Don't call set_gdbarch_cannot_step_breakpoint in aarch64_gdbarch_init
Hi,
I am looking at the following fails in aarch64-linux,
stepi^M
47 NOP; /* after permanent bp */^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp: always_inserted=off, sw_watchpoint=0: stepi signal with handler: single-step to handler
the test expects GDB single step into signal handler, but GDB doesn't.
The code in infrun.c:resume
/* Most targets can step a breakpoint instruction, thus
executing it normally. But if this one cannot, just
continue and we will hit it anyway. */
if (gdbarch_cannot_step_breakpoint (gdbarch))
step = 0;
change the intended action from "step" to "continue". The gdbarch method
cannot_step_breakpoint isn't documented well, and I don't get much clue
after explore the history. However, from the comments above,
aarch64-linux can step a breakpoint instruction, so don't need to call
set_gdbarch_cannot_step_breakpoint.
