It's currently ambiguous in IR whether the source language explicitly
did not want a stack a stack protector (in C, via function attribute
no_stack_protector) or doesn't care for any given function.
It's common for code that manipulates the stack via inline assembly or
that has to set up its own stack canary (such as the Linux kernel) would
like to avoid stack protectors in certain functions. In this case, we've
been bitten by numerous bugs where a callee with a stack protector is
inlined into an __attribute__((__no_stack_protector__)) caller, which
generally breaks the caller's assumptions about not having a stack
protector. LTO exacerbates the issue.
While developers can avoid this by putting all no_stack_protector
functions in one translation unit together and compiling those with
-fno-stack-protector, it's generally not very ergonomic or as
ergonomic as a function attribute, and still doesn't work for LTO. See also:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20200915172658.1432732-1-rkir@google.com/https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200918201436.2932360-30-samitolvanen@google.com/T/#u
Typically, when inlining a callee into a caller, the caller will be
upgraded in its level of stack protection (see adjustCallerSSPLevel()).
By adding an explicit attribute in the IR when the function attribute is
used in the source language, we can now identify such cases and prevent
inlining. Block inlining when the callee and caller differ in the case that one
contains `nossp` when the other has `ssp`, `sspstrong`, or `sspreq`.

The devirtualization wrapper misses cases where if it wraps a pass
manager, an individual pass may devirtualize an indirect call created by
a previous pass. For example, inlining may create a new indirect call
which is devirtualized by instcombine. Currently the devirtualization
wrapper will not see that because it only checks cgscc edges at the very
beginning and end of the pass (manager) it wraps.
This fixes some tests testing this exact behavior in the legacy PM.
This piggybacks off of updateCGAndAnalysisManagerForPass()'s detection
of promoted ref to call edges.
This supercedes one of the previous mechanisms to detect
devirtualization by keeping track of potentially promoted call
instructions via WeakTrackingVHs.
There is one more existing way of detecting devirtualization, by
checking if the number of indirect calls has decreased and the number of
direct calls has increased in a function. It handles cases where calls
to functions without definitions are promoted, and some tests rely on
that. LazyCallGraph doesn't track edges to functions without
definitions so this part can't be removed in this change.
check-llvm and check-clang with -abort-on-max-devirt-iterations-reached
on by default doesn't show any failures outside of tests specifically
testing it so it doesn't needlessly rerun passes more than necessary.
(The NPM -O2/3 pipeline run the inliner/function simplification pipeline
under a devirtualization repeater pass up to 4 times by default).

Different training algorithms may produce models that, besides the main

that are necessary for the next training stage. To facilitate this, in
development mode, we require the training policy infrastructure produce
a description of the outputs that are interesting to it, in the form of
a JSON file. We special-case the first entry in the JSON file as the
inlining decision - we care about its value, so we can guide inlining
during training - but treat the rest as opaque data that we just copy
over to the training log.

Summary:
This is the InlineAdvisor used in 'development' mode. It enables two
scenarios:
- loading models via a command-line parameter, thus allowing for rapid
training iteration, where models can be used for the next exploration
phase without requiring recompiling the compiler. This trades off some
compilation speed for the added flexibility.
- collecting training logs, in the form of tensorflow.SequenceExample
protobufs. We generate these as textual protobufs, which simplifies
generation and testing. The protobufs may then be readily consumed by a
tensorflow-based training algorithm.
To speed up training, training logs may also be collected from the
'default' training policy. In that case, this InlineAdvisor does not
use a model.

This allows tracking the in-memory type of a pointer argument to a
function for ABI purposes. This is essentially a stripped down version
of byval to remove some of the stack-copy implications in its
definition.
This includes the base IR changes, and some tests for places where it
should be treated similarly to byval. Codegen support will be in a
future patch.
My original attempt at solving some of these problems was to repurpose
byval with a different address space from the stack. However, it is
technically permitted for the callee to introduce a write to the
argument, although nothing does this in reality. There is also talk of
removing and replacing the byval attribute, so a new attribute would
need to take its place anyway.
This is intended avoid some optimization issues with the current
handling of aggregate arguments, as well as fixes inflexibilty in how
frontends can specify the kernel ABI. The most honest representation
of the amdgpu_kernel convention is to expose all kernel arguments as
loads from constant memory. Today, these are raw, SSA Argument values
and codegen is responsible for turning these into loads.
Background:
There currently isn't a satisfactory way to represent how arguments
for the amdgpu_kernel calling convention are passed. In reality,
arguments are passed in a single, flat, constant memory buffer
implicitly passed to the function. It is also illegal to call this
function in the IR, and this is only ever invoked by a driver of some
kind.
It does not make sense to have a stack passed parameter in this
context as is implied by byval. It is never valid to write to the
kernel arguments, as this would corrupt the inputs seen by other
dispatches of the kernel. These argumets are also not in the same
address space as the stack, so a copy is needed to an alloca. From a
source C-like language, the kernel parameters are invisible.
Semantically, a copy is always required from the constant argument
memory to a mutable variable.
The current clang calling convention lowering emits raw values,
including aggregates into the function argument list, since using
byval would not make sense. This has some unfortunate consequences for
the optimizer. In the aggregate case, we end up with an aggregate
store to alloca, which both SROA and instcombine turn into a store of
each aggregate field. The optimizer never pieces this back together to
see that this is really just a copy from constant memory, so we end up
stuck with expensive stack usage.
This also means the backend dictates the alignment of arguments, and
arbitrarily picks the LLVM IR ABI type alignment. By allowing an
explicit alignment, frontends can make better decisions. For example,
there's real no advantage to an aligment higher than 4, so a frontend
could choose to compact the argument layout. Similarly, there is a
high penalty to using an alignment lower than 4, so a frontend could
opt into more padding for small arguments.
Another design consideration is when it is appropriate to expose the
fact that these arguments are all really passed in adjacent
memory. Currently we have a late IR optimization pass in codegen to
rewrite the kernel argument values into explicit loads to enable
vectorization. In most programs, unrelated argument loads can be
merged together. However, exposing this property directly from the
frontend has some disadvantages. We still need a way to track the
original argument sizes and alignments to report to the driver. I find
using some side-channel, metadata mechanism to track this
unappealing. If the kernel arguments were exposed as a single buffer
to begin with, alias analysis would be unaware that the padding bits
betewen arguments are meaningless. Another family of problems is there
are still some gaps in replacing all of the available parameter
attributes with metadata equivalents once lowered to loads.
The immediate plan is to start using this new attribute to handle all
aggregate argumets for kernels. Long term, it makes sense to migrate
all kernel arguments, including scalars, to be passed indirectly in
the same manner.
Additional context is in D79744.

Some sequences of optimizations can generate call sites which may never be
