The symbol table itself has no relocations, so it is not possible to represent
things like
a = undefined + 1
With the patch we just omit these variables. That matches the behaviour of the
gnu assembler.

When fixing the symbols in each compressed section we were iterating
over all symbols for each compressed section. In extreme cases this
could snowball severely (5min uncompressed -> 35min compressed) due to
iterating over all symbols for each compressed section (large numbers of
compressed sections can be generated by DWARF type units).
To address this, build a map of the symbols in each section ahead of
time, and access that map if a section is being compressed. This brings
compile time for the aforementioned example down to ~6 minutes.

I discovered this const-hole while attempting to coalesnce the Symbol
and SymbolMap data structures. There's some pending issues with that,
but I figured this change was easy to flush early.
llvm-svn: 207124
Both ZLIB and the debug info compressed section header ("ZLIB" + the
size of the uncompressed data) take some constant overhead so in some
cases the compressed data is actually larger than the uncompressed data.
In these cases, just don't compress or rename the section at all.
llvm-svn: 206659
While unnamed relocations are already cached in side tables in
ELFObjectWriter::RecordRelocation, symbols still need their fragments
updated to refer to the newly compressed fragment (even if that fragment
isn't big enough to fit the offset). Even though we only create
temporary symbols in debug info sections this comes up in 32 bit builds
where even temporary symbols in mergeable sections (such as debug_str)
have to be emitted as named symbols.
I tried a few other ways to do this but they all didn't work for various
reasons:
1) Canonicalize the MCSymbolData in RecordRelocation, nulling out the
Fragment (so it didn't have to be updated by CompressDebugSection). This
doesn't work because some code relies on symbols having fragments to
indicate that they're defined, I think.
2) Canonicalize the MCSymbolData in RecordRelocation to be "first
fragment + absolute offset" so it would be cheaper to just test and
update the fragment in CompressDebugSections. This doesn't work because
the offset computed in RecordRelocation isn't that of the symbol's
fragment, it's the passed in fragment (I haven't figured out what that
fragment is - perhaps it's the location where the relocation is to be
written). And if the fragment offset has to be computed only for this
use we might as well just do it when we need to, in
CompressDebugSection.
I also added an assert to help catch this a bit more clearly, even
though it is UB. The test case improvements would either assert fail
and/or valgrind vail without the fix, even if they wouldn't necessarily
fail the FileCheck output.
llvm-svn: 206653
To support compressing the debug_line section that contains multiple
fragments (due, I believe, to variation in choices of line table
encoding depending on the size of instruction ranges in the actual
program code) we needed to support compressing multiple MCFragments in a
single pass.
This patch implements that behavior by mutating the post-relaxed and
relocated section to be the compressed form of its former self,
including renaming the section.
This is a more flexible (and less invasive, to a degree) implementation
that will allow for other features such as "use compression only if it's
smaller than the uncompressed data".
Compressing debug_frame would be a possible further extension to this
work, but I've left it for now. The hurdle there is alignment sections -
which might require going as far as to refactor
MCAssembler.cpp:writeFragment to handle writing to a byte buffer or an
MCObjectWriter (there's already a virtual call there, so it shouldn't
add substantial compile-time cost) which could in turn involve
refactoring MCAsmBackend::writeNopData to use that same abstraction...
which involves touching all the backends. This would remove the limited
handling of fragment writing seen in
ELFObjectWriter.cpp:getUncompressedData which would be nice - but it's
more invasive.
I did discover that I (perhaps obviously) don't need to handle
relocations when I rewrite the fragments - since the relocations have
already been applied and computed (and stored into
ELFObjectWriter::Relocations) by this stage (necessarily, because we
need to have written any immediate values or assembly-time relocations
into the data already before we compress it, which we have). The test
case doesn't necessarily cover that in detail - I can add more test
coverage if that's preferred.
llvm-svn: 205990
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.
llvm-svn: 205076
We need .symtab_shndxr if and only if a symbol references a section with an
index >= 0xff00.
The old code was trying to figure out if the section was needed ahead of time,
making it a fairly dependent on the code actually writing the table. It was
also somewhat conservative and would create the section in cases where it was
not needed.
If I remember correctly, the old structure was there so that the sections were
created in the same order gas creates them. That was valuable when MC's support
for ELF was new and we tested with elf-dump.py.
This patch refactors the symbol table creation to another class and makes it
obvious that .symtab_shndxr is really only created when we are about to output
a reference to a section index >= 0xff00.
While here, also improve the tests to use macros. One file is one section
short of needing .symtab_shndxr, the second one has just the right number.
llvm-svn: 204769
This is similar, but not identical to what gas does. The logic in MC is to just
compute the symbol table after parsing the entire file. GAS is mixed, given
.type b, @object
a = b
b:
.type b, @function
It will propagate the change and make 'a' a function. Given
.type b, @object
b:
a = b
.type b, @function
the type of 'a' is still object.
Since we do the computation in the end, we produce a function in both cases.
llvm-svn: 204555
Given
bar = foo + 4
.long bar
MC would eat the 4. GNU as includes it in the relocation. The rule seems to be
that a variable that defines a symbol is used in the relocation and one that
does not define a symbol is evaluated and the result included in the relocation.
Fixing this unfortunately required some other changes:
* Since the variable is now evaluated, it would prevent the ELF writer from
noticing the weakref marker the elf streamer uses. This patch then replaces
that with a VariantKind in MCSymbolRefExpr.
* Using VariantKind then requires us to look past other VariantKind to see
.weakref bar,foo
call bar@PLT
doing this also fixes
zed = foo +2
call zed@PLT
so that is a good thing.
* Looking past VariantKind means that the relocation selection has to use
the fixup instead of the target.
This is a reboot of the previous fixes for MC. I will watch the sanitizer
buildbot and wait for a build before adding back the previous fixes.

The revision I'm reverting breaks handling of transitive aliases. This blocks us
and breaks sanitizer bootstrap:

This performs the equivalent of a .set directive in that it creates a symbol
which is an alias for another symbol or value which may possibly be yet
undefined. This directive also has the added property in that it marks the
aliased symbol as being a thumb function entry point, in the same way that the
.thumb_func directive does.
The current implementation fails one test due to an unrelated issue. Functions
within .thumb sections are not marked as thumb_func. The result is that
the aliasee function is not valued correctly.

This is really a consistency fix. Since given
a = b
we propagate the information, we should propagate it too given
a = b + (1 - 1)

This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.

This is a nop. doesSectionRequireSymbols is only used from
isSymbolLinkerVisible. isSymbolLinkerVisible only use from ELF was in
if (!Asm.isSymbolLinkerVisible(Symbol) && !Symbol.isUndefined())
return false;
if (Symbol.isTemporary())
return false;
If the symbol is a temporary this code returns false and it is irrelevant if
we take the first if or not. If the symbol is not a temporary,
Asm.isSymbolLinkerVisible returns true without ever calling
doesSectionRequireSymbols.
This was an horrible leftover from when support for ELF was first added.

take type from the new symbol but merge them so that the type
is never "downgraded".
This is probably quite rare, except for IFUNC symbols which
we used to misassemble, losing the IFUNC type.

ELF_Other_Weakref and ELF_Other_ThumbFunc seems to be LLVM
internal ELF symbol flags. These should not be emitted to
object file.
This commit defines ELF_STO_Shift for the target-defined
flags for st_other, and increase the value of
ELF_Other_Shift to 16.

This makes using array_pod_sort significantly safer. The implementation relies

excluding visibility bits.
Generic STO handling at the Target level.
The st_other field of the ELF symbol table is one
byte in size. The first 2 bytes are used for generic
visibility and are currently handled by llvm.
The other six bits are processor specific and need
to be set at the target level.
A couple of notes:
The new static methods for accessing and setting the "other"
flags in include/llvm/MC/MCELF.h match the style guide
and not the other methods in the file. I don't like the
inconsistency, but feel I should follow the prescribed
lowerUpper() convention.
STO_ value definitions are not specified in gnu land as
consistently as the STT_ and STB_ fields. Probably because
the latter were defined in a standards doc and the former
defined partially in code. I have stuck with the full byte
definition of the flags.
