A previous commit enabled LLDB to be able to debug a program launched via ld: https://reviews.llvm.org/D108061.
This commit adds the ability to debug a program launched via ld when it happens during an exec into the dynamic loader. There was an issue where after the exec we would locate the rendezvous structure right away but it didn't contain any valid values and we would try to set the dyanamic loader breakpoint at address zero. This patch fixes that and adds a test.

IIUC, the purpose of CopyUniqueClassMethodTypes is to link together
class definitions in two compile units so that we only have a single
definition of a class. It does this by adding entries to the die_to_type
and die_to_decl_ctx maps.
However, the direction of the linking seems to be reversed. It is taking
entries from the class that has not yet been parsed, and copying them to
the class which has been parsed already -- i.e., it is a very
complicated no-op.
Changing the linking order allows us to revert the changes in D13224
(while keeping the associated test case passing), and is sufficient to
fix PR54761, which was caused by an undesired interaction with that
patch.

The test was broken (in the sense that it was not testing what it was
supposed to test) in two ways:
- a Makefile refactor caused it to stop being built with
-flimit-debug-info
- clang's constructor homing changed the "home" of the type
This patch fixes the Makefile, and modifies the source code to produce
the same result with both type homing strategies. Due to constructor
homing I had to use a different implicitly-defined function for the test
-- I chose the assignment operator.
I also added some sanity checks to the test to ensure that the test is
indeed operating on limited debug info.

Symbol on-demand feature is never tested on Windows so it is not a surprise
that we are getting Buildbot failure from Windows:
https://lab.llvm.org/buildbot/#/builders/83/builds/18228
This patch disables symbol on-demand feature on Windows. I will find a Windows

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D124471
This diff introduces a new symbol on-demand which skips
loading a module's debug info unless explicitly asked on
demand. This provides significant performance improvement
for application with dynamic linking mode which has large
number of modules.
The feature can be turned on with:
"settings set symbols.load-on-demand true"
The feature works by creating a new SymbolFileOnDemand class for
each module which wraps the actual SymbolFIle subclass as member
variable. By default, most virtual methods on SymbolFileOnDemand are
skipped so that it looks like there is no debug info for that module.
But once the module's debug info is explicitly requested to
be enabled (in the conditions mentioned below) SymbolFileOnDemand
will allow all methods to pass through and forward to the actual SymbolFile
which would hydrate module's debug info on-demand.
In an internal benchmark, we are seeing more than 95% improvement
for a 3000 modules application.
Currently we are providing several ways to on demand hydrate
a module's debug info:
* Source line breakpoint: matching in supported files
* Stack trace: resolving symbol context for an address
* Symbolic breakpoint: symbol table match guided promotion
* Global variable: symbol table match guided promotion
In all above situations the module's debug info will be on-demand
parsed and indexed.
Some follow-ups for this feature:
* Add a command that allows users to load debug info explicitly while using a
new or existing command when this feature is enabled
* Add settings for "never load any of these executables in Symbols On Demand"
that takes a list of globs
* Add settings for "always load the the debug info for executables in Symbols
On Demand" that takes a list of globs
* Add a new column in "image list" that shows up by default when Symbols On
Demand is enable to show the status for each shlib like "not enabled for
this", "debug info off" and "debug info on" (with a single character to
short string, not the ones I just typed)

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.
```

This patch moves the platform creation and selection logic into the
per-debugger platform lists. I've tried to keep functional changes to a
minimum -- the main (only) observable difference in this change is that
APIs, which select a platform by name (e.g.,
Debugger::SetCurrentPlatform) will not automatically pick up a platform
associated with another debugger (or no debugger at all).
I've also added several tests for this functionality -- one of the
pleasant consequences of the debugger isolation is that it is now
possible to test the platform selection and creation logic.

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:

Average memory usage per instruction (excluding raw trace): 13.00 bytes
Timing:

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.

After enabling the LLDB index cache in production we discovered that some distributed build systems play with the modification times of any .o files that were downloaded from the build cache. This was causing the LLDB index cache to read the wrong cache file for files that didn't have a UUID as all of the modfication times were set to the same value by the build system. When new .o files were downloaded, the only unique identifier was the mod time which were all the same, and we would load an older cache for the updated .o file. So disabling caching of files that have no UUIDs for now until we can create a more solid solution.

When opening core files (and also in some other situations) we could end
up with two vdso modules. This could happen because the vdso module is
very special, and over the years, we have accumulated various ways to
load it.
In D10800, we added one mechanism for loading it, which took the form of
a generic load-from-memory capability. Unfortunately loading an elf file
from memory is not possible (because the loader never loads the entire
file), and our attempts to do so were causing crashes. So, in D34352, we
partially reverted D10800 and implemented a custom mechanism specific to
the vdso.
Unfortunately, enough of D10800 remained such that, under the right
circumstances, it could end up loading a second (non-functional) copy of
the vdso module. This happened when the process plugin did not support
the extended MemoryRegionInfo query (added in D22219, to workaround a
different bug), which meant that the loader plugin was not able to
recognise that the linux-vdso.so.1 module (this is how the loader calls
it) is in fact the same as the [vdso] module (the name used in
/proc/$PID/maps) we loaded before. This typically happened in a core
file, as they don't store this kind of information.
This patch fixes the issue by completing the revert of D10800 -- the
memory loading code is removed completely. It also reduces the scope of
the hackaround introduced in D22219 -- it isn't completely sound and is
only relevant for fairly old (but still supported) versions of android.
I added the memory loading logic to the wasm dynamic loader, which has
since appeared and is relying on this feature (it even has a test). As
far as I can tell loading wasm modules from memory is possible and
reliable. MachO memory loading is not affected by this patch, as it uses
a completely different code path.
Since the scenarios/patches I described came without test cases, I have
created two new gdb-client tests cases for them. They're not
particularly readable, but right now, this is the best way we can
simulate the behavior (bugs) of a particular dynamic linker.

This patch handles the situation where the main thread exits (through
the SYS_exit syscall). In this case, the process as a whole continues
running until all of the other threads exit, or one of them issues an
exit_group syscall.
The patch consists of two changes:
- a moderate redesign of the handling of thread exit (WIFEXITED) events.
Previously, we were removing (forgetting) a thread once we received
the WIFEXITED (or WIFSIGNALED) event. This was problematic for the
main thread, since the main thread WIFEXITED event (which is better thought
of as a process-wide event) gets reported only after the entire process
exits. This resulted in deadlocks, where we were waiting for the
process to stop (because we still considered the main thread "live").
This patch changes the logic such that the main thread is removed as
soon as its PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT (the pre-exit) event is received. At
this point we can consider the thread gone (for most purposes). As a
corrolary, I needed to add special logic to catch process-wide exit
events in the cases where we don't have the main thread around.
- The second part of the patch is the removal of the assumptions that
the main thread is always available. This generally meant replacing
the uses of GetThreadByID(process_id) with GetCurrentThread() in
various process-wide operations (such as memory reads).

About half of our host platform code was implemented in the Platform
class, while the rest was it RemoteAwarePlatform. Most of the time, this
did not matter, as nearly all our platforms are also
RemoteAwarePlatforms. It makes a difference for PlatformQemu, which
descends directly from the base class (as it is local-only).
This patch moves all host code paths into the base class, and marks
PlatformQemu as a "host" platform so it can make use of them (it sounds
slightly strange, but that is consistent with what the apple simulator
platforms are doing). Not all of the host implementations make sense for
this platform, but it can always override those that don't.
I add some basic tests using the platform file apis to exercise this
functionality.
