[platform process list] add a flag for showing the processes of all users

Summary

For context: https://reviews.llvm.org/D68293

We need a way to show all the processes on android regardless of the user id.
When you run platform process list, you only see the processes with the same user as the user that launched lldb-server. However, it's quite useful to see all the processes, though, and it will lay a foundation for full apk debugging support from lldb.

Before:

PID    PARENT USER       TRIPLE                   NAME
====== ====== ========== ======================== ============================
3234   1                 aarch64-unknown-linux-android adbd
8034   3234              aarch64-unknown-linux-android sh
9096   3234              aarch64-unknown-linux-android sh
9098   9096              aarch64-unknown-linux-android lldb-server
(lldb) ^D

Now:

(lldb) platform process list -x
205 matching processes were found on "remote-android"
PID    PARENT USER       TRIPLE                   NAME
====== ====== ========== ======================== ============================

Btw, I couldn't find a better short command than 'x', but if you have a better suggestion, i'd be happy to accept it :)

labath added a comment.Oct 3 2019, 4:38 AM

I think the fact that all of our options *must* have a short version is a pretty serious deficiency in our option parsing system. It results in a lot of unintuitive options that nobody uses because they can't guess what they stand for. But anyway, -x seems as good as any, as all the good alternatives are already taken.

For testing this, I think the best option would be something similar to the gdb-client suite (test/testcases/functionalities/gdb_remote_client), which allows you to mock the remote end of a connection. It is currently geared toward talking to the gdb server (and not the platform), but as the underlying protocol is the same, I am hoping that it can be repurposed to this use case fairly easily. I am imagining a flow where you create a mock server, configure it to respond appropriately to any packet that lldb issues, and then run e.g. "platform select remote-linux", "platform connect connect://localhost:%d", "platform proces list --all-users".

Setting that up is a bit overkill for a simple patch as this one, but as it looks like you're going to be doing a lot of work in this area in the near future, I think it makes sense to set up some testing infrastructure early.

added a basic python test

It was a nice learning experience and fortunately there was no need to add any intrusive code

LG, thanks for the test.

lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/functionalities/gdb_remote_client/TestPlatformClient.py
31

Maybe also check that some of the values from the mock response made it through? (e.g., pid, process name)

I'm adding that in the other diffs, but i'll make stricter checks anyway

@wallace it looks like TestPlatformClient.py is failing on osx see green dragon log here: http://lab.llvm.org:8080/green/view/LLDB/job/lldb-cmake/2317/testReport/junit/lldb-Suite/functionalities_gdb_remote_client/TestPlatformClient_py/

damn, i'll rebase and try to fix it

The windows LLDB bot also has the same failure: http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/lldb-x64-windows-ninja/builds/9600

Please make sure your fix works for both.

I reverted this change b/c the green dragon bots have been red for too long.

When you fix the problem please make sure you add

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D68354

to your commit message.

now it should work, the test pass

wallace updated this revision to Diff 224716.Oct 11 2019, 5:41 PM

another try

wallace updated this revision to Diff 224717.Oct 11 2019, 6:30 PM

adding some logging for exceptions in the mock server

wallace updated this revision to Diff 224721.Oct 11 2019, 7:05 PM

after the logging finally found the bug, it's was an encoding issue due to a different python version

wallace updated this revision to Diff 224722.Oct 11 2019, 7:33 PM

i think i finally wrote something that works python 2 and 3
