gdb/infrun: switch the context before 'displaced_step_restore'
In infrun.c's 'displaced_step_fixup', as part of the 'finish_step_over'
flow, switch to the eventing thread *before* calling
'displaced_step_restore', because down in the flow ptid-dependent
memory accesses are used via current_inferior() and current_top_target().
Without this patch, the problem is exposed with the scenario below:
$ gdb -q
(gdb) maint set target-non-stop on
(gdb) file a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
(gdb) set remote exec-file a.out
(gdb) target extended-remote | gdbserver --once --multi -
...
(gdb) add-inferior
[New inferior 2]
Added inferior 2 on connection 1 (extended-remote ...)
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) file a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
(gdb) set remote exec-file a.out
(gdb) run
...
Cannot access memory at address 0x555555555042
(gdb)
The problem is, down inside 'displaced_step_restore', GDB wants to
access the memory for inferior 2 because of an internal breakpoint.
However, the current inferior and inferior_ptid are out of sync.
While inferior_ptid correctly points to the process of inf 2 that was
just started, current_inferior points to inf 1. Then, the attempt to
access the memory fails, because target_has_execution results in false
since inf 1 was not started. I was not able to simplify the failing
scenario, but it shows the problem.
After this patch, we get
... same steps above...
(gdb) run
...
[Inferior 2 (process 28652) exited normally]
(gdb)
Regression-tested on X86_64 Linux with `make check`s default board file
and also `--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver`. In fact, the bug
fixed by this patch was exposed when using the native-extended-gdbserver
board file.
