[binutils-gdb] Step over fork/vfork syscall insn in gdbserver


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=92fa70b0bd8690d979357ebcdb501a9e4aa42ea6

commit 92fa70b0bd8690d979357ebcdb501a9e4aa42ea6
Author: Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
Date:   Thu Mar 3 09:17:44 2016 +0000

    Step over fork/vfork syscall insn in gdbserver
    
    We can also extend disp-step-syscall.exp to test GDBserver step over
    breakpoint on syscall instruction.  That is, we set a breakpoint
    with a false condition on syscall instruction, so that GDBserver will
    step over it.
    
    This test triggers a GDBserver internal error, which can be fixed by
    this series.
    
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: fork: break cond on target: break on syscall insns
    continue^M
    Continuing.^M
    Remote connection closed^M
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: fork: break cond on target: continue to fork again
    
    In GDBserver, there is an internal error,
    
    /home/yao/SourceCode/gnu/gdb/git/gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:1922: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected.
    unsuspend LWP 25554, suspended=-1
    
    the simplified reproducer is like,
    
    $ ./gdb ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/disp-step-syscall/disp-step-fork
    (gdb) b main
    (gdb) c
    (gdb) disassemble fork // in order to find the address of insn 'syscall'
    ....
       0x00007ffff7ad6023 <+179>:	syscall
    (gdb) b *0x00007ffff7ad6023 if main == 0
    (gdb) c
    
    gdb/testsuite:
    
    2016-03-03  Yao Qi  <yao.qi@linaro.org>
    
    	* gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp (break_cond_on_syscall): New.
    	If target supports condition evaluation on target, invoke
    	break_cond_on_syscall for fork and vfork.
