[trace][intel pt] Introduce wall clock time for each trace item

- Decouple TSCs from trace items
- Turn TSCs into events just like CPUs. The new name is HW clock tick, wich could be reused by other vendors.
- Add a GetWallTime that returns the wall time that the trace plug-in can infer for each trace item.
- For intel pt, we are doing the following interpolation: if an instruction takes less than 1 TSC, we use that duration, otherwise, we assume the instruction took 1 TSC. This helps us avoid having to handle context switches, changes to kernel, idle times, decoding errors, etc. We are just trying to show some approximation and not the real data. For the real data, TSCs are the way to go. Besides that, we are making sure that no two trace items will give the same interpolation value. Finally, we are using as time 0 the time at which tracing started.

[trace][intel pt] Create a CPU change event and expose it in the dumper

Thanks to [email protected] for coming up with this feature.

When tracing in per-cpu mode, we have information of in which cpu we are execution each instruction, which comes from the context switch trace. This diff makes this information available as a `cpu changed event`, which an additional accessor in the cursor `GetCPU()`. As cpu changes are very infrequent, any consumer should listen to cpu change events instead of querying the actual cpu of a trace item. Once a cpu change event is seen, the consumer can invoke GetCPU() to get that information. Also, it's possible to invoke GetCPU() on an arbitrary instruction item, which will return the last cpu seen. However, this call is O(logn) and should be used sparingly.

Manually tested with a sample program that starts on cpu 52, then goes to 18, and then goes back to 52.

[trace] Add an option to save a compact trace bundle

A trace bundle contains many trace files, and, in the case of intel pt, the
largest files are often the context switch traces because they are not
compressed by default. As a way to improve this, I'm adding a --compact option
to the `trace save` command that filters out unwanted processes from the
context switch traces. Eventually we can do the same for intel pt traces as
well.

[trace] Make events first class items in the trace cursor and rework errors

We want to include events with metadata, like context switches, and this
requires the API to handle events with payloads (e.g. information about
such context switches). Besides this, we want to support multiple
similar events between two consecutive instructions, like multiple
context switches. However, the current implementation is not good for this because
we are defining events as bitmask enums associated with specific
instructions. Thus, we need to decouple instructions from events and
make events actual items in the trace, just like instructions and
errors.

- Add accessors in the TraceCursor to know if an item is an event or not
- Modify from the TraceDumper all the way to DecodedThread to support
- Renamed the paused event to disabled.
- Improved the tsc handling logic. I was using an API for getting the tsc from libipt, but that was an overkill that should be used when not processing events manually, but as we are already processing events, we can more easily get the tscs.
event items. Fortunately this simplified many things
- As part of this refactor, I also fixed and long stating issue, which is that some non decoding errors were being inserted in the decoded thread. I changed this so that TraceIntelPT::Decode returns an error if the decoder couldn't be set up proplerly. Then, errors within a trace are actual anomalies found in between instrutions.

All test pass

[trace] Add an option to dump instructions in json and to a file

In order to provide simple scripting support on top of instruction traces, a simple solution is to enhance the `dump instructions` command and allow printing in json and directly to a file. The format is verbose and not space efficient, but it's not supposed to be used for really large traces, in which case the TraceCursor API is the way to go.

- add a -j option for printing the dump in json
- add a -J option for pretty printing the json output
- add a -F option for specifying an output file
- add a -a option for dumping all the instructions available starting at the initial point configured with the other flags
- add tests for all cases
- refactored the instruction dumper and abstracted the actual "printing" logic. There are two writer implementations: CLI and JSON. This made the dumper itself much more readable and maintanable

[trace][intelpt] Support system-wide tracing [14] - Decode per cpu

This is the final functional patch to support intel pt decoding per cpu.
It works by doing the following:

- First, all context switches are split by tid and sorted in order. This produces a list of continuous executes per thread per core.
- Then, all intel pt subtraces are split by PSB boundaries and assigned to individual thread continuous executions on the same core by doing simple TSC-based comparisons.
- With this, we have, per thread, a sorted list of continuous executions each one with a list of intel pt subtraces. Up to this point, this is really fast because no instructions were actually decoded.
- Then, each thread can be decoded by traversing their continuous executions and intel pt subtraces. An advantage of having these continuous executions is that we can identify if a continuous exexecution doesn't have intel pt data, and thus has a gap in it. We can later to more sofisticated comparisons to identify if within a continuous execution there are gaps.

I'm adding a test as well.

[trace][intelpt] Support system-wide tracing [13] - Add context switch decoding

- Add the logic that parses all cpu context switch traces and produces blocks of continuous executions, which will be later used to assign intel pt subtraces to threads and to identify gaps. This logic can also identify if the context switch trace is malformed.
- The continuous executions blocks are able to indicate when there were some contention issues when producing the context switch trace. See the inline comments for more information.
- Update the 'dump info' command to show information and stats related to the multicore decoding flow, including timing about context switch decoding.
- Add the logic to conver nanoseconds to TSCs.
- Fix a bug when returning the context switches. Now they data returned makes sense and even empty traces can be returned from lldb-server.
- Finish the necessary bits for loading and saving a multi-core trace bundle from disk.
- Change some size_t to uint64_t for compatibility with 32 bit systems.

[trace][intelpt] Support system-wide tracing [12] - Support multi-core trace load and save

:q!
This diff is massive, but it's because it connects the client with lldb-server
and also ensures that the postmortem case works.

- Flatten the postmortem trace schema. The reason is that the schema has become quite complex due to the new multicore case, which defeats the original purpose of having a schema that could work for every trace plug-in. At this point, it's better that each trace plug-in defines it's own full schema. This means that the only common field is "type".
-- Because of this new approach, I merged the "common" trace load and saving functionalities into the IntelPT one. This simplified the code quite a bit. If we eventually implement another trace plug-in, we can see then what we could reuse.
-- The new schema, which is flattened, has now better comments and is parsed better. A change I did was to disallow hex addresses, because they are a bit error prone. I'm asking now to print the address in decimal.
-- Renamed "intel" to "GenuineIntel" in the schema because that's what you see in /proc/cpuinfo.
- Implemented reading the context switch trace data buffer. I had to do
some refactors to do that cleanly.
-- A major change that I did here was to simplify the perf_event circular buffer reading logic. It was too complex. Maybe the original Intel author had something different in mind.
- Implemented all the necessary bits to read trace.json files with per-core data.
- Implemented all the necessary bits to save to disk per-core trace session.
- Added a test that ensures that parsing and saving to disk works.

[trace][intel pt] Support events

A trace might contain events traced during the target's execution. For
example, a thread might be paused for some period of time due to context
switches or breakpoints, which actually force a context switch. Not only
that, a trace might be paused because the CPU decides to trace only a
specific part of the target, like the address filtering provided by
intel pt, which will cause pause events. Besides this case, other kinds
of events might exist.

This patch adds the method `TraceCursor::GetEvents()`` that returns the
list of events that happened right before the instruction being pointed
at by the cursor. Some refactors were done to make this change simpler.

Besides this new API, the instruction dumper now supports the -e flag
which shows pause events, like in the following example, where pauses
happened due to breakpoints.

[trace][intelpt] Add task timer classes

I'm adding two new classes that can be used to measure the duration of long
tasks as process and thread level, e.g. decoding, fetching data from
lldb-server, etc. In this first patch, I'm using it to measure the time it takes
to decode each thread, which is printed out with the `dump info` command. In a
later patch I'll start adding process-level tasks and I might move these
classes to the upper Trace level, instead of having them in the intel-pt
plugin. I might need to do that anyway in the future when we have to
measure HTR. For now, I want to keep the impact of this change minimal.

With it, I was able to generate the following info of a very big trace:

```
(lldb) thread trace dump info Trace technology: intel-pt

thread #1: tid = 616081
Total number of instructions: 9729366

Memory usage:
Raw trace size: 1024 KiB
Total approximate memory usage (excluding raw trace): 123517.34 KiB
Average memory usage per instruction (excluding raw trace): 13.00 bytes

Timing:
Decoding instructions: 1.62s

Errors:
Number of TSC decoding errors: 0
```

As seen above, it took 1.62 seconds to decode 9.7M instructions. This is great
news, as we don't need to do any optimization work in this area.

[intelpt] Refactor timestamps out of `IntelPTInstruction`
Storing timestamps (TSCs) in a more efficient map at the decoded thread level to speed up TSC lookup, as well as reduce the amount of memory used by each decoded instruction. Also introduced TSC range which keeps the current timestamp valid for all subsequent instructions until the next timestamp is emitted.

[intelpt] Refactoring instruction decoding for flexibility

Now the decoded thread has Append methods that provide more flexibility
in terms of the underlying data structure that represents the

as map and thus reduce the size of each instruction.

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.

[trace][intel-pt] Implement trace start and trace stop

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.

[trace] Scaffold "thread trace dump instructions"

Depends on D88841

As per the discussion in the RFC, we'll implement both

thread trace dump [instructions | functions]

This is the first step in implementing the "instructions" dumping command.

It includes:

- A minimal ProcessTrace plugin for representing processes from a trace file. I noticed that it was a required step to mimic how core-based processes are initialized, e.g. ProcessElfCore and ProcessMinidump. I haven't had the need to create ThreadTrace yet, though. So far HistoryThread seems good enough.
- The command handling itself in CommandObjectThread, which outputs a placeholder text instead of the actual instructions. I'll do that part in the next diff.
- Tests
