Commit Message

Metzger, Markus T April 10, 2024, 7:46 a.m. UTC
  When trying to step over a breakpoint at the end of the trace, the
step-over will fail with no-history.  This does not clear step_over_info
so a subsequent resume will cause GDB to not resume the thread and expect
a SIGTRAP to complete the step-over.  This will never come causing GDB to
hang in the wait-for-event poll.

That step-over failed after actually completing the step.  This is wrong.
The step-over itself should have failed and the step should not have
completed.  Fix it by moving the end of execution history check to before
we are stepping.

This exposes another issue, however.  When completing a step-over at the
end of the execution history, we implicitly stop replaying that thread.  A
continue command would resume after the step-over and, since we're no
longer replaying, would continue recording.

Fix that by recording the replay state in the thread's control state and
failing with no-history in keep_going if we're switching from replay to
recording.
