Just enough features are implemented to process a simple "hello world"
executable and produce something that still runs (including libc calls).
This was mainly a matter of implementing support for various
relocations. Currently, the following are handled:
- R_RISCV_JAL
- R_RISCV_CALL
- R_RISCV_CALL_PLT
- R_RISCV_BRANCH
- R_RISCV_RVC_BRANCH
- R_RISCV_RVC_JUMP
- R_RISCV_GOT_HI20
- R_RISCV_PCREL_HI20
- R_RISCV_PCREL_LO12_I
- R_RISCV_RELAX
- R_RISCV_NONE
Executables linked with linker relaxation will probably fail to be
processed. BOLT relocates .text to a high address while leaving .plt at
its original (low) address. This causes PC-relative PLT calls that were
relaxed to a JAL to not fit their offset in an I-immediate anymore. This
is something that will be addressed in a later patch.
Changes to the BOLT core are relatively minor. Two things were tricky to
implement and needed slightly larger changes. I'll explain those below.
The R_RISCV_CALL(_PLT) relocation is put on the first instruction of a
AUIPC/JALR pair, the second does not get any relocation (unlike other
PCREL pairs). This causes issues with the combinations of the way BOLT
processes binaries and the RISC-V MC-layer handles relocations:
- BOLT reassembles instructions one by one and since the JALR doesn't
have a relocation, it simply gets copied without modification;
- Even though the MC-layer handles R_RISCV_CALL properly (adjusts both
the AUIPC and the JALR), it assumes the immediates of both
instructions are 0 (to be able to or-in a new value). This will most
likely not be the case for the JALR that got copied over.
To handle this difficulty without resorting to RISC-V-specific hacks in
the BOLT core, a new binary pass was added that searches for
AUIPC/JALR pairs and zeroes-out the immediate of the JALR.
A second difficulty was supporting ABS symbols. As far as I can tell,
ABS symbols were not handled at all, causing __global_pointer$ to break.
RewriteInstance::analyzeRelocation was updated to handle these
generically.
Tests are provided for all supported relocations. Note that in order to
test the correct handling of PLT entries, an ELF file produced by GCC
had to be used. While I tried to strip the YAML representation, it's
still quite large. Any suggestions on how to improve this would be
appreciated.

Linker might relax adrp + ldr got address loading to adrp + add for
local non-preemptible symbols (e.g. hidden/protected symbols in
executable). As usually linker doesn't change relocations properly after
relaxation, so we have to handle such cases by ourselves. To do that
during relocations reading we change LD64 reloc to ADD if instruction
mismatch found and introduce FixRelaxationPass that searches for ADRP+ADD
pairs and after performing some checks we're replacing ADRP target symbol
to already fixed ADDs one.

Supress failed to analyze relocations warning for R_AARCH64_LD_PREL_LO19
relocation. This relocation is mostly used to get value stored in CI and
we don't process it since we are caluclating target address using the
instruction value in evaluateMemOperandTarget().

The linker can convert instructions with GOTPCRELX relocations into a
form that uses an absolute addressing with an immediate. BOLT needs to
recognize such conversions and symbolize the immediates.

PC-relative memory operand could reference a different object from
the one located at the target address, e.g. when a negative offset
is used. Check relocations for the real referenced object.

This patch changes patchELFAllocatableRelaSections from going through
old relocations sections and update the relocation offsets to emitting
the relocations stored in binary sections. This is needed in case we
would like to remove and add dynamic relocations during BOLT work and it
is used by golang support pass. Note: Currently we emit relocations in
the old sections, so the total number of them should be equal or less
of old number.
Testing: No special tests are neeeded, since this patch does not fix
anything or add new functionality (it only prepares to add). Every
PIC-compiled test binary will use this code and thus become a test.
But just in case the aarch64 dynamic relocations tests were added.

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/.
