On ELF every section can have a corresponding section symbol. When in
an assembly file we have
.quad .text
the '.text' refers to that symbol.
The way we used to handle them is to leave .text an undefined symbol
until the very end when the object writer would map them to the
actual section symbol.
The problem with that is that anything before the end would see an
undefined symbol. This could result in bad diagnostics
(test/MC/AArch64/label-arithmetic-diags-elf.s), or incorrect results
when using the asm streamer (est/MC/Mips/expansion-jal-sym-pic.s).
Fixing this will also allow using the section symbol earlier for
setting sh_link of SHF_METADATA sections.
This patch includes a few hacks to avoid changing our behaviour when
handling conflicts between section symbols and other symbols. I
reported pr31850 to track that.

This implements execute-only support for ARM code generation, which
prevents the compiler from generating data accesses to code sections.
The following changes are involved:
* Add the CodeGen option "-arm-execute-only" to the ARM code generator.
* Add the clang flag "-mexecute-only" as well as the GCC-compatible
alias "-mpure-code" to enable this option.
* When enabled, literal pools are replaced with MOVW/MOVT instructions,
with VMOV used in addition for floating-point literals. As the MOVT
instruction is required, execute-only support is only available in
Thumb mode for targets supporting ARMv8-M baseline or Thumb2.
* Jump tables are placed in data sections when in execute-only mode.
* The execute-only text section is assigned section ID 0, and is
marked as unreadable with the SHF_ARM_PURECODE flag with symbol 'y'.
This also overrides selection of ELF sections for globals.

MCContext already has many tasks, and separating CodeView out from it is
probably a good idea. The .cv_loc tracking was modelled on the DWARF
tracking which lived directly in MCContext.
Removes the inclusion of MCCodeView.h from MCContext.h, so now there are
only 10 build actions while I hack on CodeView support instead of 265.

Group" sections while lowering. In particular, for ELF sections this is
useful for creating function-specific groups that get merged into the
same named section.
Also use const Twine& instead of StringRef for the getELF functions
while we're here.

Now, after landing r270560, r270557, r270320 it is a proper time.
Original commit message:
[llvm-mc] - Teach llvm-mc to generate compressed debug sections in zlib style.
Before this patch llvm-mc generated zlib-gnu styled sections.
That means no SHF_COMPRESSED flag was set, magic 'zlib' signature
was used in combination with full size field. Sections were renamed to "*.z*".
This patch reimplements the compression style to zlib one as zlib-gnu looks
to be depricated everywhere.

Summary:
This adds a unique ID to the COFF section uniquing map, similar to the
one we have for ELF. The unique id is not currently exposed via the
assembler because we don't have a use case for it yet. Users generally
create .pdata with the .seh_* family of directives, and the assembler
internally needs to produce .pdata and .xdata sections corresponding to
the code section.
The association between .text sections and the assembler-created .xdata
and .pdata sections is maintained as an ID field of MCSectionCOFF. The
CFI-related sections are created with the given unique ID, so if more
code is added to the same text section, we can find and reuse the CFI
sections that were already created.

This is a fix for PR26941.
When there is both a section and a global definition with the same
name, the global wins.
Section symbols are not added to the symbol table; section references
are left undefined and fixed up in the object writer unless they've
been satisfied by some other definition.

MCContext shouldn't be accessing the filesystem - that's a gross
layering violation and makes it awkward to use as a library or in a
daemon where it may not even be allowed filesystem access.
The CWD lookup here is normally redundant anyway, since the calling
context either also looks up the CWD or sets this to something more
specific. Here, we fix up the one caller that doesn't already set up a
debug compilation dir and make it clear that the responsibility for
such set up is in the users of MCContext.

This reverts commit r259117.
The LineInfo constructor is defined in the codeview library and we have
to link against it now. Doing that isn't trivial, so reverting for now.
llvm-svn: 259126
Adds a new family of .cv_* directives to LLVM's variant of GAS syntax:
- .cv_file: Similar to DWARF .file directives
- .cv_loc: Similar to the DWARF .loc directive, but starts with a
function id. CodeView line tables are emitted by function instead of
by compilation unit, so we needed an extra field to communicate this.
Rather than overloading the .loc direction further, we decided it was
better to have our own directive.
- .cv_stringtable: Emits the codeview string table at the current
position. Currently this just contains the filenames as
null-terminated strings.
- .cv_filechecksums: Emits the file checksum table for all files used
with .cv_file so far. There is currently no support for emitting
actual checksums, just filenames.
This moves the line table emission code down into the assembler. This
is in preparation for implementing the inlined call site line table
format. The inline line table format encoding algorithm requires knowing
the absolute code offsets, so it must run after the assembler has laid
out the code.
David Majnemer collaborated on this patch.
llvm-svn: 259117
This adds reportError to MCContext, which can be used as an alternative to
reportFatalError when the assembler wants to try to continue processing the
rest of the file after the error is reported, so that all of the errors ina
file can be reported. It records the fact that an error was encountered, so we
can avoid emitting an object file if any errors occurred.
This patch doesn't add any uses of this function (a later patch will convert
most uses of reportFatalError to use it), but there is a small functional
change: we use the SourceManager to print the error message, even if we have a
null SMLoc. This means that we get a SourceManager-style message, with the file
and line information shown as <unknown>, rather than the "LLVM ERROR" style
used by report_fatal_error.

MCRelaxableFragment previously kept a copy of MCSubtargetInfo and
MCInst to enable re-encoding the MCInst later during relaxation. A copy
of MCSubtargetInfo (instead of a reference or pointer) was needed
because the feature bits could be modified by the parser.
This commit replaces the MCSubtargetInfo copy in MCRelaxableFragment
with a constant reference to MCSubtargetInfo. The copies of
MCSubtargetInfo are kept in MCContext, and the target parsers are now
responsible for asking MCContext to provide a copy whenever the feature
bits of MCSubtargetInfo have to be toggled.
With this patch, I saw a 4% reduction in peak memory usage when I
compiled verify-uselistorder.lto.bc using llc.

This prevents MC clients from getting COFF.h, which conflicts with
winnt.h macros. Also a minor IWYU cleanup. Now the only public headers
including COFF.h are in Object, and they actually need it.

This reverts commit r245047.
It was failing on the darwin bots. The problem was that when running
./bin/llc -march=msp430
llc gets to
if (TheTriple.getTriple().empty())
TheTriple.setTriple(sys::getDefaultTargetTriple());
Which means that we go with an arch of msp430 but a triple of
x86_64-apple-darwin14.4.0 which fails badly.
That code has to be updated to select a triple based on the value of
march, but that is not a trivial fix.
llvm-svn: 245062
Other than some places that were handling unknown as ELF, this should
have no change. The test updates are because we were detecting
arm-coff or x86_64-win64-coff as ELF targets before.
It is not clear if the enum should live on the Triple. At least now it lives
in a single location and should be easier to move somewhere else.

This causes errors like:

Now that pr23900 is fixed, we can bring it back with no changes.
Original message:
Make all temporary symbols unnamed.
What this does is make all symbols that would otherwise start with a .L
(or L on MachO) unnamed.
Some of these symbols still show up in the symbol table, but we can just
make them unnamed.
In order to make sure we produce identical results when going thought assembly,
all .L (not just the compiler produced ones), are now unnamed.
Running llc on llvm-as.opt.bc, the peak memory usage goes from 208.24MB to
205.57MB.

Directional labels can show up in symbol tables (and we have a llvm-mc test for
that). Given that, we need to make sure they are named.
With that out of the way, use setUseNamesOnTempLabels in llvm-mc so that it
too benefits from the memory saving.
llvm-svn: 239914
Similarly to User which allocates a number of Use's prior to the this pointer,
allocate space for the Name* for MCSymbol only when we need a name.
Given that an MCSymbol is 48-bytes on 64-bit systems, this saves a decent % of space.
Given the verify_uselistorder test case with debug info and llc, 50k symbols have names
out of 700k so this optimises for the common case of temporary unnamed symbols.

Some temporary symbols are created by MC itself. These symbols are never used
for lookup and are never included in the object symbol table, so we can
avoid creating a name for them.
Other temporaries are created by CodeGen or by the user by explicitly asking
for a name starting with .L (or L on MachO).
These temporaries behave like regular symbols, we just try to avoid including
them in the object symbol table, but sometimes they end up there:
const char *foo() {
return "abc" + 3;
}
will have a relocation pointing to a .L symbol.
It just so happens that almost all MC created temporary has the AlwaysAddSuffix
option and CodeGen/user created ones don't.
One interesting future optimization would be to use unnamed symbols for
all temporaries, but that would require use an st_name of 0 or
having the object writer create the names if a symbol does end up in the
symbol table.
No testcase since this just avoid creating a few extra names for MC created
temporaries.

This create a MCSymbolELF class and moves SymbolSize since only ELF
needs a size expression.
This reduces the size of MCSymbol from 56 to 48 bytes.

Shave a pointer off of `MCSymbolName` by storing `StringMapEntry<bool>*`
instead of `StringRef`. This brings `sizeof(MCSymbol)` down to 64 on
64-bit platforms, a nice round number. My profile showed memory
dropping from 914 MB down to 908 MB, roughly 0.7%. Other than memory
usage, no functionality change here.
(I'm looking at `llc` memory usage on `verify-uselistorder.lto.opt.bc`;
see r236629 for details.)

This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.
