The LLDB client has support for structured data plugins, but lldb-server
doesn't have corresponding support for it. This patch adds the missing
functionality in LLGS for servers to register their supported plugins
and send corresponding async messages.
|
|
Previously lldb was using arrays of size kMaxRegisterByteSize to handle
registers. This was set to 256 because the largest possible register
we support is Arm's scalable vectors (SVE) which can be up to 256 bytes long.
This means for most operations aside from SVE, we're wasting 192 bytes
of it. Which is ok given that we don't have to pay the cost of a heap
alocation and 256 bytes isn't all that much overall.
With the introduction of the Arm Scalable Matrix extension there is a new
array storage register, ZA. This register is essentially a square made up of
SVE vectors. Therefore ZA could be up to 64kb in size.
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0616/latest/
"The Effective Streaming SVE vector length, SVL, is a power of two in the range 128 to 2048 bits inclusive."
"The ZA storage is architectural register state consisting of a two-dimensional ZA array of [SVLB × SVLB] bytes."
99% of operations will never touch ZA and making every stack frame 64kb+ just
for that slim chance is a bad idea.
Instead I'm switching register handling to use SmallVector with a stack allocation
size of kTypicalRegisterByteSize. kMaxRegisterByteSize will be used in places
where we can't predict the size of register we're reading (in the GDB remote client).
The result is that the 99% of small register operations can use the stack
as before and the actual ZA operations will move to the heap as needed.
I tested this by first working out -wframe-larger-than values for all the
libraries using the arrays previously. With this change I was able to increase
kMaxRegisterByteSize to 256*256 without hitting those limits. With the
exception of the GDB server which needs to use a max size buffer.

This is a follow-up to D116372, which had a rather unfortunate side
effect of making the processing of a single SIGCHLD quadratic in the
number of threads -- which does not matter for simple applications, but
can get really bad for applications with thousands of threads.
This patch fixes the problem by implementing the other possibility
mentioned in the first patch -- doing waitpid(-1) centrally and then
routing the events to the correct process instance. The "uncollected"
threads are held in the process factory class -- which I've renamed to
Manager for this purpose, as it now does more than creating processes.

Introduce a new %Stdio notification category and use it to send process
output asynchronously when running in non-stop mode. This is an LLDB
extension since GDB does not use the 'O' packet for process output,
just for replies to 'qRcmd' packets.
Using the async notification mechanism implies that only the first
output packet is sent immediately to the client. The client needs
to request subsequent notifications (if any) using the new vStdio packet
(that works pretty much like vStopped for the Stop notification queue).
The packet handler in lldb-server tests is updated to handle the async
stdio packets in addition to the regular O packets. However, due
to the implications noted above, it can only handle the first output
packet sent by the server. Subsequent packets need to be explicitly
requested via vStdio.

Improve handling of multiple successive continue packets in non-stop
mode. More specifically:
1. Explicitly send error response (instead of crashing on assertion)
if the user attempts to resume the same process twice. Since we
do not support thread-level non-stop mode, one needs to always stop
the process explicitly before resuming another thread set.
2. Actually stop the process if "vCont;t" is delivered to a running
process. Similarly, we only support stopping all the running threads
simultaneously (via -1) and return an error in any other case.
With this patch, running multiple processes simultaneously is still
unsupported. The patch also employs a hack to avoid enabling stdio
forwarding on "vCont;t" packet. Both of these issues are addressed
by followup patches.

Remove m_inferior_prev_state that's not suitable for multiprocess
debugging and that does not seem to be really used at all.
The only use of the variable right now is to "prevent" sending the stop
reason after attach/launch. However, this code is never actually run
since none of the process plugins actually use eStateLaunching or
eStateAttaching. Through adding an assert, I've confirmed that it's
never hit in any of the LLDB tests or while attaching/launching debugged
process via lldb-server and via lldb CLI.

Convert the m_debugged_processes map from NativeProcessProtocol pointers
to structs, and combine the additional set(s) holding the additional
process properties into a flag field inside this struct. This is
desirable since there are more properties to come and having a single

Implement the support for the vKill packet. This is the modern packet
used by the GDB Remote Serial Protocol to kill one of the debugged
processes. Unlike the `k` packet, it has well-defined semantics.
The `vKill` packet takes the PID of the process to kill, and always
replies with an `OK` reply (rather than the exit status, as LLGS does
for `k` packets at the moment). Additionally, unlike the `k` packet
it does not cause the connection to be terminated once the last process
is killed — the client needs to close it explicitly.

Implement the support for %Stop asynchronous notification packet format
in LLGS. This does not implement full support for non-stop mode for
threaded programs -- process plugins continue stopping all threads
on every event. However, it will be used to implement asynchronous
events in multiprocess debugging.
The non-stop protocol is enabled using QNonStop packet. When it is
enabled, the server uses notification protocol instead of regular stop
replies. Since all threads are always stopped, notifications are always
generated for all active threads and copied into stop notification
queue.
If the queue was empty, the initial asynchronous %Stop notification
is sent to the client immediately. The client needs to (eventually)
acknowledge the notification by sending the vStopped packet, in which
case it is popped from the queue and the stop reason for the next thread
is reported. This continues until notification queue is empty again,
in which case an OK reply is sent.
Asychronous notifications are also used for vAttach results and program
exits. The `?` packet uses a hybrid approach -- it returns the first
stop reason synchronously, and exposes the stop reasons for remaining
threads via vStopped queue.
The change includes a test case for a program generating a segfault
on 3 threads. The server is expected to generate a stop notification
for the segfaulting thread, along with the notifications for the other
running threads (with "no stop reason"). This verifies that the stop
reasons are correctly reported for all threads, and that notification
queue works.

Although I cannot find any mention of this in the specification, both
gdb and lldb agree on sending an initial + packet after establishing the
connection.
OTOH, gdbserver and lldb-server behavior is subtly different. While
lldb-server *expects* the initial ack, and drops the connection if it is
not received, gdbserver will just ignore a spurious ack at _any_ point
in the connection.
This patch changes lldb's behavior to match that of gdb. An ACK packet
is ignored at any point in the connection (except when expecting an ACK
packet, of course). This is inline with the "be strict in what you
generate, and lenient in what you accept" philosophy, and also enables
us to remove some special cases from the server code. I've extended the
same handling to NAK (-) packets, mainly because I don't see a reason to
treat them differently here.
(The background here is that we had a stub which was sending spurious
+ packets. This bug has since been fixed, but I think this change makes
sense nonetheless.)

ConnectionFileDescriptor
Unify the listen and connect code inside lldb-server to use
ConnectionFileDescriptor uniformly rather than a mix of it and Acceptor.
This involves:
- adding a function to map legacy values of host:port parameter
(including legacy server URLs) into CFD-style URLs
- adding a callback to return "local socket id" (i.e. UNIX socket path
or TCP port number) between listen() and accept() calls in CFD
- adding a "unix-abstract-accept" scheme to CFD
As an additional advantage, this permits lldb-server to accept any URL
known to CFD including the new serial:// scheme. Effectively,
lldb-server can now listen on the serial port. Tests for connecting
over a pty are added to test that.

This is implemented using the QMemTags packet, as specified
by GDB in:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/General-Query-Packets.html#General-Query-Packets
(recall that qMemTags was previously added to read tags)
On receipt of a valid packet lldb-server will:
* align the given address and length to granules
(most of the time lldb will have already done this
but the specification doesn't guarantee it)
* Repeat the supplied tags as many times as needed to cover
the range. (if tags > range we just use as many as needed)
* Call ptrace POKEMTETAGS to write the tags.
The ptrace step will loop just like the tag read does,
until all tags are written or we get an error.
Meaning that if ptrace succeeds it could be a partial write.
So we call it again and if we then get an error, return an error to
lldb.
We are not going to attempt to restore tags after a partial
write followed by an error. This matches the behaviour of the
existing memory writes.
The lldb-server tests have been extended to include read and
write in the same test file. With some updated function names
since "qMemTags" vs "QMemTags" isn't very clear when they're
next to each other.

This adds memory tag reading using the new "qMemTags"
packet and ptrace on AArch64 Linux.
This new packet is following the one used by GDB.
(https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/General-Query-Packets.html)
On AArch64 Linux we use ptrace's PEEKMTETAGS to read
tags and we assume that lldb has already checked that the
memory region actually has tagging enabled.
We do not assume that lldb has expanded the requested range
to granules and expand it again to be sure.
(although lldb will be sending aligned ranges because it happens
to need them client side anyway)
Also we don't assume untagged addresses. So for AArch64 we'll
remove the top byte before using them. (the top byte includes
MTE and other non address data)
To do the ptrace read NativeProcessLinux will ask the native
register context for a memory tag manager based on the
type in the packet. This also gives you the ptrace numbers you need.
(it's called a register context but it also has non register data,
so it saves adding another per platform sub class)
The only supported platform for this is AArch64 Linux and the only
supported tag type is MTE allocation tags. Anything else will
error.
Ptrace can return a partial result but for lldb-server we will
be treating that as an error. To succeed we need to get all the tags
we expect.
(Note that the protocol leaves room for logical tags to be
read via qMemTags but this is not going to be implemented for lldb
at this time.)

Introduce a NativeProcessProtocol API for indicating support for

GetSupportedExtensions() method on the process factory to determine
which extensions are supported by the plugin. If the future is both
supported by the plugin and reported as supported by the client, LLGS
enables it and reports to the client as supported by the server.
The extension is enabled on the process instance by calling
SetEnabledExtensions() method. This is done after qSupported exchange
(if the debugger is attached to any process), as well as after launching
or attaching to a new inferior.
The patch adds 'fork' extension corresponding to 'fork-events+'

This implements the interactive trace start and stop methods.
This diff ended up being much larger than I anticipated because, by doing it, I found that I had implemented in the beginning many things in a non optimal way. In any case, the code is much better now.
There's a lot of boilerplate code due to the gdb-remote protocol, but the main changes are:
- New tracing packets: jLLDBTraceStop, jLLDBTraceStart, jLLDBTraceGetBinaryData. The gdb-remote packet definitions are quite comprehensive.
- Implementation of the "process trace start|stop" and "thread trace start|stop" commands.
- Implementaiton of an API in Trace.h to interact with live traces.
- Created an IntelPTDecoder for live threads, that use the debugger's stop id as checkpoint for its internal cache.
- Added a functionality to stop the process in case "process tracing" is enabled and a new thread can't traced.
- Added tests
I have some ideas to unify the code paths for post mortem and live threads, but I'll do that in another diff.

The goal of this packet (jTraceGetSupportedType) is to be able to query the gdb-server for the tracing technology that can work for the current debuggeer, which can make the user experience simpler but allowing the user to simply type
thread trace start
to start tracing the current thread without even telling the debugger to use "intel-pt", for example. Similarly, `thread trace start [args...]` would accept args beloging to the working trace type.
Also, if the user typed
help thread trace start
We could directly show the help information of the trace type that is supported for the target, or mention instead that no tracing is supported, if that's the case.

This patch adds support for the _M and _m gdb-remote packets, which
(de)allocate memory in the inferior. This works by "injecting" a
m(un)map syscall into the inferior. This consists of:
- finding an executable page of memory
- writing the syscall opcode to it
- setting up registers according to the os syscall convention
- single stepping over the syscall
The advantage of this approach over calling the mmap function is that
this works even in case the mmap function is buggy or unavailable. The
disadvantage is it is more platform-dependent, which is why this patch
only works on X86 (_32 and _64) right now. Adding support for other
linux architectures should be easy and consist of defining the
appropriate syscall constants. Adding support for other OSes depends on
the its ability to do a similar trick.

Summary:
This is the first of a few patches I have to improve the performance of dynamic module loading on Android.
In this first diff I'll describe the context of my main motivation and will then link to it in the other diffs to avoid repeating myself.
## Motivation
I have a few scenarios where opening a specific feature on an Android app takes around 40s when lldb is attached to it. The reason for that is because 40 modules are dynamicly loaded at that point in time and each one of them is taking ~1s.
## The problem
To learn about new modules we have a breakpoint on a linker function that is called twice whenever a module is loaded. One time just before it's loaded (so lldb can check which modules are loaded) and another right after it's loaded (so lldb can check again which ones are loaded and calculate the diference).
It's figuring out which modules are loaded that is taking quite some time. This is currently done by traversing the linked list of loaded shared libraries that the linker maintains in memory. Each item in the linked list requires its own `x` packet sent to the gdb server (this is android so the network also plays a part). In my scenario there are 400+ loaded libraries and even though we read 0x800 worth of bytes at a time we still make ~180 requests that end up taking 150-200ms.
We also do this twice, once before the module is loaded (state = eAdd) and another right after (state = eConsistent) which easly adds up to ~400ms per module.
## A solution
**Implement `xfer:libraries-svr4` in lldb-server:**
I noticed in the code that loads the new modules that it had support for the `xfer:libraries-svr4` packet (added ~4 years ago to support the ds2 debug server) but we didn't support it in lldb-server. This single packet returns an xml list of all the loaded modules by the process. The advantage is that there's no more need to make 180 requests to read the linked list. Additionally this new requests takes around 10ms.
**More efficient usage of the `xfer:libraries-svr4` packet in lldb:**
When `xfer:libraries-svr4` is available the Process class has a `LoadModules` function that requests this packet and then loads or unloads modules based on the current list of loaded modules by the process.
This is the function that is used by the DYLDRendezvous class to get the list of loaded modules before and after the module is loaded. However, this is really not needed since the LoadModules function already loaded or unloaded the modules accordingly. I changed this strategy to call LoadModules only once (after the process has loaded the module).
**Bugs**
I found a few issues in lldb while implementing this and have submitted independent patches for them.
I tried to devide this into multiple logical patches to make it easier to review and discuss.
## Tests
I wanted to put these set of diffs up before having all the tests up and running to start having them reviewed from a techical point of view. I'm also having some trouble making the tests running on linux so I need more time to make that happen.
# This diff
The `xfer` packages follow the same protocol, they are requested with `xfer:<object>:<read|write>:<annex>:<offset,length>` and a return that starts with `l` or `m` depending if the offset and length covers the entire data or not. Before implementing the `xfer:libraries-svr4` I refactored the `xfer:auxv` to generically handle xfer packets so we can easly add new ones.
The overall structure of the function ends up being:
* Parse the packet into its components: object, offset etc.
* Depending on the object do its own logic to generate the data.
* Return the data based on its size, the requested offset and length.

A lot of comments in LLDB are surrounded by an ASCII line to delimit the
begging and end of the comment.
Its use is not really consistent across the code base, sometimes the
lines are longer, sometimes they are shorter and sometimes they are
omitted. Furthermore, it looks kind of weird with the 80 column limit,
where the comment actually extends past the line, but not by much.
Furthermore, when /// is used for Doxygen comments, it looks
particularly odd. And when // is used, it incorrectly gives the
impression that it's actually a Doxygen comment.
I assume these lines were added to improve distinguishing between
comments and code. However, given that todays editors and IDEs do a
great job at highlighting comments, I think it's worth to drop this for
the sake of consistency. The alternative is fixing all the
inconsistencies, which would create a lot more churn.
