This behavior shows up whenever GDB is in all-stop mode and is handling
target-initiated File-I/O requests, in the middle of, say, a continue
request.

When GDB is done handling the File-I/O request, it doesn't set
rs->waiting_for_stop_reply back to 1, meaning GDB should wait for
further target events.

This seems to be a latent bug, because in the past this didn't really
cause any issues. But it seems to have been uncovered by commit
567420d10895611e03d5ee65e6b24c16a69a6e99, which explicitly checks
for rs->waiting_for_stop_reply == 0, triggering the failures above.

The following patch fixes this by setting rs->waiting_for_stop_reply
back to 1 after handling the target-initiated File-I/O request.

*** EXIT code 0

Regression-tested on Ubuntu x86-64 and qemu-system-based debugging
for arm eabi.

OK?

This is OK.  Though I'd prefer if we removed the:

   /* We got something.  */
   rs->waiting_for_stop_reply = 0;

line, and then cleared waiting_for_stop_reply in both the

  case 'E':
  case 'T': case 'S': case 'X': case 'W':

cases.  That'd make the check for waiting_for_stop_reply in
interrupt_query work correctly while inside remote_console_output too:

     case 'O':		/* Console output.  */
       remote_console_output (buf + 1);

       /* The target didn't really stop; keep waiting.  */
       rs->waiting_for_stop_reply = 1;

Thanks,
Pedro Alves

[now cc-ing the list]

How does the attached update look? I did not move this statement:

rs->stop_reason = TARGET_STOPPED_BY_NO_REASON;

... since it only makes sense with the right value of rs->waiting_for_stop_reply, but it could also be set within each case statement.

	* remote.c (remote_wait_as): Reset rs->waiting_for_stop_reply
	when handling 'E', 'T', 'S', 'X' and 'W' packets.
	Set rs->waiting_for_stop_reply to 1 after handling 'F' packets.
