Fix the race in gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp
The code in gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp about checking the value of tlsvar in main thread is racy, because when child thread hits breakpoint, the main thread may not go into pthread_join yet, and may not be unwind to main. This patch is to move the line setting breakpoint on after sem_wait, so that the child thread will hit breakpoint after main thread calls sem_post. IOW, when child thread hits breakpoint, the main thread is in either sem_post or pthread_join. "up 10" can unwind main thread to main. gdb/testsuite: 2014-06-06 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com> * gdb.threads/staticthreads.c (thread_function): Move the line setting breakpoint on forward. * gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: Update comments.
