This is a test for GDB reverse debugging commands: reverse step and reverse continue.
Every test in this suite consists of two phases: record and replay.
Recording saves the execution of some instructions and makes an initial
VM snapshot to allow reverse execution.
Replay saves the order of the first instructions and then checks that they
are executed backwards in the correct order.
After that the execution is replayed to the end, and reverse continue
command is checked by setting several breakpoints, and asserting
that the execution is stopped at the last of them.

Have you attmepted a "be" test too?  I'm curious about why this is
defined (and used later) but it's never used as `False`.

This snippet is clearly modeled after the snippet in
`boot_linux.BootLinuxBase.download_boot()`.  I'm adding an action
item to create a generic utility:

Do you think it'd make sense to have more utility methods, such as
`step()` and `bstep()` in `avocado.utils.gdb.GDBRemote` itself?

Nitpick: avoid backslash as line continuation, and favor parentheses,
that is:

    def get_pc(self, g):
        return (self.get_reg_le(g, self.REG_PC) +
                self.get_reg_le(g, self.REG_CS) * 0x10)

Despite the comments and questions, this LGTM:

It was intended to be used with PPC, but PPCs record-replay is not 
reliable enough.

I thought about it, but it was easier to not have the dependency on 
newer avocado version.
But now we can move these functions into avocado in two steps.

Agreed.

OK.  I think the versions of these functions in
`avocado.utils.gdb.GDBRemote` can benefit from parsing the reply
packets.  With that, in addition to using a strict expected reponse
(like you've done with b'T05thread:01;') the caller may inspect
only the aspects that it deems important.

For instance, one may be interested in asserting that the signal
was a SIGTRAP, but may not care about the thread ID.

Anyway, I'm opening an issue on the Avocado project page:

   https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/issues/4258

If you have ideas about the interface, please let me know.

Thanks,
- Cleber.

This separator confuses the git tools. Can you stop using it
and use the '---' one instead?

^ this should be stripped automatically but isn't.

This patch as already be merged by Paolo as commit be52eca309
("tests/acceptance: add reverse debugging test").

The notes below your '--' separator have been merged too.
Dirty, but not a big deal.
