Hans Wennborg 4195eb1068 [COFF] Emit @feat.00 on 64-bit and set the CFG bit when emitting guardcf tables
The 0x800 bit in @feat.00 needs to be set in order to make LLD pick up
the .gfid$y table. I believe this is fine to set even if we don't emit
the instrumentation.

We haven't emitted @feat.00 on 64-bit before. I see that MSVC does emit
it, but I'm not entirely sure what the default value should be. I went
with zero since that seems as safe as not emitting the symbol in the
first place.

Martin Storsjo 489993db94 [MinGW] [X86] Add stubs for references to data variables that might end up imported from a dll
Variables declared with the dllimport attribute are accessed via a
stub variable named __imp_<var>. In MinGW configurations, variables that
aren't declared with a dllimport attribute might still end up imported
from another DLL with runtime pseudo relocs.

For x86_64, this avoids the risk that the target is out of range
for a 32 bit PC relative reference, in case the target DLL is loaded
further than 4 GB from the reference. It also avoids having to make the
text section writable at runtime when doing the runtime fixups, which
makes it worthwhile to do for i386 as well.

Add stub variables for all dso local data references where a definition
of the variable isn't visible within the module, since the DLL data
autoimporting might make them imported even though they are marked as
dso local within LLVM.

Don't do this for variables that actually are defined within the same
module, since we then know for sure that it actually is dso local.

Don't do this for references to functions, since there's no need for
runtime pseudo relocations for autoimporting them; if a function from
a different DLL is called without the appropriate dllimport attribute,
the call just gets routed via a thunk instead.

GCC does something similar since 4.9 (when compiling with -mcmodel=medium
or large; from that version, medium is the default code model for x86_64
mingw), but only for x86_64.

Martin Storsjo d2662c32fb [COFF] Hoist constant pool handling from X86AsmPrinter into AsmPrinter
In SVN r334523, the first half of comdat constant pool handling was
hoisted from X86WindowsTargetObjectFile (which despite the name only
was used for msvc targets) into the arch independent
TargetLoweringObjectFileCOFF, but the other half of the handling was
left behind in X86AsmPrinter::GetCPISymbol.

With only half of the handling in place, inconsistent comdat
sections/symbols are created, causing issues with both GNU binutils
(avoided for X86 in SVN r335918) and with the MS linker, which
would complain like this:

fatal error LNK1143: invalid or corrupt file: no symbol for COMDAT section 0x4

Reid Kleckner 9cdd4df81a [codeview] Implement FPO data assembler directives
Summary:
This adds a set of new directives that describe 32-bit x86 prologues.
The directives are limited and do not expose the full complexity of
codeview FPO data. They are merely a convenience for the compiler to
generate more readable assembly so we don't need to generate tons of
labels in CodeGen. If our prologue emission changes in the future, we
can change the set of available directives to suit our needs. These are
modelled after the .seh_ directives, which use a different format that
interacts with exception handling.

The directives are:
  .cv_fpo_proc _foo
  .cv_fpo_pushreg ebp/ebx/etc
  .cv_fpo_setframe ebp/esi/etc
  .cv_fpo_stackalloc 200
  .cv_fpo_endprologue
  .cv_fpo_endproc
  .cv_fpo_data _foo

I tried to follow the implementation of ARM EHABI CFI directives by
sinking most directives out of MCStreamer and into X86TargetStreamer.
This helps avoid polluting non-X86 code with WinCOFF specific logic.

I used cdb to confirm that this can show locals in parent CSRs in a few
cases, most importantly the one where we use ESI as a frame pointer,
i.e. the one in http://crbug.com/756153#c28

Once we have cdb integration in debuginfo-tests, we can add integration
tests there.

Charles Davis 0822aa118e [X86] Support the "ms-hotpatch" attribute.
Summary:
Based on two patches by Michael Mueller.

This is a target attribute that causes a function marked with it to be
emitted as "hotpatchable". This particular mechanism was originally
devised by Microsoft for patching their binaries (which they are
constantly updating to stay ahead of crackers, script kiddies, and other
ne'er-do-wells on the Internet), but is now commonly abused by Windows
programs to hook API functions.

This mechanism is target-specific. For x86, a two-byte no-op instruction
is emitted at the function's entry point; the entry point must be
immediately preceded by 64 (32-bit) or 128 (64-bit) bytes of padding.
This padding is where the patch code is written. The two byte no-op is
then overwritten with a short jump into this code. The no-op is usually
a `movl %edi, %edi` instruction; this is used as a magic value
indicating that this is a hotpatchable function.

Dean Michael Berris 52735fc435 XRay: Add entry and exit sleds
Summary:
In this patch we implement the following parts of XRay:

- Supporting a function attribute named 'function-instrument' which currently only supports 'xray-always'. We should be able to use this attribute for other instrumentation approaches.
- Supporting a function attribute named 'xray-instruction-threshold' used to determine whether a function is instrumented with a minimum number of instructions (IR instruction counts).
- X86-specific nop sleds as described in the white paper.
- A machine function pass that adds the different instrumentation marker instructions at a very late stage.
- A way of identifying which return opcode is considered "normal" for each architecture.

There are some caveats here:

1) We don't handle PATCHABLE_RET in platforms other than x86_64 yet -- this means if IR used PATCHABLE_RET directly instead of a normal ret, instruction lowering for that platform might do the wrong thing. We think this should be handled at instruction selection time to by default be unpacked for platforms where XRay is not availble yet.

2) The generated section for X86 is different from what is described from the white paper for the sole reason that LLVM allows us to do this neatly. We're taking the opportunity to deviate from the white paper from this perspective to allow us to get richer information from the runtime library.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 9cfc75c214 CodeGen: Use MachineInstr& in TargetInstrInfo, NFC
This is mostly a mechanical change to make TargetInstrInfo API take
MachineInstr& (instead of MachineInstr* or MachineBasicBlock::iterator)
when the argument is expected to be a valid MachineInstr.  This is a
general API improvement.

Although it would be possible to do this one function at a time, that
would demand a quadratic amount of churn since many of these functions
call each other.  Instead I've done everything as a block and just
updated what was necessary.

This is mostly mechanical fixes: adding and removing `*` and `&`
operators.  The only non-mechanical change is to split
ARMBaseInstrInfo::getOperandLatencyImpl out from
ARMBaseInstrInfo::getOperandLatency.  Previously, the latter took a
`MachineInstr*` which it updated to the instruction bundle leader; now,
the latter calls the former either with the same `MachineInstr&` or the
bundle leader.

As a side effect, this removes a bunch of MachineInstr* to
MachineBasicBlock::iterator implicit conversions, a necessary step
toward fixing PR26753.

Note: I updated WebAssembly, Lanai, and AVR (despite being
off-by-default) since it turned out to be easy.  I couldn't run tests
for AVR since llc doesn't link with it turned on.

David Majnemer a3ea407d48 [X86] Use the correct alignment for COMDAT constant pool entries
COFF doesn't have sections with mergeable contents.  Instead, each
constant pool entry ends up in a COMDAT section.  The linker, when
choosing between COMDAT sections, doesn't choose the max alignment of
the two sections.  You just get whatever alignment was on the section.

If one constant needed a higher alignment in one object file from
another one, then we will get into trouble if the linker chooses the
lower alignment one.

Instead, lets promote the alignment of the constant pool entry to make
sure we don't use an under aligned constant with an instruction which
assumed otherwise.

Peter Collingbourne aef3659e18 Teach LTOModule to emit linker flags for dllexported symbols, plus interface cleanup.
This change unifies how LTOModule and the backend obtain linker flags
for globals: via a new TargetLoweringObjectFile member function named
emitLinkerFlagsForGlobal. A new function LTOModule::getLinkerOpts() returns
the list of linker flags as a single concatenated string.

This change affects the C libLTO API: the function lto_module_get_*deplibs now
exposes an empty list, and lto_module_get_*linkeropts exposes a single element
which combines the contents of all observed flags. libLTO should never have
tried to parse the linker flags; it is the linker's job to do so. Because
linkers will need to be able to parse flags in regular object files, it
makes little sense for libLTO to have a redundant mechanism for doing so.

The new API is compatible with the old one. It is valid for a user to specify
multiple linker flags in a single pragma directive like this:

 #pragma comment(linker, "/defaultlib:foo /defaultlib:bar")

The previous implementation would not have exposed
either flag via lto_module_get_*deplibs (as the test in
TargetLoweringObjectFileCOFF::getDepLibFromLinkerOpt was case sensitive)
and would have exposed "/defaultlib:foo /defaultlib:bar" as a single flag via
lto_module_get_*linkeropts. This may have been a bug in the implementation,
but it does give us a chance to fix the interface.

Rafael Espindola 0709a7bd1a Move alignment from MCSectionData to MCSection.
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.

Peter Collingbourne 10d362c51b MC: For variable symbols, maintain MCSymbol::Section as a cache.
Fixes PR19582.

Previously, when an asm assignment (.set or =) was created, we would look up
the section immediately in MCSymbol::setVariableValue. This caused symbols
to receive the wrong section if the RHS of the assignment had not been seen
yet. This had a knock-on effect in the object file emitters, causing them
to emit extra symbols, or to give symbols the wrong visibility or the wrong
section. For example, in the following asm:

.data
.Llocal:

.text
leaq .Llocal1(%rip), %rdi
.Llocal1 = .Llocal2
.Llocal2 = .Llocal

the first assignment would give .Llocal1 a null section, which would never get
fixed up by the second assignment. This would cause the ELF object file emitter
to consider .Llocal1 to be an undefined symbol and give it external linkage,
even though .Llocal1 should not have been emitted at all in the object file.

Or in the following asm:

alias_to_local = Ltmp0
Ltmp0:

the Mach-O object file emitter would give the alias_to_local symbol a n_type
of N_SECT and a n_sect of 0.  This is invalid under the Mach-O specification,
which requires N_SECT symbols to receive a non-zero section number if the
symbol is defined in a section in the object file.

After this change we do not look up the section when the assignment is created,
but instead look it up on demand and store it in Section, which is treated
as a cache if the symbol is a variable symbol.

This change also fixes a bug in MCExpr::FindAssociatedSection. Previously,
if we saw a subtraction, we would return the first referenced section, even in
cases where we should have been returning the absolute pseudo-section. Now we
always return the absolute pseudo-section for expressions that subtract two
section-derived expressions. This isn't always correct (e.g. if one of the
sections ends up being laid out at an absolute address), but it's probably
the best we can do without more context.

This allows us to remove code in two places where we appear to have been
working around this bug, in MachObjectWriter::markAbsoluteVariableSymbols
and in X86AsmPrinter::EmitStartOfAsmFile.

Re-applies r233595 (aka D8586), which was reverted in r233898.
