This is in the context of the automatic padding work for the jcc erratum mitigation. These are example cases we need to *not* pad for correctness. Exact mechanism to suppress is still TBD, but saving the tests which have come up.
WARNING: If you're looking at this patch because you're looking for a full
performace mitigation of the Intel JCC Erratum, this is not it!
This is a preliminary patch on the patch towards mitigating the performance
regressions caused by Intel's microcode update for Jump Conditional Code
Erratum. For context, see:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000055650.html
The patch adds the required assembler infrastructure and command line options
needed to exercise the logic for INTERNAL TESTING. These are NOT public flags,
and should not be used for anything other than LLVM's own testing/debugging
purposes. They are likely to change both in spelling and meaning.
WARNING: This patch is knowingly incorrect in some cornercases. We need, and
do not yet provide, a mechanism to selective enable/disable the padding.
Conversation on this will continue in parellel with work on extending this
infrastructure to support prefix padding.
The goal here is to have the assembler align specific instructions such that
they neither cross or end at a 32 byte boundary. The impacted instructions are:
a. Conditional jump.
b. Fused conditional jump.
c. Unconditional jump.
d. Indirect jump.
e. Ret.
f. Call.
The new options for llvm-mc are:
-x86-align-branch-boundary=NUM aligns branches within NUM byte boundary.
-x86-align-branch=TYPE[+TYPE...] specifies types of branches to align.
A new MCFragment type, MCBoundaryAlignFragment, is added, which may emit
NOP to align the fused/unfused branch.
alignBranchesBegin inserts MCBoundaryAlignFragment before instructions,
alignBranchesEnd marks the end of the branch to be aligned,
relaxBoundaryAlign grows or shrinks sizes of NOP to align the target branch.
Nop padding is disabled when the instruction may be rewritten by the linker,
such as TLS Call.
Process Note: I am landing a patch by skan as it has been LGTMed, and
continuing to iterate on the review is simply slowing us down at this point.

should address the previous bot failures. Both changes reviewed by pete.)
Summary:
This commit builds upon Derek Schuff's 2014 commit for attaching labels to
existing fragments ( Diff Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D5915 )
When temporary labels appear ahead of a fragment, MCObjectStreamer will
track the temporary label symbol in a "Pending Labels" list. Labels are
associated with fragments when a real fragment arrives; otherwise, an empty
data fragment will be created if the streamer's section changes or if the
stream finishes.
This commit moves the "Pending Labels" list into each MCStream, so that
this label-fragment matching process is resilient to section changes. If
the streamer emits a label in a new section, switches to another section to
do other work, then switches back to the first section and emits a
fragment, that initial label will be associated with this new fragment.
Labels will only receive empty data fragments in the case where no other
fragment exists for that section.
The downstream effects of this can be seen in Mach-O relocations. The
previous approach could produce local section relocations and external
symbol relocations for the same data in an object file, and this mix of
relocation types resulted in problems in the ld64 Mach-O linker. This
commit ensures relocations triggered by temporary labels are consistent.

Summary:
In rG643ac6c0420b, the syntax `ldraa x1, [x0]!` was added as an alias
for `ldraa x1, [x0, #0]!`. That syntax is less obvious in meaning, and
also will not be accepted by assemblers that haven't been updated yet.
So it would be better not to emit it as the preferred disassembly for
that instruction.
This change lowers the EmitPriority of the new alias so that the more
explicit syntax `[x0, #0]!` is preferred by the disassembler. The new
syntax is still accepted by the assembler.

The third parameter to Streamer.EmitSymbolValue() is "bool
IsSectionRelative = false".
For ELF, these debug sections are mapped to address zero, so a normal,
absolute address relocation works just fine, but COFF needs a section
relative relocation, and COFF is the only target where
needsDwarfSectionOffsetDirective() returns true. This matches how
EmitSymbolValue is called elsewhere in the same source file.

There are a couple of bugs with the sc, scs, ll, lld instructions expanding:
1. On R6 these instruction pack immediate offset into a 9-bit field. Now
if an immediate exceeds 9-bits assembler does not perform expansion and
just rejects such instruction.
2. On 64-bit non-PIC code if an operand is a symbol assembler generates
incorrect sequence of instructions. It uses R_MIPS_HI16 and R_MIPS_LO16
relocations and skips R_MIPS_HIGHEST and R_MIPS_HIGHER ones.
To solve these problems this patch:
- Introduces `mem_simm9_exp` to mark 9-bit memory immediate operands
which require expansion. Probably later all `mem_simm9` operands will be
able to migrate on `mem_simm9_exp` and we rename it to `mem_simm9`.
- Adds new `OPERAND_MEM_SIMM9` operand type and assigns it to the
`mem_simm9_exp`. That allows to know operand size in the `processInstruction`
method and decide whether we need to expand instruction.
- Adds `expandMem9Inst` method to expand instructions with 9-bit memory
immediate operand. This method just load immediate into a "base"
register used by origibal instruction:
sc $2, 256($sp) => addiu $1, $sp, 256
sc $2, 0($1)
- Fix `expandMem16Inst` to support a correct set of relocations for
symbol loading in case of 64-bit non-PIC code.
ll $12, symbol => lui $12, 0
R_MIPS_HIGHEST symbol
daddiu $12, $12, 0
R_MIPS_HIGHER symbol
dsll $12, $12, 16
daddiu $12, $12, 0
R_MIPS_HI16 symbol
dsll $12, $12, 16
ll $12, 0($12)
R_MIPS_LO16 symbol
- Fix `expandMem16Inst` to unify handling of 3 and 4 operands
instructions.
- Delete unused now `MipsTargetStreamer::emitSCWithSymOffset` method.
Task for next patches - implement expanding for other instructions use
`mem_simm9` operand and other `mem_simm##` operands.

DwarfExpression::addMachineReg() knows how to build a larger register
that isn't expressible in DWARF by combining multiple
subregisters. However, if the entire value fits into just one
subregister, it would still emit the other subregisters, leading to
all sorts of inconsistencies down the line.
This patch fixes that by moving an already existing(!) check whether
the subregister's offset is before the end of the value to the right
place.

In MCObjectStreamer, when there is no current fragment, initially
symbols are created in a "pending" state and assigned to a dummy
empty fragment.
Previously, they were not being assigned an offset, and thus
evaluateAbsolute would fail if trying to evaluate an expression 'a -
b', where both 'a' and 'b' were in this pending state.
Also slightly refactored the EmitLabel overload which takes an
MCFragment for clarity.

O32 ABI uses relocations in REL format. Relocation's addend is written
in place. R_MIPS_JALR relocation points to the `jalr` instruction which

The instruction definition has been retroactively expanded to
allow for an alias for '[xN, 0]!' as '[xN]!'.
That wouldn't make sense on LDR, but does for LDRA.
These relocations are specified by the ARM EHABI (section 6.3). As I understand
it, their purpose is to accommodate unwinder implementations that wish to
reduce code size by placing the implementations of the compact unwinding
decoders in a separate translation unit, and using extern weak symbols to
refer to them from the main unwinder implementation, so that they are only
linked when something in the binary needs them in order to unwind.
However, neither of the unwinders used on Android (libgcc, LLVM libunwind)
use this technique, and in fact emitting these relocations ends up being
counterproductive to code size because they cause a copy of the unwinder
to be statically linked into most binaries, regardless of whether it is
actually needed. Furthermore, these relocations create circular dependencies
(between libc and the unwinder) in cases where the unwinder is dynamically
linked and libc contains compact unwind info.
Therefore, deviate from the EHABI here and stop emitting these relocations
on Android.

Recommit r373168, which was reverted by r373242. This actually exposed a
boringssl bug which has been fixed for more than one month.
For the following two cases, we currently suppress the symbols. This
patch emits them (compatible with GNU as).
* `test2_a = undef`: if `undef` is otherwise unused.
* `.hidden hidden`: if `hidden` is unused. This is the main point of the
patch, because omitting the symbol would cause a linker semantic
difference.
It causes a behavior change that is not compatible with GNU as:
.weakref foo1, bar1
When neither foo1 nor bar1 is used, we now emit bar1, which is arguably
more consistent.
Another change is that we will emit .TOC. for .TOC.@tocbase . For this
directive, suppressing .TOC. can be seen as a size optimization, but we
choose to drop it for simplicity and consistency.
The macinfo support was broken for LTO situations, by terminating
macinfo lists only once - multiple macinfo contributions were correctly
labeled, but they all continued/flowed into later contributions until
only one terminator appeared at the end of the section.
Correctly terminate each contribution & fix the parsing to handle this
situation too. The parsing fix is also necessary for dumping linked
binaries - the previous code would stop at the end of the first
contribution - missing all later contributions in a linked binary.
It'd be nice to improve the dumping to print the offsets of each
contribution so it'd be easier to know which CU AT_macro_info refers to
which macinfo contribution.
The following testcase
function:
.Lpcrel_label1:
auipc a0, %pcrel_hi(other_function)
addi a1, a0, %pcrel_lo(.Lpcrel_label1)
.p2align 2 # Causes a new fragment to be emitted
.type other_function,@function
other_function:
ret
exposes an odd behaviour in which only the %pcrel_hi relocation is
evaluated but not the %pcrel_lo.

The reason seems to be that in RISCVAsmBackend::shouldForceRelocation we
only consider the fragment but in RISCVMCExpr::evaluatePCRelLo we
consider the section. This usually works but there are cases where the
section may still be the same but the fragment may be another one. In
that case we end forcing a %pcrel_lo relocation without any %pcrel_hi.
This patch makes RISCVAsmBackend::shouldForceRelocation use the section,
if any, to determine if the relocation must be forced or not.
