Wrapper function call and dispatch handler helpers are moved to
ExecutionSession, and existing EPC-based tools are re-written to take an
ExecutionSession argument instead.
Requiring an ExecutorProcessControl instance simplifies existing EPC based
utilities (which only need to take an ES now), and should encourage more
utilities to use the EPC interface. It also simplifies process termination,
since the session can automatically call ExecutorProcessControl::disconnect
(previously this had to be done manually, and carefully ordered with the
rest of JIT tear-down to work correctly).
This is a first step towards consistently using the term 'executor' for the
process that executes JIT'd code. I've opted for 'executor' as the preferred
term over 'target' as target is already heavily overloaded ("the target
machine for the executor" is much clearer than "the target machine for the
target").
This patch updates the Kaleidoscope and BuildingAJIT tutorial series (chapter
1-4) to OrcV2. Chapter 5 of the BuildingAJIT series is removed -- it will be
re-instated once we have in-tree support for out-of-process JITing.
This patch only updates the tutorial code, not the text. Patches welcome for
that, otherwise I will try to update it in a few weeks.
Initializers and deinitializers are used to implement C++ static constructors
and destructors, runtime registration for some languages (e.g. with the
Objective-C runtime for Objective-C/C++ code) and other tasks that would
typically be performed when a shared-object/dylib is loaded or unloaded by a
statically compiled program.
MCJIT and ORC have historically provided limited support for discovering and
running initializers/deinitializers by scanning the llvm.global_ctors and
llvm.global_dtors variables and recording the functions to be run. This approach
suffers from several drawbacks: (1) It only works for IR inputs, not for object
files (including cached JIT'd objects). (2) It only works for initializers
described by llvm.global_ctors and llvm.global_dtors, however not all
initializers are described in this way (Objective-C, for example, describes
initializers via specially named metadata sections). (3) To make the
initializer/deinitializer functions described by llvm.global_ctors and
llvm.global_dtors searchable they must be promoted to extern linkage, polluting
the JIT symbol table (extra care must be taken to ensure this promotion does
not result in symbol name clashes).
This patch introduces several interdependent changes to ORCv2 to support the
construction of new initialization schemes, and includes an implementation of a
backwards-compatible llvm.global_ctor/llvm.global_dtor scanning scheme, and a
MachO specific scheme that handles Objective-C runtime registration (if the
Objective-C runtime is available) enabling execution of LLVM IR compiled from
Objective-C and Swift.
The major changes included in this patch are:
(1) The MaterializationUnit and MaterializationResponsibility classes are
extended to describe an optional "initializer" symbol for the module (see the
getInitializerSymbol method on each class). The presence or absence of this
symbol indicates whether the module contains any initializers or
deinitializers. The initializer symbol otherwise behaves like any other:
searching for it triggers materialization.
(2) A new Platform interface is introduced in llvm/ExecutionEngine/Orc/Core.h
which provides the following callback interface:
- Error setupJITDylib(JITDylib &JD): Can be used to install standard symbols
in JITDylibs upon creation. E.g. __dso_handle.
- Error notifyAdding(JITDylib &JD, const MaterializationUnit &MU): Generally
used to record initializer symbols.
- Error notifyRemoving(JITDylib &JD, VModuleKey K): Used to notify a platform
that a module is being removed.
Platform implementations can use these callbacks to track outstanding
initializers and implement a platform-specific approach for executing them. For
example, the MachOPlatform installs a plugin in the JIT linker to scan for both
__mod_inits sections (for C++ static constructors) and ObjC metadata sections.
If discovered, these are processed in the usual platform order: Objective-C
registration is carried out first, then static initializers are executed,
ensuring that calls to Objective-C from static initializers will be safe.
This patch updates LLJIT to use the new scheme for initialization. Two
LLJIT::PlatformSupport classes are implemented: A GenericIR platform and a MachO
platform. The GenericIR platform implements a modified version of the previous
llvm.global-ctor scraping scheme to provide support for Windows and
Linux. LLJIT's MachO platform uses the MachOPlatform class to provide MachO
specific initialization as described above.

This patch removes the magic "main" JITDylib from ExecutionEngine. The main
JITDylib was created automatically at ExecutionSession construction time, and
all subsequently created JITDylibs were added to the main JITDylib's
links-against list by default. This saves a couple of lines of boilerplate for
simple JIT setups, but this isn't worth introducing magical behavior for.
ORCv2 clients should now construct their own main JITDylib using
ExecutionSession::createJITDylib and set up its linkages manually using
JITDylib::setSearchOrder (or related methods in JITDylib).
Now that we've moved to C++14, we no longer need the llvm::make_unique
implementation from STLExtras.h. This patch is a mechanical replacement
of (hopefully) all the llvm::make_unique instances across the monorepo.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Returning the error to clients provides an opportunity to introduce readers to
the Expected and Error APIs and makes the tutorial more useful as a starting
point for a real JIT class, while only slightly complicating the code.

This commit adds a 'Legacy' prefix to old ORC layers and utilities, and removes
the '2' suffix from the new ORC layers. If you wish to continue using the old
ORC layers you will need to add a 'Legacy' prefix to your classes. If you were
already using the new ORC layers you will need to drop the '2' suffix.
The legacy layers will remain in-tree until the new layers reach feature
parity with them. This will involve adding support for removing code from the
new layers, and ensuring that performance is comperable.

VSOs now track dependencies for materializing symbols. Each symbol must have its
dependencies registered with the VSO prior to finalization. Usually this will
involve registering the dependencies returned in
AsynchronousSymbolQuery::ResolutionResults for queries made while linking the
symbols being materialized.
Queries against symbols are notified that a symbol is ready once it and all of
its transitive dependencies are finalized, allowing compilation work to be
broken up and moved between threads without queries returning until their
symbols fully safe to access / execute.
Related utilities (VSO, MaterializationUnit, MaterializationResponsibility) are
updated to support dependence tracking and more explicitly track responsibility
for symbols from the point of definition until they are finalized.

Handles were returned by addModule and used as keys for removeModule,
findSymbolIn, and emitAndFinalize. Their job is now subsumed by VModuleKeys,
which simplify resource management by providing a consistent handle across all
layers.

In particular this patch switches RTDyldObjectLinkingLayer to use
orc::SymbolResolver and threads the requried changse (ExecutionSession
references and VModuleKeys) through the existing layer APIs.
The purpose of the new resolver interface is to improve query performance and
better support parallelism, both in JIT'd code and within the compiler itself.
The most visibile change is switch of the <Layer>::addModule signatures from:
Expected<Handle> addModule(std::shared_ptr<ModuleType> Mod,
std::shared_ptr<JITSymbolResolver> Resolver)
to:
Expected<Handle> addModule(VModuleKey K, std::shared_ptr<ModuleType> Mod);
Typical usage of addModule will now look like:
auto K = ES.allocateVModuleKey();
Resolvers[K] = createSymbolResolver(...);
Layer.addModule(K, std::move(Mod));
See the BuildingAJIT tutorial code for example usage.

This patch updates the ORC layers and utilities to return and propagate
llvm::Errors where appropriate. This is necessary to allow ORC to safely handle
error cases in cross-process and remote JITing.

symbol resolver argument.
De-templatizing the symbol resolver is part of the ongoing simplification of
ORC layer API.
Removing the memory management argument (and delegating construction of memory
managers for RTDyldObjectLinkingLayer to a functor passed in to the constructor)
allows us to build JITs whose base object layers need not be compatible with
RTDyldObjectLinkingLayer's memory mangement scheme. For example, a 'remote
object layer' that sends fully relocatable objects directly to the remote does
not need a memory management scheme at all (that will be handled by the remote).

This patch replaces RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo with JITSymbol: A symbol class
that is capable of lazy materialization (i.e. the symbol definition needn't be
emitted until the address is requested). This can be used to support common
and weak symbols in the JIT (though this is not implemented in this patch).
For consistency, RuntimeDyld::SymbolResolver is renamed to JITSymbolResolver.
For space efficiency a new class, JITEvaluatedSymbol, is introduced that
behaves like the old RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo - i.e. it is just a pair of an
address and symbol flags. Instances of JITEvaluatedSymbol can be used in
symbol-tables to avoid paying the space cost of the materializer.
llvm-svn: 277386
This tidies up some code that was manually constructing RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo
instances from JITSymbols. It will save more mess in the future when
JITSymbol::getAddress is extended to return an Expected<TargetAddress> rather
than just a TargetAddress, since we'll be able to embed the error checking in
the conversion.

This is a work in progress - the chapter text is incomplete, though
the example code compiles and runs.
Feedback and patches are, as usual, most welcome.
