Both MCStreamer and MCObjectStreamer were maintaining a current section
variable and they were slightly out of sync. I don't think this was observable,
but was inefficient and error prone.
Changing this requires a few cascading changes:
* SwitchSection has to call ChangeSection earlier for ChangeSection to see
the old section.
* With that change, ChangeSection cannot call EmitLabel, since during
ChangeSection we are still in the old section.
* When the object streamer requires a begin label, just reused the existing
generic support for begin labels instead of calling EmitLabel directly.
llvm-svn: 238357
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.

Create a low-overhead path for `EmitLabelDifference()` that emits a
emits an absolute number when (1) the output is an object stream and (2)
the two symbols are in the same data fragment.
This drops memory usage on Mach-O from 975 MB down to 919 MB (5.8%).
The only call is when `!doesDwarfUseRelocationsAcrossSections()` --
i.e., on Mach-O -- since otherwise an absolute offset from the start of
the section needs a relocation. (`EmitLabelDifference()` is cheaper on
ELF anyway, since it creates 1 fewer temp symbol, and it gets called far
less often. It's not clear to me if this is even a bottleneck there.)
(I'm looking at `llc` memory usage on `verify-uselistorder.lto.opt.bc`;
see r236629 for details.)

Summary:
When instruction bundling is enabled and the -mc-relax-all flag is
set, we can write bundle padding directly into fragments and avoid
creating large number of fragments significantly reducing LLVM MC
memory usage.

The code this patch removes was there to make sure the text sections went
before the dwarf sections. That is necessary because MachO uses offsets
relative to the start of the file, so adding a section can change relaxations.
The dwarf sections were being printed at the start just to produce symbols
pointing at the start of those sections.
The underlying issue was fixed in r231898. The dwarf sections are now printed
when they are about to be used, which is after we printed the text sections.
To make sure we don't regress, the patch makes the MachO streamer assert
if CodeGen puts anything unexpected after the DWARF sections.

There are two main advantages to doing this
* Targets that only need to handle one of the formats specially don't have
to worry about the others. For example, x86 now only registers a
constructor for the COFF streamer.
* Changes to the arguments passed to one format constructor will not impact
the other formats.

Clang's static analyzer found several potential cases of undefined
behavior, use of un-initialized values, and potentially null pointer
dereferences in tablegen, Support, MC, and ADT. This cleans them up
with specific assertions on the assumptions of the code.

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.

Summary:
Currently when emitting a label, a new data fragment is created for it if the
current fragment isn't a data fragment.
This change instead enqueues the label and attaches it to the next fragment
(e.g. created for the next instruction) if possible.
When bundle alignment is not enabled, this has no functionality change (it
just results in fewer extra fragments being created). For bundle alignment,
previously labels would point to the beginning of the bundle padding instead
of the beginning of the emitted instruction. This was not only less efficient
(e.g. jumping to the nops instead of past them) but also led to miscalculation
of the address of the GOT (since MC uses a label difference rather than
emitting a "." symbol).

In assembly the expression a=b is parsed as an assignment, so it should be
printed as one.
This remove a truly horrible hack for producing a label with "a=.". It would
be used by codegen but would never be reached by the asm parser. Sorry I
missed this when it was first committed.

diagnostic that includes location information.
Currently if one has this assembly:
.quad (0x1234 + (4 * SOME_VALUE))
where SOME_VALUE is undefined ones gets the less than
useful error message with no location information:
% clang -c x.s
clang -cc1as: fatal error: error in backend: expected relocatable expression
With this fix one now gets a more useful error message
with location information:
% clang -c x.s
x.s:5:8: error: expected relocatable expression
.quad (0x1234 + (4 * SOME_VALUE))
^
To do this I plumbed the SMLoc through the MCObjectStreamer
EmitValue() and EmitValueImpl() interfaces so it could be used
when creating the MCFixup.

To support compression for debug_line and debug_frame a different
approach is required. To simplify review, revert the old implementation
and XFAIL the test case. New implementation to follow shortly.

I don't think this is reachable by any frontend (why would you transform
asm to asm+debug info?) but it helps tidy up some of this code, avoid
the weird special case of "emit the first CU, store the label, then emit
the rest" in MCDwarfLineTable::Emit by instead having the
DWARF-for-assembly case use the same codepath as DwarfDebug.cpp, by
registering the label of the debug_line section, thus causing it to be
emitted. (with a special case in asm output to just emit the label since
asm output uses the .loc directives, etc, rather than the debug_loc
directly)

1) When creating a .debug_* section and instead create a .zdebug_
section.
2) When creating a fragment in a .zdebug_* section, make it a compressed
fragment.
3) When computing the size of a compressed section, compress the data
and use the size of the compressed data.
4) Emit the compressed bytes.
Also, check that only if a section has a compressed fragment, then that
is the only fragment in the section.
Assert-fail if the fragment's data is modified after it is compressed.
