getSymbolValue now returns a value that in convenient for most callers:
* 0 for undefined
* symbol size for common symbols
* offset/address for symbols the rest
Code that needs something more specific can check getSymbolFlags.
llvm-svn: 241605
Originally added in r139314.
Back then it didn't actually get the address, it got whatever value the
relocation used: address or offset.
The values in different object formats are:
* MachO: Always an offset.
* COFF: Always an address, but when talking about the virtual address of
sections it says: "for simplicity, compilers should set this to zero".
* ELF: An offset for .o files and and address for .so files. In the case of the
.so, the relocation in not linked to any section (sh_info is 0). We can't
really compute an offset.
Some API mappings would be:
* Use getAddress for everything. It would be quite cumbersome. To compute the
address elf has to follow sh_info, which can be corrupted and therefore the
method has to return an ErrorOr. The address of the section is also the same
for every relocation in a section, so we shouldn't have to check the error
and fetch the value for every relocation.
* Use a getValue and make it up to the user to know what it is getting.
* Use a getOffset and:
* Assert for dynamic ELF objects. That is a very peculiar case and it is
probably fair to ask any tool that wants to support it to use ELF.h. The
only tool we have that reads those (llvm-readobj) already does that. The
only other use case I can think of is a dynamic linker.
* Check that COFF .obj files have sections with zero virtual address spaces. If
it turns out that some assembler/compiler produces these, we can change
COFFObjectFile::getRelocationOffset to subtract it. Given COFF format,
this can be done without the need for ErrorOr.
The getRelocationAddress method was never implemented for COFF. It also
had exactly one use in a very peculiar case: a shortcut for adding the
section value to a pcrel reloc on MachO.
Given that, I don't expect that there is any use out there of the C API. If
that is not the case, let me know and I will add it back with the implementation
inlined and do a proper deprecation.

When talking about the virtual address of sections the coff spec says:
... for simplicity, compilers should set this to zero. Otherwise, it is an
arbitrary value that is subtracted from offsets during relocation.
We don't currently subtract it, so check that it is zero.
If some producer does create such files, we can change getRelocationOffset
instead.
llvm-svn: 241447
This function can really fail since the string table offset can be out of
bounds.
Using ErrorOr makes sure the error is checked.
Hopefully a lot of the boilerplate code in tools/* can go away once we have
a diagnostic manager in Object.

If you only need Name and Value fields in the COFF symbol,
you don't need to distinguish 32 bit and 64 bit COFF symbols.
These fields start at the same offsets and have the same size.
This data strucutre is one pointer smaller than COFFSymbolRef
thus slightly efficient. I'll use this class in LLD as we create
millions of LLD symbol objects that currently contain COFFSymbolRef.
Shaving off 8 byte (or 4 byte on 32 bit) from that class actually
matters becasue of the number of objects we create in LLD.
llvm-svn: 241024
This is still a really odd function. Most calls are in object format specific
contexts and should probably be replaced with a more direct query, but at least
now this is not too obnoxious to use.
llvm-svn: 240777
On ELF that was already the case since getting the size of a symbol
never fails.
On MachO and COFF we could fail trying to get the section of a symbol. But
we don't really need the section, just the section number to know if two
symbols are in the same section or not.
llvm-svn: 240580
This returns either the symbol offset or address. Since it is not defined which
one, it never has to lookup the section and so never fails.
I will add users in the next commit.
llvm-svn: 240569
COFF and MachO only define symbol sizes for common symbols. Reflect that
in the class hierarchy by having a method for common symbols only in the base
and a general one in ELF.
This avoids the need of using a magic value for the size, which had a few
problems
* Most callers didn't check for it.
* The ones that did could not tell the magic value from a file actually having
that value.
llvm-svn: 240529
There are 3 types of relocations on MachO
* Scattered
* Section based
* Symbol based
On ELF and COFF relocations are symbol based.
We were in the strange situation that we abstracted over two of them. This makes
section based relocations MachO only.
llvm-svn: 240149
make_error_code(object_error) is slow because object::object_category()
uses a ManagedStatic variable. But the real problem is that the function is
called too frequently. This patch uses std::error_code() instead of
object_error::success. In most cases, we return "success", so this patch
reduces number of function calls to that function.

MachO and COFF quite reasonably only define the size for common symbols.
We used to try to figure out the "size" by computing the gap from one symbol to
the next.
This would not be correct in general, since a part of a section can belong to no
visible symbol (padding, private globals).
It was also really expensive, since we would walk every symbol to find the size
of one.
If a caller really wants this, it can sort all the symbols once and get all the
gaps ("size") in O(n log n) instead of O(n^2).
On MachO this also has the advantage of centralizing all the checks for an
invalid n_sect.

Summary:
This supersedes http://reviews.llvm.org/D4010, hopefully properly
dealing with the JIT case and also adds an actual test case.
DwarfContext was basically already usable for the JIT (and back when
we were overwriting ELF files it actually worked out of the box by
accident), but in order to resolve relocations correctly it needs
to know the load address of the section.
Rather than trying to get this out of the ObjectFile or requiring
the user to create a new ObjectFile just to get some debug info,
this adds the capability to pass in that info directly.
As part of this I separated out part of the LoadedObjectInfo struct
from RuntimeDyld, since it is now required at a higher layer.

These methods are only used by MCJIT and are very specific to it. In fact, they
are also fairly specific to the fact that we have a dynamic linker of
relocatable objects.

llvm-objdump printed out an error message for this off-by-one error,
but because it always exits with 0 whether or not it found an error,
the test (llvm-objdump/coff-many-relocs.test) succeeded.
I made llvm-objdump exit with EXIT_FAILURE when an error is found.
llvm-svn: 222852
It printed out base relocation table header as table entry.
This patch also makes llvm-readobj to not skip ABSOLUTE entries
becuase it was confusing.

We were a little lax in a few areas:
- We pretended that import libraries were like any old COFF file, they
are not. In fact, they aren't really COFF files at all, we should
probably grow some specialized functionality to handle them smarter.
- Our symbol iterators were more than happy to attempt to go past the
end of the symbol table if you had a symbol with a bad list of
auxiliary symbols.

In support of serializing executables, obj2yaml now records the virtual address
and size of sections. It also serializes whatever we strictly need from
the PE header, it expects that it can reconstitute everything else via
inference.
yaml2obj can reconstitute a fully linked executable.
In order to get executables correctly serialized/deserialized, other
bugs were fixed as a circumstance. We now properly respect file and
section alignments. We also avoid writing out string tables unless they
are strictly necessary.

Split getObject's smarts into checkOffset, use this to replace the
handwritten check in getSectionContents. Similarly, replace checks in
section_rel_begin/section_rel_end with getNumberOfRelocations.
No functionality change intended.

lib/Object is supposed to be robust to malformed object files. Don't
assert if we don't have a symbol table. I'll try to come up with a test
case later.
llvm-svn: 221870
getObject didn't consider the case where a pointer came before the start
of the object file. No test is included, trying to come up with
something reasonable.

mingw lies about the size of a function's AuxFunctionDefinition. Ignore
the field and rely on our heuristic to determine the symbol's size.
llvm-svn: 221485
Use the position of the subsequent symbol in the object file to infer
the size of it's predecessor. I hope to eventually remove whatever COFF
specific details from this little algorithm so that we can unify this
logic with what Mach-O does.

While getSectionContents was updated to do the right thing,
getSectionSize wasn't. Move the logic to getSectionSize and leverage it
from getSectionContents.
llvm-svn: 219391
It is not useful to return the data beyond VirtualSize it's less than
SizeOfRawData.
An implementation detail of COFF requires the section size to be rounded
up to a multiple of FileAlignment; this means that SizeOfRawData is not
representative of how large the section is. Instead, we should cap it
to VirtualSize when this occurs as it represents the true size of the
section.
Note that this is only relevant in executable files because this
rounding doesn't occur in object files (and VirtualSize is always zero).
llvm-svn: 219388
There are two methods in SectionRef that can fail:
* getName: The index into the string table can be invalid.
* getContents: The section might point to invalid contents.
Every other method will always succeed and returning and std::error_code just
complicates the code. For example, a section can have an invalid alignment,
but if we are able to get to the section structure at all and create a
SectionRef, we will always be able to read that invalid alignment.
llvm-svn: 219314
It can only return null if passed a corrupted reference with a null Ref.p.
Checking for null is then an issue for asserts to check for internal
consistency, not control flow to check for invalid input.
I didn't add an assert(sec != nullptr) because toSec itself has a far more
complete assert.
