This extends the "memory region" command to
show tagged regions on AArch64 Linux when the MTE
extension is enabled.
(lldb) memory region the_page
[0x0000fffff7ff8000-0x0000fffff7ff9000) rw-
memory tagging: enabled
This is done by adding an optional "flags" field to
the qMemoryRegion packet. The only supported flag is
"mt" but this can be extended.
This "mt" flag is read from /proc/{pid}/smaps on Linux,
other platforms will leave out the "flags" field.
Where this "mt" flag is received "memory region" will
show that it is enabled. If it is not or the target
doesn't support memory tagging, the line is not shown.
(since majority of the time tagging will not be enabled)
Testing is added for the existing /proc/{pid}/maps
parsing and the new smaps parsing.
Minidump parsing has been updated where needed,
though it only uses maps not smaps.
Target specific tests can be run with QEMU and I have
added MTE flags to the existing helper scripts.

Depends on D89283.
The goal of this packet (jTraceGetSupportedType) is to be able to query the gdb-server for the tracing technology that can work for the current debuggeer, which can make the user experience simpler but allowing the user to simply type
thread trace start
to start tracing the current thread without even telling the debugger to use "intel-pt", for example. Similarly, `thread trace start [args...]` would accept args beloging to the working trace type.
Also, if the user typed
help thread trace start
We could directly show the help information of the trace type that is supported for the target, or mention instead that no tracing is supported, if that's the case.
I added some simple tests, besides, when I ran this on my machine with intel-pt support, I got
$ process plugin packet send "jTraceSupportedType"
packet: jTraceSupportedType
response: {"description":"Intel Processor Trace","pluginName":"intel-pt"}
On a machine without intel-pt support, I got
$ process plugin packet send "jTraceSupportedType"
packet: jTraceSupportedType
response: E00;

The statement that lldb-server can handle
decimal and hex numbers is misleading.
(it can only handle hex with 0x prefix)
Mentioning non decimal numbers at all
is just creating more confusion for anyone
who tries to use them with lldb-server.

In a discussion with Jim last week we came to the realization that often
we get asked about things that might not be documented on the website,
but that have been pretty well explained elsewhere. In those situations
it's often easier to quickly answer the question than searching for that
presentation you gave 3 years ago if you remember at all.
This often results in us having to answer the same questions over and
over again. We could add the questions and their answer to the website,
but that means we (1) have to duplicate the work and (2) now have to
maintain it.
A more efficient solution is to add a page with external resources with
the caveat that they might be outdated. That's exactly the purpose of
this patch.
I've added a few links that came to mind, but I don't want to be the
arbiter of what should and should not be included. I'd hope that over
time the community can crowd-source the best resources.

This patch adds a HowTo document to lldb docs which gives instruction for
setting up a virtual environment based on QEMU emulator for LLDB testing.
Instruction in this document are tested on Arm and AArch64 targets but
can easily be duplicated for other targets supported by QEMU.
This helps test LLDB in absence for modern AArch64 features not released
in publicly available hardware till date.

Create a "Design" section for the LLDB documentation. The goal is to
have design documents that describe how the LLDB internals work.
Currently similar pages are mixed together under the "Development". The
existing pages describing the architecture, the reproducers, the
structured data plugins, and the SB API could be housed here. I hope
we'd see more pages being added here in the future.

The `macos-setup-codesign.sh` script has been in place for over two years. If there are no known issues, it's a good time to drop the manual steps from the docs.

This reverts commit f775fe5964.
I fixed a return type error in the original patch that was causing a test failure.
Also added a REQUIRES: python to the shell test so we'll skip this for
people who build lldb w/o Python.
Also added another test for the error printing.
This enables support for writing LLDB documentation in markdown in
addition to reStructured text. We already had documentation written in
markdown (StructuredDataPlugins and DarwinLog) which will now also be
available on the website.
This patch changes the command interpreter sourcing logic for the REPL
init file. Instead of looking for a arbitrary file name, it standardizes
the REPL init file name to match to following scheme:
`.lldbinit-<language>-repl`
This will make the naming more homogenous and the sourcing logic future-proof.

This patch adds the infrastructure to have language specific REPL init
files. It's the foundation work to a following patch that will introduce
Swift REPL init file.
When lldb is launched with the `--repl` option, it will look for a REPL
init file in the home directory and source it. This overrides the
default `~/.lldbinit`, which content might make the REPL behave
unexpectedly. If the REPL init file doesn't exists, lldb will fall back
to the default init file.

Separate the CMake logic for Lua and Python to clearly distinguish
between code specific to either scripting language and the code shared
by both.
What this patch does is:
- Move Python specific code into the bindings/python subdirectory.
- Move the Lua specific code into the bindings/lua subdirectory.
- Add the _python suffix to Python specific functions/targets.
- Fix a dependency issue that would check the binding instead of
whether the scripting language is enabled.
Note that this patch also changes where the bindings are generated,
which might affect downstream projects that check them in.

Jim pointed out that "every time somebody has touched the documentation
on startup files they have stated that we source the application one and
then the global one, even though in actual fact we’ve never done that."
Indeed, when we read the application specific .lldbinit file, the global
one is not read. This patch updates the man page to reflect that.
This adds a new target `check-lldb-reproducers` that replaces the old
`check-lldb-repro`. The latter would only run the shell tests, while
`check-lldb-reproducers` includes the API tests as well. The new target
will be used on GreenDragon.
It's still possible to run just the shell tests with reproducers,
although now that requires crafting the lit invocation yourself. The
parameters haven't changed and are the shame for the API and shell
tests:
--param lldb-run-with-repro=capture
--param lldb-run-with-repro=replay
This patch also updates the reproducer documentation.
Before the transition to libOption it was possible to specify arguments
for the inferior without -- as long as they didn't start with a dash.
For example, the following invocations should all behave the same:
$ lldb inferior inferior-arg
$ lldb inferior -- inferior-arg
$ lldb -- inferior inferior-arg
This patch fixes that behavior, documents it and adds a test to cover
the different combinations.

Expand on the structure of the LLDB test suite. So far this information
has been mostly "tribal knowledge". By writing it down I hope to make it
easier to understand our test suite for anyone that's new to the
project.
Haibo told me he didn't have any issues with Python 3.8 and I was able
to confirm that. Even though we don't have bot running with 3.8, I think
it safe to mark it as supported in the docs.
Summary: The logic of the sentence made more sense when "with" is replaced with "without".
