Several backends have instructions to reverse the order of bits in an integer. Conceptually matching such patterns is similar to @llvm.bswap, and it was mentioned in http://reviews.llvm.org/D14234 that it would be best if these patterns were matched in InstCombine instead of reimplemented in every different target.
This patch introduces an intrinsic @llvm.bitreverse.i* that operates similarly to @llvm.bswap. For plumbing purposes there is also a new ISD node ISD::BITREVERSE, with simple expansion and promotion support.
The intention is that InstCombine's BSWAP detection logic will be extended to support BITREVERSE too, and @llvm.bitreverse intrinsics emitted (if the backend supports lowering it efficiently).

When working with tokens, it is often the case that one has instructions
which consume a token and produce a new token. Currently, we have no
mechanism to represent an initial token state.
Instead, we can create a notional "empty token" by inventing a new
constant which captures the semantics we would like. This new constant
is called ConstantTokenNone and is written textually as "token none".

Summary:
This change introduces the notion of "deoptimization" operand bundles.
LLVM can recognize and optimize these in more precise ways than it can a
generic "unknown" operand bundles.
The current form of this special recognition / optimization is an enum
entry in LLVMContext, a LangRef blurb and a verifier rule. Over time we
will teach LLVM to do more aggressive optimization around deoptimization
operand bundles, exploiting known facts about kinds of state
deoptimization operand bundles are allowed to track.

Summary:
This patch adds documentation on compiling CUDA with LLVM as requested by many
engineers and researchers. It includes not only user guides but also some
internals (mostly optimizations) so that early adopters can start hacking and
contributing.
Quite a few researchers who contacted us haven't used LLVM before, which is
unsurprising as it hasn't been long since LLVM picked up CUDA. So I added a
short summary to help these folks get started with LLVM.
I expect this document to evolve substantially down the road. The user guides
will be much simplified after the Clang integration is done. However, the
internals should continue growing to include for example performance debugging
and key areas to improve.

Summary:
This makes attribute accessors on `CallInst` and `InvokeInst` do the
(conservatively) right thing. This essentially involves, in some
cases, *not* falling back querying the attributes on the called
`llvm::Function` when operand bundles are present.
Attributes locally present on the `CallInst` or `InvokeInst` will still
override operand bundle semantics. The LangRef has been amended to
reflect this. Note: this change does not do anything prevent
`-function-attrs` from inferring `CallSite` local attributes after
inspecting the called function -- that will be done as a separate
change.
I've used `-adce` and `-early-cse` to test these changes. There is
nothing special about these passes (and they did not require any
changes) except that they seemed be the easiest way to write the tests.
This change does not add deal with `argmemonly`. That's a later change
because alias analysis requires a related fix before `argmemonly` can be
tested.

* ``the value cannot fit within the destination type`` is ambiguous.
It could mean overflow, underflow (not in the IEEE-754 sense) or a
result that cannot be exactly represented and requires rounding or it
could mean some combination of these. The semantics now state it means
overflow **only**.
* Using "truncation" in the semantics is very misleading given that it
doesn't necessarily truncate (i.e. round to zero). For example on
x86_64 with SSE2 this is currently mapped to cvtsd2ss instruction
who's rounding behaviour is dependent on the MXCSR register which
is usually set to round to nearest even by default. The semantics
now state that the rounding mode is undefined.

`cleanuppad`'s `cleanupendpad`s must agree with each other and with its
`cleanupret`s.

Summary:
WinEHPrepare is going to require that cleanuppad and catchpad produce values
of token type which are consumed by any cleanupret or catchret exiting the
pad. This change updates the signatures of those operators to require/enforce
that the type produced by the pads is token type and that the rets have an
appropriate argument.
The catchpad argument of a `CatchReturnInst` must be a `CatchPadInst` (and
similarly for `CleanupReturnInst`/`CleanupPadInst`). To accommodate that
restriction, this change adds a notion of an operator constraint to both
LLParser and BitcodeReader, allowing appropriate sentinels to be constructed
for forward references and appropriate error messages to be emitted for
illegal inputs.
Also add a verifier rule (noted in LangRef) that a catchpad with a catchpad
predecessor must have no other predecessors; this ensures that WinEHPrepare
will see the expected linear relationship between sibling catches on the
same try.
Lastly, remove some superfluous/vestigial casts from instruction operand
setters operating on BasicBlocks.

Some personality routines require funclet exit points to be clearly
marked, this is done by producing a token at the funclet pad and

Other personality routines don't need to use this which is why it has
been made optional.
llvm-svn: 245149
This introduces the basic functionality to support "token types".
The motivation stems from the need to perform operations on a Value
whose provenance cannot be obscured.
There are several applications for such a type but my immediate
motivation stems from WinEH. Our personality routine enforces a
single-entry - single-exit regime for cleanups. After several rounds of
optimizations, we may be left with a terminator whose "cleanup-entry
block" is not entirely clear because control flow has merged two
cleanups together. We have experimented with using labels as operands
inside of instructions which are not terminators to indicate where we
came from but found that LLVM does not expect such exotic uses of
BasicBlocks.
Instead, we can use this new type to clearly associate the "entry point"
and "exit point" of our cleanup. This is done by having the cleanuppad
yield a Token and consuming it at the cleanupret.
The token type makes it impossible to obscure or otherwise hide the
Value, making it trivial to track the relationship between the two
points.
What is the burden to the optimizer? Well, it turns out we have already
paid down this cost by accepting that there are certain calls that we
are not permitted to duplicate, optimizations have to watch out for
such instructions anyway. There are additional places in the optimizer
that we will probably have to update but early examination has given me
the impression that this will not be heroic.

According to the current GEP syntax, vector GEP requires that each index must be a vector with the same number of elements.
%A = getelementptr i8, <4 x i8*> %ptrs, <4 x i64> %offsets
In this implementation I let each index be or vector or scalar. All vector indices must have the same number of elements. The scalar value will mean the splat vector value.
(1) %A = getelementptr i8, i8* %ptr, <4 x i64> %offsets
or
(2) %A = getelementptr i8, <4 x i8*> %ptrs, i64 %offset
In all cases the %A type is <4 x i8*>
In the case (2) we add the same offset to all pointers.

Summary:
Initially, these intrinsics seemed like part of a family of "frame"
related intrinsics, but now I think that's more confusing than helpful.
Initially, the LangRef specified that this would create a new kind of
allocation that would be allocated at a fixed offset from the frame
pointer (EBP/RBP). We ended up dropping that design, and leaving the
stack frame layout alone.
These intrinsics are really about sharing local stack allocations, not
frame pointers. I intend to go further and add an `llvm.localaddress()`
intrinsic that returns whatever register (EBP, ESI, ESP, RBX) is being
used to address locals, which should not be confused with the frame
pointer.
Naming suggestions at this point are welcome, I'm happy to re-run sed.

It is mandatory to specify a comdat in order to receive comdat semantics
for a symbol. We were previously getting this wrong in -function-sections
mode; linker-weak symbols were being emitted in a selectany comdat. This
change causes such symbols to use a noduplicates comdat instead, fixing
the inconsistency.
Also correct an inaccuracy in the docs.

This will allow classes to implement the AA interface without deriving
from the class or referencing an internal enum of some other class as
their return types.
Also, to a pretty fundamental extent, concepts such as 'NoAlias',
'MayAlias', and 'MustAlias' are first class concepts in LLVM and we
aren't saving anything by scoping them heavily.
My mild preference would have been to use a scoped enum, but that
feature is essentially completely broken AFAICT. I'm extremely
disappointed. For example, we cannot through any reasonable[1] means
construct an enum class (or analog) which has scoped names but converts
to a boolean in order to test for the possibility of aliasing.
[1]: Richard Smith came up with a "solution", but it requires class
templates, and lots of boilerplate setting up the enumeration multiple
times. Something like Boost.PP could potentially bundle this up, but
even that would be quite painful and it doesn't seem realistically worth
it. The enum class solution would probably work without the need for
a bool conversion.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.

This patch adds the safe stack instrumentation pass to LLVM, which separates
the program stack into a safe stack, which stores return addresses, register
spills, and local variables that are statically verified to be accessed
in a safe way, and the unsafe stack, which stores everything else. Such
separation makes it much harder for an attacker to corrupt objects on the
safe stack, including function pointers stored in spilled registers and
return addresses. You can find more information about the safe stack, as
well as other parts of or control-flow hijack protection technique in our
OSDI paper on code-pointer integrity (http://dslab.epfl.ch/pubs/cpi.pdf)
and our project website (http://levee.epfl.ch).
The overhead of our implementation of the safe stack is very close to zero
(0.01% on the Phoronix benchmarks). This is lower than the overhead of
stack cookies, which are supported by LLVM and are commonly used today,
yet the security guarantees of the safe stack are strictly stronger than
stack cookies. In some cases, the safe stack improves performance due to
better cache locality.
Our current implementation of the safe stack is stable and robust, we
used it to recompile multiple projects on Linux including Chromium, and
we also recompiled the entire FreeBSD user-space system and more than 100
packages. We ran unit tests on the FreeBSD system and many of the packages
and observed no errors caused by the safe stack. The safe stack is also fully
binary compatible with non-instrumented code and can be applied to parts of
a program selectively.
This patch is our implementation of the safe stack on top of LLVM. The
patches make the following changes:
- Add the safestack function attribute, similar to the ssp, sspstrong and
sspreq attributes.
- Add the SafeStack instrumentation pass that applies the safe stack to all
functions that have the safestack attribute. This pass moves all unsafe local
variables to the unsafe stack with a separate stack pointer, whereas all
safe variables remain on the regular stack that is managed by LLVM as usual.
- Invoke the pass as the last stage before code generation (at the same time
the existing cookie-based stack protector pass is invoked).
- Add unit tests for the safe stack.

Lab at EPFL; updates and upstreaming by myself.

Summary:
This instruction encodes a loading operation that may fault, and a label
to branch to if the load page-faults. The locations of potentially
faulting loads and their "handler" destinations are recorded in a
FaultMap section, meant to be consumed by LLVM's clients.
Nothing generates FAULTING_LOAD_OP instructions yet, but they will be
used in a future change.
The documentation (FaultMaps.rst) needs improvement and I will update
this diff with a more expanded version shortly.

If the first character in a metadata attachment's name is a digit, it has
to be output using an escape sequence, otherwise it's not valid text IR.
Removed an over-zealous assert from LLVMContext which didn't allow this.
The rule should only apply to text IR. Actual names can have any sequence
of non-NUL bytes.
Also added some documentation on accepted names.

Summary:
This patch teaches the PlaceSafepoints pass about two `CallSite`
function attributes:
* "statepoint-id": if the string value of this attribute can be parsed
as an integer, then it is propagated to the ID parameter of the
statepoint created.
* "statepoint-num-patch-bytes": if the string value of this attribute
can be parsed as an integer, then it is propagated to the `num patch
bytes` parameter of the statepoint created.
This change intentionally does not assert on a malformed value for these
attributes, given that they're not "official" attributes.

Summary:
This change adds two new parameters to the statepoint intrinsic, `i64 id`
and `i32 num_patch_bytes`. `id` gets propagated to the ID field
in the generated StackMap section. If the `num_patch_bytes` is
non-zero then the statepoint is lowered to `num_patch_bytes` bytes of
nops instead of a call (the spill and reload code remains unchanged).
A non-zero `num_patch_bytes` is useful in situations where a language
runtime requires complete control over how a call is lowered.
This change brings statepoints one step closer to patchpoints. With
some additional work (that is not part of this patch) it should be
possible to get rid of `TargetOpcode::STATEPOINT` altogether.
PlaceSafepoints generates `statepoint` wrappers with `id` set to
`0xABCDEF00` (the old default value for the ID reported in the stackmap)
and `num_patch_bytes` set to `0`. This can be made more sophisticated
later.

This changes the shape of the statepoint intrinsic from:
@llvm.experimental.gc.statepoint(anyptr target, i32 # call args, i32 unused, ...call args, i32 # deopt args, ...deopt args, ...gc args)
to:
@llvm.experimental.gc.statepoint(anyptr target, i32 # call args, i32 flags, ...call args, i32 # transition args, ...transition args, i32 # deopt args, ...deopt args, ...gc args)
This extension offers the backend the opportunity to insert (somewhat) arbitrary code to manage the transition from GC-aware code to code that is not GC-aware and back.
In order to support the injection of transition code, this extension wraps the STATEPOINT ISD node generated by the usual lowering lowering with two additional nodes: GC_TRANSITION_START and GC_TRANSITION_END. The transition arguments that were passed passed to the intrinsic (if any) are lowered and provided as operands to these nodes and may be used by the backend during code generation.
Eventually, the lowering of the GC_TRANSITION_{START,END} nodes should be informed by the GC strategy in use for the function containing the intrinsic call; for now, these nodes are instead replaced with no-ops.

Finish off PR23080 by renaming the debug info IR constructs from `MD*`
to `DI*`. The last of the `DIDescriptor` classes were deleted in
r235356, and the last of the related typedefs removed in r235413, so
this has all baked for about a week.
Note: If you have out-of-tree code (like a frontend), I recommend that
you get everything compiling and tests passing with the *previous*
commit before updating to this one. It'll be easier to keep track of
what code is using the `DIDescriptor` hierarchy and what you've already
updated, and I think you're extremely unlikely to insert bugs. YMMV of
course.
Back to *this* commit: I did this using the rename-md-di-nodes.sh
upgrade script I've attached to PR23080 (both code and testcases) and
filtered through clang-format-diff.py. I edited the tests for
test/Assembler/invalid-generic-debug-node-*.ll by hand since the columns
were off-by-three. It should work on your out-of-tree testcases (and
code, if you've followed the advice in the previous paragraph).
Some of the tests are in badly named files now (e.g.,
test/Assembler/invalid-mdcompositetype-missing-tag.ll should be
'dicompositetype'); I'll come back and move the files in a follow-up
commit.

1) Turns out we're not great at recognizing redundant checks when one is a != and the other is an ==. This is a bug, but it's one that matters to frontend authors.

Just above, 'op2' is stated to be unsigned, so 'negative' doesn't make

Summary:
If a pointer is marked as dereferenceable_or_null(N), LLVM assumes it
is either `null` or `dereferenceable(N)` or both. This change only
introduces the attribute and adds a token test case for the `llvm-as`
/ `llvm-dis`. It does not hook up other parts of the optimizer to
actually exploit the attribute -- those changes will come later.
For pointers in address space 0, `dereferenceable(N)` is now exactly
equivalent to `dereferenceable_or_null(N)` && `nonnull`. For other
address spaces, `dereferenceable(N)` is potentially weaker than
`dereferenceable_or_null(N)` && `nonnull` (since we could have a null
`dereferenceable(N)` pointer).
The motivating case for this change is Java (and other managed
languages), where pointers are either `null` or dereferenceable up to
some usually known-at-compile-time constant offset.

Remove 'inlinedAt:' from MDLocalVariable. Besides saving some memory
(variables with it seem to be single largest `Metadata` contributer to
memory usage right now in -g -flto builds), this stops optimization and
backend passes from having to change local variables.
The 'inlinedAt:' field was used by the backend in two ways:
1. To tell the backend whether and into what a variable was inlined.
2. To create a unique id for each inlined variable.
Instead, rely on the 'inlinedAt:' field of the intrinsic's `!dbg`
attachment, and change the DWARF backend to use a typedef called
`InlinedVariable` which is `std::pair<MDLocalVariable*, MDLocation*>`.
This `DebugLoc` is already passed reliably through the backend (as
verified by r234021).
This commit removes the check from r234021, but I added a new check
(that will survive) in r235048, and changed the `DIBuilder` API in
r235041 to require a `!dbg` attachment whose 'scope:` is in the same
`MDSubprogram` as the variable's.
If this breaks your out-of-tree testcases, perhaps the script I used
(mdlocalvariable-drop-inlinedat.sh) will help; I'll attach it to PR22778
in a moment.
