D116372, while fixing one kind of a race, ended up creating a new one.
The new issue could occur when one inferior thread exits while another
thread initiates termination of the entire process (exit_group(2)).
With some bad luck, we could start processing the exit notification
(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT) only to have the become unresponsive (ESRCH) in the
middle of the MonitorCallback function. This function would then delete
the thread from our list even though it wasn't completely dead (it stays
zombified until we read the WIFEXITED event). The linux kernel will not
deliver the exited event for the entire process until we process
individual thread exits.
In a pre-D116372 world, this wouldn't be a problem because we would read
this event (even though we would not know what to do with it) with
waitpid(-1). Now, when we issue invididual waitpids, this event will
never be picked up, and we end up hanging.
The fix for this is actually quite simple -- don't delete the thread in
this situation. The thread will be deleted when the WIFEXITED event
comes.
This situation was kind of already tested by
TestCreateDuringInstructionStep (which is how I found this problem), but
it was mostly accidental, so I am also creating a dedicated test which
reproduces this situation.
This allows access type be printed when running `lldb-test -dump-ast` and
`lldb-test -dump-clang-ast`.

Unlike the rest of our SB objects, SBEvent and SBCommandReturnObject
have the ability to hold non-owning pointers to their non-SB
counterparts. This makes it hard to ensure the SB objects do not become
dangling once their backing object goes away.
While we could make these two objects behave like others, that would
require plubming even more shared pointers through our internal code
(Event objects are mostly prepared for it, CommandReturnObject are not).
Doing so seems unnecessarily disruptive, given that (unlike for some of
the other objects) I don't see any good reason why would someone want to
hold onto these objects after the function terminates.
For that reason, this patch implements a different approach -- the SB
objects will still hold non-owning pointers, but they will be reset to
the empty/default state as soon as the function terminates. This python
code will not crash if the user decides to store these objects -- but
the objects themselves will be useless/empty.

Implementation is based on the "expected type" as used for
designated-initializers in braced init lists. This means it can deduce the type
in some cases where it's not written:
void foo(Widget);
foo({ /*help here*/ });
Only basic constructor calls are in scope of this patch, excluded are:
- aggregate initialization (no help is offered for aggregates)
- initializer_list initialization (no help is offered for these constructors)

Both serve the same purpose (finding shared libraries) and allow one to
launch a dynamically linked executable by just specifying the platform
sysroot.
The lldb-server code is currently set up in a way that each
NativeProcess instance does its own waitpid handling. This works fine
for BSDs, where the code can do a waitpid(process_id), and get
information for all threads in that process.
The situation is trickier on linux, because waitpid(pid) will only
return information for the main thread of the process (one whose tid ==
pid). For this reason the linux code does a waitpid(-1), to get
information for all threads. This was fine while we were supporting just
a single process, but becomes a problem when we have multiple processes
as they end up stealing each others events.
There are two possible solutions to this problem:
- call waitpid(-1) centrally, and then dispatch the events to the
appropriate process
- have each process call waitpid(tid) for all the threads it manages
This patch implements the second approach. Besides fitting better into
the existing design, it also has the added benefit of ensuring
predictable ordering for thread/process creation events (which come in
pairs -- one for the parent and one for the child). The first approach
OTOH, would make this ordering even more complicated since we would
have to keep the half-threads hanging in mid-air until we find the
process we should attach them to.
The downside to this approach is an increased number of syscalls (one
waitpid for each thread), but I think we're pretty far from optimizing
things like this, and so the cleanliness of the design is worth it.
The included test reproduces the circumstances which should demonstrate
the bug (which manifests as a hung test), but I have not been able to
get it to fail. The only place I've seen this failure modes are very
rare hangs in the thread sanitizer tests (tsan forks an addr2line
process to produce its error messages).

This small patch adds two useful improvements:
- allows one to specify the emulator path as a bare filename, and have
it be looked up in the PATH
- allows one to leave the path empty and have the filename be derived
from the architecture.
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).
The MonitorCallback function was assuming that the "exited" argument is
set whenever a thread exits, but the caller was only setting that flag
for the main thread.
This patch deletes the argument altogether, and lets MonitorCallback
compute what it needs itself.
This is almost NFC, since previously we would end up in the
"GetSignalInfo failed for unknown reasons" branch, which was doing the
same thing -- forgetting about the thread.
Remove the Mangled::operator! and Mangled::operator void* where the
comments in header and implementation files disagree and replace them
with operator bool.
This fix PR52702 as https://reviews.llvm.org/D106837 used the buggy
Mangled::operator! in Symbol::SynthesizeNameIfNeeded. For example,
consider the symbol "puts" in a hello world C program:
// Inside Symbol::SynthesizeNameIfNeeded
(lldb) p m_mangled
(lldb_private::Mangled) $0 = (m_mangled = None, m_demangled = "puts")
(lldb) p !m_mangled
(bool) $1 = true # should be false!!
This leads to Symbol::SynthesizeNameIfNeeded overwriting m_demangled
part of Mangled (in this case "puts").
In conclusion, this patch turns
callq 0x401030 ; symbol stub for: ___lldb_unnamed_symbol36
back into
callq 0x401030 ; symbol stub for: puts .

Now that we are caching the dwarf index as well, we will always have
more than one cache file (when not using accelerator tables). I have
adjusted the test to check for the presence of one _symtab_ index.
Multithreaded applications using fork(2) need to be extra careful about
what they do in the fork child. Without any special precautions (which
only really work if you can fully control all threads) they can only
safely call async-signal-safe functions. This is because the forked
child will contain snapshot of the parents memory at a random moment in
the execution of all of the non-forking threads (this is where the
similarity with signals comes in).
For example, the other threads could have been holding locks that can
now never be released in the child process and any attempt to obtain
them would block. This is what sometimes happen when using tcmalloc --
our fork child ends up hanging in the memory allocation routine. It is
also what happened with our logging code, which is why we added a
pthread_atfork hackaround.
This patch implements a proper fix to the problem, by which is to make
the child code async-signal-safe. The ProcessLaunchInfo structure is
transformed into a simpler ForkLaunchInfo representation, one which can
be read without allocating memory and invoking complex library
functions.
Strictly speaking this implementation is not async-signal-safe, as it
still invokes library functions outside of the posix-blessed set of
entry points. Strictly adhering to the spec would mean reimplementing a
lot of the functionality in pure C, so instead I rely on the fact that
any reasonable implementation of some functions (e.g.,
basic_string::c_str()) will not start allocating memory or doing other
unsafe things.
The new child code does not call into our logging infrastructure, which
enables us to remove the pthread_atfork call from there.

This patch add the ability to cache the manual DWARF indexing results to disk for faster subsequent debug sessions. Manual DWARF indexing is time consuming and causes all DWARF to be fully parsed and indexed each time you debug a binary that doesn't have an acceptable accelerator table. Acceptable accelerator tables include .debug_names in DWARF5 or Apple accelerator tables.
This patch breaks up testing by testing all of the encoding and decoding of required C++ objects in a gtest unit test, and then has a test to verify the debug info cache is generated correctly.
This patch also adds the ability to track when a symbol table or DWARF index is loaded or saved to the cache in the "statistics dump" command. This is essential to know in statistics as it can help explain why a debug session was slower or faster than expected.

This reverts commit cc56c66f27.
Fixed a bad assertion, the target of a UsingShadowDecl must not have
*local* qualifiers, but it can be a typedef whose underlying type is qualified.
Currently there's no way to find the UsingDecl that a typeloc found its
underlying type through. Compare to DeclRefExpr::getFoundDecl().
Design decisions:
- a sugar type, as there are many contexts this type of use may appear in
- UsingType is a leaf like TypedefType, the underlying type has no TypeLoc
- not unified with UnresolvedUsingType: a single name is appealing,
but being sometimes-sugar is often fiddly.
- not unified with TypedefType: the UsingShadowDecl is not a TypedefNameDecl or
even a TypeDecl, and users think of these differently.
- does not cover other rarer aliases like objc @compatibility_alias,
in order to be have a concrete API that's easy to understand.
- implicitly desugared by the hasDeclaration ASTMatcher, to avoid
breaking existing patterns and following the precedent of ElaboratedType.
Scope:
- This does not cover types associated with template names introduced by
using declarations. A future patch should introduce a sugar TemplateName
variant for this. (CTAD deduced types fall under this)
- There are enough AST matchers to fix the in-tree clang-tidy tests and
probably any other matchers, though more may be useful later.
Caveats:
- This changes a fairly common pattern in the AST people may depend on matching.
Previously, typeLoc(loc(recordType())) matched whether a struct was
referred to by its original scope or introduced via using-decl.
Now, the using-decl case is not matched, and needs a separate matcher.
This is similar to the case of typedefs but nevertheless both adds
complexity and breaks existing code.

This starts to fix the other half of the lifetime problems in this code
-- dangling references. SB objects created on the stack will go away
when the function returns, which is a problem if the python code they
were meant for stashes a reference to them somewhere. Most of the time
this goes by unnoticed, as the code rarely has a reason to store these,
but in case it does, we shouldn't respond by crashing.
This patch fixes the management for a couple of SB objects (Debugger,
Frame, Thread). The SB objects are now created on the heap, and
their ownership is immediately passed on to SWIG, which will ensure they
are destroyed when the last python reference goes away. I will handle
the other objects in separate patches.
I include one test which demonstrates the lifetime issue for SBDebugger.
Strictly speaking, one should create a test case for each of these
objects and each of the contexts they are being used. That would require
figuring out how to persist (and later access) each of these objects.
Some of those may involve a lot of hoop-jumping (we can run python code
from within a frame-format string). I don't think that is
necessary/worth it since the new wrapper functions make it very hard to
get this wrong.
