Updates the object buffer ownership scheme in jitLinkForOrc and related
functions: Ownership of both the object::ObjectFile and underlying
MemoryBuffer is passed into jitLinkForOrc and passed back to the onEmit
callback once linking is complete. This avoids the use-after-free errors
that were seen in 98f2bb44610.
MCTargetOptionsCommandFlags.inc and CommandFlags.inc are headers which contain
cl::opt with static storage.
These headers are meant to be incuded by tools to make it easier to parametrize
codegen/mc.
However, these headers are also included in at least two libraries: lldCommon
and handle-llvm. As a result, when creating DYLIB, clang-cpp holds a reference
to the options, and lldCommon holds another reference. Linking the two in a
single executable, as zig does[0], results in a double registration.
This patch explores an other approach: the .inc files are moved to regular
files, and the registration happens on-demand through static declaration of
options in the constructor of a static object.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D75838
The GenericLLVMIRPlatformSupport class runs a transform on all LLVM IR added to
the LLJIT instance to replace instances of llvm.global_ctors with a specially
named function that runs the corresponing static initializers (See
(GlobalCtorDtorScraper from lib/ExecutionEngine/Orc/LLJIT.cpp). This patch
updates the GenericIRPlatform class to check for this specially named function
in other materialization units that are added to the JIT and, if found, add
the function to the initializer work queue. Doing this allows object files
that were compiled from IR and cached to be reloaded in subsequent JIT sessions
without their initializers being skipped.
To enable testing this patch also updates the lli tool's -jit-kind=orc-lazy mode
to respect the -enable-cache-manager and -object-cache-dir options, and modifies
the CompileOnDemandLayer to rename extracted submodules to include a hash of the
names of their symbol definitions. This allows a simple object caching scheme
based on module names (which was already implemented in lli) to work with the
lazy JIT.
Initializers and deinitializers are used to implement C++ static constructors
and destructors, runtime registration for some languages (e.g. with the
Objective-C runtime for Objective-C/C++ code) and other tasks that would
typically be performed when a shared-object/dylib is loaded or unloaded by a
statically compiled program.
MCJIT and ORC have historically provided limited support for discovering and
running initializers/deinitializers by scanning the llvm.global_ctors and
llvm.global_dtors variables and recording the functions to be run. This approach
suffers from several drawbacks: (1) It only works for IR inputs, not for object
files (including cached JIT'd objects). (2) It only works for initializers
described by llvm.global_ctors and llvm.global_dtors, however not all
initializers are described in this way (Objective-C, for example, describes
initializers via specially named metadata sections). (3) To make the
initializer/deinitializer functions described by llvm.global_ctors and
llvm.global_dtors searchable they must be promoted to extern linkage, polluting
the JIT symbol table (extra care must be taken to ensure this promotion does
not result in symbol name clashes).
This patch introduces several interdependent changes to ORCv2 to support the
construction of new initialization schemes, and includes an implementation of a
backwards-compatible llvm.global_ctor/llvm.global_dtor scanning scheme, and a
MachO specific scheme that handles Objective-C runtime registration (if the
Objective-C runtime is available) enabling execution of LLVM IR compiled from
Objective-C and Swift.
The major changes included in this patch are:
(1) The MaterializationUnit and MaterializationResponsibility classes are
extended to describe an optional "initializer" symbol for the module (see the
getInitializerSymbol method on each class). The presence or absence of this
symbol indicates whether the module contains any initializers or
deinitializers. The initializer symbol otherwise behaves like any other:
searching for it triggers materialization.
(2) A new Platform interface is introduced in llvm/ExecutionEngine/Orc/Core.h
which provides the following callback interface:
- Error setupJITDylib(JITDylib &JD): Can be used to install standard symbols
in JITDylibs upon creation. E.g. __dso_handle.
- Error notifyAdding(JITDylib &JD, const MaterializationUnit &MU): Generally
used to record initializer symbols.
- Error notifyRemoving(JITDylib &JD, VModuleKey K): Used to notify a platform
that a module is being removed.
Platform implementations can use these callbacks to track outstanding
initializers and implement a platform-specific approach for executing them. For
example, the MachOPlatform installs a plugin in the JIT linker to scan for both
__mod_inits sections (for C++ static constructors) and ObjC metadata sections.
If discovered, these are processed in the usual platform order: Objective-C
registration is carried out first, then static initializers are executed,
ensuring that calls to Objective-C from static initializers will be safe.
This patch updates LLJIT to use the new scheme for initialization. Two
LLJIT::PlatformSupport classes are implemented: A GenericIR platform and a MachO
platform. The GenericIR platform implements a modified version of the previous
llvm.global-ctor scraping scheme to provide support for Windows and
Linux. LLJIT's MachO platform uses the MachOPlatform class to provide MachO
specific initialization as described above.

Passing '-dlopen <library-path>' to lli will cause the specified library to be
loaded (via llvm::sys::DynamicLibrary::LoadLibraryPermanently) before JIT'd code
is executed, making the library's symbols accessible to JIT'd code.
This is how it should've been and brings it more in line with
std::string_view. There should be no functional change here.
This is mostly mechanical from a custom clang-tidy check, with a lot of
manual fixups. It uncovers a lot of minor inefficiencies.
This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
This commit adds a ManglingOptions struct to IRMaterializationUnit, and replaces
IRCompileLayer::CompileFunction with a new IRCompileLayer::IRCompiler class. The
ManglingOptions struct defines the emulated-TLS state (via a bool member,
EmulatedTLS, which is true if emulated-TLS is enabled and false otherwise). The
IRCompileLayer::IRCompiler class wraps an IRCompiler (the same way that the
CompileFunction typedef used to), but adds a method to return the
IRCompileLayer::ManglingOptions that the compiler will use.
These changes allow us to correctly determine the symbols that will be produced
when a thread local global variable defined at the IR level is compiled with or
without emulated TLS. This is required for ORCv2, where MaterializationUnits
must declare their interface up-front.
Most ORCv2 clients should not require any changes. Clients writing custom IR
compilers will need to wrap their compiler in an IRCompileLayer::IRCompiler,
rather than an IRCompileLayer::CompileFunction, however this should be a
straightforward change (see modifications to CompileUtils.* in this patch for an
example).
This patch makes the target triple available via the LLJIT interface, and moves
the IRTransformLayer from LLLazyJIT down into LLJIT. Together these changes make
it easier to use the lazyReexports utility with LLJIT, and to apply IR
transforms to code as it is compiled in LLJIT (rather than requiring transforms
to be applied manually before code is added). An code example is added in
llvm/examples/LLJITExamples/LLJITWithLazyReexports
This fixes an off-by-one error in the argc value computed by runAsMain, and
switches lli back to using the input bitcode (rather than the string "lli") as
the effective program name.
Thanks to Stefan Graenitz for spotting the bug.
If JIT'd code fails to define a main function and we import the process's
definition then we will end up recursively calling lli's main until we overflow
the stack and crash. This filter fixes the issue by ensuring that the process's
main function is never imported. This results in lli producing a much friendlier
"symbol not found" error when JIT'd code fails to define main.
The runAsMain function takes a pointer to a function with a standard C main
signature, int(*)(int, char*[]), and invokes it using the given arguments and
program name. The arguments are copied into writable temporary storage as
required by the C and C++ specifications, so runAsMain safe to use when calling
main functions that modify their arguments in-place.
This patch also uses the new runAsMain function to replace hand-rolled versions
in lli, llvm-jitlink, and the SpeculativeJIT example.
This fixes:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: vtable for llvm::orc::rpc::ResponseAbandoned
>>> referenced by lli.cpp
In -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=on builds, all directly referenced references must
be linked to appease -Wl,-z,defs.
Summary:
When createing an ORC remote JIT target the current library split forces the target process to link large portions of LLVM (Core, Execution Engine, JITLink, Object, MC, Passes, RuntimeDyld, Support, Target, and TransformUtils). This occurs because the ORC RPC interfaces rely on the static globals the ORC Error types require, which starts a cycle of pulling in more and more.
This patch breaks the ORC RPC Error implementations out into an "OrcError" library which only depends on LLVM Support. It also pulls the ORC RPC headers into their own subdirectory.
With this patch code can include the Orc/RPC/*.h headers and will only incur link dependencies on LLVMOrcError and LLVMSupport.

Summary:
rL367756 (f5c40cb) increases the dependency of LLVMOrcJIT on LLVMPasses.
In particular, symbols defined in LLVMPasses that are referenced by the
destructor of `PassBuilder` are now referenced by LLVMOrcJIT through
`Speculation.cpp.o`.
We believe that referencing symbols defined in LLVMPasses in the
destructor of `PassBuilder` is valid, and that adding to the set of such
symbols is legitimate. To support such cases, this patch adds LLVMPasses
to the set of libraries being linked when linking in LLVMOrcJIT causes
such symbols from LLVMPasses to be referenced.

ThreadSafeModule/ThreadSafeContext are used to manage lifetimes and locking
for LLVMContexts in ORCv2. Prior to this patch contexts were locked as soon
as an associated Module was emitted (to be compiled and linked), and were not
unlocked until the emit call returned. This could lead to deadlocks if
interdependent modules that shared contexts were compiled on different threads:
when, during emission of the first module, the dependence was discovered the
second module (which would provide the required symbol) could not be emitted as
the thread emitting the first module still held the lock.
This patch eliminates this possibility by moving to a finer-grained locking
scheme. Each client holds the module lock only while they are actively operating
on it. To make this finer grained locking simpler/safer to implement this patch
removes the explicit lock method, 'getContextLock', from ThreadSafeModule and
replaces it with a new method, 'withModuleDo', that implicitly locks the context,
calls a user-supplied function object to operate on the Module, then implicitly
unlocks the context before returning the result.
ThreadSafeModule TSM = getModule(...);
size_t NumFunctions = TSM.withModuleDo(
[](Module &M) { // <- context locked before entry to lambda.
return M.size();
});
Existing ORCv2 layers that operate on ThreadSafeModules are updated to use the
new method.
This method is used to introduce Module locking into each of the existing
layers.

Summary:
JITLink is a jit-linker that performs the same high-level task as RuntimeDyld:
it parses relocatable object files and makes their contents runnable in a target
process.
JITLink aims to improve on RuntimeDyld in several ways:
(1) A clear design intended to maximize code-sharing while minimizing coupling.
RuntimeDyld has been developed in an ad-hoc fashion for a number of years and
this had led to intermingling of code for multiple architectures (e.g. in
RuntimeDyldELF::processRelocationRef) in a way that makes the code more
difficult to read, reason about, extend. JITLink is designed to isolate
format and architecture specific code, while still sharing generic code.
(2) Support for native code models.
RuntimeDyld required the use of large code models (where calls to external
functions are made indirectly via registers) for many of platforms due to its
restrictive model for stub generation (one "stub" per symbol). JITLink allows
arbitrary mutation of the atom graph, allowing both GOT and PLT atoms to be
added naturally.
(3) Native support for asynchronous linking.
JITLink uses asynchronous calls for symbol resolution and finalization: these
callbacks are passed a continuation function that they must call to complete the
linker's work. This allows for cleaner interoperation with the new concurrent
ORC JIT APIs, while still being easily implementable in synchronous style if
asynchrony is not needed.
To maximise sharing, the design has a hierarchy of common code:
(1) Generic atom-graph data structure and algorithms (e.g. dead stripping and
| memory allocation) that are intended to be shared by all architectures.
|
+ -- (2) Shared per-format code that utilizes (1), e.g. Generic MachO to
| atom-graph parsing.
|
+ -- (3) Architecture specific code that uses (1) and (2). E.g.
JITLinkerMachO_x86_64, which adds x86-64 specific relocation
support to (2) to build and patch up the atom graph.
To support asynchronous symbol resolution and finalization, the callbacks for
these operations take continuations as arguments:
using JITLinkAsyncLookupContinuation =
std::function<void(Expected<AsyncLookupResult> LR)>;
using JITLinkAsyncLookupFunction =
std::function<void(const DenseSet<StringRef> &Symbols,
JITLinkAsyncLookupContinuation LookupContinuation)>;
using FinalizeContinuation = std::function<void(Error)>;
virtual void finalizeAsync(FinalizeContinuation OnFinalize);
In addition to its headline features, JITLink also makes other improvements:
- Dead stripping support: symbols that are not used (e.g. redundant ODR
definitions) are discarded, and take up no memory in the target process
(In contrast, RuntimeDyld supported pointer equality for weak definitions,
but the redundant definitions stayed resident in memory).
- Improved exception handling support. JITLink provides a much more extensive
eh-frame parser than RuntimeDyld, and is able to correctly fix up many
eh-frame sections that RuntimeDyld currently (silently) fails on.
- More extensive validation and error handling throughout.
This initial patch supports linking MachO/x86-64 only. Work on support for
other architectures and formats will happen in-tree.

Recommit r352791 after tweaking DerivedTypes.h slightly, so that gcc
doesn't choke on it, hopefully.
Original Message:
The FunctionCallee type is effectively a {FunctionType*,Value*} pair,
and is a useful convenience to enable code to continue passing the
result of getOrInsertFunction() through to EmitCall, even once pointer
types lose their pointee-type.
Then:
- update the CallInst/InvokeInst instruction creation functions to
take a Callee,
- modify getOrInsertFunction to return FunctionCallee, and
- update all callers appropriately.
One area of particular note is the change to the sanitizer
code. Previously, they had been casting the result of
`getOrInsertFunction` to a `Function*` via
`checkSanitizerInterfaceFunction`, and storing that. That would report
an error if someone had already inserted a function declaraction with
a mismatching signature.
However, in general, LLVM allows for such mismatches, as
`getOrInsertFunction` will automatically insert a bitcast if
needed. As part of this cleanup, cause the sanitizer code to do the
same. (It will call its functions using the expected signature,
however they may have been declared.)
Finally, in a small number of locations, callers of
`getOrInsertFunction` actually were expecting/requiring that a brand
new function was being created. In such cases, I've switched them to
Function::Create instead.

In the new scheme the client passes a list of (JITDylib&, bool) pairs, rather

compilation of IR in the JIT.
ThreadSafeContext is a pair of an LLVMContext and a mutex that can be used to
lock that context when it needs to be accessed from multiple threads.
ThreadSafeModule is a pair of a unique_ptr<Module> and a
shared_ptr<ThreadSafeContext>. This allows the lifetime of a ThreadSafeContext
to be managed automatically in terms of the ThreadSafeModules that refer to it:
Once all modules using a ThreadSafeContext are destructed, and providing the
client has not held on to a copy of shared context pointer, the context will be
automatically destructed.
This scheme is necessary due to the following constraits: (1) We need multiple
contexts for multithreaded compilation (at least one per compile thread plus
one to store any IR not currently being compiled, though one context per module
is simpler). (2) We need to free contexts that are no longer being used so that
the JIT does not leak memory over time. (3) Module lifetimes are not
predictable (modules are compiled as needed depending on the flow of JIT'd
code) so there is no single point where contexts could be reclaimed.
JIT clients not using concurrency can safely use one ThreadSafeContext for all
ThreadSafeModules.
JIT clients who want to be able to compile concurrently should use a different
ThreadSafeContext for each module, or call setCloneToNewContextOnEmit on their
top-level IRLayer. The former reduces compile latency (since no clone step is
needed) at the cost of additional memory overhead for uncompiled modules (as
every uncompiled module will duplicate the LLVM types, constants and metadata
that have been shared).
