As discussed in https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43870,
this transform is missing a crucial legality check:
the old (non-countable) loop would early-return upon first mismatch,
but there is no such guarantee for bcmp/memcmp.
We'd need to ensure that [PtrA, PtrA+NBytes) and [PtrB, PtrB+NBytes)
are fully dereferenceable memory regions. But that would limit
the transform to constant loop trip counts and would further
cripple it because dereferenceability analysis is *very* partial.
Furthermore, even if all that is done, every single test
would need to be rewritten from scratch.
So let's just give up.
Summary: A lot of this is work in progress...

This works around a bug in Debian's patchset for glibc. The bug is
described in detail in the upstream debian bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=943798, but the short
version of it is that glibc on any Debian based distro don't load
libraries unless it has a .ARM.attribute section.

Summary:
This adds a clang option to disable inline line tables. When it is used,
the inliner uses the call site as the location of the inlined function instead of
marking it as an inline location with the function location.

The legalizer page was in a fairly good state. I've mostly just inlined
some information as a note and removed a reference to potential future
work that I think is very unlikely to be done (it's very hard to tell if
a pattern or set of patterns fully covers a node due to C++ predicates).
Also added a note that 'selectable' doesn't mean that InstructionSelect
must do it.
Summary:
Delete the BasicBlockPass and BasicBlockManager, all its dependencies and update documentation.
The BasicBlockManager was improperly tested and found to be potentially broken, and was deprecated as of rL373254.
In light of the switch to the new pass manager coming before the next release, this patch is a first cleanup of the LegacyPassManager.

Summary:
This extends the rules for when a call instruction is deemed to be an
FPMathOperator, which is based on the type of the call (i.e. the return
type of the function being called). Previously we only allowed
floating-point and vector-of-floating-point types. Now we also allow
arrays (nested to any depth) of floating-point and
vector-of-floating-point types.
This was motivated by llpc, the pipeline compiler for AMD GPUs
(https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/llpc). llpc has many math library
functions that operate on vectors, typically represented as <4 x float>,
and some that operate on matrices, typically represented as
[4 x <4 x float>], and it's useful to be able to decorate calls to all
of them with fast math flags.

I had hoped that I could have some
```
.. code-block:: MIR
```
sections for MIR examples which causes a warning about pygments not
supporting it but we have warnings treated as errors
Summary:
I haven't refreshed the Function Calls section as I don't feel I have
sufficient knowledge of that area. It would be appreciated if someone could
review that section.
Note: I'm aware that pygments doesn't support 'mir' as used in one of the
code-block directives. This currently emits a warning and I decided to
keep it to enable finding them later. Maybe we can teach pygments to
support it.

Emit a remarks section by default for the following formats:
* bitstream
* yaml-strtab
while still providing -remarks-section=<bool> to override the defaults.
Summary:
A new function pass (Transforms/CFGuard/CFGuard.cpp) inserts CFGuard checks on
indirect function calls, using either the check mechanism (X86, ARM, AArch64) or
or the dispatch mechanism (X86-64). The check mechanism requires a new calling
convention for the supported targets. The dispatch mechanism adds the target as
an operand bundle, which is processed by SelectionDAG. Another pass
(CodeGen/CFGuardLongjmp.cpp) identifies and emits valid longjmp targets, as
required by /guard:cf. This feature is enabled using the `cfguard` CC1 option.

Summary: GNU objcopy accepts the --wildcard flag to allow wildcard matching on symbol-related flags. (Note: it's implicitly true for section flags).
The basic syntax is to allow *, ?, \, and [] which work similarly to how they work in a shell. Additionally, starting a wildcard with ! causes that wildcard to prevent it from matching a flag.
Use an updated GlobPattern in libSupport to handle these patterns. It does not fully match the `fnmatch` used by GNU objcopy since named character classes (e.g. `[[:digit:]]`) are not supported, but this should support most existing use cases (mostly just `*` is what's used anyway).

Remove dead virtual functions from vtables with
replaceNonMetadataUsesWith, so that CGProfile metadata gets cleaned up
correctly.
Original commit message:
Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual
functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced
by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live
code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there
are no call sites which can use it.
This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and
regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match
virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This
information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead
of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately
determine which functions are reachable.
To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to
always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load
intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing
this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test
and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible
for optimisations to obscure the relationship between the GEP, load and
llvm.type.test, causing GlobalDCE to fail to find virtual function call
sites.
The existing linkage and visibility types don't accurately describe the scope
in which a virtual call could be made which uses a given vtable. This is
wider than the visibility of the type itself, because a virtual function call
could be made using a more-visible base class. I've added a new
!vcall_visibility metadata type to represent this, described in
TypeMetadata.rst. The internalization pass and libLTO have been updated to
change this metadata when linking is performed.
This doesn't currently work with ThinLTO, because it needs to see every call
to llvm.type.checked.load in the linkage unit. It might be possible to
extend this optimisation to be able to use the ThinLTO summary, as was done
for devirtualization, but until then that combination is rejected in the
clang driver.
To test this, I've written a fuzzer which generates random C++ programs with
complex class inheritance graphs, and virtual functions called through object
and function pointers of different types. The programs are spread across
multiple translation units and DSOs to test the different visibility
restrictions.
I've also tried doing bootstrap builds of LLVM to test this. This isn't
ideal, because only classes in anonymous namespaces can be optimised with
-fvisibility=default, and some parts of LLVM (plugins and bugpoint) do not
work correctly with -fvisibility=hidden. However, there are only 12 test
failures when building with -fvisibility=hidden (and an unmodified compiler),
and this change does not cause any new failures for either value of
-fvisibility.
On the 7 C++ sub-benchmarks of SPEC2006, this gives a geomean code-size
reduction of ~6%, over a baseline compiled with "-O2 -flto
-fvisibility=hidden -fwhole-program-vtables". The best cases are reductions
of ~14% in 450.soplex and 483.xalancbmk, and there are no code size
increases.
I've also run this on a set of 8 mbed-os examples compiled for Armv7M, which
show a geomean size reduction of ~3%, again with no size increases.
I had hoped that this would have no effect on performance, which would allow
it to awlays be enabled (when using -fwhole-program-vtables). However, the
changes in clang to use the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic are causing ~1%
performance regression in the C++ parts of SPEC2006. It should be possible to
recover some of this perf loss by teaching optimisations about the
llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, which would make it worth turning this on
by default (though it's still dependent on -fwhole-program-vtables).
