During ELF writing, there is no need to further relax the sections, so we
should not be creating fragments. This patch avoids doing so in all cases
but debug section compression (that is next).
Also, the ELF format is fairly simple to write. We can do a single pass over
the sections to write them out and compute the section header table.
llvm-svn: 236235
Instead of accumulating the content in a fragment first, just write it
to the output stream.
Also put it first in the section table, so that we never have to worry
about its index being >= SHN_LORESERVE.
llvm-svn: 236145
We have to avoid converting a reference to a global into a reference to a local,
but it is fine to look past a local.

Similar to r235222, but for the weak symbol case.
In an "ideal" assembler/object format an expression would always refer to the
final value and A-B would only be computed from a section in the same
comdat as A and B with A and B strong.
Unfortunately that is not the case with debug info on ELF, so we need an
heuristic. Since we need an heuristic, we may as well use the same one as
gas:
* call weak_sym : produces a relocation, even if in the same section.
* A - weak_sym and weak_sym -A: don't produce a relocation if we can
compute it.
This fixes pr23272 and changes the fix of pr22815 to match what gas does.
llvm-svn: 235227
Part of pr23272.
A small annoyance with the assembly syntax we implement is that given an
expression there is no way to know if what is desired is the value of that
expression for the symbols in this file or for the final values of those
symbols in a link.
The first case is useful for use in sections that get discarded or ignored
if the section they are describing is discarded.
For axample, consider A-B where A and B are in the same comdat section.
We can compute the value of the difference in the section that is present in
the current .o and if that section survives to the final DSO the value will
still will be correct.
But the section is in a comdat. Another section from another object file
might be used istead. We know that that section will define A and B, but
we have no idea what the value of A-B might be.
In practice we have to assume that the intention is to compute the value
in the current section since otherwise the is no way to create something like
the debug aranges section.

Linkers normally read all the relocations upfront to compute the references
between sections. Putting them together is a bit more cache friendly.
I benchmarked linking a Release+Asserts clang with gold on a vm. I tried all
4 combinations of --gc-sections/no --gc-section hot and cold cache.
I cleared the cache with
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
and warmed it up by running the link once before timing the subsequent ones.
With cold cache and --gc-sections the time goes from
1.86130781665 +- 0.01713126697463843 seconds
to
1.82370735105 +- 0.014127522318814516 seconds

Now we don't have to do 2 synchronized passes to compute offsets and then
write the file.
This also includes a fix for the corner case of seeking in /dev/null. It
is not an error, but on some systems (Linux) the returned offset is
always 0. An error is signaled by returning -1. This is checked by
the existing tests now that "clang -o /dev/null ..." seeks.
llvm-svn: 234952
Some targets (ie. Mips) have additional rules for ordering the relocation
table entries. Allow them to override generic sortRelocs(), which sorts
entries by Offset.
Then override this function for Mips, to emit HI16 and GOT16 relocations
against the local symbol in pair with the corresponding LO16 relocation.

One could make the argument for writing it immediately after the ELF header,
but writing it in the middle of the sections like we were doing just makes
it harder for no reason.

Before when deciding if we needed a relocation in A-B, we wore only checking
if A was weak.
This fixes the asymmetry.
The "InSet" argument should probably be renamed to "ForValue", since InSet is
very MachO specific, but doing so in this patch would make it hard to read.
This fixes PR22815.
llvm-svn: 234165
These sections are never looked up and we know when have to create them. Use
that to save adding them to the regular map and avoid a symbol->string->symbol
conversion for the group symbol.
This also makes the implementation independent of the details of how unique
sections are implemented.
llvm-svn: 233539
The previous logic was to first try without relocations at all
and failing that stop on the first defined symbol.
That was inefficient and incorrect in the case part of the
expression could be simplified and another part could not
(see included test).
We now stop the evaluation when we get to a variable whose value
can change (i.e. is weak).
llvm-svn: 233187
In a subtraction of the form A - B, if B is weak, there is no way to represent
that on ELF since all relocations add the value of a symbol.
llvm-svn: 233139
The operand flag word for ISD::INLINEASM nodes now contains a 15-bit
memory constraint ID when the operand kind is Kind_Mem. This constraint
ID is a numeric equivalent to the constraint code string and is converted
with a target specific hook in TargetLowering.
This patch maps all memory constraints to InlineAsm::Constraint_m so there
is no functional change at this point. It just proves that using these
previously unused bits in the encoding of the flag word doesn't break
anything.
The next patch will make each target preserve the current mapping of
everything to Constraint_m for itself while changing the target independent
implementation of the hook to return Constraint_Unknown appropriately. Each
target will then be adapted in separate patches to use appropriate
Constraint_* values.
PR22883 was caused the matching operands copying the whole of the operand flags
for the matched operand. This included the constraint id which needed to be
replaced with the operand number. This has been fixed with a conversion
function. Following on from this, matching operands also used the operand
number as the constraint id. This has been fixed by looking up the matched
operand and taking it from there.

Any code creating an MCSectionELF knows ELF and already provides the flags.
SectionKind is an abstraction used by common code that uses a plain
MCSection.
Use the flags to compute the SectionKind. This removes a lot of
guessing and boilerplate from the MCSectionELF construction.

The ELF format is used on Windows by the MCJIT engine. Thus, on Windows, the
ELFObjectWriter can encounter symbols mangled using the MS Visual Studio C++
name mangling. Symbols mangled using the MSVC C++ name mangling can legally
have "@@@" as a substring. The EFLObjectWriter should not interpret the "@@@"
substring as specifying GNU-style symbol versioning. The ELFObjectWriter
therefore check for the MSVC C++ name mangling prefix which is either "?", "@?",
"imp_?" or "imp_?@".

The fixes are to note that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local
relocations can be used. In particular, ld64 requires that relocations to
cstring/cfstrings use linker visible symbols.
Original message:
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.

One is that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local relocations can
be used. We have to take those into consideration when deciding to put a L
symbol in the symbol table or not.
The other is that ld64 requires the relocations to cstring to use linker
visible symbols on AArch64.

The only difference from r219829 is using
getOrCreateSectionSymbol(*ELFSec)
instead of
GetOrCreateSymbol(ELFSec->getSectionName())
in ELFObjectWriter which causes us to use the correct section symbol even if
we have multiple sections with the same name.
Original messages:
r219829:
Correctly handle references to section symbols.
When processing assembly like
.long .text
we were creating a new undefined symbol .text. GAS on the other hand would
handle that as a reference to the .text section.
This patch implements that by creating the section symbols earlier so that
they are visible during asm parsing.
The patch also updates llvm-readobj to print the symbol number in the relocation
dump so that the test can differentiate between two sections with the same name.

As discussed in a previous checking to support the .localentry
directive on PowerPC, we need to inspect the actual target symbol
in needsRelocateWithSymbol to make the appropriate decision based
on that symbol's st_other bits.
Currently, needsRelocateWithSymbol does not get the target symbol.
However, it is directly available to its sole caller. This patch
therefore simply extends the needsRelocateWithSymbol by a new
parameter "const MCSymbolData &SD", passes in the target symbol,
and updates all derived implementations.
In particular, in the PowerPC implementation, this patch removes
the FIXME added by the previous checkin.

Now that we have a lib/MC/MCAnalysis, the dependency was there just because
of two helper classes. Move the two over to MC.
This will allow IRObjectFile to parse inline assembly.
llvm-svn: 212248
The fix itself is fairly simple: move getAccessVariant to MCValue so that we
replace the old weak expression evaluation with the far more general
EvaluateAsRelocatable.
This then requires that EvaluateAsRelocatable stop when it finds a non
trivial reference kind. And that in turn requires the ELF writer to look
harder for weak references.
Last but not least, this found a case where we were being bug by bug
compatible with gas and accepting an invalid input. I reported pr19647
to track it.

We already do this for shstrtab, so might as well do it for strtab. This
extracts the string table building code into a separate class. The idea
is to use it for other object formats too.
I mostly wanted to do this for the general principle, but it does save a
little bit on object file size. I tried this on a clang bootstrap and
saved 0.54% on the sum of object file sizes (1.14 MB out of 212 MB for
a release build).

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).
llvm-svn: 207522
When evaluating an assembly expression for a relocation, we want to
stop at MCSymbols that are in the symbol table, even if they are variables.
This is needed since the semantics may require that the relocation use them.
That is not the case when computing the value of a symbol in the symbol table.
There are no relocations in this case and we have to keep going until we hit
a section or find out that the expression doesn't have an assembly time
value.
llvm-svn: 207445
The symbol table itself has no relocations, so it is not possible to represent
things like
a = undefined + 1
With the patch we just omit these variables. That matches the behaviour of the
gnu assembler.
llvm-svn: 207419
When fixing the symbols in each compressed section we were iterating
over all symbols for each compressed section. In extreme cases this
could snowball severely (5min uncompressed -> 35min compressed) due to
iterating over all symbols for each compressed section (large numbers of
compressed sections can be generated by DWARF type units).
To address this, build a map of the symbols in each section ahead of
time, and access that map if a section is being compressed. This brings
compile time for the aforementioned example down to ~6 minutes.
llvm-svn: 207167
I discovered this const-hole while attempting to coalesnce the Symbol
and SymbolMap data structures. There's some pending issues with that,
but I figured this change was easy to flush early.
llvm-svn: 207124
Both ZLIB and the debug info compressed section header ("ZLIB" + the
size of the uncompressed data) take some constant overhead so in some
cases the compressed data is actually larger than the uncompressed data.
In these cases, just don't compress or rename the section at all.
llvm-svn: 206659
While unnamed relocations are already cached in side tables in
ELFObjectWriter::RecordRelocation, symbols still need their fragments
updated to refer to the newly compressed fragment (even if that fragment
isn't big enough to fit the offset). Even though we only create
temporary symbols in debug info sections this comes up in 32 bit builds
where even temporary symbols in mergeable sections (such as debug_str)
have to be emitted as named symbols.
I tried a few other ways to do this but they all didn't work for various
reasons:
1) Canonicalize the MCSymbolData in RecordRelocation, nulling out the
Fragment (so it didn't have to be updated by CompressDebugSection). This
doesn't work because some code relies on symbols having fragments to
indicate that they're defined, I think.
2) Canonicalize the MCSymbolData in RecordRelocation to be "first
fragment + absolute offset" so it would be cheaper to just test and
update the fragment in CompressDebugSections. This doesn't work because
the offset computed in RecordRelocation isn't that of the symbol's
fragment, it's the passed in fragment (I haven't figured out what that
fragment is - perhaps it's the location where the relocation is to be
written). And if the fragment offset has to be computed only for this
use we might as well just do it when we need to, in
CompressDebugSection.
I also added an assert to help catch this a bit more clearly, even
though it is UB. The test case improvements would either assert fail
and/or valgrind vail without the fix, even if they wouldn't necessarily
fail the FileCheck output.
llvm-svn: 206653
To support compressing the debug_line section that contains multiple
fragments (due, I believe, to variation in choices of line table
encoding depending on the size of instruction ranges in the actual
program code) we needed to support compressing multiple MCFragments in a
single pass.
This patch implements that behavior by mutating the post-relaxed and
relocated section to be the compressed form of its former self,
including renaming the section.
This is a more flexible (and less invasive, to a degree) implementation
that will allow for other features such as "use compression only if it's
smaller than the uncompressed data".
Compressing debug_frame would be a possible further extension to this
work, but I've left it for now. The hurdle there is alignment sections -
which might require going as far as to refactor
MCAssembler.cpp:writeFragment to handle writing to a byte buffer or an
MCObjectWriter (there's already a virtual call there, so it shouldn't
add substantial compile-time cost) which could in turn involve
refactoring MCAsmBackend::writeNopData to use that same abstraction...
which involves touching all the backends. This would remove the limited
handling of fragment writing seen in
ELFObjectWriter.cpp:getUncompressedData which would be nice - but it's
more invasive.
I did discover that I (perhaps obviously) don't need to handle
relocations when I rewrite the fragments - since the relocations have
already been applied and computed (and stored into
ELFObjectWriter::Relocations) by this stage (necessarily, because we
need to have written any immediate values or assembly-time relocations
into the data already before we compress it, which we have). The test
case doesn't necessarily cover that in detail - I can add more test
coverage if that's preferred.
llvm-svn: 205990
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.
llvm-svn: 205076
We need .symtab_shndxr if and only if a symbol references a section with an
index >= 0xff00.
The old code was trying to figure out if the section was needed ahead of time,
making it a fairly dependent on the code actually writing the table. It was
also somewhat conservative and would create the section in cases where it was
not needed.
If I remember correctly, the old structure was there so that the sections were
created in the same order gas creates them. That was valuable when MC's support
for ELF was new and we tested with elf-dump.py.
This patch refactors the symbol table creation to another class and makes it
obvious that .symtab_shndxr is really only created when we are about to output
a reference to a section index >= 0xff00.
While here, also improve the tests to use macros. One file is one section
short of needing .symtab_shndxr, the second one has just the right number.
llvm-svn: 204769
This is similar, but not identical to what gas does. The logic in MC is to just
compute the symbol table after parsing the entire file. GAS is mixed, given
.type b, @object
a = b
b:
.type b, @function
It will propagate the change and make 'a' a function. Given
.type b, @object
b:
a = b
.type b, @function
the type of 'a' is still object.
Since we do the computation in the end, we produce a function in both cases.
llvm-svn: 204555
Given
bar = foo + 4
.long bar
MC would eat the 4. GNU as includes it in the relocation. The rule seems to be
that a variable that defines a symbol is used in the relocation and one that
does not define a symbol is evaluated and the result included in the relocation.
Fixing this unfortunately required some other changes:
* Since the variable is now evaluated, it would prevent the ELF writer from
noticing the weakref marker the elf streamer uses. This patch then replaces
that with a VariantKind in MCSymbolRefExpr.
* Using VariantKind then requires us to look past other VariantKind to see
.weakref bar,foo
call bar@PLT
doing this also fixes
zed = foo +2
call zed@PLT
so that is a good thing.
* Looking past VariantKind means that the relocation selection has to use
the fixup instead of the target.
This is a reboot of the previous fixes for MC. I will watch the sanitizer
buildbot and wait for a build before adding back the previous fixes.

This performs the equivalent of a .set directive in that it creates a symbol
which is an alias for another symbol or value which may possibly be yet
undefined. This directive also has the added property in that it marks the
aliased symbol as being a thumb function entry point, in the same way that the
.thumb_func directive does.
The current implementation fails one test due to an unrelated issue. Functions
within .thumb sections are not marked as thumb_func. The result is that
the aliasee function is not valued correctly.

This is really a consistency fix. Since given
a = b
we propagate the information, we should propagate it too given
a = b + (1 - 1)
Fixes pr19145.

This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.

This is a nop. doesSectionRequireSymbols is only used from
isSymbolLinkerVisible. isSymbolLinkerVisible only use from ELF was in
if (!Asm.isSymbolLinkerVisible(Symbol) && !Symbol.isUndefined())
return false;
if (Symbol.isTemporary())
return false;
If the symbol is a temporary this code returns false and it is irrelevant if
we take the first if or not. If the symbol is not a temporary,
Asm.isSymbolLinkerVisible returns true without ever calling
doesSectionRequireSymbols.
This was an horrible leftover from when support for ELF was first added.

take type from the new symbol but merge them so that the type
is never "downgraded".
This is probably quite rare, except for IFUNC symbols which
we used to misassemble, losing the IFUNC type.
Fixes#18372.

ELF_Other_Weakref and ELF_Other_ThumbFunc seems to be LLVM
internal ELF symbol flags. These should not be emitted to
object file.
This commit defines ELF_STO_Shift for the target-defined
flags for st_other, and increase the value of
ELF_Other_Shift to 16.

This makes using array_pod_sort significantly safer. The implementation relies
on function pointer casting but that should be safe as we're dealing with void*
here.

Patch from Игорь Пашев (I do hope we support utf-8 commit messages; I
also hope he'll forgive me for transliterating it as Igor Pashev in
case things go horribly wrong).

Now that PowerPC no longer uses adjustFixupOffset, and no other
back-end (ever?) did, we can remove the infrastructure itself
(incidentally addressing a FIXME to that effect).

excluding visibility bits.
Generic STO handling at the Target level.
The st_other field of the ELF symbol table is one
byte in size. The first 2 bytes are used for generic
visibility and are currently handled by llvm.
The other six bits are processor specific and need
to be set at the target level.
A couple of notes:
The new static methods for accessing and setting the "other"
flags in include/llvm/MC/MCELF.h match the style guide
and not the other methods in the file. I don't like the
inconsistency, but feel I should follow the prescribed
lowerUpper() convention.
STO_ value definitions are not specified in gnu land as
consistently as the STT_ and STB_ fields. Probably because
the latter were defined in a standards doc and the former
defined partially in code. I have stuck with the full byte
definition of the flags.

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.

but I cannot reproduce the problem and have scrubed my sources and
even tested with llvm-lit -v --vg.
Support for Mips register information sections.
Mips ELF object files have a section that is dedicated
to register use info. Some of this information such as
the assumed Global Pointer value is used by the linker
in relocation resolution.
The register info file is .reginfo in o32 and .MIPS.options
in 64 and n32 abi files.
This patch contains the changes needed to create the sections,
but leaves the actual register accounting for a future patch.
