Internalizing an individual comdat group member without also internalizing
the other members of the comdat can break comdat semantics. For example,
if a module contains a reference to an internalized comdat member, and the
linker chooses a comdat group from a different object file, this will break
the reference to the internalized member.
This change causes the internalizer to only internalize comdat members if all
other members of the comdat are not externally visible. Once a comdat group
has been fully internalized, there is no need to apply comdat rules to its
members; later optimization passes (e.g. globaldce) can legally drop individual
members of the comdat. So we drop the comdat attribute from all comdat members.

No in-tree alias analysis used this facility, and it was not called in
any particularly rigorous way, so it seems unlikely to be correct.
Note that one of the only stateful AA implementations in-tree,
GlobalsModRef is completely broken currently (and any AA passes like it
are equally broken) because Module AA passes are not effectively
invalidated when a function pass that fails to update the AA stack runs.
Ultimately, it doesn't seem like we know how we want to build stateful
AA, and until then trying to support and maintain correctness for an
untested API is essentially impossible. To that end, I'm planning to rip
out all of the update API. It can return if and when we need it and know
how to build it on top of the new pass manager and as part of *tested*
stateful AA implementations in the tree.

This change includes a fix for https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=499508#c3,
which required updating the visibility for symbols with eliminated definitions.
--Original Commit Message--
Add new EliminateAvailableExternally module pass, which is performed in
O2 compiles just before GlobalDCE, unless we are preparing for LTO.
This pass eliminates available externally globals (turning them into
declarations), regardless of whether they are dead/unreferenced, since
we are guaranteed to have a copy available elsewhere at link time.
This enables additional opportunities for GlobalDCE.
If we are preparing for LTO (e.g. a -flto -c compile), the pass is not
included as we want to preserve available externally functions for possible
link time inlining. The FE indicates whether we are doing an -flto compile
via the new PrepareForLTO flag on the PassManagerBuilder.

From the linker's perspective, an available_externally global is equivalent
to an external declaration (per isDeclarationForLinker()), so it is incorrect
to consider it to be a weak definition.
Also clean up some logic in the dead argument elimination pass and clarify
its comments to better explain how its behavior depends on linkage,
introduce GlobalValue::isStrongDefinitionForLinker() and start using
it throughout the optimizers and backend.

The PruneEH pass tries to annotate functions as 'noreturn' if it doesn't
see a ReturnInst. However, a naked function containing inline assembly
can contain control flow leaving the function.
This fixes PR23971.

It is possible for a global to be substituted with another global of a
different type or a different kind (i.e. an alias) at IR link time. One
example of this scenario is when a Microsoft ABI vtable is substituted with
an alias referring to a larger vtable containing an RTTI reference.
This will cause the global to be RAUW'd with a possibly bitcasted reference
to the other global. This will of course also affect any references to the
global in bitset metadata.
The right way to handle such metadata is simply to ignore it. This is sound
because the linked module should contain another copy of the bitset entries as
applied to the new global.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.

This patch adds the safe stack instrumentation pass to LLVM, which separates
the program stack into a safe stack, which stores return addresses, register
spills, and local variables that are statically verified to be accessed
in a safe way, and the unsafe stack, which stores everything else. Such
separation makes it much harder for an attacker to corrupt objects on the
safe stack, including function pointers stored in spilled registers and
return addresses. You can find more information about the safe stack, as
well as other parts of or control-flow hijack protection technique in our
OSDI paper on code-pointer integrity (http://dslab.epfl.ch/pubs/cpi.pdf)
and our project website (http://levee.epfl.ch).
The overhead of our implementation of the safe stack is very close to zero
(0.01% on the Phoronix benchmarks). This is lower than the overhead of
stack cookies, which are supported by LLVM and are commonly used today,
yet the security guarantees of the safe stack are strictly stronger than
stack cookies. In some cases, the safe stack improves performance due to
better cache locality.
Our current implementation of the safe stack is stable and robust, we
used it to recompile multiple projects on Linux including Chromium, and
we also recompiled the entire FreeBSD user-space system and more than 100
packages. We ran unit tests on the FreeBSD system and many of the packages
and observed no errors caused by the safe stack. The safe stack is also fully
binary compatible with non-instrumented code and can be applied to parts of
a program selectively.
This patch is our implementation of the safe stack on top of LLVM. The
patches make the following changes:
- Add the safestack function attribute, similar to the ssp, sspstrong and
sspreq attributes.
- Add the SafeStack instrumentation pass that applies the safe stack to all
functions that have the safestack attribute. This pass moves all unsafe local
variables to the unsafe stack with a separate stack pointer, whereas all
safe variables remain on the regular stack that is managed by LLVM as usual.
- Invoke the pass as the last stage before code generation (at the same time
the existing cookie-based stack protector pass is invoked).
- Add unit tests for the safe stack.

Lab at EPFL; updates and upstreaming by myself.

It is valid for globals to be unnamed, but aliases must have a name. To avoid
creating invalid IR, we need to assign names to any aliases we create that
point to unnamed objects that have been moved into combined globals.

If the first argument to a function is a 'this' argument and the second
has the sret attribute, the ArgumentPromotion pass may promote the 'this'
argument to more than one argument, violating the IR constraint that 'sret'
may only be applied to the first or second argument.
Although this IR constraint is arguably unnecessary, it highlighted the fact
that ArgPromotion does not need to preserve this attribute. Dropping the
attribute reduces register pressure in the backend by avoiding the register
copy required by sret. Because sret implies noalias, we also replace the
former with the latter.

that was resetting it.
Remove the uses of DisableTailCalls in subclasses of TargetLowering and use
the value of function attribute "disable-tail-calls" instead. Also,
unconditionally add pass TailCallElim to the pipeline and check the function
attribute at the start of runOnFunction to disable the pass on a per-function
basis.
This is part of the work to remove TargetMachine::resetTargetOptions, and since
DisableTailCalls was the last non-fast-math option that was being reset in that
function, we should be able to remove the function entirely after the work to
propagate IR-level fast-math flags to DAG nodes is completed.
Out-of-tree users should remove the uses of DisableTailCalls and make changes
to attach attribute "disable-tail-calls"="true" or "false" to the functions in
the IR.

We don't want to replace function A by Function B in one module and Function B

If these functions are marked with linkonce_odr we would end up with a function

the linker decides to pick these two we will have two stubs calling each other.

port it to the new pass manager.
All this does is extract the inner "location" class used by AA into its
own full fledged type. This seems *much* cleaner as MemoryDependence and
soon MemorySSA also use this heavily, and it doesn't make much sense
being inside the AA infrastructure.
This will also make it much easier to break apart the AA infrastructure
into something that stands on its own rather than using the analysis
group design.
There are a few places where this makes APIs not make sense -- they were
taking an AliasAnalysis pointer just to build locations. I'll try to
clean those up in follow-up commits.

Summary:
This is a pass for speculative execution of instructions for simple if-then (triangle) control flow. It's aimed at GPUs, but could perhaps be used in other contexts. Enabling this pass gives us a 1.0% geomean improvement on Google benchmark suites, with one benchmark improving 33%.
Credit goes to Jingyue Wu for writing an earlier version of this pass.
Patched by Bjarke Roune.
Test Plan:
This patch adds a set of tests in test/Transforms/SpeculativeExecution/spec.ll
The pass is controlled by a flag which defaults to having the pass not run.

Summary:
This implements the initial version as was proposed earlier this year
(http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-January/080462.html).
Since then Loop Access Analysis was split out from the Loop Vectorizer
and was made into a separate analysis pass. Loop Distribution becomes
the second user of this analysis.
The pass is off by default and can be enabled
with -enable-loop-distribution. There is currently no notion of
profitability; if there is a loop with dependence cycles, the pass will
try to split them off from other memory operations into a separate loop.
I decided to remove the control-dependence calculation from this first
version. This and the issues with the PDT are actively discussed so it
probably makes sense to treat it separately. Right now I just mark all
terminator instruction required which keeps identical CFGs for each
distributed loop. This seems to be working pretty well for 456.hmmer
where even though there is an empty if-then block in the distributed
loop initially, it gets completely removed.
The pass keeps DominatorTree and LoopInfo updated. I've tested this
with -loop-distribute-verify with the testsuite where we distribute ~90
loops. SimplifyLoop is violated in some cases and I have a FIXME
covering this.
