This patch aims to improve how Delve tracks the current goroutine,
especially in very highly parallel programs. The main spirit of this
patch is to ensure that even in situations where the goroutine we care
about is not executing (common for len(g) > len(m)) we still end up back
on that goroutine as a result of executing the 'next' command.
We accomplish this by tracking our original goroutine id, and any time a
breakpoint is hit or a threads stops, we examine the stopped threads and
see if any are executing the goroutine we care about. If not, we set
'next' breakpoint for them again and continue them. This is done so that
one of those threads can eventually pick up the goroutine we care about
and begin executing it again.
Breakpoints, tracepoints, etc.. take a location spec as input. This
patch improves the expressiveness of that API. It allows:
* Breakpoint at line
* Breakpoint at function (handling package / receiver smoothing)
* Breakpoint at address
* Breakpoint at file:line
* Setting breakpoint based off regexp
the entry point of a function is the beginning of the prologue, which can be run multiple times for each invocation of a function if the stack needs to be expanded or the scheduler needs to be run.
Instead of fighting against the normal flow, just signal a SIGTRAP and
let the existing flow handle it, as long as we set the halt flag
correctly the system should halt.
Previously either the terminal client or the debugger service would
either lock main goroutine to a thread or provide a locked goroutine to
run _all_ DebuggedProcess functions in. This is unnecessary because only
ptrace functions need to be run from the same thread that originated the
PT_ATTACH request.
Here we use a specific thread-locked goroutine to service any ptrace
request. That goroutine is also responsible for the initial spawning /
attaching of the process, since it must be responsible for the PT_ATTACH
request.
