Pedro Alves f3770638ca Add test for PR18214 and PR18216 - multiple step-overs with queued signals
Both PRs are triggered by the same use case.

PR18214 is about software single-step targets.  On those, the 'resume'
code that detects that we're stepping over a breakpoint and delivering
a signal at the same time:

  /* Currently, our software single-step implementation leads to different
     results than hardware single-stepping in one situation: when stepping
     into delivering a signal which has an associated signal handler,
     hardware single-step will stop at the first instruction of the handler,
     while software single-step will simply skip execution of the handler.
...
     Fortunately, we can at least fix this particular issue.  We detect
     here the case where we are about to deliver a signal while software
     single-stepping with breakpoints removed.  In this situation, we
     revert the decisions to remove all breakpoints and insert single-
     step breakpoints, and instead we install a step-resume breakpoint
     at the current address, deliver the signal without stepping, and
     once we arrive back at the step-resume breakpoint, actually step
     over the breakpoint we originally wanted to step over.  */

doesn't handle the case of _another_ thread also needing to step over
a breakpoint.  Because the other thread is just resumed at the PC
where it had stopped and a breakpoint is still inserted there, the
thread immediately re-traps the same breakpoint.  This test exercises
that.  On software single-step targets, it fails like this:

 KFAIL: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: displaced=off: signal thr3: continue to sigusr1_handler
 KFAIL: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: displaced=off: signal thr2: continue to sigusr1_handler

gdb.log (simplified):

 (gdb) KFAIL: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: displaced=off: signal thr3: continue to sigusr1_handler


For good measure, I made the test try displaced stepping too.  And
then I found it crashes GDB on x86-64 (a hardware step target), but
only when displaced stepping... :

 KFAIL: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: displaced=on: signal thr1: continue to sigusr1_handler (PRMS: gdb/18216)
 KFAIL: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: displaced=on: signal thr2: continue to sigusr1_handler (PRMS: gdb/18216)
 KFAIL: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: displaced=on: signal thr3: continue to sigusr1_handler (PRMS: gdb/18216)

The all-stop-non-stop series fixes this, but meanwhile, this augments
the multiple-step-overs.exp test to cover this, KFAILed.

		   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.
