It's useful for the memory managers that are allocating a section to know what the name of the section is.
At a minimum, this is useful for low-level debugging - it's customary for JITs to be able to tell you what
memory they allocated, and as part of any such dump, they should be able to tell you some meta-data about
what each allocation is for. This allows clients that supply their own memory managers to do this.
Additionally, we also envision the SectionName being useful for passing meta-data from within LLVM to an LLVM
client.
This changes both the C and C++ APIs, and all of the clients of those APIs within LLVM. I'm assuming that
it's safe to change the C++ API because that API is allowed to change. I'm assuming that it's safe to change
the C API because we haven't shipped the API in a release yet (LLVM 3.3 doesn't include the MCJIT memory
management C API).

For Mach-O there were 2 implementations for parsing object files. A
standalone llvm/Object/MachOObject.h and llvm/Object/MachO.h which
implements the generic interface in llvm/Object/ObjectFile.h.
This patch adds the missing features to MachO.h, moves macho-dump to
use MachO.h and removes ObjectFile.h.
In addition to making sure that check-all is clean, I checked that the
new version produces exactly the same output in all Mach-O files in a
llvm+clang build directory (including executables and shared
libraries).
To test the performance, I ran macho-dump over all the files in a
llvm+clang build directory again, but this time redirecting the output
to /dev/null. Both the old and new versions take about 4.6 seconds
(2.5 user) to finish.

Again, tools are trickier to pick the main module header for than
library source files. I've started to follow the pattern of using
LLVMContext.h when it is included as a stub for program source files.

It's more flexible for MCJIT tasks, in addition it's provides a invalidation instruction cache for code sections which will be used before JIT code will be executed.

1. The main works will made in the RuntimeDyLdImpl with uses the ObjectFile class. RuntimeDyLdMachO and RuntimeDyLdELF now only parses relocations and resolve it. This is allows to make improvements of the RuntimeDyLd more easily. In addition the support for COFF can be easily added.
2. Added ARM relocations to RuntimeDyLdELF.
3. Added support for stub functions for the ARM, allowing to do a long branch.
4. Added support for external functions that are not loaded from the object files, but can be loaded from external libraries. Now MCJIT can correctly execute the code containing the printf, putc, and etc.
5. The sections emitted instead functions, thanks Jim Grosbach. MemoryManager.startFunctionBody() and MemoryManager.endFunctionBody() have been removed.
6. MCJITMemoryManager.allocateDataSection() and MCJITMemoryManager. allocateCodeSection() used JMM->allocateSpace() instead of JMM->allocateCodeSection() and JMM->allocateDataSection(), because I got an error: "Cannot allocate an allocated block!" with object file contains more than one code or data sections.

(and hopefully on Windows). The bots have been down most of the day
because of this, and it's not clear to me what all will be required to
fix it.
The commits started with r153205, then r153207, r153208, and r153221.
The first commit seems to be the real culprit, but I couldn't revert
a smaller number of patches.
When resubmitting, r153207 and r153208 should be folded into r153205,
they were simple build fixes.

Move to a by-section allocation and relocation scheme. This allows
better support for sections which do not contain externally visible
symbols.
Flesh out the relocation address vs. local storage address separation a
bit more as well. Remote process JITs use this to tell the relocation
resolution code where the code will live when it executes.
The startFunctionBody/endFunctionBody interfaces to the JIT and the
memory manager are deprecated. They'll stick around for as long as the
old JIT does, but the MCJIT doesn't use them anymore.
llvm-svn: 148258
Add handling for tracking the relocations on symbols and resolving them.
Keep track of the relocations even after they are resolved so that if
the RuntimeDyld client moves the object, it can update the address and any
relocations to that object will be updated.
For our trival object file load/run test harness (llvm-rtdyld), this enables
relocations between functions located in the same object module. It should
be trivially extendable to load multiple objects with mutual references.
As a simple example, the following now works (running on x86_64 Darwin 10.6):
$ cat t.c
int bar() {
return 65;
}
int main() {
return bar();
}
$ clang t.c -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -o t.o -c
$ otool -vt t.o

Teach 32-bit section loading to use the Memory Manager interface, just like
the 64-bit loading does. Tidy up a few other things here and there.
llvm-svn: 129138
Start teaching the runtime Dyld interface to use the memory manager API
for allocating space. Rather than mapping directly into the MachO object,
we extract the payload for each object and copy it into a dedicated buffer
allocated via the memory manager. For now, just do Segment64, so this works
on x86_64, but not yet on ARM.
llvm-svn: 128973
The JITMemory manager references LLVM IR constructs directly, while the
runtime Dyld works at a lower level and can handle objects which may not
originate from LLVM IR. Introduce a new layer for the memory manager to
handle the interface between them. For the MCJIT, this layer will be almost
entirely simply a call-through w/ translation between the IR objects and
symbol names.
llvm-svn: 128851
Move the dynamic linking functionality of the llvm-rtdyld program into an
ExecutionEngine support library. Update llvm-rtdyld to just load an object
file into memory, use the library to process it, then run the _main()
function, if one is found.
llvm-svn: 128031
Factor out the 64-bit specific bits into a helper function and add an
equivalent that loads the 32-bit sections. This allows using llvm-rtdyld on ARM.
llvm-svn: 127892
Add a bone-simple utility to load a MachO object into memory, look for
a function (main) in it, and run that function directly. This will be used
as a test and development platform for MC-JIT work regarding symbol resolution,
dynamic lookup, etc..
Code by Daniel Dunbar.
