Load Hardening.
Wires up the existing pass to work with a proper IR attribute rather
than just a hidden/internal flag. The internal flag continues to work
for now, but I'll likely remove it soon.
Most of the churn here is adding the IR attribute. I talked about this
Kristof Beyls and he seemed at least initially OK with this direction.
The idea of using a full attribute here is that we *do* expect at least
some forms of this for other architectures. There isn't anything
*inherently* x86-specific about this technique, just that we only have
an implementation for x86 at the moment.
While we could potentially expose this as a Clang-level attribute as
well, that seems like a good question to defer for the moment as it
isn't 100% clear whether that or some other programmer interface (or
both?) would be best. We'll defer the programmer interface side of this
for now, but at least get to the point where the feature can be enabled
without relying on implementation details.
This also allows us to do something that was really hard before: we can
enable *just* the indirect call retpolines when using SLH. For x86, we
don't have any other way to mitigate indirect calls. Other architectures
may take a different approach of course, and none of this is surfaced to
user-level flags.

In cases where the debugger load time is a worthwhile tradeoff (or less
costly - such as loading from a DWP instead of a variety of DWOs
(possibly over a high-latency/distributed filesystem)) against object
file size, it can be reasonable to disable pubnames and corresponding
gdb-index creation in the linker.
A backend-flag version of this was implemented for NVPTX in
D44385/r327994 - which was fine for NVPTX which wouldn't mix-and-match
CUs. Now that it's going to be a user-facing option (likely powered by
"-gno-pubnames", the same as GCC) it should be encoded in the
DICompileUnit so it can vary per-CU.
After this, likely the NVPTX support should be migrated to the metadata
& the previous flag implementation should be removed.

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

X86 Supports Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT) as part of Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
IBT instruments ENDBR instructions used to specify valid targets of indirect call / jmp.
The `nocf_check` attribute has two roles in the context of X86 IBT technology:
1. Appertains to a function - do not add ENDBR instruction at the beginning of the function.
2. Appertains to a function pointer - do not track the target function of this pointer by adding nocf_check prefix to the indirect-call instruction.
This patch implements `nocf_check` context for Indirect Branch Tracking.
It also auto generates `nocf_check` prefixes before indirect branchs to jump tables that are guarded by range checks.

* The representation of enumerator values in the debug info metadata now
contains a boolean flag isUnsigned, which determines how the bits of
the value are interpreted.
* The DW_TAG_enumeration type DIE now always (for DWARF version >= 3)
includes a DW_AT_type attribute, which refers to the underlying
integer type, as suggested in DWARFv4 (5.7 Enumeration Type Entries).
* The debug info metadata for enumeration type contains (in flags)
indication whether this is a C++11 "fixed enum".
* For C++11 enumeration with a fixed underlying type, the DIE also
includes the DW_AT_enum_class attribute (for DWARF version >= 4).
* Encoding of enumerator constants uses DW_FORM_sdata for signed values
and DW_FORM_udata for unsigned values, as suggested by DWARFv4 (7.5.4
Attribute Encodings).
The changes should be backwards compatible:
* the isUnsigned attribute is optional and defaults to false.
* if the underlying type for the enumeration is not available, the
enumerator values are considered signed.
* the FixedEnum flag defaults to clear.
* the bitcode format for DIEnumerator stores the unsigned flag bit #1 of
the first record element, so the format does not change and the zero
previously stored there is consistent with the false default for
IsUnsigned.

n Rust, an enum that carries data in the variants is, essentially, a
discriminated union. Furthermore, the Rust compiler will perform
space optimizations on such enums in some situations. Previously,
DWARF for these constructs was emitted using a hack (a magic field
name); but this approach stopped working when more space optimizations
were added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/45225.
This patch changes LLVM to allow discriminated unions to be
represented in DWARF. It adds createDiscriminatedUnionType and
createDiscriminatedMemberType to DIBuilder and then arranges for this
to be emitted using DWARF's DW_TAG_variant_part and DW_TAG_variant.
Note that DWARF requires that a discriminated union be represented as
a structure with a variant part. However, as Rust only needs to emit
pure discriminated unions, this is what I chose to expose on
DIBuilder.

Sometimes users do not specify data layout in LLVM assembly and let llc set the
data layout by target triple after loading the LLVM assembly.
Currently the parser checks alloca address space no matter whether the LLVM
assembly contains data layout definition, which causes false alarm since the
default data layout does not contain the correct alloca address space.
The parser also calls verifier to check debug info and updating invalid debug
info. Currently there is no way to let the verifier to check debug info only.
If the verifier finds non-debug-info issues the parser will fail.
For llc, the fix is to remove the check of alloca addr space in the parser and
disable updating debug info, and defer the updating of debug info and
verification to be after setting data layout of the IR by target.
For other llvm tools, since they do not override data layout by target but
instead can override data layout by a command line option, an argument for
overriding data layout is added to the parser. In cases where data layout
overriding is necessary for the parser, the data layout can be provided by
command line.

It was never fully disallowed. We were rejecting it in the asm parser,
but not in the verifier.
Currently TargetMachine::shouldAssumeDSOLocal returns true for hidden
ifuncs. I considered changing it and moving the check from the asm
parser to the verifier.
The reason for deciding to allow it instead is that all linkers handle
a direct reference just fine. They use the plt address as the address
of the function. In fact doing that means that clang doesn't have the
same bug as gcc: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83782.

As discussed on llvm-dev:

and again more recently:

...this is a step in cleaning up our fast-math-flags implementation in IR to better match
the capabilities of both clang's user-visible flags and the backend's flags for SDNode.
As proposed in the above threads, we're replacing the 'UnsafeAlgebra' bit (which had the
'umbrella' meaning that all flags are set) with a new bit that only applies to algebraic
reassociation - 'AllowReassoc'.
We're also adding a bit to allow approximations for library functions called 'ApproxFunc'
(this was initially proposed as 'libm' or similar).
...and we're out of bits. 7 bits ought to be enough for anyone, right? :) FWIW, I did
look at getting this out of SubclassOptionalData via SubclassData (spacious 16-bits),
but that's apparently already used for other purposes. Also, I don't think we can just
add a field to FPMathOperator because Operator is not intended to be instantiated.
We'll defer movement of FMF to another day.
We keep the 'fast' keyword. I thought about removing that, but seeing IR like this:
%f.fast = fadd reassoc nnan ninf nsz arcp contract afn float %op1, %op2
...made me think we want to keep the shortcut synonym.
Finally, this change is binary incompatible with existing IR as seen in the
compatibility tests. This statement:
"Newer releases can ignore features from older releases, but they cannot miscompile
them. For example, if nsw is ever replaced with something else, dropping it would be
a valid way to upgrade the IR."
( http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#ir-backwards-compatibility )
...provides the flexibility we want to make this change without requiring a new IR
version. Ie, we're not loosening the FP strictness of existing IR. At worst, we will
fail to optimize some previously 'fast' code because it's no longer recognized as
'fast'. This should get fixed as we audit/squash all of the uses of 'isFast()'.
Note: an inter-dependent clang commit to use the new API name should closely follow
commit.

Currently we do not represent runtime preemption in the IR, which has several
drawbacks:
1) The semantics of GlobalValues differ depending on the object file format
you are targeting (as well as the relocation-model and -fPIE value).
2) We have no way of disabling inlining of run time interposable functions,
since in the IR we only know if a function is link-time interposable.
Because of this llvm cannot support elf-interposition semantics.
3) In LTO builds of executables we will have extra knowledge that a symbol
resolved to a local definition and can't be preemptable, but have no way to
propagate that knowledge through the compiler.
This patch adds preemptability specifiers to the IR with the following meaning:
dso_local --> means the compiler may assume the symbol will resolve to a
definition within the current linkage unit and the symbol may be accessed
directly even if the definition is not within this compilation unit.
dso_preemptable --> means that the compiler must assume the GlobalValue may be
replaced with a definition from outside the current linkage unit at runtime.
To ease transitioning dso_preemptable is treated as a 'default' in that
low-level codegen will still do the same checks it did previously to see if a
symbol should be accessed indirectly. Eventually when IR producers emit the
specifiers on all Globalvalues we can change dso_preemptable to mean 'always
access indirectly', and remove the current logic.

This came out of a recent discussion on llvm-dev
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D38042). Currently the Verifier will strip
the debug info metadata from a module if it finds the dbeug info to be
malformed. This feature is very valuable since it allows us to improve
the Verifier by making it stricter without breaking bcompatibility,
but arguable the Verifier pass should not be modifying the IR. This
patch moves the stripping of broken debug info into AutoUpgrade
(UpgradeDebugInfo to be precise), which is a much better location for
this since the stripping of malformed (i.e., produced by older, buggy
versions of Clang) is a (harsh) form of AutoUpgrade.
This change is mostly NFC in nature, the one big difference is the
behavior when LLVM module passes are introducing malformed debug
info. Prior to this patch, a NoAsserts build would have printed a
warning and stripped the debug info, after this patch the Verifier
will report a fatal error. I believe this behavior is actually more
desirable anyway.

OpenCL 2.0 introduces the notion of memory scopes in atomic operations to
global and local memory. These scopes restrict how synchronization is
achieved, which can result in improved performance.
This change extends existing notion of synchronization scopes in LLVM to
support arbitrary scopes expressed as target-specific strings, in addition to
the already defined scopes (single thread, system).
The LLVM IR and MIR syntax for expressing synchronization scopes has changed
to use *syncscope("<scope>")*, where <scope> can be "singlethread" (this
replaces *singlethread* keyword), or a target-specific name. As before, if
the scope is not specified, it defaults to CrossThread/System scope.
Implementation details:
- Mapping from synchronization scope name/string to synchronization scope id
is stored in LLVM context;
- CrossThread/System and SingleThread scopes are pre-defined to efficiently
check for known scopes without comparing strings;
- Synchronization scope names are stored in SYNC_SCOPE_NAMES_BLOCK in
the bitcode.

This change makes it invalid to directly delete a Value, User, or
Instruction pointer. Instead, such code can be rewritten to a null check
and a call Value::deleteValue(). Value objects tend to have their
lifetimes managed through iplist, so for the most part, this isn't a big
deal. However, there are some places where LLVM deletes values, and
those places had to be migrated to deleteValue. I have also created
llvm::unique_value, which has a custom deleter, so it can be used in
place of std::unique_ptr<Value>.
I had to add the "DerivedUser" Deleter escape hatch for MemorySSA, which
derives from User outside of lib/IR. Code in IR cannot include MemorySSA
headers or call the MemoryAccess object destructors without introducing
a circular dependency, so we need some level of indirection.
Unfortunately, no class derived from User may have any virtual methods,
because adding a virtual method would break User::getHungOffOperands(),
which assumes that it can find the use list immediately prior to the
User object. I've added a static_assert to the appropriate OperandTraits
templates to help people avoid this trap.

This patch extends llvm-ir to allow attributes to be set on global variables.
An RFC was sent out earlier by my colleague James Molloy: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2017-March/053100.html
A key part of that proposal was to extend LLVM-IR to carry attributes on global variables.
This generic feature could be useful for multiple purposes.
In our present context, it would be useful to carry user specified sections for bss/rodata/data.
