/* DWP file .debug_{cu,tu}_index section format:
[ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFissionDWP]
+ DWP Version 1:
+
Both index sections have the same format, and serve to map a 64-bit
signature to a set of section numbers. Each section begins with a header,
followed by a hash table of 64-bit signatures, a parallel table of 32-bit
indexes, and a pool of 32-bit section numbers. The index sections will be
aligned at 8-byte boundaries in the file.
- The index section header contains two unsigned 32-bit values (using the
- byte order of the application binary):
+ The index section header consists of:
+
+ V, 32 bit version number
+ -, 32 bits unused
+ N, 32 bit number of compilation units or type units in the index
+ M, 32 bit number of slots in the hash table
- N, the number of compilation units or type units in the index
- M, the number of slots in the hash table
+ Numbers are recorded using the byte order of the application binary.
- (We assume that N and M will not exceed 2^32 - 1.)
+ We assume that N and M will not exceed 2^32 - 1.
- The size of the hash table, M, must be 2^k such that 2^k > 3*N/2.
+ The size of the hash table, M, must be 2^k such that 2^k > 3*N/2.
- The hash table begins at offset 8 in the section, and consists of an array
- of M 64-bit slots. Each slot contains a 64-bit signature (using the byte
- order of the application binary). Unused slots in the hash table are 0.
- (We rely on the extreme unlikeliness of a signature being exactly 0.)
+ The hash table begins at offset 16 in the section, and consists of an array
+ of M 64-bit slots. Each slot contains a 64-bit signature (using the byte
+ order of the application binary). Unused slots in the hash table are 0.
+ (We rely on the extreme unlikeliness of a signature being exactly 0.)
- The parallel table begins immediately after the hash table
- (at offset 8 + 8 * M from the beginning of the section), and consists of an
- array of 32-bit indexes (using the byte order of the application binary),
- corresponding 1-1 with slots in the hash table. Each entry in the parallel
- table contains a 32-bit index into the pool of section numbers. For unused
- hash table slots, the corresponding entry in the parallel table will be 0.

+ table contains a 32-bit index into the pool of section numbers. For unused
+ hash table slots, the corresponding entry in the parallel table will be 0.
- Given a 64-bit compilation unit signature or a type signature S, an entry
- in the hash table is located as follows:
+ Given a 64-bit compilation unit signature or a type signature S, an entry
+ in the hash table is located as follows:
- 1) Calculate a primary hash H = S & MASK(k), where MASK(k) is a mask with
- the low-order k bits all set to 1.
+ 1) Calculate a primary hash H = S & MASK(k), where MASK(k) is a mask with
+ the low-order k bits all set to 1.
- 2) Calculate a secondary hash H' = (((S >> 32) & MASK(k)) | 1).
+ 2) Calculate a secondary hash H' = (((S >> 32) & MASK(k)) | 1).
- 3) If the hash table entry at index H matches the signature, use that
- entry. If the hash table entry at index H is unused (all zeroes),
- terminate the search: the signature is not present in the table.
+ 3) If the hash table entry at index H matches the signature, use that
+ entry. If the hash table entry at index H is unused (all zeroes),
+ terminate the search: the signature is not present in the table.
- 4) Let H = (H + H') modulo M. Repeat at Step 3.
+ 4) Let H = (H + H') modulo M. Repeat at Step 3.
- Because M > N and H' and M are relatively prime, the search is guaranteed
- to stop at an unused slot or find the match.
+ Because M > N and H' and M are relatively prime, the search is guaranteed
+ to stop at an unused slot or find the match.
- The pool of section numbers begins immediately following the hash table
- (at offset 8 + 12 * M from the beginning of the section). The pool of
- section numbers consists of an array of 32-bit words (using the byte order
- of the application binary). Each item in the array is indexed starting
- from 0. The hash table entry provides the index of the first section
- number in the set. Additional section numbers in the set follow, and the
- set is terminated by a 0 entry (section number 0 is not used in ELF).
