Subject: [patch 3/4]#3 linux-nat: Do not respawn signals

Hi,

linux-nat.c is fixed to never respawn signals; possibly keeping SIGSTOP
pending, as is done in current in FSF gdbserver and as suggested by Pedro:
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-08/msg00544.html

The last linux-nat.c removed patch chunk comes from the initial implementation
by Mark Kettenis:
	[PATCH] New Linux threads support
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2000-09/msg00020.html
	92280a75e017683bf8e4f339f4f85640b0700509
It gets in part reimplemented into the new stop_wait_callback <if (lp->step)>
part and partially just not needed as currently GDB never drops the signals as
it does not PTRACE_CONT the thread; signal is kept for processing:
	"RC: Not resuming sibling %s (has pending)\n"

In stop_wait_callback I believe breakpoints cancellation is not needed here,
it would be done later.


The testcase sigstep-threads.exp was written to catch a regression-like
appearance then the new <if (lp->step)> part of stop_wait_callback gets
removed.  Still the tecase fails even with FSF HEAD:

32        var++;                /* step-1 */
(gdb) step
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
31      {                       /* step-0 */

There is no reason why it shouldn't stop on line 33, between line 32 and line
33 no signal would occur.  Stepping of the current thread should not be
affected by whatever happens in the other threads as select_event_lwp has:
  /* Give preference to any LWP that is being single-stepped.  */

There is a problem that with FSF HEAD GDB does PTRACE_SINGLESTEP for thread A,
PTRACE_CONT for thread B (because of set scheduler-locking off), thread B hits
SIGUSR1, so GDB tkills thread A with SIGSTOP and it can receive SIGSTOP for
thread A before the SIGTRAP for completed PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  At that moment
select_event_lwp. forgets it was stepping thread A because there is no pending
SIGTRAP event.  currently_stepping still remembers thread A was stepping so it
will later stop but as thread A was PTRACE_CONT-ed in the meantime it is too
late.

There is the new <if (lp->step)> part of stop_wait_callback to always track
thread A is stepping.  Due to different scheduling without this part the
changed GDB would very rarely stop in this testcase otherwise, making it look
as a regression.

I have some another patch I may post separately as if multiple signals happen
besides SIGTRAP GDB still may switch from thread A away (as not considering it
stepping) to thread B for SIGUSR and accidentally PTRACE_CONT thread A.
But I do not find this as a prerequisite for this patchset.



Thanks,
Jan

	* linux-nat.c (stop_wait_callback): New gdb_assert.  Remove signals
	respawning; keep TP with SIGNALLED.  New debugging message "SWC:
	Delayed SIGSTOP caught for %s.".  Catch next signal if SIGSTOP has
	been caught and LP->STEP is set.
	(linux_nat_wait_1) <lp && lp->signalled>: Remove.
