qEcho:%s
where '%s' is any valid string. The response to this packet is the exact packet itself with no changes, just reply with what you received!
This will help us to recover from packets timing out much more gracefully. Currently if a packet times out, LLDB quickly will hose up the debug session. For example, if we send a "abc" packet and we expect "ABC" back in response, but the "abc" command takes longer than the current timeout value this will happen:
--> "abc"
<-- <<<error: timeout>>>
Now we want to send "def" and get "DEF" back:
--> "def"
<-- "ABC"
We got the wrong response for the "def" packet because we didn't sync up with the server to clear any current responses from previously issues commands.
The fix is to modify GDBRemoteCommunication::WaitForPacketWithTimeoutMicroSecondsNoLock() so that when it gets a timeout, it syncs itself up with the client by sending a "qEcho:%u" where %u is an increasing integer, one for each time we timeout. We then wait for 3 timeout periods to sync back up. So the above "abc" session would look like:
--> "abc"
<-- <<<error: timeout>>> 1 second
--> "qEcho:1"
<-- <<<error: timeout>>> 1 second
<-- <<<error: timeout>>> 1 second
<-- "abc"
<-- "qEcho:1"
The first timeout is from trying to get the response, then we know we timed out and we send the "qEcho:1" packet and wait for 3 timeout periods to get back in sync knowing that we might actually get the response for the "abc" packet in the mean time...
In this case we would actually succeed in getting the response for "abc". But lets say the remote GDB server is deadlocked and will never response, it would look like:
--> "abc"
<-- <<<error: timeout>>> 1 second
--> "qEcho:1"
<-- <<<error: timeout>>> 1 second
<-- <<<error: timeout>>> 1 second
<-- <<<error: timeout>>> 1 second
We then disconnect and say we lost connection.
We might also have a bad GDB server that just dropped the "abc" packet on the floor. We can still recover in this case and it would look like:
--> "abc"
<-- <<<error: timeout>>> 1 second
--> "qEcho:1"
<-- "qEcho:1"
Then we know our remote GDB server is still alive and well, and it just dropped the "abc" response on the floor and we can continue to debug.

In ProcessGDBRemote we currently have a single packet, m_last_stop_packet, used to set the thread stop info.
However in non-stop mode we can receive several stop reply packets in a sequence for different threads. As a result we need to use a container to hold them before they are processed.
This patch also changes the return type of CheckPacket() so we can detect async notification packets.

There are a couple of pieces:
* some lazy-evaluation members that store info listed in a qSupported response
* new method SendPacketsAndConcatenateResponses which is used for
fetching fixed-size objects from the remote gdbserver by using multiple

While investigating test suite failures when running the test suite remotely, I noticed we had 3 copies of code that launched a process:
1 - in "process launch" command
2 - SBTarget::Launch() with args
3 - SBTarget::Launch() with SBLaunchInfo
"process launch" was launching through the platform if it was supported (this is needed for remote debugging) and the 2 and 3 were not.
Now all code is in one place.

Due to other recent changes, all connections to GDB servers that didn't support the "QStartNoAckMode" packet would cause us to fail to attach to the remote GDB server.
The problem was that SendPacket* and WaitForResponse* packets would return a size_t indicating the number of bytes sent/received. The other issue was WaitForResponse* packets would strip the leading '$' and the trailing "#CC" (checksum) bytes, so the unimplemented response packet of "$#00" would get stripped and the WaitForResponse* packets would return 0.
These new error codes give us flexibility to to more intelligent things in response to what is returned.

This gets rid of our hacky "get_random_port()" which would grab a random port and tell debugserver to open that port. Now LLDB creates, binds, listens and accepts a connection by binding to port zero and sending the correctly bound port down as the host:port to connect back to.
Fixed the "ConnectionFileDescriptor" to be able to correctly listen for connections from a specified host, localhost, or any host. Prior to this fix "listen://" only accepted the following format:
listen://<port>
But now it can accept:
listen://<port> // Listen for connection from localhost on port <port>
listen://<host>:<port> // Listen for connection from <host> and <port>
listen://*:<port> // Listen for connection from any host on port <port>

This helps ensure that the launched debugserver is ready and listening for a connection. Prior to this we had a race condition.

than being given the pthread_mutex_t from the Mutex and locks that. That allows us to
track ownership of the Mutex better.
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.)

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.

the CommandInterpreter where it was always being used.
Make sure that Modules can track their object file offsets correctly to
allow opening of sub object files (like the "__commpage" on darwin).
Modified the Platforms to be able to launch processes. The first part of this
move is the platform soon will become the entity that launches your program
and when it does, it uses a new ProcessLaunchInfo class which encapsulates
all process launching settings. This simplifies the internal APIs needed for
launching. I want to slowly phase out process launching from the process
classes, so for now we can still launch just as we used to, but eventually
the platform is the object that should do the launching.
Modified the Host::LaunchProcess in the MacOSX Host.mm to correctly be able
to launch processes with all of the new eLaunchFlag settings. Modified any
code that was manually launching processes to use the Host::LaunchProcess
functions.
Fixed an issue where lldb_private::Args had implicitly defined copy
constructors that could do the wrong thing. This has now been fixed by adding
an appropriate copy constructor and assignment operator.
Make sure we don't add empty ModuleSP entries to a module list.
Fixed the commpage module creation on MacOSX, but we still need to train
the MacOSX dynamic loader to not get rid of it when it doesn't have an entry
in the all image infos.
Abstracted many more calls from in ProcessGDBRemote down into the
GDBRemoteCommunicationClient subclass to make the classes cleaner and more
efficient.
Fixed the default iOS ARM register context to be correct and also added support
for targets that don't support the qThreadStopInfo packet by selecting the
current thread (only if needed) and then sending a stop reply packet.
Debugserver can now start up with a --unix-socket (-u for short) and can
then bind to port zero and send the port it bound to to a listening process
on the other end. This allows the GDB remote platform to spawn new GDB server
instances (debugserver) to allow platform debugging.

class now implements the Host functionality for a lot of things that make
sense by default so that subclasses can check:
int
PlatformSubclass::Foo ()
{
if (IsHost())
return Platform::Foo (); // Let the platform base class do the host specific stuff
// Platform subclass specific code...
int result = ...
return result;
}
Added new functions to the platform:
virtual const char *Platform::GetUserName (uint32_t uid);
virtual const char *Platform::GetGroupName (uint32_t gid);
The user and group names are cached locally so that remote platforms can avoid
sending packets multiple times to resolve this information.
Added the parent process ID to the ProcessInfo class.
Added a new ProcessInfoMatch class which helps us to match processes up
and changed the Host layer over to using this new class. The new class allows
us to search for processs:
1 - by name (equal to, starts with, ends with, contains, and regex)
2 - by pid
3 - And further check for parent pid == value, uid == value, gid == value,
euid == value, egid == value, arch == value, parent == value.
This is all hookup up to the "platform process list" command which required
adding dumping routines to dump process information. If the Host class
implements the process lookup routines, you can now lists processes on
your local machine:
machine1.foo.com % lldb
(lldb) platform process list

The lldb-platform implements everything with the Host:: layer, so this should
"just work" for linux. I will probably be adding more stuff to the Host layer
for launching processes and attaching to processes so that this support should
eventually just work as well.
Modified the target to be able to be created with an architecture that differs
from the main executable. This is needed for iOS debugging since we can have
an "armv6" binary which can run on an "armv7" machine, so we want to be able
to do:
% lldb
(lldb) platform create remote-ios
(lldb) file --arch armv7 a.out
Where "a.out" is an armv6 executable. The platform then can correctly decide
to open all "armv7" images for all dependent shared libraries.
Modified the disassembly to show the current PC value. Example output:
(lldb) disassemble --frame
a.out`main:
0x1eb7: pushl %ebp
0x1eb8: movl %esp, %ebp
0x1eba: pushl %ebx
0x1ebb: subl $20, %esp
0x1ebe: calll 0x1ec3 ; main + 12 at test.c:18
0x1ec3: popl %ebx
-> 0x1ec4: calll 0x1f12 ; getpid
0x1ec9: movl %eax, 4(%esp)
0x1ecd: leal 199(%ebx), %eax
0x1ed3: movl %eax, (%esp)
0x1ed6: calll 0x1f18 ; printf
0x1edb: leal 213(%ebx), %eax
0x1ee1: movl %eax, (%esp)
0x1ee4: calll 0x1f1e ; puts
0x1ee9: calll 0x1f0c ; getchar
0x1eee: movl $20, (%esp)
0x1ef5: calll 0x1e6a ; sleep_loop at test.c:6
0x1efa: movl $12, %eax
0x1eff: addl $20, %esp
0x1f02: popl %ebx
0x1f03: leave
0x1f04: ret
This can be handy when dealing with the new --line options that was recently
added:
(lldb) disassemble --line
a.out`main + 13 at test.c:19
18 {
-> 19 printf("Process: %i\n\n", getpid());
20 puts("Press any key to continue..."); getchar();
-> 0x1ec4: calll 0x1f12 ; getpid
0x1ec9: movl %eax, 4(%esp)
0x1ecd: leal 199(%ebx), %eax
0x1ed3: movl %eax, (%esp)
0x1ed6: calll 0x1f18 ; printf
Modified the ModuleList to have a lookup based solely on a UUID. Since the
UUID is typically the MD5 checksum of a binary image, there is no need
to give the path and architecture when searching for a pre-existing
image in an image list.
Now that we support remote debugging a bit better, our lldb_private::Module
needs to be able to track what the original path for file was as the platform
knows it, as well as where the file is locally. The module has the two
following functions to retrieve both paths:
const FileSpec &Module::GetFileSpec () const;
const FileSpec &Module::GetPlatformFileSpec () const;

On Mac OS X we now have 3 platforms:
PlatformDarwin - must be subclassed to fill in the missing pure virtual funcs
but this implements all the common functionality between
remote-macosx and remote-ios. It also allows for another
platform to be used (remote-gdb-server for now) when doing
remote connections. Keeping this pluggable will allow for
flexibility.
PlatformMacOSX - Now implements both local and remote macosx desktop platforms.
PlatformRemoteiOS - Remote only iOS that knows how to locate SDK files in the
cached SDK locations on the host.
A new agnostic platform has been created:
PlatformRemoteGDBServer - this implements the platform using the GDB remote
protocol and uses the built in lldb_private::Host
static functions to implement many queries.

GDBRemoteCommunication - The base GDB remote communication class
GDBRemoteCommunicationClient - designed to be used for clients the connect to

GDBRemoteCommunicationServer - designed to be used on the server side of a
GDB server implementation.

member variable (m_packet_timeout which is a value in seconds). This value is
then used for all packets sent to/from the remote GDB server.
llvm-svn: 127392
Modifed lldb_private::Process to be able to handle connecting to a remote
target that isn't running a process. This leaves lldb_private::Process in the
eStateConnected state from which we can then do an attach or launch.
Modified ProcessGDBRemote to be able to set stdin, stdout, stderr, working
dir, disable ASLR and a few other settings down by using new GDB remote
packets. This allows us to keep all of our current launch flags and settings
intact and still be able to communicate them over to the remote GDB server.
Previously these were being sent as arguments to the debugserver binary that
we were spawning. Also modified ProcessGDBRemote to handle losing connection
to the remote GDB server and always exit immediately. We do this by watching
the lldb_private::Communication event bit for the read thread exiting in the
ProcessGDBRemote async thread.
Added support for many of the new 'Q' packets for setting stdin, stdout,
stderr, working dir and disable ASLR to the GDBRemoteCommunication class for
easy accesss.
Modified debugserver for all of the new 'Q' packets and also made it so that
debugserver always exists if it loses connection with the remote debugger.
llvm-svn: 126444
are supported by the remote GDB target. We can also now deal with the lack of
vCont support and send packets that the remote GDB stub can use. We also error
out of the continue if LLDB tries to do something too complex when vCont isn't
supported.

checking the validity of the shared pointer prior to using it.
Fixed the GDB remote plug-in to once again watch for a reply from the "k"
packet, and fixed the logic to make sure the thread requesting the kill
and the async thread play nice (and very quickly) by synchronizing the
packet sending and reply. I also tweaked some of the shut down packet
("k" kill, "D" detach, and the halt packet) to make sure they do the right
thing.
Fixed "StateType Process::WaitForProcessStopPrivate (...)" to correctly pass
the timeout along to WaitForStateChangedEventsPrivate() and made the function
behave correctly with respect to timing out.
Added separate STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR support to debugserver. Also added
the start of being able to set the working directory for the inferior process.
llvm-svn: 124049
threads that we spawn let us know when they are going away and that we
don't timeout waiting for a message from threads that have gone away.
We also now don't expect the "k" packet (kill) to send a response. This
greatly speeds up debugger shutdown performance. The test suite now runs
quite a bit faster.
Added a fix to the variable display code that fixes the display of
base classes. We were assuming the virtual or normal base class offsets
were being given in bit sizes, but they were being given as character
sizes, so we needed to multiply the offset by 8. This wasn't affecting
the expression parser, but it was affecting the correct display of C++
class base classes and all of their children.
llvm-svn: 124024
while the inferior is running) to be fast. The previous code would always
cause the sender to timeout, yet still return success due to the way we
were waiting for a value (incorrect value) to change. Now the ProcessGDBRemote
plug-in has a public and private "is running" predicate. This allows things
that need to send async packets to interrupt and wait for the private "is running"
state to be flipped to false, and then resume quickly with no timeout.
llvm-svn: 123903
I added support for asking if the GDB remote server supports thread suffixes
for packets that should be thread specific (register read/write packets) because
the way the GDB remote protocol does it right now is to have a notion of a
current thread for register and memory reads/writes (set via the "$Hg%x" packet)
and a current thread for running ("$Hc%x"). Now we ask the remote GDB server
if it supports adding the thread ID to the register packets and we enable
that feature in LLDB if supported. This stops us from having to send a bunch
of packets that update the current thread ID to some value which is prone to
error, or extra packets.
llvm-svn: 123762
an error saying the resume timed out. Previously the thread that was trying
to resume the process would eventually call ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() which
would broadcast an event over to the async GDB remote thread which would sent the
continue packet to the remote gdb server. Right after this was sent, it would
set a predicate boolean value (protected by a mutex and condition) and then the
thread that issued the ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() would then wait for that
condition variable to be set. If the async gdb thread was too quick though, the
predicate boolean value could have been set to true and back to false by the
time the thread that issued the ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() checks the boolean
value. So we can't use the predicate value as a handshake. I have changed the code
over to using a Event by having the GDB remote communication object post an
event:
GDBRemoteCommunication::eBroadcastBitRunPacketSent
This allows reliable handshaking between the two threads and avoids the erroneous
ProcessGDBRemote::DoResume() errors.
Added a host backtrace service to allow in process backtraces when trying to track
down tricky issues. I need to see if LLVM has any backtracing abilities abstracted
in it already, and if so, use that, but I needed something ASAP for the current issue
I was working on. The static function is:
void
Host::Backtrace (Stream &strm, uint32_t max_frames);
And it will backtrace at most "max_frames" frames for the current thread and can be
used with any of the Stream subclasses for logging.
