Summary:
This patch is the beginnings of support for Non-stop mode in the remote protocol. Letting a user examine stopped threads, while other threads execute freely.
Non-stop mode is enabled using the setting target.non-stop-mode, which sends a QNonStop packet when establishing the remote connection.
Changes are also made to treat the '?' stop reply packet differently in non-stop mode, according to spec https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Remote-Non_002dStop.html#Remote-Non_002dStop.
A setting for querying the remote for default thread on setup is also included.
Handling of '%' async notification packets will be added next.

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).

Processes running on a remote target can already send $O messages
to send stdout but there is no way to send stdin to a remote
inferior.
This allows processes using the API to pump stdin into a remote
inferior process.
It fixes a hang in TestProcessIO.py when running against a remote
target.

lldb support. I'll be doing more testing & cleanup but I wanted to
get the initial checkin done.
This adds a new SBExpressionOptions::SetLanguage API for selecting a
language of an expression.
I added adds a new SBThread::GetInfoItemByPathString for retriving
information about a thread from that thread's StructuredData.
I added a new StructuredData class for representing
key-value/array/dictionary information (e.g. JSON formatted data).
Helper functions to read JSON and create a StructuredData object,
and to print a StructuredData object in JSON format are included.
A few Cocoa / Cocoa Touch data formatters were updated by Enrico
to track changes in iOS 8 / Yosemite.
Before we query a thread's extended information, the system runtime may
provide hints to the remote debug stub that it will use to retrieve values
out of runtime structures. I added a new SystemRuntime method
AddThreadExtendedInfoPacketHints which allows the SystemRuntime to add
key-value type data to the initial request that we send to the remote stub.
The thread-format formatter string can now retrieve values out of a thread's
extended info structured data. The default thread-format string picks up
two of these - thread.info.activity.name and thread.info.trace_messages.
I added a new "jThreadExtendedInfo" packet in debugserver; I will
add documentation to the lldb-gdb-remote.txt doc soon. It accepts
JSON formatted arguments (most importantly, "thread":threadnum) and
it returns a variety of information regarding the thread to lldb
in JSON format. This JSON return is scanned into a StructuredData
object that is associated with the thread; UI layers can query the
thread's StructuredData to see if key-values are present, and if
so, show them to the user. These key-values are likely to be
specific to different targets with some commonality among many
targets. For instance, many targets will be able to advertise the
pthread_t value for a thread.
I added an initial rough cut of "thread info" command which will print
the information about a thread from the jThreadExtendedInfo result.
I need to do more work to make this format reasonably.
Han Ming added calls into the pmenergy and pmsample libraries if
debugserver is run on Mac OS X Yosemite to get information about the
inferior's power use.
I added support to debugserver for gathering the Genealogy information
about threads, if it exists, and returning it in the jThreadExtendedInfo
JSON result.
llvm-svn: 210874
$qC from debugserver now returns the current thread's thread-id (and, like $?, will set a current thread if one is not already selected). Previously it was returning the current process id.
lldb will now query $qProcessInfo to retrieve the process id. The process id is now cached lazily and reset like other cached values. Retrieval of the process id will fall back to the old $qC method for vendor==Apple and os==iOS if the qProcessInfo retrieval fails.
Added a gdb remote protocol-level test to verify that $qProcessInfo reports a valid process id after launching a process, while the process is in the initial stopped state. Verifies the given process id is a currently valid process on host OSes for which we know how to check (MacOSX, Linux, {Free/Net}BSD). Ignores the live process check for OSes where we don't know how to do this. (I saw no portable way to do this in stock Python without pulling in other libs).

These changes were written by Greg Clayton, Jim Ingham, Jason Molenda.
It builds cleanly against TOT llvm with xcodebuild. I updated the
cmake files by visual inspection but did not try a build. I haven't
built these sources on any non-Mac platforms - I don't think this
patch adds any code that requires darwin, but please let me know if
I missed something.
In debugserver, MachProcess.cpp and MachTask.cpp were renamed to
MachProcess.mm and MachTask.mm as they picked up some new Objective-C
code needed to launch processes when running on iOS.

ProcessGDBRemote::GetAuxvData obtains the auxv from a remote gdbserver (via a binary-data packet), and returns the data as a DataBufferSP.
The patch includes a small fix to GDBRemoteCommunicationClient::SendPacketsAndConcatenateResponses() to support binary file format packet returns (by not assuming each binary packet is a null-terminated string when concatenating them).
llvm-svn: 202907
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
packets if necessary (first use will be to fetch shared-library XML files).

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.
llvm-svn: 196610
Improved the detection of a valid GDB server where we actually can connect to a socket, but then it doesn't read or write anything (which happens with some USB mux software).
Host::MakeDirectory() now can make as many intermediate directories as needed.
The testsuite now has very initial support for remote test suite running. When running on a remote platform, the setUp function for the test will make a new directory and select it as the working directory on the remote host.
Added a common function that can be used to create the short option string for getopt_long calls.
llvm-svn: 195541
Example code:
remote_platform = lldb.SBPlatform("remote-macosx");
remote_platform.SetWorkingDirectory("/private/tmp")
debugger.SetSelectedPlatform(remote_platform)
connect_options = lldb.SBPlatformConnectOptions("connect://localhost:1111");
err = remote_platform.ConnectRemote(connect_options)
if err.Success():
print >> result, 'Connected to remote platform:'
print >> result, 'hostname: %s' % (remote_platform.GetHostname())
src = lldb.SBFileSpec("/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework", False)
dst = lldb.SBFileSpec()
# copy src to platform working directory since "dst" is empty
err = remote_platform.Install(src, dst);
if err.Success():
print >> result, '%s installed successfully' % (src)
else:
print >> result, 'error: failed to install "%s": %s' % (src, err)
Implemented many calls needed in lldb-platform to be able to install a directory that contains symlinks, file and directories.
The remote lldb-platform can now launch GDB servers on the remote system so that remote debugging can be spawned through the remote platform when connected to a remote platform.
The API in SBPlatform is subject to change and will be getting many new functions.
llvm-svn: 195273
Added two new GDB server packets to debugserver: "QSaveRegisterState" and "QRestoreRegiterState".
"QSaveRegisterState" makes the remote GDB server save all register values and it returns a save identifier as an unsigned integer. This packet can be used prior to running expressions to save all registers.
All registers can them we later restored with "QRestoreRegiterState:SAVEID" what SAVEID is the integer identifier that was returned from the call to QSaveRegisterState.
Cleaned up redundant code in lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::ThreadPlanCallFunction.
Moved the lldb_private::Thread::RegisterCheckpoint into its own header file and it is now in the lldb_private namespace. Trimmed down the RegisterCheckpoint class to omit stuff that wasn't used (the stack ID).
Added a few new virtual methods to lldb_private::RegisterContext that allow subclasses to efficiently save/restore register states and changed the RegisterContextGDBRemote to take advantage of these new calls.
llvm-svn: 194621
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.
llvm-svn: 193425
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.
llvm-svn: 192373
by appending the thread ID to the test packet when
debugserver requires it.
This allows register writing (and, by extension,
expressions) to work on Mac OS X.
llvm-svn: 190007
Some stubs only support g/G packets for registers.
This change makes sure that we check if remote stub supports 'p' packet before using it.

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'

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

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.

calling functions. This is necessary on Mac OS X, since bad things can happen if you set
the registers of a thread that's sitting in a kernel trap.

Add default Process::GetWatchpointSupportInfo() impl which returns an error of "not supported".
Add "qWatchpointSupportInfo" packet to the gdb communication layer to support this, and modify TestWatchpointCommands.py to test it.
llvm-svn: 157345
Cleaned up the Mutex::Locker and the ReadWriteLock classes a bit.
Also cleaned up the GDBRemoteCommunication class to not have so many packet functions. Used the "NoLock" versions of send/receive packet functions when possible for a bit of performance.
llvm-svn: 154458
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.
llvm-svn: 154380
spin up a temporary "private state thread" that will respond to events from the lower level process plugins. This check-in should work to do
that, but it is still buggy. However, if you don't call functions on the private state thread, these changes make no difference.
This patch also moves the code in the AppleObjCRuntime step-through-trampoline handler that might call functions (in the case where the debug
server doesn't support the memory allocate/deallocate packet) out to a safe place to do that call.

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.

from a process and hooked it up to the new packet that was recently added
to our GDB remote executable named debugserver. Now Process has the following
new calls:
virtual Error
Process::GetMemoryRegionInfo (lldb::addr_t load_addr, MemoryRegionInfo &range_info);
virtual uint32_t
GetLoadAddressPermissions (lldb::addr_t load_addr);
Only the first one needs to be implemented by subclasses that can add this
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
region for falls into the region that gets returned.
