[gdb/testsuite] Add xfail in gdb.python/py-record-btrace.exp
There's a HW bug affecting Processor Trace on some Intel processors
(Ice Lake to Raptor Lake microarchitectures).
The bug was exposed by linux kernel commit 670638477aed
("perf/x86/intel/pt: Opportunistically use single range output mode"),
added in version v5.5.0, and was worked around by commit ce0d998be927
("perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix sampling using single range output") in version
6.1.0.
The bug manifests (on a Performance-core of an i7-1250U, an Alder Lake cpu) in
a single test-case:
...
(gdb) python insn = r.instruction_history^M
warning: Decode error (-20) at instruction 33 (offset = 0x3d6a, \
pc = 0x400501): compressed return without call.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-record-btrace.exp: prepare record: \
python insn = r.instruction_history
...
Add a corresponding XFAIL.
Note that the i7-1250U has both Performance-cores and Efficient-cores, and on
an Efficient-Core the test-case runs without any problems, so if the testsuite
run is not pinned to a specific cpu, the test may either PASS or XFAIL.
Tested on x86_64-linux:
- openSUSE Leap 15.4 with linux kernel version 5.14.21
- openSUSE Tumbleweed with linux kernel version 6.1.8
