The intended uses cases for this new metadata is annotating

* How many stores added for automatic variable initialization remain after optimizations? Where are they?
* How many runtime checks inserted by a frontend could be eliminated? Where are the ones that did not get eliminated?

This changes the definition of t2DoLoopStart from
t2DoLoopStart rGPR
to
GPRlr = t2DoLoopStart rGPR
This will hopefully mean that low overhead loops are more tied together,
and we can more reliably generate loops without reverting or being at
the whims of the register allocator.
This is a fairly simple change in itself, but leads to a number of other
required alterations.
- The hardware loop pass, if UsePhi is set, now generates loops of the
form:
%start = llvm.start.loop.iterations(%N)
loop:
%p = phi [%start], [%dec]
%dec = llvm.loop.decrement.reg(%p, 1)
%c = icmp ne %dec, 0
br %c, loop, exit
- For this a new llvm.start.loop.iterations intrinsic was added, identical
to llvm.set.loop.iterations but produces a value as seen above, gluing
the loop together more through def-use chains.
- This new instrinsic conceptually produces the same output as input,
which is taught to SCEV so that the checks in MVETailPredication are not
affected.
- Some minor changes are needed to the ARMLowOverheadLoop pass, but it has
been left mostly as before. We should now more reliably be able to tell
that the t2DoLoopStart is correct without having to prove it, but
t2WhileLoopStart and tail-predicated loops will remain the same.
- And all the tests have been updated. There are a lot of them!
This patch on it's own might cause more trouble that it helps, with more
tail-predicated loops being reverted, but some additional patches can
hopefully improve upon that to get to something that is better overall.

As discussed in the mailing list [1-4], we need a separation of support
tiers when requiring support from the whole community versus a
sub-community. Essentially, if a sub-community is active enough and
takes maintenance into their own internal costs without affecting other
parts of the community's maintenance costs, then code that is not
immediately relevant to all parts (ie. not released, actively tested,
etc) can still find its way into the LLVM main repository without major
pain points.
The main benefit is to reduce the maintenance cost that those
sub-communities have outside of LLVM (for example, in duplicating common
code, applying the same patches on top of multiple user repositories or
downstream projects).
This document outlines the components and responsibilities of the
sub-communities with regards to maintenance costs and how they affect
the rest of the community.
It also adds an addendum on removal policies, which expand the existing
"new target removal" policy into something more generic, to encompass
any piece of code, scripts or documents in the repository.

The `llvm.coro.suspend.async` intrinsic takes a function pointer as its
argument that describes how-to restore the current continuation's

It's currently ambiguous in IR whether the source language explicitly
did not want a stack a stack protector (in C, via function attribute
no_stack_protector) or doesn't care for any given function.
It's common for code that manipulates the stack via inline assembly or
that has to set up its own stack canary (such as the Linux kernel) would
like to avoid stack protectors in certain functions. In this case, we've
been bitten by numerous bugs where a callee with a stack protector is
inlined into an __attribute__((__no_stack_protector__)) caller, which
generally breaks the caller's assumptions about not having a stack
protector. LTO exacerbates the issue.
While developers can avoid this by putting all no_stack_protector
functions in one translation unit together and compiling those with
-fno-stack-protector, it's generally not very ergonomic or as
ergonomic as a function attribute, and still doesn't work for LTO. See also:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20200915172658.1432732-1-rkir@google.com/https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200918201436.2932360-30-samitolvanen@google.com/T/#u
Typically, when inlining a callee into a caller, the caller will be
upgraded in its level of stack protection (see adjustCallerSSPLevel()).
By adding an explicit attribute in the IR when the function attribute is
used in the source language, we can now identify such cases and prevent
inlining. Block inlining when the callee and caller differ in the case that one
contains `nossp` when the other has `ssp`, `sspstrong`, or `sspreq`.

LLVM IR currently assumes some form of forward progress. This form is
not explicitly defined anywhere, and is the cause of miscompilations
in most languages that are not C++11 or later. This implicit forward progress
guarantee can not be opted out of on a function level nor on a loop
level. Languages such as C (C11 and later), C++ (pre-C++11), and Rust
have different forward progress requirements and this needs to be
evident in the IR.
Specifically, C11 and onwards (6.8.5, Paragraph 6) states that "An
iteration statement whose controlling expression is not a constant
expression, that performs no input/output operations, does not access
volatile objects, and performs no synchronization or atomic operations
in its body, controlling expression, or (in the case of for statement)
its expression-3, may be assumed by the implementation to terminate."
C++11 and onwards does not have this assumption, and instead assumes
that every thread must make progress as defined in [intro.progress] when
it comes to scheduling.
This was initially brought up in [0] as a bug, a solution was presented
in [1] which is the current workaround, and the predecessor to this
change was [2].
After defining a notion of forward progress for IR, there are two
options to address this:
1) Set the default to assuming Forward Progress and provide an opt-out for functions and an opt-in for loops.
2) Set the default to not assuming Forward Progress and provide an opt-in for functions, and an opt-in for loops.
Option 2) has been selected because only C++11 and onwards have a
forward progress requirement and it makes sense for them to opt-into it
via the defined `mustprogress` function attribute. The `mustprogress`
function attribute indicates that the function is required to make
forward progress as defined. This is sharply in contrast to the status
quo where this is implicitly assumed. In addition, `willreturn` implies `mustprogress`.
The background for why this definition was chosen is in [3] and for why
the option was chosen is in [4] and the corresponding thread(s). The implementation is in D85393, the
clang patch is in D86841, the LoopDeletion patch is in D86844, the
Inliner patches are in D87180 and D87262, and there will be more
incoming.

This patch updates the Kaleidoscope and BuildingAJIT tutorial series (chapter
1-4) to OrcV2. Chapter 5 of the BuildingAJIT series is removed -- it will be
re-instated once we have in-tree support for out-of-process JITing.
This patch only updates the tutorial code, not the text. Patches welcome for
that, otherwise I will try to update it in a few weeks.
This patch adds metadata !noundef and makes load instructions can optionally have it.
A load with !noundef always return a well-defined value (has no undef bit or isn't poison).
If the loaded value isn't well defined, the behavior is undefined.
This metadata can be used to encode the assumption from C/C++ that certain reads of variables should have well-defined values.
It is helpful for optimizing freeze instructions away, because freeze can be removed when its operand has well-defined value, and showing that a load from arbitrary location is well-defined is usually hard otherwise.
The same information can be encoded with llvm.assume with operand bundle; using metadata is chosen because I wasn't sure whether code motion can be freely done when llvm.assume is inserted from clang instead.
The existing codebase already is stripping unknown metadata when doing code motion, so using metadata is UB-safe as well.

that to avoid using the shaderZExport workaround on gfx602.
* One variant of gfx703 is now split out into gfx705. LLPC and other
front-ends could use that to avoid using the
shaderSpiCsRegAllocFragmentation workaround on gfx705.
* The "TongaPro" variant of gfx802 is now split out into gfx805.
TongaPro has a faster 64-bit shift than its former friends in gfx802,
and a subtarget feature could be set up for that to take advantage of
it. This commit does not make that change; it just adds the target.

As discussed on llvm-dev:

This is hopefully the final remaining showstopper before we can remove
the 'experimental' from the reduction intrinsics.
No behavior was specified for the FP min/max reductions, so we have a
mess of different interpretations.
There are a few potential options for the semantics of these max/min ops.
I think this is the simplest based on current behavior/implementation:
make the reductions inherit from the existing llvm.maxnum/minnum intrinsics.
These correspond to libm fmax/fmin, and those are similar to the (now
deprecated?) IEEE-754 maxNum/minNum functions (NaNs are treated as missing
data). So the default expansion creates calls to libm functions.
Another option would be to inherit from llvm.maximum/minimum (NaNs propagate),
but most targets just crash in codegen when given those nodes because no
default expansion was ever implemented AFAICT.
We could also just assume 'nnan' semantics by default (we are already
assuming 'nsz' semantics in the maxnum/minnum intrinsics), but some targets
(AArch64, PowerPC) support the more defined behavior, so it doesn't make much
sense to not allow a tighter spec. Fast-math-flags (nnan) can be used to
loosen the semantics.
(Note that D67507 was proposed to update the LangRef to acknowledge the more
recent IEEE-754 2019 standard, but that patch seems to have stalled. If we do
update based on the new standard, the reduction instructions can seamlessly
inherit from whatever updates are made to the max/min intrinsics.)
x86 sees a regression here on 'nnan' tests because we have underlying,
longstanding bugs in FMF creation/propagation. Those need to be fixed apart
from this change (for example: https://llvm.org/PR35538). The expansion
sequence before this patch may not have been correct.

This adjusts the description of `llvm.memcpy` to also allow operands
to be equal. This is in line with what Clang currently expects.
This change is intended to be temporary and followed by re-introduce
a variant with the non-overlapping guarantee for cases where we can
actually ensure that property in the front-end.

Add printf-style precision specifier to pad numbers to a given number of
digits when matching them if the value is smaller than the given
precision. This works on both empty numeric expression (e.g. variable
definition from input) and when matching a numeric expression. The
syntax is as follows:
[[#%.<precision><format specifier>, ...]
where <format specifier> is optional and ... can be a variable
definition or not with an empty expression or not. In the absence of a
precision specifier, a variable definition will accept leading zeros.

This patch makes LangRef be explicit about the value of padding when storing an aggregate.
It states that when an aggregate is stored into memory, padding is filled with undef.
Here is a clue that supports this change (edited to reflect the discussion from llvm-dev):
- IPSCCP ignores padding and directly stores a constant aggregate if possible. It loses the data stored in the padding. https://godbolt.org/z/xzenYs Memcpyopt ignores (the preexisting value of) padding when copying an aggregate or storing a constant: https://godbolt.org/z/hY6ndd / https://godbolt.org/z/3WMP5a
The two items below are not relevant with this patch because Clang lowers load/store of individual field of struct into load/stores of the corresponding pointer with a primitive type. Also, when copy is needed, it uses memcpy instead of load/store of an aggregate, as discussed in the llvm-dev. However, this patch is still valid (as discussed) because it is needed to explain the two optimizations above.
- According to C17, the value of padding bytes when storing values in structures or unions is unspecified.
- I updated Alive2 and it did not find any problematic transformation from LLVM unit tests and while running translation validation of a few C programs.

It's not undefined behavior for an unsigned left shift to overflow (i.e. to
shift bits out), but it has been the source of bugs and exploits in certain
codebases in the past. As we do in other parts of UBSan, this patch adds a
dynamic checker which acts beyond UBSan and checks other sources of errors. The
option is enabled as part of -fsanitize=integer.
The flag is named: -fsanitize=unsigned-shift-base
This matches shift-base and shift-exponent flags.
