Linker relaxation may change code size. We need to fix up the alignment
of alignment directive in text section by inserting Nops and R_RISCV_ALIGN
relocation type. So then linker could satisfy the alignment by removing Nops.
To do this:
1. Add shouldInsertExtraNopBytesForCodeAlign target hook to calculate
the Nops we need to insert.
2. Add shouldInsertFixupForCodeAlign target hook to insert
R_RISCV_ALIGN fixup type.

N_FUNC_COLD is a new MachO symbol attribute. It's a hint to the linker
to order a symbol towards the end of its section, to improve locality.
Example:
```
void a1() {}
__attribute__((cold)) void a2() {}
void a3() {}
int main() {
a1();
a2();
a3();
return 0;
}
```
A linker that supports N_FUNC_COLD will order _a2 to the end of the text
section. From `nm -njU` output, we see:
```
_a1
_a3
_main
_a2
```

This patch adds a new ReadAdvance definition named ReadInt2Fpu.
ReadInt2Fpu allows x86 scheduling models to accurately describe delays caused by
data transfers from the integer unit to the floating point unit.
ReadInt2Fpu currently defaults to a delay of zero cycles (i.e. no delay) for all
x86 models excluding BtVer2. That means, this patch is only a functional change
for the Jaguar cpu model only.
Tablegen definitions for instructions (V)PINSR* have been updated to account for
the new ReadInt2Fpu. That read is mapped to the the GPR input operand.
On Jaguar, int-to-fpu transfers are modeled as a +6cy delay. Before this patch,
that extra delay was added to the opcode latency. In practice, the insert opcode
only executes for 1cy. Most of the actual latency is actually contributed by the
so-called operand-latency. According to the AMD SOG for family 16h, (V)PINSR*
latency is defined by expression f+1, where f is defined as a forwarding delay
from the integer unit to the fpu.
When printing instruction latency from MCA (see InstructionInfoView.cpp) and LLC
(only when flag -print-schedule is speified), we now need to account for any
extra forwarding delays. We do this by checking if scheduling classes declare
any negative ReadAdvance entries. Quoting a code comment in TargetSchedule.td:
"A negative advance effectively increases latency, which may be used for
cross-domain stalls". When computing the instruction latency for the purpose of
our scheduling tests, we now add any extra delay to the formula. This avoids
regressing existing codegen and mca schedule tests. It comes with the cost of an
extra (but very simple) hook in MCSchedModel.

objdump was interpreting the function header containing the locals
declaration as instructions. To parse these without injecting target
specific code in objdump, MCDisassembler::onSymbolStart was added to
be implemented by the WebAssembly implemention.
WasmObjectFile now returns a code offset for the "address" of a symbol,
rather than the index. This is also more in-line with what other
targets do.
Also ensured that the AsmParser correctly puts each function
in its own segment to enable this test case.

Summary:
The "single parameter" .file directive appears to be an ELF-only feature
that is intended to insert the main source filename into the string
table table.
I noticed that if you assemble an ELF .s file for COFF, typically it
will assert right away on a .file directive near the top of the file. My
first change was to make this emit a proper error in the asm parser so
that we don't assert so easily.
However, COFF actually does have some support for this directive, and if
you emit an object file, llvm-mc does not assert. When emitting a COFF
object, MC will take those file names and create "debug" symbol table
entries for them. I'm not familiar with these kinds of symbol table
entries, and I'm not aware of any users of them, but @compnerd added
them a while ago. They don't introduce absolute paths, and most main
source file paths are short enough that this extra entry shouldn't cause
any problems, so I enabled the flag in MCAsmInfoCOFF that indicates that
it's supported.
This has the side effect of adding an extra debug symbol to every object
produced by clang, which is a pretty big functional change. My question
is, should we keep the functionality or remove it in the name of symbol
table minimalism?

- When signing return addresses with -msign-return-address=<scope>{+<key>},
either the A key instructions or the B key instructions can be used. To
correctly authenticate the return address, the unwinder/debugger must know
which key was used to sign the return address.
- When and exception is thrown or a break point reached, it may be necessary to
unwind the stack. To accomplish this, the unwinder/debugger must be able to
first authenticate an the return address if it has been signed.
- To enable this, the augmentation string of CIEs has been extended to allow
inclusion of a 'B' character. Functions that are signed using the B key
variant of the instructions should have and FDE whose associated CIE has a 'B'
in the augmentation string.
- One must also be able to preserve these semantics when first stepping from a
high level language into assembly and then, as a second step, into an object
file. To achieve this, I have introduced a new assembly directive
'.cfi_b_key_frame ', that tells the assembler the current frame uses return
address signing with the B key.
- This ensures that the FDE is associated with a CIE that has 'B' in the
augmentation string.

build version load commands in the object file
This commit introduces a new metadata node called "SDK Version". It will be set
by the frontend to mark the platform SDK (macOS/iOS/etc) version which was used
during that particular compilation.
This node is used when machine code is emitted, by either saving the SDK version
into the appropriate macho load command (version min/build version), or by
emitting the assembly for these load commands with the SDK version specified as
well.
The assembly for both load commands is extended by allowing it to contain the

respectively.

Currently, variadic operands on an MCInst are assumed to be uses,
because they come after the defs. However, this is not always the case,
for example the Arm/Thumb LDM instructions write to a variable number of
registers.
This adds a property of instruction definitions which can be used to
mark variadic operands as defs. This only affects MCInst, because
MachineInstruction already tracks use/def per operand in each instance
of the instruction, so can already represent this.
This property can then be checked in MCInstrDesc, allowing us to remove
some special cases in ARMAsmParser::isITBlockTerminator.

In the Arm assembly parser, we first match an instruction, then call
processInstruction to possibly change it to a different encoding, to
match rules in the architecture manual which can't be expressed by the
table-generated matcher.
This adds debug printing so that this process is visible when using the
-debug option.
To support this, I've added a new overload of MCInst::dump_pretty which
takes the opcode name as a StringRef, since we don't have an InstPrinter
instance in the assembly parser. Instead, we can get the same
information directly from the MCInstrInfo.

This patch adds BPF Debug Format (BTF) as a standalone
LLVM debuginfo. The BTF related sections are directly
generated from IR. The BTF debuginfo is generated
only when the compilation target is BPF.
What is BTF?
============
First, the BPF is a linux kernel virtual machine
and widely used for tracing, networking and security.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/filter.txthttps://cilium.readthedocs.io/en/v1.2/bpf/
BTF is the debug info format for BPF, introduced in the below
linux patch
69b693f0ae (diff-06fb1c8825f653d7e539058b72c83332)
in the patch set mentioned in the below lwn article.
https://lwn.net/Articles/752047/
The BTF format is specified in the above github commit.
In summary, its layout looks like
struct btf_header
type subsection (a list of types)
string subsection (a list of strings)
With such information, the kernel and the user space is able to
pretty print a particular bpf map key/value. One possible example below:
Withtout BTF:
key: [ 0x01, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00 ]
With BTF:
key: struct t { a : 1; b : 1; c : 0}
where struct is defined as
struct t { char a; char b; short c; };
How BTF is generated?
=====================
Currently, the BTF is generated through pahole.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/commit/?id=68645f7facc2eb69d0aeb2dd7d2f0cac0feb4d69
and available in pahole v1.12
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/commit/?id=4a21c5c8db0fcd2a279d067ecfb731596de822d4
Basically, the bpf program needs to be compiled with -g with
dwarf sections generated. The pahole is enhanced such that
a .BTF section can be generated based on dwarf. This format
of the .BTF section matches the format expected by
the kernel, so a bpf loader can just take the .BTF section
and load it into the kernel.
8a138aed4a
The .BTF section layout is also specified in this patch:
with file include/llvm/BinaryFormat/BTF.h.
What use cases this patch tries to address?
===========================================
Currently, only the bpf instruction stream is required to
pass to the kernel. The kernel verifies it, jits it if configured
to do so, attaches it to a particular kernel attachment point,
and later executes when a particular event happens.
This patch tries to expand BTF to support two more use cases below:
(1). BPF supports subroutine calls.
During performance analysis, it would be good to
differentiate which call is hot instead of just
providing a virtual address. This would require to
pass a unique identifier for each subroutine to
the kernel, the subroutine name is a natual choice.
(2). If a particular jitted instruction is hot, we want
user to know which source line this jitted instruction
belongs to. This would require the source information
is available to various profiling tools.
Note that in a single ELF file,
. there may be multiple loadable bpf programs,
. for a particular to-be-loaded bpf instruction stream,
its instructions may come from multiple PROGBITS sections,
the bpf loader needs to merge them together to a single
consecutive insn stream before loading to the kernel.
For example:
section .text: subroutines funcFoo
section _progA: calling funcFoo
section _progB: calling funcFoo
The bpf loader could construct two loadable bpf instruction
streams and load them into the kernel:
. _progA funcFoo
. _progB funcFoo
So per ELF section function offset and instruction offset
will need to be adjusted before passing to the kernel, and
the kernel essentially expect only one code section regardless
of how many in the ELF file.
What do we propose and Why?
===========================
To support the above two use cases, we propose to
add an additional section, .BTF.ext, to the ELF file
which is the input of the bpf loader. A different section
is preferred since loader may need to manipulate it before
loading part of its data to the kernel.
The .BTF.ext section has a similar header to the .BTF section
and it contains two subsections for func_info and line_info.
. the func_info maps the func insn byte offset to a func
type in the .BTF type subsection.
. the line_info maps the insn byte offset to a line info.
. both func_info and line_info subsections are organized
by ELF PROGBITS AX sections.
pahole is not a good place to implement .BTF.ext as
pahole is mostly for structure hole information and more
importantly, we want to pass the actual code to the kernel.
. bpf program typically is small so storage overhead
should be small.
. in bpf land, it is totally possible that
an application loads the bpf program into the
kernel and then that application quits, so
holding debug info by the user space application
is not practical as you may not even know who
loads this bpf program.
. having source codes directly kept by kernel
would ease deployment since the original source
code does not need ship on every hosts and
kernel-devel package does not need to be
deployed even if kernel headers are used.
LLVM is a good place to implement.
. The only reliable time to get the source code is
during compilation time. This will result in both more
accurate information and easier deployment as
stated in the above.
. Another consideration is for JIT. The project like bcc
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc)
use MCJIT to compile a C program into bpf insns and
load them to the kernel. The llvm generated BTF sections
will be readily available for such cases as well.
Design and implementation of emiting .BTF/.BTF.ext sections
===========================================================
The BTF debuginfo format is defined. Both .BTF and .BTF.ext
sections are generated directly from IR when both
"-target bpf" and "-g" are specified. Note that
dwarf sections are still generated as dwarf is used
by user space tools like llvm-objdump etc. for BPF target.
This patch also contains tests to verify generated
.BTF and .BTF.ext sections for all supported types, func_info
and line_info subsections. The patch is also tested
against linux kernel bpf sample tests and selftests.
