As discusses offline with @jj10305, we are updating some naming used throughout the code, specially in the json schema
- traceBuffer -> iptTrace
- core -> cpu
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D127817
This diffs implements per-core tracing on lldb-server. It also includes tests that ensure that tracing can be initiated from the client and that the jLLDBGetState ppacket returns the list of trace buffers per core.
This doesn't include any decoder changes.
Finally, this makes some little changes here and there improving the existing code.
A specific piece of code that can't reliably be tested is when tracing
per core fails due to permissions. In this case we add a
troubleshooting message and this is the manual test:
```
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid set to 1
(lldb) process trace start --per-core-tracing error: perf event syscall failed: Permission denied
You might need that /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid has a value of 0 or -1.

This updates the documentation of the gdb-remote protocol, as well as the help messages, to include the new --per-core-tracing option.

This adds a basic SB API for creating and stopping traces.
Note: This doesn't add any APIs for inspecting individual instructions. That'd be a more complicated change and it might be better to enhande the dump functionality to output the data in binary format. I'll leave that for a later diff.
This also enhances the existing tests so that they test the same flow using both the command interface and the SB API.
I also did some cleanup of legacy code.
