lldb-server built with NativeProcessLinux.cpp and
NativeProcessFreeBSD.cpp can use breakpoints to implement instruction
stepping on cores where there is no native instruction-step primitive.
Currently these set a breakpoint, continue, and if we hit the breakpoint
with the original thread, set the stop reason to be "trace".
I am wrapping up a change to lldb's breakpoint algorithm where I change
its current behavior of
"if a thread stops at a breakpoint site, we set
the thread's stop reason to breakpoint-hit, even if the breakpoint
hasn't been executed" +
"when resuming any thread at a breakpoint site, instruction-step past
the breakpoint before resuming"
to a behavior of
"when a thread executes a breakpoint, set the stop reason to
breakpoint-hit" +
"when a thread has hit a breakpoint, when the thread resumes, we
silently step past the breakpoint and then resume the thread".
For these lldb-server targets doing breakpoint stepping, this means that
if we are sitting on a breakpoint that has not yet executed, and
instruction-step the thread, we will execute the breakpoint instruction
at $pc (instead of $next-pc where it meant to go), and stop again -- at
the same pc value. Then we will rewrite the stop reason to 'trace'. The
higher level logic will see that we haven't hit the breakpoint
instruction again, so it will try to instruction step again, hitting the
breakpoint again forever.
To fix this, I'm checking that the thread matches the one we are
instruction-stepping-by-breakpoint AND that we've stopped at the
breakpoint address we are stepping to. Only in that case will the stop
reason be rewritten to "trace" hiding the implementation detail that the
step was done by breakpoints.
This patch removes all of the Set.* methods from Status.
This cleanup is part of a series of patches that make it harder use the
anti-pattern of keeping a long-lives Status object around and updating
it while dropping any errors it contains on the floor.
This patch is largely NFC, the more interesting next steps this enables
is to:
1. remove Status.Clear()
2. assert that Status::operator=() never overwrites an error
3. remove Status::operator=()
Note that step (2) will bring 90% of the benefits for users, and step
(3) will dramatically clean up the error handling code in various
places. In the end my goal is to convert all APIs that are of the form
` ResultTy DoFoo(Status& error)
`
to
` llvm::Expected<ResultTy> DoFoo()
`
How to read this patch?
The interesting changes are in Status.h and Status.cpp, all other
changes are mostly
` perl -pi -e 's/\.SetErrorString/ = Status::FromErrorString/g' $(git
grep -l SetErrorString lldb/source)
`
plus the occasional manual cleanup.
Similar to #97796, fix the type of the `native_thread` parameter for the
arm, mips64 and powerpc variants of `NativeRegisterContextFreeBSD_*`.
Otherwise, this leads to compile errors similar to:
```

This extends the existing register fields support from AArch64 Linux
to AArch64 FreeBSD. So you will now see output like this:
```
(lldb) register read cpsr
cpsr = 0x60000200
= (N = 0, Z = 1, C = 1, V = 0, DIT = 0, SS = 0, IL = 0, SSBS = 0, D = 1, A = 0, I = 0, F = 0, nRW = 0, EL = 0, SP = 0)
```
Linux and FreeBSD both have HWCAP/HWCAP2 so the detection mechanism
is the same and I've renamed the detector class to reflect that.
I have confirmed that FreeBSD's treatment of CPSR (spsr as the kernel
calls it) is similair enough that we can use the same field information.
(see `sys/arm64/include/armreg.h` and `PSR_SETTABLE_64`)
For testing I've enabled the same live process test as Linux
and added a shell test using an existing FreeBSD core file.
Note that the latter does not need XML support because when reading
a core file we are not sending the information via target.xml,
it's just internal to LLDB.
535da10842c7309e9eeaf9828cf6bb034fecaf16 introduced a check, when execve fails,
to see if we are allowed to trace programs at all.
Unfortunately because we like to call Status vars "error" and "status"
in various combinations, one got misnamed. This lead to lldb-server trying
to make an error value out of a success value when you did the following:
```
$ ./bin/lldb-server gdbserver 127.0.0.1:1234 -- is_not_a_file
Assertion failed: (Err && "Cannot create Expected<T> from Error success value."), function Expected...
```
This happened because the execve fails, but the check whether we can
trace says yes we can trace, but then we use the Status from the check
to create the return value. That Status is in fact a success value not
the failed Status we got from the execve attempt.
With the name corrected you now get:
```
$ ./bin/lldb-server gdbserver 127.0.0.1:1234 -- is_not_a_file
error: failed to launch 'is_not_a_file': execve failed: No such file or directory
```
Which is what we expect to see. This also fixes the test `TestGDBRemoteLaunch.py`
when asserts are enabled.
This is a follow-up to D116372, which had a rather unfortunate side
effect of making the processing of a single SIGCHLD quadratic in the
number of threads -- which does not matter for simple applications, but
can get really bad for applications with thousands of threads.
This patch fixes the problem by implementing the other possibility
mentioned in the first patch -- doing waitpid(-1) centrally and then
routing the events to the correct process instance. The "uncollected"
threads are held in the process factory class -- which I've renamed to
Manager for this purpose, as it now does more than creating processes.

Do not send SIGSTOP when requested to halt a process that's already

Set the current thread ID to the thread where an event happened.
As a result, e.g. when a signal is delivered to a thread other than
the first one, the respective T packet refers to the signaled thread
rather than the first thread (with no stop reason). While this doesn't
strictly make a difference to the LLDB client, it is the expected
behavior.

The original commit was reverted because of the problems it introduced

While at it, remove the dbreg hack as the underlying issue has been

in real life use anyway.

This commit has caused the following tests to be flaky:
TestThreadSpecificBpPlusCondition.py
TestExitDuringExpression.py
The exact cause is not known yet, but since both tests deal with
threads, my guess is it has something to do with the tracking of
creation of new threads (which the commit touches upon).
This reverts the following commits:
d01bff8cbdc98fb8751f7bf10af19b47ae5c445d,
ba62ebc48e8c424ce3a78ba01acda679d536dd47,

In all this time, we've never used more than one delegate. The logic to
support multiple delegates is therefore untested, and becomes
particularly unwieldy once we need to support multiple processes.
Just remove it.

provided -- this change lays foundations over subsequent work on fork
support.
