`CodeGenPassBuilder` is the NPM counterpart of `TargetPassConfig` with below differences.
- Debugging features (MIR print/verify, disable pass, start/stop-before/after, etc.) living in `TargetPassConfig` are moved to use PassInstrument as much as possible. (Implementation also lives in `TargetPassConfig.cpp`)
- `TargetPassConfig` is a polymorphic base (virtual inheritance) to build the target-dependent pipeline whereas `CodeGenPassBuilder` is the CRTP base/helper to implement the target-dependent pipeline. The motivation is flexibility for targets to customize the pipeline, inlining opportunity, and fits the overall NPM value semantics design.
- `TargetPassConfig` is a legacy immutable pass to declare hooks for targets to customize some target-independent codegen layer behavior. This is partially ported to TargetMachine::options. The rest, such as `createMachineScheduler/createPostMachineScheduler`, are left out for now. They should be implemented in LLVMTargetMachine in the future.

ScalarizeMaskedMemIntrinsic is currently a codeGen level pass. The pass
is actually operating on IR level and does not use any code gen specific
passes. It is useful to move it into transforms directory so that it
can be more widely used as a mid-level transform as well (apart from
usage in codegen pipeline).
In particular, we have a usecase downstream where we would like to use
this pass in our mid-level pipeline which operates on IR level.
The next change will be to add support for new PM.

An indirect call site needs to be probed for its potential call targets. With CSSPGO a direct call also needs a probe so that a calling context can be represented by a stack of callsite probes. Unlike pseudo probes for basic blocks that are in form of standalone intrinsic call instructions, pseudo probes for callsites have to be attached to the call instruction, thus a separate instruction would not work.
One possible way of attaching a probe to a call instruction is to use a special metadata that carries information about the probe. The special metadata will have to make its way through the optimization pipeline down to object emission. This requires additional efforts to maintain the metadata in various places. Given that the `!dbg` metadata is a first-class metadata and has all essential support in place , leveraging the `!dbg` metadata as a channel to encode pseudo probe information is probably the easiest solution.
With the requirement of not inflating `!dbg` metadata that is allocated for almost every instruction, we found that the 32-bit DWARF discriminator field which mainly serves AutoFDO can be reused for pseudo probes. DWARF discriminators distinguish identical source locations between instructions and with pseudo probes such support is not required. In this change we are using the discriminator field to encode the ID and type of a callsite probe and the encoded value will be unpacked and consumed right before object emission. When a callsite is inlined, the callsite discriminator field will go with the inlined instructions. The `!dbg` metadata of an inlined instruction is in form of a scope stack. The top of the stack is the instruction's original `!dbg` metadata and the bottom of the stack is for the original callsite of the top-level inliner. Except for the top of the stack, all other elements of the stack actually refer to the nested inlined callsites whose discriminator field (which actually represents a calliste probe) can be used together to represent the inline context of an inlined PseudoProbeInst or CallInst.
To avoid collision with the baseline AutoFDO in various places that handles dwarf discriminators where a check against the `-pseudo-probe-for-profiling` switch is not available, a special encoding scheme is used to tell apart a pseudo probe discriminator from a regular discriminator. For the regular discriminator, if all lowest 3 bits are non-zero, it means the discriminator is basically empty and all higher 29 bits can be reversed for pseudo probe use.
Callsite pseudo probes are inserted in `SampleProfileProbePass` and a target-independent MIR pass `PseudoProbeInserter` is added to unpack the probe ID/type from `!dbg`.
Note that with this work the switch -debug-info-for-profiling will not work with -pseudo-probe-for-profiling anymore. They cannot be used at the same time.

The CfgTraits abstraction simplfies writing algorithms that are
generic over the type of CFG, and enables writing such algorithms
as regular non-template code that operates on opaque references
to CFG blocks and values.
Implementations of CfgTraits provide operations on the concrete
CFG types, e.g. `IrCfgTraits::BlockRef` is `BasicBlock *`.
CfgInterface is an abstract base class which provides operations
on opaque types CfgBlockRef and CfgValueRef. Those opaque types
encapsulate a `void *`, but the meaning depends on the concrete
CFG type. For example, MachineCfgTraits -- for use with MachineIR
in SSA form -- encodes a Register inside CfgValueRef. Converting
between concrete references and opaque/generic ones is done by
CfgTraits::{fromGeneric,toGeneric}. Convenience methods
CfgTraits::{un}wrap{Iterator,Range} are available as well.
Writing algorithms in terms of CfgInterface adds some overhead
(virtual method calls, plus in same cases it removes the
opportunity to inline iterators), but can be much more convenient
since generic algorithms can be written as non-templates.
This patch adds implementations of CfgTraits for all CFGs on
which dominator trees are calculated, so that the dominator
tree can be ported to this machinery. Only IrCfgTraits (LLVM IR)
and MachineCfgTraits (Machine IR in SSA form) are complete, the
other implementations are limited to the absolute minimum
required to make the upcoming dominator tree changes work.

introduced in LLVM from the Propeller project. The pass targets
functions with profile coverage, identifies cold blocks and moves them
to a separate section. The linker groups all cold blocks across
functions together, decreasing fragmentation and improving icache and
itlb utilization.
We evaluated the Machine Function Splitter pass on clang bootstrap and
SPECInt 2017.
For clang bootstrap we observe a mean 2.33% runtime improvement with a
~32% reduction in itlb and stlb misses. Additionally, L1 icache misses
reduced by 9.5% while L2 instruction misses reduced by 20%.
For SPECInt we report the change in IntRate the C/C++

This patch imports the instruction-referencing implementation of
LiveDebugValues proposed here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-June/142368.html
The new implementation is unreachable in this patch, it's the next patch
that enables it behind a command line switch. Briefly, rather than
tracking variable locations by just their location as the 'VarLoc'
implementation does, this implementation does it by value:
* Each value defined in a function is numbered, and propagated through
dataflow,
* Each DBG_VALUE reads a machine value number from a machine location,
* Variable _values_ are propagated through dataflow,
* Variable values are translated back into locations, DBG_VALUEs
inserted to specify where those locations are.
The ultimate aim of this is to enable referring to variable values
throughout post-isel code, rather than locations. Those patches will
build on top of this new LiveDebugValues implementation in later patches
-- it can't be done with the VarLoc implementation as we don't have
value information, only locations.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D83047
This patch renames the current LiveDebugValues class to "VarLocBasedLDV"
and removes the pass-registration code from it. It creates a separate
LiveDebugValues class that deals with pass registration and management,
that calls through to VarLocBasedLDV::ExtendRanges when
runOnMachineFunction is called. This is done through the "LDVImpl"
abstract class, so that a future patch can install the new
instruction-referencing LiveDebugValues implementation and have it
picked at runtime.
No functional change is intended, just shuffling responsibilities.

live ranges in a generic way. This class should deal only with
SlotIndices and VNInfo objects.
- LiveIntervalCals - is meant to be equivalent to the old LiveRangeCalc.
It computes the liveness virtual registers tracked by a LiveInterval
object.
With this refactoring LiveRangeCalc can be used to implement tracking of
liveness of LiveRanges that represent other things than just registers.

Summary:
Re-used the IR-level debugify for the most part. The MIR-level code then
adds locations to the MachineInstrs afterwards based on the LLVM-IR debug
info.
It's worth mentioning that the resulting locations make little sense as
the range of line numbers used in a Function at the MIR level exceeds that
of the equivelent IR level function. As such, MachineInstrs can appear to
originate from outside the subprogram scope (and from other subprogram
scopes). However, it doesn't seem worth worrying about as the source is
imaginary anyway.
There's a few high level goals this pass works towards:
* We should be able to debugify our .ll/.mir in the lit tests without
changing the checks and still pass them. I.e. Debug info should not change
codegen. Combining this with a strip-debug pass should enable this. The
main issue I ran into without the strip-debug pass was instructions with MMO's and
checks on both the instruction and the MMO as the debug-location is
between them. I currently have a simple hack in the MIRPrinter to
resolve that but the more general solution is a proper strip-debug pass.
* We should be able to test that GlobalISel does not lose debug info. I
recently found that the legalizer can be unexpectedly lossy in seemingly
simple cases (e.g. expanding one instr into many). I have a verifier
(will be posted separately) that can be integrated with passes that use
the observer interface and will catch location loss (it does not verify
correctness, just that there's zero lossage). It is a little conservative
as the line-0 locations that arise from conflicts do not track the
conflicting locations but it can still catch a fair bit.

MCTargetOptionsCommandFlags.inc and CommandFlags.inc are headers which contain
cl::opt with static storage.
These headers are meant to be incuded by tools to make it easier to parametrize
codegen/mc.
However, these headers are also included in at least two libraries: lldCommon
and handle-llvm. As a result, when creating DYLIB, clang-cpp holds a reference
to the options, and lldCommon holds another reference. Linking the two in a
single executable, as zig does[0], results in a double registration.
This patch explores an other approach: the .inc files are moved to regular
files, and the registration happens on-demand through static declaration of
options in the constructor of a static object.

Summary:
Most libraries are defined in the lib/ directory but there are also a
few libraries defined in tools/ e.g. libLLVM, libLTO. I'm defining
"Component Libraries" as libraries defined in lib/ that may be included in
libLLVM.so. Explicitly marking the libraries in lib/ as component
libraries allows us to remove some fragile checks that attempt to
differentiate between lib/ libraries and tools/ libraires:
1. In tools/llvm-shlib, because
llvm_map_components_to_libnames(LIB_NAMES "all") returned a list of
all libraries defined in the whole project, there was custom code
needed to filter out libraries defined in tools/, none of which should
be included in libLLVM.so. This code assumed that any library
defined as static was from lib/ and everything else should be
excluded.
With this change, llvm_map_components_to_libnames(LIB_NAMES, "all")
only returns libraries that have been added to the LLVM_COMPONENT_LIBS
global cmake property, so this custom filtering logic can be removed.
Doing this also fixes the build with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
and LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON.
2. There was some code in llvm_add_library that assumed that
libraries defined in lib/ would not have LLVM_LINK_COMPONENTS or
ARG_LINK_COMPONENTS set. This is only true because libraries
defined lib lib/ use LLVMBuild.txt and don't set these values.
This code has been fixed now to check if the library has been
explicitly marked as a component library, which should now make it
easier to remove LLVMBuild at some point in the future.
I have tested this patch on Windows, MacOS and Linux with release builds
and the following combinations of CMake options:
- "" (No options)
- -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON
- -DLLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON
- -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
- -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON

Summary:
This extends the PeelingModuloScheduleExpander to generate prolog and epilog code,
and correctly stitch uses through the prolog, kernel, epilog DAG.
The key concept in this patch is to ensure that all transforms are *local*; only a
function of a block and its immediate predecessor and successor. By defining the problem in this way
we can inductively rewrite the entire DAG using only local knowledge that is easy to
reason about.
For example, we assume that all prologs and epilogs are near-perfect clones of the
steady-state kernel. This means that if a block has an instruction that is predicated out,
we can redirect all users of that instruction to that equivalent instruction in our
immediate predecessor. As all blocks are clones, every instruction must have an equivalent in
every other block.
Similarly we can make the assumption by construction that if a value defined in a block is used
outside that block, the only possible user is its immediate successors. We maintain this
even for values that are used outside the loop by creating a limited form of LCSSA.
This code isn't small, but it isn't complex.
Enabled a bunch of testing from Hexagon. There are a couple of tests not enabled yet;
I'm about 80% sure there isn't buggy codegen but the tests are checking for patterns
that we don't produce. Those still need a bit more investigation. In the meantime we
(Google) are happy with the code produced by this on our downstream SMS implementation,
and believe it generates correct code.
