This reverts commit 55c4ff91bd.
Issues were introduced as discussed in https://reviews.llvm.org/D88241
where this change made previous bugs in the linker and BitCodeWriter
visible.
Make the corresponding change that was made for byval in
b7141207a4. Like byval, this requires a
bulk update of the test IR tests to include the type before this can
be mandatory.
There's a special case in hasAttribute for None when pImpl is null. If pImpl is not null we dispatch to pImpl->hasAttribute which will always return false for Attribute::None.
So if we just want to check for None its sufficient to just check that pImpl is null. Which can even be done inline.
This patch adds a helper for that case which I hope will speed up our getSubtargetImpl implementations.

This allows tracking the in-memory type of a pointer argument to a
function for ABI purposes. This is essentially a stripped down version
of byval to remove some of the stack-copy implications in its
definition.
This includes the base IR changes, and some tests for places where it
should be treated similarly to byval. Codegen support will be in a
future patch.
My original attempt at solving some of these problems was to repurpose
byval with a different address space from the stack. However, it is
technically permitted for the callee to introduce a write to the
argument, although nothing does this in reality. There is also talk of
removing and replacing the byval attribute, so a new attribute would
need to take its place anyway.
This is intended avoid some optimization issues with the current
handling of aggregate arguments, as well as fixes inflexibilty in how
frontends can specify the kernel ABI. The most honest representation
of the amdgpu_kernel convention is to expose all kernel arguments as
loads from constant memory. Today, these are raw, SSA Argument values
and codegen is responsible for turning these into loads.
Background:
There currently isn't a satisfactory way to represent how arguments
for the amdgpu_kernel calling convention are passed. In reality,
arguments are passed in a single, flat, constant memory buffer
implicitly passed to the function. It is also illegal to call this
function in the IR, and this is only ever invoked by a driver of some
kind.
It does not make sense to have a stack passed parameter in this
context as is implied by byval. It is never valid to write to the
kernel arguments, as this would corrupt the inputs seen by other
dispatches of the kernel. These argumets are also not in the same
address space as the stack, so a copy is needed to an alloca. From a
source C-like language, the kernel parameters are invisible.
Semantically, a copy is always required from the constant argument
memory to a mutable variable.
The current clang calling convention lowering emits raw values,
including aggregates into the function argument list, since using
byval would not make sense. This has some unfortunate consequences for
the optimizer. In the aggregate case, we end up with an aggregate
store to alloca, which both SROA and instcombine turn into a store of
each aggregate field. The optimizer never pieces this back together to
see that this is really just a copy from constant memory, so we end up
stuck with expensive stack usage.
This also means the backend dictates the alignment of arguments, and
arbitrarily picks the LLVM IR ABI type alignment. By allowing an
explicit alignment, frontends can make better decisions. For example,
there's real no advantage to an aligment higher than 4, so a frontend
could choose to compact the argument layout. Similarly, there is a
high penalty to using an alignment lower than 4, so a frontend could
opt into more padding for small arguments.
Another design consideration is when it is appropriate to expose the
fact that these arguments are all really passed in adjacent
memory. Currently we have a late IR optimization pass in codegen to
rewrite the kernel argument values into explicit loads to enable
vectorization. In most programs, unrelated argument loads can be
merged together. However, exposing this property directly from the
frontend has some disadvantages. We still need a way to track the
original argument sizes and alignments to report to the driver. I find
using some side-channel, metadata mechanism to track this
unappealing. If the kernel arguments were exposed as a single buffer
to begin with, alias analysis would be unaware that the padding bits
betewen arguments are meaningless. Another family of problems is there
are still some gaps in replacing all of the available parameter
attributes with metadata equivalents once lowered to loads.
The immediate plan is to start using this new attribute to handle all
aggregate argumets for kernels. Long term, it makes sense to migrate
all kernel arguments, including scalars, to be passed indirectly in
the same manner.
Additional context is in D79744.
I noticed that for some benchmarks we spend quite a bit of time
inside AttributeList::hasAttrSomewhere(), mainly when checking
for the "returned" attribute. Most of the time the attribute will
not be present, in which case this function has to walk through
the whole attribute list and check for the attribute at each index.
This patch adds a cache of all "available somewhere" attributes
inside AttributeListImpl. This makes the structure 12 bytes larger,
but I don't think that's problematic, as attribute lists are uniqued.
Compile-time in terms of instructions retired improves by 0.4% on
average, but >1% for sqlite.

This means AttrBuilder will always create a sorted set of attributes and
we can skip the sorting step. Sorting attributes is surprisingly
expensive, and I recently made it worse by making it use array_pod_sort.
Attributes are currently stored as a simple list. Enum attributes
additionally use a bitset to allow quickly determining whether an
attribute is set. String attributes on the other hand require a
full scan of the list. As functions tend to have a lot of string
attributes (at least when clang is used), this is a noticeable
performance issue.
This patch adds an additional name => attribute map to the
AttributeSetNode, which allows querying string attributes quickly.
This results in a 3% reduction in instructions retired on CTMark.
Changes to memory usage seem to be in the noise (attribute sets are
uniqued, and we don't tend to have more than a few dozen or hundred
unique attribute sets, so adding an extra map does not have a
noticeable cost.)

This is how it should've been and brings it more in line with
std::string_view. There should be no functional change here.
This is mostly mechanical from a custom clang-tidy check, with a lot of
manual fixups. It uncovers a lot of minor inefficiencies.
This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
TypeAttributeImpl inherits from EnumAttributeImpl which already defines anchor() as a virtual, so we should override this instead of redeclaring it.

When we switch to opaque pointer types we will need some way to describe
how many bytes a 'byval' parameter should occupy on the stack. This adds
a (for now) optional extra type parameter.
If present, the type must match the pointee type of the argument.
The original commit did not remap byval types when linking modules, which broke
LTO. This version fixes that.
Note to front-end maintainers: if this causes test failures, it's probably
because the "byval" attribute is printed after attributes without any parameter
after this change.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
Before this change, AttributeLists stored a pair of index and
AttributeSet. This is memory efficient if most arguments do not have
attributes. However, it requires doing a search over the pairs to test
an argument or function attribute. Profiling shows that this loop was
0.76% of the time in 'opt -O2' of sqlite3.c, because LLVM constantly
tests values for nullability.
This was worth about 2.5% of mid-level optimization cycles on the
sqlite3 amalgamation. Here are the full perf results:
https://reviews.llvm.org/P7995
Here are just the before and after cycle counts:
```
$ perf stat -r 5 ./opt_before -O2 sqlite3.bc -o /dev/null
13,274,181,184 cycles # 3.047 GHz ( +- 0.28% )
$ perf stat -r 5 ./opt_after -O2 sqlite3.bc -o /dev/null
12,906,927,263 cycles # 3.043 GHz ( +- 0.51% )
```
This patch *does not* change the indices used to query attributes, as
requested by reviewers. Tracking whether an index is usable for array
indexing is a huge pain that affects many of the internal APIs, so it
would be good to come back later and do a cleanup to remove this
internal adjustment.

Remove the temporary, poorly named getSlotSet method which did the same
thing. Also remove getSlotNode, which is a hold-over from when we were
dealing with AttributeSetNode* instead of AttributeSet.
llvm-svn: 301267
Summary:
For now, it just wraps AttributeSetNode*. Eventually, it will hold
AvailableAttrs as an inline bitset, and adding and removing enum
attributes will be super cheap.
This sinks AttributeSetNode back down to lib/IR/AttributeImpl.h.

This re-lands r299875.
I introduced a bug in Clang code responsible for replacing K&R, no
prototype declarations with a real function definition with a prototype.
The bug was here:
// Collect any return attributes from the call.
- if (oldAttrs.hasAttributes(llvm::AttributeList::ReturnIndex))
- newAttrs.push_back(llvm::AttributeList::get(newFn->getContext(),
- oldAttrs.getRetAttributes()));
+ newAttrs.push_back(oldAttrs.getRetAttributes());
Previously getRetAttributes() carried AttributeList::ReturnIndex in its
AttributeList. Now that we return the AttributeSetNode* directly, it no
longer carries that index, and we call this overload with a single node:
AttributeList::get(LLVMContext&, ArrayRef<AttributeSetNode*>)
That aborted with an assertion on x86_32 targets. I added an explicit
triple to the test and added CHECKs to help find issues like this in the
future sooner.
llvm-svn: 299899
Summary:
AttributeList::get(Fn|Ret|Param)Attributes no longer creates a temporary
AttributeList just to hide the AttributeSetNode type.
I've also added a factory method to create AttributeLists from a
parallel array of AttributeSetNodes. I think this simplifies
construction of AttributeLists when rewriting function prototypes.
Previously we would test if a particular index had attributes, and
conditionally add a temporary attribute list to a vector. Now the
attribute set vector is parallel to the argument vector already that
these passes already construct.
My long term vision is to wrap AttributeSetNode* inside an AttributeSet
type that holds the enum attributes, but that will come in a follow up
change.
I haven't done any performance measurements for this change because
profiling hasn't shown that any of the affected code is hot.

Summary:
This class is a list of AttributeSetNodes corresponding the function
prototype of a call or function declaration. This class used to be
called ParamAttrListPtr, then AttrListPtr, then AttributeSet. It is
typically accessed by parameter and return value index, so
"AttributeList" seems like a more intuitive name.
Rename AttributeSetImpl to AttributeListImpl to follow suit.
It's useful to rename this class so that we can rename AttributeSetNode
to AttributeSet later. AttributeSet is the set of attributes that apply
to a single function, argument, or return value.

each derived class that is actually deleted, and give up on the static type
safety of an error when sized delete is accidentally used on a type derived

This fixes undefined behavior in C++14 due to the size of the object being
deleted being different from sizeof(dynamic type) when it is allocated with
trailing objects.
MSVC seems to have several bugs around using-declarations changing the access
