No changes from v4, except modified to use gdbarch_byte_order_for_code
to find the endianness as pointed out by Andrew Pinski, similar to what
aarch64_analyze_prologue does. (Hopefully I got the linebreaks and
indentation right...)

gdb:
        * aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_software_single_step): New function.
        (aarch64_gdbarch_init): Handle single stepping of atomic sequences
        with aarch64_software_single_step.

Sorry for the delay. One question, see below.

AndrewP said that the code is always LE, so why not just use
BFD_ENDIAN_LITTLE in this case, rather than go through
byte_order_for_code?

Seemed sensible to do what aarch64_analyze_prologue did, rather than
hard code it... I'm happy one way or another though.

I think it is clearer if we used byte_order_for_code rather than hard
coding it to little-endian.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski

Hmmm, true. It doesn't matter all that much, I think, and yours has
indeed the advantate of consistency. I pushed your patch.

For future submissions, may I make a request? Would you mind including
the revision log as part of the email when sending your patches? I went
through all versions of the patch that were sent, and couldn't find
a description of the problem. We try to have those in the revision log
to avoid having to re-locate the patches in the mailing-list when
searching for the reasons behind the patch. The nice side-effect of
following this approach is that submitting the patch is just a matter
of "git send-email"-ing it, and for me, pushing the patch is just
a matter of "git am" + "git push" (with a possible update to add
the ChangeLog entries).

Thanks again!

Certainly, sorry about that. Will keep this in mind for next time.
