Sami Tolvanen 2f9ba6aa8b LTO: Export functions referenced by non-canonical CFI jump tables
LowerTypeTests pass adds functions with a non-canonical jump table
to cfiFunctionDecls instead of cfiFunctionDefs. As the jump table
is in the regular LTO object, these functions will also need to be
exported. This change fixes the non-canonical jump table case and
adds a test similar to the existing one for canonical jump tables.

Wei Mi d535a05ca1 [ThinLTO] During module importing, close one source module before open
another one for distributed mode.

Currently during module importing, ThinLTO opens all the source modules,
collect functions to be imported and append them to the destination module,
then leave all the modules open through out the lto backend pipeline. This
patch refactors it in the way that one source module will be closed before
another source module is opened. All the source modules will be closed after
importing phase is done. It will save some amount of memory when there are
many source modules to be imported.

Note that this patch only changes the distributed thinlto mode. For in
process thinlto mode, one source module is shared acorss different thinlto
backend threads so it is not changed in this patch.

Yuanfang Chen b4a8c0ebb6 [LTO][MC] Discard non-prevailing defined symbols in module-level assembly
This is the alternative approach to D96931.

In LTO, for each module with inlineasm block, prepend directive ".lto_discard <sym>, <sym>*" to the beginning of the inline
asm.  ".lto_discard" is both a module inlineasm block marker and (optionally) provides a list of symbols to be discarded.

In MC while emitting for inlineasm, discard symbol binding & symbol
definitions according to ".lto_disard".

Fangrui Song 584cb67d2d [IRSymTab] Set FB_used on llvm.compiler.used symbols
IR symbol table does not parse inline asm. A symbol only referenced by inline
asm is not in the IR symbol table, so LTO does not know that the definition (in
another translation unit) is referenced and may internalize it, even if that
definition has `__attribute__((used))` (which lowers to `llvm.compiler.used` on
ELF targets since D97446).

```
// cabac.c
__attribute__((used)) const uint8_t ff_h264_cabac_tables[...] = {...};

// h264_cabac.c
  asm("lea ff_h264_cabac_tables(%rip), %0" : ...);
```

`__attribute__((used))` is the recommended way to tell the compiler there may
be inline asm references, so the usage is perfectly fine. This patch
conservatively sets the `FB_used` bit on `llvm.compiler.used` symbols to work
around the IR symbol table limitation. Note: before D97446, Clang never emitted
symbols in the `llvm.compiler.used` list, so this change does not punish any
Clang emitted global object.

Without the patch, `ff_h264_cabac_tables` may be assigned to a non-external
partition and get internalized. Then we will get a linker error because the
`cabac.c` definition is not exposed.

Florian Hahn f3a710cade [LTO] Update splitCodeGen to take a reference to the module. (NFC)
splitCodeGen does not need to take ownership of the module, as it
currently clones the original module for each split operation.

There is an ~4 year old fixme to change that, but until this is
addressed, the function can just take a reference to the module.

This makes the transition of LTOCodeGenerator to use LTOBackend a bit
easier, because under some circumstances, LTOCodeGenerator needs to

Fangrui Song 54fb3ca96e [ThinLTO] Add Visibility bits to GlobalValueSummary::GVFlags
Imported functions and variable get the visibility from the module supplying the
definition.  However, non-imported definitions do not get the visibility from
(ELF) the most constraining visibility among all modules (Mach-O) the visibility
of the prevailing definition.

This patch

* adds visibility bits to GlobalValueSummary::GVFlags
* computes the result visibility and propagates it to all definitions

Protected/hidden can imply dso_local which can enable some optimizations (this
is stronger than GVFlags::DSOLocal because the implied dso_local can be
leveraged for ELF -shared while default visibility dso_local has to be cleared
for ELF -shared).

Note: we don't have summaries for declarations, so for ELF if a declaration has
the most constraining visibility, the result visibility may not be that one.

Alexandre Ganea 617d64f6c5 Re-land [ThinLTO] Re-order modules for optimal multi-threaded processing
This reverts 9b5b305023 and fixes the unwanted re-ordering when generating ThinLTO indexes.

The goal of this patch is to better balance thread utilization during ThinLTO in-process linking (in llvm-lto2 or in LLD). Before this patch, large modules would often be scheduled late during execution, taking a long time to complete, thus starving the thread pool.

We now sort modules in descending order, based on each module's bitcode size, so that larger modules are processed first. By doing so, smaller modules have a better chance to keep the thread pool active, and thus avoid starvation when the bitcode compilation is almost complete.

In our case (on dual Intel Xeon Gold 6140, Windows 10 version 2004, two-stage build), this saves 15 sec when linking `clang.exe` with LLD & -flto=thin, /opt:lldltojobs=all, no ThinLTO cache, -DLLVM_INTEGRATED_CRT_ALLOC=d:\git\rpmalloc.

Hongtao Yu 2638aafe12 [LLD][ThinLTO] Add --thinlto-single-module to allow compiling partial modules.
This change introduces an LLD switch --thinlto-single-module to allow compiling only a part of the input modules. This is specifically enables:

  1. Fast investigating/debugging modules of interest without spending time on compiling unrelated modules.
  2. Compiler debug dump with -mllvm -debug-only= for specific modules.

It will be useful for large applications which has 1K+ input modules for thinLTO.

The switch can be combined with `--lto-obj-path=` or `--lto-emit-asm` to obtain intermediate object files or assembly files. So far the module name matching is implemented as a fuzzy name lookup where the modules with name containing the switch value are compiled.

E.g,
Command:
     ld.lld main.o thin.a --thinlto-single-module=thin.a --lto-obj-path=single.o
log:

Alexandre Ganea 09158252f7 [ThinLTO] Allow usage of all hardware threads in the system
Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.

One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.

When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).
When N <= number-of-hardware-threads-on-a-CPU-socket, the threads will remain on the CPU socket where the process started (only on Windows).

Alexandre Ganea 8404aeb56a [Support] On Windows, ensure hardware_concurrency() extends to all CPU sockets and all NUMA groups
The goal of this patch is to maximize CPU utilization on multi-socket or high core count systems, so that parallel computations such as LLD/ThinLTO can use all hardware threads in the system. Before this patch, on Windows, a maximum of 64 hardware threads could be used at most, in some cases dispatched only on one CPU socket.

== Background ==
Windows doesn't have a flat cpu_set_t like Linux. Instead, it projects hardware CPUs (or NUMA nodes) to applications through a concept of "processor groups". A "processor" is the smallest unit of execution on a CPU, that is, an hyper-thread if SMT is active; a core otherwise. There's a limit of 32-bit processors on older 32-bit versions of Windows, which later was raised to 64-processors with 64-bit versions of Windows. This limit comes from the affinity mask, which historically is represented by the sizeof(void*). Consequently, the concept of "processor groups" was introduced for dealing with systems with more than 64 hyper-threads.

By default, the Windows OS assigns only one "processor group" to each starting application, in a round-robin manner. If the application wants to use more processors, it needs to programmatically enable it, by assigning threads to other "processor groups". This also means that affinity cannot cross "processor group" boundaries; one can only specify a "preferred" group on start-up, but the application is free to allocate more groups if it wants to.

This creates a peculiar situation, where newer CPUs like the AMD EPYC 7702P (64-cores, 128-hyperthreads) are projected by the OS as two (2) "processor groups". This means that by default, an application can only use half of the cores. This situation could only get worse in the years to come, as dies with more cores will appear on the market.

== The problem ==
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() API was introduced so that only *one hardware thread per core* was used. Once that API returns, that original intention is lost, only the number of threads is retained. Consider a situation, on Windows, where the system has 2 CPU sockets, 18 cores each, each core having 2 hyper-threads, for a total of 72 hyper-threads. Both heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() and hardware_concurrency() currently return 36, because on Windows they are simply wrappers over std:🧵:hardware_concurrency() -- which can only return processors from the current "processor group".

== The changes in this patch ==
To solve this situation, we capture (and retain) the initial intention until the point of usage, through a new ThreadPoolStrategy class. The number of threads to use is deferred as late as possible, until the moment where the std::threads are created (ThreadPool in the case of ThinLTO).

When using hardware_concurrency(), setting ThreadCount to 0 now means to use all the possible hardware CPU (SMT) threads. Providing a ThreadCount above to the maximum number of threads will have no effect, the maximum will be used instead.
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() is similar to hardware_concurrency(), except that only one thread per hardware *core* will be used.

When LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS is OFF, the threading APIs will always return 1, to ensure any caller loops will be exercised at least once.

Teresa Johnson 59733525d3 [LTO/WPD] Enable aggressive WPD under LTO option
Summary:
Third part in series to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization
Enablement, see RFC here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html

This patch adds type test metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
even for classes without hidden visibility. It then changes WPD to skip
devirtualization for a virtual function call when any of the compatible
vtables has public vcall visibility.

Additionally, internal LLVM options as well as lld and gold-plugin
options are added which enable upgrading all public vcall visibility
to linkage unit (hidden) visibility during LTO. This enables the more
aggressive WPD to kick in based on LTO time knowledge of the visibility
guarantees.

Support was added to all flavors of LTO WPD (regular, hybrid and
index-only), and to both the new and old LTO APIs.

Unfortunately it was not simple to split the first and second parts of
this part of the change (the unconditional emission of type tests and
the upgrading of the vcall visiblity) as I needed a way to upgrade the
public visibility on legacy WPD llvm assembly tests that don't include
linkage unit vcall visibility specifiers, to avoid a lot of test churn.

I also added a mechanism to LowerTypeTests that allows dropping type
test assume sequences we now aggressively insert when we invoke
distributed ThinLTO backends with null indexes, which is used in testing
mode, and which doesn't invoke the normal ThinLTO backend pipeline.

Depends on D71907 and D71911.

Oliver Stannard 3b598b9c86 Reland: Dead Virtual Function Elimination
Remove dead virtual functions from vtables with
replaceNonMetadataUsesWith, so that CGProfile metadata gets cleaned up
correctly.

Original commit message:

Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual
functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced
by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live
code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there
are no call sites which can use it.

This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and
regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match
virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This
information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead
of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately
determine which functions are reachable.

To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to
always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load
intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing
this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test
and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible
for optimisations to obscure the relationship between the GEP, load and
llvm.type.test, causing GlobalDCE to fail to find virtual function call
sites.

The existing linkage and visibility types don't accurately describe the scope
in which a virtual call could be made which uses a given vtable. This is
wider than the visibility of the type itself, because a virtual function call
could be made using a more-visible base class. I've added a new
!vcall_visibility metadata type to represent this, described in
TypeMetadata.rst. The internalization pass and libLTO have been updated to
change this metadata when linking is performed.

This doesn't currently work with ThinLTO, because it needs to see every call
to llvm.type.checked.load in the linkage unit. It might be possible to
extend this optimisation to be able to use the ThinLTO summary, as was done
for devirtualization, but until then that combination is rejected in the
clang driver.

To test this, I've written a fuzzer which generates random C++ programs with
complex class inheritance graphs, and virtual functions called through object
and function pointers of different types. The programs are spread across
multiple translation units and DSOs to test the different visibility
restrictions.

I've also tried doing bootstrap builds of LLVM to test this. This isn't
ideal, because only classes in anonymous namespaces can be optimised with
-fvisibility=default, and some parts of LLVM (plugins and bugpoint) do not
work correctly with -fvisibility=hidden. However, there are only 12 test
failures when building with -fvisibility=hidden (and an unmodified compiler),
and this change does not cause any new failures for either value of
-fvisibility.

On the 7 C++ sub-benchmarks of SPEC2006, this gives a geomean code-size
reduction of ~6%, over a baseline compiled with "-O2 -flto
-fvisibility=hidden -fwhole-program-vtables". The best cases are reductions
of ~14% in 450.soplex and 483.xalancbmk, and there are no code size
increases.

I've also run this on a set of 8 mbed-os examples compiled for Armv7M, which
show a geomean size reduction of ~3%, again with no size increases.

I had hoped that this would have no effect on performance, which would allow
it to awlays be enabled (when using -fwhole-program-vtables). However, the
changes in clang to use the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic are causing ~1%
performance regression in the C++ parts of SPEC2006. It should be possible to
recover some of this perf loss by teaching optimisations about the
llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, which would make it worth turning this on
by default (though it's still dependent on -fwhole-program-vtables).

Oliver Stannard 9f6a873268 Dead Virtual Function Elimination
Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual
functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced
by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live
code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there
are no call sites which can use it.

This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and
regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match
virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This
information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead
of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately
determine which functions are reachable.

To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to
always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load
intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing
this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test
and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible

Teresa Johnson 077cc3fcb0 [ThinLTO/WPD] Ensure devirtualized targets use promoted symbol when necessary
Summary:
This fixes a hole in the handling of devirtualized targets that were
local but need promoting due to devirtualization in another module. We
were not correctly referencing the promoted symbol in some cases. Make
sure the code that updates the name also looks at the ExportedGUIDs set
by utilizing a callback that checks all conditions (the callback
utilized by the internalization/promotion code).

Steven Wu 34d80461ff [LTO][Legacy] Add new C inferface to query libcall functions
Summary:
This is needed to implemented the same approach as lld (implemented in r338434)
for how to handling symbols that can be generated by LTO code generator
but not present in the symbol table for linker that uses legacy C APIs.

libLTO is in charge of providing the list of symbols. Linker is in
charge of implementing the eager loading from static libraries using
the list of symbols.

Teresa Johnson ea314fd476 [ThinLTO] Fix handling of weak interposable symbols
Summary:
Keep aliasees alive if their alias is live, otherwise we end up with an
alias to a declaration, which is invalid. This can happen when the
aliasee is weak and non-prevailing.

This fix exposed the fact that we were then attempting to internalize
the weak symbol, which was not exported as it was not prevailing. We
should not internalize interposable symbols in general, unless this is
the prevailing copy, since it can lead to incorrect inlining and other
optimizations. Most of the changes in this patch are due to the
restructuring required to pass down the prevailing callback.

Finally, while implementing the test cases, I found that in the case of
a weak aliasee that is still marked not live because its alias isn't
live, after dropping the definition we incorrectly marked the
declaration with weak linkage when resolving prevailing symbols in the
module. This was due to some special case handling for symbols marked
WeakLinkage in the summary located before instead of after a subsequent
check for the symbol being a declaration. It turns out that we don't
actually need this special case handling any more (looking back at the
history, when that was added the code was structured quite differently)
- we will correctly mark with weak linkage further below when the
definition hasn't been dropped.

Fixes PR42542.
