Summary:
Before this patch, `relaxInstruction` takes three arguments, the first
argument refers to the instruction before relaxation and the third
argument is the output instruction after relaxation. There are two quite
strange things:
1) The first argument's type is `const MCInst &`, the third
argument's type is `MCInst &`, but they may be aliased to the same
variable
2) The backends of ARM, AMDGPU, RISC-V, Hexagon assume that the third
argument is a fresh uninitialized `MCInst` even if `relaxInstruction`
may be called like `relaxInstruction(Relaxed, STI, Relaxed)` in a
loop.
In this patch, we drop the thrid argument, and let `relaxInstruction`
directly modify the given instruction. Also, this patch fixes the bug https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45580, which is introduced by D77851, and
breaks the assumption of ARM, AMDGPU, RISC-V, Hexagon.

For `.bss; nop`, MC inappropriately calls abort() (via report_fatal_error()) with a message
`cannot have fixups in virtual section!`
It is a bug to crash for invalid user input. Fix it by erroring out early in EmitInstToData().
Similarly, emitIntValue() in a virtual section (SHT_NOBITS in ELF) can crash with the mssage
`non-zero initializer found in section '.bss'` (see D4199)
It'd be nice to report the location but so many directives can call emitIntValue()
and it is difficult to track every location.
Note, COFF does not crash because MCAssembler::writeSectionData() is not
called for an IMAGE_SCN_CNT_UNINITIALIZED_DATA section.
Note, GNU as' arm64 backend reports ``Error: attempt to store non-zero value in section `.bss'``
for a non-zero .inst but fails to do so for other instructions.
We simply reject all instructions, even if the encoding is all zeros.

Summary: We allow non-relaxable instructions emitted into relaxable Fragment when we prefix padding branch. So we need to check if the instruction need relaxation before relaxing it. Without this patch, it currently triggers a `report_fatal_error` in `llvm::MCAsmBackend::relaxInstruction` when we prefix padding branch along with `--mc-relax-all`.

Summary:
Since D75300 has been landed, I want to support enhanced relaxation when we need to align branches and allow prefix padding. "Enhanced Relaxtion" means we allow an instruction that could not be traditionally relaxed to be emitted into RelaxableFragment so that we increase its length by adding prefixes for optimization.
The motivation is straightforward, RelaxFragment is mostly for relative jumps and we can not increase the length of jumps when we need to align them, so if we need to achieve D75300's purpose (reducing the bytes of nops) when need to align jumps, we have to make more instructions "relaxable".

alignBranches is X86 specific, change the name in a
more general one since other target can do some state
chang before and after emitting the instruction.
Summary:
Currently, a BoundaryAlign fragment may be inserted after the branch
that needs to be aligned to truncate the current fragment, this fragment is
unused at most of time. To avoid that, we can insert a new empty Data
fragment instead. Non-relaxable instruction is usually emitted into Data
fragment, so the inserted empty Data fragment will be reused at a high
possibility.

As discussed heavily in the original review (D70157), there's a need for the compiler to be able to selective suppress padding (either nop or prefix) to respect assumptions about the meaning of labels and instructions in generated code.
Rather than wait for syntax to be finalized - which appears to be a very slow process - this patch focuses on the compiler use case and *only* worries about the integrated assembler. To my knowledge, this covers all cases mentioned to date for clang/JIT support.
For testing purposes, I wired it up so that if the integrated assembler was using autopadding for branch alignment (e.g. enabled at command line) then the textual assembly output would contain a comment for each location where padding was enabled or disabled. This seemed like the least painful choice overall.
Note that the result of this patch effective disables the jcc errata mitigation for many constructs (statepoints, implicit null checks, xray, etc...) which is non ideal. It is at least *correct* and should allow us to enable the mitigation for the compiler. Once that's done, and a few other items are worked through, we probably want to come back to this an explore a bundling based approach instead so that we can pad instructions while keeping labels in the right place.

WARNING: If you're looking at this patch because you're looking for a full
performace mitigation of the Intel JCC Erratum, this is not it!
This is a preliminary patch on the patch towards mitigating the performance
regressions caused by Intel's microcode update for Jump Conditional Code
Erratum. For context, see:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000055650.html
The patch adds the required assembler infrastructure and command line options
needed to exercise the logic for INTERNAL TESTING. These are NOT public flags,
and should not be used for anything other than LLVM's own testing/debugging
purposes. They are likely to change both in spelling and meaning.
WARNING: This patch is knowingly incorrect in some cornercases. We need, and
do not yet provide, a mechanism to selective enable/disable the padding.
Conversation on this will continue in parellel with work on extending this
infrastructure to support prefix padding.
The goal here is to have the assembler align specific instructions such that
they neither cross or end at a 32 byte boundary. The impacted instructions are:
a. Conditional jump.
b. Fused conditional jump.
c. Unconditional jump.
d. Indirect jump.
e. Ret.
f. Call.
The new options for llvm-mc are:
-x86-align-branch-boundary=NUM aligns branches within NUM byte boundary.
-x86-align-branch=TYPE[+TYPE...] specifies types of branches to align.
A new MCFragment type, MCBoundaryAlignFragment, is added, which may emit
NOP to align the fused/unfused branch.
alignBranchesBegin inserts MCBoundaryAlignFragment before instructions,
alignBranchesEnd marks the end of the branch to be aligned,
relaxBoundaryAlign grows or shrinks sizes of NOP to align the target branch.
Nop padding is disabled when the instruction may be rewritten by the linker,
such as TLS Call.

Summary:
This commit builds upon Derek Schuff's 2014 commit for attaching labels to
existing fragments ( Diff Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D5915 )
When temporary labels appear ahead of a fragment, MCObjectStreamer will
track the temporary label symbol in a "Pending Labels" list. Labels are
associated with fragments when a real fragment arrives; otherwise, an empty
data fragment will be created if the streamer's section changes or if the
stream finishes.
This commit moves the "Pending Labels" list into each MCStream, so that
this label-fragment matching process is resilient to section changes. If
the streamer emits a label in a new section, switches to another section to
do other work, then switches back to the first section and emits a
fragment, that initial label will be associated with this new fragment.
Labels will only receive empty data fragments in the case where no other
fragment exists for that section.
The downstream effects of this can be seen in Mach-O relocations. The
previous approach could produce local section relocations and external
symbol relocations for the same data in an object file, and this mix of
relocation types resulted in problems in the ld64 Mach-O linker. This
commit ensures relocations triggered by temporary labels are consistent.

This patch removes hidden codegen flag -print-schedule effectively reverting the
logic originally committed as r300311
(https://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=revision&revision=300311).
Flag -print-schedule was originally introduced by r300311 to address PR32216
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32216). That bug was about adding "Better
testing of schedule model instruction latencies/throughputs".
These days, we can use llvm-mca to test scheduling models. So there is no longer
a need for flag -print-schedule in LLVM. The main use case for PR32216 is
now addressed by llvm-mca.
Flag -print-schedule is mainly used for debugging purposes, and it is only
actually used by x86 specific tests. We already have extensive (latency and
throughput) tests under "test/tools/llvm-mca" for X86 processor models. That
means, most (if not all) existing -print-schedule tests for X86 are redundant.
When flag -print-schedule was first added to LLVM, several files had to be
modified; a few APIs gained new arguments (see for example method
MCAsmStreamer::EmitInstruction), and MCSubtargetInfo/TargetSubtargetInfo gained
a couple of getSchedInfoStr() methods.
Method getSchedInfoStr() had to originally work for both MCInst and
MachineInstr. The original implmentation of getSchedInfoStr() introduced a
subtle layering violation (reported as PR37160 and then fixed/worked-around by
r330615).
In retrospect, that new API could have been designed more optimally. We can
always query MCSchedModel to get the latency and throughput. More importantly,
the "sched-info" string should not have been generated by the subtarget.
Note, r317782 fixed an issue where "print-schedule" didn't work very well in the
presence of inline assembly. That commit is also reverted by this change.

BTF is the debug format for BPF, a kernel virtual machine
and widely used for tracing, networking and security, etc ([1]).
Currently only instruction streams are passed to kernel,
the kernel verifier verifies them before execution. In order to
provide better visibility of bpf programs to user space
tools, some debug information, e.g., function names and
debug line information are desirable for kernel so tools
can get such information with better annotation
for jited instructions for performance or other reasons.
The dwarf is too complicated in kernel and for BPF.
Hence, BTF is designed to be the debug format for BPF ([2]).
Right now, pahole supports BTF for types, which
are generated based on dwarf sections in the ELF file.
In order to annotate performance metrics for jited bpf insns,
it is necessary to pass debug line info to the kernel.
Furthermore, we want to pass the actual code to the
kernel because of the following reasons:
. bpf program typically is small so storage overhead
should be small.
. in bpf land, it is totally possible that
an application loads the bpf program into the
kernel and then that application quits, so
holding debug info by the user space application
is not practical.
. having source codes directly kept by kernel
would ease deployment since the original source
code does not need ship on every hosts and
kernel-devel package does not need to be
deployed even if kernel headers are used.
The only reliable time to get the source code is
during compilation time. This will result in both more
accurate information and easier deployment as
stated in the above.
Another consideration is for JIT. The project like bcc
use MCJIT to compile a C program into bpf insns and
load them to the kernel ([3]). The generated BTF sections
will be readily available for such cases as well.
This patch implemented generation of BTF info in llvm
compiler. The BTF related sections will be generated
when both -target bpf and -g are specified. Two sections
are generated:
.BTF contains all the type and string information, and
.BTF.ext contains the func_info and line_info.
The separation is related to how two sections are used
differently in bpf loader, e.g., linux libbpf ([4]).
The .BTF section can be loaded into the kernel directly
while .BTF.ext needs loader manipulation before loading
to the kernel. The format of the each section is roughly
defined in llvm:include/llvm/MC/MCBTFContext.h and
from the implementation in llvm:lib/MC/MCBTFContext.cpp.
A later example also shows the contents in each section.
The type and func_info are gathered during CodeGen/AsmPrinter
by traversing dwarf debug_info. The line_info is
gathered in MCObjectStreamer before writing to
the object file. After all the information is gathered,
the two sections are emitted in MCObjectStreamer::finishImpl.
With cmake CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug, the compiler can
dump out all the tables except insn offset, which
will be resolved later as relocation records.
The debug type "btf" is used for BTFContext dump.
Dwarf tests the debug info generation with
llvm-dwarfdump to decode the binary sections and
check whether the result is expected. Currently
we do not have such a tool yet. We will implement
btf dump functionality in bpftool ([5]) as the bpftool is
considered the recommended tool for bpf introspection.
The implementation for type and func_info is tested
with linux kernel test cases. The line_info is visually
checked with dump from linux kernel libbpf ([4]) and
checked with readelf dumping section raw data.
Note that the .BTF and .BTF.ext information will not
be emitted to assembly code and there is no assembler
support for BTF either.

Now that we create the label at the point of the directive, we don't

Previously we followed the DWARF implementation, which waits until the

When emitting the difference between two symbols, the standard behavior is
that the difference will be resolved to an absolute value if both of the
symbols are offsets from the same data fragment. This is undesirable on
architectures such as RISC-V where relaxation in the linker may cause the
computed difference to become invalid. This caused an issue when compiling to
object code, where the size of a function in the debug information was already
calculated even though it could change as a consequence of relaxation in the
subsequent linking stage.
This patch inhibits the resolution of symbol differences to absolute values
where the target's AsmBackend has declared that it does not want these to be

On targets like Arm some relaxations may only be performed when certain

differing levels of architectural support we must make a judgement on
whether we can relax based on the MCSubtargetInfo for the function. This
change passes through the MCSubtargetInfo for the function to
fixupNeedsRelaxation so that the decision on whether to relax can be made
per function. In this patch, only the ARM backend makes use of this
information. We must also pass the MCSubtargetInfo to applyFixup because
some fixups skip error checking on the assumption that relaxation has

pass. This can most easily be resolved by folding the MCAsmStreamer
and MCObjectStreamer together which is planned for in a separate
patch.
Currently, this feature is only enabled for assembly input, keeping IR
compilation consistent between assembly and object generation.
