Modules and ModuleProviders. Because the "ModuleProvider" simply materializes
GlobalValues now, and doesn't provide modules, it's renamed to
"GVMaterializer". Code that used to need a ModuleProvider to materialize
Functions can now materialize the Functions directly. Functions no longer use a
magic linkage to record that they're materializable; they simply ask the
GVMaterializer.
Because the C ABI must never change, we can't remove LLVMModuleProviderRef or
the functions that refer to it. Instead, because Module now exposes the same
functionality ModuleProvider used to, we store a Module* in any
LLVMModuleProviderRef and translate in the wrapper methods. The bindings to
other languages still use the ModuleProvider concept. It would probably be
worth some time to update them to follow the C++ more closely, but I don't
intend to do it.

being destroyed. This allows users to run global optimizations like globaldce
even after some functions have been jitted.
This patch also removes the Function* parameter to
JITEventListener::NotifyFreeingMachineCode() since it can cause that to be
called when the Function is partially destroyed. This change will be even more
helpful later when I think we'll want to allow machine code to actually outlive
its Function.

feature, either build the JIT in debug mode to enable it by default or pass
-jit-emit-debug to lli.
Right now, the only debug information that this communicates to GDB is call
frame information, since it's already being generated to support exceptions in
the JIT. Eventually, when DWARF generation isn't tied so tightly to AsmPrinter,
it will be easy to push that information to GDB through this interface.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how the feature works:
- The JIT generates the machine code and DWARF call frame info
(.eh_frame/.debug_frame) for a function into memory.
- The JIT copies that info into an in-memory ELF file with a symbol for the
function.
- The JIT creates a code entry pointing to the ELF buffer and adds it to a
linked list hanging off of a global descriptor at a special symbol that GDB
knows about.
- The JIT calls a function marked noinline that GDB knows about and has put an
internal breakpoint in.
- GDB catches the breakpoint and reads the global descriptor to look for new
code.
- When sees there is new code, it reads the ELF from the inferior's memory and
adds it to itself as an object file.
- The JIT continues, and the next time we stop the program, we are able to
produce a proper backtrace.
Consider running the following program through the JIT:
#include <stdio.h>
void baz(short z) {
long w = z + 1;
printf("%d, %x\n", w, *((int*)NULL)); // SEGFAULT here
}
void bar(short y) {
int z = y + 1;
baz(z);
}
void foo(char x) {
short y = x + 1;
bar(y);
}
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
char x = 1;
foo(x);
}
Here is a backtrace before this patch:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

that has not been JIT'd yet, the callee is put on a list of pending functions
to JIT. The call is directed through a stub, which is updated with the address
of the function after it has been JIT'd. A new interface for allocating and
updating empty stubs is provided.
Add support for removing the ModuleProvider the JIT was created with, which
would otherwise invalidate the JIT's PassManager, which is initialized with the
ModuleProvider's Module.
Add support under a new ExecutionEngine flag for emitting the infomration
necessary to update Function and GlobalVariable stubs after JITing them, by
recording the address of the stub and the name of the GlobalValue. This allows
code to be copied from one address space to another, where libraries may live
at different virtual addresses, and have the stubs updated with their new
correct target addresses.

1. The "JITState" object creates a PassManager with the ModuleProvider that the
jit is created with. If the ModuleProvider is removed and deleted, the
PassManager is invalid.
2. The Global maps in the JIT were not invalidated with a ModuleProvider was
removed. This could lead to a case where the Module would be freed, and a
new Module with Globals at the same addresses could return invalid results.

This patch completes the changes for making lli thread-safe. Here's the list
of changes:
* The Support/ThreadSupport* files were removed and replaced with the
MutexGuard.h file since all ThreadSupport* declared was a Mutex Guard.
The implementation of MutexGuard.h is now based on sys::Mutex which hides
its implementation and makes it unnecessary to have the -NoSupport.h and
-PThreads.h versions of ThreadSupport.
* All places in ExecutionEngine that previously referred to "Mutex" now
refer to sys::Mutex
* All places in ExecutionEngine that previously referred to "MutexLocker"
now refer to MutexGuard (this is frivolous but I believe the technically
correct name for such a class is "Guard" not a "Locker").
These changes passed all of llvm-test. All we need now are some test cases
that actually use multiple threads.
