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.
This patch replaces uses of StringRef::{starts,ends}with with
StringRef::{starts,ends}_with for consistency with
std::{string,string_view}::{starts,ends}_with in C++20.
I'm planning to deprecate and eventually remove
StringRef::{starts,ends}with.
I've plumbed the LLVM DebugInfoD client into LLDB, and added automatic
downloading of DWP files to the SymbolFileDWARF.cpp plugin. If you have
DEBUGINFOD_URLS set to a space delimited set of web servers, LLDB will
try to use them as a last resort when searching for DWP files. If you do
*not* have that environment variable set, nothing should be changed.
There's also a setting, per @clayborg 's suggestion, that will override
the environment variable, or can be used instead of the environment
variable. The setting is why I also needed to add an API to the
llvm-debuginfod library
### Test Plan:
Suggestions are welcome here. I should probably have some positive and
negative tests, but I wanted to get the diff up for people who have a
clue what they're doing to rip it to pieces before spending too much
time validating the initial implementation.

This builds on top of the work started in c3a302d to convert
LocateSymbolFile to a SymbolLocator plugin. This commit moves
DownloadObjectAndSymbolFile.
This commit contains the initial scaffolding to convert the
functionality currently implemented in LocateSymbolFile to a plugin
architecture. The plugin approach allows us to easily add new ways to
find symbols and fixes some issues with the current implementation.
For instance, currently we (ab)use the host OS to include support for
querying the DebugSymbols framework on macOS. The plugin approach
retains all the benefits (including the ability to compile this out on
other platforms) while maintaining a higher level of separation with the
platform independent code.
To limit the scope of this patch, I've only converted a single function:
LocateExecutableObjectFile. Future commits will convert the remaining
LocateSymbolFile functions and eventually remove LocateSymbolFile. To
make reviewing easier, that will done as follow-ups.
The underlying structures no longer use ConstString so we can remove it
wholesale from PluginManager now.

I removed ConstString from OptionValueProperties in 643ba926c1f6, but
there are a few call sites that still create a ConstString as an
argument. I did not catch these initially because ConstString has an
implicit conversion method to StringRef.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D153673
These probably do not need to be in the ConstString StringPool as they
don't really need any of the advantages that ConstStrings offer.
Lifetime for these things is always static and we never need to perform
comparisons for setting descriptions.

This change uses the information from target.xml sent by
the GDB stub to produce C types that we can use to print
register fields.
lldb-server *does not* produce this information yet. This will
only work with GDB stubs that do. gdbserver or qemu
are 2 I know of. Testing is added that uses a mocked lldb-server.
```
(lldb) register read cpsr x0 fpcr fpsr x1
cpsr = 0x60001000
= (N = 0, Z = 1, C = 1, V = 0, TCO = 0, DIT = 0, UAO = 0, PAN = 0, SS = 0, IL = 0, SSBS = 1, BTYPE = 0, D = 0, A = 0, I = 0, F = 0, nRW = 0, EL = 0, SP = 0)
```
Only "register read" will display fields, and only when
we are not printing a register block.
For example, cpsr is a 32 bit register. Using the target's scratch type
system we construct a type:
```
struct __attribute__((__packed__)) cpsr {
uint32_t N : 1;
uint32_t Z : 1;
...
uint32_t EL : 2;
uint32_t SP : 1;
};
```
If this register had unallocated bits in it, those would
have been filled in by RegisterFlags as anonymous fields.
A new option "SetChildPrintingDecider" is added so we
can disable printing those.
Important things about this type:
* It is packed so that sizeof(struct cpsr) == sizeof(the real register).
(this will hold for all flags types we create)
* Each field has the same storage type, which is the same as the type
of the raw register value. This prevents fields being spilt over
into more storage units, as is allowed by most ABIs.
* Each bitfield size matches that of its register field.
* The most significant field is first.
The last point is required because the most significant bit (MSB)
being on the left/top of a print out matches what you'd expect to
see in an architecture manual. In addition, having lldb print a
different field order on big/little endian hosts is not acceptable.
As a consequence, if the target is little endian we have to
reverse the order of the fields in the value. The value of each field
remains the same. For example 0b01 doesn't become 0b10, it just shifts
up or down.
This is needed because clang's type system assumes that for a struct
like the one above, the least significant bit (LSB) will be first
for a little endian target. We need the MSB to be first.
Finally, if lldb's host is a different endian to the target we have
to byte swap the host endian value to match the endian of the target's
typesystem.
| Host Endian | Target Endian | Field Order Swap | Byte Order Swap |
|-------------|---------------|------------------|-----------------|
| Little | Little | Yes | No |
| Big | Little | Yes | Yes |
| Little | Big | No | Yes |
| Big | Big | No | No |
Testing was done as follows:
* Little -> Little
* LE AArch64 native debug.
* Big -> Little
* s390x lldb running under QEMU, connected to LE AArch64 target.
* Little -> Big
* LE AArch64 lldb connected to QEMU's GDB stub, which is running
an s390x program.
* Big -> Big
* s390x lldb running under QEMU, connected to another QEMU's GDB
stub, which is running an s390x program.
As we are not allowed to link core code to plugins directly,
I have added a new plugin RegisterTypeBuilder. There is one implementation
of this, RegisterTypeBuilderClang, which uses TypeSystemClang to build
the CompilerType from the register fields.

The low-level decoder might fall into an infinite decoding loop for
various reasons, the simplest being an infinite direct loop reached due
to wrong handling of self-modified code in the kernel, e.g. it might
reach
```
0x0A: pause
0x0C: jump to 0x0A
```
In this case, all the code is sequential and requires no packets to be
decoded. The low-level decoder would produce an output like the
following
```
0x0A: pause
0x0C: jump to 0x0A
0x0A: pause
0x0C: jump to 0x0A
0x0A: pause
0x0C: jump to 0x0A
... infinite amount of times
```
These cases require stopping the decoder to avoid infinite work and signal this
at least as a trace error.
- Add a check that breaks decoding of a single PSB once 500k instructions have been decoded since the last packet was processed.
- Add a check that looks for infinite loops after certain amount of instructions have been decoded since the last packet was processed.
- Add some `settings` properties for tweaking the thresholds of the checks above. This is also nice because it does the basic work needed for future settings.
- Add an AnomalyDetector class that inspects the DecodedThread and the libipt decoder in search for anomalies. These anomalies are then signaled as fatal errors in the trace.
- Add an ErrorStats class that keeps track of all the errors in a DecodedThread, with a special counter for fatal errors.
- Add an entry for decoded thread errors in the `dump info` command.
Some notes are added in the code and in the documention of the settings,
so please read them.
Besides that, I haven't been unable to create a test case in LLVM style, but
I've found an anomaly in the thread #12 of the trace

artificially create traces with this kind of anomalies in LLVM style.
With this change, that anomalous thread now shows:

PE/COFF can use either MSVC or GNU (MinGW) ABI for C++ code, however
LLDB had defaulted to MSVC implicitly with no way to override it. This
causes issues when debugging modules built with the GNU ABI, sometimes
even crashes.
This changes the PE/COFF plugin to set the module triple according to
the default target triple used to build LLDB. If the default target
triple is Windows and a valid environment is specified, then this
environment will be used for the module spec. This not only works for
MSVC and GNU, but also other environments.
A new setting, `plugin.object-file.pe-coff.abi`, has been added to
allow overriding this default ABI.

Copying from the inline documentation:
```
Trace exporter plug-ins operate on traces, converting the trace data provided by an \a lldb_private::TraceCursor into a different format that can be digested by other tools, e.g. Chrome Trace Event Profiler.
Trace exporters are supposed to operate on an architecture-agnostic fashion, as a TraceCursor, which feeds the data, hides the actual trace technology being used.
```
I want to use this to make the code in https://reviews.llvm.org/D105741 a plug-in. I also imagine that there will be more and more exporters being implemented, as an exporter creates something useful out of trace data. And tbh I don't want to keep adding more stuff to the lldb/Target folder.
This is the minimal definition for a TraceExporter plugin. I plan to use this with the following commands:
- thread trace export <plug-in name> [plug-in specific args]
- This command would support autocompletion of plug-in names
- thread trace export list
- This command would list the available trace exporter plug-ins
I don't plan to create yet a "process trace export" because it's easier to start analyzing the trace of a given thread than of the entire process. When we need a process-level command, we can implement it.
I also don't plan to force each "export" command implementation to support multiple threads (for example, "thread trace start 1 2 3" or "thread trace start all" operate on many threads simultaneously). The reason is that the format used by the exporter might or might not support multiple threads, so I'm leaving this decision to each trace exporter plug-in.

lldb to create a user process corefile with only the dirty (modified
memory) pages included. All of the binaries that were used in the

of the use of the corefile. A new --style option to process save-core

systems, or across time, is needed for this corefile.
debugserver can now identify the dirty pages in a memory region
when queried with qMemoryRegionInfo, and the size of vm pages is
given in qHostInfo.
Create a new "all image infos" LC_NOTE for Mach-O which allows us
to describe all of the binaries that were loaded in the process --
load address, UUID, file path, segment load addresses, and optionally
whether code from the binary was executing on any thread. The old
"read dyld_all_image_infos and then the in-memory Mach-O load

This implements the interactive trace start and stop methods.
This diff ended up being much larger than I anticipated because, by doing it, I found that I had implemented in the beginning many things in a non optimal way. In any case, the code is much better now.
There's a lot of boilerplate code due to the gdb-remote protocol, but the main changes are:
- New tracing packets: jLLDBTraceStop, jLLDBTraceStart, jLLDBTraceGetBinaryData. The gdb-remote packet definitions are quite comprehensive.
- Implementation of the "process trace start|stop" and "thread trace start|stop" commands.
- Implementaiton of an API in Trace.h to interact with live traces.
- Created an IntelPTDecoder for live threads, that use the debugger's stop id as checkpoint for its internal cache.
- Added a functionality to stop the process in case "process tracing" is enabled and a new thread can't traced.
- Added tests
I have some ideas to unify the code paths for post mortem and live threads, but I'll do that in another diff.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D91679
Depends on D90490.
The stop command is simple and invokes the new method Trace::StopTracingThread(thread).
On the other hand, the start command works by delegating its implementation to a CommandObject provided by the Trace plugin. This is necessary because each trace plugin needs different options for this command. There's even the chance that a Trace plugin can't support live tracing, but instead supports offline decoding and analysis, which means that "thread trace dump instructions" works but "thread trace start" doest. Because of this and a few other reasons, it's better to have each plugin provide this implementation.
Besides, I'm using the GetSupportedTraceType method introduced in D90490 to quickly infer what's the trace plug-in that works for the current process.
As an implementation note, I moved CommandObjectIterateOverThreads to its header so that I can use it from the IntelPT plugin. Besides, the actual start and stop logic for intel-pt is not part of this diff.

With the feedback I was getting in different diffs, I realized that splitting the parsing logic into two classes was not easy to deal with. I do see value in doing that, but I'd rather leave that as a refactor after most of the intel-pt logic is in place. Thus, I'm merging the common parser into the intel pt one, having thus only one that is fully aware of Intel PT during parsing and object creation.
Besides, based on the feedback in https://reviews.llvm.org/D88769, I'm creating a ThreadIntelPT class that will be able to orchestrate decoding of its own trace and can handle the stop events correctly.
This leaves the TraceIntelPT class as an initialization class that glues together different components. Right now it can initialize a trace session from a json file, and in the future will be able to initialize a trace session from a live process.
Besides, I'm renaming SettingsParser to SessionParser, which I think is a better name, as the json object represents a trace session of possibly many processes.
With the current set of targets, we have the following
- Trace: main interface for dealing with trace sessions
- TraceIntelPT: plugin Trace for dealing with intel pt sessions
- TraceIntelPTSessionParser: a parser of a json trace session file that can create a corresponding TraceIntelPT instance along with Targets, ProcessTraces (to be created in https://reviews.llvm.org/D88769), and ThreadIntelPT threads.
- ProcessTrace: (to be created in https://reviews.llvm.org/D88769) can handle the correct state of the traces as the user traverses the trace. I don't think there'll be a need an intel-pt specific implementation of this class.
- ThreadIntelPT: a thread implementation that can handle the decoding of its own trace file, along with keeping track of the current position the user is looking at when doing reverse debugging.

This is the first in a series of patches that will adds a new processor trace plug-in to LLDB.
The idea for this first patch to to add the plug-in interface with simple commands for the trace files that can "load" and "dump" the trace information. We can test the functionality and ensure people are happy with the way things are done and how things are organized before moving on to adding more functionality.
Processor trace information can be view in a few different ways:
- post mortem where a trace is saved off that can be viewed later in the debugger
- gathered while a process is running and allow the user to step back in time (with no variables, memory or registers) to see how each thread arrived at where it is currently stopped.
This patch attempts to start with the first solution of loading a trace file after the fact. The idea is that we will use a JSON file to load the trace information. JSON allows us to specify information about the trace like:
- plug-in name in LLDB
- path to trace file
- shared library load information so we can re-create a target and symbolicate the information in the trace
- any other info that the trace plug-in will need to be able to successfully parse the trace information
- cpu type
- version info
- ???
A new "trace" command was added at the top level of the LLDB commmands:
- "trace load"
- "trace dump"
I did this because if we load trace information we don't need to have a process and we might end up creating a new target for the trace information that will become active. If anyone has any input on where this would be better suited, please let me know. Walter Erquinigo will end up filling in the Intel PT specific plug-in so that it works and is tested once we can agree that the direction of this patch is the correct one, so please feel free to chime in with ideas on comments!
