"gcc" register numbers are now correctly referred to as "ehframe"
register numbers. In almost all cases, ehframe and dwarf register
numbers are identical (the one exception is i386 darwin where ehframe
regnums were incorrect).
The old "gdb" register numbers, which I incorrectly thought were
stabs register numbers, are now referred to as "Process Plugin"
register numbers. This is the register numbering scheme that the
remote process controller stub (lldb-server, gdbserver, core file
support, kdp server, remote jtag devices, etc) uses to refer to the
registers. The process plugin register numbers may not be contiguous
- there are remote jtag devices that have gaps in their register
numbering schemes.
I removed all of the enums for "gdb" register numbers that we had
in lldb - these were meaningless - and I put LLDB_INVALID_REGNUM
in all of the register tables for the Process Plugin regnum slot.
This change is almost entirely mechnical; the one actual change in
here is to ProcessGDBRemote.cpp's ParseRegisters() which parses the
qXfer:features:read:target.xml response. As it parses register
definitions from the xml, it will assign sequential numbers as the
eRegisterKindLLDB numbers (the lldb register numberings must be
sequential, without any gaps) and if the xml file specifies register
numbers, those will be used as the eRegisterKindProcessPlugin
register numbers (and those may have gaps). A J-Link jtag device's
target.xml does contain a gap in register numbers, and it only
specifies the register numbers for the registers after that gap.
The device supports many different ARM boards and probably selects
different part of its register file as appropriate.

for eh_frame and stabs register numberings. This is not
complete but it's a step in the right direction. It's almost
entirely mechanical.
lldb informally uses "gcc register numbering" to mean eh_frame.
Why? Probably because there's a notorious bug with gcc on i386
darwin where the register numbers in eh_frame were incorrect.
In all other cases, eh_frame register numbering is identical to
dwarf.
lldb informally uses "gdb register numbering" to mean stabs.
There are no official definitions of stabs register numbers
for different architectures, so the implementations of gdb
and gcc are the de facto reference source.
There were some incorrect uses of these register number types
in lldb already. I fixed the ones that I saw as I made
this change.
This commit changes all references to "gcc" and "gdb" register
numbers in lldb to "eh_frame" and "stabs" to make it clear
what is actually being represented.
lldb cannot parse the stabs debug format, and given that no
one is using stabs any more, it is unlikely that it ever will.
A more comprehensive cleanup would remove the stabs register
numbers altogether - it's unnecessary cruft / complication to
all of our register structures.
In ProcessGDBRemote, when we get register definitions from
the gdb-remote stub, we expect to see "gcc:" (qRegisterInfo)
or "gcc_regnum" (qXfer:features:read: packet to get xml payload).
This patch changes ProcessGDBRemote to also accept "ehframe:"
and "ehframe_regnum" from these remotes.
I did not change GDBRemoteCommunicationServerLLGS or debugserver
to send these new packets. I don't know what kind of interoperability
constraints we might be working under. At some point in the future
we should transition to using the more descriptive names.
Throughout lldb we're still using enum names like "gcc_r0" and "gdb_r0",
for eh_frame and stabs register numberings. These should be cleaned
up eventually too.
The sources link cleanly on macosx native with xcode build. I
don't think we'll see problems on other platforms but please let
me know if I broke anyone.

Summary:
This commit moves the m_spawned_pids member from the common LLGS/Platform class to the plaform
specific part. This enables us to remove LLGS code, which was attempting to manage the
m_spawned_pids contents, but at the same time making sure, there is only one debugged process. If
we ever want to do multi-process debugging, we will probably want to replace this with a set of
NativeProcessProtocolSP anyway. The only functional change is that support for
qKillSpawnedProcess packet is removed from LLGS, but this was not used there anyway (we have the
k packet for that).

Summary:
Handle_k was printing an error when killing a process because KillSpawnedProcess was expecting to
be asynchronously notified of the process death, which no longer works, since we don't wait for
the process on a separate thread. However, the whole usage of KillSpawnedProcess is dubious here,
since it tries to be nice and terminate the process first with SIGTERM, which will not have the
intended effect on a ptraced process. I replace this code with a call to
NativeProcessProtocol::Kill, which does not suffer from these problems.

This commit integrates MainLoop into NativeProcessLinux. By registering a SIGCHLD handler with
the llgs main loop, we can get rid of the special monitor thread in NPL, which saves as a lot of

reduced by about 40%). It also makes the code simpler, IMHO.

This is a resubmission of r242305 after it was reverted due to bad interactions with the stdio

llvm-svn: 242783
Summary:
This commit removes the stdio forwarding thread in lldb-server in favor of a MainLoop callback.
As in some situations we need to forcibly flush the stream ( => Read() is called from multiple
places) and we still have multiple threads, I have had to additionally protect the communication
instance with a mutex.

Summary:
It seems that reading of register data is the biggest bottleneck in LLGS at the moment. Sending
four registers instead of the full GPR set increases the jThreadsInfo processing time about
6-fold. Until we figure out where is this time going, this commit limits the amount of data we
send to provide a more fluid debugging experience.

Summary:
This is the first part of our effort to make llgs single threaded. Currently, llgs consists of
about three threads and the synchronisation between them is a major source of latency when
debugging linux and android applications.
In order to be able to go single threaded, we must have the ability to listen for events from
multiple sources (primarily, client commands coming over the network and debug events from the
inferior) and perform necessary actions. For this reason I introduce the concept of a MainLoop.
A main loop has the ability to register callback's which will be invoked upon receipt of certain
events. MainLoopPosix has the ability to listen for file descriptors and signals.
For the moment, I have merely made the GDBRemoteCommunicationServerLLGS class use MainLoop
instead of waiting on the network socket directly, but the other threads still remain. In the
followup patches I indend to migrate NativeProcessLinux to this class and remove the remaining
threads.

Summary:
This commit avoids the Platform instance when spawning or attaching to a process in lldb-server.
Instead, I have the server call a (static) method of NativeProcessProtocol directly. The reason
for this is that I believe that NativeProcessProtocol should be decoupled from the Platform
(after all, it always knows which platform it is running on, unlike the rest of lldb).
Additionally, the kind of platform actions a NativeProcessProtocol instance is likely to differ
greatly from the platform actions of the lldb client, so I think the separation makes sense.
After this, the only dependency NativeProcessLinux has on PlatformLinux is the ResolveExecutable
method, which needs additional refactoring.
This is a resubmit of r241672, after it was reverted due to build failueres on non-linux
platforms.

Typically, LLGS only sends stdout/stderr notifications when the inferior
process is running.
Because LLGS reads stdout from the process in a separate thread, sometimes
these stdout notifications can be received after the server has sent a thread
stop message. The host isn't expecting stdout to be generated by the target
after a stop message and these messages interfere with the host's request/
response paradigm.

Previously the remote module sepcification was fetched only from the
remote platform. With this CL if we have a remote process then we ask it
if it have any information from a given module. It is required because
on android the dynamic linker only reports the name of the SO file and
the platform can't always find it without a full path (the process can
do it based on /proc/<pid>/maps).
