This patch adds BPF Debug Format (BTF) as a standalone
LLVM debuginfo. The BTF related sections are directly
generated from IR. The BTF debuginfo is generated
only when the compilation target is BPF.
What is BTF?
============
First, the BPF is a linux kernel virtual machine
and widely used for tracing, networking and security.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/filter.txthttps://cilium.readthedocs.io/en/v1.2/bpf/
BTF is the debug info format for BPF, introduced in the below
linux patch
69b693f0ae (diff-06fb1c8825f653d7e539058b72c83332)
in the patch set mentioned in the below lwn article.
https://lwn.net/Articles/752047/
The BTF format is specified in the above github commit.
In summary, its layout looks like
struct btf_header
type subsection (a list of types)
string subsection (a list of strings)
With such information, the kernel and the user space is able to
pretty print a particular bpf map key/value. One possible example below:
Withtout BTF:
key: [ 0x01, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00 ]
With BTF:
key: struct t { a : 1; b : 1; c : 0}
where struct is defined as
struct t { char a; char b; short c; };
How BTF is generated?
=====================
Currently, the BTF is generated through pahole.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/commit/?id=68645f7facc2eb69d0aeb2dd7d2f0cac0feb4d69
and available in pahole v1.12
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/commit/?id=4a21c5c8db0fcd2a279d067ecfb731596de822d4
Basically, the bpf program needs to be compiled with -g with
dwarf sections generated. The pahole is enhanced such that
a .BTF section can be generated based on dwarf. This format
of the .BTF section matches the format expected by
the kernel, so a bpf loader can just take the .BTF section
and load it into the kernel.
8a138aed4a
The .BTF section layout is also specified in this patch:
with file include/llvm/BinaryFormat/BTF.h.
What use cases this patch tries to address?
===========================================
Currently, only the bpf instruction stream is required to
pass to the kernel. The kernel verifies it, jits it if configured
to do so, attaches it to a particular kernel attachment point,
and later executes when a particular event happens.
This patch tries to expand BTF to support two more use cases below:
(1). BPF supports subroutine calls.
During performance analysis, it would be good to
differentiate which call is hot instead of just
providing a virtual address. This would require to
pass a unique identifier for each subroutine to
the kernel, the subroutine name is a natual choice.
(2). If a particular jitted instruction is hot, we want
user to know which source line this jitted instruction
belongs to. This would require the source information
is available to various profiling tools.
Note that in a single ELF file,
. there may be multiple loadable bpf programs,
. for a particular to-be-loaded bpf instruction stream,
its instructions may come from multiple PROGBITS sections,
the bpf loader needs to merge them together to a single
consecutive insn stream before loading to the kernel.
For example:
section .text: subroutines funcFoo
section _progA: calling funcFoo
section _progB: calling funcFoo
The bpf loader could construct two loadable bpf instruction
streams and load them into the kernel:
. _progA funcFoo
. _progB funcFoo
So per ELF section function offset and instruction offset
will need to be adjusted before passing to the kernel, and
the kernel essentially expect only one code section regardless
of how many in the ELF file.
What do we propose and Why?
===========================
To support the above two use cases, we propose to
add an additional section, .BTF.ext, to the ELF file
which is the input of the bpf loader. A different section
is preferred since loader may need to manipulate it before
loading part of its data to the kernel.
The .BTF.ext section has a similar header to the .BTF section
and it contains two subsections for func_info and line_info.
. the func_info maps the func insn byte offset to a func
type in the .BTF type subsection.
. the line_info maps the insn byte offset to a line info.
. both func_info and line_info subsections are organized
by ELF PROGBITS AX sections.
pahole is not a good place to implement .BTF.ext as
pahole is mostly for structure hole information and more
importantly, we want to pass the actual code to the kernel.
. bpf program typically is small so storage overhead
should be small.
. in bpf land, it is totally possible that
an application loads the bpf program into the
kernel and then that application quits, so
holding debug info by the user space application
is not practical as you may not even know who
loads this bpf program.
. having source codes directly kept by kernel
would ease deployment since the original source
code does not need ship on every hosts and
kernel-devel package does not need to be
deployed even if kernel headers are used.
LLVM is a good place to implement.
. The only reliable time to get the source code is
during compilation time. This will result in both more
accurate information and easier deployment as
stated in the above.
. Another consideration is for JIT. The project like bcc
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc)
use MCJIT to compile a C program into bpf insns and
load them to the kernel. The llvm generated BTF sections
will be readily available for such cases as well.
Design and implementation of emiting .BTF/.BTF.ext sections
===========================================================
The BTF debuginfo format is defined. Both .BTF and .BTF.ext
sections are generated directly from IR when both
"-target bpf" and "-g" are specified. Note that
dwarf sections are still generated as dwarf is used
by user space tools like llvm-objdump etc. for BPF target.
This patch also contains tests to verify generated
.BTF and .BTF.ext sections for all supported types, func_info
and line_info subsections. The patch is also tested
against linux kernel bpf sample tests and selftests.

- Adds the symbol name, such that we don't depend on the location
of this directive anymore.
- Actually constructs the signature in the assembler, and make the
assembler own it.
- Refactor the use of MVT vs ValType in the streamer and assembler
to require less conversions overall.
- Changed 700 or so tests to use it.

Summary:
This adds support for the 'event section' specified in the exception
handling proposal. (This was named 'exception section' first, but later
renamed to 'event section' to take possibilities of other kinds of
events into consideration. But currently we only store exception info in
this section.)
The event section is added between the global section and the export
section. This is for ease of validation per request of the V8 team.
This patch:
- Creates the event symbol type, which is a weak symbol
- Makes 'throw' instruction take the event symbol '__cpp_exception'
- Adds relocation support for events
- Adds WasmObjectWriter / WasmObjectFile (Reader) support
- Adds obj2yaml / yaml2obj support

Wasm EH mostly follows the structure of Itanium-style exception tables,
with one exception: a call site table entry in wasm EH corresponds to
not a call site but a landing pad.
In wasm EH, the VM is responsible for stack unwinding. After an
exception occurs and the stack is unwound, the control flow is
transferred to wasm 'catch' instruction by the VM, after which the
personality function is called from the compiler-generated code. (Refer
to WasmEHPrepare pass for more information on this part.)

- Changes wasm.landingpad.index intrinsic to take a token argument, to
make this 1:1 match with a catchpad instruction
- Stores landingpad index info and catch type info MachineFunction in

- Lowers wasm.lsda intrinsic to an MCSymbol pointing to the start of an
exception table
- Adds WasmException class with overridden methods for table generation

Summary:
This renames the IsParsingMSInlineAsm member variable of AsmLexer to
LexMasmIntegers and moves it up to MCAsmLexer. This is the only behavior
controlled by that variable. I added a public setter, so that it can be
set from outside or from the llvm-mc command line. We may need to
arrange things so that users can get this behavior from clang, but
that's future work.
I also put additional hex literal lexing functionality under this flag
to fix PR32973. It appears that this hex literal parsing wasn't intended
to be enabled in non-masm-style blocks.
Now, masm integers (0b1101 and 0ABCh) work in __asm blocks from clang,
but 0b label references work when using .intel_syntax in standalone .s
files.
However, 0b label references will *not* work from __asm blocks in clang.
They will work from GCC inline asm blocks, which it sounds like is
important for Crypto++ as mentioned in PR36144.
Essentially, we only lex masm literals for inline asm blobs that use
intel syntax. If the .intel_syntax directive is used inside a gnu-style
inline asm statement, masm literals will not be lexed, which is
compatible with gas and llvm-mc standalone .s assembly.
This fixes PR36144 and PR32973.

llvm-svn: 344376
BTF is the debug format for BPF, a kernel virtual machine
and widely used for tracing, networking and security, etc ([1]).
Currently only instruction streams are passed to kernel,
the kernel verifier verifies them before execution. In order to
provide better visibility of bpf programs to user space
tools, some debug information, e.g., function names and
debug line information are desirable for kernel so tools
can get such information with better annotation
for jited instructions for performance or other reasons.
The dwarf is too complicated in kernel and for BPF.
Hence, BTF is designed to be the debug format for BPF ([2]).
Right now, pahole supports BTF for types, which
are generated based on dwarf sections in the ELF file.
In order to annotate performance metrics for jited bpf insns,
it is necessary to pass debug line info to the kernel.
Furthermore, we want to pass the actual code to the
kernel because of the following reasons:
. bpf program typically is small so storage overhead
should be small.
. in bpf land, it is totally possible that
an application loads the bpf program into the
kernel and then that application quits, so
holding debug info by the user space application
is not practical.
. having source codes directly kept by kernel
would ease deployment since the original source
code does not need ship on every hosts and
kernel-devel package does not need to be
deployed even if kernel headers are used.
The only reliable time to get the source code is
during compilation time. This will result in both more
accurate information and easier deployment as
stated in the above.
Another consideration is for JIT. The project like bcc
use MCJIT to compile a C program into bpf insns and
load them to the kernel ([3]). The generated BTF sections
will be readily available for such cases as well.
This patch implemented generation of BTF info in llvm
compiler. The BTF related sections will be generated
when both -target bpf and -g are specified. Two sections
are generated:
.BTF contains all the type and string information, and
.BTF.ext contains the func_info and line_info.
The separation is related to how two sections are used
differently in bpf loader, e.g., linux libbpf ([4]).
The .BTF section can be loaded into the kernel directly
while .BTF.ext needs loader manipulation before loading
to the kernel. The format of the each section is roughly
defined in llvm:include/llvm/MC/MCBTFContext.h and
from the implementation in llvm:lib/MC/MCBTFContext.cpp.
A later example also shows the contents in each section.
The type and func_info are gathered during CodeGen/AsmPrinter
by traversing dwarf debug_info. The line_info is
gathered in MCObjectStreamer before writing to
the object file. After all the information is gathered,
the two sections are emitted in MCObjectStreamer::finishImpl.
With cmake CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug, the compiler can
dump out all the tables except insn offset, which
will be resolved later as relocation records.
The debug type "btf" is used for BTFContext dump.
Dwarf tests the debug info generation with
llvm-dwarfdump to decode the binary sections and
check whether the result is expected. Currently
we do not have such a tool yet. We will implement
btf dump functionality in bpftool ([5]) as the bpftool is
considered the recommended tool for bpf introspection.
The implementation for type and func_info is tested
with linux kernel test cases. The line_info is visually
checked with dump from linux kernel libbpf ([4]) and
checked with readelf dumping section raw data.
Note that the .BTF and .BTF.ext information will not
be emitted to assembly code and there is no assembler
support for BTF either.

state the is unusable by a debugger or unwinder
- To account for this a new directive, .cfi_negate_ra_state, is added
- This directive says the signed state of the LR register has now changed,
i.e. unsigned -> signed or signed -> unsigned
- This directive has the same CFA code as the SPARC directive GNU_window_save
(0x2d), adding a macro to account for multiply defined codes
- This patch matches the gcc implementation of this support:

DWARF5 spec says about single file split case:
"The sections that do not require relocation, however, can be written
to the relocatable object (.o) file but ignored by the
the linker or they can be written to a separate DWARF object (.dwo) file
that need not be accessed by the linker."
Nice way to make linker to ignore them is to set SHF_EXCLUDE flag.
It seems to be not harmful to always set it for .dwo sections.

This patch adds the ability for processor models to describe dependency breaking
instructions.
Different processors may specify a different set of dependency-breaking
instructions.
That means, we cannot assume that all processors of the same target would use
the same rules to classify dependency breaking instructions.
The main goal of this patch is to provide the means to describe dependency
breaking instructions directly via tablegen, and have the following
TargetSubtargetInfo hooks redefined in overrides by tabegen'd
XXXGenSubtargetInfo classes (here, XXX is a Target name).
```
virtual bool isZeroIdiom(const MachineInstr *MI, APInt &Mask) const {
return false;
}
virtual bool isDependencyBreaking(const MachineInstr *MI, APInt &Mask) const {
return isZeroIdiom(MI);
}
```
An instruction MI is a dependency-breaking instruction if a call to method
isDependencyBreaking(MI) on the STI (TargetSubtargetInfo object) evaluates to
true. Similarly, an instruction MI is a special case of zero-idiom dependency
breaking instruction if a call to STI.isZeroIdiom(MI) returns true.
The extra APInt is used for those targets that may want to select which machine
operands have their dependency broken (see comments in code).
Note that by default, subtargets don't know about the existence of
dependency-breaking. In the absence of external information, those method calls
would always return false.
A new tablegen class named STIPredicate has been added by this patch to let
processor models classify instructions that have properties in common. The idea
is that, a MCInstrPredicate definition can be used to "generate" an instruction
equivalence class, with the idea that instructions of a same class all have a
property in common.
STIPredicate definitions are essentially a collection of instruction equivalence
classes.
Also, different processor models can specify a different variant of the same
STIPredicate with different rules (i.e. predicates) to classify instructions.
Tablegen backends (in this particular case, the SubtargetEmitter) will be able
to process STIPredicate definitions, and automatically generate functions in
XXXGenSubtargetInfo.
This patch introduces two special kind of STIPredicate classes named
IsZeroIdiomFunction and IsDepBreakingFunction in tablegen. It also adds a
definition for those in the BtVer2 scheduling model only.
This patch supersedes the one committed at r338372 (phabricator review: D49310).
The main advantages are:
- We can describe subtarget predicates via tablegen using STIPredicates.
- We can describe zero-idioms / dep-breaking instructions directly via
tablegen in the scheduling models.
In future, the STIPredicates framework can be used for solving other problems.
Examples of future developments are:
- Teach how to identify optimizable register-register moves
- Teach how to identify slow LEA instructions (each subtarget defining its own
concept of "slow" LEA).
- Teach how to identify instructions that have undocumented false dependencies
on the output registers on some processors only.
It is also (in my opinion) an elegant way to expose knowledge to both external
tools like llvm-mca, and codegen passes.
For example, machine schedulers in LLVM could reuse that information when
internally constructing the data dependency graph for a code region.
This new design feature is also an "opt-in" feature. Processor models don't have
to use the new STIPredicates. It has all been designed to be as unintrusive as
possible.

I am experimenting with a single split dwarf (.dwo sections in .o files).
I want to make linker to ignore .dwo sections in .o, for that I am trying to add
SHF_EXCLUDE flag ("E") for them in my asm sample.
I found that currently, it is impossible to add any flag for debug sections using llvm-mc.
That happens because we have a set of predefined unique sections created early with default flags:

This patch allows a user to add any flags he wants.

Now that we create the label at the point of the directive, we don't
need to set the "current CV location", and then later when we emit the
next instruction, create a label for it and emit it.
DWARF still defers the labels used in .debug_loc until the next

Previously we followed the DWARF implementation, which waits until the
next instruction or data to emit the label to use in the .debug_loc
section. We might want to consider re-evaluating that design choice as
well, since it means the .loc skips alignment padding, for better or
worse.
This was the most minimal fix I could come up with, but we should be
able to do a lot of cleanups now that we don't need to save a pending CV

Aligning section contents is not required, but only

a neutral to negative effect on performance.
I measured the median run time of 100 links of Chromium's

When emitting the difference between two symbols, the standard behavior is
that the difference will be resolved to an absolute value if both of the
symbols are offsets from the same data fragment. This is undesirable on
architectures such as RISC-V where relaxation in the linker may cause the
computed difference to become invalid. This caused an issue when compiling to
object code, where the size of a function in the debug information was already
calculated even though it could change as a consequence of relaxation in the
subsequent linking stage.
This patch inhibits the resolution of symbol differences to absolute values

Summary:
The TType encoding, LSDA encoding, and personality encoding are all
passed explicitly by CodeGen to the assembler through .cfi_* directives,
so only the AsmPrinter needs to know about them.
The FDE CFI encoding however, controls the encoding of the label
implicitly created by the .cfi_startproc directive. That directive seems
to be special in that it doesn't take an encoding, so the assembler just
has to know how to encode one DSO-local label reference from .eh_frame
to .text.
As a result, it looks like MC will continue to have to know when the
large code model is in use. Perhaps we could invent a '.cfi_startproc
[large]' flag so that this knowledge doesn't need to pollute the
assembler.

This patch teaches llvm-mca how to identify dependency breaking instructions on
btver2.
An example of dependency breaking instructions is the zero-idiom XOR (example:
`XOR %eax, %eax`), which always generates zero regardless of the actual value of
the input register operands.
Dependency breaking instructions don't have to wait on their input register
operands before executing. This is because the computation is not dependent on
the inputs.
Not all dependency breaking idioms are also zero-latency instructions. For
example, `CMPEQ %xmm1, %xmm1` is independent on
the value of XMM1, and it generates a vector of all-ones.
That instruction is not eliminated at register renaming stage, and its opcode is
issued to a pipeline for execution. So, the latency is not zero.
This patch adds a new method named isDependencyBreaking() to the MCInstrAnalysis
interface. That method takes as input an instruction (i.e. MCInst) and a
MCSubtargetInfo.
The default implementation of isDependencyBreaking() conservatively returns
false for all instructions. Targets may override the default behavior for
specific CPUs, and return a value which better matches the subtarget behavior.
In future, we should teach to Tablegen how to automatically generate the body of
isDependencyBreaking from scheduling predicate definitions. This would allow us
to expose the knowledge about dependency breaking instructions to the machine
schedulers (and, potentially, other codegen passes).

Implement llvm::isPrint in StringExtras.h with a standard behavior and
replace all uses of ::isprint/std::isprint by a call it llvm::isPrint.
The function is inlined and does not look up language settings so it
should perform better than the standard library's version.
Such a replacement has already been done for isdigit, isalpha, isxdigit
in r314883. gtest does the same in gtest-printers.cc using the following
justification:
// Returns true if c is a printable ASCII character. We test the

GCC and the binutils COFF linker do comdats differently from MSVC.
If we want to be ABI compatible, we have to do what they do, which is to
emit unique section names like ".text$_Z3foov" instead of short section
names like ".text". Otherwise, the binutils linker gets confused and
reports multiple definition errors when two object files from GCC and
Clang containing the same inline function are linked together.
The best description of the issue is probably at

have a good one in our tracker.
I fixed up the .pdata and .xdata sections needed everywhere other than

On targets like Arm some relaxations may only be performed when certain
architectural features are available. As functions can be compiled with
differing levels of architectural support we must make a judgement on
whether we can relax based on the MCSubtargetInfo for the function. This
change passes through the MCSubtargetInfo for the function to
fixupNeedsRelaxation so that the decision on whether to relax can be made
per function. In this patch, only the ARM backend makes use of this
information. We must also pass the MCSubtargetInfo to applyFixup because
some fixups skip error checking on the assumption that relaxation has
occurred, to prevent code-generation errors applyFixup must see the same
MCSubtargetInfo as fixupNeedsRelaxation.

We may not have throughput info because it's not specified in the model
or it's not available with variant scheduling, so assume that those

Summary:
Allow extended parsing of variable assembler assignment syntax and modify X86 to permit
VAR = register assignment. As we emit these as .set directives when possible, we inline
such expressions in output assembly.

Object FIle Representation
At codegen time this is emitted into the ELF file a pair of symbol indices and a weight. In assembly it looks like:
.cg_profile a, b, 32
.cg_profile freq, a, 11
.cg_profile freq, b, 20
When writing an ELF file these are put into a SHT_LLVM_CALL_GRAPH_PROFILE (0x6fff4c02) section as (uint32_t, uint32_t, uint64_t) tuples as (from symbol index, to symbol index, weight).

This patch extends the MCSchedModel API with new methods that can be used to
obtain the latency and reciprocal througput information for an MCInst.
Scheduling models have recently gained the ability to resolve variant scheduling
classes associated with MCInst objects. Before, models were only able to resolve
a variant scheduling class from a MachineInstr object.
This patch is mainly required by D47374 to avoid regressing a pair of x86
specific -print-schedule tests for btver2. Patch D47374 introduces a new variant
class to teach the btver scheduling model (x86 target) how to correctly compute
the latency profile for some zero-idioms using the new scheduling predicates.
The new methods added by this patch would be mainly used by llc when flag
-print-schedule is specified. In particular, tests that contain inline assembly
require that code is parsed at code emission stage into a sequence of MCInst.
That forces the print-schedule functionality to query the latency/rthroughput
information for MCInst instructions too. If we don't expose this new API, then
we lose "-print-schedule" test coverage as soon as variant scheduling classes
are added to the x86 models.
The tablegen SubtargetEmitter changes teaches how to query latency profile
information using a object that derives from TargetSubtargetInfo. Note that this
should really have been part of r333286. To avoid code duplication, the logic
that "resolves" variant scheduling classes for MCInst, has been moved to a
common place in MC. That logic is used by the "resolveVariantSchedClass" methods
redefined in override by the tablegen'd GenSubtargetInfo classes.

For RISC-V it is desirable to have relaxation happen in the linker once
addresses are known, and as such the size between two instructions/byte
sequences in a section could change.
For most assembler expressions, this is fine, as the absolute address results
in the expression being converted to a fixup, and finally relocations.
However, for expressions such as .quad .L2-.L1, the assembler folds this down
to a constant once fragments are laid out, under the assumption that the
difference can no longer change, although in the case of linker relaxation the
differences can change at link time, so the constant is incorrect. One place
where this commonly appears is in debug information, where the size of a
function expression is in a form similar to the above.
This patch extends the assembler to allow an AsmBackend to declare that it
does not want the assembler to fold down this expression, and instead generate
a pair of relocations that allow the linker to carry out the calculation. In
this case, the expression is not folded, but when it comes to emitting a
fixup, the generic FK_Data_* fixups are converted into a pair, one for the
addition half, one for the subtraction, and this is passed to the relocation
generating methods as usual. I have named these FK_Data_Add_* and
FK_Data_Sub_* to indicate which half these are for.
For RISC-V, which supports this via e.g. the R_RISCV_ADD64, R_RISCV_SUB64 pair
of relocations, these are also set to always emit relocations relative to
local symbols rather than section offsets. This is to deal with the fact that
if relocations were calculated on e.g. .text+8 and .text+4, the result 12
would be stored rather than 4 as both addends are added in the linker.

For RISCV branch instructions, we need to preserve relocation types when linker
relaxation enabled, so then linker could modify offset when the branch offsets
changed.
We preserve relocation types by define shouldForceRelocation.
IsResolved return by evaluateFixup will always false when shouldForceRelocation
return true. It will make RISCV MC Branch Relaxation always relax 16-bit
branches to 32-bit form, even if the symbol actually could be resolved.
To avoid 16-bit branches always relax to 32-bit form when linker relaxation
enabled, we add a new parameter WasForced to indicate that the symbol actually
couldn't be resolved and not forced by shouldForceRelocation return true.
RISCVAsmBackend::fixupNeedsRelaxationAdvanced could relax branches with
unresolved symbols by (!IsResolved && !WasForced).
RISCV MC Branch Relaxation is needed because RISCV could perform 32-bit
to 16-bit transformation in MC layer.

The DEBUG() macro is very generic so it might clash with other projects.
The renaming was done as follows:
- git grep -l 'DEBUG' | xargs sed -i 's/\bDEBUG\s\?(/LLVM_DEBUG(/g'
- git diff -U0 master | ../clang/tools/clang-format/clang-format-diff.py -i -p1 -style LLVM
- Manual change to APInt
- Manually chage DOCS as regex doesn't match it.
In the transition period the DEBUG() macro is still present and aliased
to the LLVM_DEBUG() one.
