[PATCH v2] Fix hardware watchpoints in replay mode

[PATCH v2] Fix hardware watchpoints in replay mode

[Hannes Domani]

Changes introduced by commit 9e8915c6cee5c37637521b424d723e990e06d597
caused a regression that meant hardware watchpoint stops would not
trigger in reverse execution or replay mode.  This was documented in
PR breakpoints/21969.
The problem is that record_check_stopped_by_breakpoint always overwrites
record_full_stop_reason, thus loosing the TARGET_STOPPED_BY_WATCHPOINT
value which would be checked afterwards.

This commit fixes that by checking if record_full_stop_reason is
TARGET_STOPPED_BY_BREAKPOINT and, if so, not overriding it.

Hi! Thanks for the quick turn around for this patch!

So I did some more digging on this, based on your response to the v1 
email, copied here for convenience:

     I just tried this, with this change it suddenly shows SIGTRAP instead of
     hit watchpoints, so I will keep it as it is now.

The reason it shows a SIGTRAP is that record_full_stop_reason ended up 
over-written anyway to stop_no_reason, so you are right that just 
flipping isn't enough. If you were to put this call in an "else if", 
instead of unrelated ifs, the issue stops happening. But I wonder if 
this is the right place to solve it anyway. I think 
record_check_stopped_by_breakpoint should just not overwrite 
record_full_stop_reason at all times.

It seems that since record_check_stopped_by_breakpoint was introduced in 
9e8915c6cee5c37637521b424d723e990e06d597 by Pedro (back in 2015), it was 
already indiscriminately overwriting the reason. I changed that locally 
and see no regressions and it also fixes this issue. Pedro, do you 
happen to remember why you added this back then?

This is a better solution! nice catch :)

I did forget to mention in last email (sorry =/ ) but there is a second 
test to do with watchpoints, called watch-precsave.exp, that - from what 
I gather - should always be the same as watch-reverse, but it uses a 
pre-recorded execution instead. I tried the same trick of disabling and 
re-enabling the watchpoints, but it didn't trigger the bug on that one 
(and just blindly clean-restarting and redoing the start also didn't 
work), I think it needs some work too. Or at least some investigation 
about if the bug does trigger on that scenario.

I saw that, but it doesn't really make clear what I should do now.
And from what I can remember of our discussion on IRC, you wanted to wait if Pedro had anything to add.

Ah right, sorry, this last month has been pretty hectic, our 
conversation completely slipped my mind.

I took a second, long look at record_check_stopped_by_breakpoint and 
convinced myself, I don't see why it should overwrite the reason if gdb 
is not stopped at a watchpoint. I would say send in a v3 with that 
solution instead, CC Pedro, and I'll give some time for him to react 
before approving the changes.

Also, the changes you made to gdb.reverse/watch-reverse.exp should also 
be made on gdb.reverse/watch-precsave.exp, since it has the same problem 
that you identified with watch-reverse.
