Pedro Alves a911d87ad7 Fix PR19388: Can't access $_siginfo in breakpoint (catch signal) condition
This commit merges both the registers and $_siginfo "thread
running/executing" checks into a single function.

Accessing $_siginfo from a "catch signal" breakpoint condition doesn't
work.  The condition always fails with "Selected thread is running":

 (gdb) catch signal
 Catchpoint 3 (standard signals)
 (gdb)
 condition $bpnum $_siginfo.si_signo == 5
 (gdb) continue
 Continuing.
 Error in testing breakpoint condition:
 Selected thread is running.

 Catchpoint 3 (signal SIGUSR1), 0x0000003615e35877 in __GI_raise (sig=10) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:56
 56        return INLINE_SYSCALL (tgkill, 3, pid, selftid, sig);
 (gdb)

When accessing the $_siginfo object, we check whether the thread is
marked running (external/public) state and refuse the access if so.
This is so "print $_siginfo" at the prompt fails nicelly when the
current thread is running.  While evaluating breakpoint conditionals,
we haven't decided yet whether the thread is going to stop, so
is_running still returns true, and we thus always error out.

Evaluating an expression that requires registers access is really
conceptually the same -- we could think of $_siginfo as a pseudo
register.  However, in that case we check whether the thread is marked
executing (internal/private state), not running (external/public
state).  Changing the $_siginfo validation to check is_executing as
well fixes the bug in question.

Note that checking is_executing is not fully correct, not even for
registers.  See PR 19389.  However, I think this is the lesser of two
evils and ends up as an improvement.  We at least now have a single
place to fix.

Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
