When the concurrent back end is not enabled, it is possible to have a
scenario where: we compile a specific inlinable non-pointer-receiver
method T.M, then at some point later on in the compilation we visit a
type that triggers generation of a pointer-receiver wrapper (*T).M,
which then results in an inline of T.M into (*T).M. This introduces
subtle differences in the DWARF as compared with when the concurrent
back end is enabled (in the concurrent case, by the time we run the
SSA back end on T.M is is marked as being inlined, whereas in the
non-current case it is not marked inlined).
As a fix, at the point where we would normally compile a given
function in the xtop list right away, if the function is a method AND
is inlinable AND hasn't been inlined, then delay its compilation until
compileFunctions (so as to make sure that when we do compile it, all
possible inlining has been complete). In addition, make sure that
the abstract function symbol for the inlined function gets recorded
correctly.
Fixes#38068.

The new object files use indices for symbol references, instead
of names. Fundamental to the design, it requires that the
importing and imported packages have consistent view of symbol
indices. The Go command should already ensure this, when using
"go build". But in case it goes wrong, it could lead to obscure
errors like run-time crashes. It would be better to check the
index consistency at build time.
To do that, we add a fingerprint to each object file, which is
a hash of symbol indices. In the object file it records the
fingerprints of all imported packages, as well as its own
fingerprint. At link time, the linker checks that a package's
fingerprint matches the fingerprint recorded in the importing
packages, and issue an error if they don't match.
This CL does the first part: introducing the fingerprint in the
object file, and propagating fingerprints through
importing/exporting by the compiler. It is not yet used by the
linker. Next CL will do.

This patch moves the compiler and linker away from the current scheme
used to generate file references in DWARF subprogram dies.
Up until now the scheme has been to have the compiler emit a special
relocation on a DIE file reference that points to the file symbol in
question. The linker then reads this relocation and updates the addend
to the index of the appropriate file in the line table of the
compilation unit of the DIE (the linker emits the comp unit file
table, so it knows at that point what number use). The drawback of
this scheme is that it requires a lot of relocation processing.
With this patch, we switch to having the compiler emit the file index
directly, and then have the linker use the compiler-generated file
table to emit the line table file section (no renumbering, no
relocations, etc).

When the compiler emits DWARF for a function F, in addition to the
text symbol for F, it emits a set of sibling or child symbols that
carry the various DWARF bits for F (for example, go.info.F,
go.ranges.F, go.loc.F, and so on).
Prior to the linker modernization work, name lookup was the way you
made your way from a function symbol to one of its child DWARF
symbols. We now have a new mechanism (aux symbols), so there is really
no need for the DWARF sub-symbols to be named or to be dupok.
This patch converts DWARF "range" and "loc" sub-symbols to be pure aux
syms: unnamed, and connected to their parent text symbol only via aux
data. This should presumably have performance benefits in that we add
fewer symbols to the linker lookup tables.
Other related DWARF sub-symbols (ex: go.line.*) will be handled in a
subsequent patch.

This is mostly a copy-paste jobs from the linker to generate the debug

inserted into the debug line numbers symbol defined in CL 188238.
Generating the debug information BEFORE deadcode results in one subtle
difference, and that is that the state machine needs to be reset at the
end of every function's debug line table. The reasoning is that
generating the table AFTER dead code allows the producer and consumer of
the table to agree on the state of the state machine, and since these
blocks will (eventually) be concatenated in the linker, we don't KNOW
the state of the state machine unless we reset it. So,
generateDebugLinesSymbol resets the state machine at the end of every
function.
Right now, we don't do anything with this line information, or the file

Currently, when the compiler emits a symbol name in the object
file, it uses "". for the package path of the package being
compiled. This is then expanded in the linker to the actual
package path.
With CL 173938, it does not need an allocation if the symbol name
does not need expansion. In many cases, the compiler actually
knows the package path (through the -p flag), so we could just
write it out in compile time, without fixing it up in the linker.
This reduces allocations in the linker.
In case that the package path is not known (compiler's -p flag is
missing, or the object file is generated by the assembler), the
linker still does the expansion.
This reduces ~100MB allocations (~10% inuse_space) in linking
k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kube-apiserver on Linux/AMD64.
Also makes the linker a little faster: linking cmd/go on
Linux/AMD64:
Real 1.13 ± 1% 1.11 ± 1% -2.13% (p=0.000 n=10+10)
User 1.17 ± 3% 1.14 ± 5% -3.14% (p=0.003 n=10+10)
Sys 0.34 ±15% 0.34 ±15% ~ (p=0.986 n=10+10)
The caveat is that the object files get slightly bigger. On
Linux/AMD64, runtime.a gets 2.1% bigger, cmd/compile/internal/ssa
(which has a longer import path) gets 2.8% bigger.
This reveals that when building an unnamed plugin (e.g.
go build -buildmode=plugin x.go), the go command passes different
package paths to the compiler and to the linker. Before this CL
there seems nothing obviously broken, but given that the compiler
already emits the package's import path in various places (e.g.
debug info), I guess it is possible that this leads to some
unexpected behavior. Now that the compiler writes the package
path in more places, this disagreement actually leads to
unresolved symbols. Adjust the go command to use the same package
path for both compiling and linking.

This repurposes the "version" field of a symbol reference in the Go
object file format to be an ABI field. Currently, this is just 0 or 1
depending on whether the symbol is static (the linker turns it into a
different internal version number), so it's already only tenuously a
symbol version. We change this to be -1 for static symbols and
otherwise by the ABI number.
This also adds a separate list of ABI alias symbols to be recorded in
the object file. The ABI aliases must be a separate list and not just
part of the symbol definitions because it's possible to have a symbol
defined in one package and the alias "defined" in a different package.
For example, this can happen if a symbol is defined in assembly in one
package and stubbed in a different package. The stub triggers the
generation of the ABI alias, but in a different package from the
definition.

To improve debugging, instructions should be annotated with
DWARF is_stmt. The DWARF default before was is_stmt=1, and
to remove "jumpy" stepping the optimizer was tagging
instructions with a no-position position, which interferes
with the accuracy of profiling information. This allows
that to be corrected, and also allows more "jumpy" positions
to be annotated with is_stmt=0 (these changes were not made
for 1.10 because of worries about further messing up
profiling).
The is_stmt values are placed in a pc-encoded table and
passed through a symbol derived from the name of the
function and processed in the linker alongside its
processing of each function's pc/line tables.
The only change in binary size is in the .debug_line tables
measured with "objdump -h --section=.debug_line go1.test"
For go1.test, these are 2614 bytes larger,
or 0.72% of the size of .debug_line,
or 0.025% of the file size.
This will increase in proportion to how much the is_stmt
flag is used (toggled).

The DWARF inline info generation hooks weren't properly
handling unused auto vars in certain cases, triggering an assert (now
fixed). Also with this change, introduce a new autom "flavor" to
use for autom entries that are added to insure that a specific
auto type makes it into the linker (this is a follow-on to the fix
for 22941).

Compiler and linker changes to support DWARF inlined instances,

This functionality is gated via the cmd/compile option -gendwarfinl=N,

a value of 1 turns on dwarf generation without tracking of formal/local
vars from inlined routines, and a value of 2 enables inlines with
variable tracking.

Dsymutil, an utility used on macOS when externally linking executables,
does not support base address selector entries in debug_ranges.
To work around this deficiency this commit removes base address
selectors from debug_ranges and emits instead a list composed only of
compile unit relative addresses.
A new type of relocation is introduced, R_ADDRCUOFF, similar to
R_ADDROFF, that relocates an address to its offset from the low_pc of
the symbol's compile unit.

New relocation flavor R_DWARFFILEREF, to be applied to DWARF attribute
values that correspond to file references (ex: DW_AT_decl_file,
DW_AT_call_file). The LSym for this relocation is the file itself; the
linker replaces the relocation target with the index of the specified
file in the line table's file section.
Note: for testing purposes this patch changes the DWARF function
subprogram DIE abbrev to include DW_AT_decl_file (allowed by DWARF
but not especially useful) so as to have a way to test this
functionality. This attribute will be removed once there are other
file reference attributes (coming as part of inlining support).

Debuggers use DWARF information to find local variables on the
stack and in registers. Prior to this CL, the DWARF information for
functions claimed that all variables were on the stack at all times.
That's incorrect when optimizations are enabled, and results in
debuggers showing data that is out of date or complete gibberish.
After this CL, the compiler is capable of representing variable
locations more accurately, and attempts to do so. Due to limitations of
the SSA backend, it's not possible to be completely correct.
There are a number of problems in the current design. One of the easier
to understand is that variable names currently must be attached to an
SSA value, but not all assignments in the source code actually result
in machine code. For example:
type myint int
var a int
b := myint(int)
and
b := (*uint64)(unsafe.Pointer(a))
don't generate machine code because the underlying representation is the
same, so the correct value of b will not be set when the user would
expect.
Generating the more precise debug information is behind a flag,
dwarflocationlists. Because of the issues described above, setting the
flag may not make the debugging experience much better, and may actually
make it worse in cases where the variable actually is on the stack and
the more complicated analysis doesn't realize it.
A number of changes are included:
- Add a new pseudo-instruction, RegKill, which indicates that the value
in the register has been clobbered.
- Adjust regalloc to emit RegKills in the right places. Significantly,
this means that phis are mixed with StoreReg and RegKills after
regalloc.
- Track variable decomposition in ssa.LocalSlots.
- After the SSA backend is done, analyze the result and build location
lists for each LocalSlot.
- After assembly is done, update the location lists with the assembled
PC offsets, recompose variables, and build DWARF location lists. Emit the
list as a new linker symbol, one per function.
- In the linker, aggregate the location lists into a .debug_loc section.
TODO:
- currently disabled for non-X86/AMD64 because there are no data tables.

Change compiler and linker to emit DWARF lexical blocks in .debug_info
section when compiling with -N -l.
Version of debug_info is updated from DWARF v2 to DWARF v3 since
version 2 does not allow lexical blocks with discontinuous PC ranges.
Remaining open problems:
- scope information is removed from inlined functions
- variables records do not have DW_AT_start_scope attributes so a
variable will shadow other variables with the same name as soon as its
containing scope begins, even before its declaration.

In PPC64 ELF files, the st_other field indicates the number of
prologue instructions between the global and local entry points.
We add the instructions in the compiler and assembler if -shared is used.
We were assuming that the instructions were present when building a
c-archive or PIE or doing dynamic linking, on the assumption that those
are the cases where the go tool would be building with -shared.
That assumption fails when using some other tool, such as Bazel,
that does not necessarily use -shared in exactly the same way.
This CL records in the object file whether a symbol was compiled
with -shared (this will be the same for all symbols in a given compilation)
and uses that information when setting the st_other field.
Fixes#20290.

Prior to this CL, the compiler and assembler
were sloppy about the LSym.Type for LSyms
containing static data.
The linker then fixed this up, converting
Sxxx and SBSS to SDATA, and SNOPTRBSS to SNOPTRDATA
if it noticed that the symbol had associated data.
It is preferable to just get this right in cmd/compile
and cmd/asm, because it removes an unnecessary traversal
of the symbol table from the linker (see #14624).
Do this by touching up the LSym.Type fixes in
LSym.prepwrite and Link.Globl.
I have confirmed by instrumenting the linker
that the now-eliminated code paths were unreached.
And an additional check in the object file writing code
will help preserve that invariant.
There was a case in the Windows linker,
with internal linking and cgo,
where we were generating SNOPTRBSS symbols with data.
For now, convert those at the site at which they occur
into SNOPTRDATA, just like they were.
Does not pass toolstash-check,
but does generate identical linked binaries.
No compiler performance changes.
