PDBs contain several serialized hash tables. In the microsoft-pdb
repo published to support LLVM implementing PDB support, the
provided initializes the bucket count for the TPI and IPI streams
to the maximum size. This occurs in tpi.cpp L33 and tpi.cpp L398.
In the LLVM code for generating PDBs, these streams are created with
minimum number of buckets. This difference makes LLVM generated
PDBs slower for when used for debugging.

We add an option to dump the entire global / public symbol record
stream. Previously we would dump globals or publics, but not both.
And when we did dump them, we would always dump them in the order
they were referenced by the corresponding hash streams, not in
the order they were serialized in. This patch adds a lower level
mode that just dumps the whole stream in serialization order.
Additionally, when dumping global-extras, we now dump the hash
bitmap as well as the record offset instead of dumping all zeros
for the offsets.

Part of the DBI stream is a list of variable length structures
describing each module that contributes to the final executable.
One member of this structure is a section contribution entry that
describes the first section contribution in the output file for
the given module.
We have been leaving this structure unpopulated until now, so with
this patch it is now filled out correctly.

The DBI stream contains a list of module descriptors. At the
beginning of each descriptor is a structure representing the first
section contribution in the output file for that module. LLD
currently doesn't fill out this structure at all, but link.exe
does. So as a precursor to emitting this data in LLD, we first
need a way to dump it so that it can be checked.
This patch adds support for the dumping, and verifies via a test
that LLD emits bogus information.

One place where this seems to matter is to make sure the .rsrc section comes
after .text. The Win32 UpdateResource() function can change the contents of
.rsrc. It will move the sections that come after, but if .text gets moved, the
entry point header will not get updated and the executable breaks. This was
found by a test in Chromium.

There are two FPMs in an MSF file, the idea being that for
incremental updates you can write to the alternate one and then
atomically swap them on commit. LLVM defaulted to using FPM1
on the first commit, but this differs from Microsoft's behavior
which is to default to using FPM2 on the first commit. To
eliminate some byte-level file differences, this patch changes
LLVM's default to also be FPM2.
Additionally, LLVM was trying to be "smart" about marking FPM
pages allocated. In addition to marking every page belonging
to the alternate FPM as unallocated, LLVM also marked pages at
the end of the main FPM which were not needed as unallocated.
In order to match the behavior of Microsoft-generated PDBs, we
now always mark every FPM block as allocated, regardless of
whether it is in the main FPM or the alt FPM, and regardless of
whether or not it describes blocks which are actually in the file.
This has the side benefit of simplifying our code.

When investigating bugs in PDB generation, the first step is
often to do the same link with link.exe and then compare PDBs.
But comparing PDBs is hard because two completely different byte
sequences can both be correct, so it hampers the investigation when
you also have to spend time figuring out not just which bytes are
different, but also if the difference is meaningful.
This patch fixes a couple of cases related to string table emission,
hash table emission, and the order in which we emit strings that
makes more of our bytes the same as the bytes generated by MS PDBs.

This adds support for dumping a summary of module symbols
and CodeView debug chunks. This option prints a table for
each module of all of the symbols that occurred in the module
and the number of times it occurred and total byte size. Then
at the end it prints the totals for the entire file.
Additionally, this patch adds the -jmc (just my code) option,
which suppresses modules which are from external libraries or
linker imports, so that you can focus only on the object files
and libraries that originate from your own source code.

Previously, our algorithm to compute a build id involved hashing the
executable and storing that as the GUID in the CV Debug Record chunk,
and setting the age to 1.
This breaks down in one very obvious case: a user adds some newlines to
a file, rebuilds, but changes nothing else. This causes new line
information and new file checksums to get written to the PDB, meaning
that the debug info is different, but the generated code would be the
same, so we would write the same build over again with an age of 1.
Anyone using a symbol cache would have a problem now, because the
debugger would open the executable, look at the age and guid, find a
matching PDB in the symbol cache and then load it. It would never copy
the new PDB to the symbol cache.
This patch implements the canonical Windows algorithm for updating
a build id, which is to check the existing executable first, and
re-use an existing GUID while bumping the age if it already
exists.

In the refactor to merge the publics and globals stream, a bug
was introduced that wrote the wrong value for one of the fields
of the PublicsStreamHeader. This caused debugging in WinDbg
to break.
We had no way of dumping any of these fields, so in addition to
fixing the bug I've added dumping support for them along with a
test that verifies the correct value is written.

Image section headers are stored in the DBI stream, but we

Summary:
PDB section contributions are supposed to use output section indices and
offsets, not input section indices and offsets.
This allows the debugger to look up the index of the module that it
should look up in the modules stream for symbol information. With this
change, windbg can now find line tables, but it still cannot print local
variables.

1) Don't write a /src/headerblock stream. This appears to be
written conditionally by MSVC, but it's not clear what the
condition is. For now, just remove it since we dont' know
what it is anyway and the particular pdb we've checked in
for the test doesn't have one.
2) Write a valid timestamp for the PDB file signature. This
leads to non-reproducible builds, but it matches the default
behavior of link, so it should be out default as well. If
we need reproducibility, we should add a separate command
line option for it that is off by default.
3) Write an empty FPO stream. MSVC seems to always write an
FPO stream. This change makes the stream directory match
up, although we still need to make the contents of the FPO
stream match.

A couple of things were different about our generated PDBs.
1) We were outputting the wrong Version on the PDB Stream.
The version we were setting was newer than what MSVC is setting.
It's not clear what the implications are, but we change LLD
to use PdbImplVC70, as MSVC does.
2) For the optional debug stream indices in the DBI Stream, we
were outputting 0 to mean "the stream is not present". MSVC
outputs uint16_t(-1), which is the "correct" way to specify
that a stream is not present. So we fix that as well.
3) We were setting the PDB Stream signature to 0. This is supposed
to be the result of calling time(nullptr). Although this leads
to non-deterministic builds, a better way to solve that is by
having a command line option explicitly for generating a
reproducible build, and have the default behavior of lld-link
match the default behavior of link.
To test this, I'm making use of the new and improved `pdb diff`
sub command. To make it suitable for writing tests against, I had
to modify the diff subcommand slightly to print less verbose output.
Previously it would always print | <column> | <value1> | <value2> |
which is quite verbose, and the values are fragile. All we really
want to know is "did we produce the same value as link?" So I added
command line options to print a single character representing the
result status (different, identical, equivalent), and another to
hide the value display. Note that just inspecting the diff output
used to write the test, you can see some things that are obviously
wrong. That is just reflective of the fact that this is the state
of affairs today, not that we're asserting that this is "correct".
We can use this as a starting point to discover differences, fix
them, and update the test.

Now you run llvm-pdbutil dump <options>. This is a followup
after having renamed the tool, whereas before raw was obviously
just the style of dumping, whereas now "dump" is the action to
perform with the "util".
llvm-svn: 306055
Summary:
This is a first step towards getting line info to show up in VS and
windbg. So far, only llvm-pdbutil can parse the PDBs that we produce.
cvdump doesn't like something about our file checksum tables. I'll have
to dig into that next.
This patch adds a new DebugSubsectionRecordBuilder which takes bytes
directly from some other producer, such as a linker, and sticks it into
the PDB. Line tables only need to be relocated. No data needs to be
rewritten.
File checksums and string tables, on the other hand, need to be re-done.

After some internal discussions, we agreed that the raw output style had
outlived its usefulness. It was originally created before we had even
thought of dumping to YAML, and it was intended to give us some insight
into the internals of a PDB file. Now we have YAML mode which does
almost exactly this but is more powerful in that it can round-trip back
to a PDB, which the raw mode could not do. So the raw mode had become
purely a maintenance burden.
One option was to just delete it. However, its original goal was to be
as readable as possible while staying close to the "metal" - i.e.
presenting the output in a way that maps directly to the underlying file
format. We don't actually need that last requirement anymore since it's
covered by the yaml mode, so we could repurpose "raw" mode to actually
just be as readable as possible.
This patch implements about 80% of the functionality previously in raw
mode, but in a completely different style that is more akin to what
cvdump outputs. Records are very compressed, often times appearing on
just one line. One nice thing about this is that it makes full record
matching easier, because you can grep for indices, names, and leaf types
on a single line often.
See the tests for some examples of what the new output looks like.
Note that this patch actually regresses the functionality of raw mode in
a few areas, but only because the patch was already unreasonably large
and going 100% would have been even worse. Specifically, this patch is
missing:
The ability to dump module debug subsections (checksums, lines, etc)
The ability to dump section headers
Aside from that everything is here. While goign through the tests fixing
them all up, I found many duplicate tests. They've been deleted. In
subsequent patches I will go through and re-add the missing
functionality.

The last fix required the user to manually add the required

This lets PDB readers lookup type record data by type index in O(log n)
time. It also enables makes `cvdump -t` work on PDBs produced by LLD.
cvdump will not dump a PDB that doesn't have an index-to-offset table.
The table is sorted by type index, and has an entry every 8KB. Looking
up a type record by index is a binary search of this table, followed by
a scan of at most 8KB.

This patch is to merge type info in multiple .debug$T sections.
One mystery that needs to be solved is that it is not clear how
the MSVC linker uses TPI and IPI streams. Both streams contain
type info, and it is not obvious what kind of record should go
which.
dumppdb command in microsoft-pdb repository prints out IPI stream
contents as "IDs" and TPI stream as "TYPES", but looks like the tool
don't really care about which stream type recrods were read from.
For now, in this patch, I emit all type records to TPI stream.
It might just work with other tools. If not, we need to investigate
it more.
