Jonas Devlieghere 0eaee545ee [llvm] Migrate llvm::make_unique to std::make_unique
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.

Yonghong Song d3d88d08b5 [BPF] Support for compile once and run everywhere
Introduction
============

This patch added intial support for bpf program compile once
and run everywhere (CO-RE).

The main motivation is for bpf program which depends on
kernel headers which may vary between different kernel versions.
The initial discussion can be found at https://lwn.net/Articles/773198/.

Currently, bpf program accesses kernel internal data structure
through bpf_probe_read() helper. The idea is to capture the
kernel data structure to be accessed through bpf_probe_read()
and relocate them on different kernel versions.

On each host, right before bpf program load, the bpfloader
will look at the types of the native linux through vmlinux BTF,
calculates proper access offset and patch the instruction.

To accommodate this, three intrinsic functions
   preserve_{array,union,struct}_access_index
are introduced which in clang will preserve the base pointer,
struct/union/array access_index and struct/union debuginfo type
information. Later, bpf IR pass can reconstruct the whole gep
access chains without looking at gep itself.

This patch did the following:
  . An IR pass is added to convert preserve_*_access_index to
    global variable who name encodes the getelementptr
    access pattern. The global variable has metadata
    attached to describe the corresponding struct/union
    debuginfo type.
  . An SimplifyPatchable MachineInstruction pass is added
    to remove unnecessary loads.
  . The BTF output pass is enhanced to generate relocation
    records located in .BTF.ext section.

Typical CO-RE also needs support of global variables which can
be assigned to different values to different hosts. For example,
kernel version can be used to guard different versions of codes.
This patch added the support for patchable externals as well.

Example
=======

The following is an example.

  struct pt_regs {
    long arg1;
    long arg2;
  };
  struct sk_buff {
    int i;
    struct net_device *dev;
  };

  #define _(x) (__builtin_preserve_access_index(x))
  static int (*bpf_probe_read)(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_ptr) =
          (void *) 4;
  extern __attribute__((section(".BPF.patchable_externs"))) unsigned __kernel_version;
  int bpf_prog(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
    struct net_device *dev = 0;

    // ctx->arg* does not need bpf_probe_read
    if (__kernel_version >= 41608)
      bpf_probe_read(&dev, sizeof(dev), _(&((struct sk_buff *)ctx->arg1)->dev));
    else
      bpf_probe_read(&dev, sizeof(dev), _(&((struct sk_buff *)ctx->arg2)->dev));
    return dev != 0;
  }

In the above, we want to translate the third argument of
bpf_probe_read() as relocations.

  -bash-4.4$ clang -target bpf -O2 -g -S trace.c

The compiler will generate two new subsections in .BTF.ext,
OffsetReloc and ExternReloc.
OffsetReloc is to record the structure member offset operations,
and ExternalReloc is to record the external globals where
only u8, u16, u32 and u64 are supported.

   BPFOffsetReloc Size
   struct SecLOffsetReloc for ELF section #1
   A number of struct BPFOffsetReloc for ELF section #1
   struct SecOffsetReloc for ELF section #2
   A number of struct BPFOffsetReloc for ELF section #2
   ...
   BPFExternReloc Size
   struct SecExternReloc for ELF section #1
   A number of struct BPFExternReloc for ELF section #1
   struct SecExternReloc for ELF section #2
   A number of struct BPFExternReloc for ELF section #2

  struct BPFOffsetReloc {
    uint32_t InsnOffset;    ///< Byte offset in this section
    uint32_t TypeID;        ///< TypeID for the relocation
    uint32_t OffsetNameOff; ///< The string to traverse types
  };

  struct BPFExternReloc {
    uint32_t InsnOffset;    ///< Byte offset in this section
    uint32_t ExternNameOff; ///< The string for external variable
  };

Note that only externs with attribute section ".BPF.patchable_externs"
are considered for Extern Reloc which will be patched by bpf loader
right before the load.

For the above test case, two offset records and one extern record
will be generated:
  OffsetReloc records:
        .long   .Ltmp12                 # Insn Offset
        .long   7                       # TypeId
        .long   242                     # Type Decode String
        .long   .Ltmp18                 # Insn Offset
        .long   7                       # TypeId
        .long   242                     # Type Decode String

  ExternReloc record:
        .long   .Ltmp5                  # Insn Offset
        .long   165                     # External Variable

  In string table:
        .ascii  "0:1"                   # string offset=242
        .ascii  "__kernel_version"      # string offset=165

The default member offset can be calculated as
    the 2nd member offset (0 representing the 1st member) of struct "sk_buff".

The asm code:
    .Ltmp5:
    .Ltmp6:
            r2 = 0
            r3 = 41608
    .Ltmp7:
    .Ltmp8:
            .loc    1 18 9 is_stmt 0        # t.c:18:9
    .Ltmp9:
            if r3 > r2 goto LBB0_2
    .Ltmp10:
    .Ltmp11:
            .loc    1 0 9                   # t.c:0:9
    .Ltmp12:
            r2 = 8
    .Ltmp13:
            .loc    1 19 66 is_stmt 1       # t.c:19:66
    .Ltmp14:
    .Ltmp15:
            r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0)
            goto LBB0_3
    .Ltmp16:
    .Ltmp17:
    LBB0_2:
            .loc    1 0 66 is_stmt 0        # t.c:0:66
    .Ltmp18:
            r2 = 8
            .loc    1 21 66 is_stmt 1       # t.c:21:66
    .Ltmp19:
            r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8)
    .Ltmp20:
    .Ltmp21:
    LBB0_3:
            .loc    1 0 66 is_stmt 0        # t.c:0:66
            r3 += r2
            r1 = r10
    .Ltmp22:
    .Ltmp23:
    .Ltmp24:
            r1 += -8
            r2 = 8
            call 4

For instruction .Ltmp12 and .Ltmp18, "r2 = 8", the number
8 is the structure offset based on the current BTF.
Loader needs to adjust it if it changes on the host.

For instruction .Ltmp5, "r2 = 0", the external variable
got a default value 0, loader needs to supply an appropriate
value for the particular host.

Tom Stellard 374571301d CMake: Make most target symbols hidden by default
Summary:
For builds with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
this change makes all symbols in the target specific libraries hidden
by default.

A new macro called LLVM_EXTERNAL_VISIBILITY has been added to mark symbols in these
libraries public, which is mainly needed for the definitions of the
LLVMInitialize* functions.

This patch reduces the number of public symbols in libLLVM.so by about
25%.  This should improve load times for the dynamic library and also
make abi checker tools, like abidiff require less memory when analyzing
libLLVM.so

One side-effect of this change is that for builds with
LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON some unittests that
access symbols that are no longer public will need to be statically linked.

Before and after public symbol counts (using gcc 8.2.1, ld.bfd 2.31.1):
nm before/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
36221
nm after/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header

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

Yonghong Song 150ca5143b bpf: check illegal usage of XADD insn return value
Currently, BPF has XADD (locked add) insn support and the
asm looks like:
  lock *(u32 *)(r1 + 0) += r2
  lock *(u64 *)(r1 + 0) += r2
The instruction itself does not have a return value.

At the source code level, users often use
  __sync_fetch_and_add()
which eventually translates to XADD. The return value of
__sync_fetch_and_add() is supposed to be the old value
in the xadd memory location. Since BPF::XADD insn does not
support such a return value, this patch added a PreEmit
phase to check such a usage. If such an illegal usage
pattern is detected, a fatal error will be reported like
  line 4: Invalid usage of the XADD return value
if compiled with -g, or
  Invalid usage of the XADD return value
if compiled without -g.

This is particularly possible to happen when sub-register support

This pass also could serve as the bast for further post-RA optimization.

Yonghong Song 03e1c8b8f9 bpf: introduce -mattr=dwarfris to disable DwarfUsesRelocationsAcrossSections
Commit e4507fb8c94b ("bpf: disable DwarfUsesRelocationsAcrossSections")
disables MCAsmInfo DwarfUsesRelocationsAcrossSections unconditionally
so that dwarf will not use cross section (between dwarf and symbol table)
relocations. This new debug format enables pahole to dump structures
correctly as libdwarves.so does not have BPF backend support yet.

This new debug format, however, breaks bcc (https://github.com/iovisor/bcc)
source debug output as llvm in-memory Dwarf support has some issues to
handle it. More specifically, with DwarfUsesRelocationsAcrossSections
disabled, JIT compiler does not generate .debug_abbrev and Dwarf
DIE (debug info entry) processing is not happy about this.

This patch introduces a new flag -mattr=dwarfris
(dwarf relocation in section) to disable DwarfUsesRelocationsAcrossSections.
DwarfUsesRelocationsAcrossSections is true by default.

This pass performs peephole optimizations to cleanup ugly code sequences at

Currently, the only optimization in this pass is to eliminate type

sequences for zero extending 32-bit subregisters to 64-bit registers.

If the compiler could prove the zero extended source come from 32-bit
subregistere then it is safe to erase those promotion sequece, because the
upper half of the underlying 64-bit registers were zeroed implicitly
already.

Rafael Espindola 79e238afee Delete Default and JITDefault code models
IMHO it is an antipattern to have a enum value that is Default.

At any given piece of code it is not clear if we have to handle
Default or if has already been mapped to a concrete value. In this
case in particular, only the target can do the mapping and it is nice
to make sure it is always done.

This deletes the two default enum values of CodeModel and uses an
explicit Optional<CodeModel> when it is possible that it is
unspecified.

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).

Alexei Starovoitov 310deada10 [bpf] add big- and host- endian support
Summary:
-march=bpf    -> host endian
-march=bpf_le -> little endian
-match=bpf_be -> big endian

Test Plan:
v1 was tested by IBM s390 guys and appears to be working there.
It bit rots too fast here.

Mehdi Amini 93e1ea167e Move the DataLayout to the generic TargetMachine, making it mandatory.
Summary:
I don't know why every singled backend had to redeclare its own DataLayout.
There was a virtual getDataLayout() on the common base TargetMachine, the
default implementation returned nullptr. It was not clear from this that
we could assume at call site that a DataLayout will be available with
each Target.

Now getDataLayout() is no longer virtual and return a pointer to the
DataLayout member of the common base TargetMachine. I plan to turn it into
a reference in a future patch.

The only backend that didn't have a DataLayout previsouly was the CPPBackend.
It now initializes the default DataLayout. This commit is NFC for all the
other backends.

Test Plan: clang+llvm ninja check-all

Chandler Carruth 30d69c2e36 [PM] Remove the old 'PassManager.h' header file at the top level of
LLVM's include tree and the use of using declarations to hide the
'legacy' namespace for the old pass manager.

This undoes the primary modules-hostile change I made to keep
out-of-tree targets building. I sent an email inquiring about whether
this would be reasonable to do at this phase and people seemed fine with
it, so making it a reality. This should allow us to start bootstrapping
with modules to a certain extent along with making it easier to mix and
match headers in general.

The updates to any code for users of LLVM are very mechanical. Switch
from including "llvm/PassManager.h" to "llvm/IR/LegacyPassManager.h".
Qualify the types which now produce compile errors with "legacy::". The
most common ones are "PassManager", "PassManagerBase", and
"FunctionPassManager".

V1 cover letter:
---------------------
recently linux gained "universal in-kernel virtual machine" which is called
eBPF or extended BPF. The name comes from "Berkeley Packet Filter", since
new instruction set is based on it.
This patch adds a new backend that emits extended BPF instruction set.

The concept and development are covered by the following articles:
http://lwn.net/Articles/599755/
http://lwn.net/Articles/575531/
http://lwn.net/Articles/603983/
http://lwn.net/Articles/606089/
http://lwn.net/Articles/612878/

One of use cases: dtrace/systemtap alternative.

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b4fc1a460f3017e958e6a8ea560ea0afd91bf6fe

instruction set description and differences vs classic BPF:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/networking/filter.txt

Short summary of instruction set:
- 64-bit registers
  R0      - return value from in-kernel function, and exit value for BPF program
  R1 - R5 - arguments from BPF program to in-kernel function
  R6 - R9 - callee saved registers that in-kernel function will preserve
  R10     - read-only frame pointer to access stack
- two-operand instructions like +, -, *, mov, load/store
- implicit prologue/epilogue (invisible stack pointer)
- no floating point, no simd

Short history of extended BPF in kernel:
interpreter in 3.15, x64 JIT in 3.16, arm64 JIT, verifier, bpf syscall in 3.18, more to come in the future.

It's a very small and simple backend.
There is no support for global variables, arbitrary function calls, floating point, varargs,
exceptions, indirect jumps, arbitrary pointer arithmetic, alloca, etc.
From C front-end point of view it's very restricted. It's done on purpose, since kernel
rejects all programs that it cannot prove safe. It rejects programs with loops
and with memory accesses via arbitrary pointers. When kernel accepts the program it is
guaranteed that program will terminate and will not crash the kernel.

This patch implements all 'must have' bits. There are several things on TODO list,
so this is not the end of development.
Most of the code is a boiler plate code, copy-pasted from other backends.
Only odd things are lack or < and <= instructions, specialized load_byte intrinsics
and 'compare and goto' as single instruction.
Current instruction set is fixed, but more instructions can be added in the future.
