This adds assembly and bitcode support for `MDLocation`. The assembly
side is rather big, since this is the first `MDNode` subclass (that
isn't `MDTuple`). Part of PR21433.
(If you're wondering where the mountains of testcase updates are, we
don't need them until I update `DILocation` and `DebugLoc` to actually
use this class.)

Refactor logic so that we know up-front whether to open a block and
whether we need an MDString abbreviation.
This is almost NFC, but will start emitting `MDString` abbreviations
when the first record is not an `MDString`.
llvm-svn: 225712
This reverts commit r225498 (but leaves r225499, which was a worthy
cleanup).
My plan was to change `DEBUG_LOC` to store the `MDNode` directly rather
than its operands (patch was to go out this morning), but on reflection
it's not clear that it's strictly better. (I had missed that the
current code is unlikely to emit the `MDNode` at all.)

Propagate whether `MDNode`s are 'distinct' through the other types of IR
(assembly and bitcode). This adds the `distinct` keyword to assembly.
Currently, no one actually calls `MDNode::getDistinct()`, so these nodes
only get created for:
- self-references, which are never uniqued, and
- nodes whose operands are replaced that hit a uniquing collision.
The concept of distinct nodes is still not quite first-class, since
distinct-ness doesn't yet survive across `MapMetadata()`.

units.
This was debated back and forth a bunch, but using references is now
clearly cleaner. Of all the code written using pointers thus far, in
only one place did it really make more sense to have a pointer. In most
cases, this just removes immediate dereferencing from the code. I think
it is much better to get errors on null IR units earlier, potentially
at compile time, than to delay it.
Most notably, the legacy pass manager uses references for its routines
and so as more and more code works with both, the use of pointers was
likely to become really annoying. I noticed this when I ported the
domtree analysis over and wrote the entire thing with references only to
have it fail to compile. =/ It seemed better to switch now than to
delay. We can, of course, revisit this is we learn that references are
really problematic in the API.

`MDString`s can have arbitrary characters in them. Prevent an assertion
that fired in `BitcodeWriter` because of sign extension by copying the
characters into the record as `unsigned char`s.
Based on a patch by Keno Fischer; fixes PR21882.

This reflects the typelessness of `Metadata` in the bitcode format,
removing types from all metadata operands.
`METADATA_VALUE` represents a `ValueAsMetadata`, and always has two
fields: the type and the value.
`METADATA_NODE` represents an `MDNode`, and unlike `METADATA_OLD_NODE`,
doesn't store types. It stores operands at their ID+1 so that `0` can
reference `nullptr` operands.
Part of PR21532.
llvm-svn: 224073
Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

Patch by Ben Gamari!
This redefines the `prefix` attribute introduced previously and
introduces a `prologue` attribute. There are a two primary usecases
that these attributes aim to serve,
1. Function prologue sigils
2. Function hot-patching: Enable the user to insert `nop` operations
at the beginning of the function which can later be safely replaced
with a call to some instrumentation facility
3. Runtime metadata: Allow a compiler to insert data for use by the
runtime during execution. GHC is one example of a compiler that
needs this functionality for its tables-next-to-code functionality.
Previously `prefix` served cases (1) and (2) quite well by allowing the user
to introduce arbitrary data at the entrypoint but before the function
body. Case (3), however, was poorly handled by this approach as it
required that prefix data was valid executable code.
Here we redefine the notion of prefix data to instead be data which
occurs immediately before the function entrypoint (i.e. the symbol
address). Since prefix data now occurs before the function entrypoint,
there is no need for the data to be valid code.
The previous notion of prefix data now goes under the name "prologue
data" to emphasize its duality with the function epilogue.
The intention here is to handle cases (1) and (2) with prologue data and
case (3) with prefix data.

This idea arose out of discussions[1] with Reid Kleckner in response to a
proposal to introduce the notion of symbol offsets to enable handling of
case (3).

Enumerate `MDNode`'s operands *before* the node itself, so that the

Correctly sort self-users (such as PHI nodes). I added a targeted test
in `test/Bitcode/use-list-order.ll` and the final missing RUN line to
tests in `test/Assembly`.
This is part of PR5680.
llvm-svn: 214417
Since initializers of GlobalValues are being assigned IDs before
GlobalValues themselves, explicitly exclude GlobalValues from the
constant pool. Added targeted test in `test/Bitcode/use-list-order.ll`
and added two more RUN lines in `test/Assembly`.
This is part of PR5680.
llvm-svn: 214368
When predicting use-list order, we visit functions in reverse order
followed by `GlobalValue`s and write out use-lists at the first
opportunity. In the reader, this will translate to *after* the last use
has been added.
For this to work, we actually need to descend into `GlobalValue`s.
Added a targeted test in `use-list-order.ll` and `RUN` lines to the
newly passing tests in `test/Bitcode`.
There are two remaining failures in `test/Bitcode`:
- blockaddress.ll: I haven't thought through how to model the way
block addresses change the order of use-lists (or how to work around
it).
- metadata-2.ll: There's an old-style `@llvm.used` global array here
that I suspect the .ll parser isn't upgrading properly. When it
round-trips through bitcode, the .bc reader *does* upgrade it, so
the extra variable (`i8* null`) has an extra use, and the shuffle
vector doesn't match.
I think the fix is to upgrade old-style global arrays (or reject
them?) in the .ll parser.
This is part of PR5680.

This commit fixes undefined behaviour that caused the revert in r214249.
The problem was two unsequenced operations on a `DenseMap<>`, giving
different behaviour in GCC and Clang. This:
DenseMap<T*, unsigned> DM;
for (auto &X : ...)
DM[&X] = DM.size() + 1;
should have been:
DenseMap<T*, unsigned> DM;
for (auto &X : ...) {
unsigned Size = DM.size();
DM[&X] = Size + 1;
}
Until r214242, this difference between compilers didn't matter. In
r214242, `OrderMap::LastGlobalValueID` was introduced and compared
against IDs, which in GCC were off-by-one my expectations.
llvm-svn: 214270
To avoid unnecessary forward references, the reader doesn't process
initializers of `GlobalValue`s until after the constant pool has been
processed, and then in reverse order. Model this when predicting
use-list order. This gets two more Bitcode tests passing with
`llvm-uselistorder`.
Part of PR5680.
llvm-svn: 214242
Fix the sort of expected order in the reader to correctly return `false`
when comparing a `Use` against itself.
This was caught by test/Bitcode/binaryIntInstructions.3.2.ll, so I'm
adding a `RUN` line using `llvm-uselistorder` for every test in
`test/Bitcode` that passes.
A few tests still fail, so I'll investigate those next.

Predict and serialize use-list order in bitcode. This makes the option
`-preserve-bc-use-list-order` work *most* of the time, but this is still
experimental.
- Builds a full value-table up front in the writer, sets up a list of
use-list orders to write out, and discards the table. This is a
simpler first step than determining the order from the various
overlapping IDs of values on-the-fly.
- The shuffles stored in the use-list order list have an unnecessarily
large memory footprint.
- `blockaddress` expressions cause functions to be materialized
out-of-order. For now I've ignored this problem, so use-list orders
will be wrong for constants used by functions that have block
addresses taken. There are a couple of ways to fix this, but I
don't have a concrete plan yet.
- When materializing functions lazily, the use-lists for constants
will not be correct. This use case is out of scope: what should the
use-list order be, if it's incomplete?
This is part of PR5680.
llvm-svn: 214125
`ValueEnumerator::OptimizeConstants()` creates forward references within
the constant pools, which makes predicting constants' use-list order
difficult. For now, just disable the optimization.
This can be re-enabled in the future in one of two ways:
- Enable a limited version of this optimization that doesn't create
forward references. One idea is to categorize constants by their
"height" and make that the top-level sort.
- Enable it entirely. This requires predicting how may times each
constant will be recreated as its operands' and operands' operands'
(etc.) forward references get resolved.
This is part of PR5680.
llvm-svn: 213953
Add a -verify-use-list-order pass, which shuffles use-list order, writes
to bitcode, reads back, and verifies that the (shuffled) order matches.
- The utility functions live in lib/IR/UseListOrder.cpp.
- Moved (and renamed) the command-line option to enable writing
use-lists, so that this pass can return early if the use-list orders
aren't being serialized.
It's not clear that this pass is the right direction long-term (perhaps
a separate tool instead?), but short-term it's a great way to test the
use-list order prototype. I've added an XFAIL-ed testcase that I'm
hoping to get working pretty quickly.
This is part of PR5680.

This attribute indicates that the parameter or return pointer is
dereferenceable. Practically speaking, loads from such a pointer within the
associated byte range are safe to speculatively execute. Such pointer
parameters are common in source languages (C++ references, for example).
