Yeah, they're not covered by the testsuite.  Actually, there seem to be
only two tests in gdb.reverse suite that even touch syscalls:
sigall-reverse (signal, sigprocmask, exit_group) and watch-reverse
(read, write).  No wonder that syscall handling is buggy...

Stepping forward and backward over pipe/time/waitpid would indeed do the
trick for patch #6.

Can I convince you to add that to the patch (and likewise to others that
might not be overly hard)?

I'll do that, if I'm not overcome by dejaGNU...  I have no idea how that
stuff works at the moment.

BTW, you'll also need to include ChangeLog entries.  Please check here:

OK, will do.


Here comes v2:

- ChangeLog entries added
- I've split the last patch in two (termios and x32)
- test cases are included that exercise #2 (getresuid), #5 (readmsg), #6 (time, waitpid, pipe), #8 (fstatat), #12 (readv); testing the rest would be rather contrived

Unfortunately, my waitpid test appears to trigger another bug - going over a fork with a breakpoint active while recording causes an error:

record-full.c:1716: internal-error: record_full_remove_breakpoint: removing unknown breakpoint

I'll try to debug this problem this weekend. Should I remove the waitpid test from this patchset for now, or mark it as an expected-fail somehow?
