Add a function to make it easier to debug a test failure caused by an
unexpected state.
Currently, tests are using assertEqual which results in a cryptic error
message: "AssertionError: 5 != 10". Even when a test provides a message
to make it clear why a particular state is expected, you still have to
figure out which of the two was the expected state, and what the other
value corresponds to.
We have a function in lldbutil that helps you convert the state number
into a user readable string. This patch adds a wrapper around
assertEqual specifically for comparing states and reporting better error
messages.
The aforementioned error message now looks like this: "AssertionError:
stopped (5) != exited (10)". If the user provided a message, that
continues to get printed as well.

In order to avoid stranding the Objective-C runtime lock, we switched
from objc_copyRealizedClassList to its non locking variant
objc_copyRealizedClassList_nolock. Not taking the lock was relatively
safe because we run this expression on one thread only, but it was still
possible that someone was in the middle of modifying this list while we
were trying to read it. Worst case that would result in a crash in the
inferior without side-effects and we'd unwind and try again later.
With the introduction of macOS Ventura, we can use
objc_getRealizedClassList_trylock instead. It has semantics similar to
objc_copyRealizedClassList_nolock, but instead of not locking at all,
the function returns if the lock is already taken, which avoids the
aforementioned crash without stranding the Objective-C runtime lock.
Because LLDB gets to allocate the underlying memory we also avoid
stranding the malloc lock.

This patch moves the platform creation and selection logic into the
per-debugger platform lists. I've tried to keep functional changes to a
minimum -- the main (only) observable difference in this change is that
APIs, which select a platform by name (e.g.,
Debugger::SetCurrentPlatform) will not automatically pick up a platform
associated with another debugger (or no debugger at all).
I've also added several tests for this functionality -- one of the

When opening core files (and also in some other situations) we could end
up with two vdso modules. This could happen because the vdso module is
very special, and over the years, we have accumulated various ways to
load it.
In D10800, we added one mechanism for loading it, which took the form of
a generic load-from-memory capability. Unfortunately loading an elf file
from memory is not possible (because the loader never loads the entire
file), and our attempts to do so were causing crashes. So, in D34352, we
partially reverted D10800 and implemented a custom mechanism specific to
the vdso.
Unfortunately, enough of D10800 remained such that, under the right
circumstances, it could end up loading a second (non-functional) copy of
the vdso module. This happened when the process plugin did not support
the extended MemoryRegionInfo query (added in D22219, to workaround a
different bug), which meant that the loader plugin was not able to
recognise that the linux-vdso.so.1 module (this is how the loader calls
it) is in fact the same as the [vdso] module (the name used in
/proc/$PID/maps) we loaded before. This typically happened in a core
file, as they don't store this kind of information.
This patch fixes the issue by completing the revert of D10800 -- the
memory loading code is removed completely. It also reduces the scope of
the hackaround introduced in D22219 -- it isn't completely sound and is
only relevant for fairly old (but still supported) versions of android.
I added the memory loading logic to the wasm dynamic loader, which has
since appeared and is relying on this feature (it even has a test). As
far as I can tell loading wasm modules from memory is possible and
reliable. MachO memory loading is not affected by this patch, as it uses
a completely different code path.
Since the scenarios/patches I described came without test cases, I have
created two new gdb-client tests cases for them. They're not
particularly readable, but right now, this is the best way we can
simulate the behavior (bugs) of a particular dynamic linker.

This recommits dddf4ce03, which was reverted because of a couple of test
failures on macos. The reason behind the failures was that the patch
inadvertenly changed the value returned by the host platform from
"macosx" to "darwin". The new version fixes that.
Original commit message was:
The decision which categories are relevant for a particular test run
happen very early in the test setup process. They use the SBPlatform
object to determine which categories should be skipped. The platform
object created for this purpose transcends individual test runs.
This setup is not compatible with the direction discussed in

-- when platform objects are tied to a specific (SB)Debugger, they need
to be created alongside it, which currently happens in the test setUp
method.
This patch is the first step in that direction -- it rewrites the
category skipping logic to avoid depending on a global SBPlatform
object. Fortunately, the skipping logic is fairly simple (and I believe
it outght to stay that way) and mainly consists of comparing the
platform name against some hardcoded lists. This patch bases this
comparison on the platform name instead of the os part of the triple (as
reported by the platform).

By default these timeouts are extremely small (0.1s). This means that
100ms after sending an EOF, pexpect will start sending the process
increasingly aggressive signals, but the small timeouts mean that (on a
loaded machine) the kernel may not have enough time to process the
signal even if the overall effect of the signal is to kill the
application.
It turns out we were already relying on this signals (instead of regular
EOF quits) in our tests. In my experiments it was sufficient to block
SIGINT and SIGHUP to cause some test to become flaky. This was most
likely the reason of a couple of flakes on the lldb-x86_64-debian bot,
and is probably the reason why the pexpect tests are flaky on several
other (e.g. asan) bots.
This patch increses the timeout to 6 seconds (60-fold increase), which
is hopefully sufficient to avoid flakes even in the most extreme
situations.
This patch introduces a generic helper class that will listen for

Our SIGTSTP handler was working, but that was mostly accidental.
The reason it worked is because lldb is multithreaded for most of its
lifetime and the OS is reasonably fast at responding to signals. So,
what happened was that the kill(SIGTSTP) which we sent from inside the
handler was delivered to another thread while the handler was still set
to SIG_DFL (which then correctly put the entire process to sleep).
Sometimes it happened that the other thread got the second signal after
the first thread had already restored the handler, in which case the
signal handler would run again, and it would again attempt to send the
SIGTSTP signal back to itself.
Normally it didn't take many iterations for the signal to be delivered
quickly enough. However, if you were unlucky (or were playing around
with pexpect) you could get SIGTSTP while lldb was single-threaded, and
in that case, lldb would go into an endless loop because the second
SIGTSTP could only be handled on the main thread, and only after the
handler for the first signal returned (and re-installed itself). In that
situation the handler would keep re-sending the signal to itself.
This patch fixes the issue by implementing the handler the way it
supposed to be done:
- before sending the second SIGTSTP, we unblock the signal (it gets
automatically blocked upon entering the handler)
- we use raise to send the signal, which makes sure it gets delivered to
the thread which is running the handler
This also means we don't need the SIGCONT handler, as our TSTP handler
resumes right after the entire process is continued, and we can do the
required work there.
I also include a test case for the SIGTSTP flow. It uses pexpect, but it
includes a couple of extra twists. Specifically, I needed to create an
extra process on top of lldb, which will run lldb in a separate process
group and simulate the role of the shell. This is needed because SIGTSTP
is not effective on a session leader (the signal gets delivered, but it
does not cause a stop) -- normally there isn't anyone to notice the
stop.

The race is between these two pieces of code that are executed in two separate
lldb-vscode threads (the first is in the main thread and another is in the
event-handling thread):
```
// lldb-vscode.cpp
g_vsc.debugger.SetAsync(false);
g_vsc.target.Launch(launch_info, error);
g_vsc.debugger.SetAsync(true);
```
```
// Target.cpp
bool old_async = debugger.GetAsyncExecution();
debugger.SetAsyncExecution(true);
debugger.GetCommandInterpreter().HandleCommands(GetCommands(), exc_ctx,
options, result);
debugger.SetAsyncExecution(old_async);
```
The sequence that leads to the bug is this one:
1. Main thread enables synchronous mode and launches the process.
2. When the process is launched, it generates the first stop event.
3. This stop event is catched by the event-handling thread and DoOnRemoval
is invoked.
4. Inside DoOnRemoval, this thread runs stop hooks. And before running stop
hooks, the current synchronization mode is stored into old_async (and
right now it is equal to "false").
5. The main thread finishes the launch and returns to lldb-vscode, the
synchronization mode is restored to asynchronous by lldb-vscode.
6. Event-handling thread finishes stop hooks processing and restores the
synchronization mode according to old_async (i.e. makes the mode synchronous)
7. And now the mode is synchronous while lldb-vscode expects it to be
asynchronous. Synchronous mode forbids the process to broadcast public stop
events, so, VS Code just hangs because lldb-vscode doesn't notify it about
stops.
So, this diff makes the target intercept the first stop event if the process is
launched in the synchronous mode, thus preventing stop hooks execution.
The bug is only present on Windows because other platforms already
intercept this event using their own hijacking listeners.
So, this diff also fixes some problems with lldb-vscode tests on Windows to make
it possible to run the related test. Other tests still can't be enabled because
the debugged program prints something into stdout and LLDB can't intercept this
output and redirect it to lldb-vscode properly.

We discovered that when using "launchCommands" or "attachCommands" that there was an issue where these commands were not being run synchronously. There were further problems in this case where we would get thread events for the process that was just launched or attached before the IDE was ready, which is after "configurationDone" was sent to lldb-vscode.
This fix introduces the ability to wait for the process to stop after the run or attach to ensure that we have a stopped process at the entry point that is ready for the debug session to proceed. This also allows us to run the normal launch or attach without needing to play with the async flag the debugger. We spin up the thread that listens for process events before we start the launch or attach, but we stop the first eStateStopped (with stop ID of zero) event from being delivered through the DAP protocol because the "configurationDone" request handler will deliver it manually as the IDE expects a stop after configuration done. The request_configurationDone will also only deliver the stop packet if the "stopOnEntry" is False in the launch configuration.
Also added a new "timeout" to the launch and attach launch configuration arguments that can be set and defaults to 30 seconds. Since we now poll to detect when the process is stopped, we need a timeout that can be changed in case certain workflows take longer that 30 seconds to attach. If the process is not stopped by the timeout, an error will be retured for the launch or attach.
Added a flag to the vscode.py protocol classes that detects and ensures that no "stopped" events are sent prior to "configurationDone" has been sent and will raise an error if it does happen.
This should make our launching and attaching more reliable and avoid some deadlocks that were being seen (https://reviews.llvm.org/D119548).

Instead of using sleeps, have the inferior notify us (via a trap opcode) that

This allows us to get rid of some fairly dodgy test utility code --
wait_for_thread_count seemed like it was waiting for the threads to
appear, but it never actually let the inferior run, so it only succeeded
if the threads were already started when the function was called. Since
the function was called after a fairly small delay (1s, usually), this

It was being used only in some very old tests (which pass even without
it) and its implementation is highly questionable.
These days we have different mechanisms for requesting a build with a
particular kind of c++ library (USE_LIB(STD)CPP in the makefile).
This is an updated version of the https://reviews.llvm.org/D113789 patch with the following changes:
- We no longer modify modification times of the cache files
- Use LLVM caching and cache pruning instead of making a new cache mechanism (See DataFileCache.h/.cpp)
- Add signature to start of each file since we are not using modification times so we can tell when caches are stale and remove and re-create the cache file as files are changed
- Add settings to control the cache size, disk percentage and expiration in days to keep cache size under control
This patch enables symbol tables to be cached in the LLDB index cache directory. All cache files are in a single directory and the files use unique names to ensure that files from the same path will re-use the same file as files get modified. This means as files change, their cache files will be deleted and updated. The modification time of each of the cache files is not modified so that access based pruning of the cache can be implemented.
The symbol table cache files start with a signature that uniquely identifies a file on disk and contains one or more of the following items:
- object file UUID if available
- object file mod time if available
- object name for BSD archive .o files that are in .a files if available
If none of these signature items are available, then the file will not be cached. This keeps temporary object files from expressions from being cached.
When the cache files are loaded on subsequent debug sessions, the signature is compare and if the file has been modified (uuid changes, mod time changes, or object file mod time changes) then the cache file is deleted and re-created.
Module caching must be enabled by the user before this can be used:
symbols.enable-lldb-index-cache (boolean) = false
(lldb) settings set symbols.enable-lldb-index-cache true
There is also a setting that allows the user to specify a module cache directory that defaults to a directory that defaults to being next to the symbols.clang-modules-cache-path directory in a temp directory:
(lldb) settings show symbols.lldb-index-cache-path
/var/folders/9p/472sr0c55l9b20x2zg36b91h0000gn/C/lldb/IndexCache
If this setting is enabled, the finalized symbol tables will be serialized and saved to disc so they can be quickly loaded next time you debug.
Each module can cache one or more files in the index cache directory. The cache file names must be unique to a file on disk and its architecture and object name for .o files in BSD archives. This allows universal mach-o files to support caching multuple architectures in the same module cache directory. Making the file based on the this info allows this cache file to be deleted and replaced when the file gets updated on disk. This keeps the cache from growing over time during the compile/edit/debug cycle and prevents out of space issues.
If the cache is enabled, the symbol table will be loaded from the cache the next time you debug if the module has not changed.
The cache also has settings to control the size of the cache on disk. Each time LLDB starts up with the index cache enable, the cache will be pruned to ensure it stays within the user defined settings:
(lldb) settings set symbols.lldb-index-cache-expiration-days <days>
A value of zero will disable cache files from expiring when the cache is pruned. The default value is 7 currently.
(lldb) settings set symbols.lldb-index-cache-max-byte-size <size>
A value of zero will disable pruning based on a total byte size. The default value is zero currently.
(lldb) settings set symbols.lldb-index-cache-max-percent <percentage-of-disk-space>
A value of 100 will allow the disc to be filled to the max, a value of zero will disable percentage pruning. The default value is zero.
