[gdb/testsuite] Make gdb.base/longjmp.exp FAIL more stable across archs
When running test-case gdb.base/longjmp.exp on x86_64-linux, the master longjmp breakpoint is set using probes and the test-case passes: ... (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/longjmp.exp: next to longjmp (1) next^M 0x00000000004005cc 49 if (setjmp (env) == 0) /* patt1 */^M (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/longjmp.exp: next over longjmp(1) next^M 56 resumes++;^M (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/longjmp.exp: next into else block (1) ... However, if I disable create_longjmp_master_breakpoint_probe, we have instead: ... (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/longjmp.exp: next to longjmp (1) next^M 56 resumes++;^M (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/longjmp.exp: next over longjmp(1) ... At first glance, the failure mode doesn't look too bad: we stop a few insns later than the passing scenario. For contrast, if we do the same on powerpc64le, the failure mode is: ... (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/longjmp.exp: next to longjmp (1) next^M ^M Breakpoint 3, main () at longjmp.c:59^M 59 i = 1; /* miss_step_1 */^M (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/longjmp.exp: next over longjmp(1) ... Here we only stop because of running into the safety net breakpoint at miss_step_1. So, how does this happen on x86_64? Let's look at the code: ... 4005c7: e8 94 fe ff ff call 400460 <_setjmp@plt> 4005cc: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax 4005ce: 75 1e jne 4005ee <main+0x3b> 4005d0: 8b 05 8e 0a 20 00 mov 0x200a8e(%rip),%eax # 601064 <longjmps> 4005d6: 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%eax 4005d9: 89 05 85 0a 20 00 mov %eax,0x200a85(%rip) # 601064 <longjmps> 4005df: be 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%esi 4005e4: bf 80 10 60 00 mov $0x601080,%edi 4005e9: e8 82 fe ff ff call 400470 <longjmp@plt> 4005ee: 8b 05 74 0a 20 00 mov 0x200a74(%rip),%eax # 601068 <resumes> ... The next over the longjmp call at 4005e9 is supposed to stop at the longjmp target at 4005cc, but instead we stop at 4005ee, where we have the step-resume breakpoint inserted by the next. In other words, we accidentally "return" from the longjmp call to the insn immediately after it (even though a longjmp is a noreturn function). Try to avoid this accident and make the failure mode on x86_64 the same as on powerpc64le, by switching the then and else branch. Tested on x86_64-linux.
