Pedro Alves 4c2f2a792a Bail out of processing stop if hook-stop resumes target / changes context
This patch, relative to a tree with
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-08/msg00295.html, fixes
issues/crashes that trigger if something unexpected happens during a
hook-stop.

E.g., if the inferior disappears while running the hook-stop, we hit
failed assertions:

 (gdb) define hook-stop
 Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
 End with a line saying just "end".
 >kill
 >end
 (gdb) si
 Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]
 /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/../src/gdb/thread.c:88: internal-error: inferior_thread: Assertion `tp' failed.
 A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
 further debugging may prove unreliable.
 Quit this debugging session? (y or n)

I noticed that if a hook-stop issues a synchronous execution command,
we print the same stop event twice:

 (gdb) define hook-stop
 Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
 End with a line saying just "end".
 >si
 >end
 (gdb) si
 0x000000000040074a      42          args[i] = 1; /* Init value.  */  <<<<<<< once
 0x000000000040074a      42          args[i] = 1; /* Init value.  */  <<<<<<< twice
 (gdb)

In MI:

 *stopped,reason="end-stepping-range",frame={addr="0x000000000040074a",func="main",args=[],file="threads.c",fullname="/home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads.c",line="42"},thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0"
 *stopped,reason="end-stepping-range",frame={addr="0x000000000040074a",func="main",args=[],file="threads.c",fullname="/home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads.c",line="42"},thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0"
 (gdb)

The fix has GDB stop processing the event if the context changed.  I
don't expect people to be doing crazy things from the hook-stop.
E.g., it gives me headaches to try to come up a proper behavior for
handling a thread change from a hook-stop... (E.g., imagine the
hook-stop does thread N; step, with scheduler-locing on).  I think the
most important bit here is preventing crashes.

The patch adds a new hook-stop.exp test that covers the above and also
merges in the old hook-stop-continue.exp and hook-stop-frame.exp into
the same framework.

		   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.
