Currently WebAssembly has two kinds of relocations; data addresses and
function addresses. This adds ELF relocations for them, as well as an
MC symbol kind to indicate which type of relocation is needed.
llvm-svn: 257416
In PIC mode we were previously computing global variable addresses (or GOT
entry addresses) by adding the PC, the PC-relative GOT displacement and
the GOT-relative symbol/GOT entry displacement. Because the latter two
displacements are fixed, we ended up performing one more addition than
necessary.
This change causes us to compute addresses using a single PC-relative
displacement, resulting in a shorter code sequence. This reduces code size
by about 4% in a recent build of Chromium for Android.
As a result of this change we no longer need to compute the GOT base address
in the ARM backend, which allows us to remove the Global Base Reg pass and
SDAG lowering for the GOT.
We also now no longer use the GOT when addressing a symbol which is known
to be defined in the same linkage unit. Specifically, the symbol must have
either hidden visibility or a strong definition in the current module in
order to not use the the GOT.
This is a change from the previous behaviour where we would use the GOT to
address externally visible symbols defined in the same module. I think the
only cases where this could matter are cases involving symbol interposition,
but we don't really support that well anyway.

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.

We hit undefined behaviour in some MCExpr tests when the LHS of a left
shift is -1. Twos-complement semantics are completely reasonable here,
so we should just do the shift in unsigned.

This avoids yet another last minute patching of the binding.
While at it, also simplify the weakref implementation a bit by not walking
past it in the expression evaluation.

Symbols are no longer required to be named, but this leads to a crash here if an
unnamed symbol checks that its first character is '$'.
Change the code to first check for a name, then check its first character.
No test case i'm afraid as this is debugging code, but any test case with temp labels
and 'llc --debug --filetype=obj' would have crashed.

This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

Defaulting to AShr without consulting the target MCAsmInfo isn't OK.

Fixes PR19582.
Previously, when an asm assignment (.set or =) was created, we would look up
the section immediately in MCSymbol::setVariableValue. This caused symbols
to receive the wrong section if the RHS of the assignment had not been seen
yet. This had a knock-on effect in the object file emitters, causing them
to emit extra symbols, or to give symbols the wrong visibility or the wrong
section. For example, in the following asm:
.data
.Llocal:
.text
leaq .Llocal1(%rip), %rdi
.Llocal1 = .Llocal2
.Llocal2 = .Llocal
the first assignment would give .Llocal1 a null section, which would never get
fixed up by the second assignment. This would cause the ELF object file emitter
to consider .Llocal1 to be an undefined symbol and give it external linkage,
even though .Llocal1 should not have been emitted at all in the object file.
Or in the following asm:
alias_to_local = Ltmp0
Ltmp0:
the Mach-O object file emitter would give the alias_to_local symbol a n_type
of N_SECT and a n_sect of 0. This is invalid under the Mach-O specification,
which requires N_SECT symbols to receive a non-zero section number if the
symbol is defined in a section in the object file.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/MachORuntime/#//apple_ref/c/tag/nlist
After this change we do not look up the section when the assignment is created,
but instead look it up on demand and store it in Section, which is treated
as a cache if the symbol is a variable symbol.
This change also fixes a bug in MCExpr::FindAssociatedSection. Previously,
if we saw a subtraction, we would return the first referenced section, even in
cases where we should have been returning the absolute pseudo-section. Now we
always return the absolute pseudo-section for expressions that subtract two
section-derived expressions. This isn't always correct (e.g. if one of the
sections ends up being laid out at an absolute address), but it's probably
the best we can do without more context.
This allows us to remove code in two places where we appear to have been
working around this bug, in MachObjectWriter::markAbsoluteVariableSymbols
and in X86AsmPrinter::EmitStartOfAsmFile.
Re-applies r233595 (aka D8586), which was reverted in r233898.

There is something in link.exe that requires a relocation to use a
global symbol. Not doing so breaks the chrome build on windows.
This patch sets isWeak for that to work. To compensate,
we then need to look past those symbols when not creating relocations.
This patch includes an ELF test that matches GNU as behaviour.
I am still reducing the chrome build issue and will add a test
once that is done.
llvm-svn: 233318
The previous logic was to first try without relocations at all
and failing that stop on the first defined symbol.
That was inefficient and incorrect in the case part of the
expression could be simplified and another part could not
(see included test).
We now stop the evaluation when we get to a variable whose value
can change (i.e. is weak).

This adds support for parsing and emitting the SBREL relocation variant for the

Summary:
Large-model was added first. With the addition of support for multiple PIC
models in LLVM, now add small-model PIC for 32-bit PowerPC, SysV4 ABI. This
generates more optimal code, for shared libraries with less than about 16380
data objects.

Nico Rieck added support for this 32-bit COFF relocation some time ago
for Win64 stuff. It appears that as an oversight, the assembly output
used "foo"@IMGREL32 instead of "foo"@IMGREL, which is what we can parse.
Sadly, there were actually tests that took in IMGREL and put out
IMGREL32, and we didn't notice the inconsistency. Oh well. Now LLVM can
assemble it's own output with slightly more fidelity.

The fix itself is fairly simple: move getAccessVariant to MCValue so that we
replace the old weak expression evaluation with the far more general
EvaluateAsRelocatable.
This then requires that EvaluateAsRelocatable stop when it finds a non
trivial reference kind. And that in turn requires the ELF writer to look
harder for weak references.
Last but not least, this found a case where we were being bug by bug
compatible with gas and accepting an invalid input. I reported pr19647
to track it.
llvm-svn: 207920
When evaluating an assembly expression for a relocation, we want to
stop at MCSymbols that are in the symbol table, even if they are variables.
This is needed since the semantics may require that the relocation use them.
That is not the case when computing the value of a symbol in the symbol table.
There are no relocations in this case and we have to keep going until we hit
a section or find out that the expression doesn't have an assembly time
value.
