Android and other platforms make wide use of signals when running applications and this can slow down debug sessions. Tracking this statistic can help us to determine why a debug session is slow.
The new data appears inside each target object and reports the signal hit counts:
"signals": [
{
"SIGSTOP": 1
},
{
"SIGUSR1": 1
}
],

This patch adds breakpoints to each target's statistics so we can track how long it takes to resolve each breakpoint. It also includes the structured data for each breakpoint so the exact breakpoint details are logged to allow for reproduction of slow resolving breakpoints. Each target gets a new "breakpoints" array that contains breakpoint details. Each breakpoint has "details" which is the JSON representation of a serialized breakpoint resolver and filter, "id" which is the breakpoint ID, and "resolveTime" which is the time in seconds it took to resolve the breakpoint. A snippet of the new data is shown here:
"targets": [
{
"breakpoints": [
{
"details": {...},
"id": 1,
"resolveTime": 0.00039291599999999999
},
{
"details": {...},
"id": 2,
"resolveTime": 0.00022679199999999999
}
],
"totalBreakpointResolveTime": 0.00061970799999999996
}
]
This provides full details on exactly how breakpoints were set and how long it took to resolve them.

The new key/value pairs that are added to each module's stats are:
"debugInfoByteSize": The size in bytes of debug info for each module.
"debugInfoIndexTime": The time in seconds that it took to index the debug info.
"debugInfoParseTime": The time in seconds that debug info had to be parsed.
At the top level we add up all of the debug info size, parse time and index time with the following keys:
"totalDebugInfoByteSize": The size in bytes of all debug info in all modules.
"totalDebugInfoIndexTime": The time in seconds that it took to index all debug info if it was indexed for all modules.
"totalDebugInfoParseTime": The time in seconds that debug info was parsed for all modules.

The new module stats adds the ability to measure the time it takes to parse and index the symbol tables for each module, and reports modules statistics in the output of "statistics dump" along with the path, UUID and triple of the module. The time it takes to parse and index the symbol tables are also aggregated into new top level key/value pairs at the target level.

This patch is a smaller version of a previous patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D110804.
This patch modifies the output of "statistics dump" to be able to get stats from the current target. It adds 3 new stats as well. The output of "statistics dump" is now emitted as JSON so that it can be used to track performance and statistics and the output could be used to populate a database that tracks performance. Sample output looks like:
(lldb) statistics dump
{
"expressionEvaluation": {
"failures": 0,
"successes": 0
},
"firstStopTime": 0.34164492800000001,
"frameVariable": {
"failures": 0,
"successes": 0
},
"launchOrAttachTime": 0.31969605400000001,
"targetCreateTime": 0.0040863039999999998
}
The top level keys are:
"expressionEvaluation" which replaces the previous stats that were emitted as plain text. This dictionary contains the success and fail counts.
"frameVariable" which replaces the previous stats for "frame variable" that were emitted as plain text. This dictionary contains the success and fail counts.
"targetCreateTime" contains the number of seconds it took to create the target and load dependent libraries (if they were enabled) and also will contain symbol preloading times if that setting is enabled.
"launchOrAttachTime" is the time it takes from when the launch/attach is initiated to when the first private stop occurs.
"firstStopTime" is the time in seconds that it takes to stop at the first stop that is presented to the user via the LLDB interface. This value will only have meaning if you set a known breakpoint or stop location in your code that you want to measure as a performance test.
This diff is also meant as a place to discuess what we want out of the "statistics dump" command before adding more funcionality. It is also meant to clean up the previous code that was storting statistics in a vector of numbers within the lldb_private::Target class.
