Detect SW breakpoints in Cell/B.E. combined debugging
The Linux target and gdbserver now check the siginfo si_code reported on a SIGTRAP to detect whether the trap indicates a software breakpoint was hit. Unfortunately, on Cell/B.E., the kernel uses an si_code value of TRAP_BRKPT when a SW breakpoint was hit in PowerPC code, but a si_code value of SI_KERNEL when a SW breakpoint was hit in SPU code. This patch updates Linux target and gdbserver to accept both si_code values to indicate SW breakpoint on PowerPC. ChangeLog: * nat/linux-ptrace.h (GDB_ARCH_TRAP_BRKPT): Replace by ... (GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT): ... this. Add __powerpc__ case. * linux-nat.c (check_stopped_by_breakpoint): Use GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT instead of GDB_ARCH_TRAP_BRKPT. gdbserver/ChangeLog: * linux-low.c (check_stopped_by_breakpoint): Use GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT instead of GDB_ARCH_TRAP_BRKPT.
