The details are: large packets (like large memory reads (m packets) or large binary memory reads (x packet)) can get responses that come in across multiple read() calls. The while loop that was added meant that if only a partial packet came in (like only "$abc" coming for a response) GDBRemoteCommunication::CheckForPacket() was called, it would deadlock in the while loop because no more data is going to come in as this function needs to be called again with more data from another read. So the original fix will need to be corrected and resubmitted.

As part of getting ConnectionFileDescriptor working on Windows,
there is going to be alot of platform specific work to be done.
As a result, the implementation is moving into Host. This patch
performs the code move and fixes up call-sites appropriately.

This patch moves creates a thread abstraction that represents a
thread running inside the LLDB process. This is a replacement for
otherwise using lldb::thread_t, and provides a platform agnostic
interface to managing these threads.

This patch accepts environment variables of the form:
LLDB_DEBUGSERVER_EXTRA_ARG_n
where n starts with 1, and may continue nearly indefinitely (up through std::numeric_limits<uint32_t>::max()).
The code loops around, starting with 1, until it doesn't find one of the environment variables. For each one it does find defined, it appends the environment variable's contents to the end of the debugserver/llgs startup command line issued when the stub is started for local debugging.
I am using this to add arbitrary startup commands to the llgs command line for turning on additional logging. For example:
export LLDB_DEBUGSERVER_EXTRA_ARG_1="-c"
export LLDB_DEBUGSERVER_EXTRA_ARG_2="log enable -f /tmp/llgs_packets.log gdb-remote packets"
export LLDB_DEBUGSERVER_EXTRA_ARG_3="-c"
export LLDB_DEBUGSERVER_EXTRA_ARG_4="log enable -f /tmp/llgs_process.log lldb process"

More specifically, this change can be summarized as follows:
1) Makes an lldbHostPosix library which contains code common to
all posix platforms.
2) Creates Host/FileSystem.h which defines a common FileSystem
interface.
3) Implements FileSystem.h in Host/windows and Host/posix.
4) Creates Host/FileCache.h, implemented in Host/common, which
defines a class useful for storing handles to open files needed
by the debugger.

This patch moves the logic of many common socket operations into
its own class lldb_private::Socket. It then modifies the
ConnectionFileDescriptor class, and a few users of that class,
to use this new Socket class instead of hardcoding socket logic
directly.
Finally, this patch creates a common interface called IOObject for
any objects that support reading and writing, so that endpoints
such as sockets and files can be treated the same.

This change enables lldb-platform for Linux. In addition, it does the following:
* fixes Host::GetLLDBPath() to work on Linux/*BSD for ePathTypeSupportExecutableDir-relative paths.
* adds more logging and comments around lldb-platform startup and remote lldb-platform usage.
* refactors lldb-platform remote-* support for Darwin and Linux into PlatformPOSIX. This, in theory, is the bulk of what is needed for *BSD to make remote connections to lldb-platform as well (although I haven't tested that yet). FreeBSD can make similar changes to their Platform* as was made here for PlatformLinux to pick up the rest of the bits.
* teaches GDBRemoteCommunication to use lldb-gdbserver for non-Apple hosts.

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>
llvm-svn: 196547
This helps ensure that the launched debugserver is ready and listening for a connection. Prior to this we had a race condition.
Consolidate the launching of debugserver into a single place: a static function in GDBRemoteCommunication.

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.

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.)

Fixed a case where multiple threads can be asking to send a packet to the GDB server and one of three things will happen:
1 - everything works
2 - one thread will fail to send the packet due to not being able to get the sequence mutex
3 - one thread will try and interrupt the other packet sending and fail and not send the packet
Now the flow is a bit different. Prior to this fix we did:
if (try_get_sequence_mutex()) {
send_packet()
return success;
} else {
if (async_ok) {
interrupt()
send_packet()
resume()
return success;
}
}
return fail
The issue is that the call to "try_get_sequence_mutex()" could fail if another thread was sending a packet and could cause us to just not send the packet and an error would be returned.
What we really want is to try and get the sequence mutex, and if this succeeds, send the packet. Else check if we are running and if we are, do what we used to do. The big difference is when we aren't running, we wait for the sequence mutex so we don't drop packets. Pseudo code is:
if (try_get_sequence_mutex()) {
// Safe to send the packet right away
send_packet()
return success;
} else {
if (running) {
// We are running, interrupt and send async packet if ok to do so,
// else it is ok to fail
if (async_ok) {
interrupt()
send_packet()
resume()
return success;
}
}
else {
// Not running, wait for the sequence mutex so we don't drop packets
get_sequence_mutex()
send_packet()
return success;
}
}
return fail

No one was using it and Locker(pthread_mutex_t *) immediately asserts for
pthread_mutex_t's that don't come from a Mutex anyway. Rather than try to make
that work, we should maintain the Mutex abstraction and not pass around the
platform implementation...
Make Mutex::Locker::Lock take a Mutex & or a Mutex *, and remove the constructor
taking a pthread_mutex_t *. You no longer need to call Mutex::GetMutex to pass
your mutex to a Locker (you can't in fact, since I made it private.)

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.
