Joel Brobecker 35c63cd8ce Problem after hitting breakpoint on Windows (with GDBserver)
When debugging on Windows with GDBserver, the debugger starts
failing after hitting a breakpoint.  For instance:

    (gdb) b foo
    Breakpoint 1 at 0x40177e: file foo.adb, line 5.
    (gdb) cont
    Continuing.

    Breakpoint 1, foo () at foo.adb:5
    5          Put_Line ("Hello World.");  -- STOP
    (gdb) n

    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
    0x00401782 in foo () at foo.adb:5
    5          Put_Line ("Hello World.");  -- STOP

There are two issues:

  1. While trying to re-insert a breakpoint that is still inserted
     in memory, insert_bp_location wipes out the breakpoint location's
     shadow_contents.  As a consequence, we cannot restore the proper
     instruction when removing the breakpoint anymore.  That's why
     the inferior's behavior changes when trying to resume after
     the breakpoint was hit.

  2. mem-break.c:default_memory_insert_breakpoint passes a breakpoint
     location's shadow_contents as the buffer for a memory read.
     This reveals a limitation of the various memory-read target
     functions.  This patch documents this limitation and adjust
     the two calls that seem to hit that limitation.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * breakpoint.c (breakpoint_xfer_memory): Add assertion.
        Update function description.
        (insert_bp_location): Do not wipe bl->target_info out.
        * mem-break.c: #include "gdb_string.h".
        (default_memory_insert_breakpoint): Do not call target_read_memory
        with a pointer to the breakpoint's shadow_contents buffer.  Use
        a local buffer instead.
        * m32r-tdep.c (m32r_memory_insert_breakpoint): Ditto.
