:q!
This diff is massive, but it's because it connects the client with lldb-server
and also ensures that the postmortem case works.
- Flatten the postmortem trace schema. The reason is that the schema has become quite complex due to the new multicore case, which defeats the original purpose of having a schema that could work for every trace plug-in. At this point, it's better that each trace plug-in defines it's own full schema. This means that the only common field is "type".
-- Because of this new approach, I merged the "common" trace load and saving functionalities into the IntelPT one. This simplified the code quite a bit. If we eventually implement another trace plug-in, we can see then what we could reuse.
-- The new schema, which is flattened, has now better comments and is parsed better. A change I did was to disallow hex addresses, because they are a bit error prone. I'm asking now to print the address in decimal.
-- Renamed "intel" to "GenuineIntel" in the schema because that's what you see in /proc/cpuinfo.
- Implemented reading the context switch trace data buffer. I had to do
some refactors to do that cleanly.
-- A major change that I did here was to simplify the perf_event circular buffer reading logic. It was too complex. Maybe the original Intel author had something different in mind.
- Implemented all the necessary bits to read trace.json files with per-core data.
- Implemented all the necessary bits to save to disk per-core trace session.
- Added a test that ensures that parsing and saving to disk works.

Update the response schema of the TraceGetState packet and add
Intel PT specific response structure that contains the TSC conversion,
if it exists. The IntelPTCollector loads the TSC conversion and caches
it to prevent unnecessary calls to perf_event_open. Move the TSC conversion
calculation from Perf.h to TraceIntelPTGDBRemotePackets.h to remove
dependency on Linux specific headers.
