In an assembly expression like
bar:
.long L0 + 1
the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0.
In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a
single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information.
For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the
end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next.
The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero
addend.
In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections.
This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was
inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented
without the symbol.
This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too.

Summary:
Currently an error is thrown if bundle alignment mode is set more than once
per module (either via the API or the .bundle_align_mode directive). This
change allows setting it multiple times as long as the alignment doesn't
change.
Also nested bundle_lock groups are currently not allowed. This change allows
them, with the effect that the group stays open until all nests are exited,
and if any of the bundle_lock directives has the align_to_end flag, the
group becomes align_to_end.
These changes make the bundle aligment simpler to use in the compiler, and
also better match the corresponding support in GNU as.

This patch centralizes the handling of the thumb bit around
MCStreamer::isThumbFunc and makes isThumbFunc handle aliases.
This fixes a corner case, but the main advantage is having just one
way to check if a MCSymbol is thumb or not. This should still be
refactored to be ARM only, but at least now it is just one predicate
that has to be refactored instead of 3 (isThumbFunc,
ELF_Other_ThumbFunc, and SF_ThumbFunc).

I started trying to fix a small issue, but this code has seen a small fix too
many.
The old code was fairly convoluted. Some of the issues it had:
* It failed to check if a symbol difference was in the some section when
converting a relocation to pcrel.
* It failed to check if the relocation was already pcrel.
* The pcrel value computation was wrong in some cases (relocation-pc.s)
* It was missing quiet a few cases where it should not convert symbol
relocations to section relocations, leaving the backends to patch it up.
* It would not propagate the fact that it had changed a relocation to pcrel,
requiring a quiet nasty work around in ARM.
* It was missing comments.

1) When creating a .debug_* section and instead create a .zdebug_
section.
2) When creating a fragment in a .zdebug_* section, make it a compressed
fragment.
3) When computing the size of a compressed section, compress the data
and use the size of the compressed data.
4) Emit the compressed bytes.
Also, check that only if a section has a compressed fragment, then that
is the only fragment in the section.
Assert-fail if the fragment's data is modified after it is compressed.

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.

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.

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. =]

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.

With this we don't need the EffectiveSize field anymore. Without that field
LayoutFragment only updates offsets and we don't need to invalidate the
current fragment when it is relaxed (only the ones following it).
This is also a very small improvement in the accuracy of the layout info as
we now use the after relaxation size immediately.

actuall addresses in a .o file, so it is better to let the MachO writer compute
it.
This is good for two reasons. First, areas that shouldn't care about
addresses now don't have access to it. Second, the layout of each section
is independent. I should use this in a subsequent commit to speed it up.
Most of the patch is just removing the section address computation. The two
interesting parts are the change on how we handle padding in the end
of sections and how MachO can get the address of a-b when a and b are in
different sections.
Since now the expression evaluation normally doesn't know the section address,
it will think that a-b needs relocation and let the MachO writer know. Once
it has computed the section addresses, it calls back the expression evaluation
with the section addresses to resolve these expressions.
The remaining problem is the handling of padding. Currently it will create
a special alignment fragment at the end. Since that fragment doesn't update
the alignment of the section, it needs the real address to be computed.
Since now the layout will not compute a-b with a and b in different sections,
the only effect that the special alignment fragment has is update the
address size of the section. This can also be done by the MachO writer.

Now that the ELF writer sees relocations with aliases, handle

This is really slow with we have 1000s of sections each with a corresponding

basic data, so there is no need to force a new layout pass.

and output the dwarf line number tables. This contains the code to emit and
encode the dwarf line tables from the previously gathered information in the
MCLineSection objects. This contains all the details to encode the line and
address deltas into the dwarf line table.
To do this an MCDwarfLineAddrFragment has been added.
Also this moves the interface code out of Mach-O streamer into
MCDwarf so it should be useable by other object file formats.
There is now one call to be made from an MCObjectStreamer
EmitInstruction() method:
MCLineEntry::Make(this, getCurrentSection());
to create a line entry after each instruction is assembled.
And one call call to be made from an MCObjectStreamer Finish() method:
MCDwarfFileTable::Emit(this, DwarfLineSection);
when getContext().hasDwarfFiles() is true and is passed a object file specific
MCSection where to emit the dwarf file and the line tables.
This appears to now be correct for 32-bit targets, at least x86. But the
relocation entries for 64-bit Darwin needs some further work which is next
up to work on. So for now the 64-bit Mach-O target does not output the
dwarf file and line tables.

The ELF implementation now creates text, data and bss to match the gnu as

The text streamer still has the old MachO specific behavior since

ELF files.
