Generalizing this API allows work to be distributed more evenly. In particular,
query callbacks can now be dispatched (rather than running immediately on the
thread that satisfied the query). This avoids the pathalogical case where an
operation on one thread satisfies many queries simultaneously, causing large
amounts of work to be run on that thread while other threads potentially sit
idle.
C API clients can now define a custom definition generator by providing a
callback function (to implement DefinitionGenerator::tryToGenerate) and context
object. All arguments for the DefinitionGenerator::tryToGenerate method have
been given C API counterparts, and the API allows for optionally asynchronous
generation.
This patch moves definition generation out from the session lock, instead
running it under a per-dylib generator lock. It also makes the
DefinitionGenerator::tryToGenerate method optionally asynchronous: Generators
are handed an opaque LookupState object which can be captured to stop/restart
the lookup process.
The new scheme provides the following benefits and guarantees:
(1) Queries that do not need to attempt definition generation (because all
requested symbols matched against existing definitions in the JITDylib)
can proceed without being blocked by any running definition generators.
(2) Definition generators can capture the LookupState to continue their work
asynchronously. This allows generators to run for an arbitrary amount of
time without blocking a thread. Definition generators that do not need to
run asynchronously can return without capturing the LookupState to eliminate
unnecessary recursion and improve lookup performance.
(3) Definition generators still do not need to worry about concurrency or
re-entrance: Since they are still run under a (per-dylib) lock, generators
will never be re-entered concurrently, or given overlapping symbol sets to
generate.
Finally, the new system distinguishes between symbols that are candidates for
generation (generation candidates) and symbols that failed to match for a query
(due to symbol visibility). This fixes a bug where an unresolved symbol could
trigger generation of a duplicate definition for an existing hidden symbol.
MaterializationResponsibility, JITDylib, and ExecutionSession collectively
manage the OrcV2 core JIT state. Responsibility for maintaining and
updating this state has previously been spread among these classes, resulting
in implementations that are each non-trivial, but all tightly coupled. This has
in turn made reading the code and reasoning about state update and locking
rules difficult.
The core state model can be simplified by thinking of
MaterializationResponsibility and JITDylib as facets of ExecutionSession. This
commit is the first in a series intended to refactor Core.cpp to reflect this
model. Operations on MaterializationResponsibility and JITDylib will forward to
implementation methods inside ExecutionSession. Raw state will remain with the
original classes, but in most cases will only be modified by the
ExecutionSession.
This patch introduces new APIs to support resource tracking and removal in Orc.
It is intended as a thread-safe generalization of the removeModule concept from
OrcV1.
Clients can now create ResourceTracker objects (using
JITDylib::createResourceTracker) to track resources for each MaterializationUnit
(code, data, aliases, absolute symbols, etc.) added to the JIT. Every
MaterializationUnit will be associated with a ResourceTracker, and
ResourceTrackers can be re-used for multiple MaterializationUnits. Each JITDylib
has a default ResourceTracker that will be used for MaterializationUnits added
to that JITDylib if no ResourceTracker is explicitly specified.
Two operations can be performed on ResourceTrackers: transferTo and remove. The
transferTo operation transfers tracking of the resources to a different
ResourceTracker object, allowing ResourceTrackers to be merged to reduce
administrative overhead (the source tracker is invalidated in the process). The
remove operation removes all resources associated with a ResourceTracker,
including any symbols defined by MaterializationUnits associated with the
tracker, and also invalidates the tracker. These operations are thread safe, and
should work regardless of the the state of the MaterializationUnits. In the case
of resource transfer any existing resources associated with the source tracker
will be transferred to the destination tracker, and all future resources for
those units will be automatically associated with the destination tracker. In
the case of resource removal all already-allocated resources will be
deallocated, any if any program representations associated with the tracker have
not been compiled yet they will be destroyed. If any program representations are
currently being compiled then they will be prevented from completing: their
MaterializationResponsibility will return errors on any attempt to update the
JIT state.
Clients (usually Layer writers) wishing to track resources can implement the
ResourceManager API to receive notifications when ResourceTrackers are
transferred or removed. The MaterializationResponsibility::withResourceKeyDo
method can be used to create associations between the key for a ResourceTracker
and an allocated resource in a thread-safe way.
RTDyldObjectLinkingLayer and ObjectLinkingLayer are updated to use the
ResourceManager API to enable tracking and removal of memory allocated by the
JIT linker.
The new JITDylib::clear method can be used to trigger removal of every
ResourceTracker associated with the JITDylib (note that this will only
remove resources for the JITDylib, it does not run static destructors).
This patch includes unit tests showing basic usage. A follow-up patch will
update the Kaleidoscope and BuildingAJIT tutorial series to OrcV2 and will
use this API to release code associated with anonymous expressions.
This removes all legacy layers, legacy utilities, the old Orc C bindings,
OrcMCJITReplacement, and OrcMCJITReplacement regression tests.
ExecutionEngine and MCJIT are not affected by this change.
Making MaterializationResponsibility instances immovable allows their
associated VModuleKeys to be updated by the ExecutionSession while the
responsibility is still in-flight. This will be used in the upcoming
removable code feature to enable safe merging of resource keys even if
there are active compiles using the keys being merged.
DFS and Reverse-DFS linkage orders are used to order execution of
deinitializers and initializers respectively.
This patch replaces uses of special purpose DFS order functions in
MachOPlatform and LLJIT with uses of the new methods.
MaterializationResponsibility.
MaterializationResponsibility objects provide a connection between a
materialization process (compiler, jit linker, etc.) and the JIT state held in
the ExecutionSession and JITDylib objects. Switching to shared ownership
extends the lifetime of JITDylibs to ensure they remain accessible until all
materializers targeting them have completed. This will allow (in a follow-up
patch) JITDylibs to be removed from the ExecutionSession and placed in a
pending-destruction state while they are kept alive to communicate errors
to/from any still-runnning materialization processes. The intent is to enable
JITDylibs to be safely removed even if they have running compiles targeting
them.
Refering to the link order of a dylib better matches the terminology used in
static compilation. As upcoming patches will increase the number of places where
link order matters (for example when closing JITDylibs) it's better to get this
name change out of the way early.
This flag can be used to mark a symbol as existing only for the purpose of
enabling materialization. Such a symbol can be looked up to trigger
materialization with the lookup returning only once materialization is
complete. Symbols with this flag will never resolve however (to avoid
permanently polluting the symbol table), and should only be looked up using
the SymbolLookupFlags::WeaklyReferencedSymbol flag. The primary use case for
this flag is initialization symbols.
The MU may define no symbols, but still contain a non-trivial destructor (e.g.
an LLVM IR module that has been stripped of all externally visible
definitions, but which still needs to lock its context to be destroyed).
Bailing out early ensures that we destroy the unit outside the session lock,
rather than under it which may cause deadlocks.
Also adds some extra sanity-checking assertions.
This patch adds new errors and error checking to the ObjectLinkingLayer to
catch cases where a compiled or loaded object either:
(1) Contains definitions not covered by its responsibility set, or
(2) Is missing definitions that are covered by its responsibility set.
Proir to this patch providing the correct set of definitions was treated as
an API contract requirement, however this requires that the client be confident
in the correctness of the whole compiler / object-cache pipeline and results
in difficult-to-debug assertions upon failure. Treating this as a recoverable
error results in clearer diagnostics.
The performance overhead of this check is one comparison of densemap keys
(symbol string pointers) per linking object, which is minimal. If this overhead
ever becomes a problem we can add the check under a flag that can be turned off
if the client fully trusts the rest of the pipeline.
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 is how it should've been and brings it more in line with
std::string_view. There should be no functional change here.
This is mostly mechanical from a custom clang-tidy check, with a lot of
manual fixups. It uncovers a lot of minor inefficiencies.
This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
The MaterializationResponsibility::defineMaterializing method allows clients to
add new definitions that are in the process of being materialized to the JIT.
This patch adds support to defineMaterializing for symbols with weak linkage
where the new definitions may be rejected if another materializer concurrently
defines the same symbol. If a weak symbol is rejected it will not be added to
the MaterializationResponsibility's responsibility set. Clients can check for
membership in the responsibility set via the
MaterializationResponsibility::getSymbols() method before resolving any
such weak symbols.
This patch also adds code to RTDyldObjectLinkingLayer to tag COFF comdat symbols
introduced during codegen as weak, on the assumption that these are COFF comdat
constants. This fixes http://llvm.org/PR40074.
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).
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.
In the Atom model the symbols, content and relocations of a relocatable object
file are represented as a graph of atoms, where each Atom represents a
contiguous block of content with a single name (or no name at all if the
content is anonymous), and where edges between Atoms represent relocations.
If more than one symbol is associated with a contiguous block of content then
the content is broken into multiple atoms and layout constraints (represented by
edges) are introduced to ensure that the content remains effectively contiguous.
These layout constraints must be kept in mind when examining the content
associated with a symbol (it may be spread over multiple atoms) or when applying
certain relocation types (e.g. MachO subtractors).
This patch replaces the Atom model in JITLink with a blocks-and-symbols model.
The blocks-and-symbols model represents relocatable object files as bipartite
graphs, with one set of nodes representing contiguous content (Blocks) and
another representing named or anonymous locations (Symbols) within a Block.
Relocations are represented as edges from Blocks to Symbols. This scheme
removes layout constraints (simplifying handling of MachO alt-entry symbols,
and hopefully ELF sections at some point in the future) and simplifies some
relocation logic.

In r369808 the failure scheme for ORC symbols was changed to make
MaterializationResponsibility objects responsible for failing the symbols
they represented. This simplifies error logic in the case where symbols are
still covered by a MaterializationResponsibility, but left a gap in error
handling: Symbols that have been emitted but are not yet ready (due to a
dependence on some unemitted symbol) are not covered by a
MaterializationResponsibility object. Under the scheme introduced in r369808
such symbols would be moved to the error state, but queries on those symbols
were never notified. This led to deadlocks when such symbols were failed.
This commit updates error logic to immediately fail queries on any symbol that
has already been emitted if one of its dependencies fails.
llvm-svn: 369976
Symbols that have not been queried will not have MaterializingInfo entries,
so remove the assert that all failed symbols should have these entries.
Also updates the loop to only remove entries that were found earlier.
llvm-svn: 369975
If the dependencies are not removed then a late failure (one symbol covered by
the query failing after others have already been resolved) can result in an
attempt to detach the query from already finalized symbol, resulting in an
assert/crash. This patch fixes the issue by removing query dependencies in
JITDylib::resolve for symbols that meet the required state.
llvm-svn: 369809
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
This patch replaces the JITDylib::DefinitionGenerator typedef with a class of
the same name, and adds support for attaching a sequence of DefinitionGeneration
objects to a JITDylib.
This patch also adds a new definition generator,
StaticLibraryDefinitionGenerator, that can be used to add symbols fom a static
library to a JITDylib. An object from the static library will be added (via
a supplied ObjectLayer reference) whenever a symbol from that object is
referenced.
To enable testing, lli is updated to add support for the --extra-archive option
when running in -jit-kind=orc-lazy mode.
