[WPD/VFE] Always emit vcall_visibility metadata for -fwhole-program-vtables Summary: First patch to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization Enablement, see RFC here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html Always emit !vcall_visibility metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables, and not just for -fvirtual-function-elimination. The vcall visibility metadata will (in a subsequent patch) be used to communicate to WPD which vtables are safe to devirtualize, and we will optionally convert the metadata to hidden visibility at link time. Subsequent follow on patches will help enable this by adding vcall_visibility metadata to the ThinLTO summaries, and always emit type test intrinsics under -fwhole-program-vtables (and not just for vtables with hidden visibility). In order to do this safely with VFE, since for VFE all vtable loads must be type checked loads which will no longer be the case, this patch adds a new "Virtual Function Elim" module flag to communicate to GlobalDCE whether to perform VFE using the vcall_visibility metadata. One additional advantage of using the vcall_visibility metadata to drive more WPD at LTO link time is that we can use the same mechanism to enable more aggressive VFE at LTO link time as well. The link time option proposed in the RFC will convert vcall_visibility metadata to hidden (aka linkage unit visibility), which combined with -fvirtual-function-elimination will allow it to be done more aggressively at LTO link time under the same conditions.

Reland: Dead Virtual Function Elimination Remove dead virtual functions from vtables with replaceNonMetadataUsesWith, so that CGProfile metadata gets cleaned up correctly. Original commit message: Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there are no call sites which can use it. This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately determine which functions are reachable. To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible for optimisations to obscure the relationship between the GEP, load and llvm.type.test, causing GlobalDCE to fail to find virtual function call sites. The existing linkage and visibility types don't accurately describe the scope in which a virtual call could be made which uses a given vtable. This is wider than the visibility of the type itself, because a virtual function call could be made using a more-visible base class. I've added a new !vcall_visibility metadata type to represent this, described in TypeMetadata.rst. The internalization pass and libLTO have been updated to change this metadata when linking is performed. This doesn't currently work with ThinLTO, because it needs to see every call to llvm.type.checked.load in the linkage unit. It might be possible to extend this optimisation to be able to use the ThinLTO summary, as was done for devirtualization, but until then that combination is rejected in the clang driver. To test this, I've written a fuzzer which generates random C++ programs with complex class inheritance graphs, and virtual functions called through object and function pointers of different types. The programs are spread across multiple translation units and DSOs to test the different visibility restrictions. I've also tried doing bootstrap builds of LLVM to test this. This isn't ideal, because only classes in anonymous namespaces can be optimised with -fvisibility=default, and some parts of LLVM (plugins and bugpoint) do not work correctly with -fvisibility=hidden. However, there are only 12 test failures when building with -fvisibility=hidden (and an unmodified compiler), and this change does not cause any new failures for either value of -fvisibility. On the 7 C++ sub-benchmarks of SPEC2006, this gives a geomean code-size reduction of ~6%, over a baseline compiled with "-O2 -flto -fvisibility=hidden -fwhole-program-vtables". The best cases are reductions of ~14% in 450.soplex and 483.xalancbmk, and there are no code size increases. I've also run this on a set of 8 mbed-os examples compiled for Armv7M, which show a geomean size reduction of ~3%, again with no size increases. I had hoped that this would have no effect on performance, which would allow it to awlays be enabled (when using -fwhole-program-vtables). However, the changes in clang to use the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic are causing ~1% performance regression in the C++ parts of SPEC2006. It should be possible to recover some of this perf loss by teaching optimisations about the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, which would make it worth turning this on by default (though it's still dependent on -fwhole-program-vtables).

Reland: Dead Virtual Function Elimination Remove dead virtual functions from vtables with replaceNonMetadataUsesWith, so that CGProfile metadata gets cleaned up correctly. Original commit message: Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there are no call sites which can use it. This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately determine which functions are reachable. To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible for optimisations to obscure the relationship between the GEP, load and llvm.type.test, causing GlobalDCE to fail to find virtual function call sites. The existing linkage and visibility types don't accurately describe the scope in which a virtual call could be made which uses a given vtable. This is wider than the visibility of the type itself, because a virtual function call could be made using a more-visible base class. I've added a new !vcall_visibility metadata type to represent this, described in TypeMetadata.rst. The internalization pass and libLTO have been updated to change this metadata when linking is performed. This doesn't currently work with ThinLTO, because it needs to see every call to llvm.type.checked.load in the linkage unit. It might be possible to extend this optimisation to be able to use the ThinLTO summary, as was done for devirtualization, but until then that combination is rejected in the clang driver. To test this, I've written a fuzzer which generates random C++ programs with complex class inheritance graphs, and virtual functions called through object and function pointers of different types. The programs are spread across multiple translation units and DSOs to test the different visibility restrictions. I've also tried doing bootstrap builds of LLVM to test this. This isn't ideal, because only classes in anonymous namespaces can be optimised with -fvisibility=default, and some parts of LLVM (plugins and bugpoint) do not work correctly with -fvisibility=hidden. However, there are only 12 test failures when building with -fvisibility=hidden (and an unmodified compiler), and this change does not cause any new failures for either value of -fvisibility. On the 7 C++ sub-benchmarks of SPEC2006, this gives a geomean code-size reduction of ~6%, over a baseline compiled with "-O2 -flto -fvisibility=hidden -fwhole-program-vtables". The best cases are reductions of ~14% in 450.soplex and 483.xalancbmk, and there are no code size increases. I've also run this on a set of 8 mbed-os examples compiled for Armv7M, which show a geomean size reduction of ~3%, again with no size increases. I had hoped that this would have no effect on performance, which would allow it to awlays be enabled (when using -fwhole-program-vtables). However, the changes in clang to use the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic are causing ~1% performance regression in the C++ parts of SPEC2006.

[WPD/VFE] Always emit vcall_visibility metadata for -fwhole-program-vtables Summary: First patch to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization Enablement, see RFC here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html Always emit !vcall_visibility metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables, and not just for -fvirtual-function-elimination. The vcall visibility metadata will (in a subsequent patch) be used to communicate to WPD which vtables are safe to devirtualize, and we will optionally convert the metadata to hidden visibility at link time. Subsequent follow on patches will help enable this by adding vcall_visibility metadata to the ThinLTO summaries, and always emit type test intrinsics under -fwhole-program-vtables (and not just for vtables with hidden visibility). In order to do this safely with VFE, since for VFE all vtable loads must be type checked loads which will no longer be the case, this patch adds a new "Virtual Function Elim" module flag to communicate to GlobalDCE whether to perform VFE using the vcall_visibility metadata. One additional advantage of using the vcall_visibility metadata to drive more WPD at LTO link time is that we can use the same mechanism to enable more aggressive VFE at LTO link time as well. The link time option proposed in the RFC will convert vcall_visibility metadata to hidden (aka linkage unit visibility), which combined with -fvirtual-function-elimination will allow it to be done more aggressively at LTO link time under the same conditions.
