S_UDT records are basically the "bridge" between the debugger's
expression evaluator and the type information. If you type
(Foo*)nullptr into the watch window, the debugger looks for an
S_UDT record named Foo. If it can find one, it displays your type.
Otherwise you get an error.
We have always understood this to mean that if you have code like
this:
struct A {
int X;
};
struct B {
typedef A AT;
AT Member;
};
that you will get 3 S_UDT records. "A", "B", and "B::AT". Because
if you were to type (B::AT*)nullptr into the debugger, it would
need to find an S_UDT record named "B::AT".
But "B::AT" is actually the S_UDT record that would be generated
if B were a namespace, not a struct. So the debugger needs to be
able to distinguish this case. So what it does is:
1. Look for an S_UDT named "B::AT". If it finds one, it knows
that AT is in a namespace.
2. If it doesn't find one, split at the scope resolution operator,
and look for an S_UDT named B. If it finds one, look up the type
for B, and then look for AT as one of its members.
With this algorithm, S_UDT records for nested typedefs are not just
unnecessary, but actually wrong!
The results of implementing this in clang are dramatic. It cuts
our /DEBUG:FASTLINK PDB sizes by more than 50%, and we go from
being ~20% larger than MSVC PDBs on average, to ~40% smaller.
It also slightly speeds up link time. We get about 10% faster
links than without this patch.

Summary:
This intrinsic represents a label with a list of associated metadata
strings. It is modelled as reading and writing inaccessible memory so
that it won't be removed as dead code. I think the intention is that the
annotation strings should appear at most once in the debug info, so I
marked it noduplicate. We are allowed to inline code with annotations as
long as we strip the annotation, but that can be done later.

Summary:
Some variables show up in Visual Studio as "optimized out" even in -O0
-Od builds. This change fixes two issues that would cause this to
happen. The first issue is that not all DIExpressions we generate were
recognized by the CodeView writer. This has been addressed by adding
support for DW_OP_constu, DW_OP_minus, and DW_OP_plus. The second
issue is that we had no way to encode DW_OP_deref in CodeView. We get
around that by changinge the type we encode in the debug info to be
a reference to the type in the source code.
This fixes PR34261.
The reland adds two extra checks to the original: It checks if the
DbgVariableLocation is valid before checking any of its fields, and
it only emits ranges with nonzero registers.

S_UDT symbols are the debugger's "index" for all the structs,
typedefs, classes, and enums in a program. If any of those
structs/classes don't have a complete declaration, or if there
is a typedef to something that doesn't have a complete definition,
then emitting the S_UDT is unhelpful because it doesn't give
the debugger enough information to do anything useful. On the
other hand, it results in a huge size blow-up in the resulting
PDB, which is exacerbated by an order of magnitude when linking
with /DEBUG:FASTLINK.
With this patch, we drop S_UDT records for types that refer either
directly or indirectly (e.g. through a typedef, pointer, etc) to
a class/struct/union/enum without a complete definition. This
brings us about 50% of the way towards parity with /DEBUG:FASTLINK
PDBs generated from cl-compiled object files.

Summary:
This change achieves two things:
- Redefine the Custom Event handling instrumentation points emitted by
the compiler to not require dynamic relocation of references to the
__xray_CustomEvent trampoline.
- Remove the synthetic reference we emit at the end of a function that
we used to keep auxiliary sections alive in favour of SHF_LINK_ORDER
associated with the section where the function is defined.
To achieve the custom event handling change, we've had to introduce the
concept of sled versioning -- this will need to be supported by the
runtime to allow us to understand how to turn on/off the new version of
the custom event handling sleds. That change has to land first before we
change the way we write the sleds.
To remove the synthetic reference, we rely on a relatively new linker
feature that preserves the sections that are associated with each other.
This allows us to limit the effects on the .text section of ELF
binaries.
Because we're still using absolute references that are resolved at
runtime for the instrumentation map (and function index) maps, we mark
these sections write-able. In the future we can re-define the entries in
the map to use relative relocations instead that can be statically
determined by the linker. That change will be a bit more invasive so we
defer this for later.
Depends on D36816.

In the last half-dozen commits to LLVM I removed code that became dead
after removing the offset parameter from llvm.dbg.value gradually
proceeding from IR towards the backend. Before I can move on to
DwarfDebug and friends there is one last side-called offset I need to
remove: This patch modifies PrologEpilogInserter's use of the
DBG_VALUE's offset argument to use a DIExpression instead. Because the
PrologEpilogInserter runs at the Machine level I had to play a little
trick with a named llvm.dbg.mir node to get the DIExpressions to print
in MIR dumps (which print the llvm::Module followed by the
MachineFunction dump).
I also had to add rudimentary DwarfExpression support to CodeView and
as a side-effect also fixed a bug (CodeViewDebug::collectVariableInfo
was supposed to give up on variables with complex DIExpressions, but
would fail to do so for fragments, which are also modeled as
DIExpressions).
With this last holdover removed we will have only one canonical way of
representing offsets to debug locations which will simplify the code
in DwarfDebug (and future versions of CodeViewDebug once it starts
handling more complex expressions) and make it easier to reason about.
This patch is NFC-ish: All test case changes are for assembler
comments and the binary output does not change.

When the first instruction of a basic block has no location (consider a
LEA materializing the address of an alloca for a call), we want to start
the line table for the block with the first valid source location in the
block. We need to ignore DBG_VALUE instructions during this scan to get
decent line tables.

(from comments in the test)
Group ranges in a range list that apply to the same section and use a base
address selection entry to reduce the number of relocations to one reloc per
section per range list. DWARF5 debug_rnglist will be more efficient than this
in terms of relocations, but it's still better than one reloc per entry in a
range list.
This is an object/executable size tradeoff - shrinking objects, but growing
the linked executable. In one large binary tested, total object size (not just
debug info) shrank by 16%, entirely relocation entries. Linked executable
grew by 4%. This was with compressed debug info in the objects, uncompressed
in the linked executable. Without compression in the objects, the win would be
smaller (the growth of debug_ranges itself would be more significant).

This can come up in ThinLTO & wastes space & makes degenerate IR.
As per the added FIXME, ultimately, local imported entities should hang
off the function and that way the imported entity list on the CU can be
tested for emptiness like all the other CU lists.
(function-attached local imported entities are probably also the best
path forward for fixing how imported entities are handled both in
cross-module use (currently, while ThinLTO preserves the imported
entities, they would not get used at the imported inlined location -
only in the abstract origin that appears in the partial CU created by
the import (which isn't emitted under Fission due to cross-CU
limitations there)) and to reduce the number of points where imported
entities are emitted (they're currently emitted into every inlined
instance, concrete instance, and abstract origin - they should only go
in teh abstract origin if there is one, otherwise in the concrete
instance - but this requires lots of delayed handling and wiring up,
same as abstract variables & subprograms))

Local imported entities at the top level of a subprogram were being
handled differently from those in nested scopes - that different
handling would cause pseudo concrete out-of-line definitions to be
created (but without any of their attributes, nor an abstract_origin) in
the case where there was no real concrete definition.
These local imported entities also only appeared in the concrete
definition where those imported entities in nested scopes appear in all
cases (abstract, concrete, and inlined). This change at least makes top
level case handle the same as the others - though there's a FIXME to
improve this to /only/ emit them into the abstract origin (though this
requires more plumbing - like the abstract subprogram and variable
handling that must defer population until the end of the unit to
discover if there is an abstract origin, or only a standalone concrete
definition).

This is a better fix than r308708 for the problem introduced in
r304020. It restores the skeleton CU testcases modified by that commit
to their original form and most importantly ensures that
frontend-generated skeleton CUs (such as used to point to Clang
modules) come after the regular CUs. This broke for DICompileUnit
nodes that don't have any immediate children because they are now
constructed lazily instead of the order in which they are listed in
!llvm.dbg.cu. After this commit we still don't guarantee that order,
but we do guarantee that empty skeletons come last.
Shipping versions of LLDB are very sensitive to the ordering of
CUs. I'll track a fix for LLDB to be more permissive separately.
This fixes a test failure in the LLDB testsuite.

DIImportedEntity has a line number, but not a file field. To determine
the decl_line/decl_file we combine the line number from the
DIImportedEntity with the file from the DIImportedEntity's scope. This
does not work correctly when the parent scope is a DINamespace or a
DIModule, both of which do not have a source file.
This patch adds a file field to DIImportedEntity to unambiguously
identify the source location of the using/import declaration. Most
testcase updates are mechanical, the interesting one is the removal of
the FIXME in test/DebugInfo/Generic/namespace.ll.

If the instructions at the beginning of the block have no location,
we're better off using the location of the first instruction in the
current basic block. At the very least, that instruction post-dominates
this one, whereas if we don't emit a .cv_loc directive, we end up using
the potentially invalid location that falls through from the previous
block.
We could probably do better here by emitting some kind of ".cv_loc end"
directive that stops the line table entry of the previous .cv_loc
directive from bleeding out of its basic block. This would improve the
line table when an entire MBB has no valid location info.
