Qualifiers on a pointer or reference type may apply to either the
pointee or the pointer itself. Consider 'const char *' and 'char *
const'. In the first example, the pointee data may not be modified
without casts, and in the second example, the pointer may not be updated
to point to new data.
In the general case, qualifiers are applied to types with LF_MODIFIER
records, which support the usual const and volatile qualifiers as well
as the __unaligned extension qualifier.
However, LF_POINTER records, which are used for pointers, references,
and member pointers, have flags for qualifiers applying to the
*pointer*. In fact, this is the only way to represent the restrict
qualifier, which can only apply to pointers, and cannot qualify regular
data types.
This patch causes LLVM to correctly fold 'const' and 'volatile' pointer
qualifiers into the pointer record, as well as adding support for
'__restrict' qualifiers in the same place.

Based on a profile, a couple of hot spots were identified in the
main type merging loop. The code was simplified, a few loops
were re-arranged, and some outlined functions were inlined. This
speeds up type merging by a decent amount, shaving around 3-4 seconds
off of a 40 second link in my test case.

There's some abstraction overhead in the underlying
mechanisms that were being used, and it was leading to an
abundance of small but not-free copies being made. This
showed up on a profile. Eliminating this and going back to
a low-level byte-based implementation speeds up lld with
/DEBUG between 10 and 15%.

This adds the /DEBUG:GHASH option to LLD which will look for
the existence of .debug$H sections in linker inputs and use them
to accelerate type merging. The clang-cl side has already been
added, so this completes the work necessary to begin experimenting
with this feature.

Currently this is an LLVM extension to the COFF spec which is
experimental and intended to speed up linking. For now it is
behind a hidden cl::opt flag, but in the future we can move it
to a "real" cc1 flag and have the driver pass it through whenever
it is appropriate.
The patch to actually make use of this section in lld will come
in a followup.

Previously, when linking against libcmt from the MSVC runtime,
lld-link /verbose would show "Ignoring unknown symbol record
with kind 0x1006". It turns out this was because
TypeIndexDiscovery did not handle S_REGISTER records, so these
records were not getting properly remapped.

Currently nothing uses this, but this at least gets the core
algorithm in, and adds some test to demonstrate correctness.

This was storing the hash alongside the key so that the hash
doesn't need to be re-computed every time, but in doing so it
was allocating a structure to keep the key size small in the
DenseMap. This is a noble goal, but it also leads to a pointer
indirection on every probe, and this cost of this pointer
indirection ends up being higher than the cost of having a
slightly larger entry in the hash table. Removing this not only
simplifies the code, but yields a small but noticeable
performance improvement in the type merging algorithm.

This class had some code that would automatically remap type
indices before hashing and serializing. The only caller of
this method was the TypeStreamMerger anyway, and the method
doesn't make general sense, and prevents making certain future
improvements to the class. So, factoring this up one level
into the TypeStreamMerger where it belongs.

A couple of places in LLD were passing references to
TypeTableCollections around, which makes it hard to change the
implementation at runtime. However, these cases only needed to
iterate over the types in the collection, and TypeCollection
already provides a handy abstract interface for this purpose.
By implementing this interface, we can get rid of the need to
pass TypeTableBuilder references around, which should allow us
to swap the implementation at runtime in subsequent patches.
llvm-svn: 319345
The motivation behind this patch is that future directions require us to
be able to compute the hash value of records independently of actually
using them for de-duplication.
The current structure of TypeSerializer / TypeTableBuilder being a
single entry point that takes an unserialized type record, and then
hashes and de-duplicates it is not flexible enough to allow this.
At the same time, the existing TypeSerializer is already extremely
complex for this very reason -- it tries to be too many things. In
addition to serializing, hashing, and de-duplicating, ti also supports
splitting up field list records and adding continuations. All of this
functionality crammed into this one class makes it very complicated to
work with and hard to maintain.
To solve all of these problems, I've re-written everything from scratch
and split the functionality into separate pieces that can easily be
reused. The end result is that one class TypeSerializer is turned into 3
new classes SimpleTypeSerializer, ContinuationRecordBuilder, and
TypeTableBuilder, each of which in isolation is simple and
straightforward.
A quick summary of these new classes and their responsibilities are:
- SimpleTypeSerializer : Turns a non-FieldList leaf type into a series of
bytes. Does not do any hashing. Every time you call it, it will
re-serialize and return bytes again. The same instance can be re-used
over and over to avoid re-allocations, and in exchange for this
optimization the bytes returned by the serializer only live until the
caller attempts to serialize a new record.
- ContinuationRecordBuilder : Turns a FieldList-like record into a series
of fragments. Does not do any hashing. Like SimpleTypeSerializer,
returns references to privately owned bytes, so the storage is
invalidated as soon as the caller tries to re-use the instance. Works
equally well for LF_FIELDLIST as it does for LF_METHODLIST, solving a
long-standing theoretical limitation of the previous implementation.
- TypeTableBuilder : Accepts sequences of bytes that the user has already
serialized, and inserts them by de-duplicating with a hash table. For
the sake of convenience and efficiency, this class internally stores a
SimpleTypeSerializer so that it can accept unserialized records. The
same is not true of ContinuationRecordBuilder. The user is required to
create their own instance of ContinuationRecordBuilder.

The type index is from the TPI stream, not the IPI stream. Fix the
dumper, fix type index discovery, and add a test in LLD.
Also improve the log message we emit when we fail to rewrite type
indices in LLD. That's how I found this bug.
llvm-svn: 316461
This adds type index discovery and dumper support for symbol record kind
0x1168, which is a list of inlined function ids. This symbol kind is
undocumented, but S_INLINEES is consistent with the existing
nomenclature.
Fixes PR34222
llvm-svn: 316398
The list of register ids was previously written out in a couple of dirrent
places. This puts it in a .def file and also adds a few more registers (e.g.
the x87 regs) which should lead to more readable dumps, but I didn't include
the whole list since that seems unnecessary.
X86_MC::initLLVMToSEHAndCVRegMapping is pretty ugly, but at least it's not
relying on magic constants anymore. The TODO of using tablegen still stands.

We have llvm-readobj for dumping CodeView from object files, and
llvm-pdbutil has always been more focused on PDB. However,
llvm-pdbutil has a lot of useful options for summarizing debug
information in aggregate and presenting high level statistical
views. Furthermore, it's arguably better as a testing tool since
we don't have to write tests to conform to a state-machine like
structure where you match multiple lines in succession, each
depending on a previous match. llvm-pdbutil dumps much more
concisely, so it's possible to use single-line matches in many
cases where as with readobj tests you have to use multi-line
matches with an implicit state machine.
Because of this, I'm adding object file support to llvm-pdbutil.
In fact, this mirrors the cvdump tool from Microsoft, which also
supports both object files and pdb files. In the future we could
perhaps rename this tool llvm-cvutil.
In the meantime, this allows us to deep dive into object files
the same way we already can with PDB files.
