Hacking on sigstep.exp, I found it harder to understand and extend

- GDB is currently not restarted between the different
tests/combinations in the file, and some parts of the tests' setup
are done on the top level, and shared between tests. It's not
trivial to understand which breakpoints each test procedure expects
to be set or not set. And it's not trivial to disable parts of the
test if you want quickly try out just a subset of the tests
(running the whole file takes a bit).
- Because GDB is currently not restarted between tests, if some test
triggers a ptrace/kernel bug, the following tests may end up with
cascading fails. That makes it hard to add a test to cover a
kernel bug that isn't fixed yet, with a xfail/kfail. E.g,. note
how with kernels with bug gdb/8744 (stepi over sigreturn syscall
exits program) the test program exits, and nothing restarts it
afterwards...
- The manual test message prefix management gets a bit in the way.
Nowadays, we have with_test_prefix which makes it simpler.
- 'i' is used as parameter name in the various procedures, meaning
'the command the test', which isn't as obvious as it could.
This commit addresses all that.

In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00652.html, Sandra
shows a target that was broken by the recent update_thread_list
optimization:
(gdb) target remote qa8-centos32-cs:10514
...
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Cannot execute this command without a live selected thread.
(gdb)
The error means that the current thread is in "exited" state when the
continue command is processed. The root of the problem was found
here:
> Sending packet: $Hg0#df...Packet received:
...
> Sending packet: $?#3f...Packet received: S00
> Sending packet: $qfThreadInfo#bb...Packet received: l
> Sending packet: $Hc-1#09...Packet received:
> Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: unset
This target doesn't really support threads (no thread indication in
stop reply packets; no support for qC), but then supports
qfThreadInfo, and returns an empty thread list to GDB.
See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00665.html for
why the target does that.
As remote_update_thread_list deletes threads from GDB's list that are
not found in the thread list that the target reports, the result is
that GDB deletes the "fake" main thread that GDB added itself. (As
that thread is currently selected, it is marked "exited" instead of
being deleted straight away.)
This commit avoids deleting the main thread in this scenario.

I noticed that "si" behaves differently when a "handle nostop" signal
arrives while the step is in progress, depending on whether the
program was stopped at a breakpoint when "si" was entered.
Specifically, in case GDB needs to step off a breakpoint, the handler
is skipped and the program stops in the next "mainline" instruction.
Otherwise, the "si" stops in the first instruction of the signal
handler.
I was surprised the testsuite doesn't catch this difference. Turns
out gdb.base/sigstep.exp covers a bunch of cases related to stepping
and signal handlers, but does not test stepi nor nexti, only
step/next/continue.
My first reaction was that stopping in the signal handler was the
correct thing to do, as it's where the next user-visible instruction
that is executed is. I considered then "nexti" -- a signal handler
could be reasonably considered a subroutine call to step over, it'd
seem intuitive to me that "nexti" would skip it.
But then, I realized that signals that arrive while a plain/line
"step" is in progress _also_ have their handler skipped. A user might
well be excused for being confused by this, given:
(gdb) help step
Step program until it reaches a different source line.
And the signal handler's sources will be in different source lines,
after all.
I think that having to explain that "stepi" steps into handlers, (and
that "nexti" wouldn't according to my reasoning above), while "step"
does not, is a sign of an awkward interface.
E.g., if a user truly is interested in stepping into signal handlers,
then it's odd that she has to either force the signal to "handle
stop", or recall to do "stepi" whenever such a signal might be
delivered. For that use case, it'd seem nicer to me if "step" also
stepped into handlers.
This suggests to me that we either need a global "step-into-handlers"
setting, or perhaps better, make "handle pass/nopass stop/nostop
print/noprint" have have an additional axis - "handle
stepinto/nostepinto", so that the user could configure whether
handlers for specific signals should be stepped into.
In any case, I think it's simpler (and thus better) for all step
commands to behave the same. This commit thus makes "si/ni" skip
handlers for "handle nostop" signals that arrive while the command was
already in progress, like step/next do.
To be clear, nothing changes if the program was stopped for a signal,
and the user enters a stepping command _then_ -- GDB still steps into
the handler. The change concerns signals that don't cause a stop and
that arrive while the step is in progress.

When running GDB's reverse debugging testsuite against a few ARM
multilibs, i noticed failures in the machinestate* testcases.
Further investigation showed that push and pop instruction encodings
A1 and A2 were not being handled properly, thus we missed saving
important contents from registers and memory. When going backwards,
such contents were not restored and thus we ended up with a corrupted
state that did not correspond to the real values we had at a
particular point in time.
Attached is a patch that fixes around 36 failures for both
gdb.reverse/machinestate.exp and
gdb.reverse/machinestate-precsave.exp testcases, making them fully
pass. This is for both armv7 and armv4. I still see failures for
armv4 thumb though, so it needs a bit more investigation.
I see no regressions due to this patch for armv7, armv7 thumb, armv4
and armv4 thumb.

This commit modifies the code that prints attach and detach messages
related to following fork and vfork. The changes include using
target_terminal_ours_for_output instead of target_terminal_ours,
printing "vfork" instead of "fork" for all vfork-related messages,
and using _() for the format strings of all of the messages.
We also add a "detach" message for when a fork parent is detached.
Previously in this case the only message was notification of attaching
to the child. We still do not print any messages when following the
parent and detaching the child (the default). The rationale for this
is that from the user's perspective the new child was never attached.
Note that all of these messages are only printed when 'verbose' is set
or when debugging is turned on.

The code in ppc64_elf_tls_optimize looking at the .toc is only

The construct being added to the cond.s test case otherwise triggered
both the "missing closing ..." and the "stray ..." (twice) warnings in
_find_end_of_line(). As that code fragments suggests, this is needed to
support (include) files that can be used for both assembler .include
and compiler #include directives.
Asserting "idx" to be non-negative when subsequent code handles this
case is bogus. In fact the assertion triggers e.g. when mistakenly
using the arm32 comment character @ following an instruction.
While doing this I also noticed that despite there being local
variables "detail" and "idx", not all places where they could be used
did actually make use of them, so this is being adjusted at once.
Finally, for the code to be slightly more robust, also change
comparisons against -1 to such checking for a (non-)negative value.
powerpc64 ld builds plt call stubs with a read barrier to provide

we have more functions that if referenced in an executable should
cause a default of --plt-thread-safe.

First:
"Breakpoint.delete" is missing parenthesis.
Second:
Someone on IRC asked, how come there is no disable() method in the
Breakpoint object. It turns out you have to do "bp.enabled = False".
Since every normal person would probably search for "disable" in that page
if their intent is to disable a python breakpoint, I thought it would be
useful if the description contained "disable" so it would be easy to find.
The result might seem a bit silly and redundant, so I am open to
suggestions.

Patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-07/msg00225.html> was
to fix the problem that py-objfile-script-gdb.py is removed after an
in-tree build and test. As a result of the previous patch (we don't
remove files copied to host any more), this patch is no longer needed.
This patch is to revert it logically.

Nowadays, if we do in-tree build and run tests sequentially, some source
files are removed, due to the following pattern:
set pi_txt [gdb_remote_download host ${srcdir}/${subdir}/pi.txt]
remote_exec host "rm -f $pi_txt"
If testing is run sequentially, file ${srcdir}/${subdir}/pi.txt is
copied to ${objdir}/${subdir}/pi.txt. However, ${objdir} is ${srcdir}
in the in-tree build/test, so the file is coped to itself, as a nop.
As a result, the file in source is removed at the end of test.
This patch fixes this problem by not removing files copied to host in
each test. This patch also addresses the question we've had that why
don't we keep files copied to host because they are needed to reproduce
certain fails.
