CodeView, like most other debug formats, represents the live range of a
variable so that debuggers might print them out.
They use a variety of records to represent how a particular variable
might be available (in a register, in a frame pointer, etc.) along with
a set of ranges where this debug information is relevant.
However, the format only allows us to use ranges which are limited to a
maximum of 0xF000 in size. This means that we need to split our debug
information into chunks of 0xF000.
Because the layout of code is not known until *very* late, we must use a
new fragment to record the information we need until we can know
*exactly* what the range is.

Consolidate the code which handles string table offsets less than 999999
with the code for offsets less than 9999999. While we are here,
simplify the code by not using sprintf to generate the string.

LLVM_ENABLE_TIMESTAMPS controls if timestamps are embedded into llvm's
binaries. Turning it off is useful for deterministic builds.
r246905 made it so that the define suddenly also controls if the binaries that
the llvm binaries _create_ embed timestamps or not – but this shouldn't be a
configure-time option. r256203/r256204 added a driver option to toggle this on
and off, so this patch now passes this driver option in LLVM_ENABLE_TIMESTAMPS
builds so that if LLVM_ENABLE_TIMESTAMPS is set, the build of LLVM is
deterministic – but the built clang can still write timestamps into other
executables when requested.
This also allows removing some of the test machinery added in r292012 to work
around this problem.
See PR24740 for background.

Today, we always take into account the possibility that object files
produced by MC may be consumed by an incremental linker. This results
in us initialing fields which vary with time (TimeDateStamp) which harms
hermetic builds (e.g. verifying a self-host went well) and produces
sub-optimal code because we cannot assume anything about the relative
position of functions within a section (call sites can get redirected
through incremental linker thunks).
Let's provide an MCTargetOption which controls this behavior so that we
can disable this functionality if we know a-priori that the build will
not rely on /incremental.

Support for COFF timestamps was unintentionally broken in r246905 when
it was conditionally available depending on whether or not LLVM was
configured with LLVM_ENABLE_TIMESTAMPS. However, Config/config.h was
never included which essentially broke the feature. Due to lax testing,
the breakage was never identified until we observed strange failures
during incremental links of Chromium.
This issue is resolved by simply including Config/config.h in
WinCOFFObjectWriter and teaching lit that the MC/COFF/timestamp.s test
is conditionally supported depending on LLVM_ENABLE_TIMESTAMPS. With
this in place, we can strengthen the test to ensure that it will not
accidentally get broken in the future.
This fixes PR25891.

The COFF object writer was previously adding unnecessary symbols to its
temporary data structures and cleaning them up later. This made the code
harder to understand and caused a bug (aliases classed as temporary symbols
would cause an assertion failure). A much simpler way of handling such
symbols is to ask the layout for their section-relative position when needed.
Tested with a bootstrap on Windows and by building Chrome.

Starting on an input stream that is not at offset 0 would trigger the
assert in WinCOFFObjectWriter.cpp:1065:
assert(getStream().tell() <= (*i)->Header.PointerToRawData &&
"Section::PointerToRawData is insane!");

Currently, if the assembler encounters an error after parsing (such as an
out-of-range fixup), it reports this as a fatal error, and so stops after the
first error. However, for most of these there is an obvious way to recover
after emitting the error, such as emitting the fixup with a value of zero. This
means that we can report on all of the errors in a file, not just the first
one. MCContext::reportError records the fact that an error was encountered, so
we won't actually emit an object file with the incorrect contents.

In this mode it just tries to tail merge the strings without imposing any other
format constrains. It will not, for example, add a null byte between them.
Also add support for keeping a tentative size and offset if we decide to
not optimize after all.
This will be used shortly in lld for merging SHF_STRINGS sections.

Casting to unsigned long can cause the time to get truncated to 32-bits,
making it appear to be a valid timestamp. Just use isUInt<32> instead.
llvm-svn: 246840
The MS incremental linker seems to inspect the timestamp written into
the object file to determine whether or not it's contents need to be
considered. Failing to set the timestamp to a date newer than the
executable will result in the object file not participating in
subsequent links. To ameliorate this, write the current time into the
object file's TimeDateStamp field.

COFF sections are accompanied with an auxiliary symbol which includes a
checksum. This checksum used to be filled with just zero but this seems
to upset LINK.exe when it is processing a /INCREMENTAL link job.
Instead, fill the CheckSum field with the JamCRC of the section
contents. This matches MSVC's behavior.
This fixes PR19666.
N.B. A rather simple implementation of JamCRC is given. It implements
a byte-wise calculation using the method given by Sarwate. There are
implementations with higher throughput like slice-by-eight and making
use of PCLMULQDQ. We can switch to one of those techniques if it turns
out to be a significant use of time.

There are occasions where it is useful to consider the entirety of the
contents of a section. For example, compressed debug info needs the
entire section available before it can compress it and write it out.
The compressed debug info scenario was previously implemented by
mirroring the implementation of writeSectionData in the ELFObjectWriter.
Instead, allow the output stream to be swapped on demand. This lets
callers redirect the output stream to a more convenient location before
it hits the object file.
No functionality change is intended.

This intrinsic is like framerecover plus a load. It recovers the EH
registration stack allocation from the parent frame and loads the
exception information field out of it, giving back a pointer to an
EXCEPTION_POINTERS struct. It's designed for clang to use in SEH filter
expressions instead of accessing the EXCEPTION_POINTERS parameter that
is available on x64.
This required a minor change to MC to allow defining a label variable to
another absolute framerecover label variable.

There is no MCSectionData, so the old name is now meaningless.
Also remove some asserts/checks that were there just because the information
they used was in MCSectionData.

.safeseh adds an entry to the .sxdata section to register all the

Similar to r235222, but for the weak symbol case.
In an "ideal" assembler/object format an expression would always refer to the
final value and A-B would only be computed from a section in the same
comdat as A and B with A and B strong.
Unfortunately that is not the case with debug info on ELF, so we need an
heuristic. Since we need an heuristic, we may as well use the same one as
gas:
* call weak_sym : produces a relocation, even if in the same section.
* A - weak_sym and weak_sym -A: don't produce a relocation if we can
compute it.
This fixes pr23272 and changes the fix of pr22815 to match what gas does.
