Tom Stellard 0dbcb36394 CMake: Make most target symbols hidden by default
Summary:
For builds with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
this change makes all symbols in the target specific libraries hidden
by default.

A new macro called LLVM_EXTERNAL_VISIBILITY has been added to mark symbols in these
libraries public, which is mainly needed for the definitions of the
LLVMInitialize* functions.

This patch reduces the number of public symbols in libLLVM.so by about
25%.  This should improve load times for the dynamic library and also
make abi checker tools, like abidiff require less memory when analyzing
libLLVM.so

One side-effect of this change is that for builds with
LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON some unittests that
access symbols that are no longer public will need to be statically linked.

Before and after public symbol counts (using gcc 8.2.1, ld.bfd 2.31.1):
nm before/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
36221
nm after/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l

Jordan Rose fdaa742174 Second attempt to add iterator_range::empty()
Doing this makes MSVC complain that `empty(someRange)` could refer to
either C++17's std::empty or LLVM's llvm::empty, which previously we
avoided via SFINAE because std::empty is defined in terms of an empty
member rather than begin and end. So, switch callers over to the new
method as it is added.

Yonghong Song d3d88d08b5 [BPF] Support for compile once and run everywhere
Introduction
============

This patch added intial support for bpf program compile once
and run everywhere (CO-RE).

The main motivation is for bpf program which depends on
kernel headers which may vary between different kernel versions.
The initial discussion can be found at https://lwn.net/Articles/773198/.

Currently, bpf program accesses kernel internal data structure
through bpf_probe_read() helper. The idea is to capture the
kernel data structure to be accessed through bpf_probe_read()
and relocate them on different kernel versions.

On each host, right before bpf program load, the bpfloader
will look at the types of the native linux through vmlinux BTF,
calculates proper access offset and patch the instruction.

To accommodate this, three intrinsic functions
   preserve_{array,union,struct}_access_index
are introduced which in clang will preserve the base pointer,
struct/union/array access_index and struct/union debuginfo type
information. Later, bpf IR pass can reconstruct the whole gep
access chains without looking at gep itself.

This patch did the following:
  . An IR pass is added to convert preserve_*_access_index to
    global variable who name encodes the getelementptr
    access pattern. The global variable has metadata
    attached to describe the corresponding struct/union
    debuginfo type.
  . An SimplifyPatchable MachineInstruction pass is added
    to remove unnecessary loads.
  . The BTF output pass is enhanced to generate relocation
    records located in .BTF.ext section.

Typical CO-RE also needs support of global variables which can
be assigned to different values to different hosts. For example,
kernel version can be used to guard different versions of codes.
This patch added the support for patchable externals as well.

Example
=======

The following is an example.

  struct pt_regs {
    long arg1;
    long arg2;
  };
  struct sk_buff {
    int i;
    struct net_device *dev;
  };

  #define _(x) (__builtin_preserve_access_index(x))
  static int (*bpf_probe_read)(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_ptr) =
          (void *) 4;
  extern __attribute__((section(".BPF.patchable_externs"))) unsigned __kernel_version;
  int bpf_prog(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
    struct net_device *dev = 0;

    // ctx->arg* does not need bpf_probe_read
    if (__kernel_version >= 41608)
      bpf_probe_read(&dev, sizeof(dev), _(&((struct sk_buff *)ctx->arg1)->dev));
    else
      bpf_probe_read(&dev, sizeof(dev), _(&((struct sk_buff *)ctx->arg2)->dev));
    return dev != 0;
  }

In the above, we want to translate the third argument of
bpf_probe_read() as relocations.

  -bash-4.4$ clang -target bpf -O2 -g -S trace.c

The compiler will generate two new subsections in .BTF.ext,
OffsetReloc and ExternReloc.
OffsetReloc is to record the structure member offset operations,
and ExternalReloc is to record the external globals where
only u8, u16, u32 and u64 are supported.

   BPFOffsetReloc Size
   struct SecLOffsetReloc for ELF section #1
   A number of struct BPFOffsetReloc for ELF section #1
   struct SecOffsetReloc for ELF section #2
   A number of struct BPFOffsetReloc for ELF section #2
   ...
   BPFExternReloc Size
   struct SecExternReloc for ELF section #1
   A number of struct BPFExternReloc for ELF section #1
   struct SecExternReloc for ELF section #2
   A number of struct BPFExternReloc for ELF section #2

  struct BPFOffsetReloc {
    uint32_t InsnOffset;    ///< Byte offset in this section
    uint32_t TypeID;        ///< TypeID for the relocation
    uint32_t OffsetNameOff; ///< The string to traverse types
  };

  struct BPFExternReloc {
    uint32_t InsnOffset;    ///< Byte offset in this section
    uint32_t ExternNameOff; ///< The string for external variable
  };

Note that only externs with attribute section ".BPF.patchable_externs"
are considered for Extern Reloc which will be patched by bpf loader
right before the load.

For the above test case, two offset records and one extern record
will be generated:
  OffsetReloc records:
        .long   .Ltmp12                 # Insn Offset
        .long   7                       # TypeId
        .long   242                     # Type Decode String
        .long   .Ltmp18                 # Insn Offset
        .long   7                       # TypeId
        .long   242                     # Type Decode String

  ExternReloc record:
        .long   .Ltmp5                  # Insn Offset
        .long   165                     # External Variable

  In string table:
        .ascii  "0:1"                   # string offset=242
        .ascii  "__kernel_version"      # string offset=165

The default member offset can be calculated as
    the 2nd member offset (0 representing the 1st member) of struct "sk_buff".

The asm code:
    .Ltmp5:
    .Ltmp6:
            r2 = 0
            r3 = 41608
    .Ltmp7:
    .Ltmp8:
            .loc    1 18 9 is_stmt 0        # t.c:18:9
    .Ltmp9:
            if r3 > r2 goto LBB0_2
    .Ltmp10:
    .Ltmp11:
            .loc    1 0 9                   # t.c:0:9
    .Ltmp12:
            r2 = 8
    .Ltmp13:
            .loc    1 19 66 is_stmt 1       # t.c:19:66
    .Ltmp14:
    .Ltmp15:
            r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0)
            goto LBB0_3
    .Ltmp16:
    .Ltmp17:
    LBB0_2:
            .loc    1 0 66 is_stmt 0        # t.c:0:66
    .Ltmp18:
            r2 = 8
            .loc    1 21 66 is_stmt 1       # t.c:21:66
    .Ltmp19:
            r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8)
    .Ltmp20:
    .Ltmp21:
    LBB0_3:
            .loc    1 0 66 is_stmt 0        # t.c:0:66
            r3 += r2
            r1 = r10
    .Ltmp22:
    .Ltmp23:
    .Ltmp24:
            r1 += -8
            r2 = 8
            call 4

For instruction .Ltmp12 and .Ltmp18, "r2 = 8", the number
8 is the structure offset based on the current BTF.
Loader needs to adjust it if it changes on the host.

For instruction .Ltmp5, "r2 = 0", the external variable
got a default value 0, loader needs to supply an appropriate
value for the particular host.

Instructions #2, #5 and #8 need relocation resoutions from the loader.

Tom Stellard 4b0b26199b Revert CMake: Make most target symbols hidden by default
This reverts r362990 (git commit 374571301d)

This was causing linker warnings on Darwin:

ld: warning: direct access in function 'llvm::initializeEvexToVexInstPassPass(llvm::PassRegistry&)'
from file '../../lib/libLLVMX86CodeGen.a(X86EvexToVex.cpp.o)' to global weak symbol

std::__1::reference_wrapper<llvm::PassRegistry>&&> >(void*)' from file '../../lib/libLLVMCore.a(Verifier.cpp.o)'
means the weak symbol cannot be overridden at runtime. This was likely caused by different translation
units being compiled with different visibility settings.

Nick Desaulniers 7ab164c4a4 [AsmPrinter] refactor to support %c w/ GlobalAddress'
Summary:
Targets like ARM, MSP430, PPC, and SystemZ have complex behavior when
printing the address of a MachineOperand::MO_GlobalAddress. Move that
handling into a new overriden method in each base class. A virtual
method was added to the base class for handling the generic case.

Refactors a few subclasses to support the target independent %a, %c, and
%n.

The patch also contains small cleanups for AVRAsmPrinter and
SystemZAsmPrinter.

It seems that NVPTXTargetLowering is possibly missing some logic to
transform GlobalAddressSDNodes for
TargetLowering::LowerAsmOperandForConstraint to handle with "i" extended
inline assembly asm constraints.

Nick Desaulniers 5277b3ff25 [AsmPrinter] refactor to remove remove AsmVariant. NFC
Summary:
The InlineAsm::AsmDialect is only required for X86; no architecture
makes use of it and as such it gets passed around between arch-specific
and general code while being unused for all architectures but X86.

Since the AsmDialect is queried from a MachineInstr, which we also pass
around, remove the additional AsmDialect parameter and query for it deep
in the X86AsmPrinter only when needed/as late as possible.

This refactor should help later planned refactors to AsmPrinter, as this
difference in the X86AsmPrinter makes it harder to make AsmPrinter more
generic.

Chandler Carruth 2946cd7010 Update the file headers across all of the LLVM projects in the monorepo
to reflect the new license.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Yonghong Song 7b410ac352 [BPF] Generate BTF DebugInfo under BPF target
This patch implements BTF (BPF Type Format).
The BTF is the debug info format for BPF, introduced
in the below linux patch:
  69b693f0ae (diff-06fb1c8825f653d7e539058b72c83332)
and further extended several times, e.g.,
  https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg534640.html
  https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg538464.html
  https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg540246.html

The main advantage of implementing in LLVM is:
   . better integration/deployment as no extra tools are needed.
   . bpf JIT based compilation (like bcc, bpftrace, etc.) can get
     BTF without much extra effort.
   . BTF line_info needs selective source codes, which can be
     easily retrieved when inside the compiler.

This patch implemented BTF generation by registering a BPF
specific DebugHandler in BPFAsmPrinter.

Chandler Carruth 6bda14b313 Sort the remaining #include lines in include/... and lib/....
I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.

I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.

This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.

Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

Alexei Starovoitov 310deada10 [bpf] add big- and host- endian support
Summary:
-march=bpf    -> host endian
-march=bpf_le -> little endian
-match=bpf_be -> big endian

Test Plan:
v1 was tested by IBM s390 guys and appears to be working there.
It bit rots too fast here.

V1 cover letter:
---------------------
recently linux gained "universal in-kernel virtual machine" which is called
eBPF or extended BPF. The name comes from "Berkeley Packet Filter", since
new instruction set is based on it.
This patch adds a new backend that emits extended BPF instruction set.

The concept and development are covered by the following articles:
http://lwn.net/Articles/599755/
http://lwn.net/Articles/575531/
http://lwn.net/Articles/603983/
http://lwn.net/Articles/606089/
http://lwn.net/Articles/612878/

One of use cases: dtrace/systemtap alternative.

bpf syscall manpage:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b4fc1a460f3017e958e6a8ea560ea0afd91bf6fe

instruction set description and differences vs classic BPF:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/networking/filter.txt

Short summary of instruction set:
- 64-bit registers
  R0      - return value from in-kernel function, and exit value for BPF program
  R1 - R5 - arguments from BPF program to in-kernel function
  R6 - R9 - callee saved registers that in-kernel function will preserve
  R10     - read-only frame pointer to access stack
- two-operand instructions like +, -, *, mov, load/store
- implicit prologue/epilogue (invisible stack pointer)
- no floating point, no simd

Short history of extended BPF in kernel:
interpreter in 3.15, x64 JIT in 3.16, arm64 JIT, verifier, bpf syscall in 3.18, more to come in the future.

It's a very small and simple backend.
There is no support for global variables, arbitrary function calls, floating point, varargs,
exceptions, indirect jumps, arbitrary pointer arithmetic, alloca, etc.
From C front-end point of view it's very restricted. It's done on purpose, since kernel
rejects all programs that it cannot prove safe. It rejects programs with loops
and with memory accesses via arbitrary pointers. When kernel accepts the program it is
guaranteed that program will terminate and will not crash the kernel.

This patch implements all 'must have' bits. There are several things on TODO list,
so this is not the end of development.
Most of the code is a boiler plate code, copy-pasted from other backends.
Only odd things are lack or < and <= instructions, specialized load_byte intrinsics
and 'compare and goto' as single instruction.
Current instruction set is fixed, but more instructions can be added in the future.
