Previously, generation of stack protectors was done exclusively in the
pre-SelectionDAG Codegen LLVM IR Pass "Stack Protector". This necessitated
splitting basic blocks at the IR level to create the success/failure basic
blocks in the tail of the basic block in question. As a result of this,
calls that would have qualified for the sibling call optimization were no
longer eligible for optimization since said calls were no longer right in
the "tail position" (i.e. the immediate predecessor of a ReturnInst
instruction).
Then it was noticed that since the sibling call optimization causes the
callee to reuse the caller's stack, if we could delay the generation of
the stack protector check until later in CodeGen after the sibling call
decision was made, we get both the tail call optimization and the stack
protector check!
A few goals in solving this problem were:
1. Preserve the architecture independence of stack protector generation.
2. Preserve the normal IR level stack protector check for platforms like
OpenBSD for which we support platform specific stack protector
generation.
The main problem that guided the present solution is that one can not
solve this problem in an architecture independent manner at the IR level
only. This is because:
1. The decision on whether or not to perform a sibling call on certain
platforms (for instance i386) requires lower level information
related to available registers that can not be known at the IR level.
2. Even if the previous point were not true, the decision on whether to
perform a tail call is done in LowerCallTo in SelectionDAG which
occurs after the Stack Protector Pass. As a result, one would need to
put the relevant callinst into the stack protector check success
basic block (where the return inst is placed) and then move it back
later at SelectionDAG/MI time before the stack protector check if the
tail call optimization failed. The MI level option was nixed
immediately since it would require platform specific pattern
matching. The SelectionDAG level option was nixed because
SelectionDAG only processes one IR level basic block at a time
implying one could not create a DAG Combine to move the callinst.
To get around this problem a few things were realized:
1. While one can not handle multiple IR level basic blocks at the
SelectionDAG Level, one can generate multiple machine basic blocks
for one IR level basic block. This is how we handle bit tests and
switches.
2. At the MI level, tail calls are represented via a special return
MIInst called "tcreturn". Thus if we know the basic block in which we
wish to insert the stack protector check, we get the correct behavior
by always inserting the stack protector check right before the return
statement. This is a "magical transformation" since no matter where
the stack protector check intrinsic is, we always insert the stack
protector check code at the end of the BB.
Given the aforementioned constraints, the following solution was devised:
1. On platforms that do not support SelectionDAG stack protector check
generation, allow for the normal IR level stack protector check
generation to continue.
2. On platforms that do support SelectionDAG stack protector check
generation:
a. Use the IR level stack protector pass to decide if a stack
protector is required/which BB we insert the stack protector check
in by reusing the logic already therein. If we wish to generate a
stack protector check in a basic block, we place a special IR
intrinsic called llvm.stackprotectorcheck right before the BB's
returninst or if there is a callinst that could potentially be
sibling call optimized, before the call inst.
b. Then when a BB with said intrinsic is processed, we codegen the BB
normally via SelectBasicBlock. In said process, when we visit the
stack protector check, we do not actually emit anything into the
BB. Instead, we just initialize the stack protector descriptor
class (which involves stashing information/creating the success
mbbb and the failure mbb if we have not created one for this
function yet) and export the guard variable that we are going to
compare.
c. After we finish selecting the basic block, in FinishBasicBlock if
the StackProtectorDescriptor attached to the SelectionDAGBuilder is
initialized, we first find a splice point in the parent basic block
before the terminator and then splice the terminator of said basic
block into the success basic block. Then we code-gen a new tail for
the parent basic block consisting of the two loads, the comparison,
and finally two branches to the success/failure basic blocks. We
conclude by code-gening the failure basic block if we have not
code-gened it already (all stack protector checks we generate in
the same function, use the same failure basic block).

(Patch committed on behalf of Mark Minich, whose log entry follows.)
This is a continuation of the refactorings performed in svn rev 188573
(see that rev's comments for more detail).
This is my stage 2 refactoring: I combined the emitPrologue() &
emitEpilogue() PPC32 & PPC64 code into a single flow, simplifying a
lot of the code since in essence the PPC32 & PPC64 code generation
logic is the same, only the instruction forms are different (in most
cases). This simplification is necessary because my functional changes
(yet to come) add significant complexity, and without the
simplification of my stage 2 refactoring, the overall complexity of
both emitPrologue() & emitEpilogue() would have become almost
intractable for most mortal programmers (like me).
This submission was intended to be a pure refactoring (no functional
changes whatsoever). However, in the process of combining the PPC32 &
PPC64 flows, I spotted a difference that I believe is a bug (see svn
rev 186478 line 863, or svn rev 188573 line 888): This line appears to
be restoring the BP with the original FP content, not the original BP
content. When I merged the 32-bit and 64-bit code, I used the
corresponding code from the 64-bit flow, which I believe uses the
correct offset (BPOffset) for this operation.

With added test coverage & fix for -gline-tables-only.
Thanks Michael Gottesman for reverting this patch when it demonstrated

We previously mishandled UnresolvedUsingValueDecls in
NamedDecl::declarationReplaces, which caused us to forget decls
when there are multiple dependent using decls for the same name.
Fixes PR16936.

Clang doesn't have a table mapping cl.exe to clang warnings. While some
warnings like -Wsign-compare exist in both compilers, the majority do
not correspond and should usually be ignored.

This adds a llvm.copysign intrinsic; We already have Libfunc recognition for
copysign (which is turned into the FCOPYSIGN SDAG node). In order to
autovectorize calls to copysign in the loop vectorizer, we need a corresponding
intrinsic as well.
In addition to the expected changes to the language reference, the loop
vectorizer, BasicTTI, and the SDAG builder (the intrinsic is transformed into
an FCOPYSIGN node, just like the function call), this also adds FCOPYSIGN to a
few lists in LegalizeVector{Ops,Types} so that vector copysigns can be
expanded.
In TargetLoweringBase::initActions, I've made the default action for FCOPYSIGN
be Expand for vector types. This seems correct for all in-tree targets, and I
think is the right thing to do because, previously, there was no way to generate
vector-values FCOPYSIGN nodes (and most targets don't specify an action for
vector-typed FCOPYSIGN).
llvm-svn: 188728
copysign/copysignf never become function calls (because the SDAG expansion code
does not lower to the corresponding function call, but rather directly
implements the associated logic), but copysignl almost always is lowered into a
call to the requested libm functon (and, thus, might clobber CTR).

Until gdb supports the new accelerator tables we should add the
pubnames section so that gdb_index can be generated from gold
at link time. On darwin we already emit the accelerator tables
and so don't need to worry about pubnames.
