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.

Finally remove the `MCSymbolData::Symbol` pointer. It was still being
used to track whether `MCSymbolData` had been initialized, but this is
better tracked by the bitfield in `MCSymbol`.
The only caller of `MCSymbolData::initialize()` was `MCAssembler`, which
(other than `Symbol`) passed in all-0 values. Replace all that
indirection with a default constructor.
The main point is a cleanup (and there's more cleanup to do), but there
are also some small memory savings. I measured ~989 MB down to ~975 MB,
cutting a little over 1% off the top of `llc`.
(I'm looking at `llc` memory usage on `verify-uselistorder.lto.opt.bc`;
see r236629 for details.)
llvm-svn: 237873
Instead of storing a list of the `MCSymbolData` in use, store the
`MCSymbol`s. Churning in the direction of removing the back pointer
from `MCSymbolData`.
llvm-svn: 237496
Turn `MCSymbolData` into a field inside of `MCSymbol`. Keep all the old
API alive for now, so that consumers can be updated in a later commit.
This means we still temporarily need the back pointer from
`MCSymbolData` to `MCSymbol`, but I'll remove it in a follow-up.
This optimizes for object emission over assembly emission. By removing
the `DenseMap` in `MCAssembler`, llc memory usage drops from around 1040
MB to 1001 MB (3.8%).
(I'm looking at `llc` memory usage on `verify-uselistorder.lto.opt.bc`;
see r236629 for details.)
llvm-svn: 237490
Instead of an intrusive double-linked linked list, use a
`std::vector<>`. This saves a pointer per symbol and simplifies
`MCSymbolData`. Otherwise, no functionality change here.
While I measured a memory drop from around 1047MB to 1040MB (0.6%) --
and this is a decent cleanup in its own right -- it's primarily a
preparation patch for merging `MCSymbol` and `MCSymbolData`. I'll post
an updated patch for that to the list in a moment.
(I'm looking at `llc` memory usage on `verify-uselistorder.lto.opt.bc`;
see r236629 for details.)
llvm-svn: 237487
Stop exposing the storage for `MCAssembler::Symbols`, and have
`MCAssembler` add symbols directly to its list instead of using a hook
in `MCSymbolData`. This opens up room for a follow-up commit to switch
from a linked list to a vector.

Summary:
When instruction bundling is enabled and the -mc-relax-all flag is
set, we can write bundle padding directly into fragments and avoid
creating large number of fragments significantly reducing LLVM MC
memory usage.

The fixes are to note that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local
relocations can be used. In particular, ld64 requires that relocations to
cstring/cfstrings use linker visible symbols.
Original message:
In an assembly expression like
bar:
.long L0 + 1
the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0.
In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a
single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information.
For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the
end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next.
The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero
addend.
In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections.
This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was
inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented
without the symbol.
This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too.
llvm-svn: 226503
One is that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local relocations can
be used. We have to take those into consideration when deciding to put a L
symbol in the symbol table or not.
The other is that ld64 requires the relocations to cstring to use linker
visible symbols on AArch64.
Thanks to Michael Zolotukhin for testing this!

Summary:
Currently an error is thrown if bundle alignment mode is set more than once
per module (either via the API or the .bundle_align_mode directive). This
change allows setting it multiple times as long as the alignment doesn't
change.
Also nested bundle_lock groups are currently not allowed. This change allows
them, with the effect that the group stays open until all nests are exited,
and if any of the bundle_lock directives has the align_to_end flag, the
group becomes align_to_end.
These changes make the bundle aligment simpler to use in the compiler, and
also better match the corresponding support in GNU as.

On x86_64 this brings it from 80 bytes to 64 bytes. Also make any member
variables private and clean up uses to go through the existing accessors.

This patch centralizes the handling of the thumb bit around
MCStreamer::isThumbFunc and makes isThumbFunc handle aliases.
This fixes a corner case, but the main advantage is having just one
way to check if a MCSymbol is thumb or not. This should still be
refactored to be ARM only, but at least now it is just one predicate
that has to be refactored instead of 3 (isThumbFunc,
ELF_Other_ThumbFunc, and SF_ThumbFunc).

I discovered this const-hole while attempting to coalesnce the Symbol

To support compression for debug_line and debug_frame a different
approach is required. To simplify review, revert the old implementation
and XFAIL the test case. New implementation to follow shortly.

Another part of the ARM64 backend (so tests will be following soon).
This is currently used by the linker to relax adrp/ldr pairs into nops
where possible, though could well be more broadly applicable.

I started trying to fix a small issue, but this code has seen a small fix too
many.
The old code was fairly convoluted. Some of the issues it had:
* It failed to check if a symbol difference was in the some section when
converting a relocation to pcrel.
* It failed to check if the relocation was already pcrel.
* The pcrel value computation was wrong in some cases (relocation-pc.s)
* It was missing quiet a few cases where it should not convert symbol
relocations to section relocations, leaving the backends to patch it up.
* It would not propagate the fact that it had changed a relocation to pcrel,
requiring a quiet nasty work around in ARM.
* It was missing comments.

1) When creating a .debug_* section and instead create a .zdebug_
section.
2) When creating a fragment in a .zdebug_* section, make it a compressed
fragment.
3) When computing the size of a compressed section, compress the data
and use the size of the compressed data.
4) Emit the compressed bytes.
Also, check that only if a section has a compressed fragment, then that
is the only fragment in the section.
Assert-fail if the fragment's data is modified after it is compressed.

The function hasReliableSymbolDifference had exactly one use in the MachO
writer. It is also only true for X86_64. In fact, the comments refers to
"Darwin x86_64" and everything else, so this makes the code match the
comment.
If this is to be abstracted again, it should be a property of
TargetObjectWriter, like useAggressiveSymbolFolding.
