This is a NFC splitted from D75342.
Previously obj2yaml never dumped a normal SHT_NULL section (i.e. when it is just zeroed)
or non-allocatable SHT_STRTAB/SHT_SYMTAB/SHT_DYNSYM sections.
This patch does not change the output, but it changes the logic so that we now dump these
sections, and them remove them later. It allows us to create and work with our internal representation
of sections, i.e. to work with the vector of Chunks, what looks cleaner.
It is used by D75342 and also should help us to support dumping a content that does not
belong to a section (i.e. to dump some data as `Fill` chunks).

This method it a bit too large.
It is becoming inconvenient to update it.
This patch suggests a way to reduce and cleanup it.
Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D76499
Currently obj2yaml always emits the `EntSize` property when `sh_entsize != 0`.
It is not correct. For example, for `SHT_DYNAMIC` section, `EntSize == 0`
is abnormal, while `sizeof(ELFT::Dyn)` is the expected default.
To reduce the output produces we should not dump default values.
yaml2obj tests that shows `sh_entsize` values produced are:
1) For `SHT_REL*` sections: `yaml2obj\ELF\reloc-sec-entry-size.yaml`
2) For `SHT_DYNAMIC`: `yaml2obj\ELF\dynamic-section.yaml`
Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D76227
`.rela.dyn` is a dynamic relocation section that normally has
no value in `sh_info` field.
The existent `elf-reladyn-section-shinfo.yaml` which tests this piece has issues:
1) It does not check the case when we have more than one `SHT_REL[A]`
section with `sh_info == 0` in the object. Because of this it did not catch the issue.
Currently we print an excessive "Info" field:
```
- Name: .rela.dyn
Type: SHT_RELA
EntSize: 0x0000000000000018
- Name: .rel.dyn
Type: SHT_REL
EntSize: 0x0000000000000010
Info: ' [1]'
```
2) It seems can be more generic. I've added a `rel-rela-section.yaml` instead.
Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D76281
Sometimes we need to dump an object and build it again from a YAML
description produced. The problem is that obj2yaml does not dump some
of sections, like string tables and symbol tables.
Because of that yaml2obj implicitly creates them and sections created
are not placed at their original locations. They are added to the end of a section list.
That makes a preparing test cases task harder than it can be.
This patch teaches obj2yaml to dump parts of allocatable SHT_STRTAB, SHT_SYMTAB
and SHT_DYNSYM sections to print placeholders for them.
This also allows to preserve usefull parameters, like virtual address.
Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D74955
I've noticed that it is not convenient to create YAMLs from
binaries (using obj2yaml) that have to be test cases for obj2yaml
later (after applying yaml2obj).
The problem, for example is that obj2yaml emits "DynamicSymbols:"
key instead of .dynsym. It also does not create .dynstr.
And when a YAML document without explicitly defined .dynsym/.dynstr
is given to yaml2obj, we have issues:
1) These sections are placed after non-allocatable sections (I've fixed it in D74756).
2) They have VA == 0. User needs create descriptions for such sections explicitly manually
to set a VA.
This patch addresses (2). I suggest to let yaml2obj assign virtual addresses by itself.
It makes an output binary to be much closer to "normal" ELF.
(It is still possible to use "Address: 0x0" for a section to get the original behavior
if it is needed)

Currently there is no way to describe the data that is not a part of an output section.
It can be a data used to align sections or to fill the gaps with something,
or another kind of custom data. In this patch I suggest a way to describe it. It looks like that:
```
Sections:
- Type: CustomFiller
Pattern: "CCDD"
Size: 4
- Name: .bar
Type: SHT_PROGBITS
Content: "FF"
```
I.e. I've added a kind of synthetic section with a synthetic type "CustomFiller".
In the code it is called a "SyntheticFiller", which is "a synthetic section which
might be used to write the custom data around regular output sections. It does
not present in the sections header table, but it might affect the output file size and
program headers produced. Think about it as about piece of data."
`SyntheticFiller` currently has a `Pattern` field and a `Size` field + an optional `Name`.
When written, `Size` of bytes in the output will be filled with a `Pattern`.
It is possible to reference a named filler it by name from the program headers description,
just like any other normal section.

SHT_NOTE is the section that consists of

This patch implements the section how it is described here:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/819-0690/chapter6-18048.html
Which says: "For 64–bit objects and 32–bit objects, each entry is an array of 4-byte words in
the format of the target processor"
The official specification is different
http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch5.pheader.html#note_section
And says: "n 64-bit objects (files with e_ident[EI_CLASS] equal to ELFCLASS64), each entry is an array
of 8-byte words in the format of the target processor. In 32-bit objects (files with e_ident[EI_CLASS]
equal to ELFCLASS32), each entry is an array of 4-byte words in the format of the target processor"
Since LLVM uses the first, 32-bit way, this patch follows it.

In some cases a symbol might have section index == SHN_XINDEX.
This is an escape value indicating that the actual section header index
is too large to fit in the containing field.
Then the SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX section is used. It contains the 32bit values
that stores section indexes.
ELF gABI says that there can be multiple SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX sections,
i.e. for example one for .symtab and one for .dynsym

In this patch I am only supporting a single SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX associated
with a .symtab. This is a more or less common case which is used a few tests I saw in LLVM.
I decided not to create the SHT_SYMTAB_SHNDX section as "implicit",
but implement is like a kind of regular section for now.
i.e. tools do not recreate this section or its content, like they do for
symbol table sections, for example. That should allow to write all kind of
possible broken test cases for our needs and keep the output closer to requested.

because internal errors handling of tool is based on ErrorOr<> class which
stores a error code and as a result can only show a predefined error string, what

Currently, YAML has the following syntax for describing the symbols:
Symbols:
Local:
LocalSymbol1:
...
LocalSymbol2:
...
...
Global:
GlobalSymbol1:
...
Weak:
...
GNUUnique:
I.e. symbols are grouped by their bindings. That is not very convenient,
because:
It does not allow to set a custom binding, what can be useful for producing
broken/special outputs for test cases. Adding a new binding would require to
change a syntax (what we observed when added GNUUnique recently).
It does not allow to change the order of the symbols in .symtab/.dynsym,
i.e. currently all Local symbols are placed first, then Global, Weak and GNUUnique
are following, but we are not able to change the order.
It is not consistent. Binding is just one of the properties of the symbol,
we do not group them by other properties.
It makes the code more complex that it can be. This patch shows it can be simplified
with the change performed.
The patch changes the syntax to just:
Symbols:
Symbol1:
...

ELFYAML.h contains a `Section` class which is a base for a few other
sections classes that are used for mapping different section types.
`Section` has a `StringRef Info` field used for storing sh_info.
At the same time, sh_info has very different meanings for sections and
cannot be processed in a similar way generally,
for example ELFDumper does not handle it in `dumpCommonSection`
but do that in `dumpGroup` and `dumpCommonRelocationSection` respectively.
At this moment, we have and handle it as a string, because that was possible for
the current use case. But also it can simply be a number:
For SHT_GNU_verdef is "The number of version definitions within the section."
The patch moves `Info` field out to be able to have it as a number.
With that change, each class will be able to decide what type and purpose
of the sh_info field it wants to use.
I also had to edit 2 test cases. This is because patch fixes a bug. Previously we
accepted yaml files with Info fields for all sections (for example, for SHT_DYNSYM too).
But we do not handle it and the resulting objects had zero sh_info fields set for
such sections. Now it is accepted only for sections that supports it.

Without this we would have multiple relocations pointing to symbols
with the same name: the empty string. There was no way for yaml2obj to
be able to handle that.
A more general solution would be to unique symbol names in a similar
way to how we unique section names. In practice I think this covers
all common cases and is a bit more user friendly than using names like
sym1, sym2, sym3, etc.
llvm-svn: 312603
Without this patch passing a .o file with multiple sections with the
same name to obj2yaml produces a yaml file that yaml2obj cannot
handle. This is pr34162.
The problem is that when specifying, for example, the section of a
symbol, we get only
Section: foo
and don't know which of the sections whose name is foo we have to use.
One alternative would be to use section numbers. This would work, but
the output from obj2yaml would be very inconvenient to edit as
deleting a section would invalidate all indexes.
Another alternative would be to invent a unique section id that would
exist only on yaml. This would work, but seems a bit heavy handed. We
could make the id optional and default it to the section name.
Since in the last alternative the id is basically what this patch uses
as a name, it can be implemented as a followup patch if needed.

This has two advantages:
1) We slowly move away from ErrorOr to the new handling interface,
in the hope of having an uniform error handling in LLVM, eventually.
2) We're starting to have *meaningful* error messages for invalid
object ELF files, rather than a generic "parse error". At some point
we should include also the offset to improve the quality of the
diagnostic.

Produce another specific error message for a malformed Mach-O file when a symbol’s
string index is past the end of the string table. The existing test case in test/Object/macho-invalid.test
for macho-invalid-symbol-name-past-eof now reports the error with the message indicating
that a symbol at a specific index has a bad sting index and that bad string index value.
Again converting interfaces to Expected<> from ErrorOr<> does involve
touching a number of places. Where the existing code reported the error with a
string message or an error code it was converted to do the same. There is some
code for this that could be factored into a routine but I would like to leave that for
the code owners post-commit to do as they want for handling an llvm::Error. An
example of how this could be done is shown in the diff in
lib/ExecutionEngine/RuntimeDyld/RuntimeDyldImpl.h which had a Check() routine
already for std::error_code so I added one like it for llvm::Error .
Also there some were bugs in the existing code that did not deal with the
old ErrorOr<> return values. So now with Expected<> since they must be
checked and the error handled, I added a TODO and a comment:
“// TODO: Actually report errors helpfully” and a call something like
consumeError(NameOrErr.takeError()) so the buggy code will not crash
since needed to deal with the Error.

SHT_NOBITS sections do not have content in an object file. Now yaml2obj
tool does not accept `Content` field for such sections, and obj2yaml
tool does not attempt to read the section content from a file.

This also improves the logic of what is an error:
* getSection(uint_32): only return an error if the index is out of bounds. The
index 0 corresponds to a perfectly valid entry.
* getSection(Elf_Sym): Returns null for symbols that normally don't have
sections and error for out of bound indexes.
In many places this just moves the report_fatal_error up the stack, but those
can then be fixed in smaller patches.

This moves the error checking for string tables to getStringTable which returns
an ErrorOr<StringRef>.
This improves error checking, makes it uniform across all string tables and
makes it possible to check them once instead of once per name.

It was a fairly broken concept for an ELF only class.
An ELF file can have two symbol tables, but they have exactly the same
format. There is no concept of a dynamic or a static symbol. Storing this
on the iterator also makes us do more work per symbol than necessary. To fetch
a name we would:
* Find if we had a static or a dynamic symbol.
* Look at the corresponding symbol table and find the string table section.
* Look at the string table section to fetch its contents.
* Compute the name as a substring of the string table.
All but the last step can be done per symbol table instead of per symbol. This
is a step in that direction.

make_error_code(object_error) is slow because object::object_category()
uses a ManagedStatic variable. But the real problem is that the function is
called too frequently. This patch uses std::error_code() instead of
object_error::success. In most cases, we return "success", so this patch
reduces number of function calls to that function.
