Reid Kleckner de3d8b500f [DebugInfo] Add calling convention support for DWARF and CodeView
Summary:
Now DISubroutineType has a 'cc' field which should be a DW_CC_ enum.  If
it is present and non-zero, the backend will emit it as a
DW_AT_calling_convention attribute. On the CodeView side, we translate
it to the appropriate enum for the LF_PROCEDURE record.

I added a new LLVM vendor specific enum to the list of DWARF calling
conventions. DWARF does not appear to attempt to standardize these, so I
assume it's OK to do this until we coordinate with GCC on how to emit
vectorcall convention functions.

Nikolay Haustov 1f7732abfa AMDGPU/SI: Add amdgpu_kernel calling convention. Part 1.
Summary:
This will be used for AMDGPU_HSA_KERNEL symbol type in output ELF.

Also, in the future unused non-kernels may be optimized.

For now, also accept SPIR_KERNEL for HCC frontend.

Also, add bitcode compatibility tests for missing calling conventions
except AVR_BUILTIN which doesn't have parse code.

George Burgess IV 278199f615 Add the allocsize attribute to LLVM.
`allocsize` is a function attribute that allows users to request that
LLVM treat arbitrary functions as allocation functions.

This patch makes LLVM accept the `allocsize` attribute, and makes
`@llvm.objectsize` recognize said attribute.

The review for this was split into two patches for ease of reviewing:
D18974 and D14933. As promised on the revisions, I'm landing both

This mostly cosmetic patch moves the DebugEmissionKind enum from DIBuilder

It turns out that terminatepad gives little benefit over a cleanuppad

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.

David Majnemer f0f224d12d [IR] Add support for empty tokens
When working with tokens, it is often the case that one has instructions
which consume a token and produce a new token.  Currently, we have no
mechanism to represent an initial token state.

Instead, we can create a notional "empty token" by inventing a new
constant which captures the semantics we would like.  This new constant
is called ConstantTokenNone and is written textually as "token none".

Maksim Panchenko cce239c45d HHVM calling conventions.
HHVM calling convention, hhvmcc, is used by HHVM JIT for
functions in translated cache. We currently support LLVM back end to
generate code for X86-64 and may support other architectures in the
future.

In HHVM calling convention any GP register could be used to pass and
return values, with the exception of R12 which is reserved for
thread-local area and is callee-saved. Other than R12, we always
pass RBX and RBP as args, which are our virtual machine's stack pointer
and frame pointer respectively.

When we enter translation cache via hhvmcc function, we expect
the stack to be aligned at 16 bytes, i.e. skewed by 8 bytes as opposed
to standard ABI alignment. This affects stack object alignment and stack
adjustments for function calls.

One extra calling convention, hhvm_ccc, is used to call C++ helpers from
HHVM's translation cache. It is almost identical to standard C calling
convention with an exception of first argument which is passed in RBP
(before we use RDI, RSI, etc.)

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`.

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.

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 70ab3d2af6 AsmParser/Writer: Handle symbolic constants in DI 'flags:'
Parse (and write) symbolic constants in debug info `flags:` fields.
This prevents a readability (and CHECK-ability) regression with the new

Old (well, current) assembly, with pretty-printing:

Flags field without this change:

Flags field with this change:

   !MDDerivedType(flags: DIFlagPublic | DIFlagRValueReference, ...)

As discussed in the review thread, this isn't a final state.  Most of
these flags correspond to `DW_AT_` symbolic constants, and we might
eventually want to support arbitrary attributes in some form.  However,
as it stands now, some of the flags correspond to other concepts (like
`FlagStaticMember`); until things are refactored this is the simplest
way to move forward without regressing assembly.

Currently, no one actually calls `MDNode::getDistinct()`, so these nodes

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).

Homogenous vector aggregates of up to four elements can be passed in
sequential vector registers, but this part is not implemented in LLVM
and will be handled in Clang.

On 32-bit x86, it is similar to fastcall in that it uses ecx:edx as
integer register parameters and is callee cleanup. On x86_64, it
delegates to the normal win64 calling convention.

Changes made by clang-tidy with minor tweaks.

Saleem Abdulrasool df2c3e89b5 AsmParser: remove deprecated LLIR support
linker_private and linker_private_weak were deprecated in 3.5.  Remove support
for them now that the 3.5 branch has been created.

Hal Finkel b0407ba071 Add a dereferenceable attribute
This attribute indicates that the parameter or return pointer is
dereferenceable. Practically speaking, loads from such a pointer within the
associated byte range are safe to speculatively execute. Such pointer
parameters are common in source languages (C++ references, for example).

David Majnemer dad0a645a7 IR: Add COMDATs to the IR
This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.

COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.

This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.

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.

Tom Roeder 44cb65fff1 Add a new attribute called 'jumptable' that creates jump-instruction tables for functions marked with this attribute.
It includes a pass that rewrites all indirect calls to jumptable functions to pass through these tables.

This also adds backend support for generating the jump-instruction tables on ARM and X86.
Note that since the jumptable attribute creates a second function pointer for a
function, any function marked with jumptable must also be marked with unnamed_addr.
