[JITLoaderGDB] Read jit entry struct manually.

Summary

Though r264012 was fancy enough to make reading the jit entry struct
work with templates, the packing and alignment attributes do not work on
Windows. So, this change makes it plain and simple with manual reading
of the jit entry struct.

One thing to note: don't use Process::DoReadMemory(), it doesn't cache data and it will always result in a read memory packet going to GDB server if you are using lldb-server and you don't want that. Use Process::ReadMemory(), it will read stuff 512 bytes at a time and caching will work.

The main issue with this patch is your stuff won't work if you debug a program with different endianess that the host system. You need to read all the memory you need in a single memory read and then use a DataExtractor to extract stuff. DataExtractor gets constructed with a variety of data and also takes a byte order and an address byte size. The byte order will allow the extractor to byte swap the data correctly and the address byte size will allow you to extract an pointer using DataExtractor::GetPointer(...). The code for extractor should be much simpler than what you wrote above. Something like:

const size_t addr_size = process->GetAddressByteSize();
const size_t data_byte_size = addr_size * 3 + sizeof(uint64_t);
DataBufferHeap data(data_byte_size, 0);
size_t bytes_read = process->ReadMemory(from_addr, data.GetBytes(), data.GetByteSize(), error);
if (bytes_read == data_byte_size)
{
    DataExtractor extractor (data.GetBytes(), data.GetByteSize(), process->GetByteOrder(), addr_size);
    lldb::offset_t offset = 0;
    entry->next_entry = extractor.GetPointer(&offset);
    entry->prev_entry = extractor.GetPointer(&offset);
    entry->symfile_addr = extractor.GetPointer(&offset);
    entry->symfile_size = extractor.GetU64(&offset);
}
from_addr += offset;

Let me know if you have any questions.

There are many issues here: no byte swapping, multiple memory reads with no caching. See code in main comment for the simpler code to use.

Modify according to suggestions.

How does this look?

Unless this align is special and different from other align functions, we should use llvm::alignTo(...).

Why is "from_addr" passed by reference? No one is updating this address and it is const. This should be "const addr_t from_addr" or it should be non const and "from_addr" should be updated in the call to ReadJITEntry().

125–126

Is this truly for i386 only? Not for all 32 bit architectures?

131

Do you really want to adjust this here? Shouldn't this actually be:

if (from_addr % sizeof(ptr_t))
    return false;

Removed.

122

Made it a value. Making it a reference was a slip.

125–126

Per my reading of the arm32, mip32 and x86 (i386) ABI specs, only x86 aligns 8 byte values at 4-byte boundaries. Others align 8 byte values are 8-byte boundaries.

For my testing, I have arm32 and i386 Android devices at hand which validate the changes.

You can correct me if you think I got it wrong or if I have to consider more archs.

131

Replaced this with an assert.
