Sometimes we need to know the size of a symbol besides its address, so
maybe we can start using the existing `BOLTLinker::lookupSymbolInfo()`
(that returns symbol address and size) and remove
`BOLTLinker::lookupSymbol()` (that only returns symbol address). And for
both we need to check return value as it is wrapped in `std::optional<>`,
which makes the difference even smaller.
Bolt makes use of add_llvm_library and as such ends up exporting its
libraries from LLVMExports.cmake, which is not correct.
Bolt doesn't have its own exports file, and I assume that there is no
desire to have one either -- Bolt libraries are not intended to be
consumed as a cmake module, right?
As such, this PR adds a NO_EXPORT option to simplify exclude these
libraries from the exports file.
Don't call raw_string_ostream::flush(), which is essentially a no-op.
As specified in the docs, raw_string_ostream is always unbuffered.

Continue from #87196 as author did not have much time, I have taken over
working on this PR. We would like to have this so it'll be easier to
package for Nix.
Can be tested by copying cmake, bolt, third-party, and llvm directories
out into their own directory with this PR applied and then build bolt.

BOLT currently hooks its its instrumentation finalization function via
`DT_FINI`. However, this method of calling finalization routines is not
supported anymore on newer ABIs like RISC-V. `DT_FINI_ARRAY` is
preferred there.
This patch adds support for hooking into `DT_FINI_ARRAY` instead if the
binary does not have a `DT_FINI` entry. If it does, `DT_FINI` takes
precedence so this patch should not change how the currently supported
instrumentation targets behave.
`DT_FINI_ARRAY` points to an array in memory of `DT_FINI_ARRAYSZ` bytes.
It consists of pointer-length entries that contain the addresses of
finalization functions. However, the addresses are only filled-in by the
dynamic linker at load time using relative relocations. This makes
hooking via `DT_FINI_ARRAY` a bit more complicated than via `DT_FINI`.
The implementation works as follows:
- While scanning the binary: find the section where `DT_FINI_ARRAY`
points to, read its first dynamic relocation and use its addend to find
the address of the fini function we will use to hook;
- While writing the output file: overwrite the addend of the dynamic
relocation with the address of the runtime library's fini function.
Updating the dynamic relocation required a bit of boiler plate: since
dynamic relocations are stored in a `std::multiset` which doesn't
support getting mutable references to its items, functions were added to
`BinarySection` to take an existing relocation and insert a new one.
The point of instrumentation-sleep-time option is to have a watcher
process which shares memory with all other forks and dumps a common
profile each n seconds. Combining it with append-pid suggests that we
should get a private profile of each fork every n seconds, but such
behavior is not implemented currently and is not easy to implement in
general, because we somehow need to intercept each individual fork,
launch a watcher process just for that fork, and also map counters so
that they're only shared with that single fork. Since we're not doing
it, we just disallow such combination of options.

RuntimeDyld has been deprecated in favor of JITLink. [1] This patch
replaces all uses of RuntimeDyld in BOLT with JITLink.
Care has been taken to minimize the impact on the code structure in
order to ease the inspection of this (rather large) changeset. Since
BOLT relied on the RuntimeDyld API in multiple places, this wasn't
always possible though and I'll explain the changes in code structure
first.
Design note: BOLT uses a JIT linker to perform what essentially is
static linking. No linked code is ever executed; the result of linking
is simply written back to an executable file. For this reason, I
restricted myself to the use of the core JITLink library and avoided ORC
as much as possible.
RuntimeDyld contains methods for loading objects (loadObject) and symbol
lookup (getSymbol). Since JITLink doesn't provide a class with a similar
interface, the BOLTLinker abstract class was added to implement it. It
was added to Core since both the Rewrite and RuntimeLibs libraries make
use of it. Wherever a RuntimeDyld object was used before, it was
replaced with a BOLTLinker object.
There is one major difference between the RuntimeDyld and BOLTLinker
interfaces: in JITLink, section allocation and the application of fixups
(relocation) happens in a single call (jitlink::link). That is, there is
no separate method like finalizeWithMemoryManagerLocking in RuntimeDyld.
BOLT used to remap sections between allocating (loadObject) and linking
them (finalizeWithMemoryManagerLocking). This doesn't work anymore with
JITLink. Instead, BOLTLinker::loadObject accepts a callback that is
called before fixups are applied which is used to remap sections.
The actual implementation of the BOLTLinker interface lives in the
JITLinkLinker class in the Rewrite library. It's the only part of the
BOLT code that should directly interact with the JITLink API.
For loading object, JITLinkLinker first creates a LinkGraph
(jitlink::createLinkGraphFromObject) and then links it (jitlink::link).
For the latter, it uses a custom JITLinkContext with the following
properties:
- Use BOLT's ExecutableFileMemoryManager. This one was updated to
implement the JITLinkMemoryManager interface. Since BOLT never
executes code, its finalization step is a no-op.
- Pass config: don't use the default target passes since they modify
DWARF sections in a way that seems incompatible with BOLT. Also run a
custom pre-prune pass that makes sure sections without symbols are not
pruned by JITLink.
- Implement symbol lookup. This used to be implemented by
BOLTSymbolResolver.
- Call the section mapper callback before the final linking step.
- Copy symbol values when the LinkGraph is resolved. Symbols are stored
inside JITLinkLinker to ensure that later objects (i.e.,
instrumentation libraries) can find them. This functionality used to
be provided by RuntimeDyld but I did not find a way to use JITLink
directly for this.
Some more minor points of interest:
- BinarySection::SectionID: JITLink doesn't have something equivalent to
RuntimeDyld's Section IDs. Instead, sections can only be referred to
by name. Hence, SectionID was updated to a string.
- There seem to be no tests for Mach-O. I've tested a small hello-world
style binary but not more than that.
- On Mach-O, JITLink "normalizes" section names to include the segment
name. I had to parse the section name back from this manually which
feels slightly hacky.

and proceeded to spend a few days looking at it to find probable typos
and fixed a few hundred of them in all of the llvm project (note, the
ones I found are not anywhere near all of them, but it seems like a
good start).

This does *not* link with libLLVM, but with static archives instead. Not
super-great, but at least the build works, which is probably better than
failing.

Summary:
Refactor remaining bolt sources to follow the braces rule for if/else/loop from
[LLVM Coding Standards](https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html).
(cherry picked from FBD33345885)
Summary:
Fix missing string header file inclusion and link_fdata find
problem in lit tests. Change root-level tests to require
linux. Re-enable Windows in our root CMakeLists.txt.
(cherry picked from FBD33296290)
Summary:
Moves source files into separate components, and make explicit
component dependency on each other, so LLVM build system knows how to
build BOLT in BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON.
Please use the -c merge.renamelimit=230 git option when rebasing your
work on top of this change.
To achieve this, we create a new library to hold core IR files (most
classes beginning with Binary in their names), a new library to hold
Utils, some command line options shared across both RewriteInstance
and core IR files, a new library called Rewrite to hold most classes
concerned with running top-level functions coordinating the binary
rewriting process, and a new library called Profile to hold classes
dealing with profile reading and writing.
To remove the dependency from BinaryContext into X86-specific classes,
we do some refactoring on the BinaryContext constructor to receive a
reference to the specific backend directly from RewriteInstance. Then,
the dependency on X86 or AArch64-specific classes is transfered to the
Rewrite library. We can't have the Core library depend on targets
because targets depend on Core (which would create a cycle).
Files implementing the entry point of a tool are transferred to the
tools/ folder. All header files are transferred to the include/
folder. The src/ folder was renamed to lib/.
