Hi,
Some tests in gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp fail on arm target
when the displaced stepping on, but they pass when displaced stepping
is off.

when displaced stepping is on,

GDB resumes the whole process (all threads) rather than the specific
thread for which GDB wants to step over the breakpoint (as shown in [1]).
That is wrong because we resume a single thread and leave others stopped
when doing a normal step over where we temporarily remove the breakpoint,
single-step, reinsert the breakpoint, is that if we let other threads run
in the period while the breakpoint is removed, then these other threads
could miss the breakpoint. Since with displaced stepping, we don't ever
remove the breakpoint, it should be fine to let other threads run. However,
there's another reason that we should not let other threads run: that is
the case where some of those threads are also stopped for a breakpoint that
itself needs to be stepped over. If we just let those threads run, then
they immediately re-trap their breakpoint again.
when displaced stepping is off, GDB behaves correctly, only resumes
the specific thread (as shown in [2]).

The current logic in GDB on deciding the set of threads to resume is:
/* Decide the set of threads to ask the target to resume. */
if ((step || thread_has_single_step_breakpoints_set (tp))
&& tp->control.trap_expected)
{
/* We're allowing a thread to run past a breakpoint it has
hit, by single-stepping the thread with the breakpoint
removed. In which case, we need to single-step only this
thread, and keep others stopped, as they can miss this
breakpoint if allowed to run. */
resume_ptid = inferior_ptid;
}
else
resume_ptid = internal_resume_ptid (user_step);
it doesn't handle the case correctly that GDB continue (instead of
single step) the thread for displaced stepping.
I also update the comment below to reflect the code. I remove the
"with the breakpoint removed" comment, because GDB doesn't remove
breakpoints in displaced stepping, so we don't have to worry that
other threads may miss the breakpoint.
Patch is regression tested on both x86_64-linux and arm-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.
