the one process we're interested in, instead of fetching all
of them and only keeping one.
(the old implementation made sense when we were doing the
initial find-this-process-by-pid-or-name by looking through
all the kinfo_procs.)
llvm-svn: 134686
variables prior to running your binary. Zero filled sections now get
section data correctly filled with zeroes when Target::ReadMemory
reads from the object file section data.
Added new option groups and option values for file lists. I still need
to hook up all of the options to "target variable" to allow more complete
introspection by file and shlib.
Added the ability for ValueObjectVariable objects to be created with
only the target as the execution context. This allows them to be read
from the object files through Target::ReadMemory(...).
Added a "virtual Module * GetModule()" function to the ValueObject
class. By default it will look to the parent variable object and
return its module. The module is needed when we have global variables
that have file addresses (virtual addresses that are specific to
module object files) and in turn allows global variables to be displayed
prior to running.
Removed all of the unused proxy object support that bit rotted in
lldb_private::Value.
Replaced a lot of places that used "FileSpec::Compare (lhs, rhs) == 0" code
with the more efficient "FileSpec::Equal (lhs, rhs)".
Improved logging in GDB remote plug-in.
llvm-svn: 134579
arguments in hex-encoded form instead of the old QEnvironment packet
which takes them as plain-text strings. Environment variables
containing remote protocol special chars like '#' would fail to set
with QEnvironment.
llvm-svn: 133857
while back. By default its output will be less verbose than the
old examine-threads.c but adding the '-v' command line flag will
give all the information that examine-threads.c provided plus some.
Of note, this implementation can take a process name -- and it will
use the libproc API so it can match program names longer than 16
characters.
llvm-svn: 133500
darwin (not sure about other platforms).
Modified the communication and connection classes to not require the
BytesAvailable function. Now the "Read(...)" function has a timeout in
microseconds.
Fixed a lot of assertions that were firing off in certain cases and replaced
them with error output and code that can deal with the assertion case.
llvm-svn: 133224
(or anything running in a terminal) wants. Not what a UI (Xcode) would want
where it creates a debugger per debug window. The current code had an infinite
loop after a debug session ended.
llvm-svn: 132280
parse NOP instructions. I added the new table entries for the NOP for the
plain NOP, Yield, WFE, WFI, and SEV variants. Modified the opcode emulation
function EmulateInstructionARM::EmulateMOVRdSP(...) to notify us when it is
creating a frame. Also added an abtract way to detect the frame pointer
register for both the standard ARM ABI and for Darwin.
Fixed GDBRemoteRegisterContext::WriteAllRegisterValues(...) to correctly be
able to individually write register values back if case the 'G' packet is
not implemented or returns an error.
Modified the StopInfoMachException to "trace" stop reasons. On ARM we currently
use the BVR/BCR register pairs to say "stop when the PC is not equal to the
current PC value", and this results in a EXC_BREAKPOINT mach exception that
has 0x102 in the code.
Modified debugserver to create the short option string from long option
definitions to make sure it doesn't get out of date. The short option string
was missing many of the newer short option values due to a modification of
the long options defs, and not modifying the short option string.
llvm-svn: 131911
of duplicated code from appearing all over LLDB:
lldb::addr_t
Process::ReadPointerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, Error &error);
bool
Process::WritePointerToMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, lldb::addr_t ptr_value, Error &error);
size_t
Process::ReadScalarIntegerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t addr, uint32_t byte_size, bool is_signed, Scalar &scalar, Error &error);
size_t
Process::WriteScalarToMemory (lldb::addr_t vm_addr, const Scalar &scalar, uint32_t size, Error &error);
in lldb_private::Process the following functions were renamed:
From:
uint64_t
Process::ReadUnsignedInteger (lldb::addr_t load_addr,
size_t byte_size,
Error &error);
To:
uint64_t
Process::ReadUnsignedIntegerFromMemory (lldb::addr_t load_addr,
size_t byte_size,
uint64_t fail_value,
Error &error);
Cleaned up a lot of code that was manually doing what the above functions do
to use the functions listed above.
Added the ability to get a scalar value as a buffer that can be written down
to a process (byte swapping the Scalar value if needed):
uint32_t
Scalar::GetAsMemoryData (void *dst,
uint32_t dst_len,
lldb::ByteOrder dst_byte_order,
Error &error) const;
The "dst_len" can be smaller that the size of the scalar and the least
significant bytes will be written. "dst_len" can also be larger and the
most significant bytes will be padded with zeroes.
Centralized the code that adds or removes address bits for callable and opcode
addresses into lldb_private::Target:
lldb::addr_t
Target::GetCallableLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, AddressClass addr_class) const;
lldb::addr_t
Target::GetOpcodeLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, AddressClass addr_class) const;
All necessary lldb_private::Address functions now use the target versions so
changes should only need to happen in one place if anything needs updating.
Fixed up a lot of places that were calling :
addr_t
Address::GetLoadAddress(Target*);
to call the Address::GetCallableLoadAddress() or Address::GetOpcodeLoadAddress()
as needed. There were many places in the breakpoint code where things could
go wrong for ARM if these weren't used.
llvm-svn: 131878
and set the address as an opcode address or as a callable address. This is
needed in various places in the thread plans to make sure that addresses that
might be found in symbols or runtime might already have extra bits set (ARM/Thumb).
The new functions are:
bool
Address::SetCallableLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, Target *target);
bool
Address::SetOpcodeLoadAddress (lldb::addr_t load_addr, Target *target);
SetCallableLoadAddress will initialize a section offset address if it can,
and if so it might possibly set some bits in the address to make the address
callable (bit zero might get set for ARM for Thumb functions).
SetOpcodeLoadAddress will initialize a section offset address using the
specified target and it will strip any special address bits if needed
depending on the target.
Fixed the ABIMacOSX_arm::GetArgumentValues() function to require arguments
1-4 to be in the needed registers (previously this would incorrectly fallback
to the stack) and return false if unable to get the register values. The
function was also modified to first look for the generic argument registers
and then fall back to finding the registers by name.
Fixed the objective trampoline handler to use the new Address::SetOpcodeLoadAddress
function when needed to avoid address mismatches when trying to complete
steps into objective C methods. Make similar fixes inside the
AppleThreadPlanStepThroughObjCTrampoline::ShouldStop() function.
Modified ProcessGDBRemote::BuildDynamicRegisterInfo(...) to be able to deal with
the new generic argument registers.
Modified RNBRemote::HandlePacket_qRegisterInfo() to handle the new generic
argument registers on the debugserver side.
Modified DNBArchMachARM::NumSupportedHardwareBreakpoints() to be able to
detect how many hardware breakpoint registers there are using a darwin sysctl.
Did the same for hardware watchpoints in
DNBArchMachARM::NumSupportedHardwareWatchpoints().
llvm-svn: 131834
the appropriate registers for arm and x86_64. The register names for the
arguments that are the size of a pointer or less are all named "arg1", "arg2",
etc. This allows you to read these registers by name:
(lldb) register read arg1 arg2 arg3
...
You can also now specify you want to see alternate register names when executing
the read register command:
(lldb) register read --alternate
(lldb) register read -A
llvm-svn: 131376
respective ABI plugins as they were plug-ins that supplied ABI specfic info.
Also hookep up the UnwindAssemblyInstEmulation so that it can generate the
unwind plans for ARM.
Changed the way ABI plug-ins are handed out when you get an instance from
the plug-in manager. They used to return pointers that would be mananged
individually by each client that requested them, but now they are handed out
as shared pointers since there is no state in the ABI objects, they can be
shared.
llvm-svn: 131193
into some cleanup I have been wanting to do when reading/writing registers.
Previously all RegisterContext subclasses would need to implement:
virtual bool
ReadRegisterBytes (uint32_t reg, DataExtractor &data);
virtual bool
WriteRegisterBytes (uint32_t reg, DataExtractor &data, uint32_t data_offset = 0);
There is now a new class specifically designed to hold register values:
lldb_private::RegisterValue
The new register context calls that subclasses must implement are:
virtual bool
ReadRegister (const RegisterInfo *reg_info, RegisterValue ®_value) = 0;
virtual bool
WriteRegister (const RegisterInfo *reg_info, const RegisterValue ®_value) = 0;
The RegisterValue class must be big enough to handle any register value. The
class contains an enumeration for the value type, and then a union for the
data value. Any integer/float values are stored directly in an appropriate
host integer/float. Anything bigger is stored in a byte buffer that has a length
and byte order. The RegisterValue class also knows how to copy register value
bytes into in a buffer with a specified byte order which can be used to write
the register value down into memory, and this does the right thing when not
all bytes from the register values are needed (getting a uint8 from a uint32
register value..).
All RegiterContext and other sources have been switched over to using the new
regiter value class.
llvm-svn: 131096
a new "QLaunchArch:<arch-name>" where <arch-name> is the architecture name.
This allows us to remotely launch a debugserver and then set the architecture
for the binary we will launch.
llvm-svn: 131064
Removed the "image" command and moved it to "target modules". Added an alias
for "image" to "target modules".
Added some new target commands to be able to add and load modules to a target:
(lldb) target modules add <path>
(lldb) target modules load [--file <path>] [--slide <offset>] [<sect-name> <sect-load-addr> ...]
So you can load individual sections without running a target:
(lldb) target modules load --file /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib __TEXT 0x7fccc80000 __DATA 0x1234000000
Or you can rigidly slide an entire shared library:
(lldb) target modules load --file /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib --slid 0x7fccc80000
This should improve bare board debugging when symbol files need to be slid around manually.
llvm-svn: 130796
command line driver, including the lldb prompt being output by
editline, the asynchronous process output & error messages, and
asynchronous messages written by target stop-hooks.
As part of this it introduces a new Stream class,
StreamAsynchronousIO. A StreamAsynchronousIO object is created with a
broadcaster, who will eventually broadcast the stream's data for a
listener to handle, and an event type indicating what type of event
the broadcaster will broadcast. When the Write method is called on a
StreamAsynchronousIO object, the data is appended to an internal
string. When the Flush method is called on a StreamAsynchronousIO
object, it broadcasts it's data string and clears the string.
Anything in lldb-core that needs to generate asynchronous output for
the end-user should use the StreamAsynchronousIO objects.
I have also added a new notification type for InputReaders, to let
them know that a asynchronous output has been written. This is to
allow the input readers to, for example, refresh their prompts and
lines, if desired. I added the case statements to all the input
readers to catch this notification, but I haven't added any code for
handling them yet (except to the IOChannel input reader).
llvm-svn: 130721
threads, and stack frame down in the lldb_private::Process,
lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrameList and the
lldb_private::StackFrame classes. We had some command line
commands that had duplicate versions of the process status
output ("thread list" and "process status" for example).
Removed the "file" command and placed it where it should
have been: "target create". Made an alias for "file" to
"target create" so we stay compatible with GDB commands.
We can now have multple usable targets in lldb at the
same time. This is nice for comparing two runs of a program
or debugging more than one binary at the same time. The
new command is "target select <target-idx>" and also to see
a list of the current targets you can use the new "target list"
command. The flow in a debug session can be:
(lldb) target create /path/to/exe/a.out
(lldb) breakpoint set --name main
(lldb) run
... hit breakpoint
(lldb) target create /bin/ls
(lldb) run /tmp
Process 36001 exited with status = 0 (0x00000000)
(lldb) target list
Current targets:
target #0: /tmp/args/a.out ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=35999, state=stopped )
* target #1: /bin/ls ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=36001, state=exited )
(lldb) target select 0
Current targets:
* target #0: /tmp/args/a.out ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=35999, state=stopped )
target #1: /bin/ls ( arch=x86_64-apple-darwin, platform=localhost, pid=36001, state=exited )
(lldb) bt
* thread #1: tid = 0x2d03, 0x0000000100000b9a a.out`main + 42 at main.c:16, stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
frame #0: 0x0000000100000b9a a.out`main + 42 at main.c:16
frame #1: 0x0000000100000b64 a.out`start + 52
Above we created a target for "a.out" and ran and hit a
breakpoint at "main". Then we created a new target for /bin/ls
and ran it. Then we listed the targest and selected our original
"a.out" program, so we showed two concurent debug sessions
going on at the same time.
llvm-svn: 129695
expressions that are simple enough to get passed to the "frame var" underpinnings. The parser code will
have to be changed to also query for the dynamic types & offsets as it is looking up variables.
The behavior of "frame var" is controlled in two ways. You can pass "-d {true/false} to the frame var
command to get the dynamic or static value of the variables you are printing.
There's also a general setting:
target.prefer-dynamic-value (boolean) = 'true'
which is consulted if you call "frame var" without supplying a value for the -d option.
llvm-svn: 129623
Modified the OptionGroupOptions to be able to specify only some of the options
that should be appended by using the usage_mask in the group defintions and
also provided a way to remap them to a new usage mask after the copy. This
allows options to be re-used and also targetted for specific option groups.
Modfied the CommandArgumentType to have a new eArgTypePlatform enumeration.
Taught the option parser to be able to automatically use the appropriate
auto completion for a given options if nothing is explicitly specified
in the option definition. So you don't have to specify it in the option
definition tables.
Renamed the default host platform name to "host", and the default platform
hostname to be "localhost".
Modified the "file" and "platform select" commands to make sure all options
and args are good prior to creating a new platform. Also defer the computation
of the architecture in the file command until all options are parsed and the
platform has either not been specified or reset to a new value to avoid
computing the arch more than once.
Switch the PluginManager code over to using llvm::StringRef for string
comparisons and got rid of all the AccessorXXX functions in lieu of the newer
mutex + collection singleton accessors.
llvm-svn: 129483
the CommandInterpreter where it was always being used.
Make sure that Modules can track their object file offsets correctly to
allow opening of sub object files (like the "__commpage" on darwin).
Modified the Platforms to be able to launch processes. The first part of this
move is the platform soon will become the entity that launches your program
and when it does, it uses a new ProcessLaunchInfo class which encapsulates
all process launching settings. This simplifies the internal APIs needed for
launching. I want to slowly phase out process launching from the process
classes, so for now we can still launch just as we used to, but eventually
the platform is the object that should do the launching.
Modified the Host::LaunchProcess in the MacOSX Host.mm to correctly be able
to launch processes with all of the new eLaunchFlag settings. Modified any
code that was manually launching processes to use the Host::LaunchProcess
functions.
Fixed an issue where lldb_private::Args had implicitly defined copy
constructors that could do the wrong thing. This has now been fixed by adding
an appropriate copy constructor and assignment operator.
Make sure we don't add empty ModuleSP entries to a module list.
Fixed the commpage module creation on MacOSX, but we still need to train
the MacOSX dynamic loader to not get rid of it when it doesn't have an entry
in the all image infos.
Abstracted many more calls from in ProcessGDBRemote down into the
GDBRemoteCommunicationClient subclass to make the classes cleaner and more
efficient.
Fixed the default iOS ARM register context to be correct and also added support
for targets that don't support the qThreadStopInfo packet by selecting the
current thread (only if needed) and then sending a stop reply packet.
Debugserver can now start up with a --unix-socket (-u for short) and can
then bind to port zero and send the port it bound to to a listening process
on the other end. This allows the GDB remote platform to spawn new GDB server
instances (debugserver) to allow platform debugging.
llvm-svn: 129351
GDBRemoteCommunicationServer classes. This involved adding a new packet
named "qSpeedTest" which can test the speed of a packet send/response pairs
using a wide variety of send/recv packet sizes.
Added a few new connection classes: one for shared memory, and one for using
mach messages (Apple only). The mach message stuff is experimental and not
working yet, but added so I don't lose the code. The shared memory stuff
uses pretty standard calls to setup shared memory.
llvm-svn: 128837
event.
Modified the ProcessInfo structure to contain all process arguments. Using the
new function calls on MacOSX allows us to see the full process name, not just
the first 16 characters.
Added a new platform command: "platform process info <pid> [<pid> <pid> ...]"
that can be used to get detailed information for a process including all
arguments, user and group info and more.
llvm-svn: 128694
class now implements the Host functionality for a lot of things that make
sense by default so that subclasses can check:
int
PlatformSubclass::Foo ()
{
if (IsHost())
return Platform::Foo (); // Let the platform base class do the host specific stuff
// Platform subclass specific code...
int result = ...
return result;
}
Added new functions to the platform:
virtual const char *Platform::GetUserName (uint32_t uid);
virtual const char *Platform::GetGroupName (uint32_t gid);
The user and group names are cached locally so that remote platforms can avoid
sending packets multiple times to resolve this information.
Added the parent process ID to the ProcessInfo class.
Added a new ProcessInfoMatch class which helps us to match processes up
and changed the Host layer over to using this new class. The new class allows
us to search for processs:
1 - by name (equal to, starts with, ends with, contains, and regex)
2 - by pid
3 - And further check for parent pid == value, uid == value, gid == value,
euid == value, egid == value, arch == value, parent == value.
This is all hookup up to the "platform process list" command which required
adding dumping routines to dump process information. If the Host class
implements the process lookup routines, you can now lists processes on
your local machine:
machine1.foo.com % lldb
(lldb) platform process list

The lldb-platform implements everything with the Host:: layer, so this should
"just work" for linux. I will probably be adding more stuff to the Host layer
for launching processes and attaching to processes so that this support should
eventually just work as well.
Modified the target to be able to be created with an architecture that differs
from the main executable. This is needed for iOS debugging since we can have
an "armv6" binary which can run on an "armv7" machine, so we want to be able
to do:
% lldb
(lldb) platform create remote-ios
(lldb) file --arch armv7 a.out
Where "a.out" is an armv6 executable. The platform then can correctly decide
to open all "armv7" images for all dependent shared libraries.
Modified the disassembly to show the current PC value. Example output:
(lldb) disassemble --frame
a.out`main:
0x1eb7: pushl %ebp
0x1eb8: movl %esp, %ebp
0x1eba: pushl %ebx
0x1ebb: subl $20, %esp
0x1ebe: calll 0x1ec3 ; main + 12 at test.c:18
0x1ec3: popl %ebx
-> 0x1ec4: calll 0x1f12 ; getpid
0x1ec9: movl %eax, 4(%esp)
0x1ecd: leal 199(%ebx), %eax
0x1ed3: movl %eax, (%esp)
0x1ed6: calll 0x1f18 ; printf
0x1edb: leal 213(%ebx), %eax
0x1ee1: movl %eax, (%esp)
0x1ee4: calll 0x1f1e ; puts
0x1ee9: calll 0x1f0c ; getchar
0x1eee: movl $20, (%esp)
0x1ef5: calll 0x1e6a ; sleep_loop at test.c:6
0x1efa: movl $12, %eax
0x1eff: addl $20, %esp
0x1f02: popl %ebx
0x1f03: leave
0x1f04: ret
This can be handy when dealing with the new --line options that was recently
added:
(lldb) disassemble --line
a.out`main + 13 at test.c:19
18 {
-> 19 printf("Process: %i\n\n", getpid());
20 puts("Press any key to continue..."); getchar();
-> 0x1ec4: calll 0x1f12 ; getpid
0x1ec9: movl %eax, 4(%esp)
0x1ecd: leal 199(%ebx), %eax
0x1ed3: movl %eax, (%esp)
0x1ed6: calll 0x1f18 ; printf
Modified the ModuleList to have a lookup based solely on a UUID. Since the
UUID is typically the MD5 checksum of a binary image, there is no need
to give the path and architecture when searching for a pre-existing
image in an image list.
Now that we support remote debugging a bit better, our lldb_private::Module
needs to be able to track what the original path for file was as the platform
knows it, as well as where the file is locally. The module has the two
following functions to retrieve both paths:
const FileSpec &Module::GetFileSpec () const;
const FileSpec &Module::GetPlatformFileSpec () const;
llvm-svn: 128563
public types and public enums. This was done to keep the SWIG stuff from
parsing all sorts of enums and types that weren't needed, and allows us to
abstract our API better.
llvm-svn: 128239
On Mac OS X we now have 3 platforms:
PlatformDarwin - must be subclassed to fill in the missing pure virtual funcs
but this implements all the common functionality between
remote-macosx and remote-ios. It also allows for another
platform to be used (remote-gdb-server for now) when doing
remote connections. Keeping this pluggable will allow for
flexibility.
PlatformMacOSX - Now implements both local and remote macosx desktop platforms.
PlatformRemoteiOS - Remote only iOS that knows how to locate SDK files in the
cached SDK locations on the host.
A new agnostic platform has been created:
PlatformRemoteGDBServer - this implements the platform using the GDB remote
protocol and uses the built in lldb_private::Host
static functions to implement many queries.
llvm-svn: 128193
platform connect <args>
platform disconnect
Each platform can decide the args they want to use for "platform connect". I
will need to add a function that gets the connect options for the current
platform as each one can have different options and argument counts.
Hooked up more functionality in the PlatformMacOSX and PlatformRemoteiOS.
Also started an platform agnostic PlatformRemoteGDBServer.cpp which can end
up being used by one or more actual platforms. It can also be specialized and
allow for platform specific commands.
llvm-svn: 128123
GDBRemoteCommunication - The base GDB remote communication class
GDBRemoteCommunicationClient - designed to be used for clients the connect to
a remote GDB server
GDBRemoteCommunicationServer - designed to be used on the server side of a
GDB server implementation.
llvm-svn: 128070
overlap in the SWIG integration which has now been fixed by introducing
callbacks for initializing SWIG for each language (python only right now).
There was also a breakpoint command callback that called into SWIG which has
been abtracted into a callback to avoid cross over as well.
Added a new binary: lldb-platform
This will be the start of the remote platform that will use as much of the
Host functionality to do its job so it should just work on all platforms.
It is pretty hollowed out for now, but soon it will implement a platform
using the GDB remote packets as the transport.
llvm-svn: 128053
static archive that can be linked against. LLDB.framework/lldb.so
exports a very controlled API. Splitting the API into a static
library allows other tools (debugserver for now) to use the power
of the LLDB debugger core, yet not export it as its API is not
portable or maintainable. The Host layer and many of the other
internal only APIs can now be statically linked against.
Now LLDB.framework/lldb.so links against "liblldb-core.a" instead
of compiling the .o files only for the shared library. This fix
is only for compiling with Xcode as the Makefile based build already
does this.
The Xcode projecdt compiler has been changed to LLVM. Anyone using
Xcode 3 will need to manually change the compiler back to GCC 4.2,
or update to Xcode 4.
llvm-svn: 127963
We were dropping the expansion of -rpath=$(LibDir) on linux, which resulted in
the build not being able to resolve libLLVM.so. Bring in the definition before
expanding the values hanging off LD.Flags.
Thanks to Jason E. Aten for reporting this!
llvm-svn: 127570
an interface to a local or remote debugging platform. By default each host OS
that supports LLDB should be registering a "default" platform that will be
used unless a new platform is selected. Platforms are responsible for things
such as:
- getting process information by name or by processs ID
- finding platform files. This is useful for remote debugging where there is
an SDK with files that might already or need to be cached for debug access.
- getting a list of platform supported architectures in the exact order they
should be selected. This helps the native x86 platform on MacOSX select the
correct x86_64/i386 slice from universal binaries.
- Connect to remote platforms for remote debugging
- Resolving an executable including finding an executable inside platform
specific bundles (macosx uses .app bundles that contain files) and also
selecting the appropriate slice of universal files for a given platform.
So by default there is always a local platform, but remote platforms can be
connected to. I will soon be adding a new "platform" command that will support
the following commands:
(lldb) platform connect --name machine1 macosx connect://host:port
Connected to "machine1" platform.
(lldb) platform disconnect macosx
This allows LLDB to be well setup to do remote debugging and also once
connected process listing and finding for things like:
(lldb) process attach --name x<TAB>
The currently selected platform plug-in can now auto complete any available
processes that start with "x". The responsibilities for the platform plug-in
will soon grow and expand.
