PPC64: Fix gdb.arch/ppc64-atomic-inst.exp with displaced stepping
The ppc64 displaced step code can't handle atomic sequences. Fallback to stepping over the breakpoint in-line if we detect one. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (displaced_step_prepare_throw): Return -1 if gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn returns NULL. Update intro comment. * rs6000-tdep.c (LWARX_MASK, LWARX_INSTRUCTION, LDARX_INSTRUCTION) (STWCX_MASK, STWCX_INSTRUCTION, STDCX_INSTRUCTION): Move higher up in file. (ppc_displaced_step_copy_insn): New function. (ppc_displaced_step_fixup): Update comment. (rs6000_gdbarch_init): Install ppc_displaced_step_copy_insn as gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn hook. * gdbarch.sh (displaced_step_copy_insn): Document what happens on NULL return. * gdbarch.h: Regenerate. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.arch/ppc64-atomic-inst.exp (do_test): New procedure, move tests here. (top level): Run do_test with and without displaced stepping.
