Amaury Sechet 447831acae Extract renaming from D19181
Summary: This needs to get in before anything is released concerning attribute. If the old name gets in the wild, then we are stuck with it forever. Putting it in its own diff should getting that part at least in fast.

Justin Bogner b012699741 SDAG: Rename Select->SelectImpl and repurpose Select as returning void
This is a step towards removing the rampant undefined behaviour in
SelectionDAG, which is a part of llvm.org/PR26808.

We rename SelectionDAGISel::Select to SelectImpl and update targets to
match, and then change Select to return void and consolidate the
sketchy behaviour we're trying to get away from there.

Next, we'll update backends to implement `void Select(...)` instead of
SelectImpl and eventually drop the base Select implementation.

Amaury Sechet 60b31453ac Add LLVMGetAttrKindID in the C API in order to facilitate migration away from LLVMAttribute
Summary:
LLVMAttribute has outlived its utility and is becoming a problem for C API users that what to use all the LLVM attributes. In order to help moving away from LLVMAttribute in a smooth manner, this diff introduce LLVMGetAttrKindIDInContext, which can be used instead of the enum values.

See D18749 for reference.

At the same time, fixes InstructionsTest::CastInst unittest: yes
you can leave the IR in an invalid state and exit when you don't
destroy the context (like the global one), no longer now.

Hans Wennborg e1a2e90ffa Change eliminateCallFramePseudoInstr() to return an iterator
This will become necessary in a subsequent change to make this method
merge adjacent stack adjustments, i.e. it might erase the previous
and/or next instruction.

It also greatly simplifies the calls to this function from Prolog-
EpilogInserter. Previously, that had a bunch of logic to resume iteration
after the call; now it just continues with the returned iterator.

Note that this changes the behaviour of PEI a little. Previously,
it attempted to re-visit the new instruction created by
eliminateCallFramePseudoInstr(). That code was added in r36625,
but I can't see any reason for it: the new instructions will obviously
not be pseudo instructions, they will not have FrameIndex operands,
and we have already accounted for the stack adjustment.

Peter Collingbourne 51d2de7b9e Prologue support
Patch by Ben Gamari!

This redefines the `prefix` attribute introduced previously and
introduces a `prologue` attribute.  There are a two primary usecases
that these attributes aim to serve,

  1. Function prologue sigils

  2. Function hot-patching: Enable the user to insert `nop` operations
     at the beginning of the function which can later be safely replaced
     with a call to some instrumentation facility

  3. Runtime metadata: Allow a compiler to insert data for use by the
     runtime during execution. GHC is one example of a compiler that
     needs this functionality for its tables-next-to-code functionality.

Previously `prefix` served cases (1) and (2) quite well by allowing the user
to introduce arbitrary data at the entrypoint but before the function
body. Case (3), however, was poorly handled by this approach as it
required that prefix data was valid executable code.

Here we redefine the notion of prefix data to instead be data which
occurs immediately before the function entrypoint (i.e. the symbol
address). Since prefix data now occurs before the function entrypoint,
there is no need for the data to be valid code.

The previous notion of prefix data now goes under the name "prologue
data" to emphasize its duality with the function epilogue.

The intention here is to handle cases (1) and (2) with prologue data and
case (3) with prefix data.

References
----------

This idea arose out of discussions[1] with Reid Kleckner in response to a
proposal to introduce the notion of symbol offsets to enable handling of
case (3).

Peter Collingbourne 10039c02ea LTO: introduce object file-based on-disk module format.
This format is simply a regular object file with the bitcode stored in a
section named ".llvmbc", plus any number of other (non-allocated) sections.

One immediate use case for this is to accommodate compilation processes
which expect the object file to contain metadata in non-allocated sections,
such as the ".go_export" section used by some Go compilers [1], although I
imagine that in the future we could consider compiling parts of the module
(such as large non-inlinable functions) directly into the object file to
improve LTO efficiency.
