This is a preparatory change to expose the debug compression style to
clang. It requires exposing the enumeration and passing the actual
value through to the backend from the frontend in actual value form
rather than a boolean that selects the GNU style of debug info
compression.
Minor tweak to the ELF Object Writer to use a variable for re-used
values. Add an assertion that debug information format is one of the
two currently known types if debug information is being compressed.

This creates a new library called BinaryFormat that has all of
the headers from llvm/Support containing structure and layout
definitions for various types of binary formats like dwarf, coff,
elf, etc as well as the code for identifying a file from its
magic.

I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.
I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.
This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.
Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

Make MCSectionELF::AssociatedSection be a link to a symbol, because
that's how it works in the assembly, and use it in the asm printer.
llvm-svn: 297769
On ELF every section can have a corresponding section symbol. When in
an assembly file we have
.quad .text
the '.text' refers to that symbol.
The way we used to handle them is to leave .text an undefined symbol
until the very end when the object writer would map them to the
actual section symbol.
The problem with that is that anything before the end would see an
undefined symbol. This could result in bad diagnostics
(test/MC/AArch64/label-arithmetic-diags-elf.s), or incorrect results
when using the asm streamer (est/MC/Mips/expansion-jal-sym-pic.s).
Fixing this will also allow using the section symbol earlier for
setting sh_link of SHF_METADATA sections.
This patch includes a few hacks to avoid changing our behaviour when
handling conflicts between section symbols and other symbols. I
reported pr31850 to track that.

We would attempt to access the symbol section without ensuring that the symbol
was not absolute. When the assembler referenced relocation is not evaluated to
the absolute, but when we record the relocation, we would query the section.
Because the symbol is absolute, it does not have a section associated with it,
triggering an assertion. Just be more careful about the access of the section.

Summary:
There seems to have been a misunderstanding as to the meaning of 'offset' in
the rules laid down by our ABI. The previous code believed that 'offset' meant
the offset within the section that the relocation is applied to. However, it
should have meant the offset from the symbol used in the relocation expression.
This patch adds two fields to ELFRelocationEntry and uses them to correct the
order of relocations for MIPS. These fields contain:
* The original symbol before shouldRelocateWithSymbol() is considered. This
ensures that R_MIPS_GOT16 is able to correctly distinguish between local and
external symbols, allowing us to tell whether %got() requires a matching
%lo() or not (local symbols require one, external symbols don't). It also
prevents confusing cases where the fuzzy matching rules cause things like
%hi(foo)/%lo(foo+3) and %hi(bar)/%lo(bar+1) to swap their %lo()'s.
* The original offset before shouldRelocateWithSymbol() is considered. The
existing Addend field is always zero when the object uses in place addends
(because it's already moved it to the encoding) but MIPS needs to use the
original offset to ensure that the linker correctly calculates the carry-in
bit for %hi() and %got().
IAS ensures that unmatchable %hi()/%got() relocations are placed at the end of
the table to ensure that the linker rejects the table (we're unable to report
such errors directly). The alternatives to this risk accidental matching
against inappropriate relocations which may silently compute incorrect values
due to an incorrect carry bit between the %lo() and %hi()/%got().

Summary:
This is much closer to the way MIPS relocation expressions work
(%hi(foo + 2) rather than %hi(foo) + 2) and removes the need for the
various bodges in MipsAsmParser::evaluateRelocExpr().
Removing those bodges ensures that the constant stored in MCValue is the
full 32 or 64-bit (depending on ABI) offset from the symbol. This will be used
to correct the %hi/%lo matching needed to sort the relocation table correctly.
As part of this:
* Gave MCExpr::print() the ability to omit parenthesis when emitting a
symbol reference inside a MipsMCExpr operator like %hi(X). Without this
we print things like %lo(($L1)).
* %hi(%neg(%gprel(X))) is now three MipsMCExpr's instead of one. Most of
the related special cases have been removed or moved to MipsMCExpr. We
can remove the rest as we gain support for the less common relocations
when they are not part of this specific combination.
* Renamed MipsMCExpr::VariantKind and the enum prefix ('VK_') to avoid confusion
with MCSymbolRefExpr::VariantKind and its prefix (also 'VK_').
* fixup_Mips_GOT_Local and fixup_Mips_GOT_Global were found to be identical
and merged into fixup_Mips_GOT.
* MO_GOT16 and MO_GOT turned out to be identical and have been merged into
MO_GOT.
* VK_Mips_GOT and VK_Mips_GOT16 turned out to be the same thing so they
have been merged into MEK_GOT

llvm-svn: 268379
This is a fix for PR26941.
When there is both a section and a global definition with the same
name, the global wins.
Section symbols are not added to the symbol table; section references
are left undefined and fixed up in the object writer unless they've
been satisfied by some other definition.
llvm-svn: 264649
When a symbol S shows up in an expression in assembly there are two
possible interpretations
* The expression is referring to the value of S in this file.
* The expression is referring to the value after symbol resolution.
In the first case the assembler can reason about the value and try to
produce a relocation.
In the second case, that is only possible if the symbol cannot be
preempted.
Assemblers are not very consistent about which interpretation gets used.
This changes MC to agree with GAS in the case of an expression of the
form "Sym - WeakSym".
llvm-svn: 258329
These days relocations are created and stored in a deterministic way.
The order they are created is also suitable for the .o file, so we don't
need an explicit sort.
The last remaining exception is MIPS.
llvm-svn: 255902
Currently, if the assembler encounters an error after parsing (such as an
out-of-range fixup), it reports this as a fatal error, and so stops after the
first error. However, for most of these there is an obvious way to recover
after emitting the error, such as emitting the fixup with a value of zero. This
means that we can report on all of the errors in a file, not just the first
one. MCContext::reportError records the fact that an error was encountered, so
we won't actually emit an object file with the incorrect contents.

In this mode it just tries to tail merge the strings without imposing any other
format constrains. It will not, for example, add a null byte between them.
Also add support for keeping a tentative size and offset if we decide to
not optimize after all.
This will be used shortly in lld for merging SHF_STRINGS sections.
llvm-svn: 251153
This extends the work done in r233995 so that now getFragment (in addition to
getSection) also works for variable symbols.
With that the existing logic to decide if a-b can be computed works even if
a or b are variables. Given that, the expression evaluation can avoid expanding
variables as aggressively and that in turn lets the relocation code see the
original variable.
In order for this to work with the asm streamer, there is now a dummy fragment
per section. It is used to assign a section to a symbol when no other fragment
exists.
This patch is a joint work by Maxim Ostapenko andy myself.
llvm-svn: 249303
There are occasions where it is useful to consider the entirety of the
contents of a section. For example, compressed debug info needs the
entire section available before it can compress it and write it out.
The compressed debug info scenario was previously implemented by
mirroring the implementation of writeSectionData in the ELFObjectWriter.
Instead, allow the output stream to be swapped on demand. This lets
callers redirect the output stream to a more convenient location before
it hits the object file.
No functionality change is intended.

Section symbols exist as an optimization: instead of having multiple relocations
point to different symbols, many of them can point to a single section symbol.
When that optimization is unused, a section symbol is also unused and adds no
extra information to the object file.
This saves a bit of space on the object files and makes the output of
llvm-objdump -t easier to read and consequently some tests get quite a bit
simpler.

ELF has no restrictions on where undefined symbols go relative to other defined

Both MCStreamer and MCObjectStreamer were maintaining a current section
variable and they were slightly out of sync. I don't think this was observable,
but was inefficient and error prone.
Changing this requires a few cascading changes:
* SwitchSection has to call ChangeSection earlier for ChangeSection to see
the old section.
* With that change, ChangeSection cannot call EmitLabel, since during
ChangeSection we are still in the old section.
* When the object streamer requires a begin label, just reused the existing
generic support for begin labels instead of calling EmitLabel directly.
llvm-svn: 238357
Normally an ELF .o has two string tables, one for symbols, one for section
names.
With the scheme of naming sections like ".text.foo" where foo is a symbol,
there is a big potential saving in using a single one.
Building llvm+clang+lld with master and with this patch the results were:
master: 193,267,008 bytes
patch: 186,107,952 bytes
master non unique section names: 183,260,192 bytes
patch non unique section names: 183,118,632 bytes
So using non usique saves 10,006,816 bytes, and the patch saves 7,159,056 while
still using distinct names for the sections.
llvm-svn: 238073
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.

This is actually fairly simple in the current code layout: Check if we should
compress just before writing out and everything else just works.
This removes the last case in which the object writer was creating a
fragment.
llvm-svn: 236267
During ELF writing, there is no need to further relax the sections, so we
should not be creating fragments. This patch avoids doing so in all cases
but debug section compression (that is next).
Also, the ELF format is fairly simple to write. We can do a single pass over
the sections to write them out and compute the section header table.
llvm-svn: 236235
Instead of accumulating the content in a fragment first, just write it
to the output stream.

Similar to r235222, but for the weak symbol case.
In an "ideal" assembler/object format an expression would always refer to the
final value and A-B would only be computed from a section in the same
comdat as A and B with A and B strong.
Unfortunately that is not the case with debug info on ELF, so we need an
heuristic. Since we need an heuristic, we may as well use the same one as
gas:
* call weak_sym : produces a relocation, even if in the same section.
* A - weak_sym and weak_sym -A: don't produce a relocation if we can
compute it.
This fixes pr23272 and changes the fix of pr22815 to match what gas does.
llvm-svn: 235227
Part of pr23272.
A small annoyance with the assembly syntax we implement is that given an
expression there is no way to know if what is desired is the value of that
expression for the symbols in this file or for the final values of those
symbols in a link.
The first case is useful for use in sections that get discarded or ignored
if the section they are describing is discarded.
For axample, consider A-B where A and B are in the same comdat section.
We can compute the value of the difference in the section that is present in
the current .o and if that section survives to the final DSO the value will
still will be correct.
But the section is in a comdat. Another section from another object file
might be used istead. We know that that section will define A and B, but
we have no idea what the value of A-B might be.
In practice we have to assume that the intention is to compute the value
in the current section since otherwise the is no way to create something like
the debug aranges section.
