MSVC always places the 'this' parameter for a method first. The
implicit 'sret' pointer for methods always comes second. We already
implement this for __thiscall by putting sret parameters on the stack,
but __cdecl methods require putting both parameters on the stack in
opposite order.
Using a special calling convention allows frontends to keep the sret
parameter first, which avoids breaking lots of assumptions in LLVM and
Clang.
Fixes PR15768 with the corresponding change in Clang.

This patch adds two new target-independent calling conventions for runtime
calls - PreserveMost and PreserveAll.
The target-specific implementation for X86-64 is defined as following:
- Arguments are passed as for the default C calling convention
- The same applies for the return value(s)
- PreserveMost preserves all GPRs - except R11
- PreserveAll preserves all GPRs and all XMMs/YMMs - except R11

The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI. It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied. This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.
This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification. It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.
When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

The idea of the AnyReg Calling Convention is to provide the call arguments in
registers, but not to force them to be placed in a paticular order into a
specified set of registers. Instead it is up tp the register allocator to assign
any register as it sees fit. The same applies to the return value (if
applicable).

linkonce_odr_auto_hide was in incomplete attempt to implement a way
for the linker to hide symbols that are known to be available in every
TU and whose addresses are not relevant for a particular DSO.
It was redundant in that it all its uses are equivalent to
linkonce_odr+unnamed_addr. Unlike those, it has never been connected
to clang or llvm's optimizers, so it was effectively dead.
Given that nothing produces it, this patch just nukes it
(other than the llvm-c enum value).

Summary:
This patch adds explicit calling convention types for the Win64 and
System V/x86-64 ABIs. This allows code to override the default, and use
the Win64 convention on a target that wants to use SysV (and
vice-versa). This is needed to implement the `ms_abi` and `sysv_abi` GNU
attributes.

These are two related changes (one in llvm, one in clang).
LLVM:
- rename address_safety => sanitize_address (the enum value is the same, so we preserve binary compatibility with old bitcode)
- rename thread_safety => sanitize_thread
- rename no_uninitialized_checks -> sanitize_memory
CLANG:
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_address)) as a synonym for __attribute__((no_address_safety_analysis))
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_thread))

Attribute groups are of the form:
#0 = attributes { noinline "no-sse" "cpu"="cortex-a8" alignstack=4 }
Target-dependent attributes are represented as strings. Attributes can have
optional values associated with them. E.g., the "cpu" attribute has the value
"cortex-a8".
Target-independent attributes are listed as enums inside the attribute classes.
Multiple attribute groups can be referenced by the same object. In that case,
the attributes are merged together.

SSPStrong applies a heuristic to insert stack protectors in these situations:
* A Protector is required for functions which contain an array, regardless of
type or length.
* A Protector is required for functions which contain a structure/union which
contains an array, regardless of type or length. Note, there is no limit to
the depth of nesting.
* A protector is required when the address of a local variable (i.e., stack
based variable) is exposed. (E.g., such as through a local whose address is
taken as part of the RHS of an assignment or a local whose address is taken as
part of a function argument.)
This patch implements the SSPString attribute to be equivalent to
SSPRequired. This will change in a subsequent patch.

make it more consistent with its intended semantics.
The `linker_private_weak_def_auto' linkage type was meant to automatically hide
globals which never had their addresses taken. It has nothing to do with the
`linker_private' linkage type, which outputs the symbols with a `l' (ell) prefix
among other things.
The intended semantic is more like the `linkonce_odr' linkage type.
Change the name of the linkage type to `linkonce_odr_auto_hide'. And therefore
changing the semantics so that it produces the correct output for the linker.
Note: The old linkage name `linker_private_weak_def_auto' will still parse but
is not a synonym for `linkonce_odr_auto_hide'. This should be removed in 4.0.

This new attribute is intended to be used by the backend to determine how
the inline asm string should be parsed/printed. This patch adds the
ia_nsdialect attribute and also adds a test case to ensure the IR is
correctly parsed, but there is no functional change at this time.
The standard dialect is assumed to be AT&T. Therefore, this attribute
should only be added to MS-style inline assembly statements, which use
the Intel dialect. If we ever support more dialects we'll need to
add additional state to the attribute.

This allows the user/front-end to specify a model that is better
than what LLVM would choose by default. For example, a variable
might be declared as
@x = thread_local(initialexec) global i32 42
if it will not be used in a shared library that is dlopen'ed.
If the specified model isn't supported by the target, or if LLVM can
make a better choice, a different model may be used.

Problem: LLVM needs more function attributes than currently available (32 bits).
One such proposed attribute is "address_safety", which shows that a function is being checked for address safety (by AddressSanitizer, SAFECode, etc).
Solution:
- extend the Attributes from 32 bits to 64-bits
- wrap the object into a class so that unsigned is never erroneously used instead
- change "unsigned" to "Attributes" throughout the code, including one place in clang.
- the class has no "operator uint64 ()", but it has "uint64_t Raw() " to support packing/unpacking.
- the class has "safe operator bool()" to support the common idiom: if (Attributes attr = getAttrs()) useAttrs(attr);
- The CTOR from uint64_t is marked explicit, so I had to add a few explicit CTOR calls
- Add the new attribute "address_safety". Doing it in the same commit to check that attributes beyond first 32 bits actually work.
- Some of the functions from the Attribute namespace are worth moving inside the class, but I'd prefer to have it as a separate commit.
Tested:
"make check" on Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Mac (10.6)
built/run spec CPU 2006 on Linux with clang -O2.
This change will break clang build in lib/CodeGen/CGCall.cpp.
The following patch will fix it.

This implements the 'landingpad' instruction. It's used to indicate that a basic
block is a landing pad. There are several restrictions on its use (see
LangRef.html for more detail). These restrictions allow the exception handling
code to gather the information it needs in a much more sane way.
This patch has the definition, implementation, C interface, parsing, and bitcode
support in it.

This adds the 'resume' instruction class, IR parsing, and bitcode reading and
writing. The 'resume' instruction resumes propagation of an existing (in-flight)
exception whose unwinding was interrupted with a 'landingpad' instruction (to be
added later).

'atomicrmw' instructions, which allow representing all the current atomic
rmw intrinsics.
The allowed operands for these instructions are heavily restricted at the
moment; we can probably loosen it a bit, but supporting general
first-class types (where it makes sense) might get a bit complicated,
given how SelectionDAG works.
As an initial cut, these operations do not support specifying an alignment,
but it would be possible to add if we think it's useful. Specifying an
alignment lower than the natural alignment would be essentially
impossible to support on anything other than x86, but specifying a greater
alignment would be possible. I can't think of any useful optimizations which
would use that information, but maybe someone else has ideas.
Optimizer/codegen support coming soon.

optimizations when emitting calls to the function; instead those calls may
use faster relocations which require the function to be immediately resolved
upon loading the dynamic object featuring the call. This is useful when it
is known that the function will be called frequently and pervasively and
therefore there is no merit in delaying binding of the function.
Currently only implemented for x86-64, where it turns into a call through
the global offset table.
