This reverts commit 9e3b64b9f95aadf57568576712902a272fe66503.
Reason: Broke the UBSan buildbot. See the comments in the pull request
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/85036) for more information.
--compress-sections is similar to --compress-debug-sections but applies
to arbitrary sections.
* `--compress-sections <section>=none`: decompress sections
* `--compress-sections <section>=[zlib|zstd]`: compress sections with zlib/zstd
Like `--remove-section`, the pattern is by default a glob, but a regex
when --regex is specified.
For `--remove-section` like options, `!` prevents matches and is not
dependent on ordering (see `ELF/wildcard-syntax.test`). Since
`--compress-sections a=zlib --compress-sections a=none` naturally allows
overriding, having an order-independent `!` would be confusing.
Therefore, `!` is disallowed.
Sections within a segment are effectively immutable. Report an error for
an attempt to (de)compress them. `SHF_ALLOC` sections in a relocatable
file can be compressed, but linkers usually reject them.

Add --skip-symbol and --skip-symbols options that allow to skip symbols
when executing other options that can change the symbol's name, binding
or visibility, similar to an existing option --keep-symbol that keeps a
symbol from being removed by other options.
Remove support for obfuscated bitcode in dsymutil and the DWARF linker.
We no longer support bitcode submissions and the obfuscation support has
been removed from the rest of the compiler.

As part of the WebAssembly support work
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/82588
As the object files used in the test cases are a single object (just
produced by clang without being processed by wasm-ld), it was determined
to use .o intead of .wasm.
Update the README.txt to reflect that the tool now supports WebAssembly.
Add support for the WebAssembly binary format and be able to generate
logical views.
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/69181
The README.txt includes information about how to build the test cases.
Detect COFF files by default and allow specifying it with --format
argument.
This is important for ARM64EC, which uses a separated symbol map for EC
symbols. Since K_COFF is mostly compatible with K_GNU, this shouldn't
really make a difference for other targets.
This originally landed as #82642, but was reverted due to test failures
in tests using no symbol table. Since COFF symbol can't express it,
fallback to GNU format in that case.
Add options --set-symbol-visibility and --set-symbols-visibility to
manually change the visibility of symbols.
There is already an option to set the visibility of newly added symbols
via --add-symbol and --new-symbol-visibility. This option will allow to
change the visibility of already existing symbols.
This patch adds a LLVM-EXEGESIS-LOOP-REGISTER snippet annotation which
allows a user to specify the register to use for the loop counter in the
loop repetition mode. This allows for executing snippets that don't work
with the default value (currently R8 on X86).
Primary change is to add a flag `--pretty-pgo-analysis-map` to
llvm-readobj and llvm-objdump that prints block frequencies and branch
probabilities in the same manner as BFI and BPI respectively. This can
be helpful if you are manually inspecting the outputs from the tools.
In order to print, I moved the `printBlockFreqImpl` function from
Analysis to Support and renamed it to `printRelativeBlockFreq`.
https://reviews.llvm.org/D63820 added
llvm/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-objcopy.rst with clearer semantics, e.g.
```
Read a list of names from the file <filename> and mark defined symbols with those names as global in the output
instead of the help message
Read a list of symbols from <filename> and marks them global" (omits "defined")
Rename sections called <old> to <new> in the output
instead of the help message
Rename a section from old to new (multiple sections may be named <old>
```
Sync the help messages to incorporate the CommandGuide improvement.
While here, switch to the conventional imperative sentences for a few
options. Additionally, mark some options as grp_coff or grp_macho.
When a section has the SHF_COMPRESSED flag, -p/-x dump the compressed
content by default. In GNU readelf, if --decompress/-z is specified,
-p/-x will dump the decompressed content. This patch implements the
option.
Close#82507
This patch replaces --num-repetitions with --min-instructions to make it
more clear that the value refers to the minimum number of instructions
in the final assembled snippet rather than the number of repetitions of
the snippet. This patch also refactors some llvm-exegesis internal
variable names to reflect the name change.
Fixes#76890.
This patch adds two new repetition modes to llvm-exegesis, particularly
loop and duplicate repetition modes of what I am terming the middle half
repetition mode. The middle half repetition mode essentially runs each
measurement twice, one with twice the number of iterations of the other.
These two measurements are then agregated by taking their difference.
This subtracts away any setup/overhead that is unrelated to the code in
the snippet, providing more accurate results.
Using this mode on a couple toy examples, I am able to get exact
(integer) throughput values on all of them in contrast to the default
duplicate/loop repetition modes which show a little bit of noise on the
snippet value.
`--function=<regex>` Include functions matching regex in the output
`--no-function=<regex>` Exclude functions matching regex from the output
If both are specified, `--no-function` has a higher precedence if a
function name matches both filters
Added -p / --no-params flag to skip demangling function parameters
similar to how it is supported by GNU c++filt tool.
There are cases when users want to demangle a large number of symbols in
bulk, for example, at startup, and do not care about function parameters
and overloads at that time. Skipping the demangling of parameter types
led to a measurable improvement in performance. Our users reported about
15% speed up with GNU c++filt and we expect similar results with
llvm-cxxfilt with this patch.

This patch makes minor adjustments to the llvm-exegesis docs for
clarity. Particularly, an update is made to the list of snippet
annotations to list the correct number of annotations that was not
updated when the docs were originally updated for the snippet address
annotation. In addition, this patch changes a decimal value for the
snippet memory annotation example for an explicit hex value to emphasize
that the LLVM-EXEGESIS-MEM-DEF annotation takes a hex value for the
memory value.
When llvm-objdump switched from cl:: to OptTable
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D100433), we dropped support for LLVM cl::
options. Some LLVM_DEBUG in `llvm/lib/Target/$target/MCDisassembler/`
files might be useful. Add -mllvm to allow dumping the information.
```
# -debug is available in an LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=on build
llvm-objdump -d -mllvm -debug a.o > /dev/null
```

`--gap-fill <value>` fills the gaps between sections with a specified
8-bit value, instead of zero.
`--pad-to <address>` pads the output binary up to the specified load
address, using the 8-bit value from `--gap-fill` or zero.
These options are only supported for ELF input and binary output.
## Motivation
Since we don't need the metadata sections at runtime, we can somehow
offload them from memory at runtime. Initially, I explored [debug info
correlation](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/instrprofiling-lightweight-instrumentation/59113),
which is used for PGO with value profiling disabled. However, it
currently only works with DWARF and it's be hard to add such artificial
debug info for every function in to CodeView which is used on Windows.
So, offloading profile metadata sections at runtime seems to be a
platform independent option.
## Design
The idea is to use new section names for profile name and data sections
and mark them as metadata sections. Under this mode, the new sections
are non-SHF_ALLOC in ELF. So, they are not loaded into memory at runtime
and can be stripped away as a post-linking step. After the process
exits, the generated raw profiles will contains only headers + counters.
llvm-profdata can be used correlate raw profiles with the unstripped
binary to generate indexed profile.
## Data
For chromium base_unittests with code coverage on linux, the binary size
overhead due to instrumentation reduced from 64M to 38.8M (39.4%) and
the raw profile files size reduce from 128M to 68M (46.9%)

A few things to note:
1. llvm-profdata doesn't support filter raw profiles by binary id yet,
so when a raw profile doesn't belongs to the binary being digested by
llvm-profdata, merging will fail. Once this is implemented,
llvm-profdata should be able to only merge raw profiles with the same
binary id as the binary and discard the rest (with mismatched/missing
binary id). The workflow I have in mind is to have scripts invoke
llvm-profdata to get all binary ids for all raw profiles, and
selectively choose the raw pnrofiles with matching binary id and the
binary to llvm-profdata for merging.
2. Note: In COFF, currently they are still loaded into memory but not
used. I didn't do it in this patch because I noticed that `.lcovmap` and
`.lcovfunc` are loaded into memory. A separate patch will address it.
3. This should works with PGO when value profiling is disabled as debug
info correlation currently doing, though I haven't tested this yet.
Recent versions of GNU binutils starting from 2.39 support symbol+offset
lookup in addition to the usual numeric address lookup. This change adds
symbol lookup to llvm-symbolize and llvm-addr2line.
Now llvm-symbolize behaves closer to GNU addr2line, - if the value specified
as address in command line or input stream is not a number, it is treated as
a symbol name. For example:
llvm-symbolize --obj=abc.so func_22
llvm-symbolize --obj=abc.so "CODE func_22"
This lookup is now supported only for functions. Specification with
offset is not supported yet.
This is a recommit of 2b27948783e4bbc1132d3220d8517ef62607b558, reverted
in 39fec5457c0925bd39f67f63fe17391584e08258 because the test
llvm/test/Support/interrupts.test started failing on Windows. The test was
changed in 18f036d0105589c3175bb51a518c5d272dae61e2 and is also updated in
this commit.

This adds support in dsymutil for mergeable libraries [1].
dsymutil reads a new stab emitted by ld, allowing it to operate on
dynamic libraries instead of object files. It also now loads the DWARF
files associated to the libraries, and build the debug map for each
binary from the list of symbols exported by the library. For each Debug
Map Object, there is a new associated Relocation Map which is serialized
from the information retrieved in the original debug_info (or
debug_addr) section of the .o file.
The final DWARF file has multiple compile units, so the offsets
information of the relocations are adjusted relatively to the compile
unit they will end up belonging to, inside the final linked DWARF file.
