Changes implementations of proc.Registers interface and the
op.DwarfRegisters struct so that floating point registers can be loaded
only when they are needed.
Removes the floatingPoint parameter from proc.Thread.Registers.
This accomplishes three things:
1. it simplifies the proc.Thread.Registers interface
2. it makes it impossible to accidentally create a broken set of saved
registers or of op.DwarfRegisters by accidentally calling
Registers(false)
3. it improves general performance of Delve by avoiding to load
floating point registers as much as possible
Floating point registers are loaded under two circumstances:
1. When the Slice method is called with floatingPoint == true
2. When the Copy method is called

Updates #1549
Unexport `GetDebugServerAbsolutePath` and avoid unnecessary repeated calls.
Remove `os.Stat` because `Exec.LookPath` has already used `os.Stat`.And Fix
some comments.
On linux platform, we simply treated `/proc/$pid/exe` as the
executable of targeting process when doing `dlv attach`. The
`/proc/$pid/exe` is a symbol link of the real executable file.
Delve couldn't find the corrsponding external debug file based on the
symbol link:
```
could not attach to pid $pid: could not open debug info
```
The fix is to evaluate the symbol links to the actual executable path.
The process could quit while we are inside stop, we should report the
error otherwise the following code will try to send on the closed
ptrace channel.
Fixes a sporadic error in TestIssue1101.
This flag allows users on UNIX systems to set the tty for the program
being debugged by Delve. This is useful for debugging command line
applications which need access to their own TTY, and also for
controlling the output of the debugged programs so that IDEs may open a
dedicated terminal to show the output for the process.
* gdbserial/gdbserver: Dynamically resolve debugserver binary
Instead of hardcoding the absolute path to the Command Line
Tools (CLT) binary, will attempt to resolve the path at the
$PATH, or at the Xcode bundle. If none are available, will
fallback to the default CLT location.
Fixes#986
* gdbserial/gdbserver: Log outgoing executed commands
Add logging to capture the executable and associated arguments used
in LLDBLaunch and LLDBAttach
Related to #986
* gdbserial/gdbserver: Add unit tests for helper function
Define unit tests for helper function. Setup each test to temporarily make
PATH variable, and file system changes, and subsequently revert them.

* gdbserial/gdbserver: Lazily load function
Lazily obtain absolute path to avoid increasing load times.
Remove flaky tests.
Related to #986
The test was always flaky because we can't fully control the state of
all goroutines in the target program, Go 1.14's asynchronous preemption
exacerbates the problem.
See for example:
https://travis-ci.com/github/go-delve/delve/jobs/302407282
This commit relaxes the checks made by the test to avoid irrelevante
flakiness.
Under some circumstances (methods with non-pointer receivers or from
embedded fields called through an interface) the compiler will
autogenerate wrapper functions.
This commit changes next, step and stepout to skip all autogenerated
wrappers.
Fixes#1908
Allows Delve clients to stop a recording midway by sending a
Command('halt')
request.
This is implemented by changing debugger.New to start recording the
process on a separate goroutine while holding the processMutex locked.
By locking the processMutex we ensure that almost all RPC requests will
block until the recording is done, since we can not respond correctly
to any of them.
API calls that do not require manipulating or examining the target
process, such as "IsMulticlient", "SetApiVersion" and
"GetState(nowait=true)" will work while we are recording the process.
Two other internal changes are made to the API: both GetState and
Restart become asynchronous requests, like Command. Restart because
this way it can be interrupted by a StopRecording request if the
rerecord option is passed.
GetState because clients need a call that will block until the
recording is compelted and can also be interrupted with a
StopRecording.
Clients that are uninterested in allowing the user to stop a recording
can ignore this change, since eventually they will make a request to
Delve that will block until the recording is completed.
Clients that wish to support this feature must:
1. call GetState(nowait=false) after connecting to Delve, before any
call that would need to manipulate the target process
2. allow the user to send a StopRecording request during the initial
GetState call
3. allow the user to send a StopRecording request during any subsequent
Restart(rerecord=true) request (if supported).
Implements #1747
Reset the timer once we start executing the code paths we actually care
to measure, since the setup and continue steps can be relatively
expensive.
Also, disable recording on benchmarks. This seems less useful, and also
cuts out a lot of noise when benchmarks are run.
When switching to the goroutine stack the stack iterator registers
might not have any entry for the BP register, make sure to add it
instead of just trying to change it.
Instead of rescanning debug_info every time we want to read a function
(either to find inlined calls or its variables) cache the tree of
dwarf.Entry that we would generate and use that.

Add logging for Issue #1927. The bug happens during the call to
api.ConvertThread, returning an error will not suffice since
ConvertThread will not surface it.
Updates #1927
Inserts a call to ClearAllGCache into stepInstructionOut so that cached
goroutine state is not inconsistent after an injected function call.\
Fixes#1925
If we call one expression which is the fake method of meanless
string, `delve` will panic. Strengthen the inspection of boundary
conditions when supporting function calls on non-struct types.
Update: #1871
* *: Fix go vet struct complaints
* *: Fix struct vet issue on linux
* *: Ignore proc/native in go vet check
We have to do some unsafe pointer manipulation that will never make go
vet happy within the proc/native package. Ignore it for runs of go vet.
* proc: move defer breakpoint code into a function
Moves the code that sets a breakpoint on the first deferred function,
used by both next and StepOut, to its function.
* proc: implement reverse step/next/stepout
When the direction of execution is reversed (on a recording) Step, Next and
StepOut will behave similarly to their forward version. However there are
some subtle interactions between their behavior, prologue skipping, deferred
calls and normal calls. Specifically:
- when stepping backwards we need to set a breakpoint on the first
instruction after each CALL instruction, once this breakpoint is reached we
need to execute a single StepInstruction operation to reverse step into the
CALL.
- to insure that the prologue is skipped reverse next needs to check if it
is on the first instruction after the prologue, and if it is behave like
reverse stepout.
- there is no reason to set breakpoints on deferred calls when reverse
nexting or reverse stepping out, they will never be hit.
- reverse step out should generally place its breakpoint on the CALL
instruction that created the current stack frame (which will be the CALL
instruction immediately preceding the instruction at the return address).
- reverse step out needs to treat panic calls and deferreturn calls
specially.
* service,terminal: implement reverse step, next, stepout
* proc,proc/*: move SelectedGoroutine to proc.Target, remove PostInitializationSetup
moves SelectedGoroutine, SwitchThread and SwitchGoroutine to
proc.Target, merges PostInitializationSetup with NewTarget.
* proc,proc/*: add StopReason field to Target
Adds a StopReason field to the Target object describing why the target
process is currently stopped. This will be useful for the DAP server
(which needs to report this reason in one of its requests) as well as
making pull request #1785 (reverse step) conformant to the new
architecture.
* proc: collect NewTarget arguments into a struct
Implement debugging function for 386 on linux with reference to AMD64.
There are a few remaining problems that need to be solved in another time.
1. The stacktrace of cgo are not exactly as expected.
2. Not implement `core` for now.
3. Not implement `call` for now. Can't not find `runtime·debugCallV1` or
similar function in $GOROOT/src/runtime/asm_386.s.
Update #20
* proc/native/linux: only set breakpoints on threads that receive SIGTRAP
* proc/native/linux: do not call (*Thread).Stopped inside (*Process).stop
(*Thread).Stopped is slow because it needs to open, read and parse a
file in /proc, we don't actually need to do that, we can just rely on
the value of Thread.os.running.

Updates #1549
This change adds `ProcessVmRead` and `ProcessVmWrite` wrappers around
the syscalls `process_vm_readv` and `process_vm_writev`, available since
Linux 3.2. These follow the same permission model as `ptrace`, but they
don't actually require being attached, which means they can be called
directly from any thread in the debugger. They also use `iovec` to write
entire blocks at once, rather than having to peek/poke each `uintptr`.
These wrappers are used in `Thread.ReadMemory` and `WriteMemory`, still
falling back to `ptrace` if that fails for any reason. Notably,
`process_vm_writev` respects memory protection, so it can't modify
read-only memory like `ptrace`. This frequently occurs when writing
breakpoints in read-only `.text`, so to avoid a lot of wasted `EFAULT`
calls, we only try `process_vm_writev` for larger writes.
Adds an optional scope prefix to the `regs` command which allows
printing registers for any stack frame (as long as they were somehow
saved). Issue #1838 is not yet to be closed since we are still not
recovering the registers of a segfaulting frame.
Updates #1838
As we rearrange the code and the Go compiler changes the error message
returned by the compiler on unsupported architectures will change too,
making it un-googlable. Since the error message tends to be rather
obscure too this regularly confuses newbies.
This is an effort to make the error message for unsupported GOOS/GOARCH
combinations the same across all unsupported combinations and to make
it more user friendly.
Directories containing Go source code are supposed to contain a single
package. This property happens to be checked by cmd/go itself so it
will happen even before the syntax is fully checked and therefore has a
high probability of being the first (and only) error message being
print.
Here we take advantage of this by adding to the pkg/proc/native
directory a file with a bad package line that only gets compiled in on
unsupported GOOS/GOARCH combinations.
At present the error message for compiling Delve on unsupported systems
will be:
service/debugger/debugger.go:21:2: found packages native (proc.go) and your_operating_system_and_architecture_combination_is_not_supported_by_delve (support_sentinel.go) in $PATH_TO_DELVE/pkg/proc/native
