From 1946c4ccca04e374acc040fc30c8b44d2c9ca0a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yao Qi Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 15:40:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp fails on arm Hi, Some tests in gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp fail on arm target when the displaced stepping on, but they pass when displaced stepping is off.

That is wrong because we resume a single thread and leave others stopped when doing a normal step over where we temporarily remove the breakpoint, single-step, reinsert the breakpoint, is that if we let other threads run in the period while the breakpoint is removed, then these other threads could miss the breakpoint. Since with displaced stepping, we don't ever remove the breakpoint, it should be fine to let other threads run. However, there's another reason that we should not let other threads run: that is the case where some of those threads are also stopped for a breakpoint that itself needs to be stepped over. If we just let those threads run, then they immediately re-trap their breakpoint again. when displaced stepping is off, GDB behaves correctly, only resumes the specific thread (as shown in [2]).

I also update the comment below to reflect the code. I remove the "with the breakpoint removed" comment, because GDB doesn't remove breakpoints in displaced stepping, so we don't have to worry that other threads may miss the breakpoint.
