Right now running `expr` to start the multiline expression editor and then
pressing enter causes an empty history empty to be created for the multiline
editor. That doesn't seem very useful for users as pressing the 'up' key will
now also bring up these empty expressions.
I don't think there is ever a use case for recalling a completely empty
expression from the history, so instead don't save those entries to the history
file and make sure we never recall them when navigating over the expression
history.
Note: This is actually a Swift downstream patch that got shipped with Apple's
LLDB for many years. However, this recently started conflicting with upstream
LLDB as D100048 added a test that made sure that empty expression entries don't
crash LLDB. Apple's LLDB was never affected by this crash as it never saved
empty expressions in the first place.

It is currently possible to register a frame recognizer, but it will be applied if and only if the frame's PC points to the very first instruction of the specified function, which limits usability of this feature.
The implementation already supports changing this behaviour by passing an additional flag, but it's not possible to set it via the command interface. Fix that.

added new command "process trace save -d <directory>".
-it saves a JSON file as <directory>/trace.json, with the main properties of the trace session.
-it saves binary Intel-pt trace as <directory>/thread_id.trace; each file saves each thread.
-it saves modules to the directory <directory>/modules .
-it only works for live process and it only support Intel-pt right now.
Example:
```
b main
run
process trace start
n
process trace save -d /tmp/mytrace
```
A file named trace.json and xxx.trace should be generated in /tmp/mytrace. To load the trace that was just saved:
```
trace load /tmp/mytrace
thread trace dump instructions
```
You should see the instructions of the trace got printed.
To run a test:
```
cd ~/llvm-sand/build/Release/fbcode-x86_64/toolchain
ninja lldb-dotest
./bin/lldb-dotest -p TestTraceSave

This diff introduces Hierarchical Trace Representation (HTR) and creates the `thread trace export ctf -f <filename> -t <thread_id>` command to export an Intel PT trace's HTR to Chrome Trace Format (CTF) for visualization.
See `lldb/docs/htr.rst` for context/documentation on HTR.
**Overview of Changes**
- Add HTR documentation (see `lldb/docs/htr.rst`)
- Add HTR structures (layer, block, block metadata)
- Implement "Basic Super Block" HTR pass
- Add 'thread trace export ctf' command to export the HTR of an Intel PT
trace to Chrome Trace Format (CTF)
As this diff is the first iteration of HTR and trace visualization, future diffs will build on this work by generalizing the internal design of HTR and implementing new HTR passes that provide better trace summarization/visualization.

Code was added to Target::RunStopHook to make sure that we don't run stop hooks when
you stop after an expression evaluation. But the way it was done was to check that we
hadn't run an expression since the last natural stop. That failed in the case where you
stopped for a breakpoint which had run an expression, because the stop-hooks get run
after the breakpoint actions, and so by the time we got to running the stop-hooks,
we had already run a user expression.
I fixed this by adding a target ivar tracking the last natural stop ID at which we had
run a stop-hook. Then we keep track of this and make sure we run the stop-hooks only
once per natural stop.

D104422 added the interface for TraceCursor, which is the main way to traverse instructions in a trace. This diff implements the corresponding cursor class for Intel PT and deletes the now obsolete code.
Besides that, the logic for the "thread trace dump instructions" was adapted to use this cursor (pretty much I ended up moving code from Trace.cpp to TraceCursor.cpp). The command by default traverses the instructions backwards, and if the user passes --forwards, then it's not forwards. More information about that is in the Options.td file.
Regarding the Intel PT cursor. All Intel PT cursors for the same thread share the same DecodedThread instance. I'm not yet implementing lazy decoding because we don't need it. That'll be for later. For the time being, the entire thread trace is decoded when the first cursor for that thread is requested.

AArch64 architecture support virtual addresses with some of the top bits ignored.
These ignored bits can host memory tags or bit masks that can serve to check for
authentication of address integrity. We need to clear away the top ignored bits
from watchpoint address to reliably hit and set watchpoints on addresses
containing tags or masks in their top bits.
This patch adds support to watch tagged addresses on AArch64/Linux.

I didn't get around to fix this change and the original commit itself seems
fine, so this looks like an existing LLDB/Clang bug that was just uncovered
by this change. Skipping while I'm investigating.
Previously, when `interpreter.save-session-on-quit` was enabled, lldb
would save the session transcript only when running the `quit` command.
This patch changes that so the transcripts are saved when the debugger

This adds a basic SB API for creating and stopping traces.
Note: This doesn't add any APIs for inspecting individual instructions. That'd be a more complicated change and it might be better to enhande the dump functionality to output the data in binary format. I'll leave that for a later diff.
This also enhances the existing tests so that they test the same flow using both the command interface and the SB API.
I also did some cleanup of legacy code.

This reverts commit db93e4e70a.
This modifies TestRegsters.py to account for Darwin showing
AVX registers as part of "Floating Point Registers" instead
of in a separate "Advanced Vector Extensions" category.
There is a common pattern:
result.AppendError(...);
result.SetStatus(eReturnStatusFailed);
I found that some commands don't actually "fail" but only
print "error: ..." because the second line got missed.
This can cause you to miss a failed command when you're
using the Python interface during testing.
(and produce some confusing script results)
I did not find any place where you would want to add
an error without setting the return status, so just
set eReturnStatusFailed whenever you add an error to
a command result.
This change does not remove any of the now redundant
SetStatus. This should allow us to see if there are any
tests that have commands unexpectedly fail with this change.
(the test suite passes for me but I don't have access to all
the systems we cover so there could be some corner cases)
Some tests that failed on x86 and AArch64 have been modified
to work with the new behaviour.

At the moment nearly every test calls something similar to
`self.dbg.CreateTarget(self.getBuildArtifact("a.out"))` and them sometimes
checks if the created target is actually valid with something like
`self.assertTrue(target.IsValid(), "some useless text")`.
Beside being really verbose the error messages generated by this pattern are
always just indicating that the target failed to be created but now why.
This patch introduces a helper function `createTestTarget` to our Test class
that creates the target with the much more verbose `CreateTarget` overload that
gives us back an SBError (with a fancy error). If the target couldn't be created
the function prints out the SBError that LLDB returned and asserts for us. It
also defaults to the "a.out" build artifact path that nearly all tests are using
to avoid to hardcode "a.out" in every test.
I converted a bunch of tests to the new function but I'll do the rest of the
test suite as follow ups.

When dumping the traced instructions in a for loop, like this one
4: for (int a = 0; a < n; a++)
5: do something;
there might be multiple LineEntry objects for line 4, but with different address ranges. This was causing the dump command to dump something like this:
```
a.out`main + 11 at main.cpp:4
[1] 0x0000000000400518 movl $0x0, -0x8(%rbp)
[2] 0x000000000040051f jmp 0x400529 ; <+28> at main.cpp:4
a.out`main + 28 at main.cpp:4
[3] 0x0000000000400529 cmpl $0x3, -0x8(%rbp)
[4] 0x000000000040052d jle 0x400521 ; <+20> at main.cpp:5
```
which is confusing, as main.cpp:4 appears twice consecutively.
This diff fixes that issue by making the line entry comparison strictly about the line, column and file name. Before it was also comparing the address ranges, which we don't need because our output is strictly about what the user sees in the source.
Besides, I've noticed that the logic that traverses instructions and calculates symbols and disassemblies had too much coupling, and made my changes harder to implement, so I decided to decouple it. Now there are two methods for iterating over the instruction of a trace. The existing one does it on raw load addresses, but the one provides a SymbolContext and an InstructionSP, and does the calculations efficiently (not as efficient as possible for now though), so the caller doesn't need to care about these details. I think I'll be using that iterator to reconstruct the call stacks.
I was able to fix a test with this change.

The `--allow-jit` flag allows the user to force the IR interpreter to run the
provided expression.
The `--top-level` flag parses and injects the code as if its in the top level
scope of a source file.
Both flags just change the ExecutionPolicy of the expression:
* `--allow-jit true` -> doesn't change anything (its the default)
* `--allow-jit false` -> ExecutionPolicyNever
* `--top-level` -> ExecutionPolicyTopLevel
Passing `--allow-jit false` and `--top-level` currently causes the `--top-level`
to silently overwrite the ExecutionPolicy value that was set by `--allow-jit
false`. There isn't any ExecutionPolicy value that says "top-level but only
interpret", so I would say we reject this combination of flags until someone
finds time to refactor top-level feature out of the ExecutionPolicy enum.
The SBExpressionOptions suffer from a similar symptom as `SetTopLevel` and
`SetAllowJIT` just silently disable each other. But those functions don't have
any error handling, so not a lot we can do about this in the meantime.
