Before this patch there was only one call: can_hardware_single_step. Its
implementation was a check on breakpoint_reinsert_addr if NULL it assumed
that the target could hardware single step.
This patch prepares for the case where this is not true anymore.
In order to improve software single stepping in GDBServer the
breakpoint_reinsert_addr operation of targets that had a very simple
software implementation used only for stepping over thread creation events
will be removed.
This will create a case where a target does not support hardware single
step and has the operation breakpoint_reinsert_addr set to NULL, thus
can_hardware_single_step needs to be implemented another way.
A new target operation supports_hardware_single_step is introduced and is
to return true if the target does support such a feature, support for the
feature is manually hardcoded.
Note that the hardware single step support was enabled as per the current
behavior, I did not check if tile for example really has ptrace singlestep
support but since the current implementation assumed it had, I kept it
that way.
No regressions on Ubuntu 14.04 on ARMv7 and x86.

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.
