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 "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.

We know have on API we should use for all XML within LLDB in XML.h. This API will be easy back the XML parsing by different libraries in case libxml2 doesn't work on all platforms. It also allows the only place for #ifdef ...XML... to be in XML.h and XML.cpp. The API is designed so it will still compile with or without XML support and there is a static function "bool XMLDocument::XMLEnabled()" that can be called to see if XML is currently supported. All APIs will return errors, false, or nothing when XML isn't enabled.
Converted all locations that used XML over to using the host XML implementation.
Added target.xml support to debugserver. Extended the XML register format to work for LLDB by including extra attributes and elements where needed. This allows the target.xml to replace the qRegisterInfo packets and allows us to fetch all register info in a single packet.

process fully reaped. The race & bad behavior was because we were letting
the reaping thread in LLDB to also set the Process exit status, so debugserver

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.

It builds cleanly against TOT llvm with xcodebuild. I updated the
cmake files by visual inspection but did not try a build. I haven't
built these sources on any non-Mac platforms - I don't think this

I missed something.
In debugserver, MachProcess.cpp and MachTask.cpp were renamed to
MachProcess.mm and MachTask.mm as they picked up some new Objective-C

Added two new GDB server packets to debugserver: "QSaveRegisterState" and "QRestoreRegiterState".
"QSaveRegisterState" makes the remote GDB server save all register values and it returns a save identifier as an unsigned integer. This packet can be used prior to running expressions to save all registers.
All registers can them we later restored with "QRestoreRegiterState:SAVEID" what SAVEID is the integer identifier that was returned from the call to QSaveRegisterState.
Cleaned up redundant code in lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::ThreadPlanCallFunction.
Moved the lldb_private::Thread::RegisterCheckpoint into its own header file and it is now in the lldb_private namespace. Trimmed down the RegisterCheckpoint class to omit stuff that wasn't used (the stack ID).
Added a few new virtual methods to lldb_private::RegisterContext that allow subclasses to efficiently save/restore register states and changed the RegisterContextGDBRemote to take advantage of these new calls.

325,000 breakpoints for running "breakpoint set --func-regex ." on lldb itself (after hitting a breakpoint at main so that LLDB.framework is loaded) used to take up to an hour to set, now we are down under a minute. With warm file caches, we are at 40 seconds, and that is with setting 325,000 breakpoint through the GDB remote API. Linux and the native debuggers might be faster. I haven't timed what how much is debug info parsing and how much is the protocol traffic to/from GDB remote.
That there were many performance issues. Most of them were due to storing breakpoints in the wrong data structures, or using the wrong iterators to traverse the lists, traversing the lists in inefficient ways, and not optimizing certain function name lookups/symbol merges correctly.
Debugging after that is also now very efficient. There were issues with replacing the breakpoint opcodes in memory that was read, and those routines were also fixed.

own port namepsace) as the thread identifier to using the system-wide
globally unique thread id as the thread identifier number.
MachThread.cpp keeps both the unique id and the mach port number
for each thread. All layers outside MachThread class use the unique
id with three exceptions: (1) Mach exceptions come in with the port
number (thread_port) which needs to be translated, (2) any calls to
low-level thread_get_state/thread_set_state/thread_suspend etc need
to use the mach port number, (3) MachThreadList::UpdateThreadList
which creates the MachThread objects gets the unique id and passes
it to the MachThread ctor as an argument.
In general, any time nub_thread_t is used, it is now referring to a
unique thread id. Any time a thread_t is used, it is now referring
to a mach port number. There was some interchangability of these
types previously. nub_thread_t has also been changed to a 64-bit
type which necessitated some printf specification string changes.
I haven't been able to test these changes extensively yet but want
to checkpoint the work. The scenarios I've been testing are all
working correctly so while there may be some corner cases I haven't
hit yet, I think it is substantially correct.

Add unconditional logging messages to every place in debugserver
where we send a SIGKILL signal or do a ptrace PT_KILL call to
terminate the inferior process. When the debuggee is silently
killed off, the console logging from debugserver can disambiguate
whether debugserver killed off the process because it failed to
completely set it up, becuase it was told to (via the "k" packet),
or if some external daemon killed it.

We will return a valid range when possible and omit the "permissions" key

from a process and hooked it up to the new packet that was recently added
to our GDB remote executable named debugserver. Now Process has the following
new calls:
virtual Error
Process::GetMemoryRegionInfo (lldb::addr_t load_addr, MemoryRegionInfo &range_info);
virtual uint32_t
GetLoadAddressPermissions (lldb::addr_t load_addr);
Only the first one needs to be implemented by subclasses that can add this
support.
Cleaned up the way the new packet was implemented in debugserver to be more
useful as an API inside debugserver. Also found an error where finding a region
for an address actually will pick up the next region that follows the address
in the query so we also need ot make sure that the address we requested the
region for falls into the region that gets returned.
llvm-svn: 144976
Add a more general purpose qMemoryRegionInfo packet which can
describe various attributes about a memory region. Currently it
will return the start address, size, and permissions (read, write,
executable) for the memory region. It may be possible to add
additional attributes in the future such as whether the region is
designated as stack memory or jitted code a la vmmap.
I still haven't implemented the lldb side of the code to use this
packet yet so there may be unexpected behavior - but the basic implementation looks
about right. I'll hook it up to lldb soon and fix any problems that crop up.

whether a given address is in an executable region of memory or
not. I haven't written the lldb side that will use this packet it
hasn't been tested yet but it's a simple enough bit of code.
I want to have this feature available for the unwinder code. When
we're stopped at an address with no valid symbol context, there are
a number of questions I'd like to ask --
is the current pc value in an executable region (e.g. did they
jump to unallocated/unexecutable memory? we know how to unwind
from here if so.)
Is the stack pointer or the frame pointer the correct register
to use to find the caller's saved pc value?
Once we're past the first frame we can trust things like eh_frame
and ABI unwind schemes but the first frame is challenging and having
a way to check potential addresses to see if they're executable or
not would help narrow down the possibilities a lot.
