Currently, we always re-set all locations of all breakpoints. This
commit makes us re-set only locations of the current program space.
If we loaded symbols to a program space (e.g., "file" command or some
shared library was loaded), GDB must run through all breakpoints and
determine if any new locations need to be added to the breakpoint.
However, there's no reason to recreate locations for _other_ program
spaces, as those haven't changed.
Similarly, when we create a new inferior, through e.g., a fork, GDB
must run through all breakpoints and determine if any new locations
need to be added to the breakpoint. There's no reason to destroy the
locations of the parent inferior and other inferiors. We know those
won't change.
In addition to being inneficient, resetting breakpoints of inferiors
that are currently running is problematic, because:
- some targets can't read memory while the inferior is running.
- the inferior might exit while we're re-setting its breakpoints,
which may confuse prologue skipping.
I went through all the places where we call breakpoint_re_set, and it
seems to me that all can be changed to only re-set locations of the
current program space.
The patch that reversed threads order in "info threads" etc. happened
to make gdb.threads/fork-plus-thread.exp expose this problem when
testing on x86/-m32. The problem was latent and masked out by chance
by the code-cache:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-01/msg00213.html
Tested on x86-64 F20, native (-m64/-m32) and extended-remote
gdbserver.
Fixes the regression discussed in the url above with --target_board=unix/-m32:
-FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: inferior 1 exited
+PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: inferior 1 exited
-FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: no threads left (timeout)
-FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: only inferior 1 left (the program exited)
+PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: no threads left
+PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: only inferior 1 left
