Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

In the case where just tables are part of the function section, this produces
more readable assembly by avoiding switching to the eh section and back
to .text.
This would also break with non unique section names, as trying to switch to
a unique section actually creates a new one.

Add MachO 32-bit (i.e. arm and x86) support for replacing global GOT equivalent
symbol accesses. Unlike 64-bit targets, there's no GOTPCREL relocation, and
access through a non_lazy_symbol_pointers section is used instead.

This removes a bit of duplicated code and more importantly, remembers the
labels so that they don't need to be looked up by name.
This in turn allows for any name to be used and avoids a crash if the name
we wanted was already taken.
llvm-svn: 230772
Front-ends could use global unnamed_addr to hold pointers to other
symbols, like @gotequivalent below:
@foo = global i32 42
@gotequivalent = private unnamed_addr constant i32* @foo
@delta = global i32 trunc (i64 sub (i64 ptrtoint (i32** @gotequivalent to i64),
i64 ptrtoint (i32* @delta to i64))
to i32)
The global @delta holds a data "PC"-relative offset to @gotequivalent,
an unnamed pointer to @foo. The darwin/x86-64 assembly output for this follows:
.globl _foo
_foo:
.long 42
.globl _gotequivalent
_gotequivalent:
.quad _foo
.globl _delta
_delta:
.long _gotequivalent-_delta
Since unnamed_addr indicates that the address is not significant, only
the content, we can optimize the case above by replacing pc-relative
accesses to "GOT equivalent" globals, by a PC relative access to the GOT
entry of the final symbol instead. Therefore, "delta" can contain a pc
relative relocation to foo's GOT entry and we avoid the emission of
"gotequivalent", yielding the assembly code below:
.globl _foo
_foo:
.long 42
.globl _delta
_delta:
.long _foo@GOTPCREL+4
There are a couple of advantages of doing this: (1) Front-ends that need
to emit a great deal of data to store pointers to external symbols could
save space by not emitting such "got equivalent" globals and (2) IR
constructs combined with this opt opens a way to represent GOT pcrel
relocations by using the LLVM IR, which is something we previously had
no way to express.

These intrinsics allow multiple functions to share a single stack
allocation from one function's call frame. The function with the
allocation may only perform one allocation, and it must be in the entry
block.
Functions accessing the allocation call llvm.recoverframeallocation with
the function whose frame they are accessing and a frame pointer from an
active call frame of that function.
These intrinsics are very difficult to inline correctly, so the
intention is that they be introduced rarely, or at least very late

This change includes the most basic possible GCStrategy for a GC which is using the statepoint lowering code. At the moment, this GCStrategy doesn't really do much - aside from actually generate correct stackmaps that is - but I went ahead and added a few extra correctness checks as proof of concept. It's mostly here to provide documentation on how to do one, and to provide a point for various optimization legality hooks I'd like to add going forward. (For context, see the TODOs in InstCombine around gc.relocate.)
Most of the validation logic added here as proof of concept will soon move in to the Verifier. That move is dependent on http://reviews.llvm.org/D6811
There was discussion in the review thread about addrspace(1) being reserved for something. I'm going to follow up on a seperate llvmdev thread. If needed, I'll update all the code at once.
Note that I am deliberately not making a GCStrategy required to use gc.statepoints with this change. I want to give folks out of tree - including myself - a chance to migrate. In a week or two, I'll make having a GCStrategy be required for gc.statepoints. To this end, I added the gc tag to one of the test cases but not others.

Under the large code model, we cannot assume that __morestack lives within
2^31 bytes of the call site, so we cannot use pc-relative addressing. We
cannot perform the call via a temporary register, as the rax register may
be used to store the static chain, and all other suitable registers may be
either callee-save or used for parameter passing. We cannot use the stack
at this point either because __morestack manipulates the stack directly.
To avoid these issues, perform an indirect call via a read-only memory
location containing the address.
This solution is not perfect, as it assumes that the .rodata section
is laid out within 2^31 bytes of each function body, but this seems to
be sufficient for JIT.

It is intended to be used for a family of personality functions that

This change moves the ownership and access of GCFunctionInfo (the object which describes the safepoints associated with a safepoint under GCRoot) to GCModuleInfo. Previously, this was owned by GCStrategy which was in turned owned by GCModuleInfo. This made GCStrategy module specific which is 'surprising' given it's name and other purposes.
There's a few more changes needed, but we're getting towards the point we can reuse GCStrategy for gc.statepoint as well.
p.s. The style of this code ends up being a mess. I was trying to move code around without otherwise changing much. Once I get the ownership structure rearranged, I will go through and fixup spacing, naming, comments etc.

In the current implementation, GCStrategy is a part of the ownership structure for the gc metadata which describes a Module. It also contains a reference to the module in question. As a result, GCStrategy instances are essentially Module specific.
I plan to transition away from this design. Instead, a GCStrategy will be owned by the LLVMContext. It will be a lightweight policy object which contains no information about the Modules or Functions involved, but can be easily reached given a Function.
The first step in this transition is to remove the direct Module reference from GCStrategy. This also requires removing the single user of this reference, the GCMetadataPrinter hierarchy. In theory, this will allow the lifetime of the printers to be scoped to the LLVMContext as well, but in practice, I'm not actually changing that. (Yet?)
An alternate design would have been to move the direct Module reference into the GCMetadataPrinter and change the keying of the owning maps to explicitly key off both GCStrategy and Module. I'm open to doing it that way instead, but didn't see much value in preserving the per Module association for GCMetadataPrinters.
The next change in this sequence will be to start unwinding the intertwined ownership between GCStrategy, GCModuleInfo, and GCFunctionInfo.

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.

This idea arose out of discussions[1] with Reid Kleckner in response to a

This commit adds a new pass that can inject checks before indirect calls to
make sure that these calls target known locations. It supports three types of
checks and, at compile time, it can take the name of a custom function to call
when an indirect call check fails. The default failure function ignores the
error and continues.
This pass incidentally moves the function JumpInstrTables::transformType from
private to public and makes it static (with a new argument that specifies the
table type to use); this is so that the CFI code can transform function types
at call sites to determine which jump-instruction table to use for the check at
that site.
Also, this removes support for jumptables in ARM, pending further performance
analysis and discussion.

Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.

On MachO, and MachO only, we cannot have a truly empty function since that
breaks the linker logic for atomizing the section.
When we are emitting a frame pointer, the presence of an unreachable will
create a cfi instruction pointing past the last instruction. This is perfectly
fine. The FDE information encodes the pc range it applies to. If some tool
cannot handle this, we should explicitly say which bug we are working around
and only work around it when it is actually relevant (not for ELF for example).
Given the unreachable we could omit the .cfi_def_cfa_register, but then
again, we could also omit the entire function prologue if we wanted to.

The PowerPC 128-bit long double data type (ppcf128 in LLVM) is in fact a
pair of two doubles, where one is considered the "high" or
more-significant part, and the other is considered the "low" or
less-significant part. When a ppcf128 value is stored in memory or a
register pair, the high part always comes first, i.e. at the lower
memory address or in the lower-numbered register, and the low part
always comes second. This is true both on big-endian and little-endian
PowerPC systems. (Similar to how with a complex number, the real part
always comes first and the imaginary part second, no matter the byte
order of the system.)
This was implemented incorrectly for little-endian systems in LLVM.
This commit fixes three related issues:
- When printing an immediate ppcf128 constant to assembler output
in emitGlobalConstantFP, emit the high part first on both big-
and little-endian systems.
- When lowering a ppcf128 type to a pair of f64 types in SelectionDAG
(which is used e.g. when generating code to load an argument into a
register pair), use correct low/high part ordering on little-endian
systems.
- In a related issue, because lowering ppcf128 into a pair of f64 must
operate differently from lowering an int128 into a pair of i64,
bitcasts between ppcf128 and int128 must not be optimized away by the
DAG combiner on little-endian systems, but must effect a word-swap.

This patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is
up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not.
This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot
them, but it also lets us do things like
@test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32),
i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*)
An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global
doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to
access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc).
Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *".
It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when
that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that.

This allows code to statically accept a Function or a GlobalVariable, but
not an alias. This is already a cleanup by itself IMHO, but the main
reason for it is that it gives a lot more confidence that the refactoring to fix
the design of GlobalAlias is correct. That will be a followup patch.

define below all header includes in the lib/CodeGen/... tree. While the
current modules implementation doesn't check for this kind of ODR
violation yet, it is likely to grow support for it in the future. It
also removes one layer of macro pollution across all the included
headers.
Other sub-trees will follow.

Construct a uniform Windows target triple nomenclature which is congruent to the
Linux counterpart. The old triples are normalised to the new canonical form.
This cleans up the long-standing issue of odd naming for various Windows
environments.
There are four different environments on Windows:
MSVC: The MS ABI, MSVCRT environment as defined by Microsoft
GNU: The MinGW32/MinGW32-W64 environment which uses MSVCRT and auxiliary libraries
Itanium: The MSVCRT environment + libc++ built with Itanium ABI
Cygnus: The Cygwin environment which uses custom libraries for everything
The following spellings are now written as:
i686-pc-win32 => i686-pc-windows-msvc
i686-pc-mingw32 => i686-pc-windows-gnu
i686-pc-cygwin => i686-pc-windows-cygnus
This should be sufficiently flexible to allow us to target other windows
environments in the future as necessary.

These linkages were introduced some time ago, but it was never very
clear what exactly their semantics were or what they should be used
for. Some investigation found these uses:
* utf-16 strings in clang.
* non-unnamed_addr strings produced by the sanitizers.
It turns out they were just working around a more fundamental problem.
For some sections a MachO linker needs a symbol in order to split the
section into atoms, and llvm had no idea that was the case. I fixed
that in r201700 and it is now safe to use the private linkage. When
the object ends up in a section that requires symbols, llvm will use a
'l' prefix instead of a 'L' prefix and things just work.
With that, these linkages were already dead, but there was a potential
future user in the objc metadata information. I am still looking at
CGObjcMac.cpp, but at this point I am convinced that linker_private
and linker_private_weak are not what they need.
The objc uses are currently split in
* Regular symbols (no '\01' prefix). LLVM already directly provides
whatever semantics they need.
* Uses of a private name (start with "\01L" or "\01l") and private
linkage. We can drop the "\01L" and "\01l" prefixes as soon as llvm
agrees with clang on L being ok or not for a given section. I have two
patches in code review for this.
* Uses of private name and weak linkage.
The last case is the one that one could think would fit one of these
linkages. That is not the case. The semantics are
* the linker will merge these symbol by *name*.
* the linker will hide them in the final DSO.
Given that the merging is done by name, any of the private (or
internal) linkages would be a bad match. They allow llvm to rename the
symbols, and that is really not what we want. From the llvm point of
view, these objects should really be (linkonce|weak)(_odr)?.
For now, just keeping the "\01l" prefix is probably the best for these
symbols. If we one day want to have a more direct support in llvm,
IMHO what we should add is not a linkage, it is just a hidden_symbol
attribute. It would be applicable to multiple linkages. For example,
on weak it would produce the current behavior we have for objc
metadata. On internal, it would be equivalent to private (and we
should then remove private).

On ELF and COFF an alias is just another name for a position in the file.
There is no way to refer to a position in another file, so an alias to
undefined is meaningless.
MachO currently doesn't support aliases. The spec has a N_INDR, which when
implemented will have a different set of restrictions. Adding support for
it shouldn't be harder than any other IR extension.
For now, having the IR represent what is actually possible with current
tools makes it easier to fix the design of GlobalAlias.

The old system was fairly convoluted:
* A temporary label was created.
* A single PROLOG_LABEL was created with it.
* A few MCCFIInstructions were created with the same label.
The semantics were that the cfi instructions were mapped to the PROLOG_LABEL
via the temporary label. The output position was that of the PROLOG_LABEL.
The temporary label itself was used only for doing the mapping.
The new CFI_INSTRUCTION has a 1:1 mapping to MCCFIInstructions and points to
one by holding an index into the CFI instructions of this function.
I did consider removing MMI.getFrameInstructions completelly and having
CFI_INSTRUCTION own a MCCFIInstruction, but MCCFIInstructions have non
trivial constructors and destructors and are somewhat big, so the this setup
is probably better.
The net result is that we don't create temporary labels that are never used.
