This returns either the symbol offset or address. Since it is not defined which
one, it never has to lookup the section and so never fails.
I will add users in the next commit.

COFF and MachO only define symbol sizes for common symbols. Reflect that
in the class hierarchy by having a method for common symbols only in the base
and a general one in ELF.
This avoids the need of using a magic value for the size, which had a few
problems
* Most callers didn't check for it.
* The ones that did could not tell the magic value from a file actually having
that value.

There are 3 types of relocations on MachO
* Scattered
* Section based
* Symbol based
On ELF and COFF relocations are symbol based.
We were in the strange situation that we abstracted over two of them. This makes
section based relocations MachO only.

make_error_code(object_error) is slow because object::object_category()
uses a ManagedStatic variable. But the real problem is that the function is
called too frequently. This patch uses std::error_code() instead of
object_error::success. In most cases, we return "success", so this patch
reduces number of function calls to that function.

Summary:
This supersedes http://reviews.llvm.org/D4010, hopefully properly
dealing with the JIT case and also adds an actual test case.
DwarfContext was basically already usable for the JIT (and back when
we were overwriting ELF files it actually worked out of the box by
accident), but in order to resolve relocations correctly it needs
to know the load address of the section.
Rather than trying to get this out of the ObjectFile or requiring
the user to create a new ObjectFile just to get some debug info,
this adds the capability to pass in that info directly.
As part of this I separated out part of the LoadedObjectInfo struct
from RuntimeDyld, since it is now required at a higher layer.

These methods are only used by MCJIT and are very specific to it. In fact, they
are also fairly specific to the fact that we have a dynamic linker of
relocatable objects.

There are two methods in SectionRef that can fail:
* getName: The index into the string table can be invalid.
* getContents: The section might point to invalid contents.
Every other method will always succeed and returning and std::error_code just
complicates the code. For example, a section can have an invalid alignment,
but if we are able to get to the section structure at all and create a
SectionRef, we will always be able to read that invalid alignment.

Owning the buffer is somewhat inflexible. Some Binaries have sub Binaries
(like Archive) and we had to create dummy buffers just to handle that. It is
also a bad fit for IRObjectFile where the Module wants to own the buffer too.
Keeping this ownership would make supporting IR inside native objects
particularly painful.
This patch focuses in lib/Object. If something elsewhere used to own an Binary,
now it also owns a MemoryBuffer.
This patch introduces a few new types.
* MemoryBufferRef. This is just a pair of StringRefs for the data and name.
This is to MemoryBuffer as StringRef is to std::string.
* OwningBinary. A combination of Binary and a MemoryBuffer. This is needed
for convenience functions that take a filename and return both the
buffer and the Binary using that buffer.
The C api now uses OwningBinary to avoid any change in semantics. I will start
a new thread to see if we want to change it and how.

This patch enables the new ELFv2 ABI in the runtime dynamic loader.
The loader has to implement the following features:
- In the ELFv2 ABI, do not look up a function descriptor in .opd, but
instead use the local entry point when resolving a direct call.
- Update the TOC restore code to use the new TOC slot linkage area
offset.
- Create PLT stubs appropriate for the ELFv2 ABI.
Note that this patch also adds common-code changes. These are necessary
because the loader must check the newly added ELF flags: the e_flags
header bits encoding the ABI version, and the st_other symbol table
entry bits encoding the local entry point offset. There is currently
no way to access these, so I've added ObjectFile::getPlatformFlags and
SymbolRef::getOther accessors.

This makes the buffer ownership on error conditions very natural. The buffer
is only moved out of the argument if an object is constructed that now
owns the buffer.
llvm-svn: 211546
This allows us to just use a std::unique_ptr to store the pointer to the buffer.
The flip side is that they have to support releasing the buffer back to the
caller.
Overall this looks like a more efficient and less brittle api.

We normally don't drop functions from the C API's, but in this case I think we
can:
* The old implementation of getFileOffset was fairly broken
* The introduction of LLVMGetSymbolFileOffset was itself a C api breaking
change as it removed LLVMGetSymbolOffset.
* It is an incredibly specialized use case. The only reason MCJIT needs it is
because of its odd position of being a dynamic linker of .o files.
llvm-svn: 206750
This has the following advantages:
* Less code.
* The old ELF implementation was wrong for non-relocatable objects.
* The old ELF implementation (and I think MachO) was wrong for thumb.
No current testcase since this is only used from MCJIT and it only uses
relocatable objects and I don't think it supports thumb yet.

Some targets require more than one relocation entry to perform a relocation.
This change allows processRelocationRef to process more than one relocation
entry at a time by passing the relocation iterator itself instead of just
the relocation entry.

Summary:
This adds ObjectFile::section_iterator_range, that allows to write
range-based for-loops running over all sections of a given file.
Several files from lib/ are converted to the new interface. Similar fixes
should be applied to a variety of llvm-* tools.

This interface allows IRObjectFile to be implemented without having dummy
methods for all section and segment related methods.
Both llvm-ar and llvm-nm are changed to use it. Unfortunately the mangler is
still not plugged in since it requires some refactoring to make a Module hold
a DataLayout.

COFF has only one symbol table.
MachO has a LC_DYSYMTAB, but that is not a symbol table, just extra info about
the one symbol table (LC_SYMTAB).
IR (coming soon) also has only one table.

None of the object file formats reported error on iterator increment. In
retrospect, that is not too surprising: no object format stores symbols or
sections in a linked list or other structure that requires chasing pointers.
As a consequence, all error checking can be done on begin() and end().
This reduces the text segment of bin/llvm-readobj in my machine from 521233 to
518526 bytes.

identify_magic is not free, so we should avoid calling it twice. The argument
also makes it cheap for createBinary to just forward to createObjectFile.

The constructors of classes deriving from Binary normally take an error_code
as an argument to the constructor. My original intent was to change them
to have a trivial constructor and move the initial parsing logic to a static
method returning an ErrorOr. I changed my mind because:
* A constructor with an error_code out parameter is extremely convenient from
the implementation side. We can incrementally construct the object and give
up when we find an error.
* It is very efficient when constructing on the stack or when there is no
error. The only inefficient case is where heap allocating and an error is
found (we have to free the memory).
The result is that this is a much smaller patch. It just standardizes the
create* helpers to return an ErrorOr.
Almost no functionality change: The only difference is that this found that
we were trying to read past the end of COFF import library but ignoring the
error.
