AArch32/Armv8A introduced the performance deprecation of certain patterns
of IT instructions. After some debate internal to ARM, this is now being
reverted; i.e. no IT instruction patterns are performance deprecated
anymore, as the perfomance degredation is not significant enough.
This reverts the following:
"ARMv8-A deprecates some uses of the T32 IT instruction. All uses of
IT that apply to instructions other than a single subsequent 16-bit
instruction from a restricted set are deprecated, as are explicit
references to the PC within that single 16-bit instruction. This permits
the non-deprecated forms of IT and subsequent instructions to be treated
as a single 32-bit conditional instruction."
The deprecation no longer applies, but the behaviour may be controlled
by the -arm-restrict-it and -arm-no-restrict-it command-line options,
with the latter being the default. No warnings about complex IT blocks
will be generated.

When passing a set of flags to configure defaults for a specific

`CLANG_DEFAULT_UNWINDLIB`, `CLANG_DEFAULT_CXX_STDLIB` and
`CLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER`, but without hardcoding them in the binary),
some of the flags may cause warnings (e.g. `-stdlib=` when compiling C
code). Allow requesting selectively ignoring unused arguments among
some of the arguments on the command line, without needing to resort
to `-Qunused-arguments` or `-Wno-unused-command-line-argument`.
Fix up the existing diagnostics.c testcase. It was added in
response to PR12181 to fix handling of
`-Werror=unused-command-line-argument`, but the command line option
in the test (`-fzyzzybalubah`) now triggers "error: unknown argument"
instead of the intended warning. Change it into a linker input
(`-lfoo`) which triggers the intended diagnostic. Extend the
existing test case to check more cases and make sure that it keeps
testing the intended case.
Add testing of the new option to this existing test.

This patch implements Clang support for an original OpenMP extension
we have developed to support OpenACC: the `ompx_hold` map type
modifier. The next patch in this series, D106510, implements OpenMP
runtime support.
Consider the following example:
```
#pragma omp target data map(ompx_hold, tofrom: x) // holds onto mapping of x
{
foo(); // might have map(delete: x)
#pragma omp target map(present, alloc: x) // x is guaranteed to be present
printf("%d\n", x);
}
```
The `ompx_hold` map type modifier above specifies that the `target
data` directive holds onto the mapping for `x` throughout the
associated region regardless of any `target exit data` directives
executed during the call to `foo`. Thus, the presence assertion for
`x` at the enclosed `target` construct cannot fail. (As usual, the
standard OpenMP reference count for `x` must also reach zero before
the data is unmapped.)
Justification for inclusion in Clang and LLVM's OpenMP runtime:
* The `ompx_hold` modifier supports OpenACC functionality (structured
reference count) that cannot be achieved in standard OpenMP, as of
5.1.
* The runtime implementation for `ompx_hold` (next patch) will thus be
used by Flang's OpenACC support.
* The Clang implementation for `ompx_hold` (this patch) as well as the
runtime implementation are required for the Clang OpenACC support
being developed as part of the ECP Clacc project, which translates
OpenACC to OpenMP at the directive AST level. These patches are the
first step in upstreaming OpenACC functionality from Clacc.
* The Clang implementation for `ompx_hold` is also used by the tests
in the runtime implementation. That syntactic support makes the
tests more readable than low-level runtime calls can. Moreover,
upstream Flang and Clang do not yet support OpenACC syntax
sufficiently for writing the tests.
* More generally, the Clang implementation enables a clean separation
of concerns between OpenACC and OpenMP development in LLVM. That
is, LLVM's OpenMP developers can discuss, modify, and debug LLVM's
extended OpenMP implementation and test suite without directly
considering OpenACC's language and execution model, which can be
handled by LLVM's OpenACC developers.
* OpenMP users might find the `ompx_hold` modifier useful, as in the
above example.
See new documentation introduced by this patch in `openmp/docs` for
more detail on the functionality of this extension and its
relationship with OpenACC. For example, it explains how the runtime
must support two reference counts, as specified by OpenACC.
Clang recognizes `ompx_hold` unless `-fno-openmp-extensions`, a new
command-line option introduced by this patch, is specified.

The declaration for the global new function in C++ is generated in the compiler front-end. When examining exception propagation, we found that this is the largest root throw site propagator requiring unwind code to be generated for callers up the stack. Allowing this to be handled immediately with termination stops upward propagation and leads to significantly less landing pads generated. This in turns leads to a performance and .text size win.
With `-fnew-infallible` this annotates the declaration with `throw()` and `__attribute__((returns_nonnull))`. `throw()` allows the compiler to assume exceptions do not propagate out of new and eliminate it as a root throw site. Note that the definition of global new is user-replaceable so users should ensure that the one used follows these semantics.
Measuring internally, we're seeing at 0.5% CPU win in one of our large internal FB workload. Measuring on clang self-build (cd0a1226b5) we get:
thinlto/
"dwarfehprepare.NumCleanupLandingPadsRemaining": 153494,
"dwarfehprepare.NumNoUnwind": 26309,
thinlto_newinfallible/
"dwarfehprepare.NumCleanupLandingPadsRemaining": 143660,
"dwarfehprepare.NumNoUnwind": 28744,
a 1-143660/153494 = 6.4% reduction in landing pads and a 28744/26309 = 9.3% increase in the number of nounwind functions.

This patch adds the -fminimize-whitespace with the following effects:
* If combined with -E, remove as much non-line-breaking whitespace as
possible.
* If combined with -E -P, removes as much whitespace as possible,
including line-breaks.
The motivation is to reduce the amount of insignificant changes in the
preprocessed output with source files where only whitespace has been
changed (add/remove comments, clang-format, etc.) which is in particular
useful with ccache.
A patch for ccache for using this flag has been proposed to ccache as well:
https://github.com/ccache/ccache/pull/815, which will use
-fnormalize-whitespace when clang-13 has been detected, and additionally
uses -P in "unify_mode". ccache already had a unify_mode in an older
version which was removed because of problems that using the
preprocessor itself does not have (such that the custom tokenizer did
not recognize C++11 raw strings).
This patch slightly reorganizes which part is responsible for adding
newlines that are required for semantics. It is now either
startNewLineIfNeeded() or MoveToLine() but never both; this avoids the
ShouldUpdateCurrentLine workaround and avoids redundant lines being
inserted in some cases. It also fixes a mandatory newline not inserted
after a _Pragma("...") that is expanded into a #pragma.

The new `-fsanitize-address-destructor-kind=` option allows control over how module
destructors are emitted by ASan.
The new option is consumed by both the driver and the frontend and is propagated into
codegen options by the frontend.
Both the legacy and new pass manager code have been updated to consume the new option
from the codegen options.
It would be nice if the new utility functions (`AsanDtorKindToString` and
`AsanDtorKindFromString`) could live in LLVM instead of Clang so they could be
consumed by other language frontends. Unfortunately that doesn't work because
the clang driver doesn't link against the LLVM instrumentation library.

The expanded description of `-I` from [1] is moved to the

documentation for Clang retains the expanded description:

SUMMARY:
In IBM compiler xlclang , there is an option -fnovisibility which suppresses visibility. For more details see: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGH3R_16.1.0/com.ibm.xlcpp161.aix.doc/compiler_ref/opt_visibility.html.
We need to add the option -mignore-xcoff-visibility for compatibility with the IBM AIX OS (as the option is enabled by default in AIX). With this option llvm does not emit any visibility attribute to ASM or XCOFF object file.
The option only work on the AIX OS, for other non-AIX OS using the option will report an unsupported options error.
In AIX OS:
1.1 the option -mignore-xcoff-visibility is enabled by default , if there is not -fvisibility=* and -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command .
1.2 if there is -fvisibility=* explicitly but not -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command. it will generate visibility attributes.
1.3 if there are both -fvisibility=* and -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command. The option "-mignore-xcoff-visibility" wins , it do not emit the visibility attribute.
The option -mignore-xcoff-visibility has no effect on visibility attribute when compile with -emit-llvm option to generated LLVM IR.
