DWARF5 spec says about single file split case:
"The sections that do not require relocation, however, can be written
to the relocatable object (.o) file but ignored by the
the linker or they can be written to a separate DWARF object (.dwo) file
that need not be accessed by the linker."
Nice way to make linker to ignore them is to set SHF_EXCLUDE flag.
It seems to be not harmful to always set it for .dwo sections.
That is what this patch does.

This patch adds the ability for processor models to describe dependency breaking
instructions.
Different processors may specify a different set of dependency-breaking
instructions.
That means, we cannot assume that all processors of the same target would use
the same rules to classify dependency breaking instructions.
The main goal of this patch is to provide the means to describe dependency
breaking instructions directly via tablegen, and have the following
TargetSubtargetInfo hooks redefined in overrides by tabegen'd
XXXGenSubtargetInfo classes (here, XXX is a Target name).
```
virtual bool isZeroIdiom(const MachineInstr *MI, APInt &Mask) const {
return false;
}
virtual bool isDependencyBreaking(const MachineInstr *MI, APInt &Mask) const {
return isZeroIdiom(MI);
}
```
An instruction MI is a dependency-breaking instruction if a call to method
isDependencyBreaking(MI) on the STI (TargetSubtargetInfo object) evaluates to
true. Similarly, an instruction MI is a special case of zero-idiom dependency
breaking instruction if a call to STI.isZeroIdiom(MI) returns true.
The extra APInt is used for those targets that may want to select which machine
operands have their dependency broken (see comments in code).
Note that by default, subtargets don't know about the existence of
dependency-breaking. In the absence of external information, those method calls
would always return false.
A new tablegen class named STIPredicate has been added by this patch to let
processor models classify instructions that have properties in common. The idea
is that, a MCInstrPredicate definition can be used to "generate" an instruction
equivalence class, with the idea that instructions of a same class all have a
property in common.
STIPredicate definitions are essentially a collection of instruction equivalence
classes.
Also, different processor models can specify a different variant of the same
STIPredicate with different rules (i.e. predicates) to classify instructions.
Tablegen backends (in this particular case, the SubtargetEmitter) will be able
to process STIPredicate definitions, and automatically generate functions in
XXXGenSubtargetInfo.
This patch introduces two special kind of STIPredicate classes named
IsZeroIdiomFunction and IsDepBreakingFunction in tablegen. It also adds a
definition for those in the BtVer2 scheduling model only.
This patch supersedes the one committed at r338372 (phabricator review: D49310).
The main advantages are:
- We can describe subtarget predicates via tablegen using STIPredicates.
- We can describe zero-idioms / dep-breaking instructions directly via
tablegen in the scheduling models.
In future, the STIPredicates framework can be used for solving other problems.
Examples of future developments are:
- Teach how to identify optimizable register-register moves
- Teach how to identify slow LEA instructions (each subtarget defining its own
concept of "slow" LEA).
- Teach how to identify instructions that have undocumented false dependencies
on the output registers on some processors only.
It is also (in my opinion) an elegant way to expose knowledge to both external
tools like llvm-mca, and codegen passes.
For example, machine schedulers in LLVM could reuse that information when
internally constructing the data dependency graph for a code region.
This new design feature is also an "opt-in" feature. Processor models don't have
to use the new STIPredicates. It has all been designed to be as unintrusive as
possible.

I am experimenting with a single split dwarf (.dwo sections in .o files).
I want to make linker to ignore .dwo sections in .o, for that I am trying to add
SHF_EXCLUDE flag ("E") for them in my asm sample.
I found that currently, it is impossible to add any flag for debug sections using llvm-mc.
That happens because we have a set of predefined unique sections created early with default flags:
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/master/lib/MC/MCObjectFileInfo.cpp#L391
This patch allows a user to add any flags he wants.
I had to edit TargetLoweringObjectFileImpl.cpp to set MetaData type for debug sections.
Their kind was Data by default (so they were allocatable) and so after changes introduced by
this patch the SHF_ALLOC flag was applied for them, what does not make sense for debug sections.
One of OrcJITTests tests failed because of that.

Now that we create the label at the point of the directive, we don't
need to set the "current CV location", and then later when we emit the
next instruction, create a label for it and emit it.
DWARF still defers the labels used in .debug_loc until the next
instruction or value, for reasons unknown.
llvm-svn: 340883
Previously we followed the DWARF implementation, which waits until the
next instruction or data to emit the label to use in the .debug_loc
section. We might want to consider re-evaluating that design choice as
well, since it means the .loc skips alignment padding, for better or
worse.
This was the most minimal fix I could come up with, but we should be
able to do a lot of cleanups now that we don't need to save a pending CV
location on the CodeViewContext. I plan to do those next, but this
immediately fixes an assertion for some of our users.

Aligning section contents is not required, but only
recommended, by the specification. Microsoft's documentation says
(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/debug/pe-format#section-table-section-headers):
"For object files, the value should be aligned on a 4-byte boundary
for best performance."
However, according to my measurements, aligning section contents has
a neutral to negative effect on performance.
I measured the median run time of 100 links of Chromium's
base_unittests on Linux with lld-link and on Windows with link.exe with
both aligned and unaligned sections. On Linux I didn't see a measurable
performance difference, and on Windows the link was slightly faster
with unaligned sections (presumably because on Windows the bottleneck
is I/O).
Also, the sections created by cl.exe are unaligned, so we should expect
tools to broadly accept unaligned sections.

When emitting the difference between two symbols, the standard behavior is
that the difference will be resolved to an absolute value if both of the
symbols are offsets from the same data fragment. This is undesirable on
architectures such as RISC-V where relaxation in the linker may cause the
computed difference to become invalid. This caused an issue when compiling to
object code, where the size of a function in the debug information was already
calculated even though it could change as a consequence of relaxation in the
subsequent linking stage.
This patch inhibits the resolution of symbol differences to absolute values
where the target's AsmBackend has declared that it does not want these to be
folded.

llvm-svn: 339864
Summary:
The TType encoding, LSDA encoding, and personality encoding are all
passed explicitly by CodeGen to the assembler through .cfi_* directives,
so only the AsmPrinter needs to know about them.
The FDE CFI encoding however, controls the encoding of the label
implicitly created by the .cfi_startproc directive. That directive seems
to be special in that it doesn't take an encoding, so the assembler just
has to know how to encode one DSO-local label reference from .eh_frame
to .text.
As a result, it looks like MC will continue to have to know when the
large code model is in use. Perhaps we could invent a '.cfi_startproc
[large]' flag so that this knowledge doesn't need to pollute the
assembler.

This patch teaches llvm-mca how to identify dependency breaking instructions on
btver2.
An example of dependency breaking instructions is the zero-idiom XOR (example:
`XOR %eax, %eax`), which always generates zero regardless of the actual value of
the input register operands.
Dependency breaking instructions don't have to wait on their input register
operands before executing. This is because the computation is not dependent on
the inputs.
Not all dependency breaking idioms are also zero-latency instructions. For
example, `CMPEQ %xmm1, %xmm1` is independent on
the value of XMM1, and it generates a vector of all-ones.
That instruction is not eliminated at register renaming stage, and its opcode is
issued to a pipeline for execution. So, the latency is not zero.
This patch adds a new method named isDependencyBreaking() to the MCInstrAnalysis
interface. That method takes as input an instruction (i.e. MCInst) and a
MCSubtargetInfo.
The default implementation of isDependencyBreaking() conservatively returns
false for all instructions. Targets may override the default behavior for
specific CPUs, and return a value which better matches the subtarget behavior.
In future, we should teach to Tablegen how to automatically generate the body of
isDependencyBreaking from scheduling predicate definitions. This would allow us
to expose the knowledge about dependency breaking instructions to the machine
schedulers (and, potentially, other codegen passes).

The standard library functions ::isprint/std::isprint have platform-
and locale-dependent behavior which makes LLVM's output less
predictable. In particular, regression tests my fail depending on the
implementation of these functions.
Implement llvm::isPrint in StringExtras.h with a standard behavior and
replace all uses of ::isprint/std::isprint by a call it llvm::isPrint.
The function is inlined and does not look up language settings so it
should perform better than the standard library's version.
Such a replacement has already been done for isdigit, isalpha, isxdigit
in r314883. gtest does the same in gtest-printers.cc using the following
justification:
// Returns true if c is a printable ASCII character. We test the
// value of c directly instead of calling isprint(), which is buggy on
// Windows Mobile.
inline bool IsPrintableAscii(wchar_t c) {
return 0x20 <= c && c <= 0x7E;

I noticed the problem myself when on Windows isprint('\t') started to
evaluate to true (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51435249) and
thus caused several unit tests to fail. The result of isprint doesn't
seem to be well-defined even for ASCII characters. Therefore I suggest
to replace isprint by a platform-independent version.
