Summary:
ELF linkers generate __start_<secname> and __stop_<secname> symbols
when there is a value in a section <secname> where the name is a valid
C identifier. If dead stripping determines that the values declared
in section <secname> are dead, and we then internalize (and delete)
such a symbol, programs that reference the corresponding start and end
section symbols will get undefined reference linking errors.
To fix this, add the section name to the IRSymtab entry when a symbol is
defined in a specific section. Then use this in the gold-plugin to mark
the symbol as external and visible from outside the summary when the
section name is a valid C identifier.

That may be useful if we want to produce or parse object containing
broken relocation values using yaml2obj/obj2yaml.
Previously that was impossible because only enum values were parsed
correctly, this patch allows to put any numeric value as a
relocation type.

All GlobalIndirectSymbol types (not just GlobalAlias) should return
their base object.
Without this patch LTO would warn "Unable to determine comdat of

Summary:
Our YAML library's handling of tags isn't perfect, but it is good enough to get rid of the need for the --format argument to yaml2obj. This patch does exactly that.
Instead of requiring --format, it infers the format based on the tags found in the object file. The supported tags are:
!ELF
!COFF
!mach-o
!fat-mach-o
I have a corresponding patch that is quite large that fixes up all the in-tree test cases.

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
They are implemented like that in some object formats, but for the interface
provided by lib/Object, SF_Undefined and SF_Common are different things.
This matches the ELF and COFF implementation and fixes llvm-nm for MachO.
llvm-svn: 241587
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.

Summary: This helps llvm-objdump -r to print out the symbol name along
with the relocation type on x86. Adjust existing tests from checking
for "Unknown" to check for the symbol now.
Test Plan: Adjusted test/Object tests.

The code is buggy and barely tested. It is also mostly boilerplate.
(This includes MCObjectDisassembler, which is the interface to that
functionality)
Following an IRC discussion with Jim Grosbach, it seems sensible to just
nuke the whole lot of functionality, and dig it up from VCS if
necessary (I hope not!).
All of this stuff appears to have been added in a huge patch dump (look
at the timeframe surrounding e.g. r182628) where almost every patch
seemed to be untested and not reviewed before being committed.
Post-review responses to the patches were never addressed. I don't think
any of it would have passed pre-commit review.
I doubt anyone is depending on this, since this code appears to be
extremely buggy. In limited testing that Michael Spencer and I did, we
couldn't find a single real-world object file that wouldn't crash the
CFG reconstruction stuff. The symbolizer stuff has O(n^2) behavior and
so is not much use to anyone anyway. It seemed simpler to remove them as
a whole. Most of this code is boilerplate, which is the only way it was
able to scrape by 60% coverage.
HEADSUP: Modules folks, some files I nuked were referenced from
include/llvm/module.modulemap; I just deleted the references. Hopefully
that is the right fix (one was a FIXME though!).

Before this patch we had
@a = weak global ...
but
@b = alias weak ...
The patch changes aliases to look more like global variables.
Looking at some really old code suggests that the reason was that the old
bison based parser had a reduction for alias linkages and another one for
global variable linkages. Putting the alias first avoided the reduce/reduce
conflict.
The days of the old .ll parser are long gone. The new one parses just "linkage"
and a later check is responsible for deciding if a linkage is valid in a
given context.

This will allow the "-s" flag to implemented in the future as it
is in darwin’s nm(1) to list symbols only in the specified section.

This should allow llvm-ar to be used instead of gnu ar + plugin in a LTO
build. I will add a release note about it once I finish a LTO bootstrap with it.

YAMLIO would turn a BinaryRef into the string 0000000004000000.
However, the leading zero causes parsers to interpret it as being an
octal number instead of a hexadecimal one.
Instead, escape such strings as needed.

This fixes a regression introduced by r182908, which broke
llvm-objdump's ability to display relocations inline in a disassembly
dump for ELF object files.
That change removed a SectionRelocMap from Object/ELF.h, which we
recreate in llvm-objdump.cpp.
I discovered this regression via an out-of-tree test
(test/NaCl/X86/pnacl-hides-sandbox-x86-64.ll) which used llvm-objdump.
Note that the "Unknown" string in the test output on i386 isn't quite
right, but this appears to be a pre-existing bug.

- Instead of setting the suffixes in a bunch of places, just set one master
list in the top-level config. We now only modify the suffix list in a few
suites that have one particular unique suffix (.ml, .mc, .yaml, .td, .py).
- Aside from removing the need for a bunch of lit.local.cfg files, this enables
4 tests that were inadvertently being skipped (one in
Transforms/BranchFolding, a .s file each in DebugInfo/AArch64 and
CodeGen/PowerPC, and one in CodeGen/SI which is now failing and has been
XFAILED).
- This commit also fixes a bunch of config files to use config.root instead of
older copy-pasted code.

This reverts commit r184602. In an upcoming commit, I will just remove
the disassembler part of the test; it was mostly just a "nifty" thing
marking a milestone but it doesn't test anything that isn't tested
elsewhere.

from the LC_DATA_IN_CODE load command. And when disassembling print
the data in code formatted for the kind of data it and not disassemble those
bytes.
I added the format specific functionality to the derived class MachOObjectFile
since these tables only appears in Mach-O object files. This is my first
attempt to modify the libObject stuff so if folks have better suggestions
how to fit this in or suggestions on the implementation please let me know.

This is a basic first step towards symbolization of disassembled
instructions. This used to be done using externally provided (C API)
callbacks. This patch introduces:
- the MCSymbolizer class, that mimics the same functions that were used
in the X86 and ARM disassemblers to symbolize immediate operands and
to annotate loads based off PC (for things like c string literals).
- the MCExternalSymbolizer class, which implements the old C API.
- the MCRelocationInfo class, which provides a way for targets to
translate relocations (either object::RelocationRef, or disassembler
C API VariantKinds) to MCExprs.
- the MCObjectSymbolizer class, which does symbolization using what it
finds in an object::ObjectFile. This makes simple symbolization (with
no fancy relocation stuff) work for all object formats!
- x86-64 Mach-O and ELF MCRelocationInfos.
- A basic ARM Mach-O MCRelocationInfo, that provides just enough to
support the C API VariantKinds.
Most of what works in otool (the only user of the old symbolization API
that I know of) for x86-64 symbolic disassembly (-tvV) works, namely:
- symbol references: call _foo; jmp 15 <_foo+50>
- relocations: call _foo-_bar; call _foo-4
- __cf?string: leaq 193(%rip), %rax ## literal pool for "hello"
Stub support is the main missing part (because libObject doesn't know,
among other things, about mach-o indirect symbols).
As for the MCSymbolizer API, instead of relying on the disassemblers
to call the tryAdding* methods, maybe this could be done automagically
using InstrInfo? For instance, even though PC-relative LEAs are used
to get the address of string literals in a typical Mach-O file, a MOV
would be used in an ELF file. And right now, the explicit symbolization
only recognizes PC-relative LEAs. InstrInfo should have already have
most of what is needed to know what to symbolize, so this can
definitely be improved.
I'd also like to remove object::RelocationRef::getValueString (it seems
only used by relocation printing in objdump), as simply printing the
created MCExpr is definitely enough (and cleaner than string concats).
