Pedro Alves 7c16b83e05 Put single-step breakpoints on the bp_location chain
This patch makes single-step breakpoints "real" breakpoints on the
global location list.

There are several benefits to this:

- It removes the currently limitation that only 2 single-step
  breakpoints can be inserted.  See an example here of a discussion
  around a case that wants more than 2, possibly unbounded:

  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00663.html

- makes software single-step work on read-only code regions.

  The logic to convert a software breakpoint to a hardware breakpoint
  if the memory map says the breakpoint address is in read only memory
  is in insert_bp_location.  Because software single-step breakpoints
  bypass all that go and straight to target_insert_breakpoint, we
  can't software single-step over read only memory.  This patch
  removes that limitation, and adds a test that makes sure that works,
  by forcing a code region to read-only with "mem LOW HIGH ro" and
  then stepping through that.

- Fixes PR breakpoints/9649

  This is an assertion failure in insert_single_step_breakpoint in
  breakpoint.c, because we may leave stale single-step breakpoints
  behind on error.

  The tests for stepping through read-only regions exercise the root
  cause of the bug, which is that we leave single-step breakpoints
  behind if we fail to insert any single-step breakpoint.  Deleting
  the single-step breakpoints in resume_cleanups,
  delete_just_stopped_threads_infrun_breakpoints, and
  fetch_inferior_event fixes this.  Without that, we'd no longer hit
  the assertion, as that code is deleted, but we'd instead run into
  errors/warnings trying to insert/remove the stale breakpoints on
  next resume.

- Paves the way to have multiple threads software single-stepping at
  the same time, leaving update_global_location_list to worry about
  duplicate locations.

- Makes the moribund location machinery aware of software single-step
  breakpoints, paving the way to enable software single-step on
  non-stop, instead of forcing serialized displaced stepping for all
  single steps.

- It's generaly cleaner.

  We no longer have to play games with single-step breakpoints
  inserted at the same address as regular breakpoints, like we
  recently had to do for 7.8.  See this discussion:

  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-06/msg00052.html.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, on top of my 'single-step breakpoints on
x86' series.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
