[PATCH 5/8] Linux native: Use TRAP_BRKPT/TRAP_HWBPT


This patch adjusts the native Linux target backend to tell the core
whether a trap was caused by a breakpoint.

It teaches the target to get that information out of the si_code of
the SIGTRAP siginfo.

Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, s390 RHEL 7, and PPC64 Fedora 18.  An
earlier version was tested on ARM Fedora 21.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-02-25  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* linux-nat.c (save_sigtrap): Check for breakpoints before
	checking watchpoints.
	(status_callback) [USE_SIGTRAP_SIGINFO]: Don't check whether a
	breakpoint is inserted if relying on SIGTRAP's siginfo.si_code.
	(check_stopped_by_breakpoint) [USE_SIGTRAP_SIGINFO]: Decide whether
	a breakpoint triggered based on the SIGTRAP's siginfo.si_code.
	(linux_nat_stopped_by_sw_breakpoint)
	(linux_nat_supports_stopped_by_sw_breakpoint)
	(linux_nat_stopped_by_hw_breakpoint)
	(linux_nat_supports_stopped_by_hw_breakpoint): New functions.
	(linux_nat_wait_1): Don't re-increment the PC if relying on
	SIGTRAP's siginfo->si_code.
	(linux_nat_add_target): Install new target methods.
	* linux-thread-db.c (check_event): Don't account for breakpoint PC
	offset if the target already adjusted the PC.
	* nat/linux-ptrace.h (USE_SIGTRAP_SIGINFO): New.
	(GDB_ARCH_TRAP_BRKPT): New.
	(TRAP_HWBKPT): Define if not already defined.

+/* True if whether a breakpoint/watchpoint triggered can be determined
+   from the si_code of SIGTRAP's siginfo_t (TRAP_BRKPT/TRAP_HWBKPT).
+   That is, if the kernel can tell us whether the thread executed a
+   software breakpoint, we trust it.  The kernel will be determining
+   that from the hardware (e.g., from which exception was raised in
+   the CPU).  Relying on whether a breakpoint is planted in memory at
+   the time the SIGTRAP is processed to determine whether the thread
+   stopped for a software breakpoint can be too late.  E.g., the
+   breakpoint could have been removed since.  Or the thread could have
+   stepped an instruction the size of a breakpoint instruction, and
+   before the stop is processed a breakpoint is inserted at its
+   address.  Getting these wrong is disastrous on decr_pc_after_break
+   architectures.  The moribund location mechanism helps with that
+   somewhat but it is an heuristic, and can well fail.  Getting that
+   information out of the kernel and ultimately out of the CPU is the
+   way to go.  That said, some architecture may get the si_code wrong,
