Summary:
This change makes the allocator and function call trie implementations
move-aware and remove the FunctionCallTrie's reliance on a
heap-allocated set of allocators.
The change makes it possible to always have storage associated with
Allocator instances, not necessarily having heap-allocated memory
obtainable from these allocator instances. We also use thread-local
uninitialised storage.
We've also re-worked the segmented array implementation to have more
precondition and post-condition checks when built in debug mode. This
enables us to better implement some of the operations with surrounding
documentation as well. The `trim` algorithm now has more documentation
on the implementation, reducing the requirement to handle special
conditions, and being more rigorous on the computations involved.
In this change we also introduce an initialisation guard, through which
we prevent an initialisation operation from racing with a cleanup
operation.
We also ensure that the ThreadTries array is not destroyed while copies
into the elements are still being performed by other threads submitting
profiles.
Note that this change still has an issue with accessing thread-local
storage from signal handlers that are instrumented with XRay. We also
learn that with the testing of this patch, that there will be cases
where calls to mmap(...) (through internal_mmap(...)) might be called in
signal handlers, but are not async-signal-safe. Subsequent patches will
address this, by re-using the `BufferQueue` type used in the FDR mode
implementation for pre-allocated memory segments per active, tracing
thread.
We still want to land this change despite the known issues, with fixes
forthcoming.

llvm-svn: 347286
Summary:
This change addresses an issue which shows up with the synchronised race
between threads writing into a buffer, and another thread reading the
buffer.
In a lot of cases, we cannot guarantee that threads will always see the
signal to finalise their buffers in time despite the grace periods and
state machine maintained through atomic variables. This change addresses
it by ensuring that the same instance being updated to indicate how much
of the buffer is "used" by the writing thread is the same instance being
read by the thread processing the buffer to be written out to disk or
handled through the iterators.
To do this, we ensure that all the "extents" instances live in their own
the backing store, in a different contiguous page from the
buffer-specific backing store. We also take precautions to ensure that
the atomic variables are cache-line-sized to prevent false-sharing from
unnecessarily causing cache contention on unrelated writes/reads.
It's feasible that we may in the future be able to move the storage of
the extents objects into the single backing store, slightly changing the
way to compute the size(s) of the buffers, but in the meantime we'll
settle for the isolation afforded by having a different backing store
for the extents instances.

Summary:
This change covers a number of things spanning LLVM and compiler-rt,
which are related in a non-trivial way.
In LLVM, we have a library that handles the FDR mode even log loading,
which uses C++'s runtime polymorphism feature to better faithfully
represent the events that are written down by the FDR mode runtime. We
do this by interpreting a trace that's serliased in a common format
agreed upon by both the trace loading library and the FDR mode runtime.
This library is under active development, which consists of features
allowing us to reconstitute a higher-level event log.
This event log is used by the conversion and visualisation tools we have
for interpreting XRay traces.
One of the tools we have is a diagnostic tool in llvm-xray called
`fdr-dump` which we've been using to debug our expectations of what the
FDR runtime should be writing and what the logical FDR event log
structures are. We use this fairly extensively to reason about why some
non-trivial traces we're generating with FDR mode runtimes fail to
convert or fail to parse correctly.
One of these failures we've found in manual debugging of some of the
traces we've seen involve an inconsistency between the buffer extents (a
record indicating how many bytes to follow are part of a logical
thread's event log) and the record of the bytes written into the log --
sometimes it turns out the data could be garbage, due to buffers being
recycled, but sometimes we're seeing the buffer extent indicating a log
is "shorter" than the actual records associated with the buffer. This
case happens particularly with function entry records with a call
argument.
This change for now updates the FDR mode runtime to write the bytes for
the function call and arg record before updating the buffer extents
atomically, allowing multiple threads to see a consistent view of the
data in the buffer using the atomic counter associated with a buffer.
What we're trying to prevent here is partial updates where we see the
intermediary updates to the buffer extents (function record size then
call argument record size) becoming observable from another thread, for
instance, one doing the serialization/flushing.
To do both diagnose this issue properly, we need to be able to honour
the extents being set in the `BufferExtents` records marking the
beginning of the logical buffers when reading an FDR trace. Since LLVM
doesn't use C++'s RTTI mechanism, we instead follow the advice in the
documentation for LLVM Style RTTI
(https://llvm.org/docs/HowToSetUpLLVMStyleRTTI.html). We then rely on
this RTTI feature to ensure that our file-based record producer (our
streaming "deserializer") can honour the extents of individual buffers
as we interpret traces.
This also sets us up to be able to eventually do smart
skipping/continuation of FDR logs, seeking instead to find BufferExtents
records in cases where we find potentially recoverable errors. In the
meantime, we make this change to operate in a strict mode when reading
logical buffers with extent records.

Summary:
This change updates the version number for FDR logs to 5, and update the
trace processing to support changes in the custom event records.
In the runtime, since we're already writing down the record preamble to
handle CPU migrations and TSC wraparound, we can use the same TSC delta
encoding in the custom event and typed event records that we use in
function event records. We do the same change to typed events (which
were unsupported before this change in the trace processing) which now
show up in the trace.
Future changes should increase our testing coverage to make custom and
typed events as first class entities in the FDR mode log processing
tools.
This change is also a good example of how we end up supporting new
record types in the FDR mode implementation. This shows the places where
new record types are added and supported.

Summary:
This change cuts across LLVM and compiler-rt to add support for

user-provided annotations in the output YAML (as raw bytes).
This work enables us to add custom event and typed event records into
the `llvm::xray::Trace` type for user-provided events. This can then be
programmatically handled through the C++ API and can be included in some
of the tooling as well. For now we support printing the raw data we
encounter in the custom events in the converted output.
Future work will allow us to start interpreting these custom and typed
events through a yet-to-be-defined API for extending the trace analysis

Summary:
Prior to this change, we can run into situations where the TSC we're
getting when exiting a function is less than the TSC we got when
entering it. This would sometimes cause the counter for cumulative call
times overflow, which was erroneously also being stored as a signed
64-bit integer.
This change addresses both these issues while adding provisions for
tracking CPU migrations. We do this because moving from one CPU to
another doesn't guarantee that the timestamp counter for some
architectures aren't guaranteed to be synchronised. For the moment, we
leave the provisions there until we can update the data format to
include the counting of CPU migrations we can catch.
We update the necessary tests as well, ensuring that our expectations
for the cycle accounting to be met in case of counter wraparound.

This change cuts across compiler-rt and llvm, to increment the FDR log
version number to 4, and include the CPU ID in the custom event records.
This is a step towards allowing us to change the `llvm::xray::Trace`
object to start representing both custom and typed events in the stream
of records. Follow-on changes will allow us to change the kinds of
records we're presenting in the stream of traces, to incorporate the
data in custom/typed events.
A follow-on change will handle the typed event case, where it may not
fit within the 15-byte buffer for metadata records.
This work is part of the larger effort to enable writing analysis and
processing tools using a common in-memory representation of the events
found in traces. The work will focus on porting existing tools in LLVM
to use the common representation and informing the design of a

Summary:
This is an intermediary step in the full support for generational buffer
management in the FDR runtime. This change makes the FDR controller
aware of the new generation number in the buffers handed out by the
BufferQueue type.
In the process of making this change, we've realised that the cleanest
way of ensuring that the backing store per generation is live while all
the threads that need access to it will need reference counting to tie
the backing store to the lifetime of all threads that have a handle on
buffers associated with the memory.
We also learn that we're missing the edge-case in the function exit
handler's implementation where the first record being written into the
buffer is a function exit, which is caught/fixed by the test for
generational buffer management.
We still haven't wired the controller into the FDR mode runtime, which
will need the reference counting on the backing store implemented to
ensure that we're being conservatively thread-safe with this approach.

Summary:
This change implements a controller for abstracting away the details of
what happens when tracing with FDR mode. This controller type allows us
to test in isolation the various cases where we're encountering function
entry, exit, and other kinds of events we are handling when FDR mode is
enabled.
This change introduces a number of testing facilities we've needed to
better support expressing the conditions we need for the unit tests. We
leave some TODOs for moving those utilities into the LLVM project,
sitting in the `Testing` library, to make matching conditions on XRay
`Trace` instances through googlemock more manageable and declarative.
We don't wire in the controller right away, to allow us to incrementally
update the implementation(s) as we increase testing coverage of the
controller type. There's a need to re-think the way we're managing
buffers in a multi-threaded environment, which is more invasive than
this implementation.
This step in the process allows us to encode our assumptions in the
implementation of the controller, and then evolve the buffer queue
implementation to support generational buffer management to ensure we
can continue to support the cases we're already supporting with the
controller.

- Use `llvm-config` better in the compiler-rt XRay implementation, to

require that the LLVMXRay library (and LLVMSupport as well) are
available during the build. In case the static libraries are available,
the unit tests will build and work fine. We're still having issues with
attempting to use a shared library version of the LLVMXRay library since
the shared library might not be accessible from the standard shared
library lookup paths.
The larger change here is the inclusion of the LLVMXRay library in the
