This is probably not confined to *just* these two things.
Anyway, the llvm-gcc front-end may look up the structure layout information for
an abstract type. That information will be stored into a table with the FE's
TD. Instruction combine can come along and also ask for information on that
abstract type, but for a separate TD (the one associated with the pass manager).
After the type is refined, the old structure layout information in the pass
manager's TD file is out of date. If a new type is allocated in the same space
as the old-unrefined type, then the structure type information in the pass
manager's TD file will be wrong, but won't know it.
Fix this by making the TD's structure type information an abstract type user.

bootstrapping. It's not safe to leave identity subreg_to_reg and insert_subreg
around.
- Relax register scavenging to allow use of partially "not-live" registers. It's
common for targets to operate on registers where the top bits are undef. e.g.
s0 =
d0 = insert_subreg d0<undef>, s0, 1
...
= d0
When the insert_subreg is eliminated by the coalescer, the scavenger used to
complain. The previous fix was to keep to insert_subreg around. But that's
brittle and it's overly conservative when we want to use the scavenger to
allocate registers. It's actually legal and desirable for other instructions
to use the "undef" part of d0. e.g.
s0 =
d0 = insert_subreg d0<undef>, s0, 1
...
s1 =
= s1
= d0
We probably need add a "partial-undef" marker on machine operand so the
machine verifier would not complain.

and the constant stored there to PEI to track. When scavenging to allocate
for those registers, PEI then tracks the last-used register and value, and
if it is still available and matches the value for the next index, reuses
the existing value rather and removes the re-materialization instructions.

unused DECLARE instruction.
KILL is not yet used anywhere, it will replace TargetInstrInfo::IMPLICIT_DEF
in the places where IMPLICIT_DEF is just used to alter liveness of physical
registers.

For the AAPCS ABI, SP must always be 4-byte aligned, and at any "public
interface" it must be 8-byte aligned. For the older ARM APCS ABI, the stack
alignment is just always 4 bytes. For X86, we currently align SP at
entry to a function (e.g., to 16 bytes for Darwin), but no stack alignment
is needed at other times, such as for a leaf function.
After discussing this with Dan, I decided to go with the approach of adding
a new "TransientStackAlignment" field to TargetFrameInfo. This value
specifies the stack alignment that must be maintained even in between calls.
It defaults to 1 except for ARM, where it is 4. (Some other targets may
also want to set this if they have similar stack requirements. It's not
currently required for PPC because it sets targetHandlesStackFrameRounding
and handles the alignment in target-specific code.) The existing StackAlignment
value specifies the alignment upon entry to a function, which is how we've
been using it anyway.

feature, either build the JIT in debug mode to enable it by default or pass
-jit-emit-debug to lli.
Right now, the only debug information that this communicates to GDB is call
frame information, since it's already being generated to support exceptions in
the JIT. Eventually, when DWARF generation isn't tied so tightly to AsmPrinter,
it will be easy to push that information to GDB through this interface.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how the feature works:
- The JIT generates the machine code and DWARF call frame info
(.eh_frame/.debug_frame) for a function into memory.
- The JIT copies that info into an in-memory ELF file with a symbol for the
function.
- The JIT creates a code entry pointing to the ELF buffer and adds it to a
linked list hanging off of a global descriptor at a special symbol that GDB
knows about.
- The JIT calls a function marked noinline that GDB knows about and has put an
internal breakpoint in.
- GDB catches the breakpoint and reads the global descriptor to look for new
code.
- When sees there is new code, it reads the ELF from the inferior's memory and
adds it to itself as an object file.
- The JIT continues, and the next time we stop the program, we are able to
produce a proper backtrace.
Consider running the following program through the JIT:
#include <stdio.h>
void baz(short z) {
long w = z + 1;
printf("%d, %x\n", w, *((int*)NULL)); // SEGFAULT here
}
void bar(short y) {
int z = y + 1;
baz(z);
}
void foo(char x) {
short y = x + 1;
bar(y);
}
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
char x = 1;
foo(x);
}
Here is a backtrace before this patch:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
