Modified the lldb_private::Thread to work much better with the OperatingSystem plug-ins. Operating system plug-ins can now return have a "core" key/value pair in each thread dictionary for the OperatingSystemPython plug-ins which allows the core threads to be contained with memory threads. It also allows these memory threads to be stepped, resumed, and controlled just as if they were the actual backing threads themselves.

A few things are introduced:
- lldb_private::Thread now has a GetProtocolID() method which returns the thread protocol ID for a given thread. The protocol ID (Thread::GetProtocolID()) is usually the same as the thread id (Thread::GetID()), but it can differ when a memory thread has its own id, but is backed by an actual API thread.
- Cleaned up the Thread::WillResume() code to do the mandatory parts in Thread::ShouldResume(), and let the thread subclasses override the Thread::WillResume() which is now just a notification.
- Cleaned up ClearStackFrames() implementations so that fewer thread subclasses needed to override them
- Changed the POSIXThread class a bit since it overrode Thread::WillResume(). It is doing the wrong thing by calling "Thread::SetResumeState()" on its own, this shouldn't be done by thread subclasses, but the current code might rely on it so I left it in with a TODO comment with an explanation.

Major fixed to allow reading files that are over 4GB. The main problems were that the DataExtractor was using 32 bit offsets as a data cursor, and since we mmap all of our object files we could run into cases where if we had a very large core file that was over 4GB, we were running into the 4GB boundary.

So I defined a new "lldb::offset_t" which should be used for all file offsets.

After making this change, I enabled warnings for data loss and for enexpected implicit conversions temporarily and found a ton of things that I fixed.

Any functions that take an index internally, should use "size_t" for any indexes and also should return "size_t" for any sizes of collections.

Prepare LLDB to be built with C++11 by hiding all accesses to std::tr1 behind
macros that allows us to easily compile for either C++.

289afcb5e26c2527a0d2e71f84e780b86bbcf90a 18-Feb-2012 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> The second part in thread hardening the internals of LLDB where we make
the lldb_private::StackFrame objects hold onto a weak pointer to the thread
object. The lldb_private::StackFrame objects the the most volatile objects
we have as when we are doing single stepping, frames can often get lost or
thrown away, only to be re-created as another object that still refers to the
same frame. We have another bug tracking that. But we need to be able to
have frames no longer be able to get the thread when they are not part of
a thread anymore, and this is the first step (this fix makes that possible
but doesn't implement it yet).

Also changed lldb_private::ExecutionContextScope to return shared pointers to
all objects in the execution context to further thread harden the internals.




git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk@150871 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

13d24fb1817faa7ccc4cfd799113ba1a2b8968eb 29-Jan-2012 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> Switching back to using std::tr1::shared_ptr. We originally switched away
due to RTTI worries since llvm and clang don't use RTTI, but I was able to
switch back with no issues as far as I can tell. Once the RTTI issue wasn't
an issue, we were looking for a way to properly track weak pointers to objects
to solve some of the threading issues we have been running into which naturally
led us back to std::tr1::weak_ptr. We also wanted the ability to make a shared
pointer from just a pointer, which is also easily solved using the
std::tr1::enable_shared_from_this class.

The main reason for this move back is so we can start properly having weak
references to objects. Currently a lldb_private::Thread class has a refrence
to its parent lldb_private::Process. This doesn't work well when we now hand
out a SBThread object that contains a shared pointer to a lldb_private::Thread
as this SBThread can be held onto by external clients and if they end up
using one of these objects we can easily crash.

So the next task is to start adopting std::tr1::weak_ptr where ever it makes
sense which we can do with lldb_private::Debugger, lldb_private::Target,
lldb_private::Process, lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrame, and
many more objects now that they are no longer using intrusive ref counted
pointer objects (you can't do std::tr1::weak_ptr functionality with intrusive
pointers).

2f085c6ca2895663687dca704589478ff040b849 15-May-2011 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> Added the ability to get the return value from a ThreadPlanCallFunction
thread plan. In order to get the return value, you can call:

void
ThreadPlanCallFunction::RequestReturnValue (lldb::ValueSP &return_value_sp);

This registers a shared pointer to a return value that will get filled in if
everything goes well. After the thread plan is run the return value will be
extracted for you.

Added an ifdef to be able to switch between the LLVM MCJIT and the standand JIT.
We currently have the standard JIT selected because we have some work to do to
get the MCJIT fuctioning properly.

Added the ability to call functions with 6 argument in the x86_64 ABI.

Added the ability for GDBRemoteCommunicationClient to detect if the allocate
and deallocate memory packets are supported and to not call allocate memory
("_M") or deallocate ("_m") if we find they aren't supported.

Modified the ProcessGDBRemote::DoAllocateMemory(...) and ProcessGDBRemote::DoDeallocateMemory(...)
to be able to deal with the allocate and deallocate memory packets not being
supported. If they are not supported, ProcessGDBRemote will switch to calling
"mmap" and "munmap" to allocate and deallocate memory instead using our
trivial function call support.

Modified the "void ProcessGDBRemote::DidLaunchOrAttach()" to correctly ignore
the qHostInfo triple information if any was specified in the target. Currently
if the target only specifies an architecture when creating the target:

(lldb) target create --arch i386 a.out

Then the vendor, os and environemnt will be adopted by the target.

If the target was created with any triple that specifies more than the arch:

(lldb) target create --arch i386-unknown-unknown a.out

Then the target will maintain its triple and not adopt any new values. This
can be used to help force bare board debugging where the dynamic loader for
static files will get used and users can then use "target modules load ..."
to set addressses for any files that are desired.

Added back some convenience functions to the lldb_private::RegisterContext class
for writing registers with unsigned values. Also made all RegisterContext
constructors explicit to make sure we know when an integer is being converted
to a RegisterValue.

061b79dbf1fefaf157d414747e98a463a0f32eda 09-May-2011 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> While implementing unwind information using UnwindAssemblyInstEmulation I ran
into some cleanup I have been wanting to do when reading/writing registers.
Previously all RegisterContext subclasses would need to implement:

virtual bool
ReadRegisterBytes (uint32_t reg, DataExtractor &data);

virtual bool
WriteRegisterBytes (uint32_t reg, DataExtractor &data, uint32_t data_offset = 0);

There is now a new class specifically designed to hold register values:
lldb_private::RegisterValue

The new register context calls that subclasses must implement are:

virtual bool
ReadRegister (const RegisterInfo *reg_info, RegisterValue &reg_value) = 0;

virtual bool
WriteRegister (const RegisterInfo *reg_info, const RegisterValue &reg_value) = 0;

The RegisterValue class must be big enough to handle any register value. The
class contains an enumeration for the value type, and then a union for the
data value. Any integer/float values are stored directly in an appropriate
host integer/float. Anything bigger is stored in a byte buffer that has a length
and byte order. The RegisterValue class also knows how to copy register value
bytes into in a buffer with a specified byte order which can be used to write
the register value down into memory, and this does the right thing when not
all bytes from the register values are needed (getting a uint8 from a uint32
register value..).

All RegiterContext and other sources have been switched over to using the new
regiter value class.

b344843f75ef893762c93fd0a22d2d45712ce74d 24-Mar-2011 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> Fixed the LLDB build so that we can have private types, private enums and
public types and public enums. This was done to keep the SWIG stuff from
parsing all sorts of enums and types that weren't needed, and allows us to
abstract our API better.

a875b64ab8d258b28959d05eea37cb5dfdd72730 09-Jan-2011 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> Put more smarts into the RegisterContext base class. Now the base class has
a method:

void RegisterContext::InvalidateIfNeeded (bool force);

Each time this function is called, when "force" is false, it will only call
the pure virtual "virtual void RegisterContext::InvalideAllRegisters()" if
the register context's stop ID doesn't match that of the process. When the
stop ID doesn't match, or "force" is true, the base class will clear its
cached registers and the RegisterContext will update its stop ID to match
that of the process. This helps make it easier to correctly flush the register
context (possibly from multiple locations depending on when and where new
registers are availabe) without inadvertently clearing the register cache
when it doesn't need to be.

Modified the ProcessGDBRemote plug-in to be much more efficient when it comes
to:
- caching the expedited registers in the stop reply packets (we were ignoring
these before and it was causing us to read at least three registers every
time we stopped that were already supplied in the stop reply packet).
- When a thread has no stop reason, don't keep asking for the thread stopped
info. Prior to this fix we would continually send a qThreadStopInfo packet
over and over when any thread stop info was requested. We now note the stop
ID that the stop info was requested for and avoid multiple requests.

Cleaned up some of the expression code to not look for ClangExpressionVariable
objects up by name since they are now shared pointers and we can just look for
the exact pointer match and avoid possible errors.

Fixed an bug in the ValueObject code that would cause children to not be
displayed.

08d7d3ae16110aa68ed40c161eac8571aeb94cd9 06-Jan-2011 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> Fixed issues with RegisterContext classes and the subclasses. There was
an issue with the way the UnwindLLDB was handing out RegisterContexts: it
was making shared pointers to register contexts and then handing out just
the pointers (which would get put into shared pointers in the thread and
stack frame classes) and cause double free issues. MallocScribble helped to
find these issues after I did some other cleanup. To help avoid any
RegisterContext issue in the future, all code that deals with them now
returns shared pointers to the register contexts so we don't end up with
multiple deletions. Also now that the RegisterContext class doesn't require
a stack frame, we patched a memory leak where a StackFrame object was being
created and leaked.

Made the RegisterContext class not have a pointer to a StackFrame object as
one register context class can be used for N inlined stack frames so there is
not a 1 - 1 mapping. Updates the ExecutionContextScope part of the
RegisterContext class to never return a stack frame to indicate this when it
is asked to recreate the execution context. Now register contexts point to the
concrete frame using a concrete frame index. Concrete frames are all of the
frames that are actually formed on the stack of a thread. These concrete frames
can be turned into one or more user visible frames due to inlining. Each
inlined stack frame has the exact same register context (shared via shared
pointers) as any parent inlined stack frames all the way up to the concrete
frame itself.

So now the stack frames and the register contexts should behave much better.

8280cbe80c79bc206335831dd732e0f9fb69c519 25-Oct-2010 Jason Molenda <jmolenda@apple.com> Check in the native lldb unwinder.

Not yet enabled as the default unwinder but there are no known
backtrace problems with the code at this point.

Added 'log enable lldb unwind' to help diagnose backtrace problems;
this output needs a little refining but it's a good first step.

eh_frame information is currently read unconditionally - the code
is structured to allow this to be delayed until it's actually needed.
There is a performance hit when you have to parse the eh_frame
information for any largeish executable/library so it's necessary
to avoid if possible.

It's confusing having both the UnwindPlan::RegisterLocation struct
and the RegisterConextLLDB::RegisterLocation struct, I need to rename
one of them.

The writing of registers isn't done in the RegisterConextLLDB subclass
yet; neither is the running of complex DWARF expressions from eh_frame
(e.g. used for _sigtramp on Mac OS X).

a830adbcd63d1995a01e6e18da79893c1426ca43 04-Oct-2010 Greg Clayton <gclayton@apple.com> There are now to new "settings set" variables that live in each debugger
instance:

settings set frame-format <string>
settings set thread-format <string>

This allows users to control the information that is seen when dumping
threads and frames. The default values are set such that they do what they
used to do prior to changing over the the user defined formats.

This allows users with terminals that can display color to make different
items different colors using the escape control codes. A few alias examples
that will colorize your thread and frame prompts are:

settings set frame-format 'frame #${frame.index}: \033[0;33m${frame.pc}\033[0m{ \033[1;4;36m${module.file.basename}\033[0;36m ${function.name}{${function.pc-offset}}\033[0m}{ \033[0;35mat \033[1;35m${line.file.basename}:${line.number}}\033[0m\n'

settings set thread-format 'thread #${thread.index}: \033[1;33mtid\033[0;33m = ${thread.id}\033[0m{, \033[0;33m${frame.pc}\033[0m}{ \033[1;4;36m${module.file.basename}\033[0;36m ${function.name}{${function.pc-offset}}\033[0m}{, \033[1;35mstop reason\033[0;35m = ${thread.stop-reason}\033[0m}{, \033[1;36mname = \033[0;36m${thread.name}\033[0m}{, \033[1;32mqueue = \033[0;32m${thread.queue}}\033[0m\n'

A quick web search for "colorize terminal output" should allow you to see what
you can do to make your output look like you want it.

The "settings set" commands above can of course be added to your ~/.lldbinit
file for permanent use.

Changed the pure virtual
void ExecutionContextScope::Calculate (ExecutionContext&);
To:
void ExecutionContextScope::CalculateExecutionContext (ExecutionContext&);

I did this because this is a class that anything in the execution context
heirarchy inherits from and "target->Calculate (exe_ctx)" didn't always tell
you what it was really trying to do unless you look at the parameter.

3a4ea24572fad1e22525f8efb718d49d41e30398 10-Sep-2010 Jason Molenda <jmolenda@apple.com> The first part of an lldb native stack unwinder.

The Unwind and RegisterContext subclasses still need
to be finished; none of this code is used by lldb at
this point (unless you call into it by hand).

The ObjectFile class now has an UnwindTable object.

The UnwindTable object has a series of FuncUnwinders
objects (Function Unwinders) -- one for each function
in that ObjectFile we've backtraced through during this
debug session.

The FuncUnwinders object has a few different UnwindPlans.
UnwindPlans are a generic way of describing how to find
the canonical address of a given function's stack frame
(the CFA idea from DWARF/eh_frame) and how to restore the
caller frame's register values, if they have been saved
by this function.

UnwindPlans are created from different sources. One source is the
eh_frame exception handling information generated by the compiler
for unwinding an exception throw. Another source is an assembly
language inspection class (UnwindAssemblyProfiler, uses the Plugin
architecture) which looks at the instructions in the funciton
prologue and describes the stack movements/register saves that are
done.

Two additional types of UnwindPlans that are worth noting are
the "fast" stack UnwindPlan which is useful for making a first
pass over a thread's stack, determining how many stack frames there
are and retrieving the pc and CFA values for each frame (enough
to create StackFrameIDs). Only a minimal set of registers is
recovered during a fast stack walk.

The final UnwindPlan is an architectural default unwind plan.
These are provided by the ArchDefaultUnwindPlan class (which uses
the plugin architecture). When no symbol/function address range can
be found for a given pc value -- when we have no eh_frame information
and when we don't have a start address so we can't examine the assembly
language instrucitons -- we have to make a best guess about how to
unwind. That's when we use the architectural default UnwindPlan.
On x86_64, this would be to assume that rbp is used as a stack pointer
and we can use that to find the caller's frame pointer and pc value.
It's a last-ditch best guess about how to unwind out of a frame.

There are heuristics about when to use one UnwindPlan versues the other --
this will all happen in the still-begin-written UnwindLLDB subclass of
Unwind which runs the UnwindPlans.
