queue name out of ProcessGDBRemote and in to the Platform
plugin, specifically PlatformDarwin.
Also add a Platform method to translate a dispatch_quaddr
to a QueueID, and a Thread::GetQueueID().
I'll add an SBThread::GetQueueID() next.

- Made the dynamic register context for the GDB remote plug-in inherit from the generic DynamicRegisterInfo to avoid code duplication
- Finished up the target definition python setting stuff.
- Added a new "slice" key/value pair that can specify that a register is part of another register:
{ 'name':'eax', 'set':0, 'bitsize':32, 'encoding':eEncodingUint, 'format':eFormatHex, 'slice': 'rax[31:0]' },
- Added a new "composite" key/value pair that can specify that a register is made up of two or more registers:
{ 'name':'d0', 'set':0, 'bitsize':64 , 'encoding':eEncodingIEEE754, 'format':eFormatFloat, 'composite': ['s1', 's0'] },
- Added a new "invalidate-regs" key/value pair for when a register is modified, it can invalidate other registers:
{ 'name':'cpsr', 'set':0, 'bitsize':32 , 'encoding':eEncodingUint, 'format':eFormatHex, 'invalidate-regs': ['r8', 'r9', 'r10', 'r11', 'r12', 'r13', 'r14', 'r15']},
This now completes the feature that allows a GDB remote target to completely describe itself.

When debugging with the GDB remote in LLDB, LLDB uses special packets to discover the
registers on the remote server. When those packets aren't supported, LLDB doesn't
know what the registers look like. This checkin implements a setting that can be used
to specify a python file that contains the registers definitions. The setting is:
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.target-definition-file /path/to/module.py
Inside module there should be a function:
def get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name):
This dynamic setting function is handed the "target" which is a SBTarget, and the
"setting_name", which is the name of the dynamic setting to retrieve. For the GDB
remote target definition the setting name is 'gdb-server-target-definition'. The
return value is a dictionary that follows the same format as the OperatingSystem
plugins follow. I have checked in an example file that implements the x86_64 GDB
register set for people to see:
examples/python/x86_64_target_definition.py
This allows LLDB to debug to any archticture that is support and allows users to
define the registers contexts when the discovery packets (qRegisterInfo, qHostInfo)
are not supported by the remote GDB server.
A few benefits of doing this in Python:
1 - The dynamic register context was already supported in the OperatingSystem plug-in
2 - Register contexts can use all of the LLDB enumerations and definitions for things
like lldb::Format, lldb::Encoding, generic register numbers, invalid registers
numbers, etc.
3 - The code that generates the register context can use the program to calculate the
register context contents (like offsets, register numbers, and more)
4 - True dynamic detection could be used where variables and types could be read from
the target program itself in order to determine which registers are available since
the target is passed into the python function.
This is designed to be used instead of XML since it is more dynamic and code flow and
functions can be used to make the dictionary.

Added a way to set hardware breakpoints from the "breakpoint set" command with the new "--hardware" option. Hardware breakpoints are not a request, they currently are a requirement. So when breakpoints are specified as hardware breakpoints, they might fail to be set when they are able to be resolved and should be used sparingly. This is currently hooked up for GDB remote debugging.
Linux and FreeBSD should quickly enable this feature if possible, or return an error for any breakpoints that are hardware breakpoint sites in the "virtual Error Process::EnableBreakpointSite (BreakpointSite *bp_site);" function.

Added a setting to control timeout for kdp response packets. While I was at it, I also added a way to control the response timeout for gdb-remote packets.
KDP defaults to 5 seconds, and GDB defaults to 1 second. These were the default values that were in the code prior to adding these settings.
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.packet-timeout 10
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.kdp-remote.packet-timeout 10

<rdar://problem/13594769>
Main changes in this patch include:
- cleanup plug-in interface and use ConstStrings for plug-in names
- Modfiied the BSD Archive plug-in to be able to pick out the correct .o file when .a files contain multiple .o files with the same name by using the timestamp
- Modified SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap to properly verify the timestamp on .o files it loads to ensure we don't load updated .o files and cause problems when debugging
The plug-in interface changes:
Modified the lldb_private::PluginInterface class that all plug-ins inherit from:
Changed:
virtual const char * GetPluginName() = 0;
To:
virtual ConstString GetPluginName() = 0;
Removed:
virtual const char * GetShortPluginName() = 0;
- Fixed up all plug-in to adhere to the new interface and to return lldb_private::ConstString values for the plug-in names.
- Fixed all plug-ins to return simple names with no prefixes. Some plug-ins had prefixes and most ones didn't, so now they all don't have prefixed names, just simple names like "linux", "gdb-remote", etc.
llvm-svn: 181631
namespace lldb_private {
class Thread
{
virtual lldb::StopInfoSP
GetPrivateStopReason() = 0;
};
}
To not be virtual. The lldb_private::Thread now handles the correct caching and will call a new pure virtual function:
namespace lldb_private {
class Thread
{
virtual bool
CalculateStopInfo() = 0;
}
}
This function must be overridden by thead lldb_private::Thread subclass and the only thing it needs to do is to set the Thread::StopInfo() with the current stop reason and return true, or return false if there is no stop reason. The lldb_private::Thread class will take care of calling this function only when it is required. This allows lldb_private::Thread subclasses to be a bit simpler and not all need to duplicate the cache and invalidation settings.
Also renamed:
lldb::StopInfoSP
lldb_private::Thread::GetPrivateStopReason();
To:
lldb::StopInfoSP
lldb_private::Thread::GetPrivateStopInfo();
Also cleaned up a case where the ThreadPlanStepOverBreakpoint might not re-set its breakpoint if the thread disappears (which was happening due to a bug when using the OperatingSystem plug-ins with memory threads and real threads).

while we develop a better understanding of how to manage the thread lists in a platform-independant fashion.
Reviewed by: Daniel Malea
llvm-svn: 181323
This checkin aims to fix this. The process now has two thread lists: a real thread list for threads that are created by the lldb_private::Process subclass, and the user visible threads. The user visible threads are the same as the real threas when no OS plug-in in used. But when an OS plug-in is used, the user thread can be a combination of real and "memory" threads. Real threads can be placed inside of memory threads so that a thread appears to be different, but is still controlled by the actual real thread. When the thread list needs updating, the lldb_private::Process class will call the: lldb_private::Process::UpdateThreadList() function with the old real thread list, and the function is expected to fill in the new real thread list with the current state of the process. After this function, the process will check if there is an OS plug-in being used, and if so, it will give the old user thread list, the new real thread list and the OS plug-in will create the new user thread list from both of these lists. If there is no OS plug-in, the real thread list is the user thread list.
These changes keep the lldb_private::Process subclasses clean and no changes are required.

Modified the lldb_private::Thread to work much better with the OperatingSystem plug-ins. Operating system plug-ins can now return have a "core" key/value pair in each thread dictionary for the OperatingSystemPython plug-ins which allows the core threads to be contained with memory threads. It also allows these memory threads to be stepped, resumed, and controlled just as if they were the actual backing threads themselves.
A few things are introduced:
- lldb_private::Thread now has a GetProtocolID() method which returns the thread protocol ID for a given thread. The protocol ID (Thread::GetProtocolID()) is usually the same as the thread id (Thread::GetID()), but it can differ when a memory thread has its own id, but is backed by an actual API thread.
- Cleaned up the Thread::WillResume() code to do the mandatory parts in Thread::ShouldResume(), and let the thread subclasses override the Thread::WillResume() which is now just a notification.
- Cleaned up ClearStackFrames() implementations so that fewer thread subclasses needed to override them
- Changed the POSIXThread class a bit since it overrode Thread::WillResume(). It is doing the wrong thing by calling "Thread::SetResumeState()" on its own, this shouldn't be done by thread subclasses, but the current code might rely on it so I left it in with a TODO comment with an explanation.

Fixed the GDB remote with the python OS plug-in to not show core threads when they aren't desired and also to have the threads "to the right thing" when continuing.
llvm-svn: 179912
LLDB is crashing when logging is enabled from lldb-perf-clang. This has to do with the global destructor chain as the process and its threads are being torn down.
All logging channels now make one and only one instance that is kept in a global pointer which is never freed. This guarantees that logging can correctly continue as the process tears itself down.

whether the thing is a breakpoint we set. So don't use "software"...

Enhance lldb so it can search for a kernel in memory when attaching
to a remote system. Remove some of the code that was doing this
from ProcessMachCore and ProcessGDBRemote and put it in
DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel.
I've added a new setting, plugin.dynamic-loader.darwin-kernel.scan-type
which can be set to
none - for environments where reading random memory can cause a
device crash
basic - look at one fixed location in memory for a kernel load address,
plus the contents of that address
fast-scan - the default, tries "basic" and then looks for the kernel's
mach header near the current pc value when lldb connects
exhaustive-scan - on 32-bit targets, step through the entire range where
the kernel can be loaded, looking for the kernel binary
I don't have the setting set up correctly right now, I'm getting back unexpected
values from the Property system, but I'll figure that out tomorrow and fix.
Besides that, all of the different communication methods / types of kernels
appear to be working correctly with these changes.

Major fixed to allow reading files that are over 4GB. The main problems were that the DataExtractor was using 32 bit offsets as a data cursor, and since we mmap all of our object files we could run into cases where if we had a very large core file that was over 4GB, we were running into the 4GB boundary.
So I defined a new "lldb::offset_t" which should be used for all file offsets.
After making this change, I enabled warnings for data loss and for enexpected implicit conversions temporarily and found a ton of things that I fixed.
Any functions that take an index internally, should use "size_t" for any indexes and also should return "size_t" for any sizes of collections.
llvm-svn: 173463
Fixed the 32, 16, and 8 bit pseudo regs for x86_64 (real reg of "rax" which subvalues "eax", "ax", etc...) to correctly get updated when stepping. Also fixed it so actual registers can specify what other registers must be invalidated when a register is modified. Previously, only pseudo registers could invalidate other registers.
Modified the LLDB qRegisterInfo extension to the GDB remote interface to support specifying the containing registers with the new "container-regs" key whose value is a comma separated list of register numbers. Also added a "invalidate-regs" key whose value is also a comma separated list of register numbers.
Removed the hack GDBRemoteDynamicRegisterInfo::Addx86_64ConvenienceRegisters() function and modified "debugserver" to specify the registers correctly using the new "container-regs" and "invalidate-regs" keys.

Swap in index ids for thread ids in GDBRemoteCommunicationClient. Besides dealing with the async logic, I have to take care of the situation when the inferior paused as well.
llvm-svn: 172869
Update the debugserver "qProcessInfo" implementation to return the
cpu type, cpu subtype, OS and vendor information just like qHostInfo
does so lldb can create an ArchSpec based on the returned values.
Add a new GetProcessArchitecture to GDBRemoteCommunicationClient akin
to GetHostArchitecture. If the qProcessInfo packet is supported,
GetProcessArchitecture will return the cpu type / subtype of the
process -- e.g. a 32-bit user process running on a 64-bit x86_64 Mac
system.
Have ProcessGDBRemote set the Target's architecture based on the
GetProcessArchitecture when we've completed an attach/launch/connect.

I modified the "Args::StringtoAddress(...)" function to be able to evaluate address expressions. This is now used for any command line arguments or options that takes addresses like:
memory read <addr> [<end-addr>]
memory write <addr>
breakpoint set --address <addr>
disassemble --start-address <addr> --end-address <addr>
It calls the expression parser to evaluate the address expression and will also work around the issue where the compiler doesn't like to add offsets to function pointers (which is what happens when you try to evaluate "main + 12"). So there is a temp fix in the Args::StringtoAddress() to work around this until we can get special compiler support for debug expressions with function pointers.
