Summary:
Lldb support base address selection entries in location lists was broken
for a long time. This wasn't noticed until llvm started producing these
kinds of entries more frequently with r374600.
In r374769, I made a quick patch which added sufficient support for them
to get the test suite to pass. However, I did not fully understand how
this code operates, and so the fix was not complete. Specifically, what
was lacking was the ability to handle modules which were not loaded at
their preferred load address (for instance, due to ASLR).
Now that I better understand how this code works, I've come to the
conclusion that the current setup does not provide enough information
to correctly process these entries. In the current setup the location
lists were parameterized by two addresses:
- the distance of the function start from the start of the compile unit.
The purpose of this was to make the location ranges relative to the
start of the function.
- the actual address where the function was loaded at. With this the
function-start-relative ranges can be translated to actual memory
locations.
The reason for the two values, instead of just one (the load bias) is (I
think) MachO, where the debug info in the object files will appear to be
relative to the address zero, but the actual code it refers to
can be moved and reordered by the linker. This means that the location
lists need to be "linked" to reflect the locations in the actual linked
file.
These two bits of information were enough to correctly process location
lists which do not contain base address selection entries (and so all
entries are relative to the CU base). However, they don't work with
them because, in theory two base address can be completely unrelated (as
can happen for instace with hot/cold function splitting, where the
linker can reorder the two pars arbitrarily).
To fix that, I split the first parameter into two:
- the compile unit base address
- the function start address, as is known in the object file
The new algorithm becomes:
- the location lists are processed as they were meant to be processed.
The CU base address is used as the initial base address value. Base
address selection entries can set a new base.
- the difference between the "file" and "load" function start addresses
is used to compute the load bias. This value is added to the final
ranges to get the actual memory location.
This algorithm is correct for non-MachO debug info, as there the
location lists correctly describe the code in the final executable, and
the dynamic linker can just move the entire module, not pieces of it. It
will also be correct for MachO if the static linker preserves relative
positions of the various parts of the location lists -- I don't know
whether it actually does that, but judging by the lack of base address
selection support in dsymutil and lldb, this isn't something that has
come up in the past.
I add a test case which simulates the ASLR scenario and demonstrates
that base address selection entries now work correctly here.

LLDB has three major testing strategies: unit tests, tests that exercise
the SB API though dotest.py and what we currently call lit tests. The
later is rather confusing as we're now using lit as the driver for all
three types of tests. As most of this grew organically, the directory
structure in the LLDB repository doesn't really make this clear.
The 'lit' tests are part of the root and among these tests there's a
Unit and Suite folder for the unit and dotest-tests. This layout makes
it impossible to run just the lit tests.
This patch changes the directory layout to match the 3 testing
strategies, each with their own directory and their own configuration
file. This means there are now 3 directories under lit with 3
corresponding targets:
- API (check-lldb-api): Test exercising the SB API.
- Shell (check-lldb-shell): Test exercising command line utilities.
- Unit (check-lldb-unit): Unit tests.
Finally, there's still the `check-lldb` target that runs all three test
suites.
Finally, this also renames the lit folder to `test` to match the LLVM
repository layout.
