In ThinLTO many split CUs may be effectively empty because of the lack
of support for cross-unit references in split DWARF.
Using a split unit in those cases is just a waste/overhead - and turned
out to be one contributor to a significant symbolizer performance issue
when global variable debug info was being imported (see r348416 for the
primary fix) due to symbolizers seeing CUs with no ranges, assuming
there might still be addresses covered and walking into the split CU to
see if there are any ranges (when that split CU was in a DWP file, that
meant loading the DWP and its index, the index was extra large because
of all these fractured/empty CUs... and so was very expensive to load).
(the 3rd fix which will follow, is to assume that a CU with no ranges is
empty rather than merely missing its CU level range data - and to not
walk into its DIEs (split or otherwise) in search of address information
that is generally not present)

Summary:
Ranges base address specifiers can save a lot of object size in
relocation records especially in optimized builds.
For an optimized self-host build of Clang with split DWARF and debug
info compression in object files, but uncompressed debug info in the
executable, this change produces about 18% smaller object files and 6%
larger executable.
While it would've been nice to turn this on by default, gold's 32 bit
gdb-index support crashes on this input & I don't think there's any
perfect heuristic to implement solely in LLVM that would suffice - so
we'll need a flag one way or another (also possible people might want to
aggressively optimized for executable size that contains debug info
(even with compression this would still come at some cost to executable
size)) - so let's plumb it through.

Before this patch DbgInfoAvailable was set to true in
DwarfDebug::beginModule() or CodeViewDebug::CodeViewDebug(). This made
MIR testing weird since passes would suddenly stop dealing with debug
info just because we stopped the pipeline before the debug printers.
This patch changes the logic to initialize DbgInfoAvailable based on the
fact that debug_compile_units exist in the llvm Module. The debug
printers may then override it with false in case of debug printing being
disabled.

This makes the offsets larger (since they are further from the base
address) but those are in the .dwo - and allows removing addresses and
relocations from the .o file.
This could be built into the AddressPool more fundamentally, perhaps -
when you ask for an AddressPool entry you could say "or give me some
other entry and an offset I need to use" - though what to do about
situations where the first use of an address in a section is not the
earliest address in that section... is tricky.
At least with range addresses we can be fairly sure we've seen the
earliest address first because we see the start address for the
function.

Logs provided by @stella.stamenova indicate that on Linux, lldb adds a
spurious slide offset to the return PC it loads from AT_call_return_pc
attributes (see the list thread: "[PATCH] D50478: Add support for
artificial tail call frames").
This patch side-steps the issue by getting rid of the load address
calculation in lldb's CallEdge::GetReturnPCAddress.
The idea is to have the DWARF writer emit function-local offsets to the
instruction after a call. I.e. return-pc = label-after-call-insn -
function-entry. LLDB can simply add this offset to the base address of a
function to get the return PC.

Using a base address specifier even for a single-element range is a size
win for object files (7 words versus 8 words - more significant savings
if the debug info is compressed (since it's 3 words of uncompressable
reloc + 4 compressable words compared to 6 uncompressable reloc + 2
compressable words) - does trade off executable size increase though.

BTF is the debug format for BPF, a kernel virtual machine
and widely used for tracing, networking and security, etc ([1]).
Currently only instruction streams are passed to kernel,
the kernel verifier verifies them before execution. In order to
provide better visibility of bpf programs to user space
tools, some debug information, e.g., function names and
debug line information are desirable for kernel so tools
can get such information with better annotation
for jited instructions for performance or other reasons.
The dwarf is too complicated in kernel and for BPF.
Hence, BTF is designed to be the debug format for BPF ([2]).
Right now, pahole supports BTF for types, which
are generated based on dwarf sections in the ELF file.
In order to annotate performance metrics for jited bpf insns,
it is necessary to pass debug line info to the kernel.
Furthermore, we want to pass the actual code to the
kernel because of the following reasons:
. bpf program typically is small so storage overhead
should be small.
. in bpf land, it is totally possible that
an application loads the bpf program into the
kernel and then that application quits, so
holding debug info by the user space application
is not practical.
. having source codes directly kept by kernel
would ease deployment since the original source
code does not need ship on every hosts and
kernel-devel package does not need to be
deployed even if kernel headers are used.
The only reliable time to get the source code is
during compilation time. This will result in both more
accurate information and easier deployment as
stated in the above.
Another consideration is for JIT. The project like bcc
use MCJIT to compile a C program into bpf insns and
load them to the kernel ([3]). The generated BTF sections
will be readily available for such cases as well.
This patch implemented generation of BTF info in llvm
compiler. The BTF related sections will be generated
when both -target bpf and -g are specified. Two sections
are generated:
.BTF contains all the type and string information, and
.BTF.ext contains the func_info and line_info.
The separation is related to how two sections are used
differently in bpf loader, e.g., linux libbpf ([4]).
The .BTF section can be loaded into the kernel directly
while .BTF.ext needs loader manipulation before loading
to the kernel. The format of the each section is roughly
defined in llvm:include/llvm/MC/MCBTFContext.h and
from the implementation in llvm:lib/MC/MCBTFContext.cpp.
A later example also shows the contents in each section.
The type and func_info are gathered during CodeGen/AsmPrinter
by traversing dwarf debug_info. The line_info is
gathered in MCObjectStreamer before writing to
the object file. After all the information is gathered,
the two sections are emitted in MCObjectStreamer::finishImpl.
With cmake CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug, the compiler can
dump out all the tables except insn offset, which
will be resolved later as relocation records.
The debug type "btf" is used for BTFContext dump.
Dwarf tests the debug info generation with
llvm-dwarfdump to decode the binary sections and
check whether the result is expected. Currently
we do not have such a tool yet. We will implement
btf dump functionality in bpftool ([5]) as the bpftool is
considered the recommended tool for bpf introspection.
The implementation for type and func_info is tested
with linux kernel test cases. The line_info is visually
checked with dump from linux kernel libbpf ([4]) and
checked with readelf dumping section raw data.
Note that the .BTF and .BTF.ext information will not
be emitted to assembly code and there is no assembler
support for BTF either.

llvm-svn: 344318
DWARF v5 introduces DW_AT_call_all_calls, a subprogram attribute which
indicates that all calls (both regular and tail) within the subprogram
have call site entries. The information within these call site entries
can be used by a debugger to populate backtraces with synthetic tail
call frames.
Tail calling frames go missing in backtraces because the frame of the
caller is reused by the callee. Call site entries allow a debugger to
reconstruct a sequence of (tail) calls which led from one function to
another. This improves backtrace quality. There are limitations: tail
recursion isn't handled, variables within synthetic frames may not
survive to be inspected, etc. This approach is not novel, see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/summit2010?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=jelinek.pdf
This patch adds an IR-level flag (DIFlagAllCallsDescribed) which lowers
to DW_AT_call_all_calls. It adds the minimal amount of DWARF generation
support needed to emit standards-compliant call site entries. For easier
deployment, when the debugger tuning is LLDB, the DWARF requirement is
adjusted to v4.
Testing: Apart from check-{llvm, clang}, I built a stage2 RelWithDebInfo
clang binary. Its dSYM passed verification and grew by 1.4% compared to
the baseline. 151,879 call site entries were added.

Context: Compiler generated instructions do not have a debug location
assigned to them. However emitting 0-line records for all of them bloats
the line tables for very little benefit so we usually avoid doing that.
Not emitting anything will lead to the previous debug location getting
applied to the locationless instructions. This is not desirable for
block begin and after labels. Previously we would emit simply emit
line-0 records in this case, this patch changes the behavior to do a
forward search for a debug location in these cases before emitting a
line-0 record to further reduce line table bloat.
Inspired by the discussion in https://reviews.llvm.org/D52862

Currently, we emit DW_AT_addr_base that points to the beginning of
the .debug_addr section. That is not correct for the DWARF5 case because address
table contains the header and the attribute should point to the first entry
following the header.
This is currently the reason why LLDB does not work with such executables correctly.

In cases where the debugger load time is a worthwhile tradeoff (or less
costly - such as loading from a DWP instead of a variety of DWOs
(possibly over a high-latency/distributed filesystem)) against object
file size, it can be reasonable to disable pubnames and corresponding
gdb-index creation in the linker.
A backend-flag version of this was implemented for NVPTX in
D44385/r327994 - which was fine for NVPTX which wouldn't mix-and-match
CUs. Now that it's going to be a user-facing option (likely powered by
"-gno-pubnames", the same as GCC) it should be encoded in the
DICompileUnit so it can vary per-CU.
After this, likely the NVPTX support should be migrated to the metadata
& the previous flag implementation should be removed.

Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D50453
llvm-svn: 339268
Summary:
The accelerator tables use the debug_str section to store their strings.
However, they do not support the indirect method of access that is
available for the debug_info section (DW_FORM_strx et al.).
Currently our code is assuming that all strings can/will be referenced
indirectly, and puts all of them into the debug_str_offsets section.
This is generally true for regular (unsplit) dwarf, but in the DWO case,
most of the strings in the debug_str section will only be used from the
accelerator tables. Therefore the contents of the debug_str_offsets
section will be largely unused and bloating the main executable.
This patch rectifies this by teaching the DwarfStringPool to
differentiate between strings accessed directly and indirectly. When a
user inserts a string into the pool it has to declare whether that
string will be referenced directly or not. If at least one user requsts
indirect access, that string will be assigned an index ID and put into
debug_str_offsets table. Otherwise, the offset table is skipped.
This approach reduces the overall binary size (when compiled with
-gdwarf-5 -gsplit-dwarf) in my tests by about 2% (debug_str_offsets is
shrunk by 99%).

This recommits r337910 after fixing an "ambiguous call to addAttribute"
error with some compilers (gcc circa 4.9 and MSVC). It seems that these
compilers will consider a "false -> pointer" conversion during overload

takes a MCExpr * as an argument.
I fix this by making the new overload take MCExpr&, which avoids the
conversion. It also documents the fact that we expect a valid MCExpr

This came up in the context of D49493, where I've needed to make adding

data types, as some used to store DIE& and others DIE*. I chose to unify
to a reference as that's what the caller uses.
This technically isn't NFC, because it changes the StringPool used for
apple tables in the DWO case (now it uses the main file like DWARF v5
instead of the DWO file). However, that shouldn't matter, as DWO is not
a thing on apple targets (clang frontend simply ignores -gsplit-dwarf).

Summary:
This patch makes us generate the debug_names section in response to some
user-facing commands (previously it was only generated if explicitly
selected via the -accel-tables option).
My goal was to make this work for DWARF>=5 (as it's an official part of
that standard), and also, as an extension, for DWARF<5 if one is
explicitly tuning for lldb as a debugger (because it brings a large
performance improvement there).
This is slightly complicated by the fact that the debug_names tables are
incompatible with the DWARF v4 type units (they assume that the type
units are in the debug_info section), and unfortunately, right now we
generate DWARF v4-style type units even for -gdwarf-5. For this reason,
I disable all accelerator tables if the user requested type unit
generation. I do this even for apple tables, as they have the same
problem (in fact generating type units for apple targets makes us crash
even before we get around to emitting the accelerator tables).
