Add support for the GNU C style __attribute__((error(""))) and
__attribute__((warning(""))). These attributes are meant to be put on
declarations of functions whom should not be called.
They are frequently used to provide compile time diagnostics similar to
_Static_assert, but which may rely on non-ICE conditions (ie. relying on
compiler optimizations). This is also similar to diagnose_if function
attribute, but can diagnose after optimizations have been run.
While users may instead simply call undefined functions in such cases to
get a linkage failure from the linker, these provide a much more
ergonomic and actionable diagnostic to users and do so at compile time
rather than at link time. Users instead may be able use inline asm .err
directives.
These are used throughout the Linux kernel in its implementation of
BUILD_BUG and BUILD_BUG_ON macros. These macros generally cannot be
converted to use _Static_assert because many of the parameters are not
ICEs. The Linux kernel still needs to be modified to make use of these
when building with Clang; I have a patch that does so I will send once
this feature is landed.
To do so, we create a new IR level Function attribute, "dontcall" (both
error and warning boil down to one IR Fn Attr). Then, similar to calls
to inline asm, we attach a !srcloc Metadata node to call sites of such
attributed callees.
The backend diagnoses these during instruction selection, while we still
know that a call is a call (vs say a JMP that's a tail call) in an arch
agnostic manner.
The frontend then reconstructs the SourceLocation from that Metadata,
and determines whether to emit an error or warning based on the callee's
attribute.

For fixed SVE types, predicates are represented using vectors of i8,
where as for scalable types they are represented using vectors of i1. We
can avoid going through memory for casts between these by bitcasting the
i1 scalable vectors to/from a scalable i8 vector of matching size, which
can then use the existing vector insert/extract logic.

This change is intended as initial setup. The plan is to add
more semantic checks later. I plan to update the documentation
as more semantic checks are added (instead of documenting the
details up front). Most of the code closely mirrors that for
the Swift calling convention. Three places are marked as
[FIXME: swiftasynccc]; those will be addressed once the
corresponding convention is introduced in LLVM.

In preparation for dropping support for it. I've replaced it with
a proper type where the correct type was obvious and left an
explicit getPointerElementType() where it wasn't.
C++ constructors/destructors need to go through a different constructor to construct a GlobalDecl object in order to retrieve their linkage type. This causes an assert failure in the default constructor of GlobalDecl. I'm chaning it to using the exsiting GlobalDecl object.

I wouldn't recommend writing code like the testcase; a function
parameter isn't atomic, so using an atomic type doesn't really make
sense. But it's valid, so clang shouldn't crash on it.
The code was assuming hasAggregateEvaluationKind(Ty) implies Ty is a
RecordType, which isn't true. Just use isRecordType() instead.

The original change was reverted because it was discovered
that clang mishandles thunks, and they receive wrong
attributes for their this/return types - the ones for the function
they will call, not the ones they have.
While i have tried to fix this in https://reviews.llvm.org/D100388
that patch has been up and stuck for a month now,
with little signs of progress.
So while it will be good to solve this for real,
for now we can simply avoid introducing the bug,
by not annotating this/return for thunks.
This reverts commit 6270b3a1ea,
relanding 0aa0458f14.
As it was discovered in post-commit feedback
for 0aa0458f14,
we handle thunks incorrectly, and end up annotating
their this/return with attributes that are valid
for their callees, not for thunks themselves.
While it would be good to fix this properly,
and keep annotating them on thunks,
i've tried doing that in https://reviews.llvm.org/D100388
with little success, and the patch is stuck for a month now.
So for now, as a stopgap measure, subj.

This is a Clang-only change and depends on the existing "musttail"
support already implemented in LLVM.
The [[clang::musttail]] attribute goes on a return statement, not
a function definition. There are several constraints that the user
must follow when using [[clang::musttail]], and these constraints
are verified by Sema.
Tail calls are supported on regular function calls, calls through a
function pointer, member function calls, and even pointer to member.
Future work would be to throw a warning if a users tries to pass
a pointer or reference to a local variable through a musttail call.

When we pass a AArch64 Homogeneous Floating-Point
Aggregate (HFA) argument with increased alignment
requirements, for example
struct S {
__attribute__ ((__aligned__(16))) double v[4];
};
Clang uses `[4 x double]` for the parameter, which is passed
on the stack at alignment 8, whereas it should be at
alignment 16, following Rule C.4 in
AAPCS (https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/master/aapcs64/aapcs64.rst#642parameter-passing-rules)
Currently we don't have a way to express in LLVM IR the
alignment requirements of the function arguments. The align
attribute is applicable to pointers only, and only for some
special ways of passing arguments (e..g byval). When
implementing AAPCS32/AAPCS64, clang resorts to dubious hacks
of coercing to types, which naturally have the needed
alignment. We don't have enough types to cover all the
cases, though.
This patch introduces a new use of the stackalign attribute
to control stack slot alignment, when and if an argument is
passed in memory.
The attribute align is left as an optimizer hint - it still
applies to pointer types only and pertains to the content of
the pointer, whereas the alignment of the pointer itself is
determined by the stackalign attribute.
For byval arguments, the stackalign attribute assumes the
role, previously perfomed by align, falling back to align if
stackalign` is absent.
On the clang side, when passing arguments using the "direct"
style (cf. `ABIArgInfo::Kind`), now we can optionally
specify an alignment, which is emitted as the new
`stackalign` attribute.

As it is being noted in D99249, lack of alignment information on `this`
has been preventing LICM from happening.
For some time now, lack of alignment attribute does *not* imply
natural alignment, but an alignment of `1`.
Also, we used to treat dereferenceable as implying alignment,
but we no longer do, so it's a bugfix.

I think byval/sret and the others are close to being able to rip out
the code to support the missing type case. A lot of this code is
shared with inalloca, so catch this up to the others so that can
happen.
These are incompatible with opaque pointers. This is in preparation
of dropping this API on the IRBuilder side as well.
Instead explicitly pass the loaded type.
It's available both in CodeGenOptions and in LangOptions, and LangOptions
implementation is slightly better as it uses a StringRef instead of a char
pointer, so use it.

The option -funique-internal-linkage-names was added in D73307 and D78243 as a
LLVM early pass to insert a unique suffix to internal linkage functions and
vars. The unique suffix was the hash of the module path. However, we found
that this can be done more cleanly in clang early and the fixes that need to
be done later can be completely avoided. The fixes in particular are trying
to modify the DW_AT_linkage_name and finding the right place to insert the
pass.
This patch ressurects the original implementation proposed in D73307 which
was reviewed and then ditched in favor of the pass based approach.

Clang FE currently has hot/cold function attribute. But we only have
cold function attribute in LLVM IR.
This patch adds support of hot function attribute to LLVM IR. This
attribute will be used in setting function section prefix/suffix.
Currently .hot and .unlikely suffix only are added in PGO (Sample PGO)
compilation (through isFunctionHotInCallGraph and
isFunctionColdInCallGraph).
This patch changes the behavior. The new behavior is:
(1) If the user annotates a function as hot or isFunctionHotInCallGraph
is true, this function will be marked as hot. Otherwise,
(2) If the user annotates a function as cold or
isFunctionColdInCallGraph is true, this function will be marked as
cold.
The changes are:
(1) user annotated function attribute will used in setting function
section prefix/suffix.
(2) hot attribute overwrites profile count based hotness.
(3) profile count based hotness overwrite user annotated cold attribute.
The intention for these changes is to provide the user a way to mark
certain function as hot in cases where training input is hard to cover
all the hot functions.

The `assume` attribute is a way to provide additional, arbitrary
information to the optimizer. For now, assumptions are restricted to
strings which will be accumulated for a function and emitted as comma
separated string function attribute. The key of the LLVM-IR function
attribute is `llvm.assume`. Similar to `llvm.assume` and
`__builtin_assume`, the `assume` attribute provides a user defined
assumption to the compiler.
A follow up patch will introduce an LLVM-core API to query the
assumptions attached to a function. We also expect to add more options,
e.g., expression arguments, to the `assume` attribute later on.
The `omp [begin] asssumes` pragma will leverage this attribute and
expose the functionality in the absence of OpenMP.

Swiftcall does it's own target-independent argument type classification,
since it is not designed to be ABI compatible with anything local on the
target that isn't LLVM-based. This means it never uses inalloca.
However, we have duplicate logic for checking for inalloca parameters
that runs before call argument setup. This logic needs to know ahead of
time if inalloca will be used later, and we can't move the
CGFunctionInfo calculation earlier.
This change gets the calling convention from either the
FunctionProtoType or ObjCMethodDecl, checks if it is swift, and if so
skips the stackbase setup.

This template exists to abstract over FunctionPrototype and
ObjCMethodDecl, which have similar APIs for storing parameter types. In
place of a template, use a PointerUnion with two cases to handle this.
Hopefully this improves readability, since the type of the prototype is
easier to discover. This allows me to sink this code, which is mostly
assertions, out of the header file and into the cpp file. I can also
simplify the overloaded methods for computing isGenericMethod, and get
rid of the second EmitCallArgs overload.

After D17993, with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks we add the dereferenceable attribute to the `this` pointer.
We have observed that one internal target which worked before fails even with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks.
Switching to dereferenceable_or_null fixes the problem.
dereferenceable currently does not always respect NullPointerIsValid and may
imply nonnull and lead to aggressive optimization. The optimization may be
related to `CallBase::isReturnNonNull`, `Argument::hasNonNullAttr`, or
`Value::getPointerDereferenceableBytes`. See D66664 and D66618 for some discussions.
