Recognize more program breakpoint patterns
New in v3: - Code cleanups based on reviews. New in v2: - Fixed misc problems based on reviews. - Switched to using gdbarch_program_breakpoint_here_p as opposed to gdbarch_insn_is_breakpoint. - Fixed matching of brk instructions. Previously the mask was incorrect, which was showing up as a few failures in the testsuite. Now it is clean. - New testcase (separate patch). - Moved program_breakpoint_here () to arch-utils.c and made it the default implementation of gdbarch_program_breakpoint_here_p. -- It was reported to me that program breakpoints (permanent ones inserted into the code itself) other than the one GDB uses for AArch64 (0xd4200000) do not generate visible stops when continuing, and GDB will continue spinning infinitely. This happens because GDB, upon hitting one of those program breakpoints, thinks the SIGTRAP came from a delayed breakpoint hit...

To the user it appears GDB has gone into an infinite loop, interruptible only by Ctrl-C. Also, windbg seems to use a different variation of AArch64 breakpoint compared to GDB. This causes problems when debugging Windows on ARM binaries, when program breakpoints are being used. The proposed patch creates a new gdbarch method (gdbarch_program_breakpoint_here_p) that tells GDB whether the underlying instruction is a breakpoint instruction or not. This is more general than only checking for the instruction GDB uses as breakpoint. The existing logic is still preserved for targets that do not implement this new gdbarch method. The end result is like so: (gdb) x/i $pc => 0x4005c0 <problem_function>: brk #0x90f (gdb) c Continuing. infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (process 16417) infrun: proceed (addr=0xffffffffffffffff, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_DEFAULT) infrun: proceed: resuming process 16417 infrun: resume (step=0, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [process 16417] at 0x4005c0 infrun: infrun_async(1) infrun: prepare_to_wait infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) = infrun: 16417.16417.0 [process 16417], infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP infrun: handle_inferior_event status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP infrun: stop_pc = 0x4005c0 infrun: random signal (GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP) infrun: stop_waiting infrun: stop_all_threads infrun: stop_all_threads, pass=0, iterations=0 infrun: process 16417 not executing infrun: stop_all_threads, pass=1, iterations=1 infrun: process 16417 not executing infrun: stop_all_threads done Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap. problem_function () at brk.c:7 7 asm("brk %0\n\t" ::"n"(0x900 + 0xf)); infrun: infrun_async(0) gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-01-29 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org> * aarch64-tdep.c (BRK_INSN_MASK): Define to 0xffe0001f.
