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.

The underlying type of all plain enums in MSVC is 'int', even if the
enumerator contains large 32-bit unsigned values or values greater than
UINT_MAX. The only way to get a large or unsigned enum type is to
request it explicitly with the C++11 strong enum types feature.
However, since LLVM isn't C++11 yet, I had to add a conditional
LLVM_ENUM_INT_TYPE to Compiler.h to control its usage.
The motivating true positive for this change is compiling PointerIntPair
with MSVC for win64. The PointerIntMask value is supposed to be pointer
sized value of all ones with some low zeros. Instead, it's truncated to
32-bits! We are only saved later because it is sign extended back in
the AND with int64_t, and we happen to want all ones.
This silences lots of -Wmicrosoft warnings during a clang self-host
targeting Windows.

In ELF (as in MachO), not all relocations point to symbols. Represent this
properly by using a symbol_iterator instead of a SymbolRef. Update llvm-readobj
ELF's dumper to handle relocatios without symbols.
llvm-svn: 183284
For COFF and MachO, sections semantically have relocations that apply to them.
That is not the case on ELF.
In relocatable objects (.o), a section with relocations in ELF has offsets to
another section where the relocations should be applied.
In dynamic objects and executables, relocations don't have an offset, they have
a virtual address. The section sh_info may or may not point to another section,
but that is not actually used for resolving the relocations.
This patch exposes that in the ObjectFile API. It has the following advantages:
* Most (all?) clients can handle this more efficiently. They will normally walk
all relocations, so doing an effort to iterate in a particular order doesn't
save time.
* llvm-readobj now prints relocations in the same way the native readelf does.
* probably most important, relocations that don't point to any section are now
visible. This is the case of relocations in the rela.dyn section. See the
updated relocation-executable.test for example.

For regular object files this is only meaningful for common symbols. An object
file format with direct support for atoms should be able to provide alignment
information for all symbols.
This replaces getCommonSymbolAlignment and fixes
test-common-symbols-alignment.ll on darwin. This also includes a fix to
MachOObjectFile::getSymbolFlags. It was marking undefined symbols as common
(already tested by existing mcjit tests now that it is used).

AKA: Recompile *ALL* the source code!
This one went much better. No manual edits here. I spot-checked for
silliness and grep-checked for really broken edits and everything seemed
good. It all still compiles. Yell if you see something that looks goofy.
