Improve LLDB's handling of non-local minidumps
Normally, LLDB is creating a high-fidelity representation of a live
process, including a list of modules and sections, with the
associated memory address ranges. In order to build the module and
section map LLDB tries to locate the local module image (object file)
and will parse it.
This does not work for postmortem debugging scenarios where the crash
dump (minidump in this case) was captured on a different machine.
Fortunately the minidump format encodes enough information about
each module's memory range to allow us to create placeholder modules.
This enables most LLDB functionality involving address-to-module
translations.
Also, we may want to completly disable the search for matching
local object files if we load minidumps unless we can prove that the
local image matches the one from the crash origin.
(not part of this change, see: llvm.org/pr35193)
Example: Identify the module from a stack frame PC:
Before:
thread #1, stop reason = Exception 0xc0000005 encountered at address 0x164d14
frame #0: 0x00164d14
frame #1: 0x00167c79
frame #2: 0x00167e6d
frame #3: 0x7510336a
frame #4: 0x77759882
frame #5: 0x77759855
After:
thread #1, stop reason = Exception 0xc0000005 encountered at address 0x164d14
frame #0: 0x00164d14 C:\Users\amccarth\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\fizzbuzz\Debug\fizzbuzz.exe
frame #1: 0x00167c79 C:\Users\amccarth\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\fizzbuzz\Debug\fizzbuzz.exe
frame #2: 0x00167e6d C:\Users\amccarth\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\fizzbuzz\Debug\fizzbuzz.exe
frame #3: 0x7510336a C:\Windows\SysWOW64\kernel32.dll
frame #4: 0x77759882 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll
frame #5: 0x77759855 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll
Example: target modules list
Before:
error: the target has no associated executable images
After:
[ 0] C:\Windows\System32\MSVCP120D.dll
[ 1] C:\Windows\SysWOW64\kernel32.dll
[ 2] C:\Users\amccarth\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\fizzbuzz\Debug\fizzbuzz.exe
[ 3] C:\Windows\System32\MSVCR120D.dll
[ 4] C:\Windows\SysWOW64\KERNELBASE.dll
[ 5] C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll
NOTE: the minidump format also includes the debug info GUID, so we can
fill-in the module UUID from it, but this part was excluded from this change
to keep the changes simple (the LLDB UUID is hardcoded to be either 16 or
20 bytes, while the CodeView GUIDs are normally 24 bytes)
