[v3,15/17] PPC64: Fix gdb.arch/ppc64-atomic-inst.exp with displaced stepping
Commit Message
The ppc64 displaced step code can't handle atomic sequences. Fallback
to stepping over the breakpoint in-line if we detect one.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-04-17 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infrun.c (displaced_step_prepare): Return -1 if
gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn returns NULL.
(resume): When displaced stepping doesn't work, try software
single-stepping.
* rs6000-tdep.c (LWARX_MASK, LWARX_INSTRUCTION, LDARX_INSTRUCTION)
(STWCX_MASK, STWCX_INSTRUCTION, STDCX_INSTRUCTION): Move higher up
in file.
(ppc_displaced_step_copy_insn): New function.
(ppc_displaced_step_fixup): Update comment.
(rs6000_gdbarch_init): Install ppc_displaced_step_copy_insn as
gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn hook.
* gdbarch.sh (displaced_step_copy_insn): Document what happens on
NULL return.
* gdbarch.h: Regenerate.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-17 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.arch/ppc64-atomic-inst.exp (do_test): New procedure, move
tests here.
(top level): Run do_test with and without displaced stepping.
v3:
- Document that gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn can return NULL.

Probably arm atom sequences instructions can't be executed out-of-line
either, I'll write a test for this.

We need to update the comments to displaced_step_prepare_throw about
return value -1.
