yaml2obj creates invalid object files even when the input was created by
obj2yaml using a valid object file. On the other hand, yaml2obj is used
to intentionally create invalid object files for testing purposes.
This update balances using specified input values when provided and
computing file offsets and sizes if necessary.
C_FILE symbols. To match the behavior of the assembler and the legacy
compiler, this includes using the generic ".file" name for the C_FILE
symbol and generating the actual file name in an auxiliary entry.
This presents misleading and confusing output. If you have a function
defined at the beginning of an XCOFF object file, and you have a
function call to an external function, the function call disassembles as
a branch to the local function. That is,
`void f() { f(); g();}`
disassembles as
>00000000 <.f>:
0: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr 0
4: 94 21 ff c0 stwu 1, -64(1)
8: 90 01 00 48 stw 0, 72(1)
c: 4b ff ff f5 bl 0x0 <.f>
10: 4b ff ff f1 bl 0x0 <.f>
With this PR, the second call will display:
`10: 4b ff ff f1 bl 0x0 <.g> `
Using -r can help, but you still get the confusing output:
>10: 4b ff ff f1 bl 0x0 <.f>
00000010: R_RBR .g
Branch-absolute instructions are currently printed in decimal, and
negative addresses are printed as positive numbers.
With this change, addresses are printed in hex and negative addresses
are converted to an unsigned 32- or 64-bit address.
If a virtual register is not assigned preferred physical register, it means some
COPY instructions will be changed to real register move instructions. In this
case we can try to split the virtual register in colder blocks, if success, the
original COPY instructions can be deleted, and the new COPY instructions in
colder blocks will be generated as register move instructions. It results in
fewer dynamic register move instructions executed.
The new test case split-reg-with-hint.ll gives an example, the hot path contains
24 instructions without this patch, now it is only 4 instructions with this
patch.

The current implementation generates a csect with a
".rodata.str.x.y" prefix for a MergeableCString variable definition.
However, a reference to such variable does not get the prefix in its
name because there's not enough information in the containing IR.
In particular, without seeing the initializer and absent of some other
indicators, we cannot tell that the referenced variable is a null-
terminated string.
When the AIX codegen in llvm was being developed, the prefixing was copied
from ELF without having the linker take advantage of the info.
Currently, the AIX linker does not have the capability to merge
MergeableCString variables. If such feature would ever get implemented,
the contract between the linker and compiler would have to be reconsidered.
Here's the before and after of this change:
```
@a = global i64 320255973571806, align 8
@strA = unnamed_addr constant [7 x i8] c"hello\0A\00", align 1 ;; Mergeable1ByteCString
@strB = unnamed_addr constant [8 x i8] c"Blahah\0A\00", align 1 ;; Mergeable1ByteCString
@strC = unnamed_addr constant [2 x i16] [i16 1, i16 0], align 2 ;; Mergeable2ByteCString
@strD = unnamed_addr constant [2 x i16] [i16 1, i16 1], align 2 ;; !isMergeableCString
@strE = external unnamed_addr constant [2 x i16], align 2

When generating XCOFF, the compiler generates a csect with an internal
name. Each function results in a label within the csect. This patch
replaces the internal name ".text" with an empty string "". This avoids
adding special code to handle a function text() in the source file, and
works better with some XCOFF tools that are confused when the csect and
the first function have the same address.

This patch intends to fix incomplete relocation printing for
XCOFF (potentially for other targets).
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D77580
SUMMARY:
For the llvm-objdump -D, the symbol name is used as a label in the disassembly for the specific address (when a symbol address is equal to the virtual address in the dump).
In XCOFF, multiple symbols may have the same name, being differentiated by their storage mapping class. It is helpful to print the QualName and not just the name when forming the output label for a csect symbol. The symbol index further removes any ambiguity caused by duplicate names.
To maintain compatibility with the binutils objdump, the XCOFF-specific --symbol-description option is added to enable the enhanced format.

Summary:
When we encounter an XCOFF file, reflect that in the triple information.
In addition to knowing the object file format, we know that the
associated OS is AIX.
This means that we can expect that there is no output difference in the
processing of an XCOFF32 input file between cases where the triple is
left unspecified by the user and cases where the user specifies
`--triple powerpc-ibm-aix` explicitly.
