This has two advantages:
1) We slowly move away from ErrorOr to the new handling interface,
in the hope of having an uniform error handling in LLVM, eventually.
2) We're starting to have *meaningful* error messages for invalid
object ELF files, rather than a generic "parse error". At some point
we should include also the offset to improve the quality of the
diagnostic.

Produce another specific error message for a malformed Mach-O file when a symbol’s
string index is past the end of the string table. The existing test case in test/Object/macho-invalid.test
for macho-invalid-symbol-name-past-eof now reports the error with the message indicating
that a symbol at a specific index has a bad sting index and that bad string index value.
Again converting interfaces to Expected<> from ErrorOr<> does involve
touching a number of places. Where the existing code reported the error with a
string message or an error code it was converted to do the same. There is some
code for this that could be factored into a routine but I would like to leave that for
the code owners post-commit to do as they want for handling an llvm::Error. An
example of how this could be done is shown in the diff in
lib/ExecutionEngine/RuntimeDyld/RuntimeDyldImpl.h which had a Check() routine
already for std::error_code so I added one like it for llvm::Error .
Also there some were bugs in the existing code that did not deal with the
old ErrorOr<> return values. So now with Expected<> since they must be
checked and the error handled, I added a TODO and a comment:
“// TODO: Actually report errors helpfully” and a call something like
consumeError(NameOrErr.takeError()) so the buggy code will not crash
since needed to deal with the Error.
Note there fixes needed to lld that goes along with this that I will commit right after this.
So expect lld not to built after this commit and before the next one.

With this we finally have an ELFFile that is O(1) to construct. This is helpful
for programs like lld which have to do their own section walk.

SHT_NOBITS sections do not have content in an object file. Now the yaml2obj
tool does not accept `Content` field for such sections, and the obj2yaml
tool does not attempt to read the section content from a file.
Restore r241350 and r241352.
llvm-svn: 241377
r241350 broke lld tests.
r241352 depends on r241350.

"[ELFYAML] Fix handling SHT_NOBITS sections by obj2yaml/yaml2obj tools"

This also improves the logic of what is an error:
* getSection(uint_32): only return an error if the index is out of bounds. The
index 0 corresponds to a perfectly valid entry.
* getSection(Elf_Sym): Returns null for symbols that normally don't have
sections and error for out of bound indexes.
In many places this just moves the report_fatal_error up the stack, but those
can then be fixed in smaller patches.

This moves the error checking for string tables to getStringTable which returns
an ErrorOr<StringRef>.
This improves error checking, makes it uniform across all string tables and
makes it possible to check them once instead of once per name.

It was a fairly broken concept for an ELF only class.
An ELF file can have two symbol tables, but they have exactly the same
format. There is no concept of a dynamic or a static symbol. Storing this
on the iterator also makes us do more work per symbol than necessary. To fetch
a name we would:
* Find if we had a static or a dynamic symbol.
* Look at the corresponding symbol table and find the string table section.
* Look at the string table section to fetch its contents.
* Compute the name as a substring of the string table.
All but the last step can be done per symbol table instead of per symbol. This
is a step in that direction.

make_error_code(object_error) is slow because object::object_category()
uses a ManagedStatic variable. But the real problem is that the function is
called too frequently. This patch uses std::error_code() instead of
object_error::success. In most cases, we return "success", so this patch
reduces number of function calls to that function.

The ELF symbol `st_other` field might contain additional flags besides
visibility ones. This patch implements support for some MIPS specific
flags.

Now that we have a lib/MC/MCAnalysis, the dependency was there just because
of two helper classes. Move the two over to MC.
This will allow IRObjectFile to parse inline assembly.

field represents ELF section header sh_info field and does not have any
sense for regular sections. Its interpretation depends on section type.
llvm-svn: 209801
Now the only method to configure ELF section's content and size is to assign
a hexadecimal string to the `Content` field. Unfortunately this way is
completely useless when you need to declare a really large section.
To solve this problem this patch adds one more optional field `Size`
to the `RawContentSection` structure. When yaml2obj generates an ELF file
it uses the following algorithm:
1. If both `Content` and `Size` fields are missed create an empty section.
2. If only `Content` field is missed take section length from the `Size`
field and fill the section by zero.
3. If only `Size` field is missed create a section using data from
the `Content` field.
4. If both `Content` and `Size` fields are provided validate that the `Size`
value is not less than size of `Content` data. Than take section length
from the `Size`, fill beginning of the section by `Content` and the rest
by zero.
Examples
--------
* Create a section 0x10000 bytes long filled by zero
Name: .data
Type: SHT_PROGBITS
Flags: [ SHF_ALLOC ]
Size: 0x10000
* Create a section 0x10000 bytes long starting from 'CA' 'FE' 'BA' 'BE'
Name: .data
Type: SHT_PROGBITS
Flags: [ SHF_ALLOC ]
Content: CAFEBABE
Size: 0x10000

The ELF header e_flags field in the MIPS related test cases handled
incorrectly. The obj2yaml prints too many flags. I will fix that in the
next patches.
