Adam Nemet 6c381b7a2e [OptRemark] Move YAML writing to IR
Before the patch this was in Analysis.  Moving it to IR and making it implicit
part of LLVMContext::diagnose allows the full opt-remark facility to be used
outside passes e.g. the pass manager.  Jessica is planning to use this to
report function size after each pass.  The same could be used for time
reports.

Tested with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=On.

Adam Nemet 15fccf0009 Allow ORE.emit to take a closure to delay building the remark object
In the lambda we are now returning the remark by value so we need to preserve
its type in the insertion operator.  This requires making the insertion
operator generic.

I've also converted a few cases to use the new API.  It seems to work pretty
well.  See the LoopUnroller for a slightly more interesting case.

Vivek Pandya b5ab895e2a This patch fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32352
It enables OptimizationRemarkEmitter::allowExtraAnalysis and MachineOptimizationRemarkEmitter::allowExtraAnalysis to return true not only for -fsave-optimization-record but when specific remarks are requested with
command line options.
The diagnostic handler used to be callback now this patch adds a class
DiagnosticHandler. It has virtual method to provide custom diagnostic handler
and methods to control which particular remarks are enabled. 
However LLVM-C API users can still provide callback function for diagnostic handler.

Updating remark API to newer OptimizationDiagnosticInfo API. This
allows remarks to show up in diagnostic yaml file, and enables use
of opt-viewer tool.

Hotness information for remarks (L505 and L751) do not display hotness
information, most likely due to profile information not being
propagated yet. Unsure if this is the desired outcome.

Chandler Carruth 6bda14b313 Sort the remaining #include lines in include/... and lib/....
I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.

I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.

This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.

Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

David Bozier 5159968786 [Stack Protection] Add diagnostic information for why stack protection was applied to a function
Stack Smash Protection is not completely free, so in hot code, the overhead it causes can cause performance issues. By adding diagnostic information for which functions have SSP and why, a user can quickly determine what they can do to stop SSP being applied to a specific hot function.

This change adds a remark that is reported by the stack protection code when an instruction or attribute is encountered that causes SSP to be applied.

Adam Nemet a964066705 New OptimizationRemarkEmitter pass for MIR
This allows MIR passes to emit optimization remarks with the same level
of functionality that is available to IR passes.

It also hooks up the greedy register allocator to report spills.  This
allows for interesting use cases like increasing interleaving on a loop
until spilling of registers is observed.

I still need to experiment whether reporting every spill scales but this
demonstrates for now that the functionality works from llc
using -pass-remarks*=<pass>.

Code region is the only part of this class that is IR-specific.  Code
region is moved down in the inheritance tree to a new derived class,
called DiagnosticInfoIROptimization.

All the existing remarks are derived from this new class now.

This allows the new MIR pass-remark classes to be derived from
DiagnosticInfoOptimizationBase.

Also because we keep the name DiagnosticInfoOptimizationBase, the clang
parts don't need any adjustment.

Adam Nemet a62b7e1a28 Output optimization remarks in YAML
(Re-committed after moving the template specialization under the yaml
namespace.  GCC was complaining about this.)

This allows various presentation of this data using an external tool.
This was first recommended here[1].

As an example, consider this module:

  1 int foo();
  2 int bar();
  3
  4 int baz() {
  5   return foo() + bar();
  6 }

The inliner generates these missed-optimization remarks today (the
hotness information is pulled from PGO):

  remark: /tmp/s.c:5:10: foo will not be inlined into baz (hotness: 30)
  remark: /tmp/s.c:5:18: bar will not be inlined into baz (hotness: 30)

Now with -pass-remarks-output=<yaml-file>, we generate this YAML file:

  --- !Missed
  Pass:            inline
  Name:            NotInlined
  DebugLoc:        { File: /tmp/s.c, Line: 5, Column: 10 }
  Function:        baz
  Hotness:         30
  Args:
    - Callee: foo
    - String:  will not be inlined into
    - Caller: baz
  ...
  --- !Missed
  Pass:            inline
  Name:            NotInlined
  DebugLoc:        { File: /tmp/s.c, Line: 5, Column: 18 }
  Function:        baz
  Hotness:         30
  Args:
    - Callee: bar
    - String:  will not be inlined into
    - Caller: baz
  ...

This is a summary of the high-level decisions:

* There is a new streaming interface to emit optimization remarks.
E.g. for the inliner remark above:

   ORE.emit(DiagnosticInfoOptimizationRemarkMissed(
                DEBUG_TYPE, "NotInlined", &I)
            << NV("Callee", Callee) << " will not be inlined into "
            << NV("Caller", CS.getCaller()) << setIsVerbose());

NV stands for named value and allows the YAML client to process a remark
using its name (NotInlined) and the named arguments (Callee and Caller)
without parsing the text of the message.

Subsequent patches will update ORE users to use the new streaming API.

* I am using YAML I/O for writing the YAML file.  YAML I/O requires you
to specify reading and writing at once but reading is highly non-trivial
for some of the more complex LLVM types.  Since it's not clear that we
(ever) want to use LLVM to parse this YAML file, the code supports and
asserts that we're writing only.

On the other hand, I did experiment that the class hierarchy starting at
DiagnosticInfoOptimizationBase can be mapped back from YAML generated
here (see D24479).

* The YAML stream is stored in the LLVM context.

* In the example, we can probably further specify the IR value used,
i.e. print "Function" rather than "Value".

* As before hotness is computed in the analysis pass instead of
DiganosticInfo.  This avoids the layering problem since BFI is in
Analysis while DiagnosticInfo is in IR.

Adam Nemet aad816083e [OptRemark,LDist] RFC: Add hotness attribute
Summary:
This is the first set of changes implementing the RFC from
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/98334

This is a cross-sectional patch; rather than implementing the hotness
attribute for all optimization remarks and all passes in a patch set, it
implements it for the 'missed-optimization' remark for Loop
Distribution.  My goal is to shake out the design issues before scaling
it up to other types and passes.

Hotness is computed as an integer as the multiplication of the block
frequency with the function entry count.  It's only printed in opt
currently since clang prints the diagnostic fields directly.  E.g.:

  remark: /tmp/t.c:3:3: loop not distributed: use -Rpass-analysis=loop-distribute for more info (hotness: 300)

A new API added is similar to emitOptimizationRemarkMissed.  The
difference is that it additionally takes a code region that the
diagnostic corresponds to.  From this, hotness is computed using BFI.
The new API is exposed via an analysis pass so that it can be made
dependent on LazyBFI.  (Thanks to Hal for the analysis pass idea.)

This feature can all be enabled by setDiagnosticHotnessRequested in the
LLVM context.  If this is off, LazyBFI is not calculated (D22141) so
there should be no overhead.

A new command-line option is added to turn this on in opt.

My plan is to switch all user of emitOptimizationRemark* to use this
module instead.

Adam Nemet ad437fff53 [Diag] Add getter shouldAlwaysPrint. NFC
For the new hotness attribute, the API will take the pass rather than
the pass name so we can no longer play the trick of AlwaysPrint being a
special pass name. This adds a getter to help the transition.

There is also a corresponding clang patch.

Adrian Prantl e36561855c Separate the Verifier into an analysis and a transformation pass and
allow the transformation to strip invalid debug info.

This patch separates the Verifier into an analysis and a transformation
pass, with the transformation pass optionally stripping malformed
debug info.

The problem I'm trying to solve with this sequence of patches is that
historically we've done a really bad job at verifying debug info. We want
to be able to make the verifier stricter without having to worry about
breaking bitcode compatibility with existing producers. For example, we
don't necessarily want IR produced by an older version of clang to be
rejected by an LTO link just because of malformed debug info, and rather
provide an option to strip it. Note that merely outdated (but well-formed)
debug info would continue to be auto-upgraded in this scenario.
