This patch implements Chandler's idea [0] for supporting languages that
require support for infinite loops with side effects, such as Rust, providing
part of a solution to bug 965 [1].
Specifically, it adds an `llvm.sideeffect()` intrinsic, which has no actual
effect, but which appears to optimization passes to have obscure side effects,
such that they don't optimize away loops containing it. It also teaches
several optimization passes to ignore this intrinsic, so that it doesn't
significantly impact optimization in most cases.
As discussed on llvm-dev [2], this patch is the first of two major parts.
The second part, to change LLVM's semantics to have defined behavior
on infinite loops by default, with a function attribute for opting into
potential-undefined-behavior, will be implemented and posted for review in
a separate patch.

r312318 - Debug info for variables whose type is shrinked to bool
r312325, r312424, r312489 - Test case for r312318

This change simplifies code that has to deal with
DIGlobalVariableExpression and mirrors how we treat DIExpressions in
debug info intrinsics. Before this change there were two ways of
representing empty expressions on globals, a nullptr and an empty
!DIExpression().
If someone needs to upgrade out-of-tree testcases:
perl -pi -e 's/(!DIGlobalVariableExpression\(var: ![0-9]*)\)/\1, expr: !DIExpression())/g' <MYTEST.ll>
will catch 95%.
llvm-svn: 312144
There is no situation where this rarely-used argument cannot be
substituted with a DIExpression and removing it allows us to simplify
the DWARF backend. Note that this patch does not yet remove any of
the newly dead code.

[GlobalOpt] Remove unreachable blocks before optimizing a function.
While the change is presumably correct, it exposes a latent bug
in DI which breaks on of the CFI checks. I'll analyze it further
and try to understand what's going on.
llvm-svn: 307729
LLVM's definition of dominance allows instructions that are cyclic
in unreachable blocks, e.g.:
%pat = select i1 %condition, @global, i16* %pat
because any instruction dominates an instruction in a block that's
not reachable from entry.
So, remove unreachable blocks from the function, because a) there's
no point in analyzing them and b) GlobalOpt should otherwise grow
some more complicated logic to break these cycles.

This patch implements PR31013 by introducing a
DIGlobalVariableExpression that holds a pair of DIGlobalVariable and
DIExpression.
Currently, DIGlobalVariables holds a DIExpression. This is not the
best way to model this:
(1) The DIGlobalVariable should describe the source level variable,
not how to get to its location.
(2) It makes it unsafe/hard to update the expressions when we call
replaceExpression on the DIGLobalVariable.
(3) It makes it impossible to represent a global variable that is in
more than one location (e.g., a variable with multiple
DW_OP_LLVM_fragment-s). We also moved away from attaching the
DIExpression to DILocalVariable for the same reasons.
This reapplies r289902 with additional testcase upgrades and a change
to the Bitcode record for DIGlobalVariable, that makes upgrading the
old format unambiguous also for variables without DIExpressions.

This reverts commit 289920 (again).
I forgot to implement a Bitcode upgrade for the case where a DIGlobalVariable
has not DIExpression. Unfortunately it is not possible to safely upgrade
these variables without adding a flag to the bitcode record indicating which
version they are.
My plan of record is to roll the planned follow-up patch that adds a
unit: field to DIGlobalVariable into this patch before recomitting.
This way we only need one Bitcode upgrade for both changes (with a
version flag in the bitcode record to safely distinguish the record
formats).
Sorry for the churn!

GlobalOpt is already dead-code-eliminating global definitions. With
this change it also takes care of declarations.
Hopefully this should make it now a strict superset of GlobalDCE.
This is important for LTO/ThinLTO as we don't want the linker to see
"undefined reference" when it processes the input files: it could
prevent proper internalization (or even load an extra file from a
static archive, changing the behavior of the program!).

This is a fix for PR28697.
An MDNode can indirectly refer to a GlobalValue, through a
ConstantAsMetadata. When the GlobalValue is deleted, the MDNode operand
is reset to `nullptr`. If the node is uniqued, this can lead to a
hard-to-detect cache invalidation in a Metadata map that's shared across
an LLVMContext.
Consider:
1. A map from Metadata* to `T` called RemappedMDs.
2. A node that references a global variable, `!{i1* @GV}`.
3. Insert `!{i1* @GV} -> SomeT` in the map.
4. Delete `@GV`, leaving behind `!{null} -> SomeT`.
Looking up the generic and uninteresting `!{null}` gives you `SomeT`,
which is likely related to `@GV`. Worse, `SomeT`'s lifetime may be tied
to the deleted `@GV`.
This occurs in practice in the shared ValueMap used since r266579 in the
IRMover. Other code that handles more than one Module (with different
lifetimes) in the same LLVMContext could hit it too.
The fix here is a partial revert of r225223: in the rare case that an
MDNode operand is a ConstantAsMetadata (i.e., wrapping a node from the
Value hierarchy), drop uniquing if it gets replaced with `nullptr`.
This changes step #4 above to leave behind `distinct !{null} -> SomeT`,
which can't be confused with the generic `!{null}`.
In theory, this can cause some churn in the LLVMContext's MDNode
uniquing map when Values are being deleted. However:
- The number of GlobalValues referenced from uniqued MDNodes is
expected to be quite small. E.g., the debug info metadata schema
only references GlobalValues from distinct nodes.
- Other Constants have the lifetime of the LLVMContext, whose teardown
is careful to drop references before deleting the constants.
As a result, I don't expect a compile time regression from this change.

Summary:
The llvm.invariant.start and llvm.invariant.end intrinsics currently
support specifying invariant memory objects only in the default address
space.
With this change, these intrinsics are overloaded for any adddress space
for memory objects
and we can use these llvm invariant intrinsics in non-default address
spaces.
Example: llvm.invariant.start.p1i8(i64 4, i8 addrspace(1)* %ptr)
This overloaded intrinsic is needed for representing final or invariant
memory in managed languages.

If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.
This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)
Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

An oddity of the .ll syntax is that the "@var = " in
@var = global i32 42
is optional. Writing just
global i32 42
is equivalent to
@0 = global i32 42
This means that there is a pretty big First set at the top level. The
current implementation maintains it manually. I was trying to refactor
it, but then started wondering why keep it a all. I personally find the
above syntax confusing. It looks like something is missing.
This patch removes the feature and simplifies the parser.

The current logic assumes that any constant global will never be SRA'd. I presume this is because normally constant globals can be pushed into their uses and deleted. However, that sometimes can't happen (which is where you really want SRA, so the elements that can be eliminated, are!).
There seems to be no reason why we can't SRA constants too, so let's do it.

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.

that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.

This mostly cosmetic patch moves the DebugEmissionKind enum from DIBuilder
into DICompileUnit. DIBuilder is not the right place for this enum to live

Summary:
Make sure that any new and optimized objects created during GlobalOPT copy all the attributes from the base object.
A good example of improper behavior in the current implementation is section information associated with the GlobalObject. If a section was set for it, and GlobalOpt is creating/modifying a new object based on this one (often copying the original name), without this change new object will be placed in a default section, resulting in inappropriate properties of the new variable.
The argument here is that if customer specified a section for a variable, any changes to it that compiler does should not cause it to change that section allocation.
Moreover, any other properties worth representation in copyAttributesFrom() should also be propagated.
