[PATCH] [arm] Fix fails in gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp


From: Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>

Hi,
I see this fail on arm-linux target,

 FAIL: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: fork: single step over fork final pc

which is caused by the PC isn't expected after displaced stepping the
svc instruction.  The code is:

=> 0xb6ead9a4 <__libc_do_syscall+4>:    svc     0
   0xb6ead9a6 <__libc_do_syscall+6>:    pop     {r7, pc}
   0xb6ead9a8:  nop.w^M
   0xb6ead9ac:  nop.w

after single step svc instruction, pc should be 0xb6ead9a6, but the
actual value of pc is 0xb6ead9a8.  The problem is illustrated by
turning on debug message of displaced stepping,

stepi^M

displaced: PC is apparently 00008576 after SVC step (within scratch space)^M
displaced: writing pc b6ead9a8  <----- WRONG ADDRESS

GDB writes the wrong address back to pc because GDB thinks the
instruction size is 4, which isn't true for thumb instruction.
This patch is to replace 4 with dsc->insn_size.

I'll commit it.

gdb:

	* arm-linux-tdep.c (arm_linux_cleanup_svc): Use
	dsc->insn_size instead of 4.
