afe3498413 Remove gc.root's performCustomLowering
This is a refactoring to restructure the single user of performCustomLowering as a specific lowering pass and remove the custom lowering hook entirely.

Before this change, the LowerIntrinsics pass (note to self: rename!) was essentially acting as a pass manager, but without being structured in terms of passes. Instead, it proxied calls to a set of GCStrategies internally. This adds a lot of conceptual complexity (i.e. GCStrategies are stateful!) for very little benefit. Since there's been interest in keeping the ShadowStackGC working, I extracting it's custom lowering pass into a dedicated pass and just added that to the pass order. It will only run for functions which opt-in to that gc.

I wasn't able to find an easy way to preserve the runtime registration of custom lowering functionality. Given that no user of this exists that I'm aware of, I made the choice to just remove that. If someone really cares, we can look at restoring it via dynamic pass registration in the future.

Note that despite the large diff, none of the lowering code actual changes. I added the framing needed to make it a pass and rename the class, but that's it.

dde94fb301 Introduce a section to the programmers manual about type hierarchies,
polymorphism, and virtual dispatch.

This is essentially trying to explain the emerging design techniques
being used in LLVM these days somewhere more accessible than the
comments on a particular piece of infrastructure. It covers the
"concepts-based polymorphism" that caused some confusion during initial
reviews of the new pass manager as well as the tagged-dispatch mechanism
used pervasively in LLVM and Clang.

Perhaps most notably, I've tried to provide some criteria to help
developers choose between these options when designing new pieces of
infrastructure.

de5df29556 [PM] Split the LoopInfo object apart from the legacy pass, creating
a LoopInfoWrapperPass to wire the object up to the legacy pass manager.

This switches all the clients of LoopInfo over and paves the way to port
LoopInfo to the new pass manager. No functionality change is intended
with this iteration.

92cd0ca3b2 [PowerPC] Adjust PatchPoints for ppc64le
Bill Schmidt pointed out that some adjustments would be needed to properly
support powerpc64le (using the ELF V2 ABI). For one thing, R11 is not available
as a scratch register, so we need to use R12. R12 is also available under ELF
V1, so to maintain consistency, I flipped the order to make R12 the first
scratch register in the array under both ABIs.

ade705c6e5 Revert "r225811 - Revert "r225808 - [PowerPC] Add StackMap/PatchPoint support""
This re-applies r225808, fixed to avoid problems with SDAG dependencies along
with the preceding fix to ScheduleDAGSDNodes::RegDefIter::InitNodeNumDefs.
These problems caused the original regression tests to assert/segfault on many
(but not all) systems.

Original commit message:

This commit does two things:

 1. Refactors PPCFastISel to use more of the common infrastructure for call
    lowering (this lets us take advantage of this common code for lowering some
    common intrinsics, stackmap/patchpoint among them).

 2. Adds support for stackmap/patchpoint lowering. For the most part, this is
    very similar to the support in the AArch64 target, with the obvious differences
    (different registers, NOP instructions, etc.). The test cases are adapted
    from the AArch64 test cases.

One difference of note is that the patchpoint call sequence takes 24 bytes, so
you can't use less than that (on AArch64 you can go down to 16). Also, as noted
in the docs, we take the patchpoint address to be the actual code address
(assuming the call is local in the TOC-sharing sense), which should yield
higher performance than generating the full cross-DSO indirect-call sequence
and is likely just as useful for JITed code (if not, we'll change it).

StackMaps and Patchpoints are still marked as experimental, and so this support
is doubly experimental. So go ahead and experiment!

221a7075cf Add the llvm.frameallocate and llvm.recoverframeallocation intrinsics
These intrinsics allow multiple functions to share a single stack
allocation from one function's call frame. The function with the
allocation may only perform one allocation, and it must be in the entry
block.

Functions accessing the allocation call llvm.recoverframeallocation with
the function whose frame they are accessing and a frame pointer from an
active call frame of that function.

These intrinsics are very difficult to inline correctly, so the
intention is that they be introduced rarely, or at least very late
during EH preparation.

f416d72973 IR: Add 'distinct' MDNodes to bitcode and assembly
Propagate whether `MDNode`s are 'distinct' through the other types of IR
(assembly and bitcode).  This adds the `distinct` keyword to assembly.

Currently, no one actually calls `MDNode::getDistinct()`, so these nodes
only get created for:

  - self-references, which are never uniqued, and
  - nodes whose operands are replaced that hit a uniquing collision.

The concept of distinct nodes is still not quite first-class, since
distinct-ness doesn't yet survive across `MapMetadata()`.

Part of PR22111.

f907a26bc2 Change the .ll syntax for comdats and add a syntactic sugar.
In order to make comdats always explicit in the IR, we decided to make
the syntax a bit more compact for the case of a GlobalObject in a
comdat with the same name.

Just dropping the $name causes problems for

@foo = globabl i32 0, comdat
$bar = comdat ...

and

declare void @foo() comdat
$bar = comdat ...

So the syntax is changed to

@g1 = globabl i32 0, comdat($c1)
@g2 = globabl i32 0, comdat

and

declare void @foo() comdat($c1)
declare void @foo() comdat

1ef70ff39b IR: Make metadata typeless in assembly
Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly.  These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.

  - Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
    intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.

  - Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
    when referencing it from call intrinsics.

So, assembly like this:

    define @foo(i32 %v) {
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
      ret void, !bar !2
    }
    !0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
    !1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
    !2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
    !3 = metadata !{}

turns into this:

    define @foo(i32 %v) {
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
      ret void, !bar !2
    }
    !0 = !{!2}
    !1 = !{i32* @global}
    !2 = !{!3}
    !3 = !{}

I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines).  I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.

This is part of PR21532.

70b0751080 InstrProf: An intrinsic and lowering for instrumentation based profiling
Introduce the ``llvm.instrprof_increment`` intrinsic and the
``-instrprof`` pass. These provide the infrastructure for writing
counters for profiling, as in clang's ``-fprofile-instr-generate``.

The implementation of the instrprof pass is ported directly out of the
CodeGenPGO classes in clang, and with the followup in clang that rips
that code out to use these new intrinsics this ends up being NFC.

Doing the instrumentation this way opens some doors in terms of
improving the counter performance. For example, this will make it
simple to experiment with alternate lowering strategies, and allows us
to try handling profiling specially in some optimizations if we want
to.

Finally, this drastically simplifies the frontend and puts all of the
lowering logic in one place.

bb660fc192 Prologue support
Patch by Ben Gamari!

This redefines the `prefix` attribute introduced previously and
introduces a `prologue` attribute.  There are a two primary usecases
that these attributes aim to serve,

  1. Function prologue sigils

  2. Function hot-patching: Enable the user to insert `nop` operations
     at the beginning of the function which can later be safely replaced
     with a call to some instrumentation facility

  3. Runtime metadata: Allow a compiler to insert data for use by the
     runtime during execution. GHC is one example of a compiler that
     needs this functionality for its tables-next-to-code functionality.

Previously `prefix` served cases (1) and (2) quite well by allowing the user
to introduce arbitrary data at the entrypoint but before the function
body. Case (3), however, was poorly handled by this approach as it
required that prefix data was valid executable code.

Here we redefine the notion of prefix data to instead be data which
occurs immediately before the function entrypoint (i.e. the symbol
address). Since prefix data now occurs before the function entrypoint,
there is no need for the data to be valid code.

The previous notion of prefix data now goes under the name "prologue
data" to emphasize its duality with the function epilogue.

The intention here is to handle cases (1) and (2) with prologue data and
case (3) with prefix data.

References
----------

This idea arose out of discussions[1] with Reid Kleckner in response to a
proposal to introduce the notion of symbol offsets to enable handling of
case (3).

This is the fourth and final patch in the statepoint series.  It contains the documentation for the statepoint intrinsics and their usage.  

There's definitely still room to improve the documentation here, but I wanted to get this landed so it was available for others.  There will likely be a series of small cleanup changes over the next few weeks as we work to clarify and revise the documentation.  If you have comments or questions, please feel free to discuss them either in this commit thread, the original review thread, or on llvmdev.  Comments are more than welcome.

d1940dcca7 Clarify wording in the LangRef around !invariant.load
Clarify the wording around !invariant.load to properly reflect the semantics of such loads with respect to control dependence and location lifetime.  To the best of my knowledge, the revised wording respects the actual implementation and understanding of issues involved highlighted in the recent 'Optimization hints for "constant" loads' thread on LLVMDev.  

In particular, I'm aiming for the following results:
- To clarify that an invariant.load can fault and must respect control dependence.  In particular, it is not sound to unconditionally pull an invariant load out of a loop if that loop would potentially never execute.  
- To clarify that the invariant nature of a given pointer does not preclude the modification of that location through a pointer which is unrelated to the load operand.  In particular, initializing a location and then passing a pointer through an opaque intrinsic which produces a new unrelated pointer, should behave as expected provided that the intrinsic is memory dependent on the initializing store.  
- To clarify that storing a value to an invariant location is defined.  It can not, for example, be considered unreachable.  The value stored can be assumed to be equal to the value of any previous (or following!) invariant load, but the store itself is defined.  

I recommend that anyone interested in using !invariant.load, or optimizing for them, read over the discussion in the review thread.  A number of motivating examples are discussed.

57ec3b5488 Clarify the description of the noalias attribute
The previous description of the noalias attribute did not accurately specify
the implemented semantics, and the terminology used differed unnecessarily
from that used by the C specification to define the semantics of restrict. For
the argument attribute, the semantics can be precisely specified in terms of
objects accessed through pointers based on the arguments, and this is now what
is done.

Saying that the semantics are 'slightly weaker' than that provided by C99
restrict is not really useful without further elaboration, so that has been
removed from the sentence.

noalias on a return value is really used to mean that the function is
malloc-like (and, in fact, we use this attribute to represent
__attribute__((malloc)) in Clang), and this is a stronger guarantee than that
provided by restrict (because it is a property of the pointed-to memory region,
not just a guarantee on object access). Clarifying this is relevant to fixing
(and was motivated by the discussion on) PR21556.

The newly introduced 'nonnull' metadata is analogous to existing 'nonnull' attributes, but applies to load instructions rather than call arguments or returns.  Long term, it would be nice to combine these into a single construct.   The value of the load is allowed to vary between successive loads, but null is not a valid value to be loaded by any load marked nonnull.

6c54948916 Update dwarf::ApplePropertyAttributes enum to meaningful values.
Summary:
We currently emit an DW_AT_APPLE_property_attribute with a value that is a
bitfield describing the various attributes applied to an ObjectiveC property.
While trying to add testing to one of my dwarfdump patches that would pretty
print that, I realized this information looks totally broken and has maybe
never been correct.

As with every DWARF info, we have some enum in Dwarf.h that describes this
attribute (enum ApplePropertyAttributes). It seems however that the attribute
value is set from another definition of these flags in Sema/DeclSpec.h (enum
ObjCPropertyAttributeKind). And these 2 enums aren't in sync.

This patch updates the Dwarf.h values to the ones we are (and have been for
a very long time) emitting. We change some publicly (and even documented
in SourceLevelDebugging.rst) values, but I doubt this could be an issue as
the information has been wrong for so long...

83902832de Revert "Revert "DI: Fold constant arguments into a single MDString""
This reverts commit r218918, effectively reapplying r218914 after fixing
an Ocaml bindings test and an Asan crash.  The root cause of the latter
was a tightened-up check in `DILexicalBlock::Verify()`, so I'll file a
PR to investigate who requires the loose check (and why).

Original commit message follows.

--

This patch addresses the first stage of PR17891 by folding constant
arguments together into a single MDString.  Integers are stringified and
a `\0` character is used as a separator.

Part of PR17891.

Note: I've attached my testcases upgrade scripts to the PR.  If I've
just broken your out-of-tree testcases, they might help.

02474a32eb Move the complex address expression out of DIVariable and into an extra
argument of the llvm.dbg.declare/llvm.dbg.value intrinsics.

Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.

By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.

The new intrinsics look like this:
declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)

This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect
and pretty-print DIExpression metadata nodes.

What this patch doesn't do:

This patch does not touch the "Indirect" field in DIVariable; but moving
that into the expression would be a natural next step.

394be6c159 LTO: introduce object file-based on-disk module format.
This format is simply a regular object file with the bitcode stored in a
section named ".llvmbc", plus any number of other (non-allocated) sections.

One immediate use case for this is to accommodate compilation processes
which expect the object file to contain metadata in non-allocated sections,
such as the ".go_export" section used by some Go compilers [1], although I
imagine that in the future we could consider compiling parts of the module
(such as large non-inlinable functions) directly into the object file to
improve LTO efficiency.

There is no functionality change here except in the way we assemble and

separate out the bits for musttail and "is forwarding varargs" on call
instructions. A musttail call by definition has to forward the ellipsis
or it would fail verification.

c7260209a8 Use DILexicalBlockFile, rather than DILexicalBlock, to track discriminator changes to ensure discriminator changes don't introduce new DWARF DW_TAG_lexical_blocks.
Somewhat unnoticed in the original implementation of discriminators, but
it could cause instructions to end up in new, small,
DW_TAG_lexical_blocks due to the use of DILexicalBlock to track
discriminator changes.

Instead, use DILexicalBlockFile which we already use to track file
changes without introducing new scopes, so it works well to track
discriminator changes in the same way.

2785e77db1 [lit] Add --show-xfail flag to LIT.
Summary:
This patch add a --show-xfail flag. If this flag is specified then each xfail test will be printed to output.
When it is not given xfail tests are ignored. Ignoring xfail tests is the current behavior.

This flag is meant to mirror the --show-unsupported flag that was recently added.

2a39c993eb Debug info: Infrastructure to support debug locations for fragmented
variables (for example, by-value struct arguments passed in registers, or
large integer values split across several smaller registers).
On the IR level, this adds a new type of complex address operation OpPiece
to DIVariable that describes size and offset of a variable fragment.
On the DWARF emitter level, all pieces describing the same variable are
collected, sorted and emitted as DWARF expressions using the DW_OP_piece
and DW_OP_bit_piece operators.

rdar://problem/15928306

What this patch doesn't do / Future work:
- This patch only adds the backend machinery to make this work, patches
  that change SROA and SelectionDAG's type legalizer to actually create
  such debug info will follow. (http://reviews.llvm.org/D2680)
- Making the DIVariable complex expressions into an argument of dbg.value
  will reduce the memory footprint of the debug metadata.
- The sorting/uniquing of pieces should be moved into DebugLocEntry,
  to facilitate the merging of multi-piece entries.

cdc41f5bcf docs: Strongly recommend setting rpath when using a local GCC toolchain
Users keep emailing us about the difficulties of getting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
into their environment, which should be completely unecessary. Try to
strengthen the rpath recommentation by putting in an example cmake
invocation.

Speaking of which, we might want to make CMake the recommended build
system in GettingStarted.html.
