Now that pr23900 is fixed, we can bring it back with no changes.
Original message:
Make all temporary symbols unnamed.
What this does is make all symbols that would otherwise start with a .L
(or L on MachO) unnamed.
Some of these symbols still show up in the symbol table, but we can just
make them unnamed.
In order to make sure we produce identical results when going thought assembly,
all .L (not just the compiler produced ones), are now unnamed.
Running llc on llvm-as.opt.bc, the peak memory usage goes from 208.24MB to
205.57MB.

Directional labels can show up in symbol tables (and we have a llvm-mc test for
that). Given that, we need to make sure they are named.
With that out of the way, use setUseNamesOnTempLabels in llvm-mc so that it
too benefits from the memory saving.

Similarly to User which allocates a number of Use's prior to the this pointer,
allocate space for the Name* for MCSymbol only when we need a name.
Given that an MCSymbol is 48-bytes on 64-bit systems, this saves a decent % of space.
Given the verify_uselistorder test case with debug info and llc, 50k symbols have names
out of 700k so this optimises for the common case of temporary unnamed symbols.

Some temporary symbols are created by MC itself. These symbols are never used
for lookup and are never included in the object symbol table, so we can
avoid creating a name for them.
Other temporaries are created by CodeGen or by the user by explicitly asking
for a name starting with .L (or L on MachO).
These temporaries behave like regular symbols, we just try to avoid including
them in the object symbol table, but sometimes they end up there:
const char *foo() {
return "abc" + 3;
}
will have a relocation pointing to a .L symbol.
It just so happens that almost all MC created temporary has the AlwaysAddSuffix
option and CodeGen/user created ones don't.
One interesting future optimization would be to use unnamed symbols for
all temporaries, but that would require use an st_name of 0 or
having the object writer create the names if a symbol does end up in the
symbol table.
No testcase since this just avoid creating a few extra names for MC created
temporaries.

This create a MCSymbolELF class and moves SymbolSize since only ELF
needs a size expression.
This reduces the size of MCSymbol from 56 to 48 bytes.

Shave a pointer off of `MCSymbolName` by storing `StringMapEntry<bool>*`
instead of `StringRef`. This brings `sizeof(MCSymbol)` down to 64 on
64-bit platforms, a nice round number. My profile showed memory
dropping from 914 MB down to 908 MB, roughly 0.7%. Other than memory
usage, no functionality change here.

This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

Don't create names for temporary symbols when using an object streamer.
The names never make it to the output anyway. From the starting point
of r236629, my heap profile says this drops peak memory usage from 1100
MB to 1058 MB for CodeGen of `verify-uselistorder`, a savings of almost
4% on peak memory, and removes `StringMap<bool, BumpPtrAllocator...>`
from the profile entirely.

Currently symbol names are printed in quotes if it contains something

This allows the compiler/assembly programmer to switch back to a
section. This in turn fixes the bootstrap failure on powerpc (tested
on gcc110) without changing the ppc codegen at all.

This lets us catch exceptions in simple cases.
N.B. Things that do not work include (but are not limited to):
- Throwing from within a catch handler.
- Catching an object with a named catch parameter.
- 'CatchHigh' is fictitious, we aren't sure of its purpose.
- We aren't entirely efficient with regards to the number of EH states
that we generate.
- IP-to-State tables are sensitive to the order of emission.

These sections are never looked up and we know when have to create them. Use
that to save adding them to the regular map and avoid a symbol->string->symbol
conversion for the group symbol.
This also makes the implementation independent of the details of how unique
sections are implemented.
llvm-svn: 233539
Before this patch code wanting to create temporary labels for a given entity
(function, cu, exception range, etc) had to keep its own counter to have stable
symbol names.
createTempSymbol would still add a suffix to make sure a new symbol was always
returned, but it kept a single counter. Because of that, if we were to use
just createTempSymbol("cu_begin"), the label could change from cu_begin42 to
cu_begin43 because some other code started using temporary labels.
Simplify this by just keeping one counter per prefix and removing the various
specialized counters.

This lets us pass the symbol to the constructor and avoid the mutable field.
This also opens the way for outputting the symbol only when needed, instead

This removes a bit of duplicated code and more importantly, remembers the
labels so that they don't need to be looked up by name.
This in turn allows for any name to be used and avoids a crash if the name

Add support for having multiple sections with the same name and comdat.

Any code creating an MCSectionELF knows ELF and already provides the flags.
SectionKind is an abstraction used by common code that uses a plain

These intrinsics allow multiple functions to share a single stack
allocation from one function's call frame. The function with the
allocation may only perform one allocation, and it must be in the entry
block.
Functions accessing the allocation call llvm.recoverframeallocation with
the function whose frame they are accessing and a frame pointer from an
active call frame of that function.
These intrinsics are very difficult to inline correctly, so the
intention is that they be introduced rarely, or at least very late
during EH preparation.

Having two ways to do this doesn't seem terribly helpful and
consistently using the insert version (which we already has) seems like
it'll make the code easier to understand to anyone working with standard
data structures. (I also updated many references to the Entry's
key and value to use first() and second instead of getKey{Data,Length,}
and get/setValue - for similar consistency)
Also removes the GetOrCreateValue functions so there's less surface area
to StringMap to fix/improve/change/accommodate move semantics, etc.

The only difference from r219829 is using
getOrCreateSectionSymbol(*ELFSec)
instead of
GetOrCreateSymbol(ELFSec->getSectionName())
in ELFObjectWriter which causes us to use the correct section symbol even if
we have multiple sections with the same name.
Original messages:
r219829:
Correctly handle references to section symbols.
When processing assembly like
.long .text
we were creating a new undefined symbol .text. GAS on the other hand would
handle that as a reference to the .text section.
This patch implements that by creating the section symbols earlier so that
they are visible during asm parsing.
The patch also updates llvm-readobj to print the symbol number in the relocation
dump so that the test can differentiate between two sections with the same name.

This fixes a long standing issue where we would emit many little .text
sections and only one .pdata and .xdata section. Now we generate one
.pdata / .xdata pair per .text section and associate them correctly.

COFF lacks a feature that other object file formats support: mergeable
sections.
To work around this, MSVC sticks constant pool entries in special COMDAT
sections so that each constant is in it's own section. This permits
unused constants to be dropped and it also allows duplicate constants in
different translation units to get merged together.
This fixes PR20262.

COFF sections in MC were represented by a tuple of section-name and
COMDAT-name. This is not sufficient to represent a .text section

string_ostream is a safe and efficient string builder that combines opaque
stack storage with a built-in ostream interface.
small_string_ostream<bytes> additionally permits an explicit stack storage size
other than the default 128 bytes to be provided. Beyond that, storage is
transferred to the heap.
This convenient class can be used in most places an
std::string+raw_string_ostream pair or SmallString<>+raw_svector_ostream pair
would previously have been used, in order to guarantee consistent access
without byte truncation.
The patch also converts much of LLVM to use the new facility. These changes
include several probable bug fixes for truncated output, a programming error
that's no longer possible with the new interface.

Currently, when using llvm as an assembler, DWARF debug information is only

* Section association cannot use just the section name as many
sections can have the same name. With this patch, the comdat symbol in
an assoc section is interpreted to mean a symbol in the associated
section and the mapping is discovered from it.
* Comdat symbols were not being set correctly. Instead we were getting
whatever was output first for that section.
A consequence is that associative sections now must use .section to
set the association. Using .linkonce would not work since it is not
possible to change a sections comdat symbol (it is used to decide if
we should create a new section or reuse an existing one).
This includes r210298, which was reverted because it was asserting
on an associated section having the same comdat as the associated
section.

This was initialized by llvm-mc (calling setDwarfVersion) but other
clients (such as clang, llc, etc) aren't necessarily initializing this
so we were getting garbage DWARF version values in the output.
Initialize it to a reasonable default (the same default used in llvm-mc,
though this is higher than it was (2) previously).

To support compressing the debug_line section that contains multiple
fragments (due, I believe, to variation in choices of line table
encoding depending on the size of instruction ranges in the actual
program code) we needed to support compressing multiple MCFragments in a
single pass.
This patch implements that behavior by mutating the post-relaxed and
relocated section to be the compressed form of its former self,
including renaming the section.
This is a more flexible (and less invasive, to a degree) implementation
that will allow for other features such as "use compression only if it's
smaller than the uncompressed data".
Compressing debug_frame would be a possible further extension to this
work, but I've left it for now. The hurdle there is alignment sections -
which might require going as far as to refactor
MCAssembler.cpp:writeFragment to handle writing to a byte buffer or an
MCObjectWriter (there's already a virtual call there, so it shouldn't
add substantial compile-time cost) which could in turn involve
refactoring MCAsmBackend::writeNopData to use that same abstraction...
which involves touching all the backends. This would remove the limited
handling of fragment writing seen in
ELFObjectWriter.cpp:getUncompressedData which would be nice - but it's
more invasive.
I did discover that I (perhaps obviously) don't need to handle
relocations when I rewrite the fragments - since the relocations have
already been applied and computed (and stored into
ELFObjectWriter::Relocations) by this stage (necessarily, because we
need to have written any immediate values or assembly-time relocations
into the data already before we compress it, which we have). The test
case doesn't necessarily cover that in detail - I can add more test
coverage if that's preferred.

The upcoming ARM64 backend doesn't have section-relative relocations,

linker-private is the best kind for this purpose.

Turns out debug_frame does use multiple fragments, so it doesn't
compress correctly with the current approach. Disable compressing it for
now while I figure out what's the best solution for it.
llvm-svn: 205059
1) When creating a .debug_* section and instead create a .zdebug_
section.
2) When creating a fragment in a .zdebug_* section, make it a compressed
fragment.
3) When computing the size of a compressed section, compress the data
and use the size of the compressed data.
4) Emit the compressed bytes.
Also, check that only if a section has a compressed fragment, then that
is the only fragment in the section.
Assert-fail if the fragment's data is modified after it is compressed.

There aren't /that/ many files, and we are already using various maps
and other standard containers that don't use MCContext's allocator to
store these values, so this doesn't seem to be critical and simplifies
the design (I'll be moving construction out of MCContext shortly so it'd
be annoying to have to pass the allocator around to allocate these
things... and we'll have non-MCContext users (debug_line.dwo) shortly)

This changes the implementation of local directional labels to use a dedicated
map. With that it can then just use CreateTempSymbol, which is what the rest
of MC uses.
CreateTempSymbol doesn't do a great job at making sure the names are unique
(or being efficient when the names are not needed), but that should probably
be fixed in a followup patch.
This fixes pr18928.

This replaces several "compile unit ID -> thing" mappings in favor of
one mapping from CUID to the whole line table structure (files,
directories, and lines).
This is another step along the way to refactoring out reusable
components of line table handling for use when generating debug_line.dwo
for fission type units.
Also, might be a good basis to fold some of this handling down into
MCStreamers to avoid the special case of "One line table when doing asm
printing, line table per CU otherwise" by building it into the different
MCStreamer implementations.
llvm-svn: 203821
This makes the mapping consistent with other CU->X mappings in the
MCContext, helping pave the way to refactor all these values into a
single data structure per CU and thus a single map.
I haven't renamed the data structure as that would make the patch churn
even higher (the MCLineSection name no longer makes sense, as this
structure now contains lines for multiple sections covered by a single
CU, rather than lines for a single section in multiple CUs) and further
refactorings will follow that may remove this type entirely.
For convenience, I also gave the MCLineSection value semantics so we
didn't have to do the lazy construction, manual delete, etc.
(& for those playing at home, refactoring the line printing into a
single data structure will eventually alow that data structure to be
reused to own the debug_line.dwo line table used for type unit file name
resolution)

MCJIT needs to be able to run in hostile environments, even when PWD
is invalid. There's no need to crash MCJIT in this case.
The obvious fix is to simply leave MCContext's CompilationDir empty
when PWD can't be determined. This way, MCJIT clients,
and other clients that link with LLVM don’t need a valid working directory.
If we do want to guarantee valid CompilationDir, that should be done
only for clients of getCompilationDir(). This is as simple as checking
for an empty string.
The only current use of getCompilationDir is EmitGenDwarfInfo, which
won’t conceivably run with an invalid working dir. However, in the
purely hypothetically and untestable case that this happens, the
AT_comp_dir will be omitted from the compilation_unit DIE.

This is the first step to fix pr17918.
It extends the .section directive a bit, inspired by what the ELF one looks
like. The problem with using linkonce is that given
.section foo
.linkonce....
.section foo
.linkonce
we would already have switched sections when getting to .linkonce. The cleanest
solution seems to be to add the comdat information in the .section itself.

We now emit a line table for each compile unit. To reduce the prologue size
of each line table, the files and directories used by each compile unit are
stored in std::map<unsigned, std::vector< > > instead of std::vector< >.
The prologue for a lto'ed image can be as big as 93K. Duplicating 93K for each
compile unit causes a huge increase of debug info. With this patch, each
prologue will only emit the files required by the compile unit.
