In the latest OS betas, the objc runtime has a special interface
for the debugger, class_getNameRaw(), instead of the existing
class_getName(), which will return class names in their raw, unmangled
(in the case of swift) form. When lldb can access the unmangled
names of classes, it won't need to fetch them out of the inferior
process after we run our "get the objc class table" expression.
If the new interface is absent (debugging a process on an older
target), lldb will fall back to class_getName and reading any class
names that it got back in demangled form, at a bit of a performance
cost on the first expression.

This is the second patch to improve module loading in a series that started here (where I explain the motivation and solution): https://reviews.llvm.org/D62499
I need to read the aux vector to know where the r_debug map with the loaded libraries are.
The AuxVector class was made generic so it could be reused between the POSIX-DYLD plugin and NativeProcess*. The class itself ended up in the ProcessUtility plugin.

llvm-svn: 362984
Summary:
This is the first of a few patches I have to improve the performance of dynamic module loading on Android.
In this first diff I'll describe the context of my main motivation and will then link to it in the other diffs to avoid repeating myself.
## Motivation
I have a few scenarios where opening a specific feature on an Android app takes around 40s when lldb is attached to it. The reason for that is because 40 modules are dynamicly loaded at that point in time and each one of them is taking ~1s.
## The problem
To learn about new modules we have a breakpoint on a linker function that is called twice whenever a module is loaded. One time just before it's loaded (so lldb can check which modules are loaded) and another right after it's loaded (so lldb can check again which ones are loaded and calculate the diference).
It's figuring out which modules are loaded that is taking quite some time. This is currently done by traversing the linked list of loaded shared libraries that the linker maintains in memory. Each item in the linked list requires its own `x` packet sent to the gdb server (this is android so the network also plays a part). In my scenario there are 400+ loaded libraries and even though we read 0x800 worth of bytes at a time we still make ~180 requests that end up taking 150-200ms.
We also do this twice, once before the module is loaded (state = eAdd) and another right after (state = eConsistent) which easly adds up to ~400ms per module.
## A solution
**Implement `xfer:libraries-svr4` in lldb-server:**
I noticed in the code that loads the new modules that it had support for the `xfer:libraries-svr4` packet (added ~4 years ago to support the ds2 debug server) but we didn't support it in lldb-server. This single packet returns an xml list of all the loaded modules by the process. The advantage is that there's no more need to make 180 requests to read the linked list. Additionally this new requests takes around 10ms.
**More efficient usage of the `xfer:libraries-svr4` packet in lldb:**
When `xfer:libraries-svr4` is available the Process class has a `LoadModules` function that requests this packet and then loads or unloads modules based on the current list of loaded modules by the process.
This is the function that is used by the DYLDRendezvous class to get the list of loaded modules before and after the module is loaded. However, this is really not needed since the LoadModules function already loaded or unloaded the modules accordingly. I changed this strategy to call LoadModules only once (after the process has loaded the module).
**Bugs**
I found a few issues in lldb while implementing this and have submitted independent patches for them.
I tried to devide this into multiple logical patches to make it easier to review and discuss.
## Tests
I wanted to put these set of diffs up before having all the tests up and running to start having them reviewed from a techical point of view. I'm also having some trouble making the tests running on linux so I need more time to make that happen.
# This diff
The `xfer` packages follow the same protocol, they are requested with `xfer:<object>:<read|write>:<annex>:<offset,length>` and a return that starts with `l` or `m` depending if the offset and length covers the entire data or not. Before implementing the `xfer:libraries-svr4` I refactored the `xfer:auxv` to generically handle xfer packets so we can easly add new ones.
The overall structure of the function ends up being:
* Parse the packet into its components: object, offset etc.
* Depending on the object do its own logic to generate the data.
* Return the data based on its size, the requested offset and length.

This reverts commit 58afc1bdebf9fa8b178d6c9d89af94c5cc091760.
This commit caused the test suite on macOS to fail many tests. It
appears that setting breakpoints is the issue. One example that fails
is the lit test Breakpoint/case-sensitive.test.
llvm-svn: 362862
Problem discovered in the breakpoint lit test, but probably exists in others.
lldb-test splits lines on LF. Input files that are CR+LF separated (as is
common on Windows) then resulted in commands being sent to LLDB that ended
in CR, which confused the command interpreter.
This could be fixed at different levels:
1. Treat '\r' like a tab or space in the argument splitter.
2. Fix the line splitters (plural) in lldb-test.
3. Normalize the test files to LF only.
If we did only 3, I'd expect similar problems to recur, so this patch does
1 and 2. I may also do 3 in a separate patch later, but that's tricky
because I believe we have some input files that MUST use CR+LF.

Summary:
Allow to run the test suite when building LLDB Standalone with Xcode against a provided LLVM build-tree that used a single-configuration generator like Ninja.
So far both test drivers, lit-based `check-lldb` as well as `lldb-dotest`, were looking for test dependencies (clang/dsymutil/etc.) in a subdirectory with the configuration name (Debug/Release/etc.). It was implicitly assuming that both, LLDB and the provided LLVM used the same generator. In practice, however, the opposite is quite common: build the dependencies with Ninja and LLDB with Xcode for development*. With this patch it becomes the default.
(* In fact, it turned out that the Xcode<->Xcode variant didn't even build out of the box. It's fixed since D62879)
Once this is sound, I'm planning the following steps:
* add stage to the [lldb-cmake-standalone bot](http://green.lab.llvm.org/green/view/LLDB/job/lldb-cmake-standalone/) to build and test it
* update `Building LLDB with Xcode` section in the docs
* bring the same mechanism to swift-lldb
* fade out the manually maintained Xcode project
On macOS build and test like this:

Summary:
Once we've attached to the process we load all current modules and also set a breakpoint at the rendezvous break address.
However, we don't do this if we already have a load address for the image info address (e.g.: DT_DEBUG on ELF). This code was added 4 years ago when adding support for `$qXfer:Libraries:` packet (https://reviews.llvm.org/D9471) but its intention is not 100% clear to me. It seems to me we're using that check to know if the modules have already been loaded (which they have if `$qXfer:Libraries:` is supported by the gdb server) and skip loading the modules again in the following `if` block. The problem is that we also skip setting the Rendezvous breakpoint so we stop knowing when the process loads new modules.
I fix this by moving the call to set the breakpoint to the end of the function so we always call it as long as we have a valid executable.

If the provided LLVM build-tree used a multi-configuration generator like Xcode, `LLVM_TOOLS_BINARY_DIR` will have a generator-specific placeholder to express `CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR`. Thus `llvm-lit` and `llvm-tblgen` won't be found.
D62878 exports the actual configuration types so we can fix the path and add them to the search paths for `find_program()`.

Summary:
r362103 exposed a bug, where we could read incorrect data if a skeleton
unit contained more than the single unit DIE. Clang emits these kinds of
units with -fsplit-dwarf-inlining (which is also the default).
Changing lldb to handle these DIEs is nontrivial, as we'd have to change
the UID encoding logic to be able to reference these DIEs, and fix up
various places which are assuming that all DIEs come from the separate
compile unit.
However, it turns out this is not necessary, as the DWO unit contains
all the information that the skeleton unit does. So, this patch just
skips parsing the extra DIEs if we have successfully found the DWO file.
This enforces the invariant that the rest of the code is already
operating under.
This patch fixes a couple of existing tests, but I've also included a
simpler test which does not depend on execution of binaries, and would
have helped us in catching this sooner.

Summary:
I want to remove this method because I think that Process should be
language agnostic, or at least, not have knowledge about specific language
runtimes. There is "GetLanguageRuntime()" which should be used instead. If the
caller a CPPLanguageRuntime, they should cast it as needed. Ideally, this
should only happen in plugins that need C++ specific knowledge.
The next step I would like to do is remove "GetObjCLanguageRuntime()" as well.
There are a lot more instances of that function being used, so I wanted to
upload this one first to get the general reception to this idea.

The x86 assembly inspection engine has code to support detecting a
mid-function epilogue that ends in a RET instruction; add support for
recognizing an epilogue that ends in a JMP, and add a check that the
unwind state has been restored to the original stack setup; reinstate
the post-prologue unwind state after this JMP instruction.
The assembly inspection engine used for other architectures,
UnwindAssemblyInstEmulation, detects mid-function epilogues by
tracking branch instructions within the function and "forwards"
the current unwind state to the targets of the branches. If
an epilogue unwinds the stack and exits, followed by a branch
target, we get back to the correct unwind state. The x86
unwinder should move to this same algorithm, or possibly even
look at implementing an x86 instruction emulation plugin and
get UnwindAssemblyInstEmulation to work for x86 too. I added
a branch instruction recognizier method that will be necessary
if we want to switch the algorithm.

Summary:
My main goal here is to make lldb-server work with Android Studio.
This is currently not the case because lldb-server is started in platform mode listening on a domain socket. When Android Studio connects to it lldb-server crashes because even though it's listening on a domain socket as soon as it gets a connection it asserts that it's a TCP connection, which will obviously fails for any non-tcp connection.
To do this I came up with a new method called GetConnectURI() in Socket that returns the URI needed to connect to the connected portion of the socket.
