Don't use CopyContext in RegisterContextWin

[amccarth]

Summary

Bug 22410

Eliminate CopyContext and related functions to allow for debugging on Vista.

CopyContext is necessary to safely get the XState, but LLDB doesn't currently
use the XState. CopyContext is available as of Windows 7 SP1, so it can't be
used on Vista.

I left the structure of the code to continue to ensure that we're handling
the CONTEXT alignment and so that we can switch back to CopyContext in the
future.

I went to lldb/Host/windows.h to lower NTDDI_VERSION, which specifies the minimum
version of the SDK we use, and found it was already set to NTDDI_VISTA. This
was surprising since the CopyContext function was defined even though it's
inside a #if (NTDDI_VERSION >= NTDDI_WIN7SP1) block in <WinBase.h>. It turns out
that the SDK doesn't define NTDDI_WIN7SP1, so the statement boiled down to

While I was in lldb/Host/windows.h, I eliminated two redundant #undefs.

What's this part for?

Is alignment to 16 necessary? I think that's only if you use CopyContext() and InitializeContext(). If you're not using any of the AVX stuff, I don't think it has special alignment requirements. We might be able to get rid of this whole function, and all the cruft associated with the heap buffer, and just store the CONTEXT directly in the class. Note that CONTEXT in WinNT.h is declared with DECLSPEC_ALIGN(8), so I think everything is already taken care of.

checkout llvm/Support/MathExtras.h. There are functions to do this kind of math for you. (This only applies though if it's not already aligned correctly. If it is all this code goes away)

Addressed review comments.

Removed duplicate lines (see lines 19-20). I was in here to roll NTDDI_VERSION back to Vista, but it was already Vista. The notes explain how this "worked".

One definition of CONTEXT in winnt.h is tagged with __declspec(align(16)), so I assumed it was. Another is tagged 8, and one is untagged. The heap allocation seemed to be returning blocks aligned only to 4-byte boundaries (not even 8!?).

Do you know how to tell definitively which CONTEXT applies?

Cool. I've switched to llvm::alignAddr.

But I'll remove this altogether if the alignment isn't needed.

[amccarth]

More aggressive simplification of CONTEXT handling on Windows.

[zturner]

Looks very nice. I will commit later this afternoon. No issues popped up while running the test suite I assume? Same number of failures before and after the patch?

I would try setting a breakpoint by line number, then doing a "source list" and a "frame info" (I think that's the command anyway to see the stack frame), and a "disasm" and make sure all the values look sane. Of course normally the test suite would catch all this, but since it still fails for many tests I usually like to do this sanity check first when messign with the register stuff (in addition to running the tests obviously)

[amccarth]

Don't commit yet.

ninja check-lldb was giving me good results last night, but now it never
finishes. Looks like I get about 15 python_d.exe processes and 3 a.out
processes that hang. All bug one Python process are consuming no CPU, so
it looks like those are deadlocked. I'm investigating.

[zturner]

Hmm. Could you try memsetting the CONTEXT to 0 before calling GetThreadContext()? We already do it in WriteAllRegisterValues before calling *SetThreadContext*, but we don't do it before calling GetThreadContext(). In the previous code, we were allocating a new DataBufferHeap, which I think will 0-initialize it.

[amccarth]

Restored initialization of the ContextFlags in the context.

[zturner]

Did that fix the deadlocks?

[amccarth]

Yes. I'm getting the same number of successful tests as before. The
interactive tests worked as well, except for source list, which shows
nothing.

[zturner]

Did the source list work before?
