David Blaikie a79ac14fa6 [opaque pointer type] Add textual IR support for explicit type parameter to load instruction
Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.

A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)

import fileinput
import sys
import re

pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")

for line in sys.stdin:
  sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

David Blaikie 79e6c74981 [opaque pointer type] Add textual IR support for explicit type parameter to getelementptr instruction
One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.

This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.

* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
  handled separately)

* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
  in-memory representation will be in separate changes.

* geps of vectors are transformed as:
    getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
  ->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
  Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
  like:
    getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
  with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.

* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
    getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
  ->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
  Then, eventually:
    getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x

Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by
same crappy python code. I had to manually update a few test cases that
wouldn't fit the script's model (r228970,r229196,r229197,r229198). The
python script just massages stdin and writes the result to stdout, I
then wrapped that in a shell script to handle replacing files, then
using the usual find+xargs to migrate all the files.

update.py:
import fileinput
import sys
import re

ibrep = re.compile(r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr inbounds )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")
normrep = re.compile(       r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")

def conv(match, line):
  if not match:
    return line
  line = match.groups()[0]
  if len(match.groups()[5]) == 0:
    line += match.groups()[2]
  line += match.groups()[3]
  line += ", "
  line += match.groups()[1]
  line += "\n"
  return line

for line in sys.stdin:
  if line.find("getelementptr ") == line.find("getelementptr inbounds"):
    if line.find("getelementptr inbounds") != line.find("getelementptr inbounds ("):
      line = conv(re.match(ibrep, line), line)
  elif line.find("getelementptr ") != line.find("getelementptr ("):
    line = conv(re.match(normrep, line), line)
  sys.stdout.write(line)

apply.sh:
for name in "$@"
do
  python3 `dirname "$0"`/update.py < "$name" > "$name.tmp" && mv "$name.tmp" "$name"
  rm -f "$name.tmp"
done

The actual commands:
From llvm/src:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
From llvm/src/tools/clang:
find test/ -name *.mm -o -name *.m -o -name *.cpp -o -name *.c | xargs -I '{}' ../../apply.sh "{}"
From llvm/src/tools/polly:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh

After that, check-all (with llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, lld,
compiler-rt, and polly all checked out).

The extra 'rm' in the apply.sh script is due to a few files in clang's test
suite using interesting unicode stuff that my python script was throwing
exceptions on. None of those files needed to be migrated, so it seemed
sufficient to ignore those cases.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 738889f752 IR: Drop newline from AssemblyWriter::printMDNodeBody()
Remove a newline from `AssemblyWriter::printMDNodeBody()`, and add one
to `AssemblyWriter::writeMDNode()`.  NFCI for assembly output.

However, this drops an inconsistent newline from `Metadata::print()`
when `this` is an `MDNode`.  Now the newline added by `Metadata::dump()`
won't look so verbose.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 89c1eaa531 IR: Annotate dump methods with LLVM_DUMP_METHOD
It turns out we have a macro to ensure that debuggers can access
`dump()` methods.  Use it.  Hopefully this will prevent me (and others)
from committing crimes like in r223802 (search for /10000/, or just see
the fix in r224407).

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 70ab3d2af6 AsmParser/Writer: Handle symbolic constants in DI 'flags:'
Parse (and write) symbolic constants in debug info `flags:` fields.
This prevents a readability (and CHECK-ability) regression with the new
debug info hierarchy.

Old (well, current) assembly, with pretty-printing:

    !{!"...\\0016387", ...} ; ... [public] [rvalue reference]

Flags field without this change:

   !MDDerivedType(flags: 16387, ...)

Flags field with this change:

   !MDDerivedType(flags: DIFlagPublic | DIFlagRValueReference, ...)

As discussed in the review thread, this isn't a final state.  Most of
these flags correspond to `DW_AT_` symbolic constants, and we might
eventually want to support arbitrary attributes in some form.  However,
as it stands now, some of the flags correspond to other concepts (like
`FlagStaticMember`); until things are refactored this is the simplest
way to move forward without regressing assembly.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith ad6eb127c9 Bitcode: Stop assuming non-null fields
When writing the bitcode serialization for the new debug info hierarchy,
I assumed two fields would never be null.

Drop that assumption, since it's brittle (and crashes the
`BitcodeWriter` if wrong), and is a check better left for the verifier
anyway.  (No need for a bitcode upgrade here, since the new hierarchy is
still not in place.)

The fields in question are `MDCompileUnit::getFile()` and
`MDDerivedType::getBaseType()`, the latter of which isn't null in
test/Transforms/Mem2Reg/ConvertDebugInfo2.ll (see !14, a pointer to
nothing).  While the testcase might have bitrotted, there's no reason
for the bitcode format to rely on non-null for metadata operands.

This also fixes a bug in `AsmWriter` where if the `file:` is null it
isn't emitted (caught by the double-round trip in the testcase I'm
adding) -- this is a required field in `LLParser`.

I'll circle back to ConvertDebugInfo2.  Once the specialized nodes are
in place, I'll be trying to turn the debug info verifier back on by
default (in the newer module pass form committed r206300) and throwing
more logic in there.  If the testcase has bitrotted (as opposed to me
not understanding the schema correctly) I'll fix it then.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 3d62bbacb1 IR: Drop scope from MDTemplateParameter
Follow-up to r229740, which removed `DITemplate*::getContext()` after my
upgrade script revealed that scopes are always `nullptr` for template
parameters.  This is the other shoe: drop `scope:` from
`MDTemplateParameter` and its two subclasses.  (Note: a bitcode upgrade
would be pointless, since the hierarchy hasn't been moved into place.)

Put the name before the value in assembly for `MDEnum`.  While working

(somewhat typical) case that they have a common prefix.

I've marked a bunch of obvious changes as `TODO`s in the source; I plan
to make those changes promptly after this hierarchy is moved underneath
`DIDescriptor`, but for now I'm aiming mostly to match the status quo.

This doesn't move it into place yet; that change will require a large

Propagate whether `MDNode`s are 'distinct' through the other types of IR
(assembly and bitcode).  This adds the `distinct` keyword to assembly.

Currently, no one actually calls `MDNode::getDistinct()`, so these nodes
only get created for:

  - self-references, which are never uniqued, and
  - nodes whose operands are replaced that hit a uniquing collision.

The concept of distinct nodes is still not quite first-class, since
distinct-ness doesn't yet survive across `MapMetadata()`.

Rafael Espindola 83a362cde8 Change the .ll syntax for comdats and add a syntactic sugar.
In order to make comdats always explicit in the IR, we decided to make
the syntax a bit more compact for the case of a GlobalObject in a
comdat with the same name.

Just dropping the $name causes problems for

@foo = globabl i32 0, comdat
$bar = comdat ...

and

declare void @foo() comdat
$bar = comdat ...

So the syntax is changed to

@g1 = globabl i32 0, comdat($c1)
@g2 = globabl i32 0, comdat

and

declare void @foo() comdat($c1)
declare void @foo() comdat

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith fee167fcc0 IR: Make MDNode::dump() useful by adding addresses
It's horrible to inspect `MDNode`s in a debugger.  All of their operands
that are `MDNode`s get dumped as `<badref>`, since we can't assign
metadata slots in the context of a `Metadata::dump()`.  (Why not?  Why
not assign numbers lazily?  Because then each time you called `dump()`,
a given `MDNode` could have a different lazily assigned number.)

Fortunately, the C memory model gives us perfectly good identifiers for
`MDNode`.  Add pointer addresses to the dumps, transforming this:

    (lldb) e N->dump()
    !{i32 662302, i32 26, <badref>, null}

    (lldb) e ((MDNode*)N->getOperand(2))->dump()
    !{i32 4, !"foo"}

    (lldb) e N->dump()
    !{i32 662302, i32 26, <0x100706ee0>, null}

    (lldb) e ((MDNode*)0x100706ee0)->dump()
    !{i32 4, !"foo"}

and this:

    (lldb) e N->dump()
    0x101200248 = !{<badref>, <badref>, <badref>, <badref>, <badref>}

    (lldb) e N->getOperand(0)

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith be7ea19b58 IR: Make metadata typeless in assembly
Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly.  These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.

  - Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
    intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.

  - Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
    when referencing it from call intrinsics.

So, assembly like this:

    define @foo(i32 %v) {
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
      ret void, !bar !2
    }
    !0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
    !1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
    !2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
    !3 = metadata !{}

turns into this:

    define @foo(i32 %v) {
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
      ret void, !bar !2
    }
    !0 = !{!2}
    !1 = !{i32* @global}
    !2 = !{!3}
    !3 = !{}

I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines).  I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.

bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.

I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`.  If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(.  Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it.  FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.

This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.

Here's a quick guide for updating your code:

  - `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
    `MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`.  It is distinct from
    the `Value` class hierarchy.  It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
    *not* have a `Type`.

  - `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).

  - `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
    replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.

    If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
    construction -- just use `MDNode*`.

  - `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
    `replaceAllUsesWith()`.

    As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
    result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
    uses and can RAUW itself.  Once the forward declarations are fully
    resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground.  This means that
    uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
    "distinct".  (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
    operand went to null.)

    If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
    you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
    top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes).  Also,
    don't do that.  Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
    construct them) are expensive.

  - An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
    `ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).

    As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
    to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
    `Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
    third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.

    The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
    metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
    the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
    `GlobalValue`s).

    In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
    namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
    avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
    site.  If your old code was:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(isa             <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(cast            <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(cast_or_null    <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(dyn_cast        <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

    you can trivially match its semantics with:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(mdconst::hasa               <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(mdconst::extract            <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(mdconst::extract_or_null    <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(mdconst::dyn_extract        <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

    and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(isa             <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(cast            <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(cast_or_null    <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(dyn_cast        <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

  - A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
    metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`.  This is a
    subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.

    `MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
    `LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
    like `Argument` and `Instruction`.  It can also refer to any other
    `Metadata` subclass.

(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

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.

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).
