[lldb][Linux] Add overlay and effective permissions to "memory region" (llvm#184115)
In this change I'm extending the "memory region" command to show users
the
overlay permissions that a protection key refers to, and the result of
applying that overlay to the page table permissions.
For example, protection key 0 refers to Perm0 in the por register.
```
(lldb) register read por
Perm0 = Read, Write, Execute
```
This is the default key, so many regions use it.
```
(lldb) memory region --all
<...>
[0x000ffffff7db0000-0x000ffffff7f40000) r-x /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 PT_LOAD[0]
protection key: 0 (rwx, effective: r-x)
```
Protection keys can only change what was already enabled in the
page table. So we start with read and execute. Then a read/write/execute
overlay
is applied. We cannot add write, so the result is read and execute.
Here's an example of its use with a real crash (output edited):
```
(lldb) c
* thread #1, name = 'test.o', stop reason = signal SIGSEGV: failed protection key checks (fault address=0xffffff7d60000)
-> 106 read_only_page[0] = '?';
(lldb) memory region 0xffffff7d60000
[0x000ffffff7d60000-0x000ffffff7d70000) rw-
protection key: 6 (r--, effective: r--)
(lldb) register read por
Perm6 = Read
```
The calculation of permissions is implemented by a new ABI method.
It's in ABI for 2 reasons:
* These overlays are usually in a register (X86 and AArch64 are)
and that register name is architecture specific.
* The way the overlay values apply may differ between architecture.
AArch64 treats a set bit as adding a permission, but some may
treat it as removing.
Technically this is dependent on operating system and architecture.
However, so are the methods for removing non-address bits, and those
are in ABI too.
To test this I have changed the allocations in the test program
to use read+execute permissions by default. With read+write+execute
I could not observe that the overlay only changes enabled permissions.
