Front-ends could use global unnamed_addr to hold pointers to other
symbols, like @gotequivalent below:
@foo = global i32 42
@gotequivalent = private unnamed_addr constant i32* @foo
@delta = global i32 trunc (i64 sub (i64 ptrtoint (i32** @gotequivalent to i64),
i64 ptrtoint (i32* @delta to i64))
to i32)
The global @delta holds a data "PC"-relative offset to @gotequivalent,
an unnamed pointer to @foo. The darwin/x86-64 assembly output for this follows:
.globl _foo
_foo:
.long 42
.globl _gotequivalent
_gotequivalent:
.quad _foo
.globl _delta
_delta:
.long _gotequivalent-_delta
Since unnamed_addr indicates that the address is not significant, only
the content, we can optimize the case above by replacing pc-relative
accesses to "GOT equivalent" globals, by a PC relative access to the GOT
entry of the final symbol instead. Therefore, "delta" can contain a pc
relative relocation to foo's GOT entry and we avoid the emission of
"gotequivalent", yielding the assembly code below:
.globl _foo
_foo:
.long 42
.globl _delta
_delta:
.long _foo@GOTPCREL+4
There are a couple of advantages of doing this: (1) Front-ends that need
to emit a great deal of data to store pointers to external symbols could
save space by not emitting such "got equivalent" globals and (2) IR
constructs combined with this opt opens a way to represent GOT pcrel
relocations by using the LLVM IR, which is something we previously had
no way to express.

being around.

AsmPrinter.
getSubtargetInfo now asserts that the MachineFunction exists.
Debug printing of register naming now uses the register info
from MCAsmInfo as that's unchanging.

and it'll be changing to TargetInstrInfo (which is MachineFunction
based) in the next commit here.

asm support in the asm printer. If we can get a subtarget from
the machine function then we should do so, otherwise we can
go ahead and create a default one since we're at the module
level.

The problem in the original patch was not switching back to .text after printing
an eh table.
Original message:
On ELF, put PIC jump tables in a non executable section.
Fixes PR22558.

Previously `DwarfExpression::AddExpression()` relied on
default-constructing the end iterators for `DIExpression` -- once the
operands are represented explicitly via `MDExpression` (instead of via
the strange `StringRef` navigator in `DIHeaderIterator`) this won't
work. Explicitly take an iterator for the end of the range.

initialization. Initialize the subtarget once per function and
migrate Emit{Start|End}OfAsmFile to either use attributes on the
TargetMachine or get information from the subtarget we'd use
for assembling. One bit (getISAEncoding) touched the general
AsmPrinter and the debug output. Handle this one by passing
the function for the subprogram down and updating all callers
and users.
The top-level-ness of the ARM attribute output for assembly is,
by nature, contrary to how we'd want to do this for an LTO
situation where we have multiple cpu architectures so this
solution is good enough for now.

While looking at a heap profile of a clang LTO bootstrap with -g, I
noticed that 2.2% of memory in an `llvm-lto` of clang is from calling
`DebugLoc::get()` in `collectVariableInfo()` (accounting for ~40% of
memory used for `MDLocation`s).
I suspect this was introduced by r226736, whose goal was to prevent
uniquing of `DebugLoc`s (goal achieved, if so).
There's no reason we need a `DebugLoc` here at all -- it was just being
used for (in)convenient API -- so the fix is to pass the scope and
inlined-at directly to `LexicalScopes::findInlinedScope()`.

- allows for pieces < 1 byte

Remove handling for DW_TAG_constant. We started producing it in

described by integer constants. This is a bit ugly, but if the source
language allows arbitrary type casting, the debug info must follow suit.
For example:
void foo() {
float a;
*(int *)&a = 0;
}
For the curious: SROA replaces the float alloca with an i32 alloca, which
is then optimized away and described via dbg.value(i32 0, ...).

Any code creating an MCSectionELF knows ELF and already provides the flags.
SectionKind is an abstraction used by common code that uses a plain
MCSection.
Use the flags to compute the SectionKind. This removes a lot of
guessing and boilerplate from the MCSectionELF construction.

derived classes.
Since global data alignment, layout, and mangling is often based on the
DataLayout, move it to the TargetMachine. This ensures that global
data is going to be layed out and mangled consistently if the subtarget
changes on a per function basis. Prior to this all targets(*) have
had subtarget dependent code moved out and onto the TargetMachine.
*One target hasn't been migrated as part of this change: R600. The
R600 port has, as a subtarget feature, the size of pointers and
this affects global data layout. I've currently hacked in a FIXME
to enable progress, but the port needs to be updated to either pass
the 64-bitness to the TargetMachine, or fix the DataLayout to
avoid subtarget dependent features.

physical register that is described in a DBG_VALUE.
In the testcase the DBG_VALUE describing "p5" becomes unavailable
because the register its address is in is clobbered and we (currently)
aren't smart enough to realize that the value is rematerialized immediately
after the DBG_VALUE and/or is actually a stack slot.

This mostly reverts commit r222062 and replaces it with a new enum. At
some point this enum will grow at least for other MSVC EH personalities.
Also beefs up the way we were sniffing the personality function.
Previously we would emit the Itanium LSDA despite using
__C_specific_handler.

frontends to use a DIExpression with a DW_OP_deref instead.
This is not only a much more natural place for this informationl; there
is also a technical reason: The FlagIndirectVariable is used to mark a
variable that is turned into a reference by virtue of the calling
convention; this happens for example to aggregate return values.
The inliner, for example, may actually need to undo this indirection to
correctly represent the value in its new context. This is impossible to
implement because the DIVariable can't be safely modified. We can however
safely construct a new DIExpression on the fly.
