I get to my work directory through a symlink, so the pathnames the
tests get for their build artifacts etc are via that symlink. There
are three tests which compare those symlink paths to a directory
received from dyld on macOS, which is the actual real pathname.
These tests have always failed for me on my dekstop but I finally
sat down to figure out why. Easy quick fix.
Skip all watchpoint hit-count/ignore-count tests for multithreaded
API tests for now on arm64 Darwin.
On AArch64, insns that trigger a WP are rolled back and we are
notified. lldb needs to disable the WP, insn step, re-enable it,
then report it to the user. lldb only does this full step action
for the "selected thread", and so when a program stops with
multiple threads hitting a stop reason, some of them watchpoints,
any non-selected-thread will not be completed in this way. But
all threads with the initial watchpoint exception will have their
hit-count/ignore-counts updated. When we resume execution, the
other threads sitting at the instruction will again execute &
trigger the WP exceptoin again, repeating until we've gone through
all of the threads.
This bug is being tracked in llvm.org/pr49433 and inside apple

Register positional argument details in `CommandObjectTargetModulesList`.
I recently learned that `image list` takes a module name, but the help info

accepts zero or more module names.
This makes it easier to get info about specific modules, without having to
find/grep through the full image list.

When setting an address breakpoint using a non-section address in lldb
before having ever run the program, the binary itself is not considered
a module. As a result, the breakpoint is unresolved (and never gets
resolved subsequently).
This patch changes that behavior: as a last resort, the binary is
considered as a module when resolving a non-section address breakpoint.

A trace might contain events traced during the target's execution. For
example, a thread might be paused for some period of time due to context
switches or breakpoints, which actually force a context switch. Not only
that, a trace might be paused because the CPU decides to trace only a
specific part of the target, like the address filtering provided by
intel pt, which will cause pause events. Besides this case, other kinds
of events might exist.
This patch adds the method `TraceCursor::GetEvents()`` that returns the
list of events that happened right before the instruction being pointed
at by the cursor. Some refactors were done to make this change simpler.
Besides this new API, the instruction dumper now supports the -e flag
which shows pause events, like in the following example, where pauses
happened due to breakpoints.
```

I'm adding two new classes that can be used to measure the duration of long
tasks as process and thread level, e.g. decoding, fetching data from
lldb-server, etc. In this first patch, I'm using it to measure the time it takes
to decode each thread, which is printed out with the `dump info` command. In a
later patch I'll start adding process-level tasks and I might move these
classes to the upper Trace level, instead of having them in the intel-pt
plugin. I might need to do that anyway in the future when we have to
measure HTR. For now, I want to keep the impact of this change minimal.
With it, I was able to generate the following info of a very big trace:
```
(lldb) thread trace dump info Trace technology: intel-pt
thread #1: tid = 616081
Total number of instructions: 9729366
Memory usage:
Raw trace size: 1024 KiB
Total approximate memory usage (excluding raw trace): 123517.34 KiB
Average memory usage per instruction (excluding raw trace): 13.00 bytes
Timing:
Decoding instructions: 1.62s
Errors:
Number of TSC decoding errors: 0
```
As seen above, it took 1.62 seconds to decode 9.7M instructions. This is great
news, as we don't need to do any optimization work in this area.

In order to support quick arbitrary access to instructions in the trace, we need
each instruction to have an id. It could be an index or any other value that the
trace plugin defines.
This will be useful for reverse debugging or for creating callstacks, as each
frame will need an instruction id associated with them.
I've updated the `thread trace dump instructions` command accordingly. It now
prints the instruction id instead of relative offset. I've also added a new --id
argument that allows starting the dump from an arbitrary position.

A problem that I introduced in the decoder is that I was considering TSC decoding
errors as actual instruction errors, which mean that the trace has a gap. This is
wrong because a TSC decoding error doesn't mean that there's a gap in the trace.
Instead, now I'm just counting how many of these errors happened and I'm using
the `dump info` command to check for this number.
Besides that, I refactored the decoder a little bit to make it simpler, more
readable, and to handle TSCs in a cleaner way.

lldb reports (and lldbutil.continue_to_breakpoint returns) a stop reason
even for suspended threads. Fix the test to expect that.
This was making the test flaky, as most of the time, the two threads
stop simultaneously, and the synchronization code is not executed.
One of the tests in this test setup was copied from a more complex test, and I didn't know
if the setup or the subsequent parts of the test were the ones that fail on Linux. Looks
like it was the latter, so let's mark this succeeding.
This way if you have a long stack, you can issue "thread backtrace --count 10"
and then subsequent <Return>-s will page you through the stack.
This took a little more effort than just adding the repeat command, since
the GetRepeatCommand API was returning a "const char *". That meant the command
had to keep the repeat string alive, which is inconvenient. The original
API returned either a nullptr, or a const char *, so I changed the private API to
return an llvm::Optional<std::string>. Most of the patch is propagating that change.
Also, there was a little thinko in fetching the repeat command. We don't
fetch repeat commands for commands that aren't being added to history, which
is in general reasonable. And we don't add repeat commands to the history -
also reasonable. But we do want the repeat command to be able to generate
the NEXT repeat command. So I adjusted the logic in HandleCommand to work
that way.

This mainly affects Darwin targets (macOS, iOS, tvOS and watchOS) when these targets don't use dSYM files and the debug info was in the .o files. All modules, including the .o files that are loaded by the debug maps, were in the global module list. This was great because it allows us to see each .o file and how much it contributes. There were virtual functions on the SymbolFile class to fetch the symtab/debug info parse and index times, and also the total debug info size. So the main executable would add all of the .o file's stats together and report them as its own data. Then the "totalDebugInfoSize" and many other "totalXXX" top level totals were all being added together. This stems from the fact that my original patch only emitted the modules for a target at the start of the patch, but as comments from the reviews came in, we switched to emitting all of the modules from the global module list.
So this patch fixes it so when we have a SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap that loads .o files, the main executable will have no debug info size or symtab/debug info parse/index times, but each .o file will have its own data as a separate module. Also, to be able to tell when/if we have a dSYM file I have added a "symbolFilePath" if the SymbolFile for the main modules path doesn't match that of the main executable. We also include a "symbolFileModuleIdentifiers" key in each module if the module does have multiple lldb_private::Module objects that contain debug info so that you can track down the information for a module and add up the contributions of all of the .o files.
Tests were added that are labeled with @skipUnlessDarwin and @no_debug_info_test that test all of this functionality so it doesn't regress.
For a module with a dSYM file, we can see the "symbolFilePath" is included:
```
"modules": [
{
"debugInfoByteSize": 1070,
"debugInfoIndexLoadedFromCache": false,
"debugInfoIndexSavedToCache": false,

"uuid": "E1F7D85B-3A42-321E-BF0D-29B103F5F2E3"
},
```
And for the DWARF in .o file case we can see the "symbolFileModuleIdentifiers" in the executable's module stats:
```
"modules": [
{
"debugInfoByteSize": 0,
"debugInfoIndexLoadedFromCache": false,
"debugInfoIndexSavedToCache": false,
"debugInfoIndexTime": 0,
"debugInfoParseTime": 0,
"identifier": 4603526968,

"uuid": "57008BF5-A726-3DE9-B1BF-3A9AD3EE8569"

```
And the .o file for 4604429832 looks like:
```
{
"debugInfoByteSize": 1028,
"debugInfoIndexLoadedFromCache": false,
"debugInfoIndexSavedToCache": false,
