* Fix typos.Bruce Mitchener2015-07-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: Fix a bunch of typos. Reviewers: clayborg Subscribers: lldb-commits Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D11386 llvm-svn: 242856
* More packet performance improvements. Greg Clayton2015-07-171-2/+9
| | | | | | | | Changed the "jthreads" key/value in the stop reply packets to be "jstopinfo". This JSON only contains threads with valid stop reasons and allows us not to have to ask about other threads via qThreadStopInfo when we are stepping. The "jstopinfo" only gets sent if there are more than one thread since the stop reply packet contains all the info needed for a single thread. Added a Process::WillPublicStop() in case process subclasses want to do any extra gathering for public stops. For ProcessGDBRemote, we end up sending a jThreadsInfo packet to gather all expedited registers, expedited memory and MacOSX queue information. We only do this for public stops to minimize the packets we send when we have multiple private stops. Multiple private stops happen when a source level single step, step into or step out run the process multiple times while implementing the stepping, and none of these private stops make it out to the UI via notifications because they are private stops. llvm-svn: 242593
* Add a another packet to the gdb-remote protocol,Jason Molenda2015-07-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | jGetLoadedDynamicLibrariesInfos. This packet is similar to qXfer:libraries:read except that lldb supplies the number of solibs that should be reported about, and the start address for the list of them. At the initial process launch we'll read the full list of solibs linked by the process -- at this point we could be using qXfer:libraries:read -- but on subsequence solib-loaded notifications, we'll be fetching a smaller number of solibs, often only one or two. A typical Mac/iOS GUI app may have a couple hundred different solibs loaded - doing all of the loads via memory reads takes a couple of megabytes of traffic between lldb and debugserver. Having debugserver summarize the load addresses of all the solibs and sending it in JSON requires a couple of hundred kilobytes of traffic. It's a significant performance improvement when communicating over a slower channel. This patch leaves all of the logic for loading the libraries in DynamicLoaderMacOSXDYLD -- it only call over ot ProcesGDBRemote to get the JSON result. If the jGetLoadedDynamicLibrariesInfos packet is not implemented, the normal technique of using memory read packets to get all of the details from the target will be used. <rdar://problem/21007465> llvm-svn: 241964

* More packet reduction when debugging with GDB server.Greg Clayton2015-06-291-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | - Avoid sending the qfThreadInfo, qsThreadInfo packets if we have a stop reply packet with the threads already (save 2 round trip packets) - Include the qname, qserial and qkind in the JSON info - Report the qname, qserial and qkind to the thread so it can cache it to avoid many packets on MacOSX and iOS - Don't clear all discoverable settings when we exec, just the ones we need to saves 1-5 packets for each exec. llvm-svn: 240988
* Resubmitting 240466 after fixing the linux test suite failures.Greg Clayton2015-06-251-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few extras were fixed - Symbol::GetAddress() now returns an Address object, not a reference. There were places where people were accessing the address of a symbol when the symbol's value wasn't an address symbol. On MacOSX, undefined symbols have a value zero and some places where using the symbol's address and getting an absolute address of zero (since an Address object with no section and an m_offset whose value isn't LLDB_INVALID_ADDRESS is considered an absolute address). So fixing this required some changes to make sure people were getting what they expected. - Since some places want to access the address as a reference, I added a few new functions to symbol: Address &Symbol::GetAddressRef(); const Address &Symbol::GetAddressRef() const; Linux test suite passes just fine now. <rdar://problem/21494354> llvm-svn: 240702
* Implement the "qSymbol" packet in order to be able to read queue information ↵Greg Clayton2015-06-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | in debugserver and return the info in the stop reply packets. A "qSymbol::" is sent when shared libraries have been loaded by hooking into the Process::ModulesDidLoad() function from within ProcessGDBRemote. This function was made virtual so that the ProcessGDBRemote version is called, which then first calls the Process::ModulesDidLoad(), and then it queries for any symbol lookups that the remote GDB server might want to do. This allows debugserver to request the "dispatch_queue_offsets" symbol so that it can read the queue name, queue kind and queue serial number and include this data as part of the stop reply packet. Previously each thread would have to do 3 memory reads in order to read the queue name. This is part of reducing the number of packets that are sent between LLDB and the remote GDB server. <rdar://problem/21494354> llvm-svn: 240466
* Add handling of async notify packetsEwan Crawford2015-06-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a listener to the AynscThread in ProcessGDBRemote, specifically for dealing with any async notification packets. From the broadcast our listener receives we can process the notify packet from the event data. A handler function then sets the thread stop info from this packet, and updates lldb by setting the process private state to stopped. Allowing the async thread to go back to sleep and getting the main thread to handle the implications of a state change. When sending a vCont in nonstop mode we also get a different reply from all-stop mode, an OK response as opposed to a stop reply. So a condition is added to handle this and set the process state without the stop-reply data.

* Reduced packet counts to the remote GDB server where possible.Greg Clayton2015-06-221-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have been working on reducing the packet count that is sent between LLDB and the debugserver on MacOSX and iOS. Our approach to this was to reduce the packets required when debugging multiple threads. We currently make one qThreadStopInfoXXXX call (where XXXX is the thread ID in hex) per thread except the thread that stopped with a stop reply packet. In order to implement multiple thread infos in a single reply, we need to use structured data, which means JSON. The new jThreadsInfo packet will attempt to retrieve all thread infos in a single packet. The data is very similar to the stop reply packets, but packaged in JSON and uses JSON arrays where applicable. The JSON output looks like: [ { "tid":1580681, "metype":6, "medata":[2,0], "reason":"exception", "qaddr":140735118423168, "registers": { "0":"8000000000000000", "1":"0000000000000000", "2":"20fabf5fff7f0000", "3":"e8f8bf5fff7f0000", "4":"0100000000000000", "5":"d8f8bf5fff7f0000", "6":"b0f8bf5fff7f0000", "7":"20f4bf5fff7f0000", "8":"8000000000000000", "9":"61a8db78a61500db", "10":"3200000000000000", "11":"4602000000000000", "12":"0000000000000000", "13":"0000000000000000", "14":"0000000000000000", "15":"0000000000000000", "16":"960b000001000000", "17":"0202000000000000", "18":"2b00000000000000", "19":"0000000000000000", "20":"0000000000000000"}, "memory":[ {"address":140734799804592,"bytes":"c8f8bf5fff7f0000c9a59e8cff7f0000"}, {"address":140734799804616,"bytes":"00000000000000000100000000000000"} ] } ] It contains an array of dicitionaries with all of the key value pairs that are normally in the stop reply packet. Including the expedited registers. Notice that is also contains expedited memory in the "memory" key. Any values in this memory will get included in a new L1 cache in lldb_private::Process where if a memory read request is made and that memory request fits into one of the L1 memory cache blocks, it will use that memory data. If a memory request fails in the L1 cache, it will fall back to the L2 cache which is the same block sized caching we were using before these changes. This allows a process to expedite memory that you are likely to use and it reduces packet count. On MacOSX with debugserver, we expedite the frame pointer backchain for a thread (up to 256 entries) by reading 2 pointers worth of bytes at the frame pointer (for the previous FP and PC), and follow the backchain. Most backtraces on MacOSX and iOS now don't require us to read any memory! We will try these packets out and if successful, we should port these to lldb-server in the near future. <rdar://problem/21494354> llvm-svn: 240354

* Change ProcessGDBRemote last stop packet to a container.Ewan Crawford2015-05-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In ProcessGDBRemote we currently have a single packet, m_last_stop_packet, used to set the thread stop info. However in non-stop mode we can receive several stop reply packets in a sequence for different threads. As a result we need to use a container to hold them before they are processed. This patch also changes the return type of CheckPacket() so we can detect async notification packets.

* Did some cleanup to stop us from leaking Pipe file descriptors.Greg Clayton2015-05-231-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | The main issue was the Communication::Disconnect() was calling its Connection::Disconnect() but this wouldn't release the pipes that the ConnectionFileDescriptor was using. We also have someone that is holding a strong reference to the Process so that when you re-run, target replaces its m_process_sp, but it doesn't get destructed because someone has a strong reference to it. I need to track that down. But, even if we have a strong reference to the a process that is outstanding, we need to call Process::Finalize() to have it release as much of its resources as possible to avoid memory bloat. Removed the ProcessGDBRemote::SetExitStatus() override and replaced it with ProcessGDBRemote::DidExit(). Now we aren't leaking file descriptors and the stand alone test suite should run much better. llvm-svn: 238089
* Remove DoAttachToProcessWithId(lldb::pid_t).Zachary Turner2015-05-131-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | There were two versions of DoAttachToprocessWithId. One that takes a pid_t, and the other which takes a pid_t and a ProcessAttachInfo. There were no callers of the former version, and all of the implementations of this version were simply forwarding calls to one version or the other. llvm-svn: 237281
* Remote Non-Stop SupportEwan Crawford2015-05-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: This patch is the beginnings of support for Non-stop mode in the remote protocol. Letting a user examine stopped threads, while other threads execute freely. Non-stop mode is enabled using the setting target.non-stop-mode, which sends a QNonStop packet when establishing the remote connection. Changes are also made to treat the '?' stop reply packet differently in non-stop mode, according to spec https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Remote-Non_002dStop.html#Remote-Non_002dStop. A setting for querying the remote for default thread on setup is also included. Handling of '%' async notification packets will be added next.

With this CL if we have a remote process then we ask it if it have any information from a given module.

* Remove ScriptInterpreterObject.Zachary Turner2015-03-171-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes ScriptInterpreterObject from the codebase completely. Places that used to rely on ScriptInterpreterObject now use StructuredData::Object and its derived classes. To support this, a new type of StructuredData object is introduced, called StructuredData::Generic, which stores a void*. Internally within the python library, StructuredPythonObject subclasses this StructuredData::Generic class so that it can addref and decref the python object on construction and destruction. Additionally, all of the classes in PythonDataObjects.h such as PythonList, PythonDictionary, etc now provide a method to create an instance of the corresponding StructuredData type. For example, there is PythonDictionary::CreateStructuredDictionary. To eliminate dependencies on PythonDataObjects for external callers, all ScriptInterpreter methods now return only StructuredData classes The rest of the changes in this CL are focused on fixing up users of PythonDataObjects classes to use the new StructuredData classes. llvm-svn: 232534

* use std::atomic<> to protect variables being accessed by multiple threadsTodd Fiala2014-09-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | There are several places where multiple threads are accessing the same variables simultaneously without any kind of protection. I propose using std::atomic<> to make it safer. I did a special build of lldb, using the google tool 'thread sanitizer' which identified many cases of multiple threads accessing the same memory. std::atomic is low overhead and does not use any locks for simple types such as int/bool. See http://reviews.llvm.org/D5302 for more details. Change by Shawn Best. llvm-svn: 217818

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | See http://reviews.llvm.org/D5108 for details. This change does the following: * eliminates the Process::GetUnixSignals() virtual method and replaces with a fixed getter. * replaces the Process UnixSignals storage with a shared pointer. * adds a Process constructor variant that can be passed the UnixSignalsSP. When the constructor without the UnixSignalsSP is specified, the Host's default UnixSignals is used. * adds a host-specific version of GetUnixSignals() that is used when we need the host's appropriate UnixSignals variant. * replaces GetUnixSignals() overrides in PlatformElfCore, ProcessGDBRemote, ProcessFreeBSD and ProcessLinux with code that appropriately sets the Process::UnixSignals for the process. This change also enables some future patches that will enable llgs to be used for local Linux debugging. llvm-svn: 216748

* Add lldb-gdbserver support for Linux x86_64.Todd Fiala2014-06-301-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change brings in lldb-gdbserver (llgs) specifically for Linux x86_64. (More architectures coming soon). Not every debugserver option is covered yet. Currently the lldb-gdbserver command line can start unattached, start attached to a pid (process-name attach not supported yet), or accept lldb attaching and launching a process or connecting by process id. The history of this large change can be found here: https://github.com/tfiala/lldb/tree/dev-tfiala-native-protocol-linux-x86_64 Until mid/late April, I was not sharing the work and continued to rebase it off of head (developed via id tfiala@google.com). I switched over to user todd.fiala@gmail.com in the middle, and once I went to github, I did merges rather than rebasing so I could share with others. llvm-svn: 212069
* Initial merge of some of the iOS 8 / Mac OS X Yosemite specificJason Molenda2014-06-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lldb support. I'll be doing more testing & cleanup but I wanted to get the initial checkin done. This adds a new SBExpressionOptions::SetLanguage API for selecting a language of an expression. I added adds a new SBThread::GetInfoItemByPathString for retriving information about a thread from that thread's StructuredData. I added a new StructuredData class for representing key-value/array/dictionary information (e.g. JSON formatted data). Helper functions to read JSON and create a StructuredData object, and to print a StructuredData object in JSON format are included. A few Cocoa / Cocoa Touch data formatters were updated by Enrico to track changes in iOS 8 / Yosemite. Before we query a thread's extended information, the system runtime may provide hints to the remote debug stub that it will use to retrieve values out of runtime structures. I added a new SystemRuntime method AddThreadExtendedInfoPacketHints which allows the SystemRuntime to add key-value type data to the initial request that we send to the remote stub. The thread-format formatter string can now retrieve values out of a thread's extended info structured data. The default thread-format string picks up two of these - thread.info.activity.name and thread.info.trace_messages. I added a new "jThreadExtendedInfo" packet in debugserver; I will add documentation to the lldb-gdb-remote.txt doc soon. It accepts JSON formatted arguments (most importantly, "thread":threadnum) and it returns a variety of information regarding the thread to lldb in JSON format. This JSON return is scanned into a StructuredData object that is associated with the thread; UI layers can query the thread's StructuredData to see if key-values are present, and if so, show them to the user. These key-values are likely to be specific to different targets with some commonality among many targets. For instance, many targets will be able to advertise the pthread_t value for a thread. I added an initial rough cut of "thread info" command which will print the information about a thread from the jThreadExtendedInfo result. I need to do more work to make this format reasonably. Han Ming added calls into the pmenergy and pmsample libraries if debugserver is run on Mac OS X Yosemite to get information about the inferior's power use. I added support to debugserver for gathering the Genealogy information about threads, if it exists, and returning it in the jThreadExtendedInfo JSON result. llvm-svn: 210874

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When debugging with the GDB remote in LLDB, LLDB uses special packets to discover the registers on the remote server. When those packets aren't supported, LLDB doesn't know what the registers look like. This checkin implements a setting that can be used to specify a python file that contains the registers definitions. The setting is: (lldb) settings set plugin.process.gdb-remote.target-definition-file /path/to/module.py Inside module there should be a function: def get_dynamic_setting(target, setting_name): This dynamic setting function is handed the "target" which is a SBTarget, and the "setting_name", which is the name of the dynamic setting to retrieve. For the GDB remote target definition the setting name is 'gdb-server-target-definition'. The return value is a dictionary that follows the same format as the OperatingSystem plugins follow. I have checked in an example file that implements the x86_64 GDB register set for people to see: examples/python/x86_64_target_definition.py This allows LLDB to debug to any archticture that is support and allows users to define the registers contexts when the discovery packets (qRegisterInfo, qHostInfo) are not supported by the remote GDB server. A few benefits of doing this in Python: 1 - The dynamic register context was already supported in the OperatingSystem plug-in 2 - Register contexts can use all of the LLDB enumerations and definitions for things like lldb::Format, lldb::Encoding, generic register numbers, invalid registers numbers, etc. 3 - The code that generates the register context can use the program to calculate the register context contents (like offsets, register numbers, and more) 4 - True dynamic detection could be used where variables and types could be read from the target program itself in order to determine which registers are available since the target is passed into the python function. This is designed to be used instead of XML since it is more dynamic and code flow and functions can be used to make the dictionary. llvm-svn: 192646

Some plug-ins had prefixes and most ones didn't, so now they all don't have prefixed names, just simple names like "linux", "gdb-remote", etc. llvm-svn: 181631

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enhance lldb so it can search for a kernel in memory when attaching to a remote system. Remove some of the code that was doing this from ProcessMachCore and ProcessGDBRemote and put it in DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel. I've added a new setting, plugin.dynamic-loader.darwin-kernel.scan-type which can be set to none - for environments where reading random memory can cause a device crash basic - look at one fixed location in memory for a kernel load address, plus the contents of that address fast-scan - the default, tries "basic" and then looks for the kernel's mach header near the current pc value when lldb connects exhaustive-scan - on 32-bit targets, step through the entire range where the kernel can be loaded, looking for the kernel binary I don't have the setting set up correctly right now, I'm getting back unexpected values from the Property system, but I'll figure that out tomorrow and fix. Besides that, all of the different communication methods / types of kernels appear to be working correctly with these changes. llvm-svn: 173891
