TypedDINodeRef<T> is a redundant wrapper of Metadata * that is actually a T *.
Accordingly, change DI{Node,Scope,Type}Ref uses to DI{Node,Scope,Type} * or their const variants.
This allows us to delete many resolve() calls that clutter the code.

For multi-dimensional array like below
int a[2][3];
the previous implementation generates BTF_KIND_ARRAY type
like below:
. element_type: int
. index_type: unsigned int
. number of elements: 6
This is not the best way to represent arrays, esp.,
when converting BTF back to headers and users will see
int a[6];
instead.
This patch generates proper support for multi-dimensional arrays.
For "int a[2][3]", the two BTF_KIND_ARRAY types will be
generated:
Type #n:
. element_type: int
. index_type: unsigned int
. number of elements: 3
Type #(n+1):
. element_type: #n
. index_type: unsigned int
. number of elements: 2
The linux kernel already supports such a multi-dimensional
array representation properly.

Currently, the type id for a derived type is computed incorrectly.
For example,
type #1: int
type #2: ptr to #1
For a global variable "int *a", type #1 will be attributed to variable "a".
This is due to a bug which assigns the type id of the basetype of
that derived type as the derived type's type id. This happens
to "const", "volatile", "restrict", "typedef" and "pointer" types.
This patch fixed this bug, fixed existing test cases and added
a new one focusing on pointers plus other derived types.

Two new kinds, BTF_KIND_VAR and BTF_KIND_DATASEC, are added.
BTF_KIND_VAR has the following specification:
btf_type.name: var name
btf_type.info: type kind
btf_type.type: var type
// btf_type is followed by one u32
u32: varinfo (currently, only 0 - static, 1 - global allocated in elf sections)
Not all globals are supported in this patch. The following globals are supported:
. static variables with or without section attributes
. global variables with section attributes
The inclusion of globals with section attributes
is for future potential extraction of key/value
type id's from map definition.
BTF_KIND_DATASEC has the following specification:
btf_type.name: section name associated with variable or
one of .data/.bss/.readonly
btf_type.info: type kind and vlen for # of variables
btf_type.size: 0
#vlen number of the following:
u32: id of corresponding BTF_KIND_VAR
u32: in-session offset of the var
u32: the size of memory var occupied
At the time of debug info emission, the data section
size is unknown, so the btf_type.size = 0 for
BTF_KIND_DATASEC. The loader can patch it during
loading time.
The in-session offseet of the var is only available
for static variables. For global variables, the
loader neeeds to assign the global variable symbol value in
symbol table to in-section offset.
The size of memory is used to specify the amount of the
memory a variable occupies. Typically, it equals to
the type size, but for certain structures, e.g.,
struct tt {
int a;
int b;
char c[];
};
static volatile struct tt s2 = {3, 4, "abcdefghi"};
The static variable s2 has size of 20.
Note that for BTF_KIND_DATASEC name, the section name
does not contain object name. The compiler does have
input module name. For example, two cases below:
. clang -target bpf -O2 -g -c test.c
The compiler knows the input file (module) is test.c
and can generate sec name like test.data/test.bss etc.
. clang -target bpf -O2 -g -emit-llvm -c test.c -o - |
llc -march=bpf -filetype=obj -o test.o
The llc compiler has the input file as stdin, and
would generate something like stdin.data/stdin.bss etc.
which does not really make sense.
For any user specificed section name, e.g.,
static volatile int a __attribute__((section("id1")));
static volatile const int b __attribute__((section("id2")));
The DataSec with name "id1" and "id2" does not contain
information whether the section is readonly or not.
The loader needs to check the corresponding elf section
flags for such information.
A simple example:
-bash-4.4$ cat t.c
int g1;
int g2 = 3;
const int g3 = 4;
static volatile int s1;
struct tt {
int a;
int b;
char c[];
};
static volatile struct tt s2 = {3, 4, "abcdefghi"};
static volatile const int s3 = 4;
int m __attribute__((section("maps"), used)) = 4;
int test() { return g1 + g2 + g3 + s1 + s2.a + s3 + m; }
-bash-4.4$ clang -target bpf -O2 -g -S t.c
Checking t.s, 4 BTF_KIND_VAR's are generated (s1, s2, s3 and m).
4 BTF_KIND_DATASEC's are generated with names
".data", ".bss", ".rodata" and "maps".

Previous commit 6bc58e6d3dbd ("[BPF] do not generate unused local/global types")
tried to exclude global variable from type generation. The condition is:
if (Global.hasExternalLinkage())
continue;
This is not right. It also excluded initialized globals.
The correct condition (from AssemblyWriter::printGlobal()) is:
if (!GV->hasInitializer() && GV->hasExternalLinkage())
Out << "external ";
Let us do the same in BTF type generation. Also added a test for it.

The kernel currently has a limit for # of types to be 64KB and
the size of string subsection to be 64KB. A simple bcc tool
runqlat.py generates:
. the size of ~33KB type section, roughly ~10K types
. the size of ~17KB string section
The majority type is from the types referenced by local
variables in the bpf program. For example, the kernel "task_struct"
itself recursively brings in ~900 other types.
This patch did the following optimization to avoid generating
unused types:
. do not generate types for local variables unless they are
function arguments.
. do not generate types for external globals.
If an external global is not used in the program, llvm
already removes it from IR, so global variable saving is
typical small. For runqlat.py, only one variable "llvm.used"
is the external global.
The types for locals and external globals can be added back
once there is a usage for them.
After the above optimization, the runqlat.py generates:
. the size of ~1.5KB type section, roughtly 500 types
. the size of ~0.7KB string section
UPDATE:
resubmitted the patch after previous revert with
the following fix:
use Global.hasExternalLinkage() to test "external"
linkage instead of using Global.getInitializer(),
which will assert on external variables.

In IR, sometimes the following attributes for DIFile may be
generated:
filename: /home/yhs/test.c
directory: /tmp
The /tmp may represent the working directory of the compilation
process.
In such cases, since filename is with absolute path,
the directory should be ignored by BTF. The filename alone is
enough to get the source.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.
