+ * breakpoint.c (should_be_inserted): Return 0 if the location's
+ owner is not single step breakpoint or single step breakpoint's
+ thread isn't the thread which is stepping past a breakpoint.
+ * gdbarch.sh (software_single_step): Update comments.
+ * gdbarch.h: Regenerated.
+ * infrun.c (struct step_over_info) <thread>: New field.
+ (set_step_over_info): New argument 'thread'. Callers updated.
+ (clear_step_over_info): Set field thread to -1.
+ (thread_is_stepping_over_breakpoint): New function.
+ * infrun.h (thread_is_stepping_over_breakpoint): Declaration.
