There are two main advantages to doing this
* Targets that only need to handle one of the formats specially don't have
to worry about the others. For example, x86 now only registers a
constructor for the COFF streamer.
* Changes to the arguments passed to one format constructor will not impact
the other formats.

Any code creating an MCSectionELF knows ELF and already provides the flags.
SectionKind is an abstraction used by common code that uses a plain
MCSection.
Use the flags to compute the SectionKind. This removes a lot of
guessing and boilerplate from the MCSectionELF construction.

The only difference from r219829 is using
getOrCreateSectionSymbol(*ELFSec)
instead of
GetOrCreateSymbol(ELFSec->getSectionName())
in ELFObjectWriter which causes us to use the correct section symbol even if
we have multiple sections with the same name.
Original messages:
r219829:
Correctly handle references to section symbols.
When processing assembly like
.long .text
we were creating a new undefined symbol .text. GAS on the other hand would
handle that as a reference to the .text section.
This patch implements that by creating the section symbols earlier so that
they are visible during asm parsing.
The patch also updates llvm-readobj to print the symbol number in the relocation
dump so that the test can differentiate between two sections with the same name.

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.

In assembly the expression a=b is parsed as an assignment, so it should be
printed as one.
This remove a truly horrible hack for producing a label with "a=.". It would
be used by codegen but would never be reached by the asm parser. Sorry I
missed this when it was first committed.

diagnostic that includes location information.
Currently if one has this assembly:
.quad (0x1234 + (4 * SOME_VALUE))
where SOME_VALUE is undefined ones gets the less than
useful error message with no location information:
% clang -c x.s
clang -cc1as: fatal error: error in backend: expected relocatable expression
With this fix one now gets a more useful error message
with location information:
% clang -c x.s
x.s:5:8: error: expected relocatable expression
.quad (0x1234 + (4 * SOME_VALUE))
^
To do this I plumbed the SMLoc through the MCObjectStreamer
EmitValue() and EmitValueImpl() interfaces so it could be used
when creating the MCFixup.

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.

Before llvm-mc would print it, but llc was assuming that it would produce
another section changing directive before one was needed. That assumption is
false with inline asm.
Fixes PR19049.
Another option would be to always create the section, but in the asm printer
avoid printing sections changes during initialization. That would work, but
* We do use the fact that llvm-mc prints it in testing. The tests can be changed
if needed.
* A quick poll on IRC suggest that most developers prefer the implicit .text to
be printed.
llvm-svn: 203001
This has a few advantages:
* Only targets that use a MCTargetStreamer have to worry about it.
* There is never a MCTargetStreamer without a MCStreamer, so we can use a
reference.
* A MCTargetStreamer can talk to the MCStreamer in its constructor.

ARM symbol variants are written with parens instead of @ like this:
.word __GLOBAL_I_a(target1)
This commit adds support for parsing these symbol variants in
expressions. We introduce a new flag to MCAsmInfo that indicates the
parser should use parens to parse the symbol variant. The expression
parser is modified to look for symbol variants using parens instead
of @ when the corresponding MCAsmInfo flag is true.
The MCAsmInfo parens flag is enabled only for ARM on ELF.
By adding this flag to MCAsmInfo, we are able to get rid of
redundant ARM-specific symbol variants and use the generic variants
instead (e.g. VK_GOT instead of VK_ARM_GOT). We use the new
UseParensForSymbolVariant attribute in MCAsmInfo to correctly print
the symbol variants for arm.
To achive this we need to keep a handle to the MCAsmInfo in the
MCSymbolRefExpr class that we can check when printing the symbol
variant.
Updated Tests:
Changed case of symbol variant to match the generic kind.

This patch fixes a bug in the assembler that was causing bad code to
be emitted. When switching modes in an assembly file (e.g. arm to
thumb mode) we would always emit the opcode from the original mode.
Consider this small example:
$ cat align.s
.code 16
foo:
add r0, r0
.align 3
add r0, r0
$ llvm-mc -triple armv7-none-linux align.s -filetype=obj -o t.o
$ llvm-objdump -triple thumbv7 -d t.o
Disassembly of section .text:
foo:
0: 00 44 add r0, r0
2: 00 f0 20 e3 blx #4195904
6: 00 00 movs r0, r0
8: 00 44 add r0, r0
This shows that we have actually emitted an arm nop (e320f000)
instead of a thumb nop. Unfortunately, this encodes to a thumb
branch which causes bad things to happen when compiling assembly
code with align directives.
The fix is to notify the ARMAsmBackend when we switch mode. The
MCMachOStreamer was already doing this correctly. This patch makes
the same change for the MCElfStreamer.
There is still a bug in the way nops are emitted for alignment
because the MCAlignment fragment does not store the correct mode.
The ARMAsmBackend will emit nops for the last mode it knew about. In
the example above, we still generate an arm nop if we add a `.code
32` to the end of the file.

This patch fixes an old FIXME by creating a MCTargetStreamer interface
and moving the target specific functions for ARM, Mips and PPC to it.
The ARM streamer is still declared in a common place because it is
used from lib/CodeGen/ARMException.cpp, but the Mips and PPC are
completely hidden in the corresponding Target directories.
I will send an email to llvmdev with instructions on how to use this.

There are more than one paths to where the frame information is emitted. Place
the call to generateCompactUnwindEncodings() into the method which outputs the
frame information, thus ensuring that the encoding is there for every path. This
involved threading the MCAsmBackend object through to this method.

malformed user input to clang.

This was unfortunately incorrect, there is is fact another,
serious drawback to using the default VK_TLSLD/VK_TLSGD
variant kinds: using these causes ELFObjectWriter::RelocNeedsGOT
to return true, which in turn causes the ELFObjectWriter to emit
an undefined reference to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.
This is a problem on powerpc64, because it uses the TOC instead
of the GOT, and the linker does not provide _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_,
so the symbol remains undefined. This means shared libraries
using TLS built with the integrated assembler are currently
broken.
While the whole RelocNeedsGOT / _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ situation
probably ought to be properly fixed at some point, for now I'm
simply reverting the r185476 commit. Now this in turn exposes
the breakage of handling @tlsgd/@tlsld in the asm parser that
this check-in was originally intended to fix.
To avoid this regression, I'm also adding a different fix for
this problem: while common code now parses @tlsgd as VK_TLSGD,
a special hack in the asm parser translates this code to the
platform-specific VK_PPC_TLSGD that the back-end now expects.
While this is not really pretty, it's self-contained and
shouldn't hurt anything else for now. One the underlying
problem is fixed, this hack can be reverted again.
llvm-svn: 185945
The PowerPC-specific modifiers VK_PPC_TLSGD and VK_PPC_TLSLD
correspond exactly to the generic modifiers VK_TLSGD and VK_TLSLD.
This causes some confusion with the asm parser, since VK_PPC_TLSGD
is output as @tlsgd, which is then read back in as VK_TLSGD.
To avoid this confusion, this patch removes the PowerPC-specific
modifiers and uses the generic modifiers throughout. (The only
drawback is that the generic modifiers are printed in upper case
while the usual convention on PowerPC is to use lower-case modifiers.
But this is just a cosmetic issue.)
llvm-svn: 185476
This is dead code since PIC16 was removed in 2010. The result was an odd mix,
where some parts would carefully pass it along and others would assert it was
zero (most of the object streamer for example).

This adds support for TLS data relocations and modifiers:
.quad target@dtpmod
.quad target@tprel
.quad target@dtprel
Currently exploited by the asm parser only.
llvm-svn: 185394
The current code base only supports the minimum set of tls-related
relocations and @modifiers that are necessary to support compiler-
generated code. This patch extends this to the full set defined
in the ABI (and supported by the GNU assembler) for the benefit
of the assembler parser.
llvm-svn: 184551
This renames more VK_PPC_ enums, to make them more closely reflect
the @modifier string they represent. This also prepares for adding
a bunch of new VK_PPC_ enums in upcoming patches.
For consistency, some MO_ flags related to VK_PPC_ enums are
likewise renamed.
No change in behaviour.

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.

With bundle alignment, instructions all get their own MCFragments
(unless they are in a bundle-locked group). For instructions with
fixups, this is an MCDataFragment. Emitting actual data (e.g. for
.long) attempts to re-use MCDataFragments, which we don't want int
this case since it leads to fragments which exceed the bundle size.
So, don't reuse them in this case.
Also adds a test and fixes some formatting.

This patch adds support for AArch64 (ARM's 64-bit architecture) to
LLVM in the "experimental" category. Currently, it won't be built
unless requested explicitly.
This initial commit should have support for:
+ Assembly of all scalar (i.e. non-NEON, non-Crypto) instructions
(except the late addition CRC instructions).
+ CodeGen features required for C++03 and C99.
+ Compilation for the "small" memory model: code+static data <
4GB.
+ Absolute and position-independent code.
+ GNU-style (i.e. "__thread") TLS.
+ Debugging information.
The principal omission, currently, is performance tuning.
This patch excludes the NEON support also reviewed due to an outbreak of
batshit insanity in our legal department. That will be committed soon bringing
the changes to precisely what has been approved.
Further reviews would be gratefully received.

into which we can emit single instructions without fixups (which is most
instructions). This is an optimization required because MCDataFragment
is prety large (240 bytes on x64), with no change in functionality.
For large programs, this reduces memory usage overhead required for bundling
by 40%.
To make the code as palatable as possible, the MCEncodedFragment interface was
further fragmented (no pun intended) and MCEncodedFragmentWithFixups is used
as the interface to work against when the user expects fixups. MCDataFragment
and MCRelaxableFragment implement this interface, while the new
MCCompactEncodedInstFragment implements MCEncodeFragment.

The aim of this patch is to fix the following piece of code in the
platform-independent AsmParser:
void AsmParser::CheckForValidSection() {
if (!ParsingInlineAsm && !getStreamer().getCurrentSection()) {
TokError("expected section directive before assembly directive");
Out.SwitchSection(Ctx.getMachOSection(
"__TEXT", "__text",
MCSectionMachO::S_ATTR_PURE_INSTRUCTIONS,
0, SectionKind::getText()));
}
}
This was added for the "-n" option of llvm-mc.
The proposed fix adds another virtual method to MCStreamer, called
InitToTextSection. Conceptually, it's similar to the existing
InitSections which initializes all common sections and switches to
text. The new method is implemented by each platform streamer in a way
that it sees fit. So AsmParser can now do this:
void AsmParser::CheckForValidSection() {
if (!ParsingInlineAsm && !getStreamer().getCurrentSection()) {
TokError("expected section directive before assembly directive");
Out.InitToTextSection();
}
}
Which is much more reasonable.
