Added a new key that we understand for the "qHostInfo" packet: "default_packet_timeout:T;" where T is a default packet timeout in seconds.
This allows GDB servers with known slow packet response times to increase the default timeout to a value that makes sense for the connection.

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.

Fixed an issue where environment variables that contained special characters '$' and '#' would hose up the GDB server packet. We now use the QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet that has existed for a long time when we need to. Also added code that will stop sending the QEnvironmentHexEncoded and QEnvironment packets if they aren't supported.

Summary:
This merge brings in the improved 'platform' command that knows how to
interface with remote machines; that is, query OS/kernel information, push
and pull files, run shell commands, etc... and implementation for the new
communication packets that back that interface, at least on Darwin based
operating systems via the POSIXPlatform class. Linux support is coming soon.
Verified the test suite runs cleanly on Linux (x86_64), build OK on Mac OS
X Mountain Lion.
Additional improvements (not in the source SVN branch 'lldb-platform-work'):
- cmake build scripts for lldb-platform
- cleanup test suite
- documentation stub for qPlatform_RunCommand
- use log class instead of printf() directly
- reverted work-in-progress-looking changes from test/types/TestAbstract.py that work towards running the test suite remotely.
- add new logging category 'platform'

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.

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.

Fixed an issue where GDB servers that don't support the thread suffix could get registers states incorrectly due to an incorrect assumption that the current register thread (set using the "Hg%x" packet) will always be cached between runs.

Used this to switch the LLDB_CONFIGURATION_DEBUG enabled assert when we can't get the
gdb-remote sequence mutex to assert when the thread that had the mutex releases it. This
is generally more useful information than saying just who failed to get it (since the
code that had it locked often had released it by the time the assert fired.)

Sending async packets can deadlock a program on darwin. We currently allow breakpoint packets and memory read/write packets (for software breakpoints) to be sent while a program is running. In the GDB remote plug-in, we will interrupt the run, send the async packet and resume (currently with the continue packet that caused the program to resume). If the GDB server supports the "vCont" packet, we might have initially continued with each thread stating it should continue. If new threads show up while we are stopped, which happend when running GCD, we can end up with new threads that we aren't mentioning in the continue list. So we start with a thread list of 1,2,3 and continue:
continue thread 1, continue thread 2, continue thread 3
Now we interrupt and set a breakpoint and we actually have threads 1,2,3,4 now when we are about to resume, yet we send:
continue thread 1, continue thread 2, continue thread 3
Any thread that isn't mentioned is currently going to stay suspended. This causes the deadlock.

QListThreadsInStopReply
This GDB remote query command can enable added a "threads" key/value pair to all stop reply packets so that we always get a list of all threads in each stop reply packet. It increases performance if enabled (the reply to the "QListThreadsInStopReply" is "OK") by saving us from sending to command/reply pairs (the "qfThreadInfo" and "qsThreadInfo" packets), and also helps us keep the current process state up to date.

The current ProcessGDBRemote function that updates the threads could end up with an empty list if any other thread had the sequence mutex. We now don't clear the thread list when we can't access it, and we also have changed how lldb_private::Process handles the return code from the:
virtual bool
Process::UpdateThreadList (lldb_private::ThreadList &old_thread_list,
lldb_private::ThreadList &new_thread_list) = 0;
A bool is now returned to indicate if the list was actually updated or not and the lldb_private::Process class will only update the stop ID of the validity of the thread list if "true" is returned.
The ProcessGDBRemote also got an extra assertion that will hopefully assert when running debug builds so we can find the source of this issue.

<rdar://problem/11051056>
Found a race condition when sending async packets in the ProcessGDBRemote.
A little background: GDB remote clients can only send one packet at a time. You must send a packet and wait for a response. So when we continue, we obviously can't hold up the calling thread waiting for the process to stop again, so we have an async thread in the ProcessGDBRemote whose only job is to run packets that control the inferior process. When you send a continue packet, the only packet you can send is an interrupt packet (which consists of sending a CTRL+C (or a '\x03' byte)). This then stops the inferior and we can send the async packet, and then resume the target. There was a race condition that often happened during stepping where we are doing a source level single step which consists of many instruction steps and a few runs here and there when we step into a function. So the flow looks like:
inst single step
inst single step
inst single step
inst single step
inst single step
step BP and run
inst single step
inst single step
inst single step
Now if we got an async packet while the program is running we get something like:
send --> continue
send --> interrupt
recv <-- interrupt stop reply packet
send --> async packet
recv <-- async response
send --> continue again and wait for actual stop
Problems arise when this was happening when single stepping a thread where we would get:
send --> step thread 123
send --> interrupt
send --> stop reply for thread 123 (from the step)
Now we _might_ have an extra stop reply packet from the "interrupt" which we weren't checking for and we could end up with:
send --> async packet (like memory read!)
recv <-- async response (which is the interrupt stop reply packet)
Now we have the read memroy reply sitting in our buffer and waiting to be used as the reply for the next packet...
To further complicate things, the single step should have exited the async thread since the run control is finished, but now it will continue if it was interrupted.
The fixes I checked in to two major things:
- watch for the extra stop reply if we need to
- make sure we exit from the async thread run loop when the previous run control (like the instruction level single step) is finished.
Needless to say this makes very fast stepping in Xcode much more reliable.

if this is a mapped/executable region of memory. If it isn't, we've jumped
through a bad pointer and we know how to unwind the stack correctly based
on the ABI.
Previously I had 0x0 special cased but if you jumped to 0x2 on x86_64 one
frame would be skipped because the unwinder would try using the x86_64
ArchDefaultUnwindPlan which relied on the rbp.

virtual Error
Process::GetMemoryRegionInfo (lldb::addr_t load_addr, MemoryRegionInfo &range_info);
virtual uint32_t

support.
Cleaned up the way the new packet was implemented in debugserver to be more
useful as an API inside debugserver. Also found an error where finding a region
for an address actually will pick up the next region that follows the address
in the query so we also need ot make sure that the address we requested the

info for us to attach by pid, or by name and will also allow us to eventually
do a lot more powerful attaches. If you look at the options for the "platform
process list" command, there are many options which we should be able to
specify. This will allow us to do things like "attach to a process named 'tcsh'
that has a parent process ID of 123", or "attach to a process named 'x' which
has an effective user ID of 345".
I finished up the --shell implementation so that it can be used without the
--tty option in "process launch". The "--shell" option now can take an
optional argument which is the path to the shell to use (or a partial name
like "sh" which we will find using the current PATH environment variable).
Modified the Process::Attach to use the new ProcessAttachInfo as the sole
argument and centralized a lot of code that was in the "process attach"
Execute function so that everyone can take advantage of the powerful new
attach functionality.
