Yao Qi c8f4bfdd12 gdbserver gnu/linux: stepping over breakpoint
Hi,
I see the following error on arm linux gdbserver,

continue^M
Continuing.^M
../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbserver/linux-arm-low.c:458: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected.^M
raw_bkpt_type_to_arm_hwbp_type: unhandled raw type^M
Remote connection closed^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/cond-eval-mode.exp: hbreak: continue

After we make GDBserver handling Zx/zx packet idempotent,

  [PATCH 3/3] [GDBserver] Make Zx/zx packet handling idempotent.
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-04/msg00480.html

> Now removal/insertion of all kinds of breakpoints/watchpoints, either
> internal, or from GDB, always go through the target methods.

GDBserver handles all kinds of breakpoints/watchpoints through target
methods.  However, some target backends, such as arm, don't support Z0
packet but need software breakpoint to do breakpoint stepping over in
linux-low.c:start_step_over,

  if (can_hardware_single_step ())
    {
      step = 1;
    }
  else
    {
      CORE_ADDR raddr = (*the_low_target.breakpoint_reinsert_addr) ();
      set_reinsert_breakpoint (raddr);
      step = 0;
    }

a software breakpoint is requested to the backend, and the error is
triggered.  This problem should affect targets having
breakpoint_reinsert_addr hooked.

Instead of handling memory breakpoint in these affected linux backend,
this patch handles memory breakpoint in linux_{insert,remove}_point,
that, if memory breakpoint is requested, call
{insert,remove}_memory_breakpoint respectively.  Then, it becomes
unnecessary to handle memory breakpoint for linux x86 backend, so
this patch removes the code there.

This patch is tested with GDBserver on x86_64-linux and arm-linux
(-marm, -mthumb).  Note that there are still some fails in
gdb.base/cond-eval-mode.exp with -mthumb, because GDBserver doesn't
know how to select the correct breakpoint instruction according to
the arm-or-thumb-mode of requested address.  This is a separate
issue, anyway.

gdb/gdbserver:

	* linux-low.c (linux_insert_point): Call
	insert_memory_breakpoint if TYPE is raw_bkpt_type_sw.
	(linux_remove_point): Call remove_memory_breakpoint if type is
	raw_bkpt_type_sw.
	* linux-x86-low.c (x86_insert_point): Don't call

	(x86_remove_point): Don't call remove_memory_breakpoint.

		   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

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