Tom de Vries 1940319c0e [gdb] Fix internal-error in process_event_stop_test
The function create_exception_master_breakpoint in gdb/breakpoint.c attempts
to set a master exception breakpoint in each objfile.  It tries this using
a libgcc/unwind probe, and if that fails then using the
_Unwind_DebugHook symbol:
...
   for (objfile *objfile : current_program_space->objfiles ())
     {
        /* Try using probes.  */
        if (/* successful */)
          continue;

        /* Try using _Unwind_DebugHook */
     }
...

The preference scheme works ok both if the objfile has debug info, and if it's
stripped.

But it doesn't work when the objfile has a .gnu_debuglink to a .debug file
(and the .debug file is present).  What happens is that:
- we first encounter objfile libgcc.debug
- we try using probes, and this fails
- so we try _Unwind_DebugHook, which succeeds
- next we encounter objfile libgcc
- we try using probes, and this succeeds.
So, we end up with a master exception breakpoint in both libgcc (using probes)
and libgcc.debug (using _Unwind_DebugHook).

This eventually causes:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/nextoverthrow.exp: post-check - next over a throw 3
next^M
src/gdb/infrun.c:6384: internal-error: \
  void process_event_stop_test(execution_control_state*): \
  Assertion `ecs->event_thread->control.exception_resume_breakpoint != NULL' \
  failed.^M
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,^M
further debugging may prove unreliable.^M
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.cp/nextoverthrow.exp: next
past catch (GDB internal error)
...

To trigger this internal-error, we need to use gcc-10 or later to compile the
test-case, such that it contains the fix for gcc PR97774 - "Incorrect line
info for try/catch".

Fix this by only trying to install the master exception breakpoint in
libgcc.debug using the _Unwind_DebugHook method, if the install using probes
in libgcc failed.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

gdb/ChangeLog:

2021-01-08  Tom de Vries  <tdevries@suse.de>

	PR gdb/26881
	* breakpoint.c (create_exception_master_breakpoint_probe)
	(create_exception_master_breakpoint_hook): Factor out
	of ...
	(create_exception_master_breakpoint): ... here.  Only try to install
	the master exception breakpoint in objfile.debug using the
	_Unwind_DebugHook method, if the install using probes in objfile

		   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.
