Remove the is_mangled flag from Mangled and Symbol
Testing whether a name is mangled or not is extremely cheap and can be done by looking at the first two characters. Mangled knows how to do it. On the flip side, many call sites that currently pass in an is_mangled determination do not know how to correctly do it (for example, they leave out Swift mangling prefixes).
This patch removes this entry point and just forced Mangled to determine the mangledness of a string itself.

Unify the two CRC implementations
David added the JamCRC implementation in r246590. More recently, Eugene added a CRC-32 implementation in r357901, which falls back to zlib's crc32 function if present.
These checksums are essentially the same, so having multiple implementations seems unnecessary. This replaces the CRC-32 implementation with the simpler one from JamCRC, and implements the JamCRC interface in terms of CRC-32 since this means it can use zlib's implementation when available, saving a few bytes and potentially making it faster.
JamCRC took an ArrayRef<char> argument, and CRC-32 took a StringRef. This patch changes it to ArrayRef<uint8_t> which I think is the best choice, and simplifies a few of the callers nicely.

Explicitly set entry point arch when it's thumb [Second Try]
Summary: This is a redo of D68069 because I reverted it due to some concerns that were now addressed along with the new comments that @labath added.
I found a case where the main android binary (app_process32) had thumb code at its entry point but no entry in the symbol table indicating this. This made lldb set a 4 byte breakpoint at that address (we default to arm code) instead of a 2 byte one (like we should for thumb). The big deal with this is that the expression evaluator uses the entry point as a way to know when a JITed expression has finished executing by putting a breakpoint there. Because of this, evaluating expressions on certain android devices (Google Pixel something) made the process crash. This was fixed by checking this specific situation when we parse the symbol table and add an artificial symbol for this 2 byte range and indicating that it's arm thumb.
I created 2 unit tests for this, one to check that now we know that the entry point is arm thumb, and the other to make sure we didn't change the behaviour for arm code.
I also run the following on the command line with the `app_process32` where I found the issue: **Before:** ``` (lldb) dis -s 0x1640 -e 0x1644 app_process32[0x1640]: .long 0xf0004668 ; unknown opcode ``` **After:** ``` (lldb) dis -s 0x1640 -e 0x1644 app_process32`: app_process32[0x1640] <+0>: mov r0, sp app_process32[0x1642]: andeq r0, r0, r0 ```

[lldb][ELF] Read symbols from .gnu_debugdata sect.

[lldb][ELF] Read symbols from .gnu_debugdata sect.
Summary: If the .symtab section is stripped from the binary it might be that there's a .gnu_debugdata section which contains a smaller .symtab in order to provide enough information to create a backtrace with function names or to set and hit a breakpoint on a function name.
This change looks for a .gnu_debugdata section in the ELF object file. The .gnu_debugdata section contains a xz-compressed ELF file with a .symtab section inside. Symbols from that compressed .symtab section are merged with the main object file's .dynsym symbols (if any). In addition we always load the .dynsym even if there's a .symtab section.
For example, the Fedora and RHEL operating systems strip their binaries but keep a .gnu_debugdata section. While gdb already can read this section, LLDB until this patch couldn't. To test this patch on a Fedora or RHEL operating system, try to set a breakpoint on the "help" symbol in the "zip" binary. Before this patch, only GDB can set this breakpoint; now LLDB also can do so without installing extra debug symbols:
lldb /usr/bin/zip -b -o "b help" -o "r" -o "bt" -- -h
The above line runs LLDB in batch mode and on the "/usr/bin/zip -h" target:
(lldb) target create "/usr/bin/zip" Current executable set to '/usr/bin/zip' (x86_64). (lldb) settings set -- target.run-args "-h"
Before the program starts, we set a breakpoint on the "help" symbol:
(lldb) b help Breakpoint 1: where = zip`help, address = 0x00000000004093b0
Once the program is run and has hit the breakpoint we ask for a backtrace:
(lldb) r Process 10073 stopped * thread #1, name = 'zip', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1 frame #0: 0x00000000004093b0 zip`help zip`help: -> 0x4093b0 <+0>: pushq %r12 0x4093b2 <+2>: movq 0x2af5f(%rip), %rsi ; + 4056 0x4093b9 <+9>: movl $0x1, %edi 0x4093be <+14>: xorl %eax, %eax
Process 10073 launched: '/usr/bin/zip' (x86_64) (lldb) bt * thread #1, name = 'zip', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1 * frame #0: 0x00000000004093b0 zip`help frame #1: 0x0000000000403970 zip`main + 3248 frame #2: 0x00007ffff7d8bf33 libc.so.6`__libc_start_main + 243 frame #3: 0x0000000000408cee zip`_start + 46
In order to support the .gnu_debugdata section, one has to have LZMA development headers installed. The CMake section, that controls this part looks for the LZMA headers and enables .gnu_debugdata support by default if they are found; otherwise or if explicitly requested, the minidebuginfo support is disabled.
GDB supports the "mini debuginfo" section .gnu_debugdata since v7.6 (2013).

[LLDB][ELF] Load both, .symtab and .dynsym sections
Summary: This change ensures that the .dynsym section will be parsed even when there's already is a .symtab.
It is motivated because of minidebuginfo (https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/MiniDebugInfo.html#MiniDebugInfo).
There it says:
Keep all the function symbols not already in the dynamic symbol table.
That means the .symtab embedded inside the .gnu_debugdata does NOT contain the symbols from .dynsym. But in order to put a breakpoint on all symbols we need to load both. I hope this makes sense.
My other patch D66791 implements support for minidebuginfo, that's why I need this change.

ObjectFileELF: permit thread-local sections with overlapping file addresses
Summary: In an attempt to make file-address-based lookups more predictable, in D55998 we started ignoring sections which would result in file address overlaps. It turns out this was too aggressive because thread-local sections typically will have file addresses which apear to overlap regular data/code. This does not cause a problem at runtime because thread-local sections are loaded into memory using special logic, but it can cause problems for lldb when trying to lookup objects by their file address.
This patch changes ObjectFileELF to permit thread-local sections to overlap regular ones by essentially giving them a separate address space. It also makes them more symmetrical to regular sections by creating container sections from PT_TLS segments.
Simultaneously, the patch changes the regular file address lookup logic to ignore sections with the thread-specific bit set. I believe this is what the users looking up file addresses would typically expect, as looking up thread-local data generally requires more complex logic (e.g. DWARF has a special opcode for that).

ObjectFile[ELF]: Refactor gnu_debuglink interface
Summary: The contents of the gnu_debuglink section were passed through the GetDebugSymbolFilePaths interface, which was more generic than needed. As the only class implementing this function is ObjectFileELF, we can modify the function to return just a single FileSpec (instead of a list). Also, since the SymbolVendorELF already assumes ELF object files, we don't have to make this method available on the generic ObjectFile interface -- instead we can put it on ObjectFileELF directly.
This change also makes is so that if the Module has an explicit symbol file spec set, we disregard the value the value of the debug link (instead of doing a secondary lookup using that). I think it makes sense to honor the users wishes if he had explicitly set the symbol file spec, and this seems to be consistent with what SymbolVendorMacOSX is doing (SymbolVendorMacOSX.cpp:125).
The main reason for making these changes is to make the treatment of build-ids and debug links simpler in the follow-up patch.

Add llvm-style RTTI to ObjectFile hierarchy
Summary: On the heels of D62934, this patch uses the same approach to introduce llvm RTTI support to the ObjectFile hierarchy. It also replaces the existing uses of GetPluginName doing run-time type checks with llvm::dyn_cast and friends.
This formally introduces new dependencies from some other plugins to ObjectFile plugins. However, I believe this is fine because: - these dependencies were already kind of there, and the only reason we could get away with not modeling them explicitly was because the code was relying on magically knowing what will GetPluginName() return for a particular kind of object files. - the dependencies themselves are logical (it makes sense for SymbolVendorELF to depend on ObjectFileELF), or at least don't actively get in the way (the JitLoaderGDB->MachO thing). - they don't introduce any new dependency loops as ObjectFile plugins don't depend on any other plugins

[lldb] NFC modernize codebase with modernize-use-nullptr
Summary: NFC = [[ https://llvm.org/docs/Lexicon.html#nfc | Non functional change ]]
This commit is the result of modernizing the LLDB codebase by using `nullptr` instread of `0` or `NULL`. See https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/modernize-use-nullptr.html for more information.
This is the command I ran and I to fix and format the code base:
``` run-clang-tidy.py \ -header-filter='.*' \ -checks='-*,modernize-use-nullptr' \ -fix ~/dev/llvm-project/lldb/.* \ -format \ -style LLVM \ -p ~/llvm-builds/debug-ninja-gcc ```
NOTE: There were also changes to `llvm/utils/unittest` but I did not include them because I felt that maybe this library shall be updated in isolation somehow.
NOTE: I know this is a rather large commit but it is a nobrainer in most parts.

[JITLoaderGDB] Set eTypeJIT for objects read from JIT descriptors
Summary: First part of a fix for JITed code debugging. This has been a regression from 5.0 to 6.0 and it's is still reproducible on current master: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36209
The address of the breakpoint site is corrupt: the 0x4 value we end up with, looks like an offset on a zero base address. When we parse the ELF section headers from the JIT descriptor, the load address for the text section we find in `header.sh_addr` is correct.
The bug manifests in `VMAddressProvider::GetVMRange(const ELFSectionHeader &)` (follow it from `ObjectFileELF::CreateSections()`). Here we think the object type was `eTypeObjectFile` and unleash some extra logic [1] which essentially overwrites the address with a zero value.
The object type is deduced from the ELF header's `e_type` in `ObjectFileELF::CalculateType()`. It never returns `eTypeJIT`, because the ELF header has no representation for it [2]. Instead the in-memory ELF object states `ET_REL`, which leads to `eTypeObjectFile`. This is what we get from `lli` at least since 3.x. (Might it be better to write `ET_EXEC` on the JIT side instead? In fact, relocations were already applied at this point, so "Relocatable" is not quite exact.)
So, this patch proposes to set `eTypeJIT` explicitly whenever we read from a JIT descriptor. In `ObjectFileELF::CreateSections()` we can then call `GetType()`, which returns the explicit value or otherwise falls back to `CalculateType()`.
LLDB then sets the breakpoint successfully. Next step: debug info. ``` Process 1056 stopped * thread #1, name = 'lli', stop reason = breakpoint 1.2 frame #0: 0x00007ffff7ff7000 JIT(0x3ba2030)`jitbp() JIT(0x3ba2030)`jitbp: -> 0x7ffff7ff7000 <+0>: pushq %rbp 0x7ffff7ff7001 <+1>: movq %rsp, %rbp 0x7ffff7ff7004 <+4>: movabsq $0x7ffff7ff6000, %rdi ; imm = 0x7FFFF7FF6000 0x7ffff7ff700e <+14>: movabsq $0x7ffff6697e80, %rcx ; imm = 0x7FFFF6697E80 ```
[1] It was first introduced with https://reviews.llvm.org/D38142#change-lF6csxV8HdlL, which has also been the original breaking change. The code has changed a lot since then.

Allow direct comparison of ConstString against StringRef
Summary: When we want to compare a ConstString against a string literal (or any other non-ConstString), we currently have to explicitly turn the other string into a ConstString. This makes sense as comparing ConstStrings against each other is only a fast pointer comparison.
However, currently we (rather incorrectly) use in several places in LLDB temporary ConstStrings when we just want to compare a given ConstString against a hardcoded value, for example like this: ``` if (extension != ConstString(".oat") && extension != ConstString(".odex")) ```
Obviously this kind of defeats the point of ConstStrings. In the comparison above we would construct two temporary ConstStrings every time we hit the given code. Constructing a ConstString is relatively expensive: we need to go to the StringPool, take a read and possibly an exclusive write-lock and then look up our temporary string in the string map of the pool. So we do a lot of heavy work for essentially just comparing a <6 characters in two strings.
I initially wanted to just fix these issues by turning the temporary ConstString in static variables/ members, but that made the code much less readable. Instead I propose to add a new overload for the ConstString comparison operator that takes a StringRef. This comparison operator directly compares the ConstString content against the given StringRef without turning the StringRef into a ConstString.
This means that the example above can look like this now: ``` if (extension != ".oat" && extension != ".odex") ``` It also no longer has to unlock/lock two locks and call multiple functions in other TUs for constructing the temporary ConstString instances. Instead this should end up just being a direct string comparison of the two given strings on most compilers.
This patch also directly updates all uses of temporary and short ConstStrings in LLDB to use this new comparison operator. It also adds a some unit tests for the new and old comparison operator.

[NFC] Remove ASCII lines from comments
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
[NFC] Remove ASCII lines from comments
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.
