[BOLT][instr] Avoid WX segment (#128982) BOLT instrumented binary today has a readable (R), writeable (W) and also executable (X) segment, which Android system won't load due to its WX attribute. Such RWX segment was produced because BOLT has a two step linking, first for everything in the updated or rewritten input binary and next for runtime library. Each linking will layout sections in the order of RX sections followed by RO sections and then followed by RW sections. So we could end up having a RW section `.bolt.instr.counters` surrounded by a number of RO and RX sections, and a new text segment was then formed by including all RX sections which includes the RW section in the middle, and hence the RWX segment. One way to fix this is to separate the RW `.bolt.instr.counters` section into its own segment by a). assigning the starting addresses for section `.bolt.instr.counters` and its following section with regular page aligned addresses and b). creating two extra program headers accordingly.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
