changed the way breakpoints are inserted and removed such that
`insert_bp_location' can now be called with the breakpoint being handled
already in place, while previously the call was only ever made for
breakpoints that have not been put in place.  This in turn caused an
issue for software breakpoints and targets for which a breakpoint's
`placed_address' may not be the same as the original requested address.

The issue is `insert_bp_location' overwrites the previously adjusted
value in `placed_address' with the original address, that is only
replaced back with the correct adjusted address later on when
`gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc' is called.  Meanwhile there's a window
where the value in `placed_address' does not correspond to data stored
in `shadow_contents', leading to incorrect instruction bytes being
supplied when `one_breakpoint_xfer_memory' is called to supply the
instruction overlaid by the breakpoint.

And this is exactly what happens on the MIPS target with software
breakpoints placed in microMIPS code.  In this case not only
`placed_address' is not the original address because of the ISA bit, but
`mips_breakpoint_from_pc' has to read the original instruction to
determine which one of the two software breakpoint instruction encodings
to choose as well.  The 16-bit encoding is used to replace 16-bit
instructions and similarly the 32-bit one is used with 32-bit
instructions, to satisfy branch delay slot size requirements.

The mismatch between `placed_address' and the address data in
`shadow_contents' has been obtained from leads to the wrong encoding
being used in some cases, which in the case of a 32-bit software
breakpoint instruction replacing a 16-bit instruction causes corruption
to the adjacent following instruction and leads the debug session astray
if execution reaches there e.g. with a jump.

To address this problem I made the change below, that adds a
`reqstd_address' field to `struct bp_target_info' and leaves
`placed_address' unchanged once it has been set.  This ensures data in
`shadow_contents' is always consistent with `placed_address'.

This approach also has this good side effect that all the places that
examine the breakpoint's address see a consistent value, either
`reqstd_address' or `placed_address', as required.  Currently some
places see either the original or the adjusted address in
`placed_address', depending on whether they have been called before
`gdbarch_remote_breakpoint_from_pc' or afterwards.  This is in
particular true for subsequent calls to
`gdbarch_remote_breakpoint_from_pc' itself, e.g. from
`one_breakpoint_xfer_memory'.  This is also important for places like
`find_single_step_breakpoint' where a breakpoint's address is compared
to the raw value of $pc.

	* breakpoint.h (bp_target_info): Add `reqstd_address' member,
	update comments.
	* breakpoint.c (one_breakpoint_xfer_memory): Use `reqstd_address'
	for the breakpoint's address.  Don't preinitialize `placed_size'.
	(insert_bp_location): Set `reqstd_address' rather than
	`placed_address'.
	(bp_target_info_copy_insertion_state): Also copy `placed_address'.
	(bkpt_insert_location): Use `reqstd_address' for the breakpoint's
	address.
	(bkpt_remove_location): Likewise.
	(deprecated_insert_raw_breakpoint): Likewise.
	(deprecated_remove_raw_breakpoint): Likewise.
	(find_single_step_breakpoint): Likewise.
	* mem-break.c (default_memory_insert_breakpoint): Use
	`reqstd_address' for the breakpoint's address.  Don't set
	`placed_address' or `placed_size' if breakpoint contents couldn't
	have been determined.
	* remote.c (remote_insert_breakpoint): Use `reqstd_address' for
	the breakpoint's address.
	(remote_insert_hw_breakpoint): Likewise.  Don't set
	`placed_address' or `placed_size' if breakpoint couldn't have been
	set.
	* aarch64-linux-nat.c (aarch64_linux_insert_hw_breakpoint): Use
	`reqstd_address' for the breakpoint's address.
	* arm-linux-nat.c (arm_linux_hw_breakpoint_initialize): Likewise.
	* ia64-tdep.c (ia64_memory_insert_breakpoint): Likewise.

	(microblaze_linux_memory_remove_breakpoint): Likewise.

	* nto-procfs.c (procfs_insert_breakpoint): Likewise.
	(procfs_insert_hw_breakpoint): Likewise.
	* ppc-linux-nat.c (ppc_linux_insert_hw_breakpoint): Likewise.

		   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.
