Disable displaced stepping if trying it fails
Running the testsuite with "maint set target-non-stop on" shows: (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/valgrind-infcall.exp: continue #98 (false warning) continue Continuing. dl_main (phdr=<optimized out>..., auxv=<optimized out>) at rtld.c:2302 2302 LIBC_PROBE (init_complete, 2, LM_ID_BASE, r); Cannot access memory at address 0x400532 (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/valgrind-infcall.exp: continue #99 (false warning) p gdb_test_infcall () $1 = 1 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/valgrind-infcall.exp: p gdb_test_infcall () Even though that was a native GNU/Linux test run, this test spawns Valgrind and connects to it with "target remote". The error above is actually orthogonal to target-non-stop. The real issue is that that enables displaced stepping, and displaced stepping doesn't work with Valgrind, because we can't write to the inferior memory (thus can't copy the instruction to the scratch pad area). I'm sure there will be other targets with the same issue, so trying to identify Valgrind wouldn't be sufficient. The fix is to try setting up the displaced step anyway. If we get a MEMORY_ERROR, we disable displaced stepping for that inferior, and fall back to doing an in-line step-over. If "set displaced-stepping" is "on" (as opposed to "auto), GDB warns displaced stepping failed ("on" is mainly useful for the testsuite, not for users). Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * inferior.h (struct inferior) <displaced_stepping_failed>: New field. * infrun.c (use_displaced_stepping_now_p): New parameter 'inf'. Return false if dispaced stepping failed before. (resume): Pass the current inferior to use_displaced_stepping_now_p. Wrap displaced_step_prepare in TRY/CATCH. If we get a MEMORY_ERROR, set the inferior's displaced_stepping_failed flag, and fall back to an in-line step-over. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/valgrind-disp-step.c: New file. * gdb.base/valgrind-disp-step.exp: New file.
