40 // Branch-range extension can be implemented in two ways, either through ...
42 // (1) Branch islands: Single branch instructions (also of limited range),
43 // that might be chained in multiple hops to reach the desired
44 // destination. On ARM64, as 16 branch islands are needed to hop between
45 // opposite ends of a 2 GiB program. LD64 uses branch islands exclusively,
46 // even when it needs excessive hops.
48 // (2) Thunks: Instruction(s) to load the destination address into a scratch
49 // register, followed by a register-indirect branch. Thunks are
50 // constructed to reach any arbitrary address, so need not be
51 // chained. Although thunks need not be chained, a program might need
52 // multiple thunks to the same destination distributed throughout a large
53 // program so that all call sites can have one within range.
55 // The optimal approach is to mix islands for destinations within two hops,
56 // and use thunks for destinations at greater distance. For now, we only
57 // implement thunks. TODO: Adding support for branch islands!
59 // Internally -- as expressed in LLD's data structures -- a
60 // branch-range-extension thunk consists of:
62 // (1) new Defined symbol for the thunk named
63 // <FUNCTION>.thunk.<SEQUENCE>, which references ...
64 // (2) new InputSection, which contains ...
65 // (3.1) new data for the instructions to load & branch to the far address +
66 // (3.2) new Relocs on instructions to load the far address, which reference ...
67 // (4.1) existing Defined symbol for the real function in __text, or
68 // (4.2) existing DylibSymbol for the real function in a dylib
70 // Nearly-optimal thunk-placement algorithm features:
72 // * Single pass: O(n) on the number of call sites.
74 // * Accounts for the exact space overhead of thunks - no heuristics
76 // * Exploits the full range of call instructions - forward & backward
80 // * DenseMap<Symbol *, ThunkInfo> thunkMap: Maps the function symbol
81 // to its thunk bookkeeper.
83 // * struct ThunkInfo (bookkeeper): Call instructions have limited range, and
84 // distant call sites might be unable to reach the same thunk, so multiple
85 // thunks are necessary to serve all call sites in a very large program. A
86 // thunkInfo stores state for all thunks associated with a particular
89 // (b) input section containing stub code, and
90 // (c) sequence number for the active thunk incarnation.
91 // When an old thunk goes out of range, we increment the sequence number and
92 // create a new thunk named <FUNCTION>.thunk.<SEQUENCE>.
94 // * A thunk consists of
95 // (a) a Defined symbol pointing to
96 // (b) an InputSection holding machine code (similar to a MachO stub), and
97 // (c) relocs referencing the real function for fixing up the stub code.
99 // * std::vector<InputSection *> MergedInputSection::thunks: A vector parallel
100 // to the inputs vector. We store new thunks via cheap vector append, rather
101 // than costly insertion into the inputs vector.
105 // * During address assignment, MergedInputSection::finalize() examines call
106 // sites by ascending address and creates thunks. When a function is beyond
107 // the range of a call site, we need a thunk. Place it at the largest
108 // available forward address from the call site. Call sites increase
109 // monotonically and thunks are always placed as far forward as possible;
110 // thus, we place thunks at monotonically increasing addresses. Once a thunk
111 // is placed, it and all previous input-section addresses are final.
113 // * ConcatInputSection::finalize() and ConcatInputSection::writeTo() merge
114 // the inputs and thunks vectors (both ordered by ascending address), which
115 // is simple and cheap.
