Yao Qi 4a7e075c3f Tweak gdb.reverse/step-precsave.exp and gdb.reverse/step-reverse.exp
I see the following test fail in arm-linux with -marm and -fomit-frame-pointer,

 step
 callee () at /home/yao/SourceCode/gnu/gdb/git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.reverse/step-reverse.c:27
 27      }                       /* RETURN FROM CALLEE */
 (gdb) step
 main () at /home/yao/SourceCode/gnu/gdb/git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.reverse/step-reverse.c:58
 58         callee();    /* STEP INTO THIS CALL */
 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.reverse/step-precsave.exp: reverse step into fn call

As we can see, the "step" has already stepped into the function callee,
but in the last line.  The second "step" attempts to step to function
body, but it goes out of callee, which isn't expected.

The program is compiled with -marm and -fomit-frame-pointer, the
function callee is prologue-less, because nothing needs to be saved
on stack,

(gdb) disassemble callee
Dump of assembler code for function callee:
   0x00010680 <+0>:	movw	r3, #2364	; 0x93c
   0x00010684 <+4>:	movt	r3, #2
   0x00010688 <+8>:	ldr	r3, [r3]
   0x0001068c <+12>:	add	r2, r3, #1
   0x00010690 <+16>:	movw	r3, #2364	; 0x93c
   0x00010694 <+20>:	movt	r3, #2
   0x00010698 <+24>:	str	r2, [r3]
   0x0001069c <+28>:	mov	r3, #0
   0x000106a0 <+32>:	mov	r0, r3
   0x000106a4 <+36>:	bx	lr

program stops at the 0x106a0 (passed the epilogue) after the first
"step".  When second "step" is executed, the stepping range is
[0x10680-0x106a0], which starts from the first instruction of function
callee (because it doesn't have prologue).

infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [LWP 2461] at 0x1069c^M
infrun: prepare_to_wait^M
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =^M
infrun:   2461.2461.0 [LWP 2461],^M
infrun:   status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP^M
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED^M
infrun: stop_pc = 0x10698^M
infrun: stepping inside range [0x10680-0x106a0]

When program goes out of the range, it stops at the caller of callee,
and test fails.  IOW, if function callee has prologue, the stepping
range won't start from the first instruction of the function, and
program stops at the prologue and test passes.

IMO, GDB does nothing wrong, but test shouldn't expect the program
stops in callee after the second "step".  I decide to fix test rather
than GDB.  In this patch, I change to test to do one "step", and check
the program is still in callee, then, do multiple "step" until program
goes out of the callee.

gdb/testsuite:

2016-04-22  Yao Qi  <yao.qi@linaro.org>

	* gdb.reverse/step-precsave.exp: Do one step and test program
	stops in "callee" and do multiple steps until program goes out
	of "callee".
	* gdb.reverse/step-reverse.exp: Likewise.

README

		   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.
