The current design allows that the object file contents could be mapped
by one object file plugin and then used by another. Presumably the idea
here was to avoid mapping the same file twice.
This becomes an issue when one object file plugin wants to map the file
differently from the others. For example, ObjectFileELF needs to map its
memory as writable while others likeObjectFileMachO needs it to be
mapped read-only.
This patch prevents plugins from changing the buffer by passing them is
by value rather than by reference.

Symbol table parsing has evolved over the years and many plug-ins contained duplicate code in the ObjectFile::GetSymtab() that used to be pure virtual. With this change, the "Symbtab *ObjectFile::GetSymtab()" is no longer virtual and will end up calling a new "void ObjectFile::ParseSymtab(Symtab &symtab)" pure virtual function to actually do the parsing. This helps centralize the code for parsing the symbol table and allows the ObjectFile base class to do all of the common work, like taking the necessary locks and creating the symbol table object itself. Plug-ins now just need to parse when they are asked to parse as the ParseSymtab function will only get called once.
This is a retry of the original patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D113965 which was reverted. There was a deadlock in the Manual DWARF indexing code during symbol preloading where the module was asked on the main thread to preload its symbols, and this would in turn cause the DWARF manual indexing to use a thread pool to index all of the compile units, and if there were relocations on the debug information sections, these threads could ask the ObjectFile to load section contents, which could cause a call to ObjectFileELF::RelocateSection() which would ask for the symbol table from the module and it would deadlock. We can't lock the module in ObjectFile::GetSymtab(), so the solution I am using is to use a llvm::once_flag to create the symbol table object once and then lock the Symtab object. Since all APIs on the symbol table use this lock, this will prevent anyone from using the symbol table before it is parsed and finalized and will avoid the deadlock I mentioned. ObjectFileELF::GetSymtab() was never locking the module lock before and would put off creating the symbol table until somewhere inside ObjectFileELF::GetSymtab(). Now we create it one time inside of the ObjectFile::GetSymtab() and immediately lock it which should be safe enough. This avoids the deadlocks and still provides safety.

This patch deals with ObjectFile, ObjectContainer and OperatingSystem
plugins. I'll convert the other types in separate patches.
In order to enable piecemeal conversion, I am leaving some ConstStrings
in the lowest PluginManager layers. I'll convert those as the last step.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D112061
There is no reason why this function should be returning a ConstString.
While modifying these files, I also fixed several instances where
GetPluginName and GetPluginNameStatic were returning different strings.
I am not changing the return type of GetPluginNameStatic in this patch, as that
would necessitate additional changes, and this patch is big enough as it is.

LLDB has a few different styles of header guards and they're not very
consistent because things get moved around or copy/pasted. This patch

Summary:
The contents of the gnu_debuglink section were passed through the
GetDebugSymbolFilePaths interface, which was more generic than needed.
As the only class implementing this function is ObjectFileELF, we can
modify the function to return just a single FileSpec (instead of a
list). Also, since the SymbolVendorELF already assumes ELF object files,
we don't have to make this method available on the generic ObjectFile
interface -- instead we can put it on ObjectFileELF directly.
This change also makes is so that if the Module has an explicit symbol
file spec set, we disregard the value the value of the debug link
(instead of doing a secondary lookup using that). I think it makes sense
to honor the users wishes if he had explicitly set the symbol file spec,
and this seems to be consistent with what SymbolVendorMacOSX is doing
(SymbolVendorMacOSX.cpp:125).
The main reason for making these changes is to make the treatment of
build-ids and debug links simpler in the follow-up patch.

Summary:
On the heels of D62934, this patch uses the same approach to introduce
llvm RTTI support to the ObjectFile hierarchy. It also replaces the
existing uses of GetPluginName doing run-time type checks with
llvm::dyn_cast and friends.
This formally introduces new dependencies from some other plugins to
ObjectFile plugins. However, I believe this is fine because:
- these dependencies were already kind of there, and the only reason
we could get away with not modeling them explicitly was because the
code was relying on magically knowing what will GetPluginName() return
for a particular kind of object files.
- the dependencies themselves are logical (it makes sense for
SymbolVendorELF to depend on ObjectFileELF), or at least don't
actively get in the way (the JitLoaderGDB->MachO thing).
- they don't introduce any new dependency loops as ObjectFile plugins
don't depend on any other plugins

A lot of comments in LLDB are surrounded by an ASCII line to delimit the
begging and end of the comment.
Its use is not really consistent across the code base, sometimes the
lines are longer, sometimes they are shorter and sometimes they are
omitted. Furthermore, it looks kind of weird with the 80 column limit,
where the comment actually extends past the line, but not by much.
Furthermore, when /// is used for Doxygen comments, it looks
particularly odd. And when // is used, it incorrectly gives the
impression that it's actually a Doxygen comment.
I assume these lines were added to improve distinguishing between
comments and code. However, given that todays editors and IDEs do a
great job at highlighting comments, I think it's worth to drop this for
the sake of consistency. The alternative is fixing all the
inconsistencies, which would create a lot more churn.

instead of returning the UUID through by-ref argument and a boolean
value indicating success, we can just return it directly. Since the UUID
class already has an invalid state, it can be used to denote the failure

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
This centralizes parsing of breakpad records, which was previously
spread out over ObjectFileBreakpad and SymbolFileBreakpad.
For each record type X there is a separate breakpad::XRecord class, and
an associated parse function. The classes just store the information in
the breakpad records in a more accessible form. It is up to the users to
determine what to do with that data.
This separation also made it possible to write some targeted tests for
the parsing code, which was previously unaccessible, so I write a couple
of those too.

This re-commits r348592, which was reverted due to a failing test on
macos.
The issue was that I was passing a null pointer for the
"CreateMemoryInstance" callback when registering ObjectFileBreakpad,
which caused crashes when attemping to load modules from memory. The
correct thing to do is to pass a callback which always returns a null
pointer (as breakpad files are never loaded in inferior memory).
It turns out that there is only one test which exercises this code path,
and it's mac-only, so I've create a new test which should run everywhere
(except windows, as one cannot delete an executable which is being run).
Unfortunately, this test still fails on linux for other reasons, but at
least it gives us something to aim for.
The original commit message was:
This patch adds the scaffolding necessary for lldb to recognise symbol
files generated by breakpad. These (textual) files contain just enough
information to be able to produce a backtrace from a crash
dump. This information includes:
- UUID, architecture and name of the module
- line tables
- list of symbols
- unwind information
A minimal breakpad file could look like this:
MODULE Linux x86_64 0000000024B5D199F0F766FFFFFF5DC30 a.out
INFO CODE_ID 00000000B52499D1F0F766FFFFFF5DC3

Even though this data would normally be considered "symbol" information,
in the current lldb infrastructure it is assumed every SymbolFile object
is backed by an ObjectFile instance. So, in order to better interoperate
with the rest of the code (particularly symbol vendors).
In this patch I just parse the breakpad header, which is enough to
populate the UUID and architecture fields of the ObjectFile interface.
The rough plan for followup patches is to expose the individual parts of
the breakpad file as ObjectFile "sections", which can then be used by
other parts of the codebase (SymbolFileBreakpad ?) to vend the necessary
information.
