Clang -gsplit-dwarf self-host -O0, binary increases by 0.0005%, -O2,
binary increases by 25%.
A large binary inside Google, split-dwarf, -O0, and other internal flags
(GDB index, etc) increases by 1.8%, optimized build is 35%.
The size impact may be somewhat greater in .o files (I haven't measured
that much - since the linked executable -O0 numbers seemed low enough)
due to relocations. These relocations could be removed if we taught the
llvm-symbolizer to handle indexed addressing in the .o file (GDB can't
cope with this just yet, but GDB won't be reading this info anyway).
Also debug_ranges could be shared between .o and .dwo, though ideally
debug_ranges would get a schema that could used index(+offset)
addressing, and move to the .dwo file, then we'd be back to sharing
addresses in the address pool again.
But for now, these sizes seem small enough to go ahead with this.
Verified that no other DW_TAGs are produced into the .o file other than
subprograms and inlined_subroutines.

This is experimental, just barely enough to get things to not
immediately combust.
A note for those who are curious:
Only lld can successfully link the object files, other linkers truncate
the section names making the debug sections illegible to debuggers.
Even with this in mind, we believe we are having trouble with SECREL
relocations.

This generalizes the range handling for ranges in both the skeleton and
full unit, laying the foundation for the addition of more ranges (rather
than just the CU's special case) in the skeleton CU with fission+gmlt.
llvm-svn: 221202
So that it may be shared between skeleton/full compile unit, for CU
ranges and other ranges to be added for fission+gmlt.
(at some point we might want some kind of object shared between the
skeleton and full compile units for all those things we only want one of
in that scope, rather than having the full unit always look through to
the skeleton... - alternatively, we might be able to have the skeleton
pointer (or another, separate pointer) point to the skeleton or to the
unit itself in non-fission, so we don't have to special case its
absence)
llvm-svn: 221186
This is one of a few steps to generalize range handling to include the
CU range (thus the CU's range list will be moved into the range list
list, losing track of the base address in the process), which means
generalizing ranges from both the skeleton and full unit under fission.
And... then I can used that generalized support for ranges in
fission+gmlt where there'll be a bunch more ranges in the skeleton.

When LLVM emits DWARF call frame information, it currently creates a local,
section-relative symbol in the code section, which is pointed to by a
relocation on the .eh_frame section. However, for C++ we emit some functions in
section groups, and the SysV ABI has some rules to make it easier to remove
these sections
(http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.sheader.html#section_group_rules):
A symbol table entry with STB_LOCAL binding that is defined relative to one
of a group's sections, and that is contained in a symbol table section that is
not part of the group, must be discarded if the group members are discarded.
References to this symbol table entry from outside the group are not allowed.
This means that we need to use the function symbol for the relocation, not a
temporary symbol.
There was a comment in the code claiming that the local symbol was used to
avoid creating a relocation, but a relocation must be created anyway as the
code and CFI are in different sections.
llvm-svn: 221150
Currently we only need to emit skeleton strings into the CU header and
we do this by explicitly calling "addLocalString". With gmlt-in-fission,
we'll be emitting a bunch of other strings from other codepaths where
it's not statically known that these strings will be local or not.
Introduce a virtual function to indicate whether this unit is a DWO unit
or not (I'm not sure if we have a good term for this, the
opposite/alternative to 'skeleton' unit) and use that to generalize the
string emission logic so that strings can be correctly emitted in both
the skeleton and dwo unit when in split dwarf mode.
And to demonstrate that this works, switch the existing special callers
of addLocalString in the skeleton builder to addString - and they still
work. Yay.
llvm-svn: 221094
This is a useful distinction/invariant/delination to make because
LineTablesOnly mode is never relevant to type units, so it's clear that
we're not doing weird line-tables-only-with-types by making this API
choice.
It also lays the foundations nicely for adding gmlt-like data to fission
skeleton CUs while limiting the effects to CUs and not TUs.
llvm-svn: 221093
(these will shortly become virtual, with a null implementation in
DwarfUnit (since type units don't have accelerator tables in the current
schema) and the current implementation down in DwarfCompileUnit, moving
the actual maps there too)
llvm-svn: 221082
This would help catch cases where we might otherwise try to reference a
dwo CU label, which would be weird - because without relocations in the
dwo file it's not generally meaningful to talk about the CU offsets
there (or, if it is, we can do so in absolute terms without using a
relocation to compute it).
llvm-svn: 221078
This allows the CU label to be emitted only for compile units, as
they're the only ones that need it (so they can be referenced from
pubnames)
llvm-svn: 221072
This was a compile-unit specific label (unused in type units) and seems
unnecessary anyway when we can more easily directly compute the size of
the compile unit.
llvm-svn: 221067
Type units no longer have skeletons and it's misleading to be able to
query for a type unit's skeleton (it might incorrectly lead one to
conclude that if a unit doesn't have a skeleton it's not in a .dwo
file... ).
llvm-svn: 221055
This is the first big step to allowing gmlt-like inline scope
information in the skeleton CU. While this commit doesn't change the
functionality, it's only a small step to call
"constructAbstractSubprogramDIE" on both the InfoHolder and the
SkeletonHolder (when in use) and that will at least create the abstract
SP dies in that case, though still not creating the other subprograms.
llvm-svn: 221051
So that it has access to getOrCreateGlobalVariableDIE. If we ever support
decsribing using directive in C++ classes (thus requiring support in type
units), it will certainly use another mechanism anyway.

(part of refactoring to allow subprogram emission in both the skeleton
and main units to enable -gmlt-like data to be included in the skeleton
for live inlined backtracing purposes)
