Use the elementtype attribute introduced in D105407 for the
llvm.preserve.array/struct.index intrinsics. It carries the
element type of the GEP these intrinsics effectively encode.
This patch:
* Adds a verifier check that the attribute is required.
* Adds it in the IRBuilder methods for these intrinsics.
* Autoupgrades old bitcode without the attribute.
* Updates the lowering code to use the attribute rather than
the pointer element type.
* Updates lots of tests to specify the attribute.
* Adds -force-opaque-pointers to the intrinsic-array.ll test
to demonstrate they work 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 is a resubmission for the previous reverted commit
9434360401 with the same subject. This commit fixed the
segfault issue and addressed additional review comments.
This patch introduced a new bpf specific attribute which can
be added to struct or union definition. For example,
struct s { ... } __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
union u { ... } __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
The goal is to simplify user codes for cases
where preserve access index happens for certain struct/union,
so user does not need to use clang __builtin_preserve_access_index
for every members.
The attribute has no effect if -g is not specified.
When the attribute is specified and -g is specified, any member
access defined by that structure or union, including array subscript
access and inner records, will be preserved through
__builtin_preserve_{array,struct,union}_access_index()
IR intrinsics, which will enable relocation generation
in bpf backend.
The following is an example to illustrate the usage:
-bash-4.4$ cat t.c
#define __reloc__ __attribute__((preserve_access_index))
struct s1 {
int c;
} __reloc__;
struct s2 {
union {
struct s1 b[3];
};
} __reloc__;
struct s3 {
struct s2 a;
} __reloc__;
int test(struct s3 *arg) {
return arg->a.b[2].c;
}
-bash-4.4$ clang -target bpf -g -S -O2 t.c
A relocation with access string "0:0:0:0:2:0" will be generated
representing access offset of arg->a.b[2].c.
forward declaration with attribute is also handled properly such
that the attribute is copied and populated in real record definition.
