Put single-step breakpoints on the bp_location chain
This patch makes single-step breakpoints "real" breakpoints on the
global location list.
There are several benefits to this:
- It removes the currently limitation that only 2 single-step
breakpoints can be inserted. See an example here of a discussion
around a case that wants more than 2, possibly unbounded:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00663.html
- makes software single-step work on read-only code regions.
The logic to convert a software breakpoint to a hardware breakpoint
if the memory map says the breakpoint address is in read only memory
is in insert_bp_location. Because software single-step breakpoints
bypass all that go and straight to target_insert_breakpoint, we
can't software single-step over read only memory. This patch
removes that limitation, and adds a test that makes sure that works,
by forcing a code region to read-only with "mem LOW HIGH ro" and
then stepping through that.
- Fixes PR breakpoints/9649
This is an assertion failure in insert_single_step_breakpoint in
breakpoint.c, because we may leave stale single-step breakpoints
behind on error.
The tests for stepping through read-only regions exercise the root
cause of the bug, which is that we leave single-step breakpoints
behind if we fail to insert any single-step breakpoint. Deleting
the single-step breakpoints in resume_cleanups,
delete_just_stopped_threads_infrun_breakpoints, and
fetch_inferior_event fixes this. Without that, we'd no longer hit
the assertion, as that code is deleted, but we'd instead run into
errors/warnings trying to insert/remove the stale breakpoints on
next resume.
- Paves the way to have multiple threads software single-stepping at
the same time, leaving update_global_location_list to worry about
duplicate locations.
- Makes the moribund location machinery aware of software single-step
breakpoints, paving the way to enable software single-step on
non-stop, instead of forcing serialized displaced stepping for all
single steps.
- It's generaly cleaner.
We no longer have to play games with single-step breakpoints
inserted at the same address as regular breakpoints, like we
recently had to do for 7.8. See this discussion:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-06/msg00052.html.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, on top of my 'single-step breakpoints on
x86' series.
