Carl Love b22548ddb3 X86: reverse-finish fix
PR record/29927  - reverse-finish requires two reverse next instructions to
reach previous source line

Currently on X86, when executing the finish command in reverse, gdb does a
single step from the first instruction in the callee to get back to the
caller.  GDB stops on the last instruction in the source code line where
the call was made.  When stopped at the last instruction of the source code
line, a reverse next or step command will stop at the first instruction
of the same source code line thus requiring two step/next commands to
reach the previous source code line.  It should only require one step/next
command to reach the previous source code line.

By contrast, a reverse next or step command from the first line in a
function stops at the first instruction in the source code line where the
call was made.

This patch fixes the reverse finish command so it will stop at the first
instruction of the source line where the function call was made.  The
behavior on X86 for the reverse-finish command now matches doing a
reverse-next from the beginning of the function.

The proceed_to_finish flag in struct thread_control_state is no longer
used.  This patch removes the declaration, initialization and setting of
the flag.

This patch requires a number of regression tests to be updated.  Test
gdb.mi/mi-reverse.exp no longer needs to execute two steps to get to the
previous line.  The gdb output for tests gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp
and gdb.reverse/until-reverse.exp changed slightly.  The expected result in
tests gdb.reverse/amd64-failcall-reverse.exp and
gdb.reverse/singlejmp-reverse.exp are updated to the correct expected
result.

This patch adds a new test gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp to test the
reverse-finish command when returning from the entry point and from the
body of the function.

The step_until proceedure in test gdb.reverse/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp
was moved to lib/gdb.exp and renamed cmd_until.

The patch has been tested on X86 and PowerPC to verify no additional
regression failures occured.

		   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

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