In an effort to fix inlined information for backtraces under DWARF Fission
in the absence of the split DWARF (.dwo) files, I'm planning on adding
-gmlt-like data to the .o file, alongside the skeleton CU.
Since that will involve teaching the LLVM about -gmlt (moreso than it
already has - the debug info LLVM metadata already describes -gmlt for the
purposes of omitting pubnames in that case) I figured I'd take the
opportunity to move the existing -gmlt functionality to the backend to
begin with, and, in doing so, minimize it a little further since we
wouldn't need to emit debug info for every function - possibly just those
that have functions inlined into them.
So here's an example of some of my ideas about minimized debug info. I'm
wondering if I'm right about what's needed for backtracing.
I've removed uninteresting things, like DW_AT_accessibility (which is a bug
anyway), DW_AT_external (there's no reason symbolication needs that, is
there?), but also less obviously uninteresting things like DW_AT_frame_base
(the location of the frame pointer - is that needed for symbolication?)
Also I've made a frontend (for now) change (see mgmlt_clang.diff) to omit
the data that causes DW_AT_decl_file/DW_AT_decl_line to be emitted - are
those needed? I don't think so.
But importantly: the only DW_TAG_subprograms are either functions that have
been inlined, or functions that have been inlined into. Is that enough?
Is it OK that I haven't included debug info for out of line definitions of
inline functions?
I'm assuming all that information can be retrieved from the symbol table.
(one other thing I noticed is that we don't use the mangled names for
functions in -gmlt - how on earth does that work? The backtrace would look
really strange if it included the unmangled names of functions - or does
the symbolizer use the address range of the out of line definition (if
there is one?) of the inlined function (in which case I'd need to provide
it... ) to find it in the symbol table, get the mangled name, and use that?)
One thing I was thinking of doing as well, is that since the
DW_AT_abstract_origin just points to a trivial subprogram with a name and
DW_AT_inline - perhaps instead of an abstract origin, we could just use
DW_AT_name directly? (with the mangled name, probably) That'd save us
emitting the extra indirection and the name is uniqued already anyway. (and
DW_FORM_strp is the same size as DW_FORM_ref4 (though DW_FORM_strp would
mean extra relocations...) - and perhaps in the near future, DW_FORM_strp
could be replaced by DW_FORM_str_index to reduce relocations)
So... yes/no/maybe?

This sounds great. Teaching backend about the -gmlt might help us in another way: we might enforce full debug info generation in the frontend for -fsanitize= flags, then rely on some parts of this debug info in instrumentation passes and prune it before the actual object file generation. This would be somewhat similar to what -Rpass does, only it kills all the debug info, while we would need to turn full debug info into gmlt-like.

DW_AT_frame_base is largely used as a beginning offset to find things for other expressions, for example it can be used to short cut location information for variables (+/- from the frame base which could be a complicated expression) or used to find captured variables that might be on another function's stack (largely nested functions). It can also help with giving a shortcut for inlined function stack frames if they're distinct, but afaik we don't do that :) So unless we're going to start giving out variable contents with gmlt we don't need to worry. -eric On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 4:55 PM, Chandler Carruth <chandlerc at google.com> wrote:> > On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 4:40 PM, David Blaikie <dblaikie at gmail.com> wrote: > >> So... yes/no/maybe? > > > Other than the frame pointer, all of these sound abstractly good to me.... > but what do I know.
