Lorenz Bauer reported that the following code will have
compilation error for bpf target:
enum e { TWO };
bpf_core_enum_value_exists(enum e, TWO);
The clang emitted the following error message:
__builtin_preserve_enum_value argument 1 invalid
In SemaChecking, an expression like "*(enum NAME)1" will have
cast kind CK_IntegralToPointer, but "*(enum NAME)0" will have
cast kind CK_NullToPointer. Current implementation only permits
CK_IntegralToPointer, missing enum value 0 case.
This patch permits CK_NullToPointer cast kind and
the above test case can pass now.

Move abstractMemberAccess and PreserveDIType passes as early as
possible, right after clang code generation.
Currently, compiler may transform the above code
p1 = llvm.bpf.builtin.preserve.struct.access(base, 0, 0);
p2 = llvm.bpf.builtin.preserve.struct.access(p1, 1, 2);
a = llvm.bpf.builtin.preserve_field_info(p2, EXIST);
if (a) {
p1 = llvm.bpf.builtin.preserve.struct.access(base, 0, 0);
p2 = llvm.bpf.builtin.preserve.struct.access(p1, 1, 2);
bpf_probe_read(buf, buf_size, p2);
}
to
p1 = llvm.bpf.builtin.preserve.struct.access(base, 0, 0);
p2 = llvm.bpf.builtin.preserve.struct.access(p1, 1, 2);
a = llvm.bpf.builtin.preserve_field_info(p2, EXIST);
if (a) {
bpf_probe_read(buf, buf_size, p2);
}
and eventually assembly code looks like
reloc_exist = 1;
reloc_member_offset = 10; //calculate member offset from base
p2 = base + reloc_member_offset;
if (reloc_exist) {
bpf_probe_read(bpf, buf_size, p2);
}
if during libbpf relocation resolution, reloc_exist is actually
resolved to 0 (not exist), reloc_member_offset relocation cannot
be resolved and will be patched with illegal instruction.
This will cause verifier failure.
This patch attempts to address this issue by do chaining
analysis and replace chains with special globals right
after clang code gen. This will remove the cse possibility
described in the above. The IR typically looks like
%6 = load @llvm.sk_buff:0:50$0:0:0:2:0
%7 = bitcast %struct.sk_buff* %2 to i8*
%8 = getelementptr i8, i8* %7, %6
for a particular address computation relocation.
But this transformation has another consequence, code sinking
may happen like below:
PHI = <possibly different @preserve_*_access_globals>
%7 = bitcast %struct.sk_buff* %2 to i8*
%8 = getelementptr i8, i8* %7, %6
For such cases, we will not able to generate relocations since
multiple relocations are merged into one.
This patch introduced a passthrough builtin
to prevent such optimization. Looks like inline assembly has more
impact for optimizaiton, e.g., inlining. Using passthrough has
less impact on optimizations.
A new IR pass is introduced at the beginning of target-dependent
IR optimization, which does:
- report fatal error if any reloc global in PHI nodes
- remove all bpf passthrough builtin functions
Changes for existing CORE tests:
- for clang tests, add "-Xclang -disable-llvm-passes" flags to
avoid builtin->reloc_global transformation so the test is still
able to check correctness for clang generated IR.
- for llvm CodeGen/BPF tests, add "opt -O2 <ir_file> | llvm-dis" command
before "llc" command since "opt" is needed to call newly-placed
builtin->reloc_global transformation. Add target triple in the IR
file since "opt" requires it.
- Since target triple is added in IR file, if a test may produce
different results for different endianness, two tests will be
created, one for bpfeb and another for bpfel, e.g., some tests
for relocation of lshift/rshift of bitfields.
- field-reloc-bitfield-1.ll has different relocations compared to
old codes. This is because for the structure in the test,
new code returns struct layout alignment 4 while old code
is 8. Align 8 is more precise and permits double load. With align 4,
the new mechanism uses 4-byte load, so generating different
relocations.
- test intrinsic-transforms.ll is removed. This is used to test
cse on intrinsics so we do not lose metadata. Now metadata is attached
to global and not instruction, it won't get lost with cse.

This patch added the following additional compile-once
run-everywhere (CO-RE) relocations:
- existence/size of typedef, struct/union or enum type
- enum value and enum value existence
These additional relocations will make CO-RE bpf programs more
adaptive for potential kernel internal data structure changes.
For existence/size relocations, the following two code patterns
are supported:
1. uint32_t __builtin_preserve_type_info(*(<type> *)0, flag);
2. <type> var;
uint32_t __builtin_preserve_field_info(var, flag);
flag = 0 for existence relocation and flag = 1 for size relocation.
For enum value existence and enum value relocations, the following code
pattern is supported:
uint64_t __builtin_preserve_enum_value(*(<enum_type> *)<enum_value>,
flag);
flag = 0 means existence relocation and flag = 1 for enum value.
relocation. In the above <enum_type> can be an enum type or
a typedef to enum type. The <enum_value> needs to be an enumerator
value from the same enum type. The return type is uint64_t to
permit potential 64bit enumerator values.
