Sean Silva 3feb690f76 [docs] Add a note to docs/README.txt

Reid Kleckner 9f5eb637cb Added Sphinx documentation generation to CMake build system.
The option LLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX option enables the "docs-llvm-html",
"docs-llvm-man" targets but does not build them by default. The
following CMake options have been added that control what targets are
made available

SPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML
SPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN

If LLVM_BUILD_DOCS is enabled then the enabled docs-llvm-* targets will
be built by default and if ``make install`` is run then docs-llvm-html
and docs-llvm-man will be installed (tested on Linux only).

The add_sphinx_target function is in its own file so it can be included
by other projects that use Sphinx for their documentation.

Sean Silva 1703e705cf [docs] Fix up some links to the preferred style.
:doc:`...` and :ref:`...` links help Sphinx keep track the dependencies
between documents and ensure that they are not pointing to nowhere.

Raw HTML links work just fine and are easier for people less familiar
with reST/Sphinx. They are easy to change over to the :doc:/:ref: style
after the fact so this is not a problem.

This commit doesn't fix all of them.

Rafael Espindola 24a669d225 Prevent alias from pointing to weak aliases.
This adds back r204781.

Original message:

Aliases are just another name for a position in a file. As such, the
regular symbol resolutions are not applied. For example, given

define void @my_func() {
  ret void
}
@my_alias = alias weak void ()* @my_func
@my_alias2 = alias void ()* @my_alias

We produce without this patch:

        .weak   my_alias
my_alias = my_func
        .globl  my_alias2
my_alias2 = my_alias

That is, in the resulting ELF file my_alias, my_func and my_alias are
just 3 names pointing to offset 0 of .text. That is *not* the
semantics of IR linking. For example, linking in a

@my_alias = alias void ()* @other_func

would require the strong my_alias to override the weak one and
my_alias2 would end up pointing to other_func.

There is no way to represent that with aliases being just another
name, so the best solution seems to be to just disallow it, converting
a miscompile into an error.

Renato Golin 93010e687f Change @llvm.clear_cache default to call rt-lib
After some discussion on IRC, emitting a call to the library function seems
like a better default, since it will move from a compiler internal error to
a linker error, that the user can work around until LLVM is fixed.

I'm also adding a note on the responsibility of the user to confirm that
the cache was cleared on platforms where nothing is done.

Renato Golin c0a3c1d66b Add @llvm.clear_cache builtin
Implementing the LLVM part of the call to __builtin___clear_cache
which translates into an intrinsic @llvm.clear_cache and is lowered
by each target, either to a call to __clear_cache or nothing at all
incase the caches are unified.

Updating LangRef and adding some tests for the implemented architectures.
Other archs will have to implement the method in case this builtin
has to be compiled for it, since the default behaviour is to bail
unimplemented.

A Clang patch is required for the builtin to be lowered into the
llvm intrinsic. This will be done next.

Mark Seaborn b6118c5b17 Remove LowerInvoke's obsolete "-enable-correct-eh-support" option
This option caused LowerInvoke to generate code using SJLJ-based
exception handling, but there is no code left that interprets the
jmp_buf stack that the resulting code maintained (llvm.sjljeh.jblist).
This option has been obsolete for a while, and replaced by
SjLjEHPrepare.

This leaves the default behaviour of LowerInvoke, which is to convert
invokes to calls.

Renato Golin ca10564cf6 Re-factor TableGen docs
This is mainly a movement of content around to give place to new content
allowing different people to add bits to it in the right place. There is some
new content, but mostly to fill the gaps left by text movement.

I'm dropping the old syntax documentation as it has the problem of being
quickly outdated by changes and largely unnecessary to people not involved
in creating the language, but using it, which is the whole point of the
documentation.

Rafael Espindola 2fb5bc33a3 Remove the linker_private and linker_private_weak linkages.
These linkages were introduced some time ago, but it was never very
clear what exactly their semantics were or what they should be used
for. Some investigation found these uses:

* utf-16 strings in clang.
* non-unnamed_addr strings produced by the sanitizers.

It turns out they were just working around a more fundamental problem.
For some sections a MachO linker needs a symbol in order to split the
section into atoms, and llvm had no idea that was the case. I fixed
that in r201700 and it is now safe to use the private linkage. When
the object ends up in a section that requires symbols, llvm will use a
'l' prefix instead of a 'L' prefix and things just work.

With that, these linkages were already dead, but there was a potential
future user in the objc metadata information. I am still looking at
CGObjcMac.cpp, but at this point I am convinced that linker_private
and linker_private_weak are not what they need.

The objc uses are currently split in

* Regular symbols (no '\01' prefix). LLVM already directly provides
whatever semantics they need.
* Uses of a private name (start with "\01L" or "\01l") and private
linkage. We can drop the "\01L" and "\01l" prefixes as soon as llvm
agrees with clang on L being ok or not for a given section. I have two
patches in code review for this.
* Uses of private name and weak linkage.

The last case is the one that one could think would fit one of these
linkages. That is not the case. The semantics are

* the linker will merge these symbol by *name*.
* the linker will hide them in the final DSO.

Given that the merging is done by name, any of the private (or
internal) linkages would be a bad match. They allow llvm to rename the
symbols, and that is really not what we want. From the llvm point of
view, these objects should really be (linkonce|weak)(_odr)?.

For now, just keeping the "\01l" prefix is probably the best for these
symbols. If we one day want to have a more direct support in llvm,
IMHO what we should add is not a linkage, it is just a hidden_symbol
attribute. It would be applicable to multiple linkages. For example,
on weak it would produce the current behavior we have for objc
metadata. On internal, it would be equivalent to private (and we
should then remove private).

Rafael Espindola 730df071c8 Remove projects/sample.
As an example that was not actually being used, it suffered from a slow bitrot.

The two main issues with it were that it had no cmake support and
included a copy of the autoconf directory. The reality is that
autoconf is not easily composable. The lack of composabilty is why we
have clang options in llvm's configure. Suggesting that users include
a copy of autoconf/ in their projects seems a bad idea.

We are also in the process of switching to cmake, so pushing autoconf
to new project is probably not what we want.

Rafael Espindola f3336bc1d5 Reject alias to undefined symbols in the verifier.
On ELF and COFF an alias is just another name for a position in the file.
There is no way to refer to a position in another file, so an alias to
undefined is meaningless.

MachO currently doesn't support aliases. The spec has a N_INDR, which when
implemented will have a different set of restrictions. Adding support for
it shouldn't be harder than any other IR extension.

For now, having the IR represent what is actually possible with current
tools makes it easier to fix the design of GlobalAlias.

Tim Northover e94a518a22 IR: add a second ordering operand to cmpxhg for failure
The syntax for "cmpxchg" should now look something like:

	cmpxchg i32* %addr, i32 42, i32 3 acquire monotonic

where the second ordering argument gives the required semantics in the case
that no exchange takes place. It should be no stronger than the first ordering
constraint and cannot be either "release" or "acq_rel" (since no store will
have taken place).
