**Note:** The register reading and writing depends on new register
flavor support in thread_get_state/thread_set_state in the kernel, which
will be first available in macOS 15.4.
The Apple M4 line of cores includes the Scalable Matrix Extension (SME)
feature. The M4s do not implement Scalable Vector Extension (SVE),
although the processor is in Streaming SVE Mode when the SME is being
used. The most obvious side effects of being in SSVE Mode are that (on
the M4 cores) NEON instructions cannot be used, and watchpoints may get
false positives, the address comparisons are done at a lowered
granularity.
When SSVE mode is enabled, the kernel will provide the Streaming Vector
Length register, which is a maximum of 64 bytes with the M4. Also
provided are SVCR (with bits indicating if SSVE mode and SME mode are
enabled), TPIDR2, SVL. Then the SVE registers Z0..31 (SVL bytes long),
P0..15 (SVL/8 bytes), the ZA matrix register (SVL*SVL bytes), and the M4
supports SME2, so the ZT0 register (64 bytes).
When SSVE/SME are disabled, none of these registers are provided by the
kernel - reads and writes of them will fail.
Unlike Linux, lldb cannot modify the SVL through a thread_set_state
call, or change the processor state's SSVE/SME status. There is also no
way for a process to request a lowered SVL size today, so the work that
David did to handle VL/SVL changing while stepping through a process is
not an issue on Darwin today. But debugserver should be providing
everything necessary so we can reuse all of David's work on resizing the
register contexts in lldb if it happens in the future. debugbserver
sends svl, svcr, and tpidr2 in the expedited registers when a thread
stops, if SSVE|SME mode are enabled (if the kernel allows it to read the
ARM_SME_STATE register set).
While the maximum SVL is 64 bytes on M4, the AArch64 maximum possible
SVL is 256; this would give us a 64k ZA register. If debugserver sized
all of its register contexts assuming the largest possible SVL, we could
easily use 2MB more memory for the register contexts of all threads in a
process -- and on iOS et al, processes must run within a small memory
allotment and this would push us over that.
Much of the work in debugserver was changing the arm64 register context
from being a static compile-time array of register sets, to being
initialized at runtime if debugserver is running on a machine with SME.
The ZA is only created to the machine's actual maximum SVL. The size of
the 32 SVE Z registers is less significant so I am statically allocating
those to the architecturally largest possible SVL value today.
Also, debugserver includes information about registers that share the
same part of the register file. e.g. S0 and D0 are the lower parts of
the NEON 128-bit V0 register. And when running on an SME machine, v0 is
the lower 128 bits of the SVE Z0 register. So the register maps used
when defining the VFP registers must differ depending on the
capabilities of the cpu at runtime.
I also changed register reading in debugserver, where formerly when
debugserver was asked to read a register, and the thread_get_state read
of that register failed, it would return all zero's. This is necessary
when constructing a `g` packet that gets all registers - because there
is no separation between register bytes, the offsets are fixed. But when
we are asking for a single register (e.g. Z0) when not in SSVE/SME mode,
this should return an error.
This does mean that when you're running on an SME capabable machine, but
not in SME mode, and do `register read -a`, lldb will report that 48 SVE
registers were unavailable and 5 SME registers were unavailable. But
that's only when `-a` is used.
The register reading and writing depends on new register flavor support
in thread_get_state/thread_set_state in the kernel, which is not yet in
a release. The test case I wrote is skipped on current OSes. I pilfered
the SME register setup from some of David's existing SME test files;
there were a few Linux specific details in those tests that they weren't
easy to reuse on Darwin.

TestFirmwareCorefiles.py has a helper utility,
create-empty-corefile.cpp, which creates corefiles with different
metadata to specify the binary that should be loaded. It normally uses
an actual binary's UUID for the metadata, and it uses the binary's
cputype/cpusubtype for the corefile's mach header.
There is one test where it creates a corefile with metadata for a UUID
that cannot be found -- it is given no binary -- and in that case, the
cputype/cpusubtype it sets in the core file mach header was
uninitialized data. Through luck, on Darwin systems, the uninitialized
data typically matched a CPU_TYPE from machine.h and the test would
work. But when the value doens't match one of thoes defines, lldb would
reject the corefile entirely, and the test would fail. This has been an
infrequent failure on the CI bots for a while and I couldn't ever repo
it. There's a recent configuration where it was happening every time and
I was able to track it down.

In Objective-C, forward declarations are currently represented as:
```
DW_TAG_structure_type
DW_AT_name ("Foo")
DW_AT_declaration (true)
DW_AT_APPLE_runtime_class (DW_LANG_ObjC)
```
However, when compiling with `-gmodules`, when a class definition is
turned into a forward declaration within a `DW_TAG_module`, the DIE for
the forward declaration looks as follows:
```
DW_TAG_structure_type
DW_AT_name ("Foo")
DW_AT_declaration (true)
```
Note the absence of `DW_AT_APPLE_runtime_class`. With recent changes in
LLDB, not being able to differentiate between C++ and Objective-C
forward declarations has become problematic (see attached test-case and
explanation in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/119860).
The `llvm-gcc` front-end has been EOL'd at least since 2011 (based on
some `git` archeology). And Clang/LLVM has been removing references to
it ever since.
This patch removes the remaining references to it from LLDB. One benefit
of this is that it will allow us to remove the code checking for
`DW_AT_decl_file_attributes_are_invalid` and
`Supports_DW_AT_APPLE_objc_complete_type`.
With all the recent versions of Clang that I tested, ObjC forward
declarations like
```
@class ForwardObjcClass;
```
don't emit the kind of DWARF that this workaround was put in place for.
Also, zero-sized structures are valid in C (and thus Objective-C), so
this workaround makes things confusing to reason about when mixing the
two languages.
This workaround has been in place for at least a decade, and given that
recent compilers don't produce this anymore, we think it's a good time
to remove it.
Currently, we arbitrarily paginate editline completions to 40 elements.
On large terminals, that leaves some real-estate unused. On small
terminals, it's pretty annoying to not see the first completions. We can
address both issues by using the terminal height for pagination.
This builds on the improvements of #116456.
This patch fixes:
third-party/unittest/googletest/include/gtest/gtest.h:1379:11:
error: comparison of integers of different signs: 'const unsigned
long' and 'const int' [-Werror,-Wsign-compare]
For high-frequency multithreaded progress reports, the contention of
taking the progress mutex and the overhead of generating event can
significantly slow down the operation whose progress we are reporting.
This patch adds an (optional) capability to rate-limit them. It's
optional because this approach has one drawback: if the progress
reporting has a pattern where it generates a burst of activity and then
blocks (without reporting anything) for a large amount of time, it can
appear as if less progress was made that it actually was (because we
only reported the first event from the burst and dropped the other
ones).
I've also made a small refactor of the Progress class to better
distinguish between const (don't need protection), atomic (are used on
the hot path) and other (need mutex protection) members.
System make on FreeBSD is missing some GNU make features so out of the
box you get a lot of:
```
make: "<...>/Makefile.rules" line 569: Invalid line type
```
To solve this, you can install gmake which is a port of GNU make.
However because we prefer 'make', gmake won't be used unless you set
LLDB_TEST_MAKE.
To fix that, prefer 'gmake'. Also check (as best we can) that the make
we found is GNU make. This won't be perfect but it's better than the
cryptic error shown above.
```
-- Found make: /usr/bin/make
CMake Warning at /home/ec2-user/llvm-project/lldb/test/API/CMakeLists.txt:63 (message):
'make' tool /usr/bin/make may not be GNU make compatible. Some tests may
fail to build. Provide a GNU compatible 'make' tool by setting
LLDB_TEST_MAKE.
```
When a make isn't found at all, the warning message will show the names
we tried:
```
-- Did not find one of: gmake make
CMake Warning at /home/ec2-user/llvm-project/lldb/test/API/CMakeLists.txt:69 (message):

```
Expressions can take arbitrary amounts of time to run, so IDEs might
want to be informed about the fact that an expression is currently being
executed.

The main difference is that the llvm class (just a std::vector in
disguise) is not sorted. It turns out this isn't an issue because the
callers either:
- ignore the range list;
- convert it to a different format (which is then sorted);
- or query the minimum value (which is faster than sorting)
The last case is something I want to get rid of in a followup as a part
of removing the assumption that function's entry point is also its
lowest address.
In fact, there's only one public API in StackFrameList that changes
the list explicitly. The rest only change the list if you happen to
ask for more frames than lldb has currently fetched and that
always adds frames "behind the user's back". So we were
much more prone to deadlocking than we needed to be.
This patch uses a shared_mutex instead, and when we have to add more
frames (in GetFramesUpTo) we switches to exclusive long enough to add
the frames, then goes back to shared.
Most of the work here was actually getting the stack frame list locking
to not
require a recursive mutex (shared mutexes aren't recursive).
I also added a test that has 5 threads progressively asking for more
frames simultaneously to make sure we get back valid frames and don't
deadlock.
Since the setup of debug registers for AArch64 and LoongArch is similar,
we extracted the shared logic from Class:
`NativeRegisterContextDBReg_arm64`
into a new Class:
`NativeRegisterContextDBReg`.
This will simplify the subsequent implementation of hardware breakpoints
and watchpoints on LoongArch.

Apologies for the large change, I looked for ways to break this up and
all of the ones I saw added real complexity. This change focuses on the
option's prefixed names and the array of prefixes. These are present in
every option and the dominant source of dynamic relocations for PIE or
PIC users of LLVM and Clang tooling. In some cases, 100s or 1000s of
them for the Clang driver which has a huge number of options.
This PR addresses this by building a string table and a prefixes table
that can be referenced with indices rather than pointers that require
dynamic relocations. This removes almost 7k dynmaic relocations from the
`clang` binary, roughly 8% of the remaining dynmaic relocations outside
of vtables. For busy-boxing use cases where many different option tables
are linked into the same binary, the savings add up a bit more.
The string table is a straightforward mechanism, but the prefixes
required some subtlety. They are encoded in a Pascal-string fashion with
a size followed by a sequence of offsets. This works relatively well for
the small realistic prefixes arrays in use.
Lots of code has to change in order to land this though: both all the
option library code has to be updated to use the string table and
prefixes table, and all the users of the options library have to be
updated to correctly instantiate the objects.
Some follow-up patches in the works to provide an abstraction for this
style of code, and to start using the same technique for some of the
other strings here now that the infrastructure is in place.

Currently all the specializations of a template (including
instantiation, specialization and partial specializations) will be
loaded at once if we want to instantiate another instance for the
template, or find instantiation for the template, or just want to
complete the redecl chain.
This means basically we need to load every specializations for the
template once the template declaration got loaded. This is bad since
when we load a specialization, we need to load all of its template
arguments. Then we have to deserialize a lot of unnecessary
declarations.
For example,
```
// M.cppm
export module M;
export template <class T>
class A {};
export class ShouldNotBeLoaded {};
export class Temp {
A<ShouldNotBeLoaded> AS;
};
// use.cpp
import M;
A<int> a;
```
We have a specialization ` A<ShouldNotBeLoaded>` in `M.cppm` and we
instantiate the template `A` in `use.cpp`. Then we will deserialize
`ShouldNotBeLoaded` surprisingly when compiling `use.cpp`. And this
patch tries to avoid that.
Given that the templates are heavily used in C++, this is a pain point
for the performance.
This patch adds MultiOnDiskHashTable for specializations in the
ASTReader. Then we will only deserialize the specializations with the
same template arguments. We made that by using ODRHash for the template
arguments as the key of the hash table.
To review this patch, I think `ASTReaderDecl::AddLazySpecializations`
may be a good entry point.

Add support for type summaries embedded into the binary.
These embedded summaries will typically be generated by Swift macros,
but can also be generated by any other means.
