That is a bit misleading. It used to be the case it was only used for non-stop mode, but
nowadays it is supported if the underlying target supports it.

I don't think Arm (As in arm-none-elf, I'm assuming this is the case here) supports it, but when
debugging linux-hosted Arm binaries, then it is supported.

See gdb/infrun.c:gdbarch_supports_displaced_stepping.
