Pedro Alves ab917dfb5a This PR shows that GDB can easily trigger an assertion here, in
infrun.c:

 5392              /* Did we find the stepping thread?  */
 5393              if (tp->control.step_range_end)
 5394                {
 5395                  /* Yep.  There should only one though.  */
 5396                  gdb_assert (stepping_thread == NULL);
 5397
 5398                  /* The event thread is handled at the top, before we
 5399                     enter this loop.  */
 5400                  gdb_assert (tp != ecs->event_thread);
 5401
 5402                  /* If some thread other than the event thread is
 5403                     stepping, then scheduler locking can't be in effect,
 5404                     otherwise we wouldn't have resumed the current event
 5405                     thread in the first place.  */
 5406                  gdb_assert (!schedlock_applies (currently_stepping (tp)));
 5407
 5408                  stepping_thread = tp;
 5409                }

Like:

 gdb/infrun.c:5406: internal-error: switch_back_to_stepped_thread: Assertion `!schedlock_applies (1)' failed.

The way the assertion is written is assuming that with schedlock=step
we'll always leave threads other than the one with the stepping range
locked, while that's not true with the "next" command.  With schedlock
"step", other threads still run unlocked when "next" detects a
function call and steps over it.  Whether that makes sense or not,
still, it's documented that way in the manual.  If another thread hits
an event that doesn't cause a stop while the nexting thread steps over
a function call, we'll get here and fail the assertion.

The fix is just to adjust the assertion.  Even though we found the
stepping thread, we'll still step-over the breakpoint that just
triggered correctly.

Surprisingly, gdb.threads/schedlock.exp doesn't have any test that
steps over a function call.  This commits fixes that.  This ensures
that "next" doesn't switch focus to another thread, and checks whether
other threads run locked or not, depending on scheduler locking mode
and command.  There's a lot of duplication in that file that this ends
cleaning up.  There's more that could be cleaned up, but that would
end up an unrelated change, best done separately.

This new coverage in schedlock.exp happens to trigger the internal
error in question, like so:

 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (1) (GDB internal error)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (3) (GDB internal error)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (5) (GDB internal error)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (7) (GDB internal error)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (9) (GDB internal error)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next does not change thread (switched to thread 0)
 FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: current thread advanced - unlocked (wrong amount)

That's because we have more than one thread running the same loop, and
while one thread is stepping over a function call, the other thread
hits the step-resume breakpoint of the first, which needs to be
stepped over, and we end up in switch_back_to_stepped_thread exactly
in the problem case.

I think a simpler and more directed test is also useful, to not rely
on internal breakpoint magics.  So this commit also adds a test that
has a thread trip on a conditional breakpoint that doesn't cause a
user-visible stop while another thread is stepping over a call.  That
currently fails like this:

 FAIL: gdb.threads/next-bp-other-thread.exp: schedlock=step: next over function call (GDB internal error)

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

		   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.
