I've been comparing the object file output of LLVM's integrated
assembler against the external assembler on PowerPC, and one
area where differences still remain are in DWARF sections.
In particular, the GNU assembler generates .debug_frame and
.debug_line sections using a code alignment factor of 4, since
all PowerPC instructions have size 4 and must be aligned to a
multiple of 4. However, current MC code hard-codes a code
alignment factor of 1.
This patch changes this by adding a "minimum instruction alignment"
data element to MCAsmInfo and using this as code alignment factor.
This requires passing a MCContext into MCDwarfLineAddr::Encode
and MCDwarfLineAddr::EncodeAdvanceLoc. Note that one caller,
MCDwarfLineAddr::Write, didn't actually have that information
available. However, it turns out that this routine is in fact
never used in the whole code base, so the patch simply removes
it. If it turns out to be needed again at a later time, it
could be re-added with an updated interface.

I have some uncommitted changes to the cast code that catch this sort of thing
at compile-time but I still need to do some other cleanup before I can enable
it.

Currently, when a fragment is relaxed, its size is modified, but its
offset is not (it gets laid out as a side effect of checking whether
it needs relaxation), then all subsequent fragments are invalidated
because their offsets need to change. When bundling is enabled,
relaxed fragments need to get laid out again, because the increase in
size may push it over a bundle boundary. So instead of only
invalidating subsequent fragments, also invalidate the fragment that
gets relaxed, which causes it to get laid out again.
This patch also fixes some trailing whitespace and fixes the
bundling-related debug output of MCFragments.

and update ELF header e_flags.
Currently gathering information such as symbol,
section and data is done by collecting it in an
MCAssembler object. From MCAssembler and MCAsmLayout
objects ELFObjectWriter::WriteObject() forms and
streams out the ELF object file.
This patch just adds a few members to the MCAssember
class to store and access the e_flag settings. It
allows for runtime additions to the e_flag by
assembler directives. The standalone assembler can
get to MCAssembler from getParser().getStreamer().getAssembler().
This patch is the generic infrastructure and will be
followed by patches for ARM and Mips for their target
specific use.

into which we can emit single instructions without fixups (which is most
instructions). This is an optimization required because MCDataFragment
is prety large (240 bytes on x64), with no change in functionality.
For large programs, this reduces memory usage overhead required for bundling
by 40%.
To make the code as palatable as possible, the MCEncodedFragment interface was
further fragmented (no pun intended) and MCEncodedFragmentWithFixups is used
as the interface to work against when the user expects fixups. MCDataFragment
and MCRelaxableFragment implement this interface, while the new
MCCompactEncodedInstFragment implements MCEncodeFragment.

method because getContents().size() already covers it. So computeFragmentSize
can use the generic MCEncodedFragment interface when querying both Data and
Relaxable fragments for contents sizes.
No change in functionality

because that method is only getting called for MCInstFragment. These
fragments aren't even generated when RelaxAll is set, which is why the
flag reference here is superfluous. Removing it simplifies the code
with no harmful effects.
An assertion is added higher up to make sure this path is never
reached.

the assembler. This is useful in order to know how the numbers add up,
since in particular the Align fragments account for a non-trivial
portion of the emitted fragments (especially on -O0 which sets
relax-all).

SmallString. This makes it possible to use the length-erased SmallVectorImpl
in the interface without imposing buffer size. Thus, the size of MCInstFragment
is back down since a preallocated 8-byte contents buffer is enough.
It would be generally a good idea to rid all the fragments of SmallString as
contents, because a vector just makes more sense.
llvm-svn: 169644
This is more consistent with other vectors in this code. In addition, I ran some
tests compiling a large program and >96% of fragments have 4 or less fixups, so
SmallVector<4> is a good optimization.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

* wrap code blocks in \code ... \endcode;
* refer to parameter names in paragraphs correctly (\arg is not what most
people want -- it starts a new paragraph);
* use \param instead of \arg to document parameters in order to be consistent
with the rest of the codebase.

We on the linker to resolve calls to the appropriate BL/BLX instruction
to make interworking function correctly. It uses the symbol in the
relocation to do that, so we need to be careful about being too clever.
To enable this for ARM mode, split the BL/BLX fixup kind off from the
unconditional-branch fixups.

Whether a fixup needs relaxation for the associated instruction is a
target-specific function, as the FIXME indicated. Create a hook for that
and use it.
