This reflects the typelessness of `Metadata` in the bitcode format,
removing types from all metadata operands.
`METADATA_VALUE` represents a `ValueAsMetadata`, and always has two
fields: the type and the value.
`METADATA_NODE` represents an `MDNode`, and unlike `METADATA_OLD_NODE`,
doesn't store types. It stores operands at their ID+1 so that `0` can
reference `nullptr` operands.

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

When lazy reading a module, the types used in a function will not be visible to
a TypeFinder until the body is read.
This patch fixes that by asking the module for its identified struct types.
If a materializer is present, the module asks it. If not, it uses a TypeFinder.
This fixes pr21374.
I will be the first to say that this is ugly, but it was the best I could find.
Some of the options I looked at:
* Asking the LLVMContext. This could be made to work for gold, but not currently
for ld64. ld64 will load multiple modules into a single context before merging
them. This causes us to see types from future merges. Unfortunately,
MappedTypes is not just a cache when it comes to opaque types. Once the
mapping has been made, we have to remember it for as long as the key may
be used. This would mean moving MappedTypes to the Linker class and having
to drop the Linker::LinkModules static methods, which are visible from C.
* Adding an option to ignore function bodies in the TypeFinder. This would
fix the PR by picking the worst result. It would work, but unfortunately
we are currently quite dependent on the upfront type merging. I will
try to reduce our dependency, but it is not clear that we will be able
to get rid of it for now.
The only clean solution I could think of is making the Module own the types.
This would have other advantages, but it is a much bigger change. I will
propose it, but it is nice to have this fixed while that is discussed.
With the gold plugin, this patch takes the number of types in the LTO clang
binary from 52817 to 49669.

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.

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).

To do this, change the representation of lazy loaded functions.
The previous representation cannot differentiate between a function whose body
has been removed and one whose body hasn't been read from the .bc file. That
means that in order to drop a function, the entire body had to be read.

The function deleteBody() converts the linkage to external and thus destroys
original linkage type value. Lack of correct linkage type causes wrong
relocations to be emitted later.

The attached patch simplifies a few interfaces that don't need to take

For example, both parseAssembly and parseBitcodeFile will parse the

there is no ownership transfer.

Block address forward-references are implemented by creating a
`BasicBlock` ahead of time that gets inserted in the `Function` when
it's eventually encountered.
However, if the same blockaddress was used in two separate functions
that were parsed *before* the referenced function (and the blockaddress
was never used at global scope), two separate basic blocks would get
created, one of which would be forgotten creating invalid IR.
This commit changes the forward-reference logic to create only one basic
block (and always return the same blockaddress).

This is an off-by-one bug I found by inspection, which would only
trigger if the bitcode writer sees more uses of a `Value` than the
reader. Since this is only relevant when an instruction gets upgraded
somehow, there unfortunately isn't a reasonable way to add test
coverage.

`BasicBlockFwdRefs` (and `BlockAddrFwdRefs` before it) was being emptied
in a non-deterministic order. When predicting use-list order I've
worked around this another way, but even when parsing lazily (and we
can't recreate use-list order) use-lists should be deterministic.
Make them so by using a side-queue of functions with forward-referenced
blocks that gets visited in order.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@214899 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
`parseBitcodeFile()` uses the generic `getLazyBitcodeFile()` function as
a helper. Since `parseBitcodeFile()` isn't actually lazy -- it calls
`MaterializeAllPermanently()` -- bypass the unnecessary call to
`materializeForwardReferencedFunctions()` by extracting out a common
helper function. This removes the last of the use-list churn caused by
blockaddresses.
This highlights that we can't reproduce use-list order of globals and
constants when parsing lazily -- but that's necessarily out of scope.
When we're parsing lazily, we never have all the functions in memory, so
the use-lists of globals (and constants that reference globals) are
always incomplete.
This is part of PR5680.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@214581 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Now that we can reliably handle forward references to `BlockAddress`
(r214563), change the mechanics to simplify predicting use-list order.
Previously, we created dummy `GlobalVariable`s to represent block
addresses. After every function was materialized, we'd go through any
forward references to its blocks and RAUW them with a proper
`BlockAddress` constant. This causes some (potentially a lot of)
unnecessary use-list churn, since any constant expression that it's a
part of will need to be rematerialized as well.
Instead, pre-construct a `BasicBlock` immediately -- without attaching
it to its (empty) `Function` -- and use that to construct a
`BlockAddress`. This constant will not have to be regenerated. When
the function body is parsed, hook this pre-constructed basic block up
in the right place using `BasicBlock::insertInto()`.
Both before and after this change, the IR is temporarily in an invalid
state that gets resolved when `materializeForwardReferencedFunctions()`
gets called.
This is a prep commit that's part of PR5680, but the only functionality
change is the reduction of churn in the constant pool.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@214570 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
`BlockAddress`es are interesting in that they can reference basic blocks
from *outside* the block's function. Since basic blocks are not global
values, this presents particular challenges for lazy parsing.
One corner case was found in PR11677 and fixed in r147425. In that
case, a global variable references a block address. It's necessary to
load the relevant function to resolve the forward reference before doing
anything with the module.
By inspection, I found (and have fixed here) two other cases:
- An instruction from one function references a block address from
another function, and only the first function is lazily loaded.
I fixed this the same way as PR11677: by eagerly loading the
referenced function.
- A function whose block address is taken is dematerialized, leaving
invalid references to it.
I fixed this by refusing to dematerialize functions whose block
addresses are taken (if you have to load it, you can't unload it).

Predict and serialize use-list order in bitcode. This makes the option
`-preserve-bc-use-list-order` work *most* of the time, but this is still
experimental.
- Builds a full value-table up front in the writer, sets up a list of
use-list orders to write out, and discards the table. This is a
simpler first step than determining the order from the various
overlapping IDs of values on-the-fly.
- The shuffles stored in the use-list order list have an unnecessarily
large memory footprint.
- `blockaddress` expressions cause functions to be materialized
out-of-order. For now I've ignored this problem, so use-list orders
will be wrong for constants used by functions that have block
addresses taken. There are a couple of ways to fix this, but I
don't have a concrete plan yet.
- When materializing functions lazily, the use-lists for constants
will not be correct. This use case is out of scope: what should the
use-list order be, if it's incomplete?
This is part of PR5680.

This attribute indicates that the parameter or return pointer is
dereferenceable. Practically speaking, loads from such a pointer within the
associated byte range are safe to speculatively execute. Such pointer
parameters are common in source languages (C++ references, for example).

Currently the only kind of integer IR attributes that we have are alignment
attributes, and so the attribute kind that takes an integer parameter is called
AlignAttr, but that will change (we'll soon be adding a dereferenceable
attribute that also takes an integer value). Accordingly, rename AlignAttribute
to IntAttribute (class names, enums, etc.).

This was an oversight in the original support. As it is, I stuffed this
bit into the alignment. The alignment is stored in log2 form, so it
doesn't need more than 5 bits, given that Value::MaximumAlignment is 1
