Fix adjust_pc_after_break, remove still current thread check
On decr_pc_after_break targets, GDB adjusts the PC incorrectly if a background single-step stops somewhere where PC-$decr_pc has a breakpoint, and the thread that finishes the step is not the current thread, like: ADDR1 nop <-- breakpoint here ADDR2 jmp PC IOW, say thread A is stepping ADDR2's line in the background (an infinite loop), and the user switches focus to thread B. GDB's adjust_pc_after_break logic confuses the single-step stop of thread A for a hit of the breakpoint at ADDR1, and thus adjusts thread A's PC to point at ADDR1 when it should not, and reports a breakpoint hit, when thread A did not execute the instruction at ADDR1 at all. The test added by this patch exercises exactly that. I can't find any reason we'd need the "thread to be examined is still the current thread" condition in adjust_pc_after_break, at least nowadays; it might have made sense in the past. Best just remove it, and rely on currently_stepping(). Here's the test's log of a run with an unpatched GDB: 35 while (1); (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/step-bg-decr-pc-switch-thread.exp: next over nop next& (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/step-bg-decr-pc-switch-thread.exp: next& over inf loop thread 1 [Switching to thread 1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 29027))](running) (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/step-bg-decr-pc-switch-thread.exp: switch to main thread Breakpoint 2, thread_function (arg=0x0) at ...src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/step-bg-decr-pc-switch-thread.c:34 34 NOP; /* set breakpoint here */ FAIL: gdb.threads/step-bg-decr-pc-switch-thread.exp: no output while stepping gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-02-11 Pedro Alves <pedro@codesourcery.com> * infrun.c (adjust_pc_after_break): Don't adjust the PC just because the event thread is not the current thread. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-02-11 Pedro Alves <pedro@codesourcery.com> * gdb.threads/step-bg-decr-pc-switch-thread.c: New file. * gdb.threads/step-bg-decr-pc-switch-thread.exp: New file.
