Handle reinsert breakpoints for vforked child
When a thread is doing step-over with reinsert breakpoint, and the instruction executed is a syscall doing vfork, both parent and child share the memory, so the reinsert breakpoint in the space is visible to both of them. Also, removing the reinsert breakpoints from the child will effectively remove them from the parent. We should carefully manipulate reinsert breakpoints for both processes. What we are doing here is that - uninsert reinsert breakpoints from the parent before cloning the breakpoint list. We use "uninsert" instead of "remove", because we need to "reinsert" them back after vfork is done. In fact, "uninsert" removes them from both child and parent process space. - reinsert breakpoints in parent process are still copied to child's breakpoint list, - remove them from child's breakpoint list as what we did for fork, at this point, reinsert breakpoints are removed from the child and the parent, but they are still tracked by the parent's breakpoint list, - once vfork is done, "reinsert" them back to the parent, gdb/gdbserver: 2016-06-17 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Call uninsert_reinsert_breakpoints for the parent process. Remove reinsert breakpoints from the child process. Reinsert them to the parent process when vfork is done. * mem-break.c (uninsert_reinsert_breakpoints): New function. (reinsert_reinsert_breakpoints): New function. * mem-break.h (uninsert_reinsert_breakpoints): Declare (reinsert_reinsert_breakpoints): Declare.
