Nicola Zaghen d34e60ca85 Rename DEBUG macro to LLVM_DEBUG.
The DEBUG() macro is very generic so it might clash with other projects.
The renaming was done as follows:
- git grep -l 'DEBUG' | xargs sed -i 's/\bDEBUG\s\?(/LLVM_DEBUG(/g'
- git diff -U0 master | ../clang/tools/clang-format/clang-format-diff.py -i -p1 -style LLVM
- Manual change to APInt
- Manually chage DOCS as regex doesn't match it.

In the transition period the DEBUG() macro is still present and aliased
to the LLVM_DEBUG() one.

Yonghong Song b1a52bd756 bpf: New instruction patterns for 32-bit subregister load and store
The instruction mapping between eBPF/arm64/x86_64 are:

         eBPF              arm64        x86_64
LD1   BPF_LDX | BPF_B       ldrb        movzbl
LD2   BPF_LDX | BPF_H       ldrh        movzwl
LD4   BPF_LDX | BPF_W       ldr         movl

movzbl/movzwl/movl on x86_64 accept 32-bit sub-register, for example %eax,
the same for ldrb/ldrh on arm64 which accept 32-bit "w" register. And
actually these instructions only accept sub-registers. There is no point
to have LD1/2/4 (unsigned) for 64-bit register, because on these arches,
upper 32-bits are guaranteed to be zeroed by hardware or VM, so load into
the smallest available register class is the best choice for maintaining
type information.

For eBPF we should adopt the same philosophy, to change current
format (A):

  r = *(u8 *) (r + off) // BPF_LDX | BPF_B
  r = *(u16 *)(r + off) // BPF_LDX | BPF_H
  r = *(u32 *)(r + off) // BPF_LDX | BPF_W

  *(u8 *) (r + off) = r // BPF_STX | BPF_B
  *(u16 *)(r + off) = r // BPF_STX | BPF_H
  *(u32 *)(r + off) = r // BPF_STX | BPF_W

into B:

  w = *(u8 *) (r + off) // BPF_LDX | BPF_B
  w = *(u16 *)(r + off) // BPF_LDX | BPF_H
  w = *(u32 *)(r + off) // BPF_LDX | BPF_W

  *(u8 *) (r + off) = w // BPF_STX | BPF_B
  *(u16 *)(r + off) = w // BPF_STX | BPF_H
  *(u32 *)(r + off) = w // BPF_STX | BPF_W

There is no change on encoding nor how should they be interpreted,
everything is as it is, load the specified length, write into low bits of
the register then zeroing all remaining high bits.

The only change is their associated register class and how compiler view
them.

Format A still need to be kept, because eBPF LLVM backend doesn't support
sub-registers at default, but once 32-bit subregister is enabled, it should
use format B.

This patch implemented this together with all those necessary extended load
and truncated store patterns.

Yonghong Song 920df52a93 bpf: fix a bug in dag2dag optimization for loads from readonly section
The reference '&' is missing in the function parameter. If there are
back-to-back optimizations in terms of dag node list like below:
  t29: i64,ch = load<LD4[bitcast (%struct.test_t* @test.t to i8*)+12](dereferenceable), zext from i32> t3, t43, undef:i64

Craig Topper 8f324bb1a4 [SelectionDAGISel] Add a debug print before call to Select. Adjust where blank lines are printed during isel process to make things more sensibly grouped.
Previously some targets printed their own message at the start of Select to indicate what they were selecting. For the targets that didn't, it means there was no print of the root node before any custom handling in the target executed. So if the target did something custom and never called SelectNodeCommon, no print would be made. For the targets that did print a message in Select, if they didn't custom handle a node SelectNodeCommon would reprint the root node before walking the isel table.

It seems better to just print the message before the call to Select so all targets behave the same. And then remove the root node printing from SelectNodeCommon and just leave a message that says we're starting the table search.

There were also some oddities in blank line behavior. Usually due to a \n after a call to SelectionDAGNode::dump which already inserted a new line.

Yonghong Song b42c7c7863 [BPF] Teach DAG2DAG AND elimination about load intrinsics
As commented on the existing code:

  // The Reg operand should be a virtual register, which is defined
  // outside the current basic block. DAG combiner has done a pretty
  // good job in removing truncating inside a single basic block.

However, when the Reg operand comes from bpf_load_[byte | half | word]
intrinsics, the generic optimizer doesn't understand their results are
zero extended, so these single basic block elimination opportunities were
missed.

For MachineOperand::print, keep a simple version that can be easily called

Add extra checks inside MachineOperand for detached operands (operands
with getParent() == nullptr).

Yonghong Song 5fbe01b12d bpf: remove unnecessary truncate operation
For networking-type bpf program, it often needs to access
packet data. A context data structure is provided to the bpf
programs with two fields:
        u32 data;
        u32 data_end;
User can access these two fields with ctx->data and ctx->data_end.
During program verification process, the kernel verifier modifies
the bpf program with loading of actual pointer value from kernel
data structure.
    r = ctx->data      ===> r = actual data start ptr
    r = ctx->data_end  ===> r = actual data end ptr

A typical program accessing ctx->data like
    char *data_ptr = (char *)(long)ctx->data
will result in a 32-bit load followed by a zero extension.
Such an operation is combined into a single LDW in DAG combiner
as bpf LDW does zero extension automatically.

In cases like the below (which can be a result of global value numbering
and partial redundancy elimination before insn selection):
B1:
   u32 a = load-32-bit &ctx->data
   u64 pa = zext a
   ...
B2:
   u32 b = load-32-bit &ctx->data
   u64 pb = zext b
   ...
B3:
   u32 m = PHI(a, b)
   u64 pm = zext m

In B3, "pm = zext m" cannot be removed, which although is legal
from compiler perspective, will generate incorrect code after
kernel verification.

This patch recognizes this pattern and traces through PHI node
to see whether the operand of "zext m" is defined with LDWs or not.
If it is, the "zext m" itself can be removed.

The patch also recognizes the pattern where the load and use of
the load value not in the same basic block, where truncate operation
may be removed as well.

The patch handles 1-byte, 2-byte and 4-byte truncation.

Two test cases are added to verify the transformation happens properly
for the above code pattern.

Yonghong Song ac2e25026f bpf: avoid load from read-only sections
If users tried to have a structure decl/init code like below
   struct test_t t = { .memeber1 = 45 };
It is very likely that compiler will generate a readonly section
to hold up the init values for variable t. Later load of t members,
e.g., t.member1 will result in a read from readonly section.

BPF program cannot handle relocation. This will force users to
write:
  struct test_t t = {};
  t.member1 = 45;
This is just inconvenient and unintuitive.

This patch addresses this issue by implementing BPF PreprocessISelDAG.
For any load from a global constant structure or an global array of
constant struct, it attempts to
translate it into a constant directly. The traversal of the
constant struct and other constant data structures are similar
to where the assembler emits read-only sections.

Four different unit test cases are also added to cover
different scenarios.

Alexei Starovoitov 56db145164 [bpf] Fix memory offset check for loads and stores
If the offset cannot fit into the instruction, an addition to the
pointer is emitted before the actual access. However, BPF offsets are
16-bit but LLVM considers them to be, for the matter of this check,
to be 32-bit long.

This causes the following program:

int bpf_prog1(void *ign)
{

volatile unsigned long t = 0x8983984739ull;
return *(unsigned long *)((0xffffffff8fff0002ull) + t);

}

To generate the following (wrong) code:

0: 18 01 00 00 39 47 98 83 00 00 00 00 89 00 00 00

r1 = 590618314553ll

5: 95 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 exit

Fix it by changing the offset check to 16-bit.

V1 cover letter:
---------------------
recently linux gained "universal in-kernel virtual machine" which is called
eBPF or extended BPF. The name comes from "Berkeley Packet Filter", since
new instruction set is based on it.
This patch adds a new backend that emits extended BPF instruction set.

The concept and development are covered by the following articles:
http://lwn.net/Articles/599755/

http://lwn.net/Articles/603983/

One of use cases: dtrace/systemtap alternative.

instruction set description and differences vs classic BPF:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/networking/filter.txt

Short summary of instruction set:
- 64-bit registers
  R0      - return value from in-kernel function, and exit value for BPF program
  R1 - R5 - arguments from BPF program to in-kernel function
  R6 - R9 - callee saved registers that in-kernel function will preserve
  R10     - read-only frame pointer to access stack
- two-operand instructions like +, -, *, mov, load/store
- implicit prologue/epilogue (invisible stack pointer)
- no floating point, no simd

Short history of extended BPF in kernel:
interpreter in 3.15, x64 JIT in 3.16, arm64 JIT, verifier, bpf syscall in 3.18, more to come in the future.

It's a very small and simple backend.
There is no support for global variables, arbitrary function calls, floating point, varargs,
exceptions, indirect jumps, arbitrary pointer arithmetic, alloca, etc.
From C front-end point of view it's very restricted. It's done on purpose, since kernel
rejects all programs that it cannot prove safe. It rejects programs with loops
and with memory accesses via arbitrary pointers. When kernel accepts the program it is
guaranteed that program will terminate and will not crash the kernel.

This patch implements all 'must have' bits. There are several things on TODO list,
so this is not the end of development.
Most of the code is a boiler plate code, copy-pasted from other backends.
Only odd things are lack or < and <= instructions, specialized load_byte intrinsics
and 'compare and goto' as single instruction.
Current instruction set is fixed, but more instructions can be added in the future.
