[lldb] Handle SIGINT via the MainLoop signal thread (on POSIX) (#195959)

The driver's async SIGINT handler called
SBDebugger::DispatchInputInterrupt directly. That is not
async-signal-safe and can lead to a crash.

Register SIGINT with the existing signal-thread MainLoop instead so
DispatchInputInterrupt runs in normal thread context. The Windows path
is unchanged and keeps the legacy async handler.

While DispatchInputInterrupt runs, the callback temporarily installs
SIG_DFL so a second Ctrl-C still hard-terminates the process, preserving
the escape hatch users rely on when the debugger is unresponsive.

Moving SIGINT off the main thread means a Ctrl-C no longer interrupts
blocking syscalls there (e.g. a Python REPL waiting on input or
sleeping), so Python never observes the queued interrupt and
KeyboardInterrupt is not raised. To restore that behavior, after
dispatching the interrupt the callback re-raises SIGINT on the main
thread via pthread_kill; the resulting EINTR lets Python pick up the
pending interrupt. A skip flag suppresses the re-entry that this
self-send produces. Because the callback only ever runs on the signal
thread, the flag and the captured main-thread id live in the lambda's
captures and need no synchronization.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch

Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
