BOLT uses `MCAsmLayout` to calculate the output values of functions and
basic blocks. This means output values are calculated based on a
pre-linking state and any changes to symbol values during linking will
cause incorrect values to be used.
This issue can be triggered by enabling linker relaxation on RISC-V.
Since linker relaxation can remove instructions, symbol values may
change. This causes, among other things, the symbol table created by
BOLT in the output executable to be incorrect.
This patch solves this issue by using `BOLTLinker` to get symbol values
instead of `MCAsmLayout`. This way, output values are calculated based
on a post-linking state. To make sure the linker can update all
necessary symbols, this patch also makes sure all these symbols are not
marked as temporary so that they end-up in the object file's symbol
table.
Note that this patch only deals with symbols of binary functions
(`BinaryFunction::updateOutputValues`). The technique described above
turned out to be too expensive for basic block symbols so those are
handled differently in D155604.

RuntimeDyld has been deprecated in favor of JITLink. [1] This patch
replaces all uses of RuntimeDyld in BOLT with JITLink.
Care has been taken to minimize the impact on the code structure in
order to ease the inspection of this (rather large) changeset. Since
BOLT relied on the RuntimeDyld API in multiple places, this wasn't
always possible though and I'll explain the changes in code structure
first.
Design note: BOLT uses a JIT linker to perform what essentially is
static linking. No linked code is ever executed; the result of linking
is simply written back to an executable file. For this reason, I
restricted myself to the use of the core JITLink library and avoided ORC
as much as possible.
RuntimeDyld contains methods for loading objects (loadObject) and symbol
lookup (getSymbol). Since JITLink doesn't provide a class with a similar
interface, the BOLTLinker abstract class was added to implement it. It
was added to Core since both the Rewrite and RuntimeLibs libraries make
use of it. Wherever a RuntimeDyld object was used before, it was
replaced with a BOLTLinker object.
There is one major difference between the RuntimeDyld and BOLTLinker
interfaces: in JITLink, section allocation and the application of fixups
(relocation) happens in a single call (jitlink::link). That is, there is
no separate method like finalizeWithMemoryManagerLocking in RuntimeDyld.
BOLT used to remap sections between allocating (loadObject) and linking
them (finalizeWithMemoryManagerLocking). This doesn't work anymore with
JITLink. Instead, BOLTLinker::loadObject accepts a callback that is
called before fixups are applied which is used to remap sections.
The actual implementation of the BOLTLinker interface lives in the
JITLinkLinker class in the Rewrite library. It's the only part of the
BOLT code that should directly interact with the JITLink API.
For loading object, JITLinkLinker first creates a LinkGraph
(jitlink::createLinkGraphFromObject) and then links it (jitlink::link).
For the latter, it uses a custom JITLinkContext with the following
properties:
- Use BOLT's ExecutableFileMemoryManager. This one was updated to
implement the JITLinkMemoryManager interface. Since BOLT never
executes code, its finalization step is a no-op.
- Pass config: don't use the default target passes since they modify
DWARF sections in a way that seems incompatible with BOLT. Also run a
custom pre-prune pass that makes sure sections without symbols are not
pruned by JITLink.
- Implement symbol lookup. This used to be implemented by
BOLTSymbolResolver.
- Call the section mapper callback before the final linking step.
- Copy symbol values when the LinkGraph is resolved. Symbols are stored
inside JITLinkLinker to ensure that later objects (i.e.,
instrumentation libraries) can find them. This functionality used to
be provided by RuntimeDyld but I did not find a way to use JITLink
directly for this.
Some more minor points of interest:
- BinarySection::SectionID: JITLink doesn't have something equivalent to
RuntimeDyld's Section IDs. Instead, sections can only be referred to
by name. Hence, SectionID was updated to a string.
- There seem to be no tests for Mach-O. I've tested a small hello-world
style binary but not more than that.
- On Mach-O, JITLink "normalizes" section names to include the segment
name. I had to parse the section name back from this manually which
feels slightly hacky.

This patch mechanically replaces None with std::nullopt where the
compiler would warn if None were deprecated. The intent is to reduce
the amount of manual work required in migrating from Optional to
std::optional.
This is part of an effort to migrate from llvm::Optional to
std::optional:

Simplify the logic of handling sections in BOLT. This change brings more
direct and predictable mapping of BinarySection instances to sections in
the input and output files.
* Only sections from the input binary will have a non-null SectionRef.
When a new section is created as a copy of the input section,
its SectionRef is reset to null.
* RewriteInstance::getOutputSectionName() is removed as the section name
in the output file is now defined by BinarySection::getOutputName().
* Querying BinaryContext for sections by name uses their original name.
E.g., getUniqueSectionByName(".rodata") will return the original
section even if the new .rodata section was created.
* Input file sections (with relocations applied) are emitted via MC with
".bolt.org" prefix. However, their name in the output binary is
unchanged unless a new section with the same name is created.
* New sections are emitted internally with ".bolt.new" prefix if there's
a name conflict with an input file section. Their original name is
preserved in the output file.
* Section header string table is properly populated with section names
that are actually used. Previously we used to include discarded
section names as well.
* Fix the problem when dynamic relocations were propagated to a new
section with a name that matched a section in the input binary.
E.g., the new .rodata with jump tables had dynamic relocations from
the original .rodata.

Summary:
Since nops are now removed in a separate pass, the profile is consumed
on a CFG with nops. If previously a profile was generated without nops,
the offsets in the profile could be different if branches included nops
either as a source or a destination.
This diff adjust offsets to make the profile reading backwards
compatible.

Summary:
Moves source files into separate components, and make explicit
component dependency on each other, so LLVM build system knows how to
build BOLT in BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON.
Please use the -c merge.renamelimit=230 git option when rebasing your
work on top of this change.
To achieve this, we create a new library to hold core IR files (most
classes beginning with Binary in their names), a new library to hold
Utils, some command line options shared across both RewriteInstance
and core IR files, a new library called Rewrite to hold most classes
concerned with running top-level functions coordinating the binary
rewriting process, and a new library called Profile to hold classes
dealing with profile reading and writing.
To remove the dependency from BinaryContext into X86-specific classes,
we do some refactoring on the BinaryContext constructor to receive a
reference to the specific backend directly from RewriteInstance. Then,
the dependency on X86 or AArch64-specific classes is transfered to the
Rewrite library. We can't have the Core library depend on targets
because targets depend on Core (which would create a cycle).
Files implementing the entry point of a tool are transferred to the
tools/ folder. All header files are transferred to the include/
folder. The src/ folder was renamed to lib/.
