[PATCH v2 0/5] Fix lost events, and handle multiple step-overs.

[Pedro Alves <palves at redhat dot com>]

This is v2 of the "Fix a bunch of run control bugs." series, found at 
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00761.html.

The patch for "PR gdb/16575: stale breakpoint instructions in the code
cache" has meanwhile gone in already.

What remains now is related to GDB losing events - breakpoints and
watchpoints - in some situations, and, about teaching GDB that it
might need to step over breakpoints in multiple threads.

Further changes in v2:

- Order of some patches changed.

- Bugs that exposed were fixed.

- One test moved to a different patch and got extended to cover
another scenario gdb was mishandling and this series fixes.

- Yao's review comments to v1's tests (to date) are addressed.

- Software single-step breakpoints are not longer converted to real
breakpoints.

One nice side effect of patch #2 is that GDB no longer removes/inserts
_all_ breakpoints when stepping over one.  GDB after that only removes
the breakpoint being stepped over.  This eliminates a lot of z0/Z0 RSP
traffic if you have a lot of breakpoints, and have a conditional or
thread-specific breakpoint constantly triggering and not causing a
user-visible stop.

This changes heavily core run control code, which affects software
single-step targets too.  For more comfortable development and
testing, I actually hacked on this against my software single-step on
x86 branch first.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, against pristine mainline, and against a
series that implements software single-step on x86-64.

In absence of barring comments, I plan to push this in soon.

Pedro Alves (5):
  Fix missing breakpoint/watchpoint hits, eliminate deferred_step_ptid.
  PR breakpoints/7143 - Watchpoint does not trigger when first set
  Fix for even more missed events; eliminate thread-hop code.
  Handle multiple step-overs.
  Make signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp run against
    remote targets too.
