- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
This series implements remote support for all-stop on top of non-stop.
The first bits do the base work, enough to start running the testsuite
with "maint set target-non-stop on". And then one by one, the patches
tackle issues exposed by the testsuite until I found no regressions on
x86-64 Fedora 20 (remote and extended-remote).
The last patch in the series enables the feature by default. What
this means is that for non-stop-aware remote stubs that support all
the needed extensions, GDB will always connect in non-stop mode. Note
that from the users' perspective, nothing should change -- gdb still
stops all threads whenever a breakpoint hits, etc.
The difference is that with the remote side in non-stop mode, gdb is
always free to sent commands/packets, even while the target is
running, due to the asynchronous nature of the non-stop variant of the
RSP. E.g.,
Before:
(gdb) c&
Continuing.
(gdb) Reading /lib64/libpthread.so.0 from remote target...
Reading /lib64/libc.so.6 from remote target...
b threads.c:68
Cannot execute this command while the target is running.
Use the "interrupt" command to stop the target
and then try again.
(gdb)
After:
(gdb) c&
Continuing.
(gdb) Reading /lib64/libpthread.so.0 from remote target...
Reading /lib64/libc.so.6 from remote target...

In addition, this paves to way for itsets support with remote
targets too.
As with the equivalent work done for the native target, it's easy to
revert back to the old behavior by entering "maint set target-non-stop
off" or reverting the last patch.
