 * CTF DWARF conversion theory.
 *
 * DWARF data contains a series of compilation units. Each compilation unit
 * generally refers to an object file or what once was, in the case of linked
 * binaries and shared objects. Each compilation unit has a series of what DWARF
 * calls a DIE (Debugging Information Entry). The set of entries that we care
 * about have type information stored in a series of attributes. Each DIE also
 * has a tag that identifies the kind of attributes that it has.
 *
 * A given DIE may itself have children. For example, a DIE that represents a
 * structure has children which represent members. Whenever we encounter a DIE
 * that has children or other values or types associated with it, we recursively
 * process those children first so that way we can then refer to the generated
 * CTF type id while processing its parent. This reduces the amount of unknowns
 * and fixups that we need. It also ensures that we don't accidentally add types
 * that an overzealous compiler might add to the DWARF data but aren't used by
 * anything in the system.
 *
 * Once we do a conversion, we store a mapping in an AVL tree that goes from the
 * DWARF's die offset, which is relative to the given compilation unit, to a
 * ctf_id_t.
 *
 * Unfortunately, some compilers actually will emit duplicate entries for a
 * given type that look similar, but aren't quite. To that end, we go through
 * and do a variant on a merge once we're done processing a single compilation
 * unit which deduplicates all of the types that are in the unit.
 *
 * Finally, if we encounter an object that has multiple compilation units, then
 * we'll convert all of the compilation units separately and then do a merge, so
 * that way we can result in one single ctf_file_t that represents everything
 * for the object.
 *
 * Conversion Steps
 * ----------------
 *
 * Because a given object we've been given to convert may have multiple
 * compilation units, we break the work into two halves. The first half
 * processes each compilation unit (potentially in parallel) and then the second
 * half optionally merges all of the dies in the first half. First, we'll cover
 * what's involved in converting a single ctf_cu_t's dwarf to CTF. This covers
 * the work done in ctf_dwarf_convert_one().
 *
 * An individual ctf_cu_t, which represents a compilation unit, is converted to
 * CTF in a series of multiple passes.
 *
 * Pass 1: During the first pass we walk all of the top-level dies and if we
 * find a function, variable, struct, union, enum or typedef, we recursively
 * transform all of its types. We don't recurse or process everything, because
 * we don't want to add some of the types that compilers may add which are
 * effectively unused.
 *
 * During pass 1, if we encounter any structures or unions we mark them for
 * fixing up later. This is necessary because we may not be able to determine
 * the full size of a structure at the beginning of time. This will happen if
 * the DWARF attribute DW_AT_byte_size is not present for a member. Because of
 * this possibility we defer adding members to structures or even converting
 * them during pass 1 and save that for pass 2. Adding all of the base
 * structures without any of their members helps deal with any circular
 * dependencies that we might encounter.
 *
 * Pass 2: This pass is used to do the first half of fixing up structures and
 * unions. Rather than walk the entire type space again, we actually walk the
 * list of structures and unions that we marked for later fixing up. Here, we
 * iterate over every structure and add members to the underlying ctf_file_t,
 * but not to the structs themselves. One might wonder why we don't, and the
 * main reason is that libctf requires a ctf_update() be done before adding the
 * members to structures or unions.
 *
 * Pass 3: This pass is used to do the second half of fixing up structures and
 * unions. During this part we always go through and add members to structures
 * and unions that we added to the container in the previous pass. In addition,
 * we set the structure and union's actual size, which may have additional
 * padding added by the compiler, it isn't simply the last offset. DWARF always
 * guarantees an attribute exists for this. Importantly no ctf_id_t's change
 * during pass 2.
 *
 * Pass 4: The next phase is to add CTF entries for all of the symbols and
 * variables that are present in this die. During pass 1 we added entries to a
 * map for each variable and function. During this pass, we iterate over the
 * symbol table and when we encounter a symbol that we have in our lists of
 * translated information which matches, we then add it to the ctf_file_t.
 *
 * Pass 5: Here we go and look for any weak symbols and functions and see if
 * they match anything that we recognize. If so, then we add type information
 * for them at this point based on the matching type.
 *
 * Pass 6: This pass is actually a variant on a merge. The traditional merge
 * process expects there to be no duplicate types. As such, at the end of
 * conversion, we do a dedup on all of the types in the system. The
 * deduplication process is described in lib/libctf/common/ctf_merge.c.
 *
 * Once pass 6 is done, we've finished processing the individual compilation
 * unit.
 *
 * The following steps reflect the general process of doing a conversion.
 *
 * 1) Walk the dwarf section and determine the number of compilation units
 * 2) Create a ctf_cu_t for each compilation unit
 * 3) Add all ctf_cu_t's to a workq
 * 4) Have the workq process each die with ctf_dwarf_convert_one. This itself
 *    is comprised of several steps, which were already enumerated.
 * 5) If we have multiple cu's, we do a ctf merge of all the dies. The mechanics
 *    of the merge are discussed in lib/libctf/common/ctf_merge.c.
 * 6) Free everything up and return a ctf_file_t to the user. If we only had a
 *    single compilation unit, then we give that to the user. Otherwise, we
 *    return the merged ctf_file_t.
 *
 * Threading
 * ---------
 *
 * The process has been designed to be amenable to threading. Each compilation
 * unit has its own type stream, therefore the logical place to divide and
 * conquer is at the compilation unit. Each ctf_cu_t has been built to be able
 * to be processed independently of the others. It has its own libdwarf handle,
 * as a given libdwarf handle may only be used by a single thread at a time.
 * This allows the various ctf_cu_t's to be processed in parallel by different
 * threads.
 *
 * All of the ctf_cu_t's are loaded into a workq which allows for a number of
 * threads to be specified and used as a thread pool to process all of the
 * queued work. We set the number of threads to use in the workq equal to the
 * number of threads that the user has specified.
 *
 * After all of the compilation units have been drained, we use the same number
 * of threads when performing a merge of multiple compilation units, if they
 * exist.
 *
 * While all of these different parts do support and allow for multiple threads,
 * it's important that when only a single thread is specified, that it be the
 * calling thread. This allows the conversion routines to be used in a context
 * that doesn't allow additional threads, such as rtld.
 *
 * Common DWARF Mechanics and Notes
 * --------------------------------
 *
 * At this time, we really only support DWARFv2, though support for DWARFv4 is
 * mostly there. There is no intent to support DWARFv3.
 *
 * Generally types for something are stored in the DW_AT_type attribute. For
 * example, a function's return type will be stored in the local DW_AT_type
 * attribute while the arguments will be in child DIEs. There are also various
 * times when we don't have any DW_AT_type. In that case, the lack of a type
 * implies, at least for C, that its C type is void. Because DWARF doesn't emit
 * one, we have a synthetic void type that we create and manipulate instead and
 * pass it off to consumers on an as-needed basis. If nothing has a void type,
 * it will not be emitted.
 *
 * Architecture Specific Parts
 * ---------------------------
 *
 * The CTF tooling encodes various information about the various architectures
 * in the system. Importantly, the tool assumes that every architecture has a
 * data model where long and pointer are the same size. This is currently the
 * case, as the two data models illumos supports are ILP32 and LP64.
 *
 * In addition, we encode the mapping of various floating point sizes to various
 * types for each architecture. If a new architecture is being added, it should
 * be added to the list. The general design of the ctf conversion tools is to be
 * architecture independent. eg. any of the tools here should be able to convert
 * any architecture's DWARF into ctf; however, this has not been rigorously
 * tested and more importantly, the ctf routines don't currently write out the
 * data in an endian-aware form, they only use that of the currently running
 * library.
