Simon Marchi 2a740b3ba4 gdb/record-full: disable range stepping when resuming threads
I see these failures, when running with the native-gdbserver of
native-extended-gdbserver boards:

    Running /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp ...
    FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 1 LEP from function body
    FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 2 at b = 5, from function body
    FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 1 GEP call from function body
    FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 2 at b = 50 from function body

Let's use this simpler program to illustrate the problem:

    int main()
    {
      int a = 362;
      a = a * 17;
      return a;
    }

It compiles down to:

    int a = 362;
    401689:       c7 45 fc 6a 01 00 00    movl   $0x16a,-0x4(%rbp)
    a = a * 17;
    401690:       8b 55 fc                mov    -0x4(%rbp),%edx
    401693:       89 d0                   mov    %edx,%eax
    401695:       c1 e0 04                shl    $0x4,%eax
    401698:       01 d0                   add    %edx,%eax
    40169a:       89 45 fc                mov    %eax,-0x4(%rbp)
    return a;
    40169d:       8b 45 fc                mov    -0x4(%rbp),%eax

When single stepping these lines, debugging locally, while recording,
these are the recorded instructions (basically one for each instruction
shown above):

    (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction 0
    4 bytes of memory at address 0x00007fffffffdc5c changed from: 6a 01 00 00
    Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x40169a <main+21>
    (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -1
    Register rax changed: 5792
    Register eflags changed: [ PF AF IF ]
    Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401698 <main+19>
    (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -2
    Register rax changed: 362
    Register eflags changed: [ PF ZF IF ]
    Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401695 <main+16>
    (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -3
    Register rax changed: 4200069
    Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401693 <main+14>
    (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -4
    Register rdx changed: 140737488346696
    Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401690 <main+11>
    (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -5
    4 bytes of memory at address 0x00007fffffffdc5c changed from: 00 00 00 00
    Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401689 <main+4>
    (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -6
    Not enough recorded history

But when debugging remotely:

    (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction 0
    Register rdx changed: 140737488346728
    Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401690 <main+11>
    (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -1
    4 bytes of memory at address 0x00007fffffffdc7c changed from: 00 00 00 00
    Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401689 <main+4>
    (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -2
    Not enough recorded history

In this list, we only have entries for the beginning of each line.  This
is because of the remote target's support for range stepping.  The
record-full layer can only record instructions when the underlying
process target reports a stop.  With range stepping, the remote target
single-steps multiple instructions at a time, so the record-full target
doesn't get to see and record them all.

Fix this by making the record-full layer disable range-stepping
before handing the resume request to the beneath layer, forcing the
remote target to report stops for each instruction.

		   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.
