gdb/record-full: disable range stepping when resuming threads
I see these failures, when running with the native-gdbserver of
native-extended-gdbserver boards:
Running /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp ...
FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 1 LEP from function body
FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 2 at b = 5, from function body
FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 1 GEP call from function body
FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 2 at b = 50 from function body
Let's use this simpler program to illustrate the problem:
int main()
{
int a = 362;
a = a * 17;
return a;
}
It compiles down to:
int a = 362;
401689: c7 45 fc 6a 01 00 00 movl $0x16a,-0x4(%rbp)
a = a * 17;
401690: 8b 55 fc mov -0x4(%rbp),%edx
401693: 89 d0 mov %edx,%eax
401695: c1 e0 04 shl $0x4,%eax
401698: 01 d0 add %edx,%eax
40169a: 89 45 fc mov %eax,-0x4(%rbp)
return a;
40169d: 8b 45 fc mov -0x4(%rbp),%eax
When single stepping these lines, debugging locally, while recording,
these are the recorded instructions (basically one for each instruction
shown above):

Not enough recorded history
But when debugging remotely:
(gdb) maintenance print record-instruction 0
Register rdx changed:
140737488346728
Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401690 <main+11>
(gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -1
4 bytes of memory at address 0x00007fffffffdc7c changed from: 00 00 00 00
Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401689 <main+4>
(gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -2
Not enough recorded history
In this list, we only have entries for the beginning of each line. This
is because of the remote target's support for range stepping. The
record-full layer can only record instructions when the underlying
process target reports a stop. With range stepping, the remote target
single-steps multiple instructions at a time, so the record-full target
doesn't get to see and record them all.
Fix this by making the record-full layer disable range-stepping
before handing the resume request to the beneath layer, forcing the
remote target to report stops for each instruction.
