This also paves the way for unifying TargetIsa and MachBackend, since now they map one to one. In theory the two traits could be merged, which would be nice to limit the number of total concepts. Also they have quite different responsibilities, so it might be fine to keep them separate.
Interestingly, this PR started as removing RegInfo from the TargetIsa trait since the adapter returned a dummy value there. From the fallout, noticed that all Display implementations didn't needed an ISA anymore (since these were only used to render ISA specific registers). Also the whole family of RegInfo / ValueLoc / RegUnit was exclusively used for the old backend, and these could be removed. Notably, some IR instructions needed to be removed, because they were using RegUnit too: this was the oddball of regfill / regmove / regspill / copy_special, which were IR instructions inserted by the old regalloc. Fare thee well!
Implement the `TlsValue` opcode in the aarch64 backend for ELF_GD.
This is a little bit unusual as the default TLS mechanism for aarch64 is TLS Descriptors in other compilers.
However currently we only recognize elf_gd so lets start with that as a TLS implementation.
Avoid a `panic!()`, and return a proper error, on a NUL byte. We hit a
null-byte check inside the `object` crate otherwise; this blocks fuzzing
when testing via a write-object-file-and-dlopen flow.
This commit is a slight refactoring of the `Module` trait and backend in
`cranelift-object`. The goal is to enable parallelization of compilation
when using `cranelift-object`. Currently this is difficult because
`ObjectModule::define_function` requires `&mut self`. This instead
soups up the `define_function_bytes` interface to handle relocations so
compilation can happen externally before defining it in a `Module`. This
also means that `define_function` is now a convenience wrapper around
`define_function_bytes`.
The `faerie` crate does this by default. `object` itself does not, but
it seems reasonable to make this change for parity between
`cranelift-faerie` and `cranelift-object`.
Experience with the `define_function` API has shown that returning
borrowed slices of `TrapSite` is not ideal: the returned slice
represents a borrow on the entire `Module`, which makes calling back
into methods taking `&mut self` a bit tricky.
To eliminate the problem, let's require the callers of `define_function`
to provide `TrapSink` instances. This style of API enables them to
control when and how traps are collected, and makes the `object` and
`faerie` backends simpler/more efficient by not having to worry about
trap collection.
The current interface of `cranelift-module` requires consumers who want
to be informed about traps to discover that information through
`Module::Product`, which is backend-specific. Since it's advantageous
to manipulate this information in a backend-agnostic way, this patch
changes `Module::define_function{,_bytes}` to return information about
the traps contained in the function being defined.
