to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
This change addresses an issue which shows up with the synchronised race
between threads writing into a buffer, and another thread reading the
buffer.
In a lot of cases, we cannot guarantee that threads will always see the
signal to finalise their buffers in time despite the grace periods and
state machine maintained through atomic variables. This change addresses
it by ensuring that the same instance being updated to indicate how much
of the buffer is "used" by the writing thread is the same instance being
read by the thread processing the buffer to be written out to disk or
handled through the iterators.
To do this, we ensure that all the "extents" instances live in their own
the backing store, in a different contiguous page from the
buffer-specific backing store. We also take precautions to ensure that
the atomic variables are cache-line-sized to prevent false-sharing from
unnecessarily causing cache contention on unrelated writes/reads.
It's feasible that we may in the future be able to move the storage of
the extents objects into the single backing store, slightly changing the
way to compute the size(s) of the buffers, but in the meantime we'll
settle for the isolation afforded by having a different backing store
for the extents instances.

Summary:
Before this change, we could run into a situation where we may try to
undo tail exit records after writing metadata records before a function
enter event. This change rectifies that by resetting the tail exit
counter after writing the metadata records.

Summary:
This change covers a number of things spanning LLVM and compiler-rt,
which are related in a non-trivial way.
In LLVM, we have a library that handles the FDR mode even log loading,
which uses C++'s runtime polymorphism feature to better faithfully
represent the events that are written down by the FDR mode runtime. We
do this by interpreting a trace that's serliased in a common format
agreed upon by both the trace loading library and the FDR mode runtime.
This library is under active development, which consists of features
allowing us to reconstitute a higher-level event log.
This event log is used by the conversion and visualisation tools we have
for interpreting XRay traces.
One of the tools we have is a diagnostic tool in llvm-xray called
`fdr-dump` which we've been using to debug our expectations of what the
FDR runtime should be writing and what the logical FDR event log
structures are. We use this fairly extensively to reason about why some
non-trivial traces we're generating with FDR mode runtimes fail to
convert or fail to parse correctly.
One of these failures we've found in manual debugging of some of the
traces we've seen involve an inconsistency between the buffer extents (a
record indicating how many bytes to follow are part of a logical
thread's event log) and the record of the bytes written into the log --
sometimes it turns out the data could be garbage, due to buffers being
recycled, but sometimes we're seeing the buffer extent indicating a log
is "shorter" than the actual records associated with the buffer. This
case happens particularly with function entry records with a call
argument.
This change for now updates the FDR mode runtime to write the bytes for
the function call and arg record before updating the buffer extents
atomically, allowing multiple threads to see a consistent view of the
data in the buffer using the atomic counter associated with a buffer.
What we're trying to prevent here is partial updates where we see the
intermediary updates to the buffer extents (function record size then
call argument record size) becoming observable from another thread, for
instance, one doing the serialization/flushing.
To do both diagnose this issue properly, we need to be able to honour
the extents being set in the `BufferExtents` records marking the
beginning of the logical buffers when reading an FDR trace. Since LLVM
doesn't use C++'s RTTI mechanism, we instead follow the advice in the
documentation for LLVM Style RTTI
(https://llvm.org/docs/HowToSetUpLLVMStyleRTTI.html). We then rely on
this RTTI feature to ensure that our file-based record producer (our
streaming "deserializer") can honour the extents of individual buffers
as we interpret traces.
This also sets us up to be able to eventually do smart
skipping/continuation of FDR logs, seeking instead to find BufferExtents
records in cases where we find potentially recoverable errors. In the
meantime, we make this change to operate in a strict mode when reading
logical buffers with extent records.

Summary:
This change updates the version number for FDR logs to 5, and update the
trace processing to support changes in the custom event records.
In the runtime, since we're already writing down the record preamble to
handle CPU migrations and TSC wraparound, we can use the same TSC delta
encoding in the custom event and typed event records that we use in
function event records. We do the same change to typed events (which
were unsupported before this change in the trace processing) which now
show up in the trace.
Future changes should increase our testing coverage to make custom and
typed events as first class entities in the FDR mode log processing
tools.
This change is also a good example of how we end up supporting new
record types in the FDR mode implementation. This shows the places where
new record types are added and supported.
Depends on D54139.

Summary:
Fix some issues discovered from mostly manual inspection of outputs from
the `llvm-xray fdr-dump` tool.
It turns out we haven't been writing the deltas properly, and have been
writing down zeros for deltas of some records. This change fixes this
oversight born by the recent refactoring.

Summary:
This is a follow-on change to D53858 which turns out to have had a TSC
accounting bug when writing out function exit records in FDR mode.
This change adds a number of tests to ensure that:
- We are handling the delta between the exit TSC and the last TSC we've
seen.
- We are writing the custom event and typed event records as a single
update to the buffer extents.
- We are able to catch boundary conditions when loading FDR logs.
We introduce a TSC matcher to the test helpers, which we use in the
testing/verification of the TSC accounting change.

Summary:
This change cuts across compiler-rt and llvm, to increment the FDR log
version number to 4, and include the CPU ID in the custom event records.
This is a step towards allowing us to change the `llvm::xray::Trace`
object to start representing both custom and typed events in the stream
of records. Follow-on changes will allow us to change the kinds of
records we're presenting in the stream of traces, to incorporate the
data in custom/typed events.
A follow-on change will handle the typed event case, where it may not
fit within the 15-byte buffer for metadata records.
This work is part of the larger effort to enable writing analysis and
processing tools using a common in-memory representation of the events
found in traces. The work will focus on porting existing tools in LLVM
to use the common representation and informing the design of a
library/framework for expressing trace event analysis as C++ programs.

Summary:
This change completes the refactoring of the FDR runtime to support the
following:
- Generational buffer management.
- Centralised and well-tested controller implementation.
In this change we've had to:
- Greatly simplify the code in xray_fdr_logging.cc to only implement the
glue code for calling into the controller.
- Implement the custom and typed event logging functions in the
FDRLogWriter.
- Imbue the `XRAY_NEVER_INSTRUMENT` attribute onto all functions in the
controller implementation.

Summary:
This is an intermediary step in the full support for generational buffer
management in the FDR runtime. This change makes the FDR controller
aware of the new generation number in the buffers handed out by the
BufferQueue type.
In the process of making this change, we've realised that the cleanest
way of ensuring that the backing store per generation is live while all
the threads that need access to it will need reference counting to tie
the backing store to the lifetime of all threads that have a handle on
buffers associated with the memory.
We also learn that we're missing the edge-case in the function exit
handler's implementation where the first record being written into the
buffer is a function exit, which is caught/fixed by the test for
generational buffer management.
We still haven't wired the controller into the FDR mode runtime, which
will need the reference counting on the backing store implemented to
ensure that we're being conservatively thread-safe with this approach.
Depends on D52974.

Summary:
This change implements a controller for abstracting away the details of
what happens when tracing with FDR mode. This controller type allows us
to test in isolation the various cases where we're encountering function
entry, exit, and other kinds of events we are handling when FDR mode is
enabled.
This change introduces a number of testing facilities we've needed to
better support expressing the conditions we need for the unit tests. We
leave some TODOs for moving those utilities into the LLVM project,
sitting in the `Testing` library, to make matching conditions on XRay
`Trace` instances through googlemock more manageable and declarative.
We don't wire in the controller right away, to allow us to incrementally
update the implementation(s) as we increase testing coverage of the
controller type. There's a need to re-think the way we're managing
buffers in a multi-threaded environment, which is more invasive than
this implementation.
This step in the process allows us to encode our assumptions in the
implementation of the controller, and then evolve the buffer queue
implementation to support generational buffer management to ensure we
can continue to support the cases we're already supporting with the
controller.
