Justin Lebar d5fb6957a9 Update documentation about convergent attribute.
Summary:
Be more explicit about what 'convergent' means, and indicate that the
compiler may remove the attribute from a function if it can prove that
the function doesn't in fact execute any convergent ops.

Hans Wennborg 850ec6ca18 [X86] Don't zero/sign-extend i1, i8, or i16 return values to 32 bits (PR22532)
This matches GCC and MSVC's behaviour, and saves on code size.

We were already not extending i1 return values on x86_64 after r127766. This
takes that patch further by applying it to x86 target as well, and also for i8
and i16.

The ABI docs have been unclear about the required behaviour here. The new i386
psABI [1] clearly states (Table 2.4, page 14) that i1, i8, and i16 return
vales do not need to be extended beyond 8 bits. The x86_64 ABI doc is being
updated to say the same [2].

Ashutosh Nema df6763abe8 New Loop Versioning LICM Pass
Summary:
When alias analysis is uncertain about the aliasing between any two accesses,
it will return MayAlias. This uncertainty from alias analysis restricts LICM
from proceeding further. In cases where alias analysis is uncertain we might
use loop versioning as an alternative.

Loop Versioning will create a version of the loop with aggressive aliasing
assumptions in addition to the original with conservative (default) aliasing
assumptions. The version of the loop making aggressive aliasing assumptions
will have all the memory accesses marked as no-alias. These two versions of
loop will be preceded by a memory runtime check. This runtime check consists
of bound checks for all unique memory accessed in loop, and it ensures the
lack of memory aliasing. The result of the runtime check determines which of
the loop versions is executed: If the runtime check detects any memory
aliasing, then the original loop is executed. Otherwise, the version with
aggressive aliasing assumptions is used.

The pass is off by default and can be enabled with command line option 
-enable-loop-versioning-licm.

Sanjoy Das a34ce95b60 Add a "gc-transition" operand bundle
Summary:
This adds a new kind of operand bundle to LLVM denoted by the
`"gc-transition"` tag.  Inputs to `"gc-transition"` operand bundle are
lowered into the "transition args" section of `gc.statepoint` by
`RewriteStatepointsForGC`.

This removes the last bit of functionality that was unsupported in the
deopt bundle based code path in `RewriteStatepointsForGC`.

Joseph Tremoulet 81e81960e3 [WinEH] Verify consistent funclet unwind exits
Summary:
A funclet EH pad may be exited by an unwind edge, which may be a
cleanupret exiting its cleanuppad, an invoke exiting a funclet, or an
unwind out of a nested funclet transitively exiting its parent.  Funclet
EH personalities require all such exceptional exits from a given funclet to
have the same unwind destination, and EH preparation / state numbering /
table generation implicitly depends on this.  Formalize it as a rule of
the IR in the LangRef and verifier.

Joseph Tremoulet e28885e693 [WinEH] Verify unwind edges against EH pad tree
Summary:
Funclet EH personalities require a tree-like nesting among funclets
(enforced by the ParentPad linkage in the IR), and also require that
unwind edges conform to certain rules with respect to the tree:
 - An unwind edge may exit 0 or more ancestor pads
 - An unwind edge must enter exactly one EH pad, which must be distinct
   from any exited pads
 - A cleanupret's edge must exit its cleanuppad

Describe these rules in the LangRef, and enforce them in the verifier.

Summary:
This patch introduces two new function attributes 

InaccessibleMemOnly: This attribute indicates that the function may only access memory that is not accessible by the program/IR being compiled. This is a weaker form of ReadNone.
inaccessibleMemOrArgMemOnly: This attribute indicates that the function may only access memory that is either not accessible by the program/IR being compiled, or is pointed to by its pointer arguments. This is a weaker form of  ArgMemOnly

Philip Reames 61a24ab6cc [IR] Add support for floating pointer atomic loads and stores
This patch allows atomic loads and stores of floating point to be specified in the IR and adds an adapter to allow them to be lowered via existing backend support for bitcast-to-equivalent-integer idiom.

Previously, the only way to specify a atomic float operation was to bitcast the pointer to a i32, load the value as an i32, then bitcast to a float. At it's most basic, this patch simply moves this expansion step to the point we start lowering to the backend.

This patch does not add canonicalization rules to convert the bitcast idioms to the appropriate atomic loads. I plan to do that in the future, but for now, let's simply add the support. I'd like to get instruction selection working through at least one backend (x86-64) without the bitcast conversion before canonicalizing into this form.

Similarly, I haven't yet added the target hooks to opt out of the lowering step I added to AtomicExpand. I figured it would more sense to add those once at least one backend (x86) was ready to actually opt out.

As you can see from the included tests, the generated code quality is not great. I plan on submitting some patches to fix this, but help from others along that line would be very welcome. I'm not super familiar with the backend and my ramp up time may be material.

David Majnemer 3bb88c0210 [WinEH] Use operand bundles to describe call sites
SimplifyCFG allows tail merging with code which terminates in
unreachable which, in turn, makes it possible for an invoke to end up in
a funclet which it was not originally part of.

Using operand bundles on invokes allows us to determine whether or not
an invoke was part of a funclet in the source program.

Furthermore, it allows us to unambiguously answer questions about the
legality of inlining into call sites which the personality may have
trouble with.

Sanjay Patel fa54acedd1 add fast-math-flags to 'call' instructions (PR21290)
This patch adds optional fast-math-flags (the same that apply to fmul/fadd/fsub/fdiv/frem/fcmp)
to call instructions in IR. Follow-up patches would use these flags in LibCallSimplifier, add 
support to clang, and extend FMF to the DAG for calls.

Motivating example:

%y = fmul fast float %x, %x
%z = tail call float @sqrtf(float %y)

We'd like to be able to optimize sqrt(x*x) into fabs(x). We do this today using a function-wide
attribute for unsafe-math, but we really want to trigger on the instructions themselves:

%z = tail call fast float @sqrtf(float %y)

because in an LTO build it's possible that calls with fast semantics have been inlined into a
function with non-fast semantics.

The code changes and tests are based on the recent commits that added "notail":
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL252368

and added FMF to fcmp:

David Majnemer 8a1c45d6e8 [IR] Reformulate LLVM's EH funclet IR
While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
  but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
  experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers.  They cannot
  be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
  This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
  It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
  funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
  control flow edges.  Because of this, we are forced to carefully
  analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
  nesting among funclets.  While we have logic to clone funclets when
  they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
  representation which forbade them upfront.

Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
  flow, just a bunch of simple operands;  catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
  the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
  the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad.  Their presence can be inferred
  implicitly using coloring information.

N.B.  The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for.  An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

Manman Ren 19c7bbe3b7 [CXX TLS calling convention] Add CXX TLS calling convention.
This commit adds a new target-independent calling convention for C++ TLS
access functions. It aims to minimize overhead in the caller by perserving as
many registers as possible.

The target-specific implementation for X86-64 is defined as following:
  Arguments are passed as for the default C calling convention
  The same applies for the return value(s)
  The callee preserves all GPRs - except RAX and RDI

The access function makes C-style TLS function calls in the entry and exit
block, C-style TLS functions save a lot more registers than normal calls.
The added calling convention ties into the existing implementation of the
C-style TLS functions, so we can't simply use existing calling conventions
such as preserve_mostcc.

James Molloy 90111f79f9 [SDAG] Introduce a new BITREVERSE node along with a corresponding LLVM intrinsic
Several backends have instructions to reverse the order of bits in an integer. Conceptually matching such patterns is similar to @llvm.bswap, and it was mentioned in http://reviews.llvm.org/D14234 that it would be best if these patterns were matched in InstCombine instead of reimplemented in every different target.

This patch introduces an intrinsic @llvm.bitreverse.i* that operates similarly to @llvm.bswap. For plumbing purposes there is also a new ISD node ISD::BITREVERSE, with simple expansion and promotion support.

The intention is that InstCombine's BSWAP detection logic will be extended to support BITREVERSE too, and @llvm.bitreverse intrinsics emitted (if the backend supports lowering it efficiently).

Sanjoy Das 98a341bc0c [OperandBundles] Make function attributes conservatively correct
Summary:
This makes attribute accessors on `CallInst` and `InvokeInst` do the
(conservatively) right thing.  This essentially involves, in some
cases, *not* falling back querying the attributes on the called
`llvm::Function` when operand bundles are present.

Attributes locally present on the `CallInst` or `InvokeInst` will still
override operand bundle semantics.  The LangRef has been amended to
reflect this.  Note: this change does not do anything prevent
`-function-attrs` from inferring `CallSite` local attributes after
inspecting the called function -- that will be done as a separate
change.

I've used `-adce` and `-early-cse` to test these changes.  There is
nothing special about these passes (and they did not require any
changes) except that they seemed be the easiest way to write the tests.

This change does not add deal with `argmemonly`.  That's a later change
because alias analysis requires a related fix before `argmemonly` can be
tested.

This change extends the bitset lowering pass to support bitsets that may
contain either functions or global variables. A function bitset is lowered to
a jump table that is laid out before one of the functions in the bitset.

Also add support for non-string bitset identifier names. This allows for
distinct metadata nodes to stand in for names with internal linkage,

Dan Liew 50456fb98e Try to clarify the semantics of fptrunc
* ``the value cannot fit within the destination type`` is ambiguous.
  It could mean overflow, underflow (not in the IEEE-754 sense) or a
  result that cannot be exactly represented and requires rounding or it
  could mean some combination of these. The semantics now state it means
  overflow **only**.

* Using "truncation" in the semantics is very misleading given that it
  doesn't necessarily truncate (i.e. round to zero). For example on
  x86_64 with SSE2 this is currently mapped to cvtsd2ss instruction
  who's rounding behaviour is dependent on the MXCSR register which
  is usually set to round to nearest even by default. The semantics
  now state that the rounding mode is undefined.

Joseph Tremoulet 9ce71f76b9 [WinEH] Add cleanupendpad instruction
Summary:
Add a `cleanupendpad` instruction, used to mark exceptional exits out of
cleanups (for languages/targets that can abort a cleanup with another
exception).  The `cleanupendpad` instruction is similar to the `catchendpad`
instruction in that it is an EH pad which is the target of unwind edges in
the handler and which itself has an unwind edge to the next EH action.
The `cleanupendpad` instruction, similar to `cleanupret` has a `cleanuppad`
argument indicating which cleanup it exits.  The unwind successors of a
`cleanuppad`'s `cleanupendpad`s must agree with each other and with its
`cleanupret`s.

Update WinEHPrepare (and docs/tests) to accomodate `cleanupendpad`.

Joseph Tremoulet 8220bcc570 [WinEH] Require token linkage in EH pad/ret signatures
Summary:
WinEHPrepare is going to require that cleanuppad and catchpad produce values
of token type which are consumed by any cleanupret or catchret exiting the
pad.  This change updates the signatures of those operators to require/enforce
that the type produced by the pads is token type and that the rets have an
appropriate argument.

The catchpad argument of a `CatchReturnInst` must be a `CatchPadInst` (and
similarly for `CleanupReturnInst`/`CleanupPadInst`).  To accommodate that
restriction, this change adds a notion of an operator constraint to both
LLParser and BitcodeReader, allowing appropriate sentinels to be constructed
for forward references and appropriate error messages to be emitted for
illegal inputs.

Also add a verifier rule (noted in LangRef) that a catchpad with a catchpad
predecessor must have no other predecessors; this ensures that WinEHPrepare
will see the expected linear relationship between sibling catches on the
same try.

Lastly, remove some superfluous/vestigial casts from instruction operand
setters operating on BasicBlocks.

David Majnemer 0bc0eef71c [IR] Give catchret an optional 'return value' operand
Some personality routines require funclet exit points to be clearly
marked, this is done by producing a token at the funclet pad and
consuming it at the corresponding ret instruction.  CleanupReturnInst
already had a spot for this operand but CatchReturnInst did not.
Other personality routines don't need to use this which is why it has
been made optional.

David Majnemer b611e3f50e [IR] Add token types
This introduces the basic functionality to support "token types".
The motivation stems from the need to perform operations on a Value
whose provenance cannot be obscured.

There are several applications for such a type but my immediate
motivation stems from WinEH.  Our personality routine enforces a
single-entry - single-exit regime for cleanups.  After several rounds of
optimizations, we may be left with a terminator whose "cleanup-entry
block" is not entirely clear because control flow has merged two
cleanups together.  We have experimented with using labels as operands
inside of instructions which are not terminators to indicate where we
came from but found that LLVM does not expect such exotic uses of
BasicBlocks.

Instead, we can use this new type to clearly associate the "entry point"
and "exit point" of our cleanup.  This is done by having the cleanuppad
yield a Token and consuming it at the cleanupret.
The token type makes it impossible to obscure or otherwise hide the
Value, making it trivial to track the relationship between the two
points.

What is the burden to the optimizer?  Well, it turns out we have already
paid down this cost by accepting that there are certain calls that we
are not permitted to duplicate, optimizations have to watch out for
such instructions anyway.  There are additional places in the optimizer
that we will probably have to update but early examination has given me
the impression that this will not be heroic.

using `DW_TAG_variable` in their place Stop exposing the `tag:` field at

update by hand.

(Note: a follow-up could change `DILocalVariable::DILocalVariable()` to
set the tag to `DW_TAG_formal_parameter` instead of `DW_TAG_variable`
(as appropriate), instead of having that logic magically in the backend
in `DbgVariable`.  I've added a FIXME to that effect.)

Elena Demikhovsky 37a4da825f Extended syntax of vector version of getelementptr instruction.
The justification of this change is here: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-March/082989.html

According to the current GEP syntax, vector GEP requires that each index must be a vector with the same number of elements.

%A = getelementptr i8, <4 x i8*> %ptrs, <4 x i64> %offsets

In this implementation I let each index be or vector or scalar. All vector indices must have the same number of elements. The scalar value will mean the splat vector value.

(1) %A = getelementptr i8, i8* %ptr, <4 x i64> %offsets
or
(2) %A = getelementptr i8, <4 x i8*> %ptrs, i64 %offset

In all cases the %A type is <4 x i8*>

In the case (2) we add the same offset to all pointers.

The case (1) covers C[B[i]] case, when we have the same base C and different offsets B[i].

The documentation is updated.

Summary:
Initially, these intrinsics seemed like part of a family of "frame"
related intrinsics, but now I think that's more confusing than helpful.
Initially, the LangRef specified that this would create a new kind of
allocation that would be allocated at a fixed offset from the frame
pointer (EBP/RBP). We ended up dropping that design, and leaving the
stack frame layout alone.

These intrinsics are really about sharing local stack allocations, not
frame pointers. I intend to go further and add an `llvm.localaddress()`
intrinsic that returns whatever register (EBP, ESI, ESP, RBX) is being
used to address locals, which should not be confused with the frame
pointer.

Naming suggestions at this point are welcome, I'm happy to re-run sed.

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

Peter Collingbourne 82437bf7a5 Protection against stack-based memory corruption errors using SafeStack
This patch adds the safe stack instrumentation pass to LLVM, which separates
the program stack into a safe stack, which stores return addresses, register
spills, and local variables that are statically verified to be accessed
in a safe way, and the unsafe stack, which stores everything else. Such
separation makes it much harder for an attacker to corrupt objects on the
safe stack, including function pointers stored in spilled registers and
return addresses. You can find more information about the safe stack, as
well as other parts of or control-flow hijack protection technique in our
OSDI paper on code-pointer integrity (http://dslab.epfl.ch/pubs/cpi.pdf)
and our project website (http://levee.epfl.ch).

The overhead of our implementation of the safe stack is very close to zero
(0.01% on the Phoronix benchmarks). This is lower than the overhead of
stack cookies, which are supported by LLVM and are commonly used today,
yet the security guarantees of the safe stack are strictly stronger than
stack cookies. In some cases, the safe stack improves performance due to
better cache locality.

Our current implementation of the safe stack is stable and robust, we
used it to recompile multiple projects on Linux including Chromium, and
we also recompiled the entire FreeBSD user-space system and more than 100
packages. We ran unit tests on the FreeBSD system and many of the packages
and observed no errors caused by the safe stack. The safe stack is also fully
binary compatible with non-instrumented code and can be applied to parts of
a program selectively.

This patch is our implementation of the safe stack on top of LLVM. The
patches make the following changes:

- Add the safestack function attribute, similar to the ssp, sspstrong and
  sspreq attributes.

- Add the SafeStack instrumentation pass that applies the safe stack to all
  functions that have the safestack attribute. This pass moves all unsafe local
  variables to the unsafe stack with a separate stack pointer, whereas all
  safe variables remain on the regular stack that is managed by LLVM as usual.

- Invoke the pass as the last stage before code generation (at the same time
  the existing cookie-based stack protector pass is invoked).

- Add unit tests for the safe stack.

Lab at EPFL; updates and upstreaming by myself.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith a9308c49ef IR: Give 'DI' prefix to debug info metadata
Finish off PR23080 by renaming the debug info IR constructs from `MD*`
to `DI*`.  The last of the `DIDescriptor` classes were deleted in
r235356, and the last of the related typedefs removed in r235413, so
this has all baked for about a week.

Note: If you have out-of-tree code (like a frontend), I recommend that
you get everything compiling and tests passing with the *previous*
commit before updating to this one.  It'll be easier to keep track of
what code is using the `DIDescriptor` hierarchy and what you've already
updated, and I think you're extremely unlikely to insert bugs.  YMMV of
course.

Back to *this* commit: I did this using the rename-md-di-nodes.sh
upgrade script I've attached to PR23080 (both code and testcases) and
filtered through clang-format-diff.py.  I edited the tests for
test/Assembler/invalid-generic-debug-node-*.ll by hand since the columns
were off-by-three.  It should work on your out-of-tree testcases (and
code, if you've followed the advice in the previous paragraph).

Some of the tests are in badly named files now (e.g.,
test/Assembler/invalid-mdcompositetype-missing-tag.ll should be
'dicompositetype'); I'll come back and move the files in a follow-up
commit.

Sanjoy Das 31ea6d1590 [IR] Introduce a dereferenceable_or_null(N) attribute.
Summary:
If a pointer is marked as dereferenceable_or_null(N), LLVM assumes it
is either `null` or `dereferenceable(N)` or both.  This change only
introduces the attribute and adds a token test case for the `llvm-as`
/ `llvm-dis`.  It does not hook up other parts of the optimizer to
actually exploit the attribute -- those changes will come later.

For pointers in address space 0, `dereferenceable(N)` is now exactly
equivalent to `dereferenceable_or_null(N)` && `nonnull`.  For other
address spaces, `dereferenceable(N)` is potentially weaker than
`dereferenceable_or_null(N)` && `nonnull` (since we could have a null
`dereferenceable(N)` pointer).

The motivating case for this change is Java (and other managed
languages), where pointers are either `null` or dereferenceable up to
some usually known-at-compile-time constant offset.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 62e0f454a0 DebugInfo: Remove 'inlinedAt:' field from MDLocalVariable
Remove 'inlinedAt:' from MDLocalVariable.  Besides saving some memory
(variables with it seem to be single largest `Metadata` contributer to
memory usage right now in -g -flto builds), this stops optimization and
backend passes from having to change local variables.

The 'inlinedAt:' field was used by the backend in two ways:

 1. To tell the backend whether and into what a variable was inlined.
 2. To create a unique id for each inlined variable.

Instead, rely on the 'inlinedAt:' field of the intrinsic's `!dbg`
attachment, and change the DWARF backend to use a typedef called
`InlinedVariable` which is `std::pair<MDLocalVariable*, MDLocation*>`.
This `DebugLoc` is already passed reliably through the backend (as
verified by r234021).

This commit removes the check from r234021, but I added a new check
(that will survive) in r235048, and changed the `DIBuilder` API in
r235041 to require a `!dbg` attachment whose 'scope:` is in the same
`MDSubprogram` as the variable's.

If this breaks your out-of-tree testcases, perhaps the script I used
(mdlocalvariable-drop-inlinedat.sh) will help; I'll attach it to PR22778
in a moment.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith e274180f0e DebugInfo: Move new hierarchy into place
Move the specialized metadata nodes for the new debug info hierarchy
into place, finishing off PR22464.  I've done bootstraps (and all that)
and I'm confident this commit is NFC as far as DWARF output is
concerned.  Let me know if I'm wrong :).

The code changes are fairly mechanical:

  - Bumped the "Debug Info Version".
  - `DIBuilder` now creates the appropriate subclass of `MDNode`.
  - Subclasses of DIDescriptor now expect to hold their "MD"
    counterparts (e.g., `DIBasicType` expects `MDBasicType`).
  - Deleted a ton of dead code in `AsmWriter.cpp` and `DebugInfo.cpp`
    for printing comments.
  - Big update to LangRef to describe the nodes in the new hierarchy.
    Feel free to make it better.

Testcase changes are enormous.  There's an accompanying clang commit on
its way.

If you have out-of-tree debug info testcases, I just broke your build.

  - `upgrade-specialized-nodes.sh` is attached to PR22564.  I used it to
    update all the IR testcases.
  - Unfortunately I failed to find way to script the updates to CHECK
    lines, so I updated all of these by hand.  This was fairly painful,
    since the old CHECKs are difficult to reason about.  That's one of
    the benefits of the new hierarchy.

This work isn't quite finished, BTW.  The `DIDescriptor` subclasses are
almost empty wrappers, but not quite: they still have loose casting
checks (see the `RETURN_FROM_RAW()` macro).  Once they're completely
gutted, I'll rename the "MD" classes to "DI" and kill the wrappers.  I
also expect to make a few schema changes now that it's easier to reason
about everything.

Peter Collingbourne e6909c8e8b Introduce bitset metadata format and bitset lowering pass.
This patch introduces a new mechanism that allows IR modules to co-operatively
build pointer sets corresponding to addresses within a given set of
globals. One particular use case for this is to allow a C++ program to
efficiently verify (at each call site) that a vtable pointer is in the set
of valid vtable pointers for the class or its derived classes. One way of
doing this is for a toolchain component to build, for each class, a bit set
that maps to the memory region allocated for the vtables, such that each 1
bit in the bit set maps to a valid vtable for that class, and lay out the
vtables next to each other, to minimize the total size of the bit sets.

The patch introduces a metadata format for representing pointer sets, an
'@llvm.bitset.test' intrinsic and an LTO lowering pass that lays out the globals
and builds the bitsets, and documents the new feature.

block.

Functions accessing the allocation call llvm.recoverframeallocation with
the function whose frame they are accessing and a frame pointer from an
active call frame of that function.

These intrinsics are very difficult to inline correctly, so the
intention is that they be introduced rarely, or at least very late
during EH preparation.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith be7ea19b58 IR: Make metadata typeless in assembly
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 = !{}

Justin Bogner 61ba2e3996 InstrProf: An intrinsic and lowering for instrumentation based profiling
Introduce the ``llvm.instrprof_increment`` intrinsic and the
``-instrprof`` pass. These provide the infrastructure for writing
counters for profiling, as in clang's ``-fprofile-instr-generate``.

The implementation of the instrprof pass is ported directly out of the
CodeGenPGO classes in clang, and with the followup in clang that rips
that code out to use these new intrinsics this ends up being NFC.

Doing the instrumentation this way opens some doors in terms of
improving the counter performance. For example, this will make it
simple to experiment with alternate lowering strategies, and allows us
to try handling profiling specially in some optimizations if we want
to.

Finally, this drastically simplifies the frontend and puts all of the
lowering logic in one place.

Peter Collingbourne 51d2de7b9e Prologue support
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.

References
----------

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).

Philip Reames e1526fc205 Clarify wording in the LangRef around !invariant.load
Clarify the wording around !invariant.load to properly reflect the semantics of such loads with respect to control dependence and location lifetime.  To the best of my knowledge, the revised wording respects the actual implementation and understanding of issues involved highlighted in the recent 'Optimization hints for "constant" loads' thread on LLVMDev.  

In particular, I'm aiming for the following results:
- To clarify that an invariant.load can fault and must respect control dependence.  In particular, it is not sound to unconditionally pull an invariant load out of a loop if that loop would potentially never execute.  
- To clarify that the invariant nature of a given pointer does not preclude the modification of that location through a pointer which is unrelated to the load operand.  In particular, initializing a location and then passing a pointer through an opaque intrinsic which produces a new unrelated pointer, should behave as expected provided that the intrinsic is memory dependent on the initializing store.  
- To clarify that storing a value to an invariant location is defined.  It can not, for example, be considered unreachable.  The value stored can be assumed to be equal to the value of any previous (or following!) invariant load, but the store itself is defined.  

I recommend that anyone interested in using !invariant.load, or optimizing for them, read over the discussion in the review thread.  A number of motivating examples are discussed.

from that used by the C specification to define the semantics of restrict. For
the argument attribute, the semantics can be precisely specified in terms of
objects accessed through pointers based on the arguments, and this is now what
is done.

Saying that the semantics are 'slightly weaker' than that provided by C99
restrict is not really useful without further elaboration, so that has been
removed from the sentence.

noalias on a return value is really used to mean that the function is
malloc-like (and, in fact, we use this attribute to represent
__attribute__((malloc)) in Clang), and this is a stronger guarantee than that
provided by restrict (because it is a property of the pointed-to memory region,
not just a guarantee on object access). Clarifying this is relevant to fixing
(and was motivated by the discussion on) PR21556.

The newly introduced 'nonnull' metadata is analogous to existing 'nonnull' attributes, but applies to load instructions rather than call arguments or returns.  Long term, it would be nice to combine these into a single construct.   The value of the load is allowed to vary between successive loads, but null is not a valid value to be loaded by any load marked nonnull.

Rafael Espindola 464fe024c5 Use "weak alias" instead of "alias weak"
Before this patch we had

@a = weak global ...
but
@b = alias weak ...

The patch changes aliases to look more like global variables.

Looking at some really old code suggests that the reason was that the old
bison based parser had a reduction for alias linkages and another one for
global variable linkages. Putting the alias first avoided the reduce/reduce
conflict.

The days of the old .ll parser are long gone. The new one parses just "linkage"
and a later check is responsible for deciding if a linkage is valid in a
given context.

This is the first commit in a series that add an @llvm.assume intrinsic which
can be used to provide the optimizer with a condition it may assume to be true

 - llvm.invariant(true) is dead.
 - llvm.invariant(false) is unreachable (this directly corresponds to the
   documented behavior of MSVC's __assume(0)), so is llvm.invariant(undef).

The intrinsic is tagged as writing arbitrarily, in order to maintain control
dependencies. BasicAA has been updated, however, to return NoModRef for any
particular location-based query so that we don't unnecessarily block code
motion.

Hal Finkel 029cde639c Simplify and improve scoped-noalias metadata semantics
In the process of fixing the noalias parameter -> metadata conversion process
that will take place during inlining (which will be committed soon, but not
turned on by default), I have come to realize that the semantics provided by
yesterday's commit are not really what we want. Here's why:

void foo(noalias a, noalias b, noalias c, bool x) {
  *q = x ? a : b;
  *c = *q;
}

Generically, we know that *c does not alias with *a and with *b (so there is an
'and' in what we know we're not), and we know that *q might be derived from *a
or from *b (so there is an 'or' in what we know that we are). So we do not want
the semantics currently, where any noalias scope matching any alias.scope
causes a NoAlias return. What we want to know is that the noalias scopes form a
superset of the alias.scope list (meaning that all the things we know we're not
is a superset of all of things the other instruction might be).

Making that change, however, introduces a composibility problem. If we inline
once, adding the noalias metadata, and then inline again adding more, and we
append new scopes onto the noalias and alias.scope lists each time. But, this
means that we could change what was a NoAlias result previously into a MayAlias
result because we appended an additional scope onto one of the alias.scope
lists. So, instead of giving scopes the ability to have parents (which I had
borrowed from the TBAA implementation, but seems increasingly unlikely to be
useful in practice), I've given them domains. The subset/superset condition now
applies within each domain independently, and we only need it to hold in one
domain. Each time we inline, we add the new scopes in a new scope domain, and
everything now composes nicely. In addition, this simplifies the
implementation.

Hal Finkel 9414665a3b Add scoped-noalias metadata
This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this
feature are:
  1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining
  2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers

Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary
infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality,
only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function
parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit.

What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access
sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA
nodes:

!scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" }
!scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 }
!scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 }
!scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 }
!scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 }

Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a
noalias tag for a specific scope:

... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }

When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with
the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the
noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory
accesses are assumed not to alias.

Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can
be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced
by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers.

[Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need
to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global
unnamed metadata.]

Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code.
This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site
(because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For
example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets
inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } --
now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site,
and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining
these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2.

Hal Finkel ccc7090671 Make use of the align parameter attribute for all pointer arguments
We previously supported the align attribute on all (pointer) parameters, but we
only used it for byval parameters. However, it is completely consistent at the
IR level to treat 'align n' on all pointer parameters as an alignment
assumption on the pointer, and now we wll. Specifically, this causes
computeKnownBits to use the align attribute on all pointer parameters, not just
byval parameters. I've also added an explicit parameter attribute test for this
to test/Bitcode/attributes.ll.

And I've updated the LangRef to document the align parameter attribute (as it
turns out, it was not documented at all previously, although the byval
documentation mentioned that it could be used).

There are (at least) two benefits to doing this:
 - It allows enhancing alignment based on the pointer alignment after inlining callees.
 - It allows simplification of pointer arithmetic.

Tim Northover fd7e424935 CodeGen: extend f16 conversions to permit types > float.
This makes the two intrinsics @llvm.convert.from.f16 and
@llvm.convert.to.f16 accept types other than simple "float". This is
only strictly needed for the truncate operation, since otherwise
double rounding occurs and there's no way to represent the strict IEEE
conversion. However, for symmetry we allow larger types in the extend
too.

During legalization, we can expand an "fp16_to_double" operation into
two extends for convenience, but abort when the truncate isn't legal. A new
libcall is probably needed here.

Even after this commit, various target tweaks are needed to actually use the
extended intrinsics. I've put these into separate commits for clarity, so there
are no actual tests of f64 conversion here.

Tim Northover 420a216817 IR: add "cmpxchg weak" variant to support permitted failure.
This commit adds a weak variant of the cmpxchg operation, as described
in C++11. A cmpxchg instruction with this modifier is permitted to
fail to store, even if the comparison indicated it should.

As a result, cmpxchg instructions must return a flag indicating
success in addition to their original iN value loaded. Thus, for
uniformity *all* cmpxchg instructions now return "{ iN, i1 }". The
second flag is 1 when the store succeeded.

At the DAG level, a new ATOMIC_CMP_SWAP_WITH_SUCCESS node has been
added as the natural representation for the new cmpxchg instructions.
It is a strong cmpxchg.

By default this gets Expanded to the existing ATOMIC_CMP_SWAP during
Legalization, so existing backends should see no change in behaviour.
If they wish to deal with the enhanced node instead, they can call
setOperationAction on it. Beware: as a node with 2 results, it cannot
be selected from TableGen.

Currently, no use is made of the extra information provided in this
patch. Test updates are almost entirely adapting the input IR to the
new scheme.

Summary for out of tree users:
------------------------------

+ Legacy Bitcode files are upgraded during read.
+ Legacy assembly IR files will be invalid.
+ Front-ends must adapt to different type for "cmpxchg".
+ Backends should be unaffected by default.

Rafael Espindola 42a4c9f9e0 Allow aliases to be unnamed_addr.
Alias with unnamed_addr were in a strange state. It is stored in GlobalValue,
the language reference talks about "unnamed_addr aliases" but the verifier
was rejecting them.

It seems natural to allow unnamed_addr in aliases:

* It is a property of how it is accessed, not of the data itself.
* It is perfectly possible to write code that depends on the address
of an alias.

This patch then makes unname_addr legal for aliases. One side effect is that
the syntax changes for a corner case: In globals, unnamed_addr is now printed
before the address space.

Rafael Espindola 64c1e18033 Allow alias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr.
This  patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is
up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not.

This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot
them, but it also lets us do things like

@test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32),
                                 i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*)

An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global
doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to
access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc).

Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *".
It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when
that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that.

Michael J. Spencer 1f10c5ea94 [IR] Make {extract,insert}element accept an index of any integer type.
Given the following C code llvm currently generates suboptimal code for
x86-64:

__m128 bss4( const __m128 *ptr, size_t i, size_t j )
{
    float f = ptr[i][j];
    return (__m128) { f, f, f, f };
}

=================================================

define <4 x float> @_Z4bss4PKDv4_fmm(<4 x float>* nocapture readonly %ptr, i64 %i, i64 %j) #0 {
  %a1 = getelementptr inbounds <4 x float>* %ptr, i64 %i
  %a2 = load <4 x float>* %a1, align 16, !tbaa !1
  %a3 = trunc i64 %j to i32
  %a4 = extractelement <4 x float> %a2, i32 %a3
  %a5 = insertelement <4 x float> undef, float %a4, i32 0
  %a6 = insertelement <4 x float> %a5, float %a4, i32 1
  %a7 = insertelement <4 x float> %a6, float %a4, i32 2
  %a8 = insertelement <4 x float> %a7, float %a4, i32 3
  ret <4 x float> %a8
}

=================================================

        shlq    $4, %rsi
        addq    %rdi, %rsi
        movslq  %edx, %rax
        vbroadcastss    (%rsi,%rax,4), %xmm0
        retq

=================================================

The movslq is uneeded, but is present because of the trunc to i32 and then
sext back to i64 that the backend adds for vbroadcastss.

We can't remove it because it changes the meaning. The IR that clang
generates is already suboptimal. What clang really should emit is:

  %a4 = extractelement <4 x float> %a2, i64 %j

This patch makes that legal. A separate patch will teach clang to do it.

Rafael Espindola 24a669d225 Prevent alias from pointing to weak aliases.
This adds back r204781.

Original message:

Aliases are just another name for a position in a file. As such, the
regular symbol resolutions are not applied. For example, given

define void @my_func() {
  ret void
}
@my_alias = alias weak void ()* @my_func
@my_alias2 = alias void ()* @my_alias

We produce without this patch:

        .weak   my_alias
my_alias = my_func
        .globl  my_alias2
my_alias2 = my_alias

That is, in the resulting ELF file my_alias, my_func and my_alias are
just 3 names pointing to offset 0 of .text. That is *not* the
semantics of IR linking. For example, linking in a

@my_alias = alias void ()* @other_func

would require the strong my_alias to override the weak one and
my_alias2 would end up pointing to other_func.

There is no way to represent that with aliases being just another
name, so the best solution seems to be to just disallow it, converting
a miscompile into an error.

Rafael Espindola 2fb5bc33a3 Remove the linker_private and linker_private_weak linkages.
These linkages were introduced some time ago, but it was never very
clear what exactly their semantics were or what they should be used
for. Some investigation found these uses:

* utf-16 strings in clang.
* non-unnamed_addr strings produced by the sanitizers.

It turns out they were just working around a more fundamental problem.
For some sections a MachO linker needs a symbol in order to split the
section into atoms, and llvm had no idea that was the case. I fixed
that in r201700 and it is now safe to use the private linkage. When
the object ends up in a section that requires symbols, llvm will use a
'l' prefix instead of a 'L' prefix and things just work.

With that, these linkages were already dead, but there was a potential
future user in the objc metadata information. I am still looking at
CGObjcMac.cpp, but at this point I am convinced that linker_private
and linker_private_weak are not what they need.

The objc uses are currently split in

* Regular symbols (no '\01' prefix). LLVM already directly provides
whatever semantics they need.
* Uses of a private name (start with "\01L" or "\01l") and private
linkage. We can drop the "\01L" and "\01l" prefixes as soon as llvm
agrees with clang on L being ok or not for a given section. I have two
patches in code review for this.
* Uses of private name and weak linkage.

The last case is the one that one could think would fit one of these
linkages. That is not the case. The semantics are

* the linker will merge these symbol by *name*.
* the linker will hide them in the final DSO.

Given that the merging is done by name, any of the private (or
internal) linkages would be a bad match. They allow llvm to rename the
symbols, and that is really not what we want. From the llvm point of
view, these objects should really be (linkonce|weak)(_odr)?.

For now, just keeping the "\01l" prefix is probably the best for these
symbols. If we one day want to have a more direct support in llvm,
IMHO what we should add is not a linkage, it is just a hidden_symbol
attribute. It would be applicable to multiple linkages. For example,
on weak it would produce the current behavior we have for objc
metadata. On internal, it would be equivalent to private (and we
should then remove private).

Rafael Espindola f3336bc1d5 Reject alias to undefined symbols in the verifier.
On ELF and COFF an alias is just another name for a position in the file.
There is no way to refer to a position in another file, so an alias to
undefined is meaningless.

MachO currently doesn't support aliases. The spec has a N_INDR, which when
implemented will have a different set of restrictions. Adding support for
it shouldn't be harder than any other IR extension.

For now, having the IR represent what is actually possible with current
tools makes it easier to fix the design of GlobalAlias.

The syntax for "cmpxchg" should now look something like:

where the second ordering argument gives the required semantics in the case
that no exchange takes place. It should be no stronger than the first ordering
constraint and cannot be either "release" or "acq_rel" (since no store will

David Majnemer c4ab61cb2f IR: Change inalloca's grammar a bit
The grammar for LLVM IR is not well specified in any document but seems
to obey the following rules:

 - Attributes which have parenthesized arguments are never preceded by
   commas.  This form of attribute is the only one which ever has
   optional arguments.  However, not all of these attributes support
   optional arguments: 'thread_local' supports an optional argument but
   'addrspace' does not.  Interestingly, 'addrspace' is documented as
   being a "qualifier".  What constitutes a qualifier?  I cannot find a
   definition.

 - Some attributes use a space between the keyword and the value.
   Examples of this form are 'align' and 'section'.  These are always
   preceded by a comma.

 - Otherwise, the attribute has no argument.  These attributes do not
   have a preceding comma.

Sometimes an attribute goes before the instruction, between the
instruction and it's type, or after it's type.  'atomicrmw' has
'volatile' between the instruction and the type while 'call' has 'tail'
preceding the instruction.

With all this in mind, it seems most consistent for 'inalloca' on an
'inalloca' instruction to occur before between the instruction and the
type.  Unlike the current formulation, there would be no preceding
comma.  The combination 'alloca inalloca' doesn't look particularly
appetizing, perhaps a better spelling of 'inalloca' is down the road.

  - Use named instructions instead of '%0'. This is nicer, but more importantly
    this makes the IR valid. Before we had two assignments to %0 in a single
    example.
  - Add a missing branch instruction to make the loop structure clear.
  - Move one access into outer.for.body to make it not look that empty.
  - The statments that are only in the outer loop body should not reference the
    inner loop metadata, but only the outer loop. Only statements in both loops
    should reference both surrounding loops.
  - Rename the array indexes to make them all independent. Before there were
    identical array indexes in the inner and the outer loop. We want to
    avoid this special case as it may lead to confusion.

Before this patch any program that wanted to know the final symbol name of a

This patch implements a compromise solution where the mangler uses DataLayout.
This way, any tool that already links with Target (llc, clang) gets the exact
behavior as before and new IR files can be mangled without linking with Target.

With this patch the mangler is constructed with just a DataLayout and DataLayout
is extended to include the information the Mangler needs.

During the years there have been some attempts at figuring out how to

* When that was not sufficient for x86-64, I added the 's' specification to

* When that was not sufficient Evan added the virtual getByValTypeAlignment.
* When even that was not sufficient, we just got the FE to add the alignment
  to the byval.

Reid Kleckner a534a38130 Begin adding docs and IR-level support for the inalloca attribute
The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI.  It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied.  This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.

This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification.  It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.

When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

Rafael Espindola e8f4d58700 Use "a" instead of "a0" in DataLayout.
It means exactly the same and is just a bit shorter.

Rafael Espindola 080133453b Remove the notion of primitive types.
They were out of place since the introduction of arbitrary precision integer
types.

This also synchronizes the documentation to Types.h, so it refers to first class
types and single value types.

Alp Toker f907b891da Correct word hyphenations
This patch tries to avoid unrelated changes other than fixing a few
hyphen-related ambiguities and contractions in nearby lines.

Sean Silva e6c6d56cab [LangRef] Remove (non-normative) paragraph that doesn't make sense.
It appears to be referring to nonexistent entities. This must be a
carry-over from an older version of the document.

Paul Robinson dcbe35bad5 The 'optnone' attribute means don't inline anything into this function
(except functions marked always_inline).
Functions with 'optnone' must also have 'noinline' so they don't get
inlined into any other function.

Based on work by Andrea Di Biagio.

I somehow didn't notice before that the examples
for addrspacecast use the wrong syntax for addrspace.
