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.

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.

My apologies for the large patch. With the exception of ConstString.h
itself it was entirely produced by sed.
ConstString has exactly one const char * data member, so passing a
ConstString by reference is not any more efficient than copying it by
value. In both cases a single pointer is passed. But passing it by
value makes it harder to accidentally return the address of a local
object.

Summary:
These functions should always return the opposite of the
`Triple{Environment,OS,Vendor}WasSpecified` functions. Unspecified unknown is
the same as unspecified, which is why one set of functions should give us what
we want. It's possible to have specified unknown, which is why we can't just
rely on checking the enum values of vendor/os/environment. We must also ensure
that the names of these are empty and not "unknown".

Split the recognition into NetBSD executables & shared libraries
and core(5) files.
Introduce new owner type: "NetBSD-CORE", as core(5) files are not tagged
in the same way as regular NetBSD executables.
Stop using incorrectly ABI_TAG and ABI_SIZE. Introduce IDENT_TAG,
IDENT_DECSZ, IDENT_NAMESZ and PROCINFO.
The new values detect correctly the NetBSD images.
The patch has been originally written by Kamil Rytarowski. I've added
tests and applied minor code changes per review. The work has been
sponsored by the NetBSD Foundation.

The `ap` suffix is a remnant of lldb's former use of auto pointers,
before they got deprecated. Although all their uses were replaced by
unique pointers, some variables still carried the suffix.
In r353795 I removed another auto_ptr remnant, namely redundant calls to
::get for unique_pointers. Jim justly noted that this is a good
opportunity to clean up the variable names as well.
I went over all the changes to ensure my find-and-replace didn't have
any undesired side-effects. I hope I didn't miss any, but if you end up
at this commit doing a git blame on a weirdly named variable, please
know that the change was unintentional.

instead of returning the UUID through by-ref argument and a boolean
value indicating success, we can just return it directly. Since the UUID
class already has an invalid state, it can be used to denote the failure

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

The code was assuming that the elf file will have a PT_LOAD segment
starting from the first byte of the file. While this is true for files
generated by most linkers (it's a way of saving space), it is not a
requirement. And files not satisfying this constraint can still be
perfectly executable. yaml2obj is one of the tools which produces files
like this.
This patch relaxes the check in ObjectFileELF to take the address of the
first PT_LOAD segment as the base address of the object (instead of the
one with the offset 0). Since the PT_LOAD segments are supposed to be
sorted according to the VM address, this entry will also be the one with
the lowest VM address.
If we ever run into files which don't have the PT_LOAD segments sorted,
we can easily change this code to return the lowest VM address as the
base address (if that is the correct thing to do for these files).
llvm-svn: 350923
Summary:
The concept of a base address was already present in the implementation
(it's needed for computing section load addresses properly), but it was
never exposed through this function. This fixes that.
llvm-svn: 350804
Summary:
This is the result of the discussion in D55356, where it was suggested
as a solution to representing the addresses that logically belong to a
module in memory, but are not a part of any of its sections.
The ELF PT_LOAD segments are similar to the MachO "load commands",
except that the relationship between them and the object file sections
is a bit weaker. While in the MachO case, the sections belonging to a
specific segment are placed directly inside it in the object file
logical structur, in the ELF case, the sections and segments form two
separate hierarchies. This means that it is in theory possible to create
an elf file where only a part of a section would belong to some segment
(and another part to a different one). However, I am not aware of any
tool which would produce such a file (and most tools will have problems
ingesting them), so this means it is still possible to follow the MachO
model and make sections children of the PT_LOAD segments.
In case we run into (corrupt?) files with overlapping sections, I have
added code (and tests) which adjusts the sizes and/or drops the offending
sections in order to present a reasonable image to the upper layers of
LLDB. This is mostly done for completeness, as I don't anticipate
running into this situation in the real world. However, if we do run
into it, and the current behavior is not suitable for some reason, we
can implement this logic differently.

Summary:
The first section header does not define a real section. Instead it is
used for various elf extensions. This patch skips creation of a section
for index 0.
This has one furtunate side-effect, in that it allows us to use the section
header index as the Section ID (where 0 is also invalid). This way, we
can get rid of a lot of spurious +1s in the ObjectFileELF code.

llvm-svn: 349498
Summary:
This patch attempts to move as much code as possible out of the
CreateSections function to make room for future improvements there. Some
of this may be slightly over-engineered (VMAddressProvider), but I
wanted to keep the logic of this function very simple, because once I
start taking segment headers into acount (as discussed in D55356), the
function is going to grow significantly.
While in there, I also added tests for various bits of functionality.
This should be NFC, except that I changed the order of hac^H^Heuristicks
for determining section type slightly. Previously, name-based deduction
(.symtab -> symtab) would take precedence over type-based (SHT_SYMTAB ->
symtab) one. In fact we would assert if we ran into a .text section with
type SHT_SYMTAB. Though unlikely to matter in practice, this order
seemed wrong to me, so I have inverted it.

Move code into a separate function, and replace the if-else chain with
llvm::StringSwitch.
A slight behavioral change is that now I use the section flags
(SHF_TLS) instead of the section name to set the thread-specific
property. There is no explanation in the original commit introducing
this (r153537) as to why that was done this way, but the new behavior
should be more correct.

Instead of GetProgramHeaderCount+GetProgramHeaderByIndex, expose an
ArrayRef of all program headers, to enable range-based iteration.
Instead of GetSegmentDataByIndex, expose GetSegmentData, taking a
program header (reference).
This makes the code simpler by enabling range-based loops and also
allowed to remove some null checks, as it became locally obvious that
some pointers can never be null.

Original commit message:
[LLDB] - Support the single file split DWARF.
DWARF5 spec describes a single file split dwarf case
(when .dwo sections are in the .o files).
Problem is that LLDB does not work correctly in that case.
The issue is that, for example, both .debug_info and .debug_info.dwo
has the same type: eSectionTypeDWARFDebugInfo. And when code searches
section by type it might find the regular debug section
and not the .dwo one.
The patch fixes that. With it, LLDB is able to work with
output compiled with -gsplit-dwarf=single flag correctly.
