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.

A bug in the existing implementation meant that lazyReexports would not work if
the aliased name differed from the alias's name, i.e. all lazy reexports had to
be of the form (lib1, name) -> (lib2, name). This patch fixes the issue by
capturing the alias's name in the NotifyResolved callback. To simplify this
capture, and the LazyCallThroughManager code in general, the NotifyResolved
callback is updated to use llvm::unique_function rather than a custom class.
No test case yet: This can only be tested at runtime, and the only in-tree
client (lli) always uses aliases with matching names. I will add a new LLJIT
example shortly that will directly test the lazyReexports API and the
non-trivial alias use case.
libraries.
This patch substantially updates ORCv2's lookup API in order to support weak
references, and to better support static archives. Key changes:
-- Each symbol being looked for is now associated with a SymbolLookupFlags
value. If the associated value is SymbolLookupFlags::RequiredSymbol then
the symbol must be defined in one of the JITDylibs being searched (or be
able to be generated in one of these JITDylibs via an attached definition
generator) or the lookup will fail with an error. If the associated value is
SymbolLookupFlags::WeaklyReferencedSymbol then the symbol is permitted to be
undefined, in which case it will simply not appear in the resulting
SymbolMap if the rest of the lookup succeeds.
Since lookup now requires these flags for each symbol, the lookup method now
takes an instance of a new SymbolLookupSet type rather than a SymbolNameSet.
SymbolLookupSet is a vector-backed set of (name, flags) pairs. Clients are
responsible for ensuring that the set property (i.e. unique elements) holds,
though this is usually simple and SymbolLookupSet provides convenience
methods to support this.
-- Lookups now have an associated LookupKind value, which is either
LookupKind::Static or LookupKind::DLSym. Definition generators can inspect
the lookup kind when determining whether or not to generate new definitions.
The StaticLibraryDefinitionGenerator is updated to only pull in new objects
from the archive if the lookup kind is Static. This allows lookup to be
re-used to emulate dlsym for JIT'd symbols without pulling in new objects
from archives (which would not happen in a normal dlsym call).
-- JITLink is updated to allow externals to be assigned weak linkage, and
weak externals now use the SymbolLookupFlags::WeaklyReferencedSymbol value
for lookups. Unresolved weak references will be assigned the default value of
zero.
Since this patch was modifying the lookup API anyway, it alo replaces all of the
"MatchNonExported" boolean arguments with a "JITDylibLookupFlags" enum for
readability. If a JITDylib's associated value is
JITDylibLookupFlags::MatchExportedSymbolsOnly then the lookup will only
match against exported (non-hidden) symbols in that JITDylib. If a JITDylib's
associated value is JITDylibLookupFlags::MatchAllSymbols then the lookup will
match against any symbol defined in the JITDylib.
This is the main CodeGen patch to support the arm64_32 watchOS ABI in LLVM.
FastISel is mostly disabled for now since it would generate incorrect code for
ILP32.

When symbols are failed (via MaterializationResponsibility::failMaterialization)
any symbols depending on them will now be moved to an error state. Attempting
to resolve or emit a symbol in the error state (via the notifyResolved or
notifyEmitted methods on MaterializationResponsibility) will result in an error.
If notifyResolved or notifyEmitted return an error due to failure of a
dependence then the caller should log or discard the error and call
failMaterialization to propagate the failure to any queries waiting on the
symbols being resolved/emitted (plus their dependencies).
llvm-svn: 369808
notifyResolved/notifyEmitted.
The 'notify' prefix better describes what these methods do: they update the JIT
symbol states and notify any pending queries that the 'resolved' and 'emitted'
states have been reached (rather than actually performing the resolution or
emission themselves). Since new states are going to be introduced in the near
future (to track symbol registration/initialization) it's worth changing the
convention pre-emptively to avoid further confusion.
llvm-svn: 363322
rather than two callbacks.
The asynchronous lookup API (which the synchronous lookup API wraps for
convenience) used to take two callbacks: OnResolved (called once all requested
symbols had an address assigned) and OnReady to be called once all requested
symbols were safe to access). This patch updates the asynchronous lookup API to
take a single 'OnComplete' callback and a required state (SymbolState) to
determine when the callback should be made. This simplifies the common use case
(where the client is interested in a specific state) and will generalize neatly
as new states are introduced to track runtime initialization of symbols.
Clients who were making use of both callbacks in a single query will now need to
issue two queries (one for SymbolState::Resolved and another for
SymbolState::Ready). Synchronous lookup API clients who were explicitly passing
the WaitOnReady argument will now need neeed to pass a SymbolState instead (for
'WaitOnReady == true' use SymbolState::Ready, for 'WaitOnReady == false' use
SymbolState::Resolved). Synchronous lookup API clients who were using default
arugment values should see no change.

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.

In the new scheme the client passes a list of (JITDylib&, bool) pairs, rather
than a list of JITDylibs. For each JITDylib the boolean indicates whether or not
to match against non-exported symbols (true means that they should be found,
false means that they should not). The MatchNonExportedInJD and MatchNonExported
parameters on lookup are removed.
The new scheme is more flexible, and easier to understand.
This patch also updates JITDylib search orders to be lists of (JITDylib&, bool)
pairs to match the new lookup scheme. Error handling is also plumbed through
the LLJIT class to allow regression tests to fail predictably when a lookup from
a lazy call-through fails.

MaterializationResponsibility.
VModuleKeys are intended to enable selective removal of modules from a JIT
session, however for a wide variety of use cases selective removal is not
needed and introduces unnecessary overhead. As of this commit, the default
constructed VModuleKey value is reserved as a "do not track" value, and
becomes the default when adding a new module to the JIT.
This commit also changes the propagation of VModuleKeys. They were passed
alongside the MaterializationResponsibity instance in XXLayer::emit methods,
but are now propagated as part of the MaterializationResponsibility instance
itself (and as part of MaterializationUnit when stored in a JITDylib).
Associating VModuleKeys with MaterializationUnits in this way should allow
for a thread-safe module removal mechanism in the future, even when a module
is in the process of being compiled, by having the
MaterializationResponsibility object check in on its VModuleKey's state
before commiting its results to the JITDylib.
llvm-svn: 344643
This adds two arguments to the main ExecutionSession::lookup method:
MatchNonExportedInJD, and MatchNonExported. These control whether and where
hidden symbols should be matched when searching a list of JITDylibs.
A similar effect could have been achieved by filtering search results, but
this would have involved materializing symbol definitions (since materialization
is triggered on lookup) only to throw the results away, among other issues.

(1) Print debugging output under a session lock to avoid garbled messages when
compiling on multiple threads.
(2) Name MaterializationUnits, add an ostream operator for them, and so they can
be easily referenced in debugging output, and have that ostream operator
optionally print code/data/hidden symbols provided by that materialization unit
based on command line options.

implementation as lazy compile callbacks, and a "lazy re-exports" utility that
builds lazy call-throughs.
Lazy call-throughs are similar to lazy compile callbacks (and are based on the
same underlying state saving/restoring trampolines) but resolve their targets
by performing a standard ORC lookup rather than invoking a user supplied
compiler callback. This allows them to inherit the thread-safety of ORC lookups
while blocking only the calling thread (whereas compile callbacks also block one
compile thread).
Lazy re-exports provide a simple way of building lazy call-throughs. Unlike a
regular re-export, a lazy re-export generates a new address (a stub entry point)
that will act like the re-exported symbol when called. The first call via a
lazy re-export will trigger compilation of the re-exported symbol before calling
through to it.
