cmd/link: emit include directories in DWARF line table prologue
This patch changes the way the linker emits the DWARF line table
prologue, specifically the file table. Previously files were left
unmodified, and the directory table was empty. For each compilation
unit we now scan the unit file table and build up a common set of
directories, emit them into the directory table, and then emit file
entries that refer to the dirs. This provides a modest binary size
savings.
For kubernetes kubelet:
$ objdump -h /tmp/kubelet.old | fgrep debug_line
36 .zdebug_line
019a55f5 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 084a5123 2**0
$ objdump -h /tmp/kubelet.new | fgrep debug_line
36 .zdebug_line
01146fd2 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 084a510a 2**0
[where the value following the section name above is the section size
in hex, so roughly a 30% decrease in this case.]
The actual savings will depend on the length of the pathnames
involved, so it's hard to really pin down how much savings we'll see
here. In addition, emitting the files this way reduces the
"compressibility" of the line table, so there could even be cases
where we don't win at all.
Updates #6853, #19784, #36495.
