Summary:
An upgrade of LLVM for CrOS [0] containing [1] triggered a bunch of
errors related to writing to reserved registers for a Linux kernel's
arm64 compat vdso (which is a aarch32 image).
After a discussion on LKML [2], it was determined that
-f{no-}omit-frame-pointer was not being specified. Comparing GCC and
Clang [3], it becomes apparent that GCC defaults to omitting the frame
pointer implicitly when optimizations are enabled, and Clang does not.
ie. setting -O1 (or above) implies -fomit-frame-pointer. Clang was
defaulting to -fno-omit-frame-pointer implicitly unless -fomit-frame-pointer
was set explicitly.
Why this becomes a problem is that the Linux kernel's arm64 compat vdso
contains code that uses r7. r7 is used sometimes for the frame pointer
(for example, when targeting thumb (-mthumb)). See useR7AsFramePointer()
in llvm/llvm-project/llvm/lib/Target/ARM/ARMSubtarget.h. This is mostly
for legacy/compatibility reasons, and the 2019 Q4 revision of the ARM
AAPCS looks to standardize r11 as the frame pointer for aarch32, though
this is not yet implemented in LLVM.
Users that are reliant on the implicit value if unspecified when
optimizations are enabled should explicitly choose -fomit-frame-pointer
(new behavior) or -fno-omit-frame-pointer (old behavior).

-mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer is currently a no-op because
TargetOptions::DisableFramePointerElim is only considered for non-leaf
functions.

This fixes a regression from r365860: As that commit message
states, there are 3 valid states targeted by the combination of
-f(no-)omit-frame-pointer and -m(no-)omit-leaf-frame-pointer.
After r365860 it's impossible to get from state 10 (omit just
leaf frame pointers) to state 11 (omit all frame pointers)
in a single command line without getting a warning.
This change restores that functionality.
Fixes PR42966.

with '-mframe-pointer'
After D56351 and D64294, frame pointer handling is migrated to tri-state
(all, non-leaf, none) in clang driver and on the function attribute.
This patch makes the frame pointer handling cc1 option tri-state.

Use a tri-state enum to represent shouldUseFramePointer() and
shouldUseLeafFramePointer().
This simplifies the logic and fixes PR9825:
-fno-omit-frame-pointer doesn't imply -mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer.
and PR24003:
/Oy- /O2 should not omit leaf frame pointer: this matches MSVC x86-32.
(/Oy- is a no-op on MSVC x86-64.)
and:
when CC1 option -mdisable-fp-elim if absent, -momit-leaf-frame-pointer
can also be omitted.
The new behavior matches GCC:
-fomit-frame-pointer wins over -mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer
-fno-omit-frame-pointer loses out to -momit-leaf-frame-pointer
The behavior makes lots of sense. We have 4 states:
- 00) leaf retained, non-leaf retained
- 01) leaf retained, non-leaf omitted (this is invalid)
- 10) leaf omitted, non-leaf retained (what -momit-leaf-frame-pointer was designed for)
- 11) leaf omitted, non-leaf omitted
"omit" options taking precedence over "no-omit" options is the only way
to make 3 valid states representable with -f(no-)?omit-frame-pointer and
-m(no-)?omit-leaf-pointer.

In r279546 I disabled all frame pointer elimination at the front-end on
ARM-Darwin (and warned about it) because before that the backend had been
silently ignoring these options. It turns out we didn't ignore
-momit-leaf-frame-pointer though, just the more general -fomit-frame-pointer.
So this re-enables passing that down to CodeGen so that everything really does
continue working as before (with better diagnostics).

iOS (and other 32-bit ARM variants) always require a valid frame pointer to
improve backtraces. Previously the -fomit-frame-pointer and
-momit-leaf-frame-pointer options were being silently discarded via hacks in
the backend. It's better if Clang configures itself to emit the correct IR and
warns about (ignored) attempts to override this.

On Linux we pass in -fomit-frame-pointer flags (and similar)
automatically if optimization is enabled. Let's do the same thing on
CloudABI. Without this, Clang seems to run out of registers quite
quickly while trying to build code with inline assembly.
