In a PR last month I changed the ObjectFile CreateInstance etc methods
to accept an optional DataExtractorSP instead of a DataBufferSP, and
retain the extractor in a shared pointer internally in all of the
ObjectFile subclasses. This is laying the groundwork for using a
VirtualDataExtractor for some Mach-O binaries on macOS, where the
segments of the binary are out-of-order in actual memory, and we add a
lookup table to make it appear that the TEXT segment is at offset 0 in
the Extractor, etc. Working on the actual implementation, I realized we
were still using DataBufferSP's in ModuleSpec and Module, as well as in
ObjectFile::GetModuleSpecifications.
I originally was making a much larger NFC change where I had all
ObjectFile subclasses operating on DataExtractors throughout their
implementation, as well as in the DWARF parser. It was a very large
patchset. Many subclasses start with their DataExtractor, then create
smaller DataExtractors for parts of the binary image - the string table,
the symbol table, etc., for processing.
After consideration and discussion with Jonas, we agreed that a
segment/section of a binary will never require a lookup table to access
the bytes within it, so I changed
VirtualDataExtractor::GetSubsetExtractorSP to (1) require that the
Subset be contained within a single lookup table entry, and (2) return a
simple DataExtractor bounded on that byte range. By doing this, I was
able to remove all of my very-invasive changes to the ObjectFile
subclass internals; it's only when they are operating on the entire
binary image that care is needed.
One pattern that subclasses like ObjectFileBreakpad use is to take an
ArrayRef of the DataBuffer for a binary, then create a StringRef of
that, then look for strings in it. With a VirtualDataExtractor and
out-of-order binary segments, with gaps between them, this allows us to
search the entire buffer looking for a string, and segfault when it gets
to an unmapped region of the buffer. I added a
VirtualDataExtractor::GetSubsetExtractorSP(0) which gets the largest
contiguous memory region starting at offset 0 for this use case, and I
added a comment about what was being done there because I know it is not
obvious, and people not working on macOS wouldn't be familiar with the
requirement. (when we have a ModuleSpec with a DataExtractor, any of the
ObjectFile subclasses get a shot at Creating, so they all have to be
able to iterate on these)

The ObjectFile plugin interface accepts an optional DataBufferSP
argument. If the caller has the contents of the binary, it can provide
this in that DataBufferSP. The ObjectFile subclasses in their
CreateInstance methods will fill in the DataBufferSP with the actual
binary contents if it is not set.
ObjectFile base class creates an ivar DataExtractor from the
DataBufferSP passed in.
My next patch will be a caller that creates a VirtualDataExtractor with
the binary data, and needs to pass that in to the ObjectFile plugin,
instead of the bag-of-bytes DataBufferSP. It builds on the previous
patch changing ObjectFile's ivar from DataExtractor to DataExtractorSP
so I could pass in a subclass in the shared ptr. And it will be using
the VirtualDataExtractor that Jonas added in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/168802
No behavior is changed by the patch; we're simply moving the creation of
the DataExtractor to the caller, instead of a DataBuffer that is
immediately used to set up the ObjectFile DataExtractor. The patch is a
bit complicated because all of the ObjectFile subclasses have to
initialize their DataExtractor to pass in to the base class.
I ran the testsuite on macOS and on AArch64 Ubutnu. (btw David, I ran it
under qemu on my M4 mac with SME-no-SVE again, Ubuntu 25.10, checked
lshw(1) cpu capabilities, and qemu doesn't seem to be virtualizing the
SME, that explains why the testsuite passes)

Recently in #107731 this change was revereted due to excess memory size
in `TestSkinnyCore`. This was due to a bug where a range's end was being
passed as size. Creating massive memory ranges.
Additionally, and requiring additional review, I added more unit tests
and more verbose logic to the merging of save core memory regions.
@jasonmolenda as an FYI.
Reapplies #106293, testing identified issue in the merging code. I used
this opportunity to strip CoreFileMemoryRanges to it's own file and then
add unit tests on it's behavior.
This patch adds the option to specify specific memory ranges to be
included in a given core file. The current implementation lets user
specified ranges either be in addition to a certain save style, or
independent of them via the newly added custom enum.
To achieve being inclusive of save style, I've moved from a std::vector
of ranges to a RangeDataVector, and to join overlapping ranges to
prevent duplication of memory ranges in the core file.
As a non function bonus, when SBSavecore was initially created, the
header was included in the lldb-private interfaces, and I've fixed that
and moved it the forward declare as an oversight. CC @bulbazord in case
we need to include that into swift.
Reapply #100443 and #101770. These were originally reverted due to a
test failure and an MSAN failure. I changed the test attribute to
restrict to x86 (following the other existing tests). I could not
reproduce the test or the MSAN failure and no repo steps were provided.
In #100443, Mach-o and Minidump now only call process API's that take a
`SaveCoreOption` as the container for the style and information if a
thread should be included in the core or not. This introduced a bug
where in subsequent method calls we were not honoring the defaults of
both implementations.
~~To solve this I have made a copy of each SaveCoreOptions that is
mutable by the respective plugin. Originally I wanted to leave the
SaveCoreOptions as non const so these default value mutations could be
shown back to the user. Changing that behavior is outside of the scope
of this bugfix, but is context for why we are making a copy.~~
Removed const on the savecoreoptions so defaults can be inspected by the
user

This PR adds `SBSaveCoreOptions`, which is a container class for options
when LLDB is taking coredumps. For this first iteration this container
just keeps parity with the extant API of `file, style, plugin`. In the
future this options object can be extended to allow users to take a
subset of their core dumps.
The current design allows that the object file contents could be mapped
by one object file plugin and then used by another. Presumably the idea
here was to avoid mapping the same file twice.
This becomes an issue when one object file plugin wants to map the file
differently from the others. For example, ObjectFileELF needs to map its
memory as writable while others likeObjectFileMachO needs it to be
mapped read-only.
This patch prevents plugins from changing the buffer by passing them is
by value rather than by reference.

This patch deals with ObjectFile, ObjectContainer and OperatingSystem
plugins. I'll convert the other types in separate patches.
In order to enable piecemeal conversion, I am leaving some ConstStrings
in the lowest PluginManager layers. I'll convert those as the last step.

There is no reason why this function should be returning a ConstString.
While modifying these files, I also fixed several instances where
GetPluginName and GetPluginNameStatic were returning different strings.
I am not changing the return type of GetPluginNameStatic in this patch, as that
would necessitate additional changes, and this patch is big enough as it is.

In all these years, we haven't found a use for this function (it has
zero callers). Lets just remove the boilerplate.

This change adds save-core functionality into the ObjectFileELF that enables
saving minidump of a stopped process. This change is mainly targeting Linux
running on x86_64 machines. Minidump should contain basic information needed
to examine state of threads, local variables and stack traces. Full support
for other platforms is not so far implemented. API tests are using LLDB's
MinidumpParser.
This relands commit aafa05e, reverted in 1f986f6.
Failed tests were fixed.
