Summary:
The first Sandybridge iMacs with AVX support shipped in Spring 2011 with Snow Leopard as their OS. Unfortunately due to a kernel bug debugging AVX code was not really possible until 10.7.4.
The old code here checked the kernel build number to determine when to support AVX, but that code was incorrect. It verified that the kernel build number was greater than xnu-2020, which is the build of the kernel that had the fix for 10.8. The fix was also back ported to 10.7.4. Which means all publicly available OS builds 10.7.4 and later have working AVX support.
This new patch verifies that the host OS is greater than or equal to 10.7.4 by checking that the build number is greater than or equal to 11Exx.
The patch also removes the HasAVX assembly blob in favor of querying the kernel via sysctl for the hardware features.
Using sysctl is slower, however since the code is executed once and the result cached it is a better approach because it is possible for the kernel to disable AVX support on hardware that supports it, so listening to the kernel is a better approach for the debugger to take.

for the fall (northern hemisphere) 2016 Darwin platforms to learn
about loaded images, instead of reading dyld internal data structures.
These new SPI don't exist on older releases, and new packets are
needed from debugserver to use them (those changes are already committed).
I had to change the minimum deployment target for debugserver in the xcode
project file to macOS 10.10 so that debugserver will use the
[[NSProcessInfo processInfo] operatingSystemVersion]
call in MachProcess::GetOSVersionNumbers to get the operarting system
version # -- this API is only available in macOS 10.10 and newer
("OS X Yosemite", released Oct 2014). If we have many people building
llvm.org lldb on older systems still, we can back off on this for the
llvm.org sources.
There should be no change in behavior with this commit, either to
older darwin systems or newer darwin systems.
For now the new DynamicLoader plugin is never activated - I'm forcing
the old plugin to be used in DynamicLoaderDarwin::UseDYLDSPI.
I'll remove that unconditional use of the old plugin soon, so the
newer plugin is used on the newest Darwin platforms.

which doesn't like against all the extra UI frameworks on ios)
so it now generates a binary called "debugserver-nonui" and puts
it in /usr/local/bin instead of /Developer/usr/bin.
Add some cruft to RNBDefs.h to get the version number (provided
by Xcode at build time) with either the name "debugserver" or
"debugserver_nonui" as appropriate.
Add the "debugserver-mini" target to the top level "ios" target
in lldb xcode project file, so this nonui debugserver will be
built along with the normal lldb / debugserver.

previous release. Most of the diffs are duplication in the xcode
project file caused by adding a "debugserver-mini" target. Jim
Ingham added support for a new SPI needed to request app launches
on iOS. Greg Clayton added code to indicate the platform of the
binary (macosx, ios, watchos, tvos) based on Mach-O load commands.
Jason Molenda added code so debugserver will identify when it is
running on a tvos/watchos device to lldb.

This was no longer needed and hasn't been needed since r143244

A few extras were fixed
- Symbol::GetAddress() now returns an Address object, not a reference. There were places where people were accessing the address of a symbol when the symbol's value wasn't an address symbol. On MacOSX, undefined symbols have a value zero and some places where using the symbol's address and getting an absolute address of zero (since an Address object with no section and an m_offset whose value isn't LLDB_INVALID_ADDRESS is considered an absolute address). So fixing this required some changes to make sure people were getting what they expected.
- Since some places want to access the address as a reference, I added a few new functions to symbol:
Address &Symbol::GetAddressRef();
const Address &Symbol::GetAddressRef() const;
Linux test suite passes just fine now.

We have been working on reducing the packet count that is sent between LLDB and the debugserver on MacOSX and iOS. Our approach to this was to reduce the packets required when debugging multiple threads. We currently make one qThreadStopInfoXXXX call (where XXXX is the thread ID in hex) per thread except the thread that stopped with a stop reply packet. In order to implement multiple thread infos in a single reply, we need to use structured data, which means JSON. The new jThreadsInfo packet will attempt to retrieve all thread infos in a single packet. The data is very similar to the stop reply packets, but packaged in JSON and uses JSON arrays where applicable. The JSON output looks like:
[
{ "tid":1580681,
"metype":6,
"medata":[2,0],
"reason":"exception",
"qaddr":140735118423168,

It contains an array of dicitionaries with all of the key value pairs that are normally in the stop reply packet. Including the expedited registers. Notice that is also contains expedited memory in the "memory" key. Any values in this memory will get included in a new L1 cache in lldb_private::Process where if a memory read request is made and that memory request fits into one of the L1 memory cache blocks, it will use that memory data. If a memory request fails in the L1 cache, it will fall back to the L2 cache which is the same block sized caching we were using before these changes. This allows a process to expedite memory that you are likely to use and it reduces packet count. On MacOSX with debugserver, we expedite the frame pointer backchain for a thread (up to 256 entries) by reading 2 pointers worth of bytes at the frame pointer (for the previous FP and PC), and follow the backchain. Most backtraces on MacOSX and iOS now don't require us to read any memory!
We will try these packets out and if successful, we should port these to lldb-server in the near future.

For some communication channels, sending large packets can be very
slow. In those cases, it may be faster to compress the contents of
the packet on the target device and decompress it on the debug host
system. For instance, communicating with a device using something
like Bluetooth may be an environment where this tradeoff is a good one.
This patch adds a new field to the response to the "qSupported" packet
(which returns a "qXfer:features:" response) -- SupportedCompressions
and DefaultCompressionMinSize. These tell you what the remote
stub can support.
lldb, if it wants to enable compression and can handle one of those
algorithms, it can send a QEnableCompression packet specifying the
algorithm and optionally the minimum packet size to use compression
on. lldb may have better knowledge about the best tradeoff for
a given communication channel.
I added support to debugserver an lldb to use the zlib APIs
(if -DHAVE_LIBZ=1 is in CFLAGS and -lz is in LDFLAGS) and the
libcompression APIs on Mac OS X 10.11 and later
(if -DHAVE_LIBCOMPRESSION=1). libz "zlib-deflate" compression.
libcompression can support deflate, lz4, lzma, and a proprietary
lzfse algorithm. libcompression has been hand-tuned for Apple
hardware so it should be preferred if available.
debugserver currently only adds the SupportedCompressions when
it is being run on an Apple watch (TARGET_OS_WATCH). Comment
that #if out from RNBRemote.cpp if you want to enable it to
see how it works. I haven't tested this on a native system
configuration but surely it will be slower to compress & decompress
the packets in a same-system debug session.
I haven't had a chance to add support for this to
GDBRemoteCommunciationServer.cpp yet.
