Added a new class called DWARFDIE that contains a DWARFCompileUnit and DWARFDebugInfoEntry so that these items always stay together.
There were many places where we just handed out DWARFDebugInfoEntry pointers and then use them with a compile unit that may or may not be the correct one. Clients outside of DWARFCompileUnit and DWARFDebugInfoEntry should all be dealing with DWARFDIE instances instead of playing with DWARFCompileUnit/DWARFDebugInfoEntry pairs manually.
This paves to the way for some modifications that are coming for DWO.

Create a new "lldb_private::CompilerDeclContext" class that will replace all direct uses of "clang::DeclContext" when used in compiler agnostic code, yet still allow for conversion to clang::DeclContext subclasses by clang specific code. This completes the abstraction of type parsing by removing all "clang::" references from the SymbolFileDWARF. The new "lldb_private::CompilerDeclContext" class abstracts decl contexts found in compiler type systems so they can be used in internal API calls. The TypeSystem is required to support CompilerDeclContexts with new pure virtual functions that start with "DeclContext" in the member function names. Converted all code that used lldb_private::ClangNamespaceDecl over to use the new CompilerDeclContext class and removed the ClangNamespaceDecl.cpp and ClangNamespaceDecl.h files.
Removed direct use of clang APIs from SBType and now use the abstract type systems to correctly explore types.
Bulk renames for things that used to return a ClangASTType which is now CompilerType:
"Type::GetClangFullType()" to "Type::GetFullCompilerType()"
"Type::GetClangLayoutType()" to "Type::GetLayoutCompilerType()"
"Type::GetClangForwardType()" to "Type::GetForwardCompilerType()"
"Value::GetClangType()" to "Value::GetCompilerType()"
"Value::SetClangType (const CompilerType &)" to "Value::SetCompilerType (const CompilerType &)"
"ValueObject::GetClangType ()" to "ValueObject::GetCompilerType()"

The POSIX linker generally reports the load bias for the loaded

absolute load address. Example usecases:
* Windows linker uses absolute addresses

For Hexagon we want to be able to call functions during debugging, however currently lldb only supports this when there is JIT support.
Although emulation using IR interpretation is an alternative, it is currently limited in that it can't make function calls.
In this patch we have extended the IR interpreter so that it can execute a function call on the target using register manipulation.
To do this we need to handle the Call IR instruction, passing arguments to a new thread plan and collecting any return values to pass back into the IR interpreter.
The new thread plan is needed to call an alternative ABI interface of "ABI::PerpareTrivialCall()", allowing more detailed information about arguments and return values.

jGetLoadedDynamicLibrariesInfos. This packet is similar to
qXfer:libraries:read except that lldb supplies the number of solibs
that should be reported about, and the start address for the list
of them. At the initial process launch we'll read the full list
of solibs linked by the process -- at this point we could be using
qXfer:libraries:read -- but on subsequence solib-loaded notifications,
we'll be fetching a smaller number of solibs, often only one or two.
A typical Mac/iOS GUI app may have a couple hundred different
solibs loaded - doing all of the loads via memory reads takes
a couple of megabytes of traffic between lldb and debugserver.
Having debugserver summarize the load addresses of all the solibs
and sending it in JSON requires a couple of hundred kilobytes
of traffic. It's a significant performance improvement when
communicating over a slower channel.
This patch leaves all of the logic for loading the libraries
in DynamicLoaderMacOSXDYLD -- it only call over ot ProcesGDBRemote
to get the JSON result.
If the jGetLoadedDynamicLibrariesInfos packet is not implemented,
the normal technique of using memory read packets to get all of
the details from the target will be used.

A few extras were fixed
- Symbol::GetAddress() now returns an Address object, not a reference. There were places where people were accessing the address of a symbol when the symbol's value wasn't an address symbol. On MacOSX, undefined symbols have a value zero and some places where using the symbol's address and getting an absolute address of zero (since an Address object with no section and an m_offset whose value isn't LLDB_INVALID_ADDRESS is considered an absolute address). So fixing this required some changes to make sure people were getting what they expected.
- Since some places want to access the address as a reference, I added a few new functions to symbol:
Address &Symbol::GetAddressRef();
const Address &Symbol::GetAddressRef() const;

Background: dyld binaries often have extra symbols in their symbol table like "malloc" and "free" for the early bringup of dyld and we often don't want to set breakpoints in dynamic linker binaries. We also don't want to call the "malloc" or "free" function in dyld when a user writes an expression like "(void *)malloc(123)" so we need to avoid doing name lookups in dyld. We mark Modules as being dynamic link editors and this helps do correct lookups for breakpoints by name and function lookups.

Summary:
The Android dynamic linker reports only the basename of each SO entry, so for
the above check to be successful, we need to compare it to the basename of the
main executable.
This also has a nasty side-effect when working with older version of
Android (verified on platform version 16), and debugging PIE
executables: the dynamic linker has a bug and reports the load address
of the main executable (which is a shared object, because PIE) to be 0.
We then try to update the list of loaded sections for all shared
objects, including the main executable, and set the load address to 0,
which breaks everything that relies on resolving addresses in the main
executable (breakpoints, stepping, etc). This commit also fixes that broken
behavior when debugging on older Androids. This bug doesn't happen on newer
Android versions (verified for Android L).

This change adds some logging around dynamic loader handling.
It also fixes an issue where the dynamic loader entry breakpoint can end
up being re-inserted, showing the wrong (i.e. software breakpoint) instruction
at the stop location when a backtrace is displayed at program startup.
I discussed with Jim Ingham a few weeks back. Essentially the
one-hit breakpoints need to make it back to public state handling before
the software breakpoint gets cleared. The flow I was hitting was that
the breakpoint would get set, it would get hit, it would get cleared to
step over, then it would get reapplied, when we never wanted it reapplied.
Stops at the beginning of execution would then show backtraces with
software breakpoint instructions in it, erroneously. This change fixes it.
There might be a more elegant way to do this, or a flow change somewhere else
to avoid, but it does fix an issue I experienced in startup breakpoint handling.

symbols correctly. There were a couple of pieces to this.
1) When a breakpoint location finds itself pointing to an Indirect symbol, when the site for it is created
it needs to resolve the symbol and actually set the site at its target.
2) Not all breakpoints want to do this (i.e. a straight address breakpoint should always set itself on the
specified address, so somem machinery was needed to specify that.
3) I added some info to the break list output for indirect symbols so you could see what was happening.
Also I made it clear when we re-route through re-exported symbols.
4) I moved ResolveIndirectFunction from ProcessPosix to Process since it works the exact same way on Mac OS X

call in Process.

To make this work this patch extends LLDB to:
- Explicitly track the link_map address for each module. This is effectively the module handle, not sure why it wasn't already being stored off anywhere. As an extension later, it would be nice if someone were to add support for printing this as part of the modules list.
- Allow reading the per-thread data pointer via ptrace. I have added support for Linux here. I'll be happy to add support for FreeBSD once this is reviewed. OS X does not appear to have __thread variables, so maybe we don't need it there. Windows support should eventually be workable along the same lines.
- Make DWARF expressions track which module they originated from.
- Add support for the DW_OP_GNU_push_tls_address DWARF opcode, as generated by gcc and recent versions of clang. Earlier versions of clang (such as 3.2, which is default on Ubuntu right now) do not generate TLS debug info correctly so can not be supported here.
- Understand the format of the pthread DTV block. This is where it gets tricky. We have three basic options here:
1) Call "dlinfo" or "__tls_get_addr" on the inferior and ask it directly. However this won't work on core dumps, and generally speaking it's not a good idea for the debugger to call functions itself, as it has the potential to not work depending on the state of the target.
2) Use libthread_db. This is what GDB does. However this option requires having a version of libthread_db on the host cross-compiled for each potential target. This places a large burden on the user, and would make it very hard to cross-debug from Windows to Linux, for example. Trying to build a library intended exclusively for one OS on a different one is not pleasant. GDB sidesteps the problem and asks the user to figure it out.
3) Parse the DTV structure ourselves. On initial inspection this seems to be a bad option, as the DTV structure (the format used by the runtime to manage TLS data) is not in fact a kernel data structure, it is implemented entirely in useerland in libc. Therefore the layout of it's fields are version and OS dependent, and are not standardized.
However, it turns out not to be such a problem. All OSes use basically the same algorithm (a per-module lookup table) as detailed in Ulrich Drepper's TLS ELF ABI document, so we can easily write code to decode it ourselves. The only question therefore is the exact field layouts required. Happily, the implementors of libpthread expose the structure of the DTV via metadata exported as symbols from the .so itself, designed exactly for this kind of thing. So this patch simply reads that metadata in, and re-implements libthread_db's algorithm itself. We thereby get cross-platform TLS lookup without either requiring third-party libraries, while still being independent of the version of libpthread being used.
Test case included.

So when breakpoints are specified as hardware breakpoints, they might fail to be set when they are able to be resolved and should be used sparingly. This is currently hooked up for GDB remote debugging.
Linux and FreeBSD should quickly enable this feature if possible, or return an error for any breakpoints that are hardware breakpoint sites in the "virtual Error Process::EnableBreakpointSite (BreakpointSite *bp_site);" function.

On at least FreeBSD and NetBSD there is an extra field in the dyld link
map struct. I've left an assert for other OSes (i.e., Linux/mips) until
it's determined if they do the same.
