VarStreamArray was built on the assumption that it is backed by a
StreamRef, and offset 0 of that StreamRef is the first byte of the first
record in the array.
This is a logical and intuitive assumption, but unfortunately we have
use cases where it doesn't hold. Specifically, a PDB module's symbol
stream is prefixed by 4 bytes containing a magic value, and the first
byte of record data in the array is actually at offset 4 of this byte
sequence.
Previously, we would just truncate the first 4 bytes and then construct
the VarStreamArray with the resulting StreamRef, so that offset 0 of the
underlying stream did correspond to the first byte of the first record,
but this is problematic, because symbol records reference other symbol
records by the absolute offset including that initial magic 4 bytes. So
if another record wants to refer to the first record in the array, it
would say "the record at offset 4".
This led to extremely confusing hacks and semantics in loading code, and
after spending 30 minutes trying to get some math right and failing, I
decided to fix this in the underlying implementation of VarStreamArray.
Now, we can say that a stream is skewed by a particular amount. This
way, when we access a record by absolute offset, we can use the same
values that the records themselves contain, instead of having to do
fixups.

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.

When you have a member function with a ref-qualifier, for example:
struct Foo {
void Func() &;
void Func2() &&;
};
clang-cl was not emitting this information. Doing so is a bit
awkward, because it's not a property of the LF_MFUNCTION type, which
is what you'd expect. Instead, it's a property of the this pointer
which is actually an LF_POINTER. This record has an attributes
bitmask on it, and our handling of this bitmask was all wrong. We
had some parts of the bitmask defined incorrectly, but importantly
for this bug, we didn't know about these extra 2 bits that represent
the ref qualifier at all.

The machine scheduler currently biases register copies to/from
physical registers to be closer to their point of use / def to
minimize their live ranges. This change extends this to also physical
register assignments from immediate values.
This causes a reduction in reduction in overall register pressure and
minor reduction in spills and indirectly fixes an out-of-registers
assertion (PR39391).
Most test changes are from minor instruction reorderings and register
name selection changes and direct consequences of that.

Summary:
Ranges base address specifiers can save a lot of object size in
relocation records especially in optimized builds.
For an optimized self-host build of Clang with split DWARF and debug
info compression in object files, but uncompressed debug info in the
executable, this change produces about 18% smaller object files and 6%
larger executable.
While it would've been nice to turn this on by default, gold's 32 bit
gdb-index support crashes on this input & I don't think there's any
perfect heuristic to implement solely in LLVM that would suffice - so
we'll need a flag one way or another (also possible people might want to
aggressively optimized for executable size that contains debug info
(even with compression this would still come at some cost to executable
size)) - so let's plumb it through.

The TypeIndex used by cl.exe is 0x103, which indicates a SimpleTypeMode
of NearPointer (note the absence of the bitness, normally pointers use a
mode of NearPointer32 or NearPointer64) and a SimpleTypeKind of void.
So this is basically a void*, but without a specified size, which makes
sense given how std::nullptr_t is defined.
clang-cl was actually not emitting *anything* for this. Instead, when we
encountered std::nullptr_t in a DIType, we would actually just emit a
TypeIndex of 0, which is obviously wrong.
std::nullptr_t in DWARF is represented as a DW_TAG_unspecified_type with
a name of "decltype(nullptr)", so we add that logic along with a test,
as well as an update to the dumping code so that we no longer print
void* when dumping 0x103 (which would previously treat Void/NearPointer
no differently than Void/NearPointer64).

This makes the offsets larger (since they are further from the base
address) but those are in the .dwo - and allows removing addresses and
relocations from the .o file.
This could be built into the AddressPool more fundamentally, perhaps -
when you ask for an AddressPool entry you could say "or give me some
other entry and an offset I need to use" - though what to do about
situations where the first use of an address in a section is not the
earliest address in that section... is tricky.
At least with range addresses we can be fairly sure we've seen the
earliest address first because we see the start address for the
function.

Summary:
If the target does not support `.asciz` and `.ascii` directives, the
strings are represented as bytes and each byte is placed on the new line
as a separate byte directive `.b8 <data>`. NVPTX target allows to
represent the vector of the data of the same type as a vector, where
values are separated using `,` symbol: `.b8 <data1>,<data2>,...`. This
allows to reduce the size of the final PTX file. Ptxas tool includes ptx
files into the resulting binary object, so reducing the size of the PTX
file is important.
