Rahman Lavaee 32c4fd8ef6 Exception support for basic block sections
This is part of the Propeller framework to do post link code layout optimizations. Please see the RFC here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/llvm-dev/ef3mKzAdJ7U/1shV64BYBAAJ and the detailed RFC doc here: https://github.com/google/llvm-propeller/blob/plo-dev/Propeller_RFC.pdf

This patch provides exception support for basic block sections by splitting the call-site table into call-site ranges corresponding to different basic block sections. Still all landing pads must reside in the same basic block section (which is guaranteed by the the core basic block section patch D73674 (ExceptionSection) ). Each call-site table will refer to the landing pad fragment by explicitly specifying @LPstart (which is omitted in the normal non-basic-block section case). All these call-site tables will share their action and type tables.

The C++ ABI somehow assumes that no landing pads point directly to LPStart (which works in the normal case since the function begin is never a landing pad), and uses LP.offset = 0 to specify no landing pad. In the case of basic block section where one section contains all the landing pads, the landing pad offset relative to LPStart could actually be zero. Thus, we avoid zero-offset landing pads by inserting a **nop** operation as the first non-CFI instruction in the exception section.

**Background on Exception Handling in C++ ABI**
https://github.com/itanium-cxx-abi/cxx-abi/blob/master/exceptions.pdf

Compiler emits an exception table for every function. When an exception is thrown, the stack unwinding library queries the unwind table (which includes the start and end of each function) to locate the exception table for that function.

The exception table includes a call site table for the function, which is used to guide the exception handling runtime to take the appropriate action upon an exception. Each call site record in this table is structured as follows:

| CallSite                       |  -->  Position of the call site (relative to the function entry)
| CallSite length           |  -->  Length of the call site.
| Landing Pad               |  -->  Position of the landing pad (relative to the landing pad fragment’s begin label)
| Action record offset  |  -->  Position of the first action record

The call site records partition a function into different pieces and describe what action must be taken for each callsite. The callsite fields are relative to the start of the function (as captured in the unwind table).

The landing pad entry is a reference into the function and corresponds roughly to the catch block of a try/catch statement. When execution resumes at a landing pad, it receives an exception structure and a selector value corresponding to the type of the exception thrown, and executes similar to a switch-case statement. The landing pad field is relative to the beginning of the procedure fragment which includes all the landing pads (@LPStart). The C++ ABI requires all landing pads to be in the same fragment. Nonetheless, without basic block sections, @LPStart is the same as the function @Start (found in the unwind table) and can be omitted.

The action record offset is an index into the action table which includes information about which exception types are caught.

**C++ Exceptions with Basic Block Sections**
Basic block sections break the contiguity of a function fragment. Therefore, call sites must be specified relative to the beginning of the basic block section. Furthermore, the unwinding library should be able to find the corresponding callsites for each section. To do so, the .cfi_lsda directive for a section must point to the range of call-sites for that section.
This patch introduces a new **CallSiteRange** structure which specifies the range of call-sites which correspond to every section:

  `struct CallSiteRange {
    // Symbol marking the beginning of the precedure fragment.
    MCSymbol *FragmentBeginLabel = nullptr;
    // Symbol marking the end of the procedure fragment.
    MCSymbol *FragmentEndLabel = nullptr;
    // LSDA symbol for this call-site range.
    MCSymbol *ExceptionLabel = nullptr;
    // Index of the first call-site entry in the call-site table which
    // belongs to this range.
    size_t CallSiteBeginIdx = 0;
    // Index just after the last call-site entry in the call-site table which
    // belongs to this range.
    size_t CallSiteEndIdx = 0;
    // Whether this is the call-site range containing all the landing pads.
    bool IsLPRange = false;
  };`

With N basic-block-sections, the call-site table is partitioned into N call-site ranges.

Conceptually, we emit the call-site ranges for sections sequentially in the exception table as if each section has its own exception table. In the example below, two sections result in the two call site ranges (denoted by LSDA1 and LSDA2) placed next to each other. However, their call-sites will refer to records in the shared Action Table. We also emit the header fields (@LPStart and CallSite Table Length) for each call site range in order to place the call site ranges in separate LSDAs. We note that with -basic-block-sections, The CallSiteTableLength will not actually represent the length of the call site table, but rather the reference to the action table. Since the only purpose of this field is to locate the action table, correctness is guaranteed.

Finally, every call site range has one @LPStart pointer so the landing pads of each section must all reside in one section (not necessarily the same section). To make this easier, we decide to place all landing pads of the function in one section (hence the `IsLPRange` field in CallSiteRange).

|  @LPStart                   |  --->  Landing pad fragment     ( LSDA1 points here)
| CallSite Table Length | ---> Used to find the action table.
| CallSites                     |
| …                                 |
| …                                 |
| @LPStart                    |  --->  Landing pad fragment ( LSDA2 points here)
| CallSite Table Length |
| CallSites                     |
| …                                 |
| …                                 |
…
…
|      Action Table          |
|      Types Table           |

// BasicBlockSections implementation.
//
// The purpose of this pass is to assign sections to basic blocks when
// -fbasic-block-sections= option is used. Further, with profile information
// only the subset of basic blocks with profiles are placed in separate sections
// and the rest are grouped in a cold section. The exception handling blocks are
// treated specially to ensure they are all in one seciton.
//
// Basic Block Sections
// ====================
//
// With option, -fbasic-block-sections=list, every function may be split into
// clusters of basic blocks. Every cluster will be emitted into a separate
// section with its basic blocks sequenced in the given order. To get the
// optimized performance, the clusters must form an optimal BB layout for the
// function. Every cluster's section is labeled with a symbol to allow the
// linker to reorder the sections in any arbitrary sequence. A global order of
// these sections would encapsulate the function layout.
//
// There are a couple of challenges to be addressed:
//
// 1. The last basic block of every cluster should not have any implicit
// fallthrough to its next basic block, as it can be reordered by the linker.
// The compiler should make these fallthroughs explicit by adding
// unconditional jumps..
//
// 2. All inter-cluster branch targets would now need to be resolved by the
// linker as they cannot be calculated during compile time. This is done
// using static relocations. Further, the compiler tries to use short branch
// instructions on some ISAs for small branch offsets. This is not possible
// for inter-cluster branches as the offset is not determined at compile
// time, and therefore, long branch instructions have to be used for those.
//
// 3. Debug Information (DebugInfo) and Call Frame Information (CFI) emission
// needs special handling with basic block sections. DebugInfo needs to be
// emitted with more relocations as basic block sections can break a
// function into potentially several disjoint pieces, and CFI needs to be
// emitted per cluster. This also bloats the object file and binary sizes.
//
// Basic Block Labels
// ==================
//
// With -fbasic-block-sections=labels, we emit the offsets of BB addresses of
// every function into a .bb_addr_map section. Along with the function symbols,
// this allows for mapping of virtual addresses in PMU profiles back to the
// corresponding basic blocks. This logic is implemented in AsmPrinter. This
// pass only assigns the BBSectionType of every function to ``labels``.
