This change enables the VM to support multiple versions GCInfo concurrently.
This is necessary in light of upcoming work to add ReturnType and other
modifications to the GCInfo format -- so that existing ReadyToRun images
will continue to run correctly.
The version# is not stored in the GcInfo structure -- because it is
wasteful to store the version once for every method. Instead, it is
tracked per range-section of generated/loaded methods.
The GCInfo version is computed as:
1) The current GCINFO_VERSION for JITted and Ngened images
2) A function of the Ready-to-run major version stored in READYTORUN_HEADER
for ready-to-run images. ReadyToRunJitManager::JitTokenToGCInfoVersion()
provides the GcInfo version for any Method. Currently, there's only one
version of GCInfo.
An abstraction GCInfoToken is added to the GcInfo interface, which tracks the
{GcInfo, Version} pair in-memory. Several GcInfo APIs are
modified to use GCInfoToken in place of GcInfo pointers.
Notes:
1) SOS GcDump: The GCDump API has separate dump routines for Header and the
pointer-liveness information (DumpGCTable and DumpGCHeader) each of which
advance a pointer to the GCInfo block. These APIs are not changed to
recieve a GCInfoToken in place of the GcInfo block pointer. Instead, they
recieve the GcInfo version at the time of construction.
2) Some routines that are specific to x86 gcInfo (ex: crackMethodInfoHdr)
are not yet updated to use versioning, since the development plan is to
update the Non-x86 GcInfo structure first.
3) The x86 specific structs defining GcInfo headers are moved to GcInfoTypes.h,
along with the non-x86 GcInfo type definitions.
