Fix disp-step-syscall.exp: fork: single step over fork. * i386-linux-tdep.c (-i386_linux_get_syscall_number): Rename to ... (i386_linux_get_syscall_number_from_regcache): ... here, new function comment, change parameters gdbarch and ptid to regcache. Remove parameter regcache, initialize gdbarch from regcache here. (i386_linux_get_syscall_number, i386_linux_displaced_step_copy_insn): New functions. (i386_linux_init_abi): Install i386_linux_displaced_step_copy_insn instead. * i386-tdep.c (i386_syscall_p): Check also for 'sysenter' and 'syscall'. Make the 'int' check more strict. gdb/testsuite/ Fix disp-step-syscall.exp: fork: single step over fork. * gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp (syscall_insn): Anchor it by whitespaces. (single step over $syscall): Remove its check. (single step over $syscall final pc): New check.

+ Some vDSOs contain 'int $0x80; ret' and during stepping out of the syscall
+ i386_displaced_step_fixup would keep PC at the displaced pad location.
+ As PC is pointing to the 'ret' instruction before the step

+ and PC should not be adjusted. In reality it finished syscall instead and
+ PC should get relocated back to its vDSO address. Hide the 'ret'
+ instruction by 'nop' so that i386_displaced_step_fixup is not confused.
+
+ It is not fully correct as the bytes in struct displaced_step_closure will
+ not match the inferior code. But we would need some new flag in
+ displaced_step_closure otherwise to keep the state that syscall is finishing
+ for the later i386_displaced_step_fixup execution as the syscall execution
+ is already no longer detectable there. The new flag field would mean
+ i386-linux-tdep.c needs to wrap all the displacement methods of i386-tdep.c
+ which does not seem worth it. The same effect is achieved by patching that
+ 'nop' instruction there instead. */
