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.
