Summary:
This change implements the profile loading functionality in LLVM to
support XRay's profiling mode in compiler-rt.
We introduce a type named `llvm::xray::Profile` which allows building a
profile representation. We can load an XRay profile from a file to build
Profile instances, or do it manually through the Profile type's API.
The intent is to get the `llvm-xray` tool to generate `Profile`
instances and use that as the common abstraction through which all
conversion and analysis can be done. In the future we can generate
`Profile` instances from `Trace` instances as well, through conversion
functions.
Some of the key operations supported by the `Profile` API are:
- Path interning (`Profile::internPath(...)`) which returns a unique path
identifier.
- Block appending (`Profile::addBlock(...)`) to add thread-associated
profile information.
- Path ID to Path lookup (`Profile::expandPath(...)`) to look up a
PathID and return the original interned path.
- Block iteration.
A 'Path' in this context represents the function call stack in
leaf-to-root order. This is represented as a path in an internally
managed prefix tree in the `Profile` instance. Having a handle (PathID)
to identify the unique Paths we encounter for a particular Profile
allows us to reduce the amount of memory required to associate profile
data to a particular Path.
This is the first of a series of patches to migrate the `llvm-stacks`
tool towards using a single profile representation.
Depends on D48653.

Summary:
Before this change, the FDR mode implementation relied on at thread-exit
handling to return buffers back to the (global) buffer queue. This
introduces issues with the initialisation of the thread_local objects
which, even through the use of pthread_setspecific(...) may eventually
call into an allocation function. Similar to previous changes in this
line, we're finding that there is a huge potential for deadlocks when
initialising these thread-locals when the memory allocation
implementation is also xray-instrumented.
In this change, we limit the call to pthread_setspecific(...) to provide
a non-null value to associate to the key created with
pthread_key_create(...). While this doesn't completely eliminate the
potential for the deadlock(s), it does allow us to still clean up at
thread exit when we need to. The change is that we don't need to do more
work when starting and ending a thread's lifetime. We also have a test
to make sure that we actually can safely recycle the buffers in case we
end up re-using the buffer(s) available from the queue on multiple
thread entry/exits.
This change cuts across both LLVM and compiler-rt to allow us to update
both the XRay runtime implementation as well as the library support for
loading these new versions of the FDR mode logging. Version 2 of the FDR
logging implementation makes the following changes:
* Introduction of a new 'BufferExtents' metadata record that's outside
of the buffer's contents but are written before the actual buffer.
This data is associated to the Buffer handed out by the BufferQueue
rather than a record that occupies bytes in the actual buffer.
* Removal of the "end of buffer" records. This is in-line with the
changes we described above, to allow for optimistic logging without
explicit record writing at thread exit.
The optimistic logging model operates under the following assumptions:
* Threads writing to the buffers will potentially race with the thread
attempting to flush the log. To avoid this situation from occuring,
we make sure that when we've finalized the logging implementation,
that threads will see this finalization state on the next write, and
either choose to not write records the thread would have written or
write the record(s) in two phases -- first write the record(s), then
update the extents metadata.
* We change the buffer queue implementation so that once it's handed
out a buffer to a thread, that we assume that buffer is marked
"used" to be able to capture partial writes. None of this will be
safe to handle if threads are racing to write the extents records
and the reader thread is attempting to flush the log. The optimism
comes from the finalization routine being required to complete
before we attempt to flush the log.
This is a fairly significant semantics change for the FDR
implementation. This is why we've decided to update the version number
for FDR mode logs. The tools, however, still need to be able to support
older versions of the log until we finally deprecate those earlier
versions.

Summary:
The arg1 logging handler changed in compiler-rt to start writing a
different type for entries encountered when logging the first argument
of XRay-instrumented functions. This change allows the trace loader to
support reading these record types as well as prepare for when the
basic (naive) mode implementation starts writing down the argument
payloads.
Without this change, binaries with arg1 logging support enabled start
writing unreadable logs for any of the XRay tracing tools.

Summary:
A new FDR metadata record will support logging a function call argument;
appending multiple metadata records will represent a sequence of arguments
meaning that "holes" are not representable by the buffer format. Each
call argument is currently a 64-bit value (useful for "this" pointers and
synchronization objects).
If present, we put this argument to the function call "entry" record it
belongs to, and alter its type to notify the user of its presence.

and manually CSE long expressions to point out it is the same expression.

which is a bit harder to force in a simple prebuilt input).

I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.
I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.
This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.
Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

Summary:
In D30630 we will start writing custom event records. To avoid breaking
the tools that read the FDR mode records, we skip over these records.
To support these custom event records more effectively, we will have to
expose them in the trace loading API. Those changes will be forthcoming.

Summary:
It is problematic for this reader that it expects to read data from
several threads, but the header or message format does not define
framing. Since the buffers are reused, we can't rely on skipping
zeroed out data as a synchronization method either.
There is an argument that this is not version compatible with the format
the reader expected previously. I argue that since the writer wrote garbage
past the end of buffer record, there is no currently working reader to
compromise.
The corresponding writer change is posted to D31384.

Summary:
This change implements the instrumentation map loading library which can
understand both YAML-defined instrumentation maps, and ELF 64-bit object
files that have the XRay instrumentation map section. We break it out
into a library on its own to allow for other applications to deal with
the XRay instrumentation map defined in XRay-instrumented binaries.
This type provides both raw access to the logical representation of the
instrumentation map entries as well as higher level functions for
converting a function ID into a function address.
At this point we only support ELF64 binaries and YAML-defined XRay
instrumentation maps. Future changes should extend this to support
32-bit ELF binaries, as well as other binary formats (like MachO).
As part of this change we also migrate all uses of the extraction logic
that used to be defined in tools/llvm-xray/ to use this new type and
interface for loading from files. We also remove the flag from the
`llvm-xray` tool that required users to specify the type of the
instrumentation map file being provided to instead make the library
auto-detect the file type.

Summary:
In this change we move the definition of the log reading routines from
the tools directory in LLVM to {include/llvm,lib}/XRay. We improve the
documentation a little bit for the publicly accessible headers, and
adjust the top-matter. This also leads to some refactoring and cleanup
in the tooling code.
In particular, we do the following:
- Rename the class from LogReader to Trace, as it better represents
the logical set of records as opposed to a log.
- Use file type detection instead of asking the user to say what
format the input file is. This allows us to keep the interface
simple and encapsulate the logic of loading the data appropriately.
In future changes we increase the API surface and write dedicated unit
tests for the XRay library.
Depends on D24376.
