A significant amount of time is spent generating the string
representation for the proc.Registers object of each thread, since this
field is rarely used (only when the Registers API is called) it should
be generated on demand.
Also by changing the internal representation of proc.Register to be
closer to that of op.DwarfRegister it will help us implement #1838
(when Delve will need to be able to display the registers of an
internal frame, which we currently represent using op.DwarfRegister
objects).
Benchmark before:
BenchmarkConditionalBreakpoints-4 1 22292554301 ns/op
Benchmark after:
BenchmarkConditionalBreakpoints-4 1 17326345671 ns/op
Reduces conditional breakpoint latency from 2.2ms to 1.7ms.
Updates #1549, #1838
* delve now can be built to arm64-arch and running on linux-arm64 OS.
* arm64 general-purpose registers have completed.
* arm64 disasm has completed.

The linux version of proc/native and proc/core contained largely
overlapping implementations of the register handling code, deduplicate
it by moving it into proc/linutil.
Fncall.go was written with the assumption that the object returned by
proc.Thread.Registers does not change after we call
proc.Thread.SetPC/etc.
This is true for the native backend but not for gdbserial. I had
anticipated this problem and introduced the Save/SavedRegisters
mechanism during the first implementation of fncall.go but that's
insufficient.
Instead:
1. clarify that the object returned by proc.Thread.Registers could
change when the CPU registers are modified.
2. add a Copy method to Registers that returns a copy of the registers
that are guaranteed not to change when the CPU registers change.
3. remove the Save/SavedRegisters mechanism.
This solution leaves us the option, in the future, to cache the output
of proc.(Thread).Registers, avoiding a system call every time it's
called.
Implements the function call injection protocol introduced in go 1.11
by https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/109699.
This is only the basic support, see TODO comments in pkg/proc/fncall.go
for a list of missing features.
Updates #119
Instead of only tracking a few cherrypicked registers in stack.go track
all DWARF registers.
This is needed for cgo code and for the locationlists emitted by go in
1.10:
* The debug_frame sections emitted by C compilers can not be used
without tracking all registers
* the loclists emitted by go1.10 need all registers of a frame to be
interpreted.
- moved target.Interface into proc as proc.Process
- rename proc.IThread to proc.Thread
- replaced interfaces DisassembleInfo, Continuable and
EvalScopeConvertible with Process.
- removed superfluous Gdbserver prefix from types in the gdbserial
backend.
- removed superfluous Core prefix from types in the core backend.
On Windows we can sometimes encounter threads stopped in locations for
which we do not have entries in debug_frame.
These cases seem to be due to calls to Windows API in the go runtime,
we can still produce a (partial) stack trace in this circumstance by
following frame pointers (starting with BP).
We still prefer debug_frame entries when available since go functions
do not have frame pointers before go1.8.
