Summary:
The arg1 logging handler changed in compiler-rt to start writing a
different type for entries encountered when logging the first argument
of XRay-instrumented functions. This change allows the trace loader to
support reading these record types as well as prepare for when the
basic (naive) mode implementation starts writing down the argument
payloads.
Without this change, binaries with arg1 logging support enabled start
writing unreadable logs for any of the XRay tracing tools.

Summary:
A new FDR metadata record will support logging a function call argument;
appending multiple metadata records will represent a sequence of arguments
meaning that "holes" are not representable by the buffer format. Each
call argument is currently a 64-bit value (useful for "this" pointers and
synchronization objects).
If present, we put this argument to the function call "entry" record it
belongs to, and alter its type to notify the user of its presence.

Summary:
This change adds support for explicit tail-exit records to be written by
the XRay runtime. This lets us differentiate the tail exit
records/events in the log, and allows us to treat those exit events
especially in the future. For now we allow printing those out in YAML
(and reading them in).

Second try after fixing a code san problem with iterator reference types.
This change introduces a subcommand to the llvm-xray tool called
"stacks" which allows for analysing XRay traces provided as inputs and
accounting time to stacks instead of just individual functions. This
gives us a more precise view of where in a program the latency is
actually attributed.
The tool uses a trie data structure to keep track of the caller-callee
relationships as we process the XRay traces. In particular, we keep
track of the function call stack as we enter functions. While we're
doing this we're adding nodes in a trie and indicating a "calls"
relatinship between the caller (current top of the stack) and the callee
(the new top of the stack). When we push function ids onto the stack, we
keep track of the timestamp (TSC) for the enter event.
When exiting functions, we are able to account the duration by getting
the difference between the timestamp of the exit event and the
corresponding entry event in the stack. This works even if we somehow
miss the exit events for intermediary functions (i.e. if the exit event
is not cleanly associated with the enter event at the top of the stack).
The output of the tool currently provides just the top N leaf functions
that contribute the most latency, and the top N stacks that have the
most frequency. In the future we can provide more sophisticated query
mechanisms and potentially an export to database feature to make offline
analysis of the stack traces possible with existing tools.

Summary:
Before this patch, llvm-xray account will assume that thread stacks will
not be empty. Unfortunately there are cases where an instrumented
function will see a call to `fork()` which will cause the child process
to not see the start of the function, but only see the end of the
function. The tooling cannot assume that threads will always have
perfect stacks, and so we change it to support this reality.

When extracting the instrumentation map from a binary, we should be able
to recognize the new kinds of instrumentation sleds we've been emitting
with the compiler using -fxray-instrument. This change adds a test for

which is a bit harder to force in a simple prebuilt input).

Summary:
Assertions assuming that function calls may not have zero durations do
not seem to hold in the wild. There are valid cases where the conversion
of the tsc counters end up becoming zero-length durations. These
assertions don't really hold and the algorithms don't need those to be
true for them to work.

Summary:
It is problematic for this reader that it expects to read data from
several threads, but the header or message format does not define
framing. Since the buffers are reused, we can't rely on skipping
zeroed out data as a synchronization method either.
There is an argument that this is not version compatible with the format
the reader expected previously. I argue that since the writer wrote garbage
past the end of buffer record, there is no currently working reader to
compromise.
The corresponding writer change is posted to D31384.

The YAML output produced by llvm-xray is supposed to be wrapped at the

the wrapping is rather unpredictable, and can easily go past the set
number of columns, depending on the execution environment.
To make the YAML output environment-independent, disable wrapping
instead.

Summary:
This change implements the instrumentation map loading library which can
understand both YAML-defined instrumentation maps, and ELF 64-bit object
files that have the XRay instrumentation map section. We break it out
into a library on its own to allow for other applications to deal with
the XRay instrumentation map defined in XRay-instrumented binaries.
This type provides both raw access to the logical representation of the
instrumentation map entries as well as higher level functions for
converting a function ID into a function address.
At this point we only support ELF64 binaries and YAML-defined XRay
instrumentation maps. Future changes should extend this to support
32-bit ELF binaries, as well as other binary formats (like MachO).
As part of this change we also migrate all uses of the extraction logic
that used to be defined in tools/llvm-xray/ to use this new type and
interface for loading from files. We also remove the flag from the
`llvm-xray` tool that required users to specify the type of the
instrumentation map file being provided to instead make the library
auto-detect the file type.

Summary:
In this change we move the definition of the log reading routines from
the tools directory in LLVM to {include/llvm,lib}/XRay. We improve the
documentation a little bit for the publicly accessible headers, and
adjust the top-matter. This also leads to some refactoring and cleanup
in the tooling code.
In particular, we do the following:
- Rename the class from LogReader to Trace, as it better represents
the logical set of records as opposed to a log.
- Use file type detection instead of asking the user to say what
format the input file is. This allows us to keep the interface
simple and encapsulate the logic of loading the data appropriately.
In future changes we increase the API surface and write dedicated unit
tests for the XRay library.
