// Types in this file:
//    relocInfo
//      One element of an array of halfwords encoding compressed relocations.
//      Also, the source of relocation types (relocInfo::oop_type, ...).
//    Relocation
//      A flyweight object representing a single relocation.
//      It is fully unpacked from the compressed relocation array.
//    oop_Relocation, ... (subclasses of Relocation)
//      The location of some type-specific operations (oop_addr, ...).
//      Also, the source of relocation specs (oop_Relocation::spec, ...).
//    RelocationHolder
//      A ValueObj type which acts as a union holding a Relocation object.
//      Represents a relocation spec passed into a CodeBuffer during assembly.
//    RelocIterator
//      A StackObj which iterates over the relocations associated with
//      a range of code addresses.  Can be used to operate a copy of code.
//    PatchingRelocIterator
//      Specialized subtype of RelocIterator which removes breakpoints
//      temporarily during iteration, then restores them.
//    BoundRelocation
//      An _internal_ type shared by packers and unpackers of relocations.
//      It pastes together a RelocationHolder with some pointers into
//      code and relocInfo streams.


// Notes on relocType:
//
// These hold enough information to read or write a value embedded in
// the instructions of an CodeBlob.  They're used to update:
//
//   1) embedded oops     (isOop()          == true)
//   2) inline caches     (isIC()           == true)
//   3) runtime calls     (isRuntimeCall()  == true)
//   4) internal word ref (isInternalWord() == true)
//   5) external word ref (isExternalWord() == true)
//
// when objects move (GC) or if code moves (compacting the code heap).
// They are also used to patch the code (if a call site must change)
//
// A relocInfo is represented in 16 bits:
//   4 bits indicating the relocation type
//  12 bits indicating the offset from the previous relocInfo address
//
// The offsets accumulate along the relocInfo stream to encode the
// address within the CodeBlob, which is named RelocIterator::addr().
// The address of a particular relocInfo always points to the first
// byte of the relevant instruction (and not to any of its subfields
// or embedded immediate constants).
//
// The offset value is scaled appropriately for the target machine.
// (See relocInfo_<arch>.hpp for the offset scaling.)
//
// On some machines, there may also be a "format" field which may provide
// additional information about the format of the instruction stream
// at the corresponding code address.  The format value is usually zero.
// Any machine (such as Intel) whose instructions can sometimes contain
// more than one relocatable constant needs format codes to distinguish
// which operand goes with a given relocation.
//
// If the target machine needs N format bits, the offset has 12-N bits,
// the format is encoded between the offset and the type, and the
// relocInfo_<arch>.hpp file has manifest constants for the format codes.
//
// If the type is "data_prefix_tag" then the offset bits are further encoded,
// and in fact represent not a code-stream offset but some inline data.
// The data takes the form of a counted sequence of halfwords, which
// precedes the actual relocation record.  (Clients never see it directly.)
// The interpetation of this extra data depends on the relocation type.
//
// On machines that have 32-bit immediate fields, there is usually
// little need for relocation "prefix" data, because the instruction stream
// is a perfectly reasonable place to store the value.  On machines in
// which 32-bit values must be "split" across instructions, the relocation
// data is the "true" specification of the value, which is then applied
// to some field of the instruction (22 or 13 bits, on SPARC).
//
// Whenever the location of the CodeBlob changes, any PC-relative
// relocations, and any internal_word_type relocations, must be reapplied.
// After the GC runs, oop_type relocations must be reapplied.
//
//
// Here are meanings of the types:
//
// relocInfo::none -- a filler record
//   Value:  none
//   Instruction: The corresponding code address is ignored
//   Data:  Any data prefix and format code are ignored
//   (This means that any relocInfo can be disabled by setting
//   its type to none.  See relocInfo::remove.)
//
// relocInfo::oop_type -- a reference to an oop
//   Value:  an oop, or else the address (handle) of an oop
//   Instruction types: memory (load), set (load address)
//   Data:  []       an oop stored in 4 bytes of instruction
//          [n]      n is the index of an oop in the CodeBlob's oop pool
//          [[N]n l] and l is a byte offset to be applied to the oop
//          [Nn Ll]  both index and offset may be 32 bits if necessary
//   Here is a special hack, used only by the old compiler:
//          [[N]n 00] the value is the __address__ of the nth oop in the pool
//   (Note that the offset allows optimal references to class variables.)
//
// relocInfo::internal_word_type -- an address within the same CodeBlob
// relocInfo::section_word_type -- same, but can refer to another section
//   Value:  an address in the CodeBlob's code or constants section
//   Instruction types: memory (load), set (load address)
//   Data:  []     stored in 4 bytes of instruction
//          [[L]l] a relative offset (see [About Offsets] below)
//   In the case of section_word_type, the offset is relative to a section
//   base address, and the section number (e.g., SECT_INSTS) is encoded
//   into the low two bits of the offset L.
//
// relocInfo::external_word_type -- a fixed address in the runtime system
//   Value:  an address
//   Instruction types: memory (load), set (load address)
//   Data:  []   stored in 4 bytes of instruction
//          [n]  the index of a "well-known" stub (usual case on RISC)
//          [Ll] a 32-bit address
//
// relocInfo::runtime_call_type -- a fixed subroutine in the runtime system
//   Value:  an address
//   Instruction types: PC-relative call (or a PC-relative branch)
//   Data:  []   stored in 4 bytes of instruction
//
// relocInfo::static_call_type -- a static call
//   Value:  an CodeBlob, a stub, or a fixup routine
//   Instruction types: a call
//   Data:  []
//   The identity of the callee is extracted from debugging information.
//   //%note reloc_3
//
// relocInfo::virtual_call_type -- a virtual call site (which includes an inline
//                                 cache)
//   Value:  an CodeBlob, a stub, the interpreter, or a fixup routine
//   Instruction types: a call, plus some associated set-oop instructions
//   Data:  []       the associated set-oops are adjacent to the call
//          [n]      n is a relative offset to the first set-oop
//          [[N]n l] and l is a limit within which the set-oops occur
//          [Nn Ll]  both n and l may be 32 bits if necessary
//   The identity of the callee is extracted from debugging information.
//
// relocInfo::opt_virtual_call_type -- a virtual call site that is statically bound
//
//    Same info as a static_call_type. We use a special type, so the handling of
//    virtuals and statics are separated.
//
//
//   The offset n points to the first set-oop.  (See [About Offsets] below.)
//   In turn, the set-oop instruction specifies or contains an oop cell devoted
//   exclusively to the IC call, which can be patched along with the call.
//
//   The locations of any other set-oops are found by searching the relocation
//   information starting at the first set-oop, and continuing until all
//   relocations up through l have been inspected.  The value l is another
//   relative offset.  (Both n and l are relative to the call's first byte.)
//
//   The limit l of the search is exclusive.  However, if it points within
//   the call (e.g., offset zero), it is adjusted to point after the call and
//   any associated machine-specific delay slot.
//
//   Since the offsets could be as wide as 32-bits, these conventions
//   put no restrictions whatever upon code reorganization.
//
//   The compiler is responsible for ensuring that transition from a clean
//   state to a monomorphic compiled state is MP-safe.  This implies that
//   the system must respond well to intermediate states where a random
//   subset of the set-oops has been correctly from the clean state
//   upon entry to the VEP of the compiled method.  In the case of a
//   machine (Intel) with a single set-oop instruction, the 32-bit
//   immediate field must not straddle a unit of memory coherence.
//   //%note reloc_3
//
// relocInfo::breakpoint_type -- a conditional breakpoint in the code
//   Value:  none
//   Instruction types: any whatsoever
//   Data:  [b [T]t  i...]
//   The b is a bit-packed word representing the breakpoint's attributes.
//   The t is a target address which the breakpoint calls (when it is enabled).
//   The i... is a place to store one or two instruction words overwritten
//   by a trap, so that the breakpoint may be subsequently removed.
//
// relocInfo::static_stub_type -- an extra stub for each static_call_type
//   Value:  none
//   Instruction types: a virtual call:  { set_oop; jump; }
//   Data:  [[N]n]  the offset of the associated static_call reloc
//   This stub becomes the target of a static call which must be upgraded
//   to a virtual call (because the callee is interpreted).
//   See [About Offsets] below.
//   //%note reloc_2
//
// For example:
//
//   INSTRUCTIONS                        RELOC: TYPE    PREFIX DATA
//   ------------                               ----    -----------
// sethi      %hi(myObject),  R               oop_type [n(myObject)]
// ld      [R+%lo(myObject)+fldOffset], R2    oop_type [n(myObject) fldOffset]
// add R2, 1, R2
// st  R2, [R+%lo(myObject)+fldOffset]        oop_type [n(myObject) fldOffset]
//%note reloc_1
//
// This uses 4 instruction words, 8 relocation halfwords,
// and an entry (which is sharable) in the CodeBlob's oop pool,
// for a total of 36 bytes.
//
// Note that the compiler is responsible for ensuring the "fldOffset" when
// added to "%lo(myObject)" does not overflow the immediate fields of the
// memory instructions.
//
//
// [About Offsets] Relative offsets are supplied to this module as
// positive byte offsets, but they may be internally stored scaled
// and/or negated, depending on what is most compact for the target
// system.  Since the object pointed to by the offset typically
// precedes the relocation address, it is profitable to store
// these negative offsets as positive numbers, but this decision
// is internal to the relocation information abstractions.
