Previously we emitted 20-byte SHA1 hashes. This is overkill
for identifying debug info records, and has the negative side
effect of making object files bigger and links slower. By
using only the last 8 bytes of a SHA1, we get smaller object
files and ~10% faster links.
This modifies the format of the .debug$H section by adding a new
value for the hash algorithm field, so that the linker will still
work when its object files have an old format.

When investigating bugs in PDB generation, the first step is
often to do the same link with link.exe and then compare PDBs.
But comparing PDBs is hard because two completely different byte
sequences can both be correct, so it hampers the investigation when
you also have to spend time figuring out not just which bytes are
different, but also if the difference is meaningful.
This patch fixes a couple of cases related to string table emission,
hash table emission, and the order in which we emit strings that
makes more of our bytes the same as the bytes generated by MS PDBs.

Natvis is a debug language supported by Visual Studio for
specifying custom visualizers. The /NATVIS option is an
undocumented link.exe flag which will take a .natvis file
and "inject" it into the PDB. This way, you can ship the
debug visualizers for a program along with the PDB, which
is very useful for postmortem debugging.
This is implemented by adding a new "named stream" to the
PDB with a special name of /src/files/<natvis file name>
and simply copying the contents of the xml into this file.
Additionally, we need to emit a single stream named
/src/headerblock which contains a hash table of embedded
files to records describing them.
This patch adds this functionality, including the /NATVIS
option to lld-link.

Qualifiers on a pointer or reference type may apply to either the
pointee or the pointer itself. Consider 'const char *' and 'char *
const'. In the first example, the pointee data may not be modified
without casts, and in the second example, the pointer may not be updated
to point to new data.
In the general case, qualifiers are applied to types with LF_MODIFIER
records, which support the usual const and volatile qualifiers as well
as the __unaligned extension qualifier.
However, LF_POINTER records, which are used for pointers, references,
and member pointers, have flags for qualifiers applying to the
*pointer*. In fact, this is the only way to represent the restrict
qualifier, which can only apply to pointers, and cannot qualify regular
data types.
This patch causes LLVM to correctly fold 'const' and 'volatile' pointer
qualifiers into the pointer record, as well as adding support for
'__restrict' qualifiers in the same place.

This was storing the hash alongside the key so that the hash
doesn't need to be re-computed every time, but in doing so it
was allocating a structure to keep the key size small in the
DenseMap. This is a noble goal, but it also leads to a pointer
indirection on every probe, and this cost of this pointer
indirection ends up being higher than the cost of having a
slightly larger entry in the hash table. Removing this not only
simplifies the code, but yields a small but noticeable
performance improvement in the type merging algorithm.
llvm-svn: 319493
This class had some code that would automatically remap type
indices before hashing and serializing. The only caller of
this method was the TypeStreamMerger anyway, and the method
doesn't make general sense, and prevents making certain future
improvements to the class. So, factoring this up one level
into the TypeStreamMerger where it belongs.
llvm-svn: 319377
A couple of places in LLD were passing references to
TypeTableCollections around, which makes it hard to change the
implementation at runtime. However, these cases only needed to
iterate over the types in the collection, and TypeCollection
already provides a handy abstract interface for this purpose.
By implementing this interface, we can get rid of the need to
pass TypeTableBuilder references around, which should allow us
to swap the implementation at runtime in subsequent patches.
llvm-svn: 319345
The motivation behind this patch is that future directions require us to
be able to compute the hash value of records independently of actually
using them for de-duplication.
The current structure of TypeSerializer / TypeTableBuilder being a
single entry point that takes an unserialized type record, and then
hashes and de-duplicates it is not flexible enough to allow this.
At the same time, the existing TypeSerializer is already extremely
complex for this very reason -- it tries to be too many things. In
addition to serializing, hashing, and de-duplicating, ti also supports
splitting up field list records and adding continuations. All of this
functionality crammed into this one class makes it very complicated to
work with and hard to maintain.
To solve all of these problems, I've re-written everything from scratch
and split the functionality into separate pieces that can easily be
reused. The end result is that one class TypeSerializer is turned into 3
new classes SimpleTypeSerializer, ContinuationRecordBuilder, and
TypeTableBuilder, each of which in isolation is simple and
straightforward.
A quick summary of these new classes and their responsibilities are:
- SimpleTypeSerializer : Turns a non-FieldList leaf type into a series of
bytes. Does not do any hashing. Every time you call it, it will
re-serialize and return bytes again. The same instance can be re-used
over and over to avoid re-allocations, and in exchange for this
optimization the bytes returned by the serializer only live until the
caller attempts to serialize a new record.
- ContinuationRecordBuilder : Turns a FieldList-like record into a series
of fragments. Does not do any hashing. Like SimpleTypeSerializer,
returns references to privately owned bytes, so the storage is
invalidated as soon as the caller tries to re-use the instance. Works
equally well for LF_FIELDLIST as it does for LF_METHODLIST, solving a
long-standing theoretical limitation of the previous implementation.
- TypeTableBuilder : Accepts sequences of bytes that the user has already
serialized, and inserts them by de-duplicating with a hash table. For
the sake of convenience and efficiency, this class internally stores a
SimpleTypeSerializer so that it can accept unserialized records. The
same is not true of ContinuationRecordBuilder. The user is required to
create their own instance of ContinuationRecordBuilder.

We have llvm-readobj for dumping CodeView from object files, and
llvm-pdbutil has always been more focused on PDB. However,
llvm-pdbutil has a lot of useful options for summarizing debug
information in aggregate and presenting high level statistical
views. Furthermore, it's arguably better as a testing tool since
we don't have to write tests to conform to a state-machine like
structure where you match multiple lines in succession, each
depending on a previous match. llvm-pdbutil dumps much more
concisely, so it's possible to use single-line matches in many
cases where as with readobj tests you have to use multi-line
matches with an implicit state machine.
Because of this, I'm adding object file support to llvm-pdbutil.
In fact, this mirrors the cvdump tool from Microsoft, which also
supports both object files and pdb files. In the future we could
perhaps rename this tool llvm-cvutil.
In the meantime, this allows us to deep dive into object files
the same way we already can with PDB files.

When dumping, we were treating the S_INLINESITESYM as referring

had this correct in TypeIndexDiscovery, so our merging algorithm
should be fine, but we had it wrong in the dumper, which means it
would appear to work most of the time, unless the index was out
of bounds in the type stream, when it would fail. Fixed this, and
audited a few other cases to make them match the behavior in
TypeIndexDiscovery.
Also, I've now observed a new symbol record with kind 0x1168 which
I have no clue what it is, so to avoid crashing we have to just

The compiler outputs PROC32_ID symbols into the object files
for functions, and these symbols have an embedded type index
which, when copied to the PDB, refer to the IPI stream. However,
the symbols themselves are also converted into regular symbols
(e.g. S_GPROC32_ID -> S_GPROC32), and type indices in the regular
symbol records refer to the TPI stream. So this patch applies
two fixes to function records.
1. It converts ID symbols to the proper non-ID record type.
2. After remapping the type index from the object file's index
space to the PDB file/IPI stream's index space, it then
remaps that index to the TPI stream's index space by.
Besides functions, during the remapping process we were also
discarding symbol record types which we did not recognize.
In particular, we were discarding S_BPREL32 records, which is
what MSVC uses to describe local variables on the stack. So
this patch fixes that as well by copying them to the PDB.

The PDB "symbol stream" actually contains symbol records for the publics
and the globals stream. The globals and publics streams are essentially
hash tables that point into a single stream of records. In order to
match cvdump's behavior, we need to only dump symbol records referenced
from the hash table. This patch implements that, and then implements
global stream dumping, since it's just a subset of public stream
dumping.
Now we shouldn't see S_PROCREF or S_GDATA32 records when dumping
publics, and instead we should see those record in the globals stream.

Type records have a unique type index, but symbol records do

references are in the symbol records. I added an overload of

This class was only being used in 2 places, so getting rid of it
simplifies the code.
llvm-svn: 305653
Suppose we had a type index offsets array with a boundary at type index
N. Then you request the name of the type with index N+1, and that name
requires the name of index N-1 (think a parameter list, for example). We
didn't handle this, and we would print something like (<unknown UDT>,
<unknown UDT>).
The fix for this is not entirely trivial, and speaks to a larger
problem. I think we need to kill TypeDatabase, or at the very least kill
TypeDatabaseVisitor. We need a thing that doesn't do any caching
whatsoever, just given a type index it can compute the type name "the
slow way". The reason for the bug is that we don't have anything like
that. Everything goes through the type database, and if we've visited a
record, then we're "done". It doesn't know how to do the expensive thing
of re-visiting dependent records if they've not yet been visited.
What I've done here is more or less copied the code (albeit greatly
simplified) from TypeDatabaseVisitor, but wrapped it in an interface
that just returns a std::string. The logic of caching the name is now in
LazyRandomTypeCollection. Eventually I'd like to move the record
database here as well and the visited record bitfield here as well, at
which point we can actually just delete TypeDatabase. I don't see any
reason for it if a "sequential" collection is just a special case of a
random access collection with an empty partial offsets array.

After some internal discussions, we agreed that the raw output style had
outlived its usefulness. It was originally created before we had even
thought of dumping to YAML, and it was intended to give us some insight
into the internals of a PDB file. Now we have YAML mode which does
almost exactly this but is more powerful in that it can round-trip back
to a PDB, which the raw mode could not do. So the raw mode had become
purely a maintenance burden.
One option was to just delete it. However, its original goal was to be
as readable as possible while staying close to the "metal" - i.e.
presenting the output in a way that maps directly to the underlying file
format. We don't actually need that last requirement anymore since it's
covered by the yaml mode, so we could repurpose "raw" mode to actually
just be as readable as possible.
This patch implements about 80% of the functionality previously in raw
mode, but in a completely different style that is more akin to what
cvdump outputs. Records are very compressed, often times appearing on
just one line. One nice thing about this is that it makes full record
matching easier, because you can grep for indices, names, and leaf types
on a single line often.
See the tests for some examples of what the new output looks like.
Note that this patch actually regresses the functionality of raw mode in
a few areas, but only because the patch was already unreasonably large
and going 100% would have been even worse. Specifically, this patch is
missing:
The ability to dump module debug subsections (checksums, lines, etc)
The ability to dump section headers
Aside from that everything is here. While goign through the tests fixing
them all up, I found many duplicate tests. They've been deleted. In

This adds support for Symbols, StringTable, and FrameData subsection

file (they are usually in object files), there's no theoretical reason
why they *couldn't* appear in a PDB. The real issue though is that in
order to add support for dumping and writing them (which will be useful
for object files), we need a way to test them. And since there is no
support for reading and writing them to / from object files yet, making
PDB support them is the best way to both add support for the underlying

Added a test for this by modifying the existing PDB -> YAML -> PDB
round-tripping code to round trip symbol records as well as types.

This is the beginning of an effort to move the codeview yaml
reader / writer into ObjectYAML so that it can be shared.
Currently the only consumer / producer of CodeView YAML is
llvm-pdbdump, but CodeView can exist outside of PDB files, and
indeed is put into object files and passed to the linker to
produce PDB files. Furthermore, there are subtle differences
in the types of records that show up in object file CodeView
vs PDB file CodeView, but they are otherwise 99% the same.
By having this code in ObjectYAML, we can have llvm-pdbdump
reuse this code, while teaching obj2yaml and yaml2obj to use
this syntax for dealing with object files that can contain
CodeView.
This patch only adds support for CodeView type information
to ObjectYAML. Subsequent patches will add support for
CodeView symbol information.

This adds implementations for Symbols and FrameData, and renames
the existing codeview::StringTable class to conform to the
DebugSectionStringTable convention.

Merging two type streams is one of the most time consuming
parts of generating a PDB, and as such it needs to be as
fast as possible. The visitor abstractions used for interoperating
nicely with many different types of inputs and outputs have
been used widely and help greatly for testability and implementing
tools, but the abstractions build up and get in the way of
performance.
This patch removes all of the visitation stuff from the type
stream merger, essentially re-inventing the leaf / member switch
and loop, but at a very low level. This allows us many other
optimizations, such as not actually deserializing *any* records
(even member records which don't describe their own length), as
the operation of "figure out how long this record is" is somewhat
faster than "figure out how long this record *and* get all its
fields out". Furthermore, whereas before we had to deserialize,
re-write type indices, then re-serialize, now we don't have to
do any of those 3 steps. We just find out where the type indices
are and pull them directly out of the byte stream and re-write
them.
This is worth a 50-60% performance increase. On top of all other
optimizations that have been applied this week, I now get the
following numbers when linking lld.exe and lld.pdb
MSVC: 25.67s
Before This Patch: 18.59s
After This Patch: 8.92s
So this is a huge performance win.

Previously, every time we wanted to serialize a field list record, we
would create a new copy of FieldListRecordBuilder, which would in turn
create a temporary instance of TypeSerializer, which itself had a
std::vector<> that was about 128K in size. So this 128K allocation was
happening every time. We can re-use the same instance over and over, we
just have to clear its internal hash table and seen records list between
each run. This saves us from the constant re-allocations.
This is worth an ~18.5% speed increase (3.75s -> 3.05s) in my tests.

A profile shows the majority of time doing type merging is spent
deserializing records from sequences of bytes into friendly C++ structures
that we can easily access members of in order to find the type indices to
re-write.
Records are prefixed with their length, however, and most records have
type indices that appear at fixed offsets in the record. For these
records, we can save some cycles by just looking at the right place in the
byte sequence and re-writing the value, then skipping the record in the
type stream. This saves us from the costly deserialization of examining
every field, including potentially null terminated strings which are the
slowest, even though it was unnecessary to begin with.
In addition, we apply another optimization. Previously, after
deserializing a record and re-writing its type indices, we would
unconditionally re-serialize it in order to compute the hash of the
re-written record. This would result in an alloc and memcpy for every
record. If no type indices were re-written, however, this was an
unnecessary allocation. In this patch re-writing is made two phase. The
first phase discovers the indices that need to be rewritten and their new
values. This information is passed through to the de-duplication code,
which only copies and re-writes type indices in the serialized byte
sequence if at least one type index is different.
Some records have type indices which only appear after variable length
strings, or which have lists of type indices, or various other situations
that can make it tricky to make this optimization. While I'm not giving up
on optimizing these cases as well, for now we can get the easy cases out
of the way and lay the groundwork for more complicated cases later.
This patch yields another 50% speedup on top of the already large speedups
submitted over the past 2 days. In two tests I have run, I went from 9
seconds to 3 seconds, and from 16 seconds to 8 seconds.

LazyRandomTypeCollection is designed for random access, and in
order to provide this it lazily indexes ranges of types. In the
case of types from an object file, there is no partial index
to build off of, so it has to index the full stream up front.
However, merging types only requires sequential access, and when
that is needed, this extra work is simply wasted. Changing the
algorithm to work on sequential arrays of types rather than
random access type collections eliminates this up front scan.

When writing field list records, we would construct a temporary
type serializer that shared a bump ptr allocator with the rest
of the application, so anything allocated from here would live
forever. Furthermore, this temporary serializer had all the
properties of a full blown serializer including record hashing
and de-duplication.
These features are required when you're merging multiple type
streams into each other, because different streams may contain
identical records, but records from the same type stream will
never collide with each other. So all of this hashing was
unnecessary.
To solve this, two fixes are made:
1) The temporary serializer keeps its own bump ptr allocator
instead of sharing a global one. When it's finished, all of
its memory is freed.
2) Instead of using the same temporary serializer for the life
of an entire type stream, we use it only for the life of a single
field list record and delete it when the field list record is
completed. This way the hash table will not grow as other
records from the same type stream get inserted. Further improvements
could eliminate hashing entirely from this codepath.
This reduces the link time by 85% in my test, from 1 minute to 9
seconds.

Summary:
First, StringMap uses llvm::HashString, which is only good for short
identifiers and really bad for large blobs of binary data like type
records. Moving to `DenseMap<StringRef, TypeIndex>` with some tricks for
memory allocation fixes that.
Unfortunately, that didn't buy very much performance. Profiling showed
that we spend a long time during DenseMap growth rehashing existing
entries. Also, in general, DenseMap is faster when the keys are small.
This change takes that to the logical conclusion by introducing a small
wrapper value type around a pointer to key data. The key data contains a
precomputed hash, the original record data (pointer and size), and the
type index, which is the "value" of our original map.
This reduces the time to produce llvm-as.exe and llvm-as.pdb from ~15s
on my machine to 3.5s, which is about a 4x improvement.

Previous algotirhm assumed that types and ids are in a single
unified stream. For inputs that come from object files, this
is the case. But if the input is already a PDB, or is the result
of a previous merge, then the types and ids will already have
been split up, in which case we need an algorithm that can
accept operate on independent streams of types and ids that
refer across stream boundaries to each other.

This was originally reverted because it was a breaking a bunch
of bots and the breakage was not surfacing on Windows. After much
head-scratching this was ultimately traced back to a bug in the
lit test runner related to its pipe handling. Now that the bug
in lit is fixed, Windows correctly reports these test failures,
and as such I have finally (hopefully) fixed all of them in this
patch.

This is a squash of ~5 reverts of, well, pretty much everything
I did today. Something is seriously broken with lit on Windows
right now, and as a result assertions that fire in tests are
triggering failures. I've been breaking non-Windows bots all
day which has seriously confused me because all my tests have
been passing, and after running lit with -a to view the output
even on successful runs, I find out that the tool is crashing
and yet lit is still reporting it as a success!
At this point I don't even know where to start, so rather than
leave the tree broken for who knows how long, I will get this
back to green, and then once lit is fixed on Windows, hopefully
hopefully fix the remaining set of problems for real.
