When doing "continue -a" in non-stop mode, each thread is individually
resumed while the commit resumed state is enabled. This forces the
target to commit each resumption immediately, instead of being able to
batch things.
The reason is that there is no scoped_disable_commit_resumed around the
loop over threads in continue_1, when "non_stop && all_threads" is true.
Since the proceed function is called once for each thread, the
scoped_disable_commit_resumed in proceed therefore forces commit-resumed
between each thread resumption. Add the necessary
scoped_disable_commit_resumed in continue_1 to avoid that.
I looked at the MI side of things, the function exec_continue, and found
that it was correct. There is a similar iteration over threads, and
there is a scoped_disable_commit_resumed at the function scope. This is
not wrong, but a bit more than we need. The branches that just call
continue_1 do not need it, as continue_1 takes care of disabling commit
resumed. So, move the scoped_disable_commit_resumed to the inner scope
where we iterate on threads and proceed them individually.
Here's an example debugging a multi-threaded program attached by
gdbserver (debug output trimmed for brevity):
$ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory -ex "set non-stop" -ex "tar rem :1234"
(gdb) set debug remote
(gdb) set debug infrun
(gdb) c -a
Continuing.
[infrun] proceed: enter
[infrun] scoped_disable_commit_resumed: reason=proceeding
[remote] Sending packet: $vCont;c:p14388.14388#90
[infrun] reset: reason=proceeding
[infrun] maybe_set_commit_resumed_all_targets: enabling commit-resumed for target remote
[infrun] maybe_call_commit_resumed_all_targets: calling commit_resumed for target remote
[infrun] proceed: exit
[infrun] proceed: enter

[infrun] maybe_call_commit_resumed_all_targets: calling commit_resumed for target remote
[infrun] proceed: exit
... and so on for each thread ...
Notice how we send one vCont;c for each thread. With the patch applied, we
send a single vCont;c at the end:
[infrun] scoped_disable_commit_resumed: reason=continue all threads in non-stop
[infrun] proceed: enter
[infrun] scoped_disable_commit_resumed: reason=proceeding
[infrun] reset: reason=proceeding

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.
