Patch by Ben Gamari!
This redefines the `prefix` attribute introduced previously and
introduces a `prologue` attribute. There are a two primary usecases
that these attributes aim to serve,
1. Function prologue sigils
2. Function hot-patching: Enable the user to insert `nop` operations
at the beginning of the function which can later be safely replaced
with a call to some instrumentation facility
3. Runtime metadata: Allow a compiler to insert data for use by the
runtime during execution. GHC is one example of a compiler that
needs this functionality for its tables-next-to-code functionality.
Previously `prefix` served cases (1) and (2) quite well by allowing the user
to introduce arbitrary data at the entrypoint but before the function
body. Case (3), however, was poorly handled by this approach as it
required that prefix data was valid executable code.
Here we redefine the notion of prefix data to instead be data which
occurs immediately before the function entrypoint (i.e. the symbol
address). Since prefix data now occurs before the function entrypoint,
there is no need for the data to be valid code.
The previous notion of prefix data now goes under the name "prologue
data" to emphasize its duality with the function epilogue.
The intention here is to handle cases (1) and (2) with prologue data and
case (3) with prefix data.

This idea arose out of discussions[1] with Reid Kleckner in response to a
proposal to introduce the notion of symbol offsets to enable handling of
case (3).

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.

Previously, when loading an object file, RuntimeDyld (1) took ownership of the
ObjectFile instance (and associated MemoryBuffer), (2) potentially modified the
object in-place, and (3) returned an ObjectImage that managed ownership of the
now-modified object and provided some convenience methods. This scheme accreted
over several years as features were tacked on to RuntimeDyld, and was both
unintuitive and unsafe (See e.g. http://llvm.org/PR20722).
This patch fixes the issue by removing all ownership and in-place modification
of object files from RuntimeDyld. Existing behavior, including debugger
registration, is preserved.
Noteworthy changes include:
(1) ObjectFile instances are now passed to RuntimeDyld by const-ref.
(2) The ObjectImage and ObjectBuffer classes have been removed entirely, they
existed to model ownership within RuntimeDyld, and so are no longer needed.
(3) RuntimeDyld::loadObject now returns an instance of a new class,
RuntimeDyld::LoadedObjectInfo, which can be used to construct a modified
object suitable for registration with the debugger, following the existing
debugger registration scheme.
(4) The JITRegistrar class has been removed, and the GDBRegistrar class has been
re-written as a JITEventListener.
This should fix http://llvm.org/PR20722 .

Fix ARMAttributeParser::CPU_arch_profile so that it doesn't switch on the value
'0' as a legal value of this build attribute.

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.
llvm-svn: 222319
StringSet is still a bit dodgy in that it exposes the raw iterator of
the StringMap parent, which exposes the weird detail that StringSet
actually has a 'value'... but anyway, this is useful for a handful of
clients that want to reference the newly inserted/persistent string data
in the StringSet/Map/Entry/thing.

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.
llvm-svn: 222299
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.

While this program worked correctly with small example programs, larger
ones tickled this bug. I'm working on a reduction because my program is
quite large.

FYI, removed the unused MCInstrAnalysis as it does not exist for 64-bit ARM and
was causing a “couldn't initialize disassembler for target” error.

This reverts commit r221842 which was a revert of r221836 and of the
test parts of r221837.
This new version fixes an UB bug pointed out by David (along with
addressing some other review comments), makes some dumping more
resilient to broken input data and forces the accelerator tables
to be dumped in the tests where we use them (this decision is
platform specific otherwise).

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.

This teaches CoverageMapping::getCoveredFunctions to filter to a
particular file and uses that to replace most of the logic found in
llvm-cov report.

On error conditions, relocAddressLess might claim that a value is less
than itself. Instead, abort llvm-readobj. No functionality change
intended.
llvm-svn: 221872
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
This reverts commit r221836.
The tests are asserting on some buildbots. This also reverts the
test part of r221837 as it relies on dwarfdump dumping the
accelerator tables.

With this patch MCDisassembler::getInstruction takes an ArrayRef<uint8_t>
instead of a MemoryObject.
Even on X86 there is a maximum size an instruction can have. Given
that, it seems way simpler and more efficient to just pass an ArrayRef
to the disassembler instead of a MemoryObject and have it do a virtual
call every time it wants some extra bytes.

Add API for specifying which `LLVMContext` each `lto_module_t` and
`lto_code_gen_t` is in.
In particular, this enables the following flow:
for (auto &File : Files) {
lto_module_t M = lto_module_create_in_local_context(File...);
querySymbols(M);
lto_module_dispose(M);
}
lto_code_gen_t CG = lto_codegen_create_in_local_context();
for (auto &File : FilesToLink) {
lto_module_t M = lto_module_create_in_codegen_context(File..., CG);
lto_codegen_add_module(CG, M);
lto_module_dispose(M);
}
lto_codegen_compile(CG);
lto_codegen_write_merged_modules(CG, ...);
lto_codegen_dispose(CG);
This flow has a few benefits.
- Only one module (two if you count the combined module in the code
generator) is in memory at a time.
- Metadata (and constants) from files that are parsed to query symbols
but not linked into the code generator don't pollute the global
context.
- The first for loop can be parallelized, since each module is in its
own context.
- When the code generator is disposed, the memory from LTO gets freed.

Instead, we're going to separate metadata from the Value hierarchy. See

FIXME: It should work on not only Linux but elf-targeting gnu ld.
For example if LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS is "BitWriter Support", CMake emits the command line like;
-Wl,--whole-archive
lib/libLLVMBitWriter.a
lib/libLLVMSupport.a *1
-Wl,--no-whole-archive
lib/libLLVMCore.a
lib/libLLVMSupport.a *2
-lrt -ldl -ltinfo -lpthread -lm
It works since symbols in LLVMCore is resolved with not *2 but *1.
Unfortunately, --gc-sections is not powerful in this case to prune unused "visibility(default)" entries.
I am still experimenting other way not to rely on --whole-archive.
