Front-ends could use global unnamed_addr to hold pointers to other
symbols, like @gotequivalent below:
@foo = global i32 42
@gotequivalent = private unnamed_addr constant i32* @foo
@delta = global i32 trunc (i64 sub (i64 ptrtoint (i32** @gotequivalent to i64),
i64 ptrtoint (i32* @delta to i64))
to i32)
The global @delta holds a data "PC"-relative offset to @gotequivalent,
an unnamed pointer to @foo. The darwin/x86-64 assembly output for this follows:
.globl _foo
_foo:
.long 42
.globl _gotequivalent
_gotequivalent:
.quad _foo
.globl _delta
_delta:
.long _gotequivalent-_delta
Since unnamed_addr indicates that the address is not significant, only
the content, we can optimize the case above by replacing pc-relative
accesses to "GOT equivalent" globals, by a PC relative access to the GOT
entry of the final symbol instead. Therefore, "delta" can contain a pc
relative relocation to foo's GOT entry and we avoid the emission of
"gotequivalent", yielding the assembly code below:
.globl _foo
_foo:
.long 42
.globl _delta
_delta:
.long _foo@GOTPCREL+4
There are a couple of advantages of doing this: (1) Front-ends that need
to emit a great deal of data to store pointers to external symbols could
save space by not emitting such "got equivalent" globals and (2) IR
constructs combined with this opt opens a way to represent GOT pcrel
relocations by using the LLVM IR, which is something we previously had
no way to express.

There exists a helper function to abstract away the various differences
between ConstantVector, ConstantDataVector, ConstantAggregateZero, etc.
Use it to simplify X86WindowsTargetObjectFile::getSectionForConstant.

The constant pool entry code for WinCOFF assumed that vector constants
would be formed using ConstantDataVector, it did not expect to see a
ConstantVector. Furthermore, it did not expect undef as one of the
elements of the vector.
ConstantVectors should be handled like ConstantDataVectors, treat Undef
as zero.

COFF lacks a feature that other object file formats support: mergeable
sections.
To work around this, MSVC sticks constant pool entries in special COMDAT
sections so that each constant is in it's own section. This permits
unused constants to be dropped and it also allows duplicate constants in
different translation units to get merged together.
This fixes PR20262.

TargetLoweringBase is implemented in CodeGen, so before this patch we had
a dependency fom Target to CodeGen. This would show up as a link failure of
llvm-stress when building with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON.
This fixes pr18900.

r201608 made llvm corretly handle private globals with MachO. r201622 fixed
a bug in it and r201624 and r201625 were changes for using private linkage,
assuming that llvm would do the right thing.
They all got reverted because r201608 introduced a crash in LTO. This patch
includes a fix for that. The issue was that TargetLoweringObjectFile now has
to be initialized before we can mangle names of private globals. This is
trivially true during the normal codegen pipeline (the asm printer does it),
but LTO has to do it manually.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@201700 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
The IR
@foo = private constant i32 42
is valid, but before this patch we would produce an invalid MachO from it. It
was invalid because it would use an L label in a section where the liker needs
the labels in order to atomize it.
One way of fixing it would be to just reject this IR in the backend, but that
would not be very front end friendly.
What this patch does is use an 'l' prefix in sections that we know the linker
requires symbols for atomizing them. This allows frontends to just use
private and not worry about which sections they go to or how the linker handles
them.
One small issue with this strategy is that now a symbol name depends on the
section, which is not available before codegen. This is not a problem in
practice. The reason is that it only happens with private linkage, which will
be ignored by the non codegen users (llvm-nm and llvm-ar).

These methods normally call each other and it is really annoying if the
arguments are in different order. The more common rule was that the arguments
specific to call are first (GV, Encoding, Suffix) and the auxiliary objects
(Mang, TM) come after. This patch changes the exceptions.

It is never null and it is not used in casts, so there is no reason to use a
pointer. This matches how we pass TM.

MSVC on x64 requires that we create image relative symbol
references to refer to RTTI data. Seeing as how there is no way to
explicitly make reference to a given relocation type in LLVM IR, pattern
match expressions of the form &foo - &__ImageBase.

This allows getDebugThreadLocalSymbol to return a generic MCExpr
instead of just a MCSymbolRefExpr.
This is in preparation for supporting debug info for TLS variables
on PowerPC, where we need to describe the variable location using
a more complex expression than just MCSymbolRefExpr.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

TargetLoweringObjectFileELF. Use this to support it on X86. Unlike ARM,
on X86 it is not easy to find out if .init_array should be used or not, so
the decision is made via TargetOptions and defaults to off.

There is still a bit more refactoring left to do in Targets. But we are now very
close to fixing all the layering issues in MC.

give it a bit more responsibility. Also implement it for MachO.
If hacked to use cfi, 32 bit MachO will produce
.cfi_personality 155, L___gxx_personality_v0$non_lazy_ptr
and 64 bit will produce
.cfi_presonality ___gxx_personality_v0
The general idea is that .cfi_personality gets passed the final symbol. It is
up to codegen to produce it if using indirect representation (like 32 bit
MachO), but it is up to MC to decide which relocations to create.

- Although it would be nice to allow this decoupling, the assembler needs to be able to reason about MCSymbolRefExprs in too many places to make this viable. We can use a target specific encoding of the variant if this becomes an issue.
- This patch also extends llvm-mc to support parsing of the modifiers, as opposed to lumping them in with the symbol.

to is local to the translation unit, we need to place fill the value of that
symbol into the non-lazy pointer.
This should conclude all Darwin changes for placing the LSDA into the TEXT
section. There is some cleanup to do. I.e., there's no longer a special need for
target-specific code here. But that can come later.
