gdbserver: redo stepping over breakpoint that was on top of a permanent breakpoint
I'm going to add an alternate mechanism of breakpoint trap identification to 'check_stopped_by_breakpoint' that does not rely on checking the instruction at PC. The mechanism currently used to tell whether we're stepping over a permanent breakpoint doesn't fit in that new method. This patch redoes the whole logic in a different way that works with both old and new methods, in essence moving the "stepped permanent breakpoint" detection "one level up". It makes lower level check_stopped_by_breakpoint always the adjust the PC, and then has linux_wait_1 advance the PC past the breakpoint if necessary. This ends up being better also because this now handles non-decr_pc_after_break targets too. Before, such targets would get stuck forever reexecuting the breakpoint instruction. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: 2015-02-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linux-low.c (check_stopped_by_breakpoint): Don't check if the thread was doing a step-over; always adjust the PC if we stepped over a permanent breakpoint. (linux_wait_1): If we stepped over breakpoint that was on top of a permanent breakpoint, manually advance the PC past it.
