Pedro Alves c65d6b55b3 Fix PR18360 - internal error when using "interrupt -a"
If you do "interrupt -a" just while some thread is stepping over a
breakpoint, gdb trips on an internal error.

The test added by this patch manages to trigger this consistently by
spawning a few threads that are constantly tripping on a conditional
breakpoint whose condition always evaluates to false.  With current
gdb, you get:

~~~
 interrupt -a
 .../src/gdb/inline-frame.c:343: internal-error: void skip_inline_frames(ptid_t): Assertion `find_inline_frame_state (ptid) == NULL' failed.
 A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
 further debugging may prove unreliable.
 Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/interrupt-while-step-over.exp: displaced-stepping=on: iter=0: interrupt -a (GDB internal error)
[...]
 .../src/gdb/inline-frame.c:343: internal-error: void skip_inline_frames(ptid_t): Assertion `find_inline_frame_state (ptid) == NULL' failed.
 A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
 further debugging may prove unreliable.
 Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/interrupt-while-step-over.exp: displaced-stepping=off: iter=0: wait for stops (GDB internal error)
~~~

The assertion triggers because we're processing a stop for a thread
that had already stopped before and thus had already its inline-frame
state filled in.

Calling handle_inferior_event_1 directly within a
"thread_stop_requested" observer is something that I've wanted to get
rid of before, for being fragile.  Nowadays, infrun is aware of
threads with pending events, so we can use that instead, and let the
normal fetch_inferior_event -> handle_inferior_event code path handle
the forced stop.

The change to finish_step_over is necessary because sometimes a thread
that was told to PTRACE_SINGLESTEP reports back a SIGSTOP instead of a
SIGTRAP (i.e., we tell it to single-step, and then interrupt it quick
enough that on the kernel side the thread dequeues the SIGTOP before
ever having had a chance of executing the instruction to be stepped).
SIGSTOP gets translated to a GDB_SIGNAL_0.  And then finish_step_over
would miss calling clear_step_over_info, and thus miss restarting the
other threads (which in this case of threads with pending events,
means setting their "resumed" flag, so their pending events can be
consumed).

And now that we always restart threads in finish_step_over, we no
longer need to do that in handle_signal_stop.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver.

		   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.
