- Avoid sending the qfThreadInfo, qsThreadInfo packets if we have a stop reply packet with the threads already (save 2 round trip packets)
- Include the qname, qserial and qkind in the JSON info
- Report the qname, qserial and qkind to the thread so it can cache it to avoid many packets on MacOSX and iOS
- Don't clear all discoverable settings when we exec, just the ones we need to saves 1-5 packets for each exec.

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;
Linux test suite passes just fine now.

A "qSymbol::" is sent when shared libraries have been loaded by hooking into the Process::ModulesDidLoad() function from within ProcessGDBRemote. This function was made virtual so that the ProcessGDBRemote version is called, which then first calls the Process::ModulesDidLoad(), and then it queries for any symbol lookups that the remote GDB server might want to do.
This allows debugserver to request the "dispatch_queue_offsets" symbol so that it can read the queue name, queue kind and queue serial number and include this data as part of the stop reply packet. Previously each thread would have to do 3 memory reads in order to read the queue name.
This is part of reducing the number of packets that are sent between LLDB and the remote GDB server.

This patch adds a listener to the AynscThread in ProcessGDBRemote, specifically for dealing with any async notification packets.
From the broadcast our listener receives we can process the notify packet from the event data. A handler function then sets the thread stop info from this packet, and updates lldb by setting the process private state to stopped. Allowing the async thread to go back to sleep and getting the main thread to handle the implications of a state change.
When sending a vCont in nonstop mode we also get a different reply from all-stop mode, an OK response as opposed to a stop reply. So a condition is added to handle this and set the process state without the stop-reply data.

We have been working on reducing the packet count that is sent between LLDB and the debugserver on MacOSX and iOS. Our approach to this was to reduce the packets required when debugging multiple threads. We currently make one qThreadStopInfoXXXX call (where XXXX is the thread ID in hex) per thread except the thread that stopped with a stop reply packet. In order to implement multiple thread infos in a single reply, we need to use structured data, which means JSON. The new jThreadsInfo packet will attempt to retrieve all thread infos in a single packet. The data is very similar to the stop reply packets, but packaged in JSON and uses JSON arrays where applicable. The JSON output looks like:
[
{ "tid":1580681,
"metype":6,
"medata":[2,0],

It contains an array of dicitionaries with all of the key value pairs that are normally in the stop reply packet. Including the expedited registers. Notice that is also contains expedited memory in the "memory" key. Any values in this memory will get included in a new L1 cache in lldb_private::Process where if a memory read request is made and that memory request fits into one of the L1 memory cache blocks, it will use that memory data. If a memory request fails in the L1 cache, it will fall back to the L2 cache which is the same block sized caching we were using before these changes. This allows a process to expedite memory that you are likely to use and it reduces packet count. On MacOSX with debugserver, we expedite the frame pointer backchain for a thread (up to 256 entries) by reading 2 pointers worth of bytes at the frame pointer (for the previous FP and PC), and follow the backchain. Most backtraces on MacOSX and iOS now don't require us to read any memory!
We will try these packets out and if successful, we should port these to lldb-server in the near future.

In ProcessGDBRemote we currently have a single packet, m_last_stop_packet, used to set the thread stop info.
However in non-stop mode we can receive several stop reply packets in a sequence for different threads. As a result we need to use a container to hold them before they are processed.
This patch also changes the return type of CheckPacket() so we can detect async notification packets.

The main issue was the Communication::Disconnect() was calling its Connection::Disconnect() but this wouldn't release the pipes that the ConnectionFileDescriptor was using. We also have someone that is holding a strong reference to the Process so that when you re-run, target replaces its m_process_sp, but it doesn't get destructed because someone has a strong reference to it. I need to track that down. But, even if we have a strong reference to the a process that is outstanding, we need to call Process::Finalize() to have it release as much of its resources as possible to avoid memory bloat.
Removed the ProcessGDBRemote::SetExitStatus() override and replaced it with ProcessGDBRemote::DidExit().
Now we aren't leaking file descriptors and the stand alone test suite should run much better.

There were two versions of DoAttachToprocessWithId. One that takes
a pid_t, and the other which takes a pid_t and a ProcessAttachInfo.
There were no callers of the former version, and all of the

one version or the other.

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).

This removes ScriptInterpreterObject from the codebase completely.
Places that used to rely on ScriptInterpreterObject now use
StructuredData::Object and its derived classes. To support this,
a new type of StructuredData object is introduced, called
StructuredData::Generic, which stores a void*. Internally within
the python library, StructuredPythonObject subclasses this
StructuredData::Generic class so that it can addref and decref
the python object on construction and destruction.
Additionally, all of the classes in PythonDataObjects.h such
as PythonList, PythonDictionary, etc now provide a method to
create an instance of the corresponding StructuredData type. For
example, there is PythonDictionary::CreateStructuredDictionary.
To eliminate dependencies on PythonDataObjects for external
callers, all ScriptInterpreter methods now return only
StructuredData classes
The rest of the changes in this CL are focused on fixing up
users of PythonDataObjects classes to use the new StructuredData
classes.

There are several places where multiple threads are accessing the same variables simultaneously without any kind of protection. I propose using std::atomic<> to make it safer. I did a special build of lldb, using the google tool 'thread sanitizer' which identified many cases of multiple threads accessing the same memory. std::atomic is low overhead and does not use any locks for simple types such as int/bool.
See http://reviews.llvm.org/D5302 for more details.

This change does the following:
* eliminates the Process::GetUnixSignals() virtual method and replaces with a fixed getter.
* replaces the Process UnixSignals storage with a shared pointer.
* adds a Process constructor variant that can be passed the UnixSignalsSP. When the constructor without the UnixSignalsSP is specified, the Host's default UnixSignals is used.
* adds a host-specific version of GetUnixSignals() that is used when we need the host's appropriate UnixSignals variant.
* replaces GetUnixSignals() overrides in PlatformElfCore, ProcessGDBRemote, ProcessFreeBSD and ProcessLinux with code that appropriately sets the Process::UnixSignals for the process.
This change also enables some future patches that will enable llgs to be used for local Linux debugging.

This change brings in lldb-gdbserver (llgs) specifically for Linux x86_64.
(More architectures coming soon).
Not every debugserver option is covered yet. Currently
the lldb-gdbserver command line can start unattached,
start attached to a pid (process-name attach not supported yet),
or accept lldb attaching and launching a process or connecting
by process id.
The history of this large change can be found here:

Until mid/late April, I was not sharing the work and continued
to rebase it off of head (developed via id tfiala@google.com). I switched over to
user todd.fiala@gmail.com in the middle, and once I went to github, I did
merges rather than rebasing so I could share with others.

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.

data if it is available.
Change ProcessGDBRemote's maximum read/write packet size from a
fixed 512 byte value to asking the remote gdb stub what its maximum
is, using up to 128kbyte sizes if that's allowed, and falling back
to 512 if the remote gdb stub doesn't advertise a max packet size.
Add a new "process plugin packet xfer-size" command that can be used
to override the maximum packet size (although not exceeding any packet
size maximum published by the remote gdb stub).

The many many benefits include:
1 - Input/Output/Error streams are now handled as real streams not a push style input
2 - auto completion in python embedded interpreter
3 - multi-line input for "script" and "expression" commands now allow you to edit previous/next lines using up and down arrow keys and this makes multi-line input actually a viable thing to use
4 - it is now possible to use curses to drive LLDB (please try the "gui" command)

When debugging with the GDB remote in LLDB, LLDB uses special packets to discover the
registers on the remote server. When those packets aren't supported, LLDB doesn't
know what the registers look like. This checkin implements a setting that can be used
to specify a python file that contains the registers definitions. The setting is:
(lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.target-definition-file /path/to/module.py
Inside module there should be a function:
def get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name):
This dynamic setting function is handed the "target" which is a SBTarget, and the
"setting_name", which is the name of the dynamic setting to retrieve. For the GDB
remote target definition the setting name is 'gdb-server-target-definition'. The
return value is a dictionary that follows the same format as the OperatingSystem
plugins follow. I have checked in an example file that implements the x86_64 GDB
register set for people to see:
examples/python/x86_64_target_definition.py
This allows LLDB to debug to any archticture that is support and allows users to
define the registers contexts when the discovery packets (qRegisterInfo, qHostInfo)
are not supported by the remote GDB server.
A few benefits of doing this in Python:
1 - The dynamic register context was already supported in the OperatingSystem plug-in
2 - Register contexts can use all of the LLDB enumerations and definitions for things
like lldb::Format, lldb::Encoding, generic register numbers, invalid registers
numbers, etc.
3 - The code that generates the register context can use the program to calculate the
register context contents (like offsets, register numbers, and more)
4 - True dynamic detection could be used where variables and types could be read from
the target program itself in order to determine which registers are available since
the target is passed into the python function.
This is designed to be used instead of XML since it is more dynamic and code flow and
functions can be used to make the dictionary.

Enhance lldb so it can search for a kernel in memory when attaching
to a remote system. Remove some of the code that was doing this
from ProcessMachCore and ProcessGDBRemote and put it in
DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel.
I've added a new setting, plugin.dynamic-loader.darwin-kernel.scan-type
which can be set to
none - for environments where reading random memory can cause a
device crash
basic - look at one fixed location in memory for a kernel load address,
plus the contents of that address
fast-scan - the default, tries "basic" and then looks for the kernel's
mach header near the current pc value when lldb connects
exhaustive-scan - on 32-bit targets, step through the entire range where
the kernel can be loaded, looking for the kernel binary
I don't have the setting set up correctly right now, I'm getting back unexpected
values from the Property system, but I'll figure that out tomorrow and fix.
Besides that, all of the different communication methods / types of kernels
appear to be working correctly with these changes.

I added the ability for a process plug-in to implement custom commands. All the lldb_private::Process plug-in has to do is override:
