The Win64 unwinder disassembles forwards from each PC to try to
determine if this PC is in an epilogue. If so, it skips calling the EH
personality function for that frame. Typically, this means you cannot
catch an exception in the same frame that you threw it, because 'throw'
calls a noreturn runtime function.
Previously we avoided this problem with the TrapUnreachable
TargetOption, but that's a much bigger hammer than we need. All we need
is a 1 byte non-epilogue instruction right after the call. Instead,
what we got was an unconditional branch to a shared block containing the
ud2, potentially 7 bytes instead of 1. So, this reverts r206684, which
added TrapUnreachable, and replaces it with something better.
The new code pattern matches for invoke/call followed by unreachable and
inserts an int3 into the DAG. To be 100% watertight, we would need to
insert SEH_Epilogue instructions into all basic blocks ending in a call
with no terminators or successors, but in practice this is unlikely to
come up.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

When the last instruction prior to a function epilogue is a call, we
need to emit a nop so that the return address is not in the epilogue IP
range. This is consistent with MSVC's behavior, and may be a workaround
for a bug in the Win64 unwinder.
