5ff5907996 [IR] Introduce a dereferenceable_or_null(N) attribute.
Summary:
If a pointer is marked as dereferenceable_or_null(N), LLVM assumes it
is either `null` or `dereferenceable(N)` or both.  This change only
introduces the attribute and adds a token test case for the `llvm-as`
/ `llvm-dis`.  It does not hook up other parts of the optimizer to
actually exploit the attribute -- those changes will come later.

For pointers in address space 0, `dereferenceable(N)` is now exactly
equivalent to `dereferenceable_or_null(N)` && `nonnull`.  For other
address spaces, `dereferenceable(N)` is potentially weaker than
`dereferenceable_or_null(N)` && `nonnull` (since we could have a null
`dereferenceable(N)` pointer).

The motivating case for this change is Java (and other managed
languages), where pointers are either `null` or dereferenceable up to
some usually known-at-compile-time constant offset.

88e419d66e DebugInfo: Remove 'inlinedAt:' field from MDLocalVariable
Remove 'inlinedAt:' from MDLocalVariable.  Besides saving some memory
(variables with it seem to be single largest `Metadata` contributer to
memory usage right now in -g -flto builds), this stops optimization and
backend passes from having to change local variables.

The 'inlinedAt:' field was used by the backend in two ways:

 1. To tell the backend whether and into what a variable was inlined.
 2. To create a unique id for each inlined variable.

Instead, rely on the 'inlinedAt:' field of the intrinsic's `!dbg`
attachment, and change the DWARF backend to use a typedef called
`InlinedVariable` which is `std::pair<MDLocalVariable*, MDLocation*>`.
This `DebugLoc` is already passed reliably through the backend (as
verified by r234021).

This commit removes the check from r234021, but I added a new check
(that will survive) in r235048, and changed the `DIBuilder` API in
r235041 to require a `!dbg` attachment whose 'scope:` is in the same
`MDSubprogram` as the variable's.

If this breaks your out-of-tree testcases, perhaps the script I used
(mdlocalvariable-drop-inlinedat.sh) will help; I'll attach it to PR22778
in a moment.

Summary:
The document is still incomplete in some degrees, but updated to reflect the
latest changes. Anyway we can detail it if any one think it is not enough. For
the sake of it, some useful examples are listed below:

Refer to r113618 "Add X86 MMX type to bitcode and Type" for how to add a new
type.

> One notable change from then is only one thing that ``lib/VMCore`` is renamed
to ``lib/IR``.

Refer to r194760 "Add addrspacecast instruction" for how to add a new
instruction.

a787066317 R600/SI: Initial support for assembler and inline assembly
This is currently considered experimental, but most of the more
commonly used instructions should work.

So far only SI has been extensively tested, CI and VI probably work too,
but may be buggy.  The current set of tests cases do not give complete
coverage, but I think it is sufficient for an experimental assembler.

See the documentation in R600Usage for more information.

903f4a2051 Implement unique sections with an unique ID.
This allows the compiler/assembly programmer to switch back to a
section. This in turn fixes the bootstrap failure on powerpc (tested
on gcc110) without changing the ppc codegen at all.

I will try to cleanup the various getELFSection overloads in a  followup patch.
Just using a default argument now would lead to ambiguities.

df4fd4fc4e [WinEH] Make llvm.eh.actions use frameescape indices for catch params
This makes it possible to use the same representation of llvm.eh.actions
in outlined handlers as we use in the parent function because i32's are
just constants that can be copied freely between functions.

I had to add a sentinel alloca to the list of child allocas so that we
don't try to sink the catch object into the handler. Normally, one would
use nullptr for this kind of thing, but TinyPtrVector doesn't support
null elements. More than that, it's elements have to have a suitable
alignment. Therefore, I settled on this for my sentinel:

  AllocaInst *getCatchObjectSentinel() {
    return static_cast<AllocaInst *>(nullptr) + 1;
  }

64386621ec [WinEH] Generate .xdata for catch handlers
This lets us catch exceptions in simple cases.

N.B. Things that do not work include (but are not limited to):
- Throwing from within a catch handler.
- Catching an object with a named catch parameter.
- 'CatchHigh' is fictitious, we aren't sure of its purpose.
- We aren't entirely efficient with regards to the number of EH states
  that we generate.
- IP-to-State tables are sensitive to the order of emission.

784545fba0 [ADT][CMake][AutoConf] Fail-fast iterators for DenseMap
Summary:
This patch is an attempt at making `DenseMapIterator`s "fail-fast".
Fail-fast iterators that have been invalidated due to insertion into
the host `DenseMap` deterministically trip an assert (in debug mode)
on access, instead of non-deterministically hitting memory corruption
issues.

Enabling fail-fast iterators breaks the LLVM C++ ABI, so they are
predicated on `LLVM_ENABLE_ABI_BREAKING_CHECKS`.
`LLVM_ENABLE_ABI_BREAKING_CHECKS` by default flips with
`LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTS`, but can be clamped to ON or OFF using the CMake /
autoconf build system.

994b4c784f Introduce runtime unrolling disable matadata and use it to mark the scalar loop from vectorization.
Runtime unrolling is an expensive optimization which can bring benefit
only if the loop is hot and iteration number is relatively large enough.
For some loops, we know they are not worth to be runtime unrolled.
The scalar loop from vectorization is one of the cases.

9c28314a68 Make llvm.eh.begincatch use an outparam
Ultimately, __CxxFrameHandler3 needs us to put a stack offset in a
table, and it will take responsibility for copying the exception object
into that slot. Modelling the exception object as an SSA value returned
by begincatch isn't going to work in general, so make it use an output
parameter.

b056aa798d DebugInfo: Move new hierarchy into place
Move the specialized metadata nodes for the new debug info hierarchy
into place, finishing off PR22464.  I've done bootstraps (and all that)
and I'm confident this commit is NFC as far as DWARF output is
concerned.  Let me know if I'm wrong :).

The code changes are fairly mechanical:

  - Bumped the "Debug Info Version".
  - `DIBuilder` now creates the appropriate subclass of `MDNode`.
  - Subclasses of DIDescriptor now expect to hold their "MD"
    counterparts (e.g., `DIBasicType` expects `MDBasicType`).
  - Deleted a ton of dead code in `AsmWriter.cpp` and `DebugInfo.cpp`
    for printing comments.
  - Big update to LangRef to describe the nodes in the new hierarchy.
    Feel free to make it better.

Testcase changes are enormous.  There's an accompanying clang commit on
its way.

If you have out-of-tree debug info testcases, I just broke your build.

  - `upgrade-specialized-nodes.sh` is attached to PR22564.  I used it to
    update all the IR testcases.
  - Unfortunately I failed to find way to script the updates to CHECK
    lines, so I updated all of these by hand.  This was fairly painful,
    since the old CHECKs are difficult to reason about.  That's one of
    the benefits of the new hierarchy.

This work isn't quite finished, BTW.  The `DIDescriptor` subclasses are
almost empty wrappers, but not quite: they still have loose casting
checks (see the `RETURN_FROM_RAW()` macro).  Once they're completely
gutted, I'll rename the "MD" classes to "DI" and kill the wrappers.  I
also expect to make a few schema changes now that it's easier to reason
about everything.

As mentioned on llvm-dev, this is a new documentation page intended to collect tips for frontend authors on how to generate IR that LLVM is able to optimize well. These types of things come up repeated in review threads and it would be good to have a place to save them.

I added a small handful to start us off, but I mostly want to get the framework in place. Once the docs are here, we can add to them incrementally.  If you know of something appropriate for this page, please add it!

5a81e14385 Introduce bitset metadata format and bitset lowering pass.
This patch introduces a new mechanism that allows IR modules to co-operatively
build pointer sets corresponding to addresses within a given set of
globals. One particular use case for this is to allow a C++ program to
efficiently verify (at each call site) that a vtable pointer is in the set
of valid vtable pointers for the class or its derived classes. One way of
doing this is for a toolchain component to build, for each class, a bit set
that maps to the memory region allocated for the vtables, such that each 1
bit in the bit set maps to a valid vtable for that class, and lay out the
vtables next to each other, to minimize the total size of the bit sets.

The patch introduces a metadata format for representing pointer sets, an
'@llvm.bitset.test' intrinsic and an LTO lowering pass that lays out the globals
and builds the bitsets, and documents the new feature.

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.

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.

708bc15ff0 Require python 2.7.
We were already requiring 2.5, which meant that people on old linux distros
had to upgrade anyway.

Requiring python 2.6 will make supporting 3.X easier as we can use the 3.X
exception syntax.

According to the discussion on llvmdev, there is not much value is requiring
just 2.6, we may as well just require 2.7.

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.
