created during combining should also have it. Tell the builder to
add it.

This patch updates Clang's IRGen to add !annotation nodes with an
"auto-init" annotation to all stores for auto-initialization.
As discussed in 'RFC: Combining Annotation Metadata and Remarks'
(http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-November/146393.html)
this allows using optimization remarks to track down where auto-init
code was inserted (and not removed by optimizations).
There are a few cases in the tests where !annotation gets dropped by
optimizations. Those optimizations will be updated in subsequent
patches.

The code was pretending to be doing something useful with vectors, but
really it was doing nothing: the element type of a vector is always a
scalar type, so constWithPadding would always just return the input constant.
Split off from D75661 so it can be reviewed separately.
While I'm here, also add testcase to show missing vector handling.

tweaking after.
Test updates: Outside of the newpm tests most of the updates are coming from either
optimization passes not run anymore (and without a compelling argument at the moment)

As per the discussion on D58375, we disable test that have optimizations under
the new PM. This patch adds -fno-experimental-new-pass-manager to RUNS that:
- Already run with optimizations (-O1 or higher) that were missed in D58375.
- Explicitly test new PM behavior along side some new PM RUNS, but are missing
this flag if new PM is enabled by default.
- Specify -O without the number. Based on getOptimizationLevel(), it seems the
default is 2, and the IR appears to be the same when changed to -O2, so
update the test to explicitly say -O2 and provide -fno-experimental-new-pass-manager`.

When emitting initializers for local structures for code built with
-ftrivial-auto-var-init, replace constant structures with sequences of
stores.
This appears to greatly help removing dead initialization stores to those
locals that are later overwritten by other data.
This also removes a lot of .rodata constants (see PR40605), replacing most
of them with immediate values (for Linux kernel the .rodata size is
reduced by ~1.9%)
llvm-svn: 355181
When generating initializers for local structures in the
-ftrivial-auto-var-init mode, explicitly wipe the padding bytes with
either 0x00 or 0xAA.
This will allow us to automatically handle the padding when splitting
the initialization stores (see https://reviews.llvm.org/D57898).

Summary:
Add an option to initialize automatic variables with either a pattern or with
zeroes. The default is still that automatic variables are uninitialized. Also
add attributes to request uninitialized on a per-variable basis, mainly to disable
initialization of large stack arrays when deemed too expensive.
This isn't meant to change the semantics of C and C++. Rather, it's meant to be
a last-resort when programmers inadvertently have some undefined behavior in
their code. This patch aims to make undefined behavior hurt less, which
security-minded people will be very happy about. Notably, this means that
there's no inadvertent information leak when:
- The compiler re-uses stack slots, and a value is used uninitialized.
- The compiler re-uses a register, and a value is used uninitialized.
- Stack structs / arrays / unions with padding are copied.
This patch only addresses stack and register information leaks. There's many
more infoleaks that we could address, and much more undefined behavior that
could be tamed. Let's keep this patch focused, and I'm happy to address related
issues elsewhere.
To keep the patch simple, only some `undef` is removed for now, see
`replaceUndef`. The padding-related infoleaks are therefore not all gone yet.
This will be addressed in a follow-up, mainly because addressing padding-related
leaks should be a stand-alone option which is implied by variable
initialization.
There are three options when it comes to automatic variable initialization:
0. Uninitialized
This is C and C++'s default. It's not changing. Depending on code
generation, a programmer who runs into undefined behavior by using an
uninialized automatic variable may observe any previous value (including
program secrets), or any value which the compiler saw fit to materialize on
the stack or in a register (this could be to synthesize an immediate, to
refer to code or data locations, to generate cookies, etc).
1. Pattern initialization
This is the recommended initialization approach. Pattern initialization's
goal is to initialize automatic variables with values which will likely
transform logic bugs into crashes down the line, are easily recognizable in
a crash dump, without being values which programmers can rely on for useful
program semantics. At the same time, pattern initialization tries to
generate code which will optimize well. You'll find the following details in
`patternFor`:
- Integers are initialized with repeated 0xAA bytes (infinite scream).
- Vectors of integers are also initialized with infinite scream.
- Pointers are initialized with infinite scream on 64-bit platforms because
it's an unmappable pointer value on architectures I'm aware of. Pointers
are initialize to 0x000000AA (small scream) on 32-bit platforms because
32-bit platforms don't consistently offer unmappable pages. When they do
it's usually the zero page. As people try this out, I expect that we'll
want to allow different platforms to customize this, let's do so later.
- Vectors of pointers are initialized the same way pointers are.
- Floating point values and vectors are initialized with a negative quiet
NaN with repeated 0xFF payload (e.g. 0xffffffff and 0xffffffffffffffff).
NaNs are nice (here, anways) because they propagate on arithmetic, making
it more likely that entire computations become NaN when a single
uninitialized value sneaks in.
- Arrays are initialized to their homogeneous elements' initialization
value, repeated. Stack-based Variable-Length Arrays (VLAs) are
runtime-initialized to the allocated size (no effort is made for negative
size, but zero-sized VLAs are untouched even if technically undefined).
- Structs are initialized to their heterogeneous element's initialization
values. Zero-size structs are initialized as 0xAA since they're allocated
a single byte.
- Unions are initialized using the initialization for the largest member of
the union.
Expect the values used for pattern initialization to change over time, as we
refine heuristics (both for performance and security). The goal is truly to
avoid injecting semantics into undefined behavior, and we should be
comfortable changing these values when there's a worthwhile point in doing
so.
Why so much infinite scream? Repeated byte patterns tend to be easy to
synthesize on most architectures, and otherwise memset is usually very
efficient. For values which aren't entirely repeated byte patterns, LLVM
will often generate code which does memset + a few stores.
2. Zero initialization
Zero initialize all values. This has the unfortunate side-effect of
providing semantics to otherwise undefined behavior, programs therefore
might start to rely on this behavior, and that's sad. However, some
programmers believe that pattern initialization is too expensive for them,
and data might show that they're right. The only way to make these
programmers wrong is to offer zero-initialization as an option, figure out
where they are right, and optimize the compiler into submission. Until the
compiler provides acceptable performance for all security-minded code, zero
initialization is a useful (if blunt) tool.
I've been asked for a fourth initialization option: user-provided byte value.
This might be useful, and can easily be added later.
Why is an out-of band initialization mecanism desired? We could instead use
-Wuninitialized! Indeed we could, but then we're forcing the programmer to
provide semantics for something which doesn't actually have any (it's
uninitialized!). It's then unclear whether `int derp = 0;` lends meaning to `0`,
or whether it's just there to shut that warning up. It's also way easier to use
a compiler flag than it is to manually and intelligently initialize all values
in a program.
Why not just rely on static analysis? Because it cannot reason about all dynamic
code paths effectively, and it has false positives. It's a great tool, could get
even better, but it's simply incapable of catching all uses of uninitialized
values.
Why not just rely on memory sanitizer? Because it's not universally available,
has a 3x performance cost, and shouldn't be deployed in production. Again, it's
a great tool, it'll find the dynamic uses of uninitialized variables that your
test coverage hits, but it won't find the ones that you encounter in production.
What's the performance like? Not too bad! Previous publications [0] have cited
2.7 to 4.5% averages. We've commmitted a few patches over the last few months to
address specific regressions, both in code size and performance. In all cases,
the optimizations are generally useful, but variable initialization benefits
from them a lot more than regular code does. We've got a handful of other
optimizations in mind, but the code is in good enough shape and has found enough
latent issues that it's a good time to get the change reviewed, checked in, and
have others kick the tires. We'll continue reducing overheads as we try this out
on diverse codebases.
Is it a good idea? Security-minded folks think so, and apparently so does the
Microsoft Visual Studio team [1] who say "Between 2017 and mid 2018, this
feature would have killed 49 MSRC cases that involved uninitialized struct data
leaking across a trust boundary. It would have also mitigated a number of bugs
involving uninitialized struct data being used directly.". They seem to use pure
zero initialization, and claim to have taken the overheads down to within noise.
Don't just trust Microsoft though, here's another relevant person asking for
this [2]. It's been proposed for GCC [3] and LLVM [4] before.
What are the caveats? A few!
- Variables declared in unreachable code, and used later, aren't initialized.
This goto, Duff's device, other objectionable uses of switch. This should
instead be a hard-error in any serious codebase.
- Volatile stack variables are still weird. That's pre-existing, it's really
the language's fault and this patch keeps it weird. We should deprecate
volatile [5].
- As noted above, padding isn't fully handled yet.
I don't think these caveats make the patch untenable because they can be
addressed separately.
Should this be on by default? Maybe, in some circumstances. It's a conversation
we can have when we've tried it out sufficiently, and we're confident that we've
eliminated enough of the overheads that most codebases would want to opt-in.
Let's keep our precious undefined behavior until that point in time.
How do I use it:
1. On the command-line:
-ftrivial-auto-var-init=uninitialized (the default)
-ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern
-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero -enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang
2. Using an attribute:
int dont_initialize_me __attribute((uninitialized));

Summary:
r337887 started using memset for automatic variable initialization where sensible. A follow-up discussion leads me to believe that we should better test automatic variable initialization, and that there are probably follow-up patches in clang and LLVM to improve codegen. It’ll be important to measure -O0 compile time, and figure out which transforms should be in the frontend versus the backend.
This patch is just a test of the current behavior, no questions asked. Follow-up patches will tune the code generation.
