Peter Collingbourne d93620bf4d IR: Introduce inrange attribute on getelementptr indices.
If the inrange keyword is present before any index, loading from or
storing to any pointer derived from the getelementptr has undefined
behavior if the load or store would access memory outside of the bounds of
the element selected by the index marked as inrange.

This can be used, e.g. for alias analysis or to split globals at element
boundaries where beneficial.

Peter Collingbourne 96efdd6107 IR: Introduce local_unnamed_addr attribute.
If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.

This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
  the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
  being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
  address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
  its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
  must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
  the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)

Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

Reid Kleckner de3d8b500f [DebugInfo] Add calling convention support for DWARF and CodeView
Summary:
Now DISubroutineType has a 'cc' field which should be a DW_CC_ enum.  If
it is present and non-zero, the backend will emit it as a
DW_AT_calling_convention attribute. On the CodeView side, we translate
it to the appropriate enum for the LF_PROCEDURE record.

I added a new LLVM vendor specific enum to the list of DWARF calling
conventions. DWARF does not appear to attempt to standardize these, so I
assume it's OK to do this until we coordinate with GCC on how to emit
vectorcall convention functions.

David Majnemer 8a1c45d6e8 [IR] Reformulate LLVM's EH funclet IR
While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
  but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
  experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers.  They cannot
  be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
  This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
  It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
  funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
  control flow edges.  Because of this, we are forced to carefully
  analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
  nesting among funclets.  While we have logic to clone funclets when
  they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
  representation which forbade them upfront.

Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
  flow, just a bunch of simple operands;  catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
  the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
  the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad.  Their presence can be inferred
  implicitly using coloring information.

N.B.  The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for.  An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

Manman Ren 19c7bbe3b7 [CXX TLS calling convention] Add CXX TLS calling convention.
This commit adds a new target-independent calling convention for C++ TLS
access functions. It aims to minimize overhead in the caller by perserving as
many registers as possible.

The target-specific implementation for X86-64 is defined as following:
  Arguments are passed as for the default C calling convention
  The same applies for the return value(s)
  The callee preserves all GPRs - except RAX and RDI

The access function makes C-style TLS function calls in the entry and exit
block, C-style TLS functions save a lot more registers than normal calls.
The added calling convention ties into the existing implementation of the
C-style TLS functions, so we can't simply use existing calling conventions
such as preserve_mostcc.

When working with tokens, it is often the case that one has instructions

Instead, we can create a notional "empty token" by inventing a new

Maksim Panchenko cce239c45d HHVM calling conventions.
HHVM calling convention, hhvmcc, is used by HHVM JIT for
functions in translated cache. We currently support LLVM back end to
generate code for X86-64 and may support other architectures in the
future.

In HHVM calling convention any GP register could be used to pass and
return values, with the exception of R12 which is reserved for
thread-local area and is callee-saved. Other than R12, we always
pass RBX and RBP as args, which are our virtual machine's stack pointer
and frame pointer respectively.

When we enter translation cache via hhvmcc function, we expect
the stack to be aligned at 16 bytes, i.e. skewed by 8 bytes as opposed
to standard ABI alignment. This affects stack object alignment and stack
adjustments for function calls.

One extra calling convention, hhvm_ccc, is used to call C++ helpers from
HHVM's translation cache. It is almost identical to standard C calling
convention with an exception of first argument which is passed in RBP
(before we use RDI, RSI, etc.)

Joseph Tremoulet 9ce71f76b9 [WinEH] Add cleanupendpad instruction
Summary:
Add a `cleanupendpad` instruction, used to mark exceptional exits out of
cleanups (for languages/targets that can abort a cleanup with another
exception).  The `cleanupendpad` instruction is similar to the `catchendpad`
instruction in that it is an EH pad which is the target of unwind edges in
the handler and which itself has an unwind edge to the next EH action.
The `cleanupendpad` instruction, similar to `cleanupret` has a `cleanuppad`
argument indicating which cleanup it exits.  The unwind successors of a
`cleanuppad`'s `cleanupendpad`s must agree with each other and with its
`cleanupret`s.

Update WinEHPrepare (and docs/tests) to accomodate `cleanupendpad`.

David Majnemer b611e3f50e [IR] Add token types
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.

Peter Collingbourne 82437bf7a5 Protection against stack-based memory corruption errors using SafeStack
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.

Sanjoy Das 31ea6d1590 [IR] Introduce a dereferenceable_or_null(N) attribute.
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.
