<title>[LLDB][ProcessWindows] Set exit status on instance rather than going through all targets (#159308)</title>

<content type='text'>
When quitting LLDB on Windows while a process was still running, LLDB
would take unusually long to exit. This was due to a temporary deadlock:

The main thread was destroying the processes. In doing so, it iterated
over the target list:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/88c64f76ed2ca226da99b99f60d316b1519fc7d8/lldb/source/Core/Debugger.cpp#L1095-L1098

This locks the list for the whole iteration. Finalizing the process
would eventually lead to `DebuggerThread::StopDebugging`, which
terminates the process and waits for it to exit:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/88c64f76ed2ca226da99b99f60d316b1519fc7d8/lldb/source/Plugins/Process/Windows/Common/DebuggerThread.cpp#L196
The debugger loop (on a separate thread) would see that the process
exited and call
[`ProcessWindows::OnExitProcess`](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/88c64f76ed2ca226da99b99f60d316b1519fc7d8/lldb/source/Plugins/Process/Windows/Common/ProcessWindows.cpp#L656-L673).
This calls the static function
[`Process::SetProcessExitStatus`](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/0a7a7d56fc882653335beba0d1f8ea9f26089c22/lldb/source/Target/Process.cpp#L1098-L1126).
This tries to find the process by its ID from the debugger's target
list. Doing so requires locking the list, so the debugger thread would
then be stuck on

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/0a7a7d56fc882653335beba0d1f8ea9f26089c22/lldb/source/Target/TargetList.cpp#L403

After 5s, the main thread would give up waiting. So every exit where the
process was still running would be delayed by about 5s.

Since `ProcessWindows` would find itself when calling
`SetProcessExitStatus`, we can call `SetExitStatus` directly.

This can also make some tests run faster. For example, the DIA PDB tests
previously took 15s to run on my PC (24 jobs) and now take 5s. For all
shell tests, the difference isn't that big (only about 3s), because most
don't run into this and the tests run in parallel.</content>

The new test added in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/132783
was failing on Windows because it created a new error to say it did not
support the feature, but then returned the existing, default constructed
error. Which was a success value.

This also changes the GDBRemote error message to the same phrasing used
in all the other places so we don't have to special case any platform.</content>

<title>[lldb] Change lldb's breakpoint handling behavior, reland (#126988)</title>

lldb today has two rules: When a thread stops at a BreakpointSite, we
set the thread's StopReason to be "breakpoint hit" (regardless if we've
actually hit the breakpoint, or if we've merely stopped *at* the
breakpoint instruction/point and haven't tripped it yet). And second,
when resuming a process, any thread sitting at a BreakpointSite is
silently stepped over the BreakpointSite -- because we've already
flagged the breakpoint hit when we stopped there originally.

In this patch, I change lldb to only set a thread's stop reason to
breakpoint-hit when we've actually executed the instruction/triggered
the breakpoint. When we resume, we only silently step past a
BreakpointSite that we've registered as hit. We preserve this state
across inferior function calls that the user may do while stopped, etc.

Also, when a user adds a new breakpoint at $pc while stopped, or changes
$pc to be the address of a BreakpointSite, we will silently step past
that breakpoint when the process resumes. This is purely a UX call, I
don't think there's any person who wants to set a breakpoint at $pc and
then hit it immediately on resuming.

One non-intuitive UX from this change, butt is necessary: If you're
stopped at a BreakpointSite that has not yet executed, you `stepi`, you
will hit the breakpoint and the pc will not yet advance. This thread has
not completed its stepi, and the ThreadPlanStepInstruction is still on
the stack. If you then `continue` the thread, lldb will now stop and
say, "instruction step completed", one instruction past the
BreakpointSite. You can continue a second time to resume execution.

The bugs driving this change are all from lldb dropping the real stop
reason for a thread and setting it to breakpoint-hit when that was not
the case. Jim hit one where we have an aarch64 watchpoint that triggers
one instruction before a BreakpointSite. On this arch we are notified of
the watchpoint hit after the instruction has been unrolled -- we disable
the watchpoint, instruction step, re-enable the watchpoint and collect
the new value. But now we're on a BreakpointSite so the watchpoint-hit
stop reason is lost.

Another was reported by ZequanWu in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/lldb-unable-to-break-at-start/78282 we
attach to/launch a process with the pc at a BreakpointSite and
misbehave. Caroline Tice mentioned it is also a problem they've had with
putting a breakpoint on _dl_debug_state.

The change to each Process plugin that does execution control is that

1. If we've stopped at a BreakpointSite that has not been executed yet,
we will call Thread::SetThreadStoppedAtUnexecutedBP(pc) to record that.
When the thread resumes, if the pc is still at the same site, we will
continue, hit the breakpoint, and stop again.

2. When we've actually hit a breakpoint (enabled for this thread or
not), the Process plugin should call
Thread::SetThreadHitBreakpointSite(). When we go to resume the thread,
we will push a step-over-breakpoint ThreadPlan before resuming.

The biggest set of changes is to StopInfoMachException where we
translate a Mach Exception into a stop reason. The Mach exception codes
differ in a few places depending on the target (unambiguously), and I
didn't want to duplicate the new code for each target so I've tested
what mach exceptions we get for each action on each target, and
reorganized StopInfoMachException::CreateStopReasonWithMachException to
document these possible values, and handle them without specializing
based on the target arch.

I first landed this patch in July 2024 via
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/96260

but the CI bots and wider testing found a number of test case failures
that needed to be updated, I reverted it. I've fixed all of those issues
in separate PRs and this change should run cleanly on all the CI bots
now.

* We now assert that each required breakpoint has at least 1 location,
to prevent an issue like that in the future.
* We are less strict about the unsupported error message, because it

This reverts commit 22561cfb443267905d4190f0e2a738e6b412457f and fixes
b7b9ccf44988edf49886743ae5c3cf4184db211f (#112079).

The problem is that x86_64 and Arm 32-bit have memory regions above the
stack that are readable but not writeable. First Arm:
```
(lldb) memory region --all
&lt;...&gt;
[0x00000000fffcf000-0x00000000ffff0000) rw- [stack]
[0x00000000ffff0000-0x00000000ffff1000) r-x [vectors]
[0x00000000ffff1000-0xffffffffffffffff) ---
```
Then x86_64:
```
$ cat /proc/self/maps
&lt;...&gt;
7ffdcd148000-7ffdcd16a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
7ffdcd193000-7ffdcd196000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0                          [vvar]
7ffdcd196000-7ffdcd197000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0                          [vdso]
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 --xp 00000000 00:00 0                  [vsyscall]
```
Compare this to AArch64 where the test did pass:
```
$ cat /proc/self/maps
&lt;...&gt;
ffffb87dc000-ffffb87dd000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0                          [vvar]
ffffb87dd000-ffffb87de000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0                          [vdso]
ffffb87de000-ffffb87e0000 r--p 0002a000 00:3c 76927217                   /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1
ffffb87e0000-ffffb87e2000 rw-p 0002c000 00:3c 76927217                   /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1
fffff4216000-fffff4237000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
```
To solve this, look up the memory region of the stack pointer (using
https://lldb.llvm.org/resources/lldbgdbremote.html#qmemoryregioninfo-addr)
and constrain the read to within that region. Since we know the stack is
all readable and writeable.

I have also added skipIfRemote to the tests, since getting them working
in that context is too complex to be worth it.

Memory write failures now display the range they tried to write, and
register write errors will show the name of the register where possible.

The patch also includes a workaround for a an issue where the test code
could mistake an `x` response that happens to begin with an `O` for an
output packet (stdout). This workaround will not be necessary one we
start using the [new
implementation](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-fixing-incompatibilties-of-the-x-packet-w-r-t-gdb/84288)
of the `x` packet.
