Previously, subprograms contained a metadata reference to the function they
described. Because most clients need to get or set a subprogram for a given
function rather than the other way around, this created unneeded inefficiency.
For example, many passes needed to call the function llvm::makeSubprogramMap()
to build a mapping from functions to subprograms, and the IR linker needed to
fix up function references in a way that caused quadratic complexity in the IR
linking phase of LTO.
This change reverses the direction of the edge by storing the subprogram as
function-level metadata and removing DISubprogram's function field.
Since this is an IR change, a bitcode upgrade has been provided.
Fixes PR23367. An upgrade script for textual IR for out-of-tree clients is
attached to the PR.

This extends the work done in r233995 so that now getFragment (in addition to
getSection) also works for variable symbols.
With that the existing logic to decide if a-b can be computed works even if
a or b are variables. Given that, the expression evaluation can avoid expanding
variables as aggressively and that in turn lets the relocation code see the
original variable.
In order for this to work with the asm streamer, there is now a dummy fragment
per section. It is used to assign a section to a symbol when no other fragment
exists.
This patch is a joint work by Maxim Ostapenko andy myself.

When building LLVM as a (potentially dynamic) library that can be linked against
by multiple compilers, the default triple is not really meaningful.
We allow to explicitely set it to an empty string when configuring LLVM.
In this case, said "target independent" tests in the test suite that are using
the default triple are disabled by matching the newly available feature
"default_triple".

As a follow-up to r246098, require `DISubprogram` definitions
(`isDefinition: true`) to be 'distinct'. Specifically, add an assembler
check, a verifier check, and bitcode upgrading logic to combat testcase
bitrot after the `DIBuilder` change.
While working on the testcases, I realized that
test/Linker/subprogram-linkonce-weak-odr.ll isn't relevant anymore. Its
purpose was to check for a corner case in PR22792 where two subprogram
definitions match exactly and share the same metadata node. The new
verifier check, requiring that subprogram definitions are 'distinct',
precludes that possibility.
I updated almost all the IR with the following script:
git grep -l -E -e '= !DISubprogram\(.* isDefinition: true' |
grep -v test/Bitcode |
xargs sed -i '' -e 's/= \(!DISubprogram(.*, isDefinition: true\)/= distinct \1/'
Likely some variant of would work for out-of-tree testcases.
llvm-svn: 246327
Since r241097, `DIBuilder` has only created distinct `DICompileUnit`s.
The backend is liable to start relying on that (if it hasn't already),
so make uniquable `DICompileUnit`s illegal and automatically upgrade old
bitcode. This is a nice cleanup, since we can remove an unnecessary
`DenseSet` (and the associated uniquing info) from `LLVMContextImpl`.
Almost all the testcases were updated with this script:
git grep -e '= !DICompileUnit' -l -- test |
grep -v test/Bitcode |
xargs sed -i '' -e 's,= !DICompileUnit,= distinct !DICompileUnit,'
I imagine something similar should work for out-of-tree testcases.

Only consider an instruction a candidate for relaxation if the last operand of the
instruction is an expression. We previously checked whether any operand is an expression,
which is useless, since for all instructions concerned, the only operand that may be
affected by relaxation is the last one.
In addition, this removes the check for having RIP as an argument, since it was
plain wrong - even when one of the arguments is RIP, relaxation may still be needed.
This fixes PR9807.

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.

Section symbols exist as an optimization: instead of having multiple relocations
point to different symbols, many of them can point to a single section symbol.
When that optimization is unused, a section symbol is also unused and adds no
extra information to the object file.
This saves a bit of space on the object files and makes the output of
llvm-objdump -t easier to read and consequently some tests get quite a bit
simpler.
llvm-svn: 239045
The ELF spec is very clear:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the value is non-zero, it represents a string table index that gives the
symbol name. Otherwise, the symbol table entry has no name.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In particular, a st_name of 0 most certainly doesn't mean that the symbol has
the same name as the section.
llvm-svn: 238899
ELF has no restrictions on where undefined symbols go relative to other defined
symbols. In fact, gas just sorts them together. Do the same.
This was there since r111174 probably just because the MachO writer has it.
llvm-svn: 238513
This was a bug for bug compatibility with gas that is completely unnecessary.
If a _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ symbol is used, it will already be created by
the time we get to the ELF writer.
llvm-svn: 238432
Normally an ELF .o has two string tables, one for symbols, one for section
names.
With the scheme of naming sections like ".text.foo" where foo is a symbol,
there is a big potential saving in using a single one.
Building llvm+clang+lld with master and with this patch the results were:
master: 193,267,008 bytes
patch: 186,107,952 bytes
master non unique section names: 183,260,192 bytes
patch non unique section names: 183,118,632 bytes
So using non usique saves 10,006,816 bytes, and the patch saves 7,159,056 while
still using distinct names for the sections.

The object format can be set to something other than MachO, e.g.
to use ELF-on-Darwin for MCJIT. This already works on Windows, so
there's no reason it shouldn't on Darwin.

During ELF writing, there is no need to further relax the sections, so we
should not be creating fragments. This patch avoids doing so in all cases
but debug section compression (that is next).
Also, the ELF format is fairly simple to write. We can do a single pass over
the sections to write them out and compute the section header table.
llvm-svn: 236235
Instead of accumulating the content in a fragment first, just write it
to the output stream.
Also put it first in the section table, so that we never have to worry
about its index being >= SHN_LORESERVE.

Finish off PR23080 by renaming the debug info IR constructs from `MD*`
to `DI*`. The last of the `DIDescriptor` classes were deleted in
r235356, and the last of the related typedefs removed in r235413, so
this has all baked for about a week.
Note: If you have out-of-tree code (like a frontend), I recommend that
you get everything compiling and tests passing with the *previous*
commit before updating to this one. It'll be easier to keep track of
what code is using the `DIDescriptor` hierarchy and what you've already
updated, and I think you're extremely unlikely to insert bugs. YMMV of
course.
Back to *this* commit: I did this using the rename-md-di-nodes.sh
upgrade script I've attached to PR23080 (both code and testcases) and
filtered through clang-format-diff.py. I edited the tests for
test/Assembler/invalid-generic-debug-node-*.ll by hand since the columns
were off-by-three. It should work on your out-of-tree testcases (and
code, if you've followed the advice in the previous paragraph).
Some of the tests are in badly named files now (e.g.,
test/Assembler/invalid-mdcompositetype-missing-tag.ll should be
'dicompositetype'); I'll come back and move the files in a follow-up
commit.

This matches other assemblers and is less unexpected (e.g. PR23227).
On ELF, I tried binutils gas v2.24 and nasm 2.10.09, and they both
agree on LShr. On COFF, I couldn't get my hands on an assembler yet,
so don't change the behavior. For now, don't change it on non-AArch64
Darwin either, as the other assembler is gas v1.38, which does an AShr.

Similar to r235222, but for the weak symbol case.
In an "ideal" assembler/object format an expression would always refer to the
final value and A-B would only be computed from a section in the same
comdat as A and B with A and B strong.
Unfortunately that is not the case with debug info on ELF, so we need an
heuristic. Since we need an heuristic, we may as well use the same one as
gas:
* call weak_sym : produces a relocation, even if in the same section.
* A - weak_sym and weak_sym -A: don't produce a relocation if we can
compute it.
This fixes pr23272 and changes the fix of pr22815 to match what gas does.
llvm-svn: 235227
Part of pr23272.
A small annoyance with the assembly syntax we implement is that given an
expression there is no way to know if what is desired is the value of that
expression for the symbols in this file or for the final values of those
symbols in a link.
The first case is useful for use in sections that get discarded or ignored
if the section they are describing is discarded.
For axample, consider A-B where A and B are in the same comdat section.
We can compute the value of the difference in the section that is present in
the current .o and if that section survives to the final DSO the value will
still will be correct.
But the section is in a comdat. Another section from another object file
might be used istead. We know that that section will define A and B, but
we have no idea what the value of A-B might be.
In practice we have to assume that the intention is to compute the value
in the current section since otherwise the is no way to create something like
the debug aranges section.
