The new module stats adds the ability to measure the time it takes to parse and index the symbol tables for each module, and reports modules statistics in the output of "statistics dump" along with the path, UUID and triple of the module. The time it takes to parse and index the symbol tables are also aggregated into new top level key/value pairs at the target level.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D112279
This patch is a smaller version of a previous patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D110804.
This patch modifies the output of "statistics dump" to be able to get stats from the current target. It adds 3 new stats as well. The output of "statistics dump" is now emitted as JSON so that it can be used to track performance and statistics and the output could be used to populate a database that tracks performance. Sample output looks like:
(lldb) statistics dump
{
"expressionEvaluation": {
"failures": 0,
"successes": 0
},
"firstStopTime": 0.34164492800000001,
"frameVariable": {
"failures": 0,
"successes": 0
},
"launchOrAttachTime": 0.31969605400000001,
"targetCreateTime": 0.0040863039999999998
}
The top level keys are:
"expressionEvaluation" which replaces the previous stats that were emitted as plain text. This dictionary contains the success and fail counts.
"frameVariable" which replaces the previous stats for "frame variable" that were emitted as plain text. This dictionary contains the success and fail counts.
"targetCreateTime" contains the number of seconds it took to create the target and load dependent libraries (if they were enabled) and also will contain symbol preloading times if that setting is enabled.
"launchOrAttachTime" is the time it takes from when the launch/attach is initiated to when the first private stop occurs.
"firstStopTime" is the time in seconds that it takes to stop at the first stop that is presented to the user via the LLDB interface. This value will only have meaning if you set a known breakpoint or stop location in your code that you want to measure as a performance test.
This diff is also meant as a place to discuess what we want out of the "statistics dump" command before adding more funcionality. It is also meant to clean up the previous code that was storting statistics in a vector of numbers within the lldb_private::Target class.

`Target::GetScratchTypeSystems` returns the list of scratch TypeSystems. The
current implementation is iterating over all LanguageType values and retrieves
the respective TypeSystem for each LanguageType.
All C/C++/Obj-C LanguageTypes are however mapped to the same
ScratchTypeSystemClang instance, so the current implementation adds this single
TypeSystem instance several times to the list of TypeSystems (once for every
LanguageType that we support).
The only observable effect of this is that `SBTarget.FindTypes` for builtin
types currently queries the ScratchTypeSystemClang several times (and also adds
the same result several times).

Modify OpenOptions enum to open the future path into synchronizing
vFile:open bits with GDB. Currently, LLDB and GDB use different flag
models effectively making it impossible to match bits. Notably, LLDB
uses two bits to indicate read and write status, and uses union of both
for read/write. GDB uses a value of 0 for read-only, 1 for write-only
and 2 for read/write.
In order to future-proof the code for the GDB variant:
1. Add a distinct eOpenOptionReadWrite constant to be used instead
of (eOpenOptionRead | eOpenOptionWrite) when R/W access is required.
2. Rename eOpenOptionRead and eOpenOptionWrite to eOpenOptionReadOnly
and eOpenOptionWriteOnly respectively, to make it clear that they
do not mean to be combined and require update to all call sites.
3. Use the intersection of all three flags when matching against
the three possible values.
This commit does not change the actual bits used by LLDB.

Code was added to Target::RunStopHook to make sure that we don't run stop hooks when
you stop after an expression evaluation. But the way it was done was to check that we
hadn't run an expression since the last natural stop. That failed in the case where you
stopped for a breakpoint which had run an expression, because the stop-hooks get run
after the breakpoint actions, and so by the time we got to running the stop-hooks,
we had already run a user expression.
I fixed this by adding a target ivar tracking the last natural stop ID at which we had
run a stop-hook. Then we keep track of this and make sure we run the stop-hooks only
once per natural stop.

This patch changes Target::ReadMemory so the default behavior
when a read is in a Section that is read-only is to fetch the

memory. Update all callers to use their old preferences
(the old prefer_file_cache bool) using the new API; we should
revisit these calls and see if they really intend to read

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.

Some implementations of the DeepCopy function called the copy constructor that copied m_parent member instead of setting a new parent. Others just leaved the base class's members (m_parent, m_callback, m_was_set) empty.
One more problem is that not all classes override this function, e.g. OptionValueArgs::DeepCopy produces OptionValueArray instance, and Target[Process/Thread]ValueProperty::DeepCopy produces OptionValueProperty. This makes downcasting via static_cast invalid.
The patch implements idiom "virtual constructor" to fix these issues.
Add a test that checks DeepCopy for correct copying/setting all data members of the base class.

LLDB uses utility functions to run code in the inferior for its own
internal purposes, such as reading classes from the Objective-C runtime
for example. Because these expressions should be transparent to the
user, we ignore breakpoints and unwind the stack on errors, which
makes them hard to debug.
This patch adds a new setting target.debug-utility-expression that, when
enabled, changes these options to facilitate debugging. It enables
breakpoints, disables unwinding and writes out the utility function
source code to disk so it shows up in the source view.

This reverts commit a01b26fb51, because it
breaks the "finish" command in some way -- the command does not
terminate after it steps out, but continues running the target. The
exact blast radius is not clear, but it at least affects the usage of
the "finish" command in TestGuiBasicDebug.py. The error is *not*
gui-related, as the same issue can be reproduced by running the same
steps outside of the gui.
There is some kind of a race going on, as the test fails only 20% of the
time on the buildbot.
Currently, the interpreter's context is not updated until a command is executed.
This has resulted in the behavior of SB-interface functions and some commands
depends on previous user actions. The interpreter's context can stay uninitialized,
point to a currently selected target, or point to one of previously selected targets.
This patch removes any usages of CommandInterpreter::UpdateExecutionContext.
CommandInterpreter::HandleCommand* functions still may override context temporarily,
but now they always restore it before exiting. CommandInterpreter saves overriden
contexts to the stack, that makes nesting commands possible.
Added test reproduces one of the issues. Without this fix, the last assertion fails
because interpreter's execution context is empty until running "target list", so,
the value of the global property was updated instead of process's local instance.

By now LLDB can import the 'std' C++ module to improve expression evaluation,
but there are still a few problems to solve before we can do this by default.
One is that importing the C++ module is slightly slower than normal expression
evaluation (mostly because the disk access and loading the initial lookup data
is quite slow in comparison to the barebone Clang setup the rest of the LLDB
expression evaluator is usually doing). Another problem is that some complicated
types in the standard library aren't fully supported yet by the ASTImporter, so
we end up types that fail to import (which usually appears to the user as if the
type is empty or there is just no result variable).
To still allow people to adopt this mode in their daily debugging, this patch
adds a setting that allows LLDB to automatically retry failed expression with a
loaded C++ module. All success expressions will behave exactly as they would do
before this patch. Failed expressions get a another parse attempt if we find a
usable C++ module in the current execution context. This way we shouldn't have
any performance/parsing regressions in normal debugging workflows, while the
debugging workflows involving STL containers benefit from the C++ module type
info.
This setting is off by default for now with the intention to enable it by
default on macOS soon-ish.
The implementation is mostly just extracting the existing parse logic into its
own function and then calling the parse function again if the first evaluation
failed and we have a C++ module to retry the parsing with.

The various GetSharedModule methods have an optional out parameter for
the old module when a file has changed or been replaced, which the
Target uses to keep its module list current/correct. We've been using
a single ModuleSP to track "the" old module, and this change switches
to using a SmallVector of ModuleSP, which has a couple benefits:
- There are multiple codepaths which may discover an old module, and
this centralizes the code for how to handle multiples in one place,
in the Target code. With the single ModuleSP, each place that may
discover an old module is responsible for how it handles multiples,
and the current code is inconsistent (some code paths drop the first
old module, others drop the second).
- The API will be more natural for identifying old modules in routines
that work on sets, like ModuleList::ReplaceEquivalent (which I plan
on updating to report old module(s) in a subsequent change to fix a
bug).
I'm not convinced we can ever actually run into the case that multiple
old modules are found in the same GetOrCreateModule call, but I think
this change makes sense regardless, in light of the above.
When an old module is reported, Target::GetOrCreateModule calls
m_images.ReplaceModule, which doesn't allow multiple "old" modules; the
new code calls ReplaceModule for the first "old" module, and for any
subsequent old modules it logs the event and calls m_images.Remove.

While debugging another bug I found out that we currently don't set any limit
for the number of diagnostics Clang emits. If a user does something that
generates a lot of errors (like including some long header file from within the
expression function), then we currently spam the LLDB output with potentially
thousands of Clang error diagnostics.
Clang sets a default limit of 20 errors, but given that LLDB is often used
interactively for small expressions I would say a limit of 5 is enough. The
limit is implemented as a setting, so if a user cares about seeing having a
million errors printed to their terminal then they can just increase the
settings value.
