This modified patch avoids redirecting the unit in which a subprogram is
created if type units are enabled -- DIEs were getting children allocated
from different units memory pools. Original commit message:
[DWARF] Create subprogram's DIE in DISubprogram's unit
This is a fix for PR48790. Over in D70350, subprogram DIEs were permitted
to be shared between CUs. However, the creation of a subprogram DIE can be
triggered early, from other CUs. The subprogram definition is then created
in one CU, and when the function is actually emitted children are attached
to the subprogram that expect to be in another CU. This breaks internal CU
references in the children.
Fix this by redirecting the creation of subprogram DIEs in
getOrCreateContextDIE to the CU specified by it's DISubprogram definition.
This ensures that the subprogram DIE is always created in the correct CU.

DwarfDebug::collectEntityInfo accidentally distinguishes between variable
locations that never have a location specified, and variable locations that
have an empty location specified. The latter leads to the creation of an
empty variable referring to the abstract origin.
Fix this by seeking a non-empty location before producing a concrete
entity, to guarantee a DW_AT_location will be produced. Other loops in
collectEntityInfo and endFunctionImpl take care of examining the
retainedNodes collection and ensuring optimised-out variables are created.

Experimental, using non-existent DWARF support to use an expr for the
location involving an addr_index (to compute address + offset so
addresses can be reused in more places).
The global variable debug info had to be deferred until the end of the
module (so bss variables would all be emitted first - so their labels
would have the relevant section). Non-bss variables seemed to not have
their label assigned to a section even at the end of the module, so I
didn't know what to do there.
Also, the hashing code is broken - doesn't know how to hash these
expressions (& isn't hashing anything inside subprograms, which seems
problematic), so for test purposes this change just skips the hash
computation. (GCC's actually overly sensitive in its hash function, it
seems - I'm forgetting the specific case right now - anyway, we might
want to just use the frontend-known file hash and give up on optimistic
.dwo/.dwp reuse)

A struct in C passed by value did not get debug information. Such values are currently
lowered to a Wasm local even in -O0 (not to an alloca like on other archs), which becomes
a Target Index operand (TI_LOCAL). The DWARF writing code was not emitting locations
in for TI's specifically if the location is a single range (not a list).
In addition, the ExplicitLocals pass which removes the ARGUMENT pseudo instructions did
not update the associated DBG_VALUEs, and couldn't even find these values since the code
assumed such instructions are adjacent, which is not the case here.

Given the ability provided by DWARFv5 rnglists to reuse addresses in the
address pool, it can be advantageous to object file size to use range
encodings even when the range could be described by a direct low/high
pc.
Add a flag to allow enabling this in DWARFv5 for the purpose of
experimentation/data gathering.
It might be that it makes sense to enable this functionality by default
for DWARFv5 + Split DWARF at least, where the tradeoff/desire to
optimize for .o file size is more explicit and .o bytes are higher
priority than .dwo bytes.
Current implementation assumes that, each MachineConstantPoolValue takes
up sizeof(MachineConstantPoolValue::Ty) bytes. For PowerPC, we want to
lump all the constants with the same type as one MachineConstantPoolValue
to save the cost that calculate the TOC entry for each const. So, we need
to extend the MachineConstantPoolValue that break this assumption.

The idea is that the CC1 default for ELF should set dso_local on default
visibility external linkage definitions in the default -mrelocation-model pic
mode (-fpic/-fPIC) to match COFF/Mach-O and make output IR similar.
The refactoring is made available by 2820a2ca3a.
Currently only x86 supports local aliases. We move the decision to the driver.
There are three CC1 states:
* -fsemantic-interposition: make some linkages interposable and make default visibility external linkage definitions dso_preemptable.
* (default): selected if the target supports .Lfoo$local: make default visibility external linkage definitions dso_local
* -fhalf-no-semantic-interposition: if neither option is set or the target does not support .Lfoo$local: like -fno-semantic-interposition but local aliases are not used. So references can be interposed if not optimized out.
Add -fhalf-no-semantic-interposition to a few tests using the half-based semantic interposition behavior.
Currently using DW_OP_implicit_value in fragments produces invalid DWARF
expressions. (Such a case can occur in complex floats, for example.)
This problem manifests itself as a missing DW_OP_piece operation after
the last fragment. This happens because the function for printing
constant float value skips printing the accompanying DWARF expression,
as that would also print DW_OP_stack_value (which is not desirable in
this case). However, this also results in DW_OP_piece being skipped.
The reason that DW_OP_piece is missing only for the last piece is that
the act of printing the next fragment corrects this. However, it does
that for the wrong reason -- the code emitting this DW_OP_piece thinks
that the previous fragment was missing, and so it thinks that it needs
to skip over it in order to be able to print itself.
In a simple scenario this works out, but it's likely that in a more
complex setup (where some pieces are in fact missing), this logic would
go badly wrong. In a simple setup gdb also seems to not mind the fact
that the DW_OP_piece is missing, but it would also likely not handle
more complex use cases.
For this reason, this patch disables the usage of DW_OP_implicit_value
in the frament scenario (we will use DW_OP_const*** instead), until we
figure out the right way to deal with this. This guarantees that we
produce valid expressions, and gdb can handle both kinds of inputs
anyway.

This change implements pseudo probe encoding and emission for CSSPGO. Please see RFC here for more context: https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/1p1rdYbL93s
Pseudo probes are in the form of intrinsic calls on IR/MIR but they do not turn into any machine instructions. Instead they are emitted into the binary as a piece of data in standalone sections. The probe-specific sections are not needed to be loaded into memory at execution time, thus they do not incur a runtime overhead.
**ELF object emission**
The binary data to emit are organized as two ELF sections, i.e, the `.pseudo_probe_desc` section and the `.pseudo_probe` section. The `.pseudo_probe_desc` section stores a function descriptor for each function and the `.pseudo_probe` section stores the actual probes, each fo which corresponds to an IR basic block or an IR function callsite. A function descriptor is stored as a module-level metadata during the compilation and is serialized into the object file during object emission.
Both the probe descriptors and pseudo probes can be emitted into a separate ELF section per function to leverage the linker for deduplication. A `.pseudo_probe` section shares the same COMDAT group with the function code so that when the function is dead, the probes are dead and disposed too. On the contrary, a `.pseudo_probe_desc` section has its own COMDAT group. This is because even if a function is dead, its probes may be inlined into other functions and its descriptor is still needed by the profile generation tool.
The format of `.pseudo_probe_desc` section looks like:
```
.section .pseudo_probe_desc,"",@progbits
.quad 6309742469962978389 // Func GUID
.quad 4294967295 // Func Hash
.byte 9 // Length of func name
.ascii "_Z5funcAi" // Func name

.quad -2016976694713209516
.quad 72617220756
.byte 7
.ascii "_Z3fibi"
```
For each `.pseudoprobe` section, the encoded binary data consists of a single function record corresponding to an outlined function (i.e, a function with a code entry in the `.text` section). A function record has the following format :
```
FUNCTION BODY (one for each outlined function present in the text section)
GUID (uint64)
GUID of the function
NPROBES (ULEB128)
Number of probes originating from this function.
NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS (ULEB128)
Number of callees inlined into this function, aka number of
first-level inlinees
PROBE RECORDS
A list of NPROBES entries. Each entry contains:
INDEX (ULEB128)
TYPE (uint4)
0 - block probe, 1 - indirect call, 2 - direct call
ATTRIBUTE (uint3)
reserved
ADDRESS_TYPE (uint1)
0 - code address, 1 - address delta
CODE_ADDRESS (uint64 or ULEB128)
code address or address delta, depending on ADDRESS_TYPE
INLINED FUNCTION RECORDS
A list of NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS entries describing each of the inlined
callees. Each record contains:
INLINE SITE
GUID of the inlinee (uint64)
ID of the callsite probe (ULEB128)
FUNCTION BODY
A FUNCTION BODY entry describing the inlined function.
```
To support building a context-sensitive profile, probes from inlinees are grouped by their inline contexts. An inline context is logically a call path through which a callee function lands in a caller function. The probe emitter builds an inline tree based on the debug metadata for each outlined function in the form of a trie tree. A tree root is the outlined function. Each tree edge stands for a callsite where inlining happens. Pseudo probes originating from an inlinee function are stored in a tree node and the tree path starting from the root all the way down to the tree node is the inline context of the probes. The emission happens on the whole tree top-down recursively. Probes of a tree node will be emitted altogether with their direct parent edge. Since a pseudo probe corresponds to a real code address, for size savings, the address is encoded as a delta from the previous probe except for the first probe. Variant-sized integer encoding, aka LEB128, is used for address delta and probe index.
**Assembling**
Pseudo probes can be printed as assembly directives alternatively. This allows for good assembly code readability and also provides a view of how optimizations and pseudo probes affect each other, especially helpful for diff time assembly analysis.
A pseudo probe directive has the following operands in order: function GUID, probe index, probe type, probe attributes and inline context. The directive is generated by the compiler and can be parsed by the assembler to form an encoded `.pseudoprobe` section in the object file.
A example assembly looks like:
```

# %bb.0: # %bb0

that don't handle exceptions, which allows such functions to use
the AArch64 packed unwind format again.

This patch moves the selection of the style used to emit the numbers
(DW_OP_implicit_value vs. DW_OP_const+DW_OP_stack_value) into
DwarfExpression::addUnsignedConstant. This logic is not FP-specific, and
it will be needed for large integers too.
The refactor also makes DW_OP_implicit_value (DW_OP_stack_value worked
already) be used for floating point constants other than float and
double, so I've added a _Float16 test for it.
Split off from D90916.

All these potential null pointer dereferences are reported by my static analyzer for null smart pointer dereferences, which has a different implementation from `alpha.cplusplus.SmartPtr`.
The checked pointers in this patch are initialized by Target::createXXX functions. When the creator function pointer is not correctly set, a null pointer will be returned, or the creator function may originally return a null pointer.
Some of them may not make sense as they may be checked before entering the function, but I fixed them all in this patch. I submit this fix because 1) similar checks are found in some other places in the LLVM codebase for the same return value of the function; and, 2) some of the pointers are dereferenced before they are checked, which may definitely trigger a null pointer dereference if the return value is nullptr.

The `dso_local_equivalent` constant is a wrapper for functions that represents a
value which is functionally equivalent to the global passed to this. That is, if
this accepts a function, calling this constant should have the same effects as
calling the function directly. This could be a direct reference to the function,
the `@plt` modifier on X86/AArch64, a thunk, or anything that's equivalent to the
resolved function as a call target.
When lowered, the returned address must have a constant offset at link time from
some other symbol defined within the same binary. The address of this value is
also insignificant. The name is leveraged from `dso_local` where use of a function
or variable is resolved to a symbol in the same linkage unit.
In this patch:
- Addition of `dso_local_equivalent` and handling it
- Update Constant::needsRelocation() to strip constant inbound GEPs and take
advantage of `dso_local_equivalent` for relative references
This is useful for the [Relative VTables C++ ABI](https://reviews.llvm.org/D72959)
which makes vtables readonly. This works by replacing the dynamic relocations for
function pointers in them with static relocations that represent the offset between
the vtable and virtual functions. If a function is externally defined,
`dso_local_equivalent` can be used as a generic wrapper for the function to still
allow for this static offset calculation to be done.
