We found a case in the Swift benchmarks where the MachineOutliner introduces
about a 20% compile time overhead in comparison to building without the
MachineOutliner.
The origin of this slowdown is that the benchmark has long blocks which incur
lots of LRU checks for lots of candidates.
Imagine a case like this:
```
bb:
i1
i2
i3
...
i123456
```
Now imagine that all of the outlining candidates appear early in the block, and
that something like, say, NZCV is defined at the end of the block.
The outliner has to check liveness for certain registers across all candidates,
because outlining from areas where those registers are used is unsafe at call
boundaries.
This is fairly wasteful because in the previously-described case, the outlining
candidates will never appear in an area where those registers are live.
To avoid this, precalculate areas where we will consider outlining from.
Anything outside of these areas is mapped to illegal and not included in the
outlining search space. This allows us to reduce the size of the outliner's
suffix tree as well, giving us a potential memory win.
By precalculating areas, we can also optimize other checks too, like whether
or not LR is live across an outlining candidate.
Doing all of this is about a 16% compile time improvement on the case.
This is likely useful for other targets (e.g. ARM + RISCV) as well, but for now,
this only implements the AArch64 path. The original "is the MBB safe" method
still works as before.
Useful for debugging + evaluating improvements to the outliner.
Stats are the number of illegal, legal, and invisible instructions in the
unsigned vector, and it's total length.
We have the `clang -cc1` command-line option `-funwind-tables=1|2` and
the codegen option `VALUE_CODEGENOPT(UnwindTables, 2, 0) ///< Unwind
tables (1) or asynchronous unwind tables (2)`. However, this is
encoded in LLVM IR by the presence or the absence of the `uwtable`
attribute, i.e. we lose the information whether to generate want just
some unwind tables or asynchronous unwind tables.
Asynchronous unwind tables take more space in the runtime image, I'd
estimate something like 80-90% more, as the difference is adding
roughly the same number of CFI directives as for prologues, only a bit
simpler (e.g. `.cfi_offset reg, off` vs. `.cfi_restore reg`). Or even
more, if you consider tail duplication of epilogue blocks.
Asynchronous unwind tables could also restrict code generation to
having only a finite number of frame pointer adjustments (an example
of *not* having a finite number of `SP` adjustments is on AArch64 when
untagging the stack (MTE) in some cases the compiler can modify `SP`
in a loop).
Having the CFI precise up to an instruction generally also means one
cannot bundle together CFI instructions once the prologue is done,
they need to be interspersed with ordinary instructions, which means
extra `DW_CFA_advance_loc` commands, further increasing the unwind
tables size.
That is to say, async unwind tables impose a non-negligible overhead,
yet for the most common use cases (like C++ exceptions), they are not
even needed.
This patch extends the `uwtable` attribute with an optional
value:
- `uwtable` (default to `async`)
- `uwtable(sync)`, synchronous unwind tables
- `uwtable(async)`, asynchronous (instruction precise) unwind tables

This patch implements a new MachineFunction in the ARM backend for
placing BTI instructions. It is similar to the existing AArch64
aarch64-branch-targets pass.
BTI instructions are inserted into basic blocks that:
- Have their address taken
- Are the entry block of a function, if the function has external
linkage or has its address taken
- Are mentioned in jump tables
- Are exception/cleanup landing pads
Each BTI instructions is placed in the beginning of a BB after the
so-called meta instructions (e.g. exception handler labels).
Each outlining candidate and the outlined function need to be in agreement about
whether BTI placement is enabled or not. If branch target enforcement is
disabled for a function, the outliner should not covertly enable it by emitting
a call to an outlined function, which begins with BTI.
The cost mode of the outliner is adjusted to account for the extra BTI
instructions in the outlined function.
The ARM Constant Islands pass will maintain the count of the jump tables, which
reference a block. A `BTI` instruction is removed from a block only if the
reference count reaches zero.
PAC instructions in entry blocks are replaced with PACBTI instructions (tests
for this case will be added in a later patch because the compiler currently does
not generate PAC instructions).
The ARM Constant Island pass is adjusted to handle BTI
instructions correctly.
Functions with static linkage that don't have their address taken can
still be called indirectly by linker-generated veneers and thus their
entry points need be marked with BTI or PACBTI.
The changes are tested using "LLVM IR -> assembly" tests, jump tables
also have a MIR test. Unfortunately it is not possible add MIR tests
for exception handling and computed gotos because of MIR parser
limitations.
This patch is part of a series that adds support for the PACBTI-M extension of
the Armv8.1-M architecture, as detailed here:

The debug location is removed from any outlined instruction. This
causes the MachineVerifier to crash on outlined DBG_VALUE
instructions.
Then, debug instructions are "invisible" to the outliner, that is, two
ranges of instructions from different functions are considered
identical if the only difference is debug instructions. Since a debug
instruction from one function is unlikely to provide sensible debug
information about all functions, sharing an outlined sequence, this
patch just removes debug instructions from the outlined functions.

We only need to include MachineInstrBundle.h, but exposes an implicit dependency in MachineOutliner.h.
Also, remove duplicate includes from LiveRegUnits.cpp + MachineOutliner.cpp.

Prior to D69446 I had done some NFC cleanup to make landing an iterative
outliner a cleaner more straight-forward patch. Since then, it seems that has
landed but I noticed some ways it could be cleaned up. Specifically:
1) doOutline was meant to be the re-runable function, but instead
runOnceOnModule was created that just calls doOutline.
2) In D69446 we discussed that the flag allowing the re-run of the
outliner should be a flag to tell how many additional times to run
the outliner again, not the total number of times. I don't think it
makes sense to introduce a flag, but print an error if the flag is
set to 0.
This is an NFCi, the i being that I get rid of the way that the
machine-outline-runs flag could be used to tell the outliner to not run
at all, and because I renamed the flag to '-machine-outliner-reruns'.

Summary: The following change is to allow the machine outlining can be applied for Nth times, where N is specified by the compiler option. By default the value of N is 1. The motivation is that the repeated machine outlining can further reduce code size.

This is how it should've been and brings it more in line with
std::string_view. There should be no functional change here.
This is mostly mechanical from a custom clang-tidy check, with a lot of
manual fixups. It uncovers a lot of minor inefficiencies.
This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
Conservatively always save + restore LR in noreturn functions.
These functions do not end in a RET, and so they aren't guaranteed to have an
instruction which uses LR in any way. So, as a result, you can end up in
unfortunate situations where you can't backtrace out of these functions in a
debugger.
Remove the old noreturn test, and add a new one which is more descriptive.
Remove the restriction that we can't outline from noreturn functions as well
since we now do the right thing.
Having this function be recursive could use up way too much stack space.
Rewrite it as an iterative traversal in the tree instead to prevent this.
Fixes PR44344.

Outlining from noreturn functions doesn't do the correct thing right now. The
outliner should respect that the caller is marked noreturn. In the event that
we have a noreturn function, and the outlined code is in tail position, the
outliner will not see that the outlined function should be tail called. As a
result, you end up with a regular call containing a return.
Fixing this requires that we check that all candidates live inside noreturn
functions. So, for the sake of correctness, don't outline from noreturn
functions right now.
Add machine-outliner-noreturn.mir to test this.

Recommit r352791 after tweaking DerivedTypes.h slightly, so that gcc
doesn't choke on it, hopefully.
Original Message:
The FunctionCallee type is effectively a {FunctionType*,Value*} pair,
and is a useful convenience to enable code to continue passing the
result of getOrInsertFunction() through to EmitCall, even once pointer
types lose their pointee-type.
Then:
- update the CallInst/InvokeInst instruction creation functions to
take a Callee,
- modify getOrInsertFunction to return FunctionCallee, and
- update all callers appropriately.
One area of particular note is the change to the sanitizer
code. Previously, they had been casting the result of
`getOrInsertFunction` to a `Function*` via
`checkSanitizerInterfaceFunction`, and storing that. That would report
an error if someone had already inserted a function declaraction with
a mismatching signature.
However, in general, LLVM allows for such mismatches, as
`getOrInsertFunction` will automatically insert a bitcast if
needed. As part of this cleanup, cause the sanitizer code to do the
same. (It will call its functions using the expected signature,
however they may have been declared.)
Finally, in a small number of locations, callers of
`getOrInsertFunction` actually were expecting/requiring that a brand
new function was being created. In such cases, I've switched them to
Function::Create instead.

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
