This commit moves `MDLocation`, finishing off PR21433. There's an
accompanying clang commit for frontend testcases. I'll attach the
testcase upgrade script I used to PR21433 to help out-of-tree
frontends/backends.
This changes the schema for `DebugLoc` and `DILocation` from:
!{i32 3, i32 7, !7, !8}
to:
!MDLocation(line: 3, column: 7, scope: !7, inlinedAt: !8)
Note that empty fields (line/column: 0 and inlinedAt: null) don't get
printed by the assembly writer.

Create new copies of distinct `MDNode`s instead of following the
uniquing `MDNode` logic.
Just like self-references (or other cycles), `MapMetadata()` creates a
new node. In practice most calls use `RF_NoModuleLevelChanges`, in
which case nothing is duplicated anyway.
Part of PR22111.
llvm-svn: 225476
`MDNode::replaceOperandWith()` changes all instances of metadata. Stop
using it when linking module flags, since (due to uniquing) the flag
values could be used by other metadata.
Instead, use new API `NamedMDNode::setOperand()` to update the reference
directly.

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

This reverts commit r224416, reapplying r224389. The buildbots hadn't
recovered after my revert, waiting until David reverted a couple of his
commits. It looks like it was just bad timing (where we were both
modifying code related to the same assertion). Trying again...
Here's the original text:
When a function gets replaced by `ModuleLinker`, drop superseded
subprograms. This ensures that the "first" subprogram pointing at a
function is the same one that `!dbg` references point at.
This is a stop-gap fix for PR21910. Notably, this fixes Release+Asserts
bootstraps that are currently asserting out in
`LexicalScopes::initialize()` due to the explicit instantiations in
`lib/IR/Dominators.cpp` eventually getting replaced by -argpromotion.

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.
This is part of PR21532.

Canonicalize formatting of metadata to make it easier to upgrade via

`sed`-able.
This is preparation for changing the assembly syntax for metadata [1].

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
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.)

We were already lazily linking functions, but all GlobalValues can be treated
uniformly for this.
The test updates are to ensure that a given GlobalValue is still linked in.
This fixes pr21494.
llvm-svn: 223681
The non-opaque part can be structurally uniqued. To keep this to just
a hash lookup, we don't try to unique cyclic types.
Also change the type mapping algorithm to be optimistic about a type
not being recursive and only create a new type when proven to be wrong.
This is not as strong as trying to speculate that we can keep the source
type, but is simpler (no speculation to revert) and more powerfull
than what we had before (we don't copy non-recursive types at least).
I initially wrote this to try to replace the name based type merging.
It is not strong enough to replace it, but is is a useful addition.
With this patch the number of named struct types is a clang lto bootstrap goes
from 49674 to 15986.
llvm-svn: 223278
When lazy reading a module, the types used in a function will not be visible to
a TypeFinder until the body is read.
This patch fixes that by asking the module for its identified struct types.
If a materializer is present, the module asks it. If not, it uses a TypeFinder.
This fixes pr21374.
I will be the first to say that this is ugly, but it was the best I could find.
Some of the options I looked at:
* Asking the LLVMContext. This could be made to work for gold, but not currently
for ld64. ld64 will load multiple modules into a single context before merging
them. This causes us to see types from future merges. Unfortunately,
MappedTypes is not just a cache when it comes to opaque types. Once the
mapping has been made, we have to remember it for as long as the key may
be used. This would mean moving MappedTypes to the Linker class and having
to drop the Linker::LinkModules static methods, which are visible from C.
* Adding an option to ignore function bodies in the TypeFinder. This would
fix the PR by picking the worst result. It would work, but unfortunately
we are currently quite dependent on the upfront type merging. I will
try to reduce our dependency, but it is not clear that we will be able
to get rid of it for now.
The only clean solution I could think of is making the Module own the types.
This would have other advantages, but it is a much bigger change. I will
propose it, but it is nice to have this fixed while that is discussed.
With the gold plugin, this patch takes the number of types in the LTO clang
binary from 52817 to 49669.

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).

The explicit set of destination types is not fully redundant when lazy loading
since the TypeFinder will not find types used only in function bodies.
This keeps the logic to drop the name of mapped types since it still helps
with avoiding further renaming.
llvm-svn: 223043
Instead of keeping an explicit set, just drop the names of types we choose
to map to some other type.
This has the advantage that the name of the unused will not cause the context
to rename types on module read.
llvm-svn: 222986
The original patch would fail when:
* A dst opaque type (%A) is matched with a src type (%A).
* A src opaque (%E) type is then speculatively matched with %A and the
speculation fails afterward.
* When rolling back the speculation we would cancel the source %A to dest
%A mapping.
The fix is to keep an explicit list of which resolutions are speculative.
Original message:
Fix overly aggressive type merging.
If we find out that two types are *not* isomorphic, we learn nothing about
opaque sub types in both the source and destination.

This changes the order in which different types are passed to get, but
one order is not inherently better than the other.
The main motivation is that this simplifies linkDefinedTypeBodies now that
it is only linking "real" opaque types. It is also means that we only have to
call it once and that we don't need getImpl.
A small change in behavior is that we don't copy type names when resolving
opaque types. This is an improvement IMHO, but it can be added back if
desired. A test is included with the new behavior.

Change uniquing from a `FoldingSet` to a `DenseSet` with custom
`DenseMapInfo`. Unfortunately, this doesn't save any memory, since
`DenseSet<T>` is a simple wrapper for `DenseMap<T, char>`, but I'll come
back to fix that later.
I used the name `GenericDenseMapInfo` to the custom `DenseMapInfo` since
I'll be splitting `MDNode` into two classes soon: `MDNodeFwdDecl` for
temporaries, and `GenericMDNode` for everything else.
I also added a non-debug-info reduced version of a type-uniquing test
that started failing on an earlier draft of this patch.

Summary:
This makes PIC levels a Module flag attribute, which can be queried by the
backend. The flag is named `PIC Level`, and can have a value of:
0 - Backend-default
1 - Small-model (-fpic)
2 - Large-model (-fPIC)
These match the `-pic-level' command line argument for clang, and the value of the
preprocessor macro `__PIC__'.
Test Plan:
New flags tests specific for the 'PIC Level' module flag.
Tests to be added as part of a future commit for PowerPC, which will use this new API.

The langref says:
LLVM explicitly allows declarations of global variables to be marked
constant, even if the final definition of the global is not. This
capability can be used to enable slightly better optimization of the
program, but requires the language definition to guarantee that
optimizations based on the ‘constantness’ are valid for the
translation units that do not include the definition.
Given that definition, when merging two declarations, we have to drop
constantness if of of them is not marked contant, since the Module
without the constant marker might not have the necessary guarantees.
