[PATCH] MIPS/Linux: Also recognize TRAP_BRKPT and TRAP_HWBKPT


Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00756.html

This makes the MIPS Linux backends recognize TRAP_BRKPT and
TRAP_HWBKPT in siginfo.si_code too, in addition to SI_KERNEL.  This is
in anticipation of a future kernel change.

On kernels that reports SI_KERNEL, we'll enter the "ambiguous" path of
save_stop_reason:

	  if (GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT (siginfo.si_code)
	      && GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT (siginfo.si_code))
	    {
	      /* The si_code is ambiguous on this arch -- check debug
		 registers.  */
	      if (!check_stopped_by_watchpoint (lp))
		lp->stop_reason = TARGET_STOPPED_BY_SW_BREAKPOINT;
	    }

while on kernels that report the finer-grained si_code values, we'll
enter the corresponding branches:

	  else if (GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT (siginfo.si_code))
	    {
	    }
	  else if (GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT (siginfo.si_code))
	    {
	      ...

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-02-24  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* nat/linux-ptrace.h [__mips__] (GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT): Also
	accept TRAP_BRKPT.
	 [__mips__] (GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT): Also accept TRAP_HWBKPT.
