The DIEUnit class represents a compile or type unit and it owns the unit DIE as an instance variable. This allows anyone with a DIE, to get the unit DIE, and then get back to its DIEUnit without adding any new ivars to the DIE class. Why was this needed? The DIE class has an Offset that is always the CU relative DIE offset, not the "offset in debug info section" as was commented in the header file (the comment has been corrected). This is great for performance because most DIE references are compile unit relative and this means most code that accessed the DIE's offset didn't need to make it into a compile unit relative offset because it already was. When we needed to emit a DW_FORM_ref_addr though, we needed to find the absolute offset of the DIE by finding the DIE's compile/type unit. This class did have the absolute debug info/type offset and could be added to the CU relative offset to compute the absolute offset. With this change we can easily get back to a DIE's DIEUnit which will have this needed offset. Prior to this is required having a DwarfDebug and required calling:
DwarfCompileUnit *DwarfDebug::lookupUnit(const DIE *CU) const;
Now we can use the DIEUnit class to do so without needing DwarfDebug. All clients now use DIEUnit objects (the DwarfDebug stack and the DwarfLinker). A follow on patch for the DWARF generator will also take advantage of this.

Mint a new function, `AsmPrinter::emitDwarfStringOffset()`, which takes
a `DwarfStringPoolEntryRef`. When DWARF is relocatable across sections,
this defers to `emitSectionOffset()` and emits the `MCSymbol`;
otherwise, just emit the offset directly, without using any intermediate
symbols.
`EmitLabelDifference()` is already optimized to emit absolute label
differences cheaply when possible, so there aren't any major memory
savings here (853 MB down to 851 MB, or 0.2%). However, it prepares for
making the `MCSymbol`s in the `DwarfStringPool` optional.
(I'm looking at `llc` memory usage on `verify-uselistorder.lto.opt.bc`;
see r236629 for details.)

Before this patch code wanting to create temporary labels for a given entity
(function, cu, exception range, etc) had to keep its own counter to have stable
symbol names.
createTempSymbol would still add a suffix to make sure a new symbol was always
returned, but it kept a single counter. Because of that, if we were to use
just createTempSymbol("cu_begin"), the label could change from cu_begin42 to
cu_begin43 because some other code started using temporary labels.
Simplify this by just keeping one counter per prefix and removing the various
specialized counters.
llvm-svn: 232535
This makes code that uses section relative expressions (debug info) simpler and
less brittle.
This is still a bit awkward as the symbol is created late and has to be
stored in a mutable field.
I will move the symbol creation earlier in the next patch.

Last commit fixed the handling of hash collisions, but it introdcuced
unneeded bucket terminators in some places. The generated table was
correct, it can just be a tiny bit smaller. As the previous table was
correct, the test doesn't need updating. If we really wanted to test
this, I could add the section size to the dwarf dump and test for a
precise value there. IMO the correctness test is sufficient.

It turns out accelerator tables where totally broken if they contained
entries with colliding hashes. The failure mode is pretty bad, as it not
only impacted the colliding entries, but would basically make all the
entries after the first hash collision pointing in the wrong place.
The testcase uses the symbol names that where found to collide during a
clang build.
From a performance point of view, the patch adds a sort and a linear
walk over each bucket contents. While it has a measurable impact on the
accelerator table emission, it's not showing up significantly in clang
profiles (and I'd argue that correctness is priceless :-)).

I have a test for that issue, but I didn't include it in the commit as it's
a 200KB file for a pretty minor issue. (The reason the file is so big is
that it needs > 1024 variables/functions to trigger and that with debug
information.
The issue/fix on the other side is totally trivial. If poeple want the test
commited, I can do that. It just didn't seem worth it to me.

dsymutil would like to use all the AsmPrinter/MCStreamer infrastructure
to stream out the DWARF. In order to do so, it will reuse the DIE object
and so this header needs to be public.
The interface exposed here has some corners that cannot be used without a
DwarfDebug object, but clients that want to stream Dwarf can just avoid
these.

The DIE offset in the accel tables is an offset relative to the start
of the debug_info section, but we were encoding the offset to the
start of the containing CU.

And since it /looked/ like the DwarfStrSectionSym was unused, I tried
removing it - but then it turned out that DwarfStringPool was
reconstructing the same label (and expecting it to have already been
emitted) and uses that.
So I kept it around, but wanted to pass it in to users - since it seemed
a bit silly for DwarfStringPool to have it passed in and returned but
itself have no use for it. The only two users don't handle strings in
both .dwo and .o files so they only ever need the one symbol - no need
to keep it (and have an unused symbol) in the DwarfStringPool used for
fission/.dwo.
Refactor a bunch of accelerator table usage to remove duplication so I
didn't have to touch 4-5 callers.

This also avoids the need for subtly side-effecting calls to manifest
strings in the string table at the point where items are added to the
accelerator tables.

Pulls out some more code from some of the rather monolithic DWARF
classes. Unlike the address table, the string table won't move up into
DwarfDebug - each DWARF file has its own string table (but there can be
only one address table).

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

- Don't copy offsets into HashData, the underlying vector won't change once the table is finalized.
- Allocate HashData and HashDataContents in a BumpPtrAllocator.
- Allocate string map entries in the same allocator.
- Random cleanups.

(This time I believe I've checked all the -Wreturn-type warnings from GCC & added the couple of llvm_unreachables necessary to silence them. If I've missed any, I'll happily fix them as soon as I know about them)

the pubnames and pubtypes tables. LLDB can currently use this format
and a full spec is forthcoming and submission for standardization is planned.
A basic summary:
The dwarf accelerator tables are an indirect hash table optimized
for null lookup rather than access to known data. They are output into
an on-disk format that looks like this:
.-------------.
| HEADER |
|-------------|
| BUCKETS |
|-------------|
| HASHES |
|-------------|
| OFFSETS |
|-------------|
| DATA |
`-------------'
where the header contains a magic number, version, type of hash function,
the number of buckets, total number of hashes, and room for a special
struct of data and the length of that struct.
The buckets contain an index (e.g. 6) into the hashes array. The hashes
section contains all of the 32-bit hash values in contiguous memory, and
the offsets contain the offset into the data area for the particular
hash.
For a lookup example, we could hash a function name and take it modulo the
number of buckets giving us our bucket. From there we take the bucket value
as an index into the hashes table and look at each successive hash as long
as the hash value is still the same modulo result (bucket value) as earlier.
If we have a match we look at that same entry in the offsets table and
grab the offset in the data for our final match.
