or claimRV calls in the IR
Background:
This patch makes changes to the front-end and middle-end that are
needed to fix a longstanding problem where llvm breaks ARC's autorelease
optimization (see the link below) by separating calls from the marker
instructions or retainRV/claimRV calls. The backend changes are in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D92569.
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html#arc-runtime-objc-autoreleasereturnvalue
What this patch does to fix the problem:
- The front-end annotates calls with attribute "clang.arc.rv"="retain"
or "clang.arc.rv"="claim", which indicates the call is implicitly
followed by a marker instruction and a retainRV/claimRV call that
consumes the call result. This is currently done only when the target
is arm64 and the optimization level is higher than -O0.
- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the
annotated calls in the IR and removes the inserted calls after
processing the function.
- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the annotated
calls. It doesn't remove the attribute on the call since the backend
needs it to emit the marker instruction. The retainRV/claimRV calls
are emitted late in the pipeline to prevent optimization passes from
transforming the IR in a way that makes it harder for the ARC
middle-end passes to figure out the def-use relationship between the
call and the retainRV/claimRV calls (which is the cause of PR31925).
- The function inliner removes the autoreleaseRV call in the callee that
returns the result if nothing in the callee prevents it from being
paired up with the calls annotated with "clang.arc.rv"="retain/claim"
in the caller. If the call is annotated with "claim", a release call
is inserted since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is equivalent to a release. If
it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it tries to transfer the
attributes to a function call in the callee. This is important since
ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV call returning the callee
result, which makes it impossible to pair it up with the retainRV or
claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply emits a retain
call in the IR if the call is annotated with "retain" and does nothing
if it's annotated with "claim".
- This patch teaches dead argument elimination pass not to change the
return type of a function if any of the calls to the function are
annotated with attribute "clang.arc.rv". This is necessary since the
pass can incorrectly determine nothing in the IR uses the function
return, which can happen since the front-end no longer explicitly
emits retainRV/claimRV calls in the IR, and change its return type to
'void'.
Future work:
- Use the attribute on x86-64.
- Fix the auto upgrader to convert call+retainRV/claimRV pairs into
calls annotated with the attributes.

In the PPC32 SVR4 ABI, a va_list has copies of registers from the function call.
va_arg looked in the wrong registers for (the pointer representation of) an
object in Objective-C, and for some types in C++. Fix va_arg to look in the
general-purpose registers, not the floating-point registers. Also fix va_arg
for some C++ types, like a member function pointer, that are aggregates for
the ABI.
Anthony Richardby found the problem in Objective-C. Eli Friedman suggested
part of this fix.

This patch fixes a bug in emitARCOperationAfterCall where it inserts the
fall-back call after a bitcast instruction and then replaces the
bitcast's operand with the result of the fall-back call. The generated
IR without this patch looks like this:
msgSend.call: ; preds = %entry
%call = call i8* bitcast (i8* (i8*, i8*, ...)* @objc_msgSend
br label %msgSend.cont
msgSend.null-receiver: ; preds = %entry
call void @llvm.objc.release(i8* %4)
br label %msgSend.cont
msgSend.cont:
%8 = phi i8* [ %call, %msgSend.call ], [ null, %msgSend.null-receiver ]
%9 = bitcast i8* %10 to %0*
%10 = call i8* @llvm.objc.retain(i8* %8)
Notice that `%9 = bitcast i8* %10` to %0* is taking operand %10 which is
defined after it.
To fix the bug, this patch modifies the insert point to point to the
bitcast instruction so that the fall-back call is inserted before the
bitcast. In addition, it teaches the function to look at phi
instructions that are generated when there is a check for a null
receiver and insert the retainRV/claimRV instruction right after the
call instead of inserting a fall-back call right after the phi
instruction.

For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
For a definition (of most linkage types), dso_local is set for ELF -fno-pic/-fpie
and COFF, but not for Mach-O. This nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
This patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `
if there is an explicit linkage.
* Clang will set dso_local for Mach-O, which is currently implied by TargetMachine.cpp. This will make COFF/Mach-O and executable ELF similar.
* Eventually I hope we can make dso_local the textual LLVM IR default (write explicit "dso_preemptable" when applicable) and -fpic ELF will be similar to everything else. This patch helps move toward that goal.

chain for ObjCInterfaceDecls.
Only one such declaration can actually have attributes (the definition,
if any), but generally we assume that we can look for InheritedAttrs on
the most recent declaration.
Summary:
Motivated by the new objc_direct attribute, this change adds a new
attribute that remotes metadata from Protocols that the programmer knows
isn't going to be used at runtime. We simply have the frontend skip
generating any protocol metadata entries (e.g. OBJC_CLASS_NAME,
_OBJC_$_PROTOCOL_INSTANCE_METHDOS, _OBJC_PROTOCOL, etc) for a protocol
marked with `__attribute__((objc_non_runtime_protocol))`.
There are a few APIs used to retrieve a protocol at runtime.
`@protocol(SomeProtocol)` will now error out of the requested protocol
is marked with attribute. `objc_getProtocol` will return `NULL` which
is consistent with the behavior of a non-existing protocol.

There appears to be a mis-compile with MemorySSA-backed DSE in

After the recent discussion on cfe-dev 'Can indirect class parameters be
noalias?' [1], it seems like using using noalias is problematic for
current C++, but should be allowed for C-only code.
This patch introduces a new option to let the user indicate that it is
safe to mark indirect class parameters as noalias. Note that this also
applies to external callers, e.g. it might not be safe to use this flag
for C functions that are called by C++ functions.
In targets that allocate indirect arguments in the called function, this
enables more agressive optimizations with respect to memory operations
and brings a ~1% - 2% codesize reduction for some programs.

The tests have been updated and I plan to move them from the MSSA
directory up.
Some end-to-end tests needed small adjustments. One difference to the
legacy DSE is that legacy DSE also deletes trivially dead instructions
that are unrelated to memory operations. Because MemorySSA-backed DSE
just walks the MemorySSA, we only visit/check memory instructions. But
removing unrelated dead instructions is not really DSE's job and other
passes will clean up.
One noteworthy change is in llvm/test/Transforms/Coroutines/ArgAddr.ll,
but I think this comes down to legacy DSE not handling instructions that
may throw correctly in that case. To cover this with MemorySSA-backed
DSE, we need an update to llvm.coro.begin to treat it's return value to
belong to the same underlying object as the passed pointer.
There are some minor cases MemorySSA-backed DSE currently misses, e.g. related
to atomic operations, but I think those can be implemented after the switch.

This patch implements matrix index expressions
(matrix[RowIdx][ColumnIdx]).
It does so by introducing a new MatrixSubscriptExpr(Base, RowIdx, ColumnIdx).
MatrixSubscriptExprs are built in 2 steps in ActOnMatrixSubscriptExpr. First,
if the base of a subscript is of matrix type, we create a incomplete
MatrixSubscriptExpr(base, idx, nullptr). Second, if the base is an incomplete
MatrixSubscriptExpr, we create a complete
MatrixSubscriptExpr(base->getBase(), base->getRowIdx(), idx)
Similar to vector elements, it is not possible to take the address of
a MatrixSubscriptExpr.
For CodeGen, a new MatrixElt type is added to LValue, which is very
similar to VectorElt. The only difference is that we may need to cast
the type of the base from an array to a vector type when accessing it.
