[lldb/Host] Enable inheriting "non-inheritable" FDs (#126935)
Currently we're creating inheritable (`~FD_CLOEXEC`) file descriptors in
the (few) cases where we need to pass an FD to a subprocess. The problem
with these is that, in a multithreaded application such as lldb, there's
essentially no way to prevent them from being leaked into processes
other than the intended one.
A safer (though still not completely safe) approach is to mark the
descriptors as FD_CLOEXEC and only clear this flag in the subprocess. We
currently have something that almost does that, which is the ability to
add a `DuplicateFileAction` to our `ProcessLaunchInfo` struct (the
duplicated file descriptor will be created with the flag cleared). The
problem with *that* is that this approach is completely incompatible
with Windows.
Windows equivalents of file descriptors are `HANDLE`s, but these do not
have user controlled values -- applications are expected to work with
whatever HANDLE values are assigned by the OS. In unix terms, there is
no equivalent to the `dup2` syscall (only `dup`).
To find a way out of this conundrum, and create a miniscule API surface
that works uniformly across platforms, this PR proposes to extend the
`DuplicateFileAction` API to support duplicating a file descriptor onto
itself. Currently, this operation does nothing (it leaves the FD_CLOEXEC
flag set), because that's how `dup2(fd, fd)` behaves, but I think it's
not completely unreasonable to say that this operation should clear the
FD_CLOEXEC flag, just like it would do if one was using different fd
values. This would enable us to pass a windows HANDLE as itself through
the ProcessLaunchInfo API.
This PR implements the unix portion of this idea. Macos and non-macos
launchers are updated to clear FD_CLOEXEC flag when duplicating a file
descriptor onto itself, and I've created a test which enables passing a
FD_CLOEXEC file descritor to the subprocess. For the windows portion,
please see the follow-up PR.1 parent d90cac9 commit 1eaa289
