Support overriding the Doxygen & OCamldoc install directories,
and provide a more FHS-compliant defaults for both of them. This extends
r282240 that added this override for Sphinx-built documentation.
LLVM_INSTALL_DOXYGEN_HTML_DIR and LLVM_INSTALL_OCAMLDOC_HTML_DIR are
added, to control the location where Doxygen-generated and
OCamldoc-generated HTML docs are installed appropriately. They both
specify CMake-style install paths, and therefore can either by relative
to the install prefix or absolute.
The new defaults are subdirectories of share/doc/llvm, and replace
the previous directories of 'docs/html' and 'docs/ocaml/html' that
resulted in creating invalid '/usr/docs' that furthermore lacked proper
namespacing for the LLVM package. The new defaults are consistent with
the ones used for Sphinx HTML documentation, differing only in the last
component. Since the 'html' subdirectory is already used for Sphinx
docs, the 'doxygen-html' and 'ocaml-html' directories are used instead.

Summary:
It was previously not possible for tools to use solely the stackmap
information emitted to reconstruct the return addresses of callsites in
the map, which is necessary to use the information to walk a stack. This
patch adds per-function callsite counts when emitting the stackmap
section in order to resolve the problem. Note that this slightly alters
the stackmap format, so external tools parsing these maps will need to
be updated.
**Problem Details:**
Records only store their offset from the beginning of the function they
belong to. While these records and the functions are output in program
order, it is not possible to determine where the end of one function's
records are without the callsite count when processing the records to
compute return addresses.

With the runtimes build we're trying to use LLVMConfig.cmake as a way of providing LLVM_* variables that are needed to behave as if the project is building in tree. To make this work we need to rename two variables by dropping the "S" from the end. This makes the variables match the in-tree names.
This renames:
LLVM_INCLUDE_DIRS -> LLVM_INCLUDE_DIR
LLVM_LIBRARY_DIRS -> LLVM_LIBRARY_DIR
The versions ending in S are not used in-tree anywhere. This also cleans up LLVM_LIBRARY_DIR being set to the same value with and without the "S".

Summary:
[Coroutines] Part 9: Add cleanup subfunction.
This patch completes coroutine heap allocation elision. Now, the heap elision example from docs\Coroutines.rst compiles and produces expected result (see test/Transform/Coroutines/ex3.ll)
Intrinsic Changes:
* coro.free gets a token parameter tying it to coro.id to allow reliably discovering all coro.frees associated with a particular coroutine.
* coro.id gets an extra parameter that points back to a coroutine function. This allows to check whether a coro.id describes the enclosing function or it belongs to a different function that was later inlined.
CoroSplit now creates three subfunctions:
# f$resume - resume logic
# f$destroy - cleanup logic, followed by a deallocation code
# f$cleanup - just the cleanup code
CoroElide pass during devirtualization replaces coro.destroy with either f$destroy or f$cleanup depending whether heap elision is performed or not.
Other fixes, improvements:
* Fixed buglet in Shape::buildFrame that was not creating coro.save properly if coroutine has more than one suspend point.
* Switched to using variable width suspend index field (no longer limited to 32 bit index field can be as little as i1 or as large as i<whatever-size_t-is>)

1. Make coroutine representation more robust against optimization that may duplicate instruction by introducing coro.id intrinsics that returns a token that will get fed into coro.alloc and coro.begin. Due to coro.id returning a token, it won't get duplicated and can be used as reliable indicator of coroutine identify when a particular coroutine call gets inlined.
2. Move last three arguments of coro.begin into coro.id as they will be shared if coro.begin will get duplicated.
3. doc + test + code updated to support the new intrinsic.

Summary:
A particular coroutine usage pattern, where a coroutine is created, manipulated and
destroyed by the same calling function, is common for coroutines implementing
RAII idiom and is suitable for allocation elision optimization which avoid
dynamic allocation by storing the coroutine frame as a static `alloca` in its
caller.
coro.free and coro.alloc intrinsics are used to indicate which code needs to be suppressed
when dynamic allocation elision happens:
```
entry:
%elide = call i8* @llvm.coro.alloc()
%need.dyn.alloc = icmp ne i8* %elide, null
br i1 %need.dyn.alloc, label %coro.begin, label %dyn.alloc
dyn.alloc:
%alloc = call i8* @CustomAlloc(i32 4)
br label %coro.begin
coro.begin:
%phi = phi i8* [ %elide, %entry ], [ %alloc, %dyn.alloc ]
%hdl = call i8* @llvm.coro.begin(i8* %phi, i32 0, i8* null,
i8* bitcast ([2 x void (%f.frame*)*]* @f.resumers to i8*))
```
and
```
%mem = call i8* @llvm.coro.free(i8* %hdl)
%need.dyn.free = icmp ne i8* %mem, null
br i1 %need.dyn.free, label %dyn.free, label %if.end
dyn.free:
call void @CustomFree(i8* %mem)
br label %if.end
if.end:
...
```
If heap allocation elision is performed, we replace coro.alloc with a static alloca on the caller frame and coro.free with null constant.
Also, we need to make sure that if there are any tail calls referencing the coroutine frame, we need to remote tail call attribute, since now coroutine frame lives on the stack.

llvm-svn: 278053
Summary:
Based on two patches by Michael Mueller.
This is a target attribute that causes a function marked with it to be
emitted as "hotpatchable". This particular mechanism was originally
devised by Microsoft for patching their binaries (which they are
constantly updating to stay ahead of crackers, script kiddies, and other
ne'er-do-wells on the Internet), but is now commonly abused by Windows
programs to hook API functions.
This mechanism is target-specific. For x86, a two-byte no-op instruction
is emitted at the function's entry point; the entry point must be
immediately preceded by 64 (32-bit) or 128 (64-bit) bytes of padding.
This padding is where the patch code is written. The two byte no-op is
then overwritten with a short jump into this code. The no-op is usually
a `movl %edi, %edi` instruction; this is used as a magic value
indicating that this is a hotpatchable function.

This patch replaces RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo with JITSymbol: A symbol class
that is capable of lazy materialization (i.e. the symbol definition needn't be
emitted until the address is requested). This can be used to support common
and weak symbols in the JIT (though this is not implemented in this patch).
For consistency, RuntimeDyld::SymbolResolver is renamed to JITSymbolResolver.
For space efficiency a new class, JITEvaluatedSymbol, is introduced that
behaves like the old RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo - i.e. it is just a pair of an
address and symbol flags. Instances of JITEvaluatedSymbol can be used in
symbol-tables to avoid paying the space cost of the materializer.

This intrinsic safely loads a function pointer from a virtual table pointer
using type metadata. This intrinsic is used to implement control flow integrity
in conjunction with virtual call optimization. The virtual call optimization
pass will optimize away llvm.type.checked.load intrinsics associated with
devirtualized calls, thereby removing the type check in cases where it is
not needed to enforce the control flow integrity constraint.
This patch also introduces the capability to copy type metadata between
global variables, and teaches the virtual call optimization pass to do so.
Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D21121
llvm-svn: 273756
The bitset metadata currently used in LLVM has a few problems:
1. It has the wrong name. The name "bitset" refers to an implementation
detail of one use of the metadata (i.e. its original use case, CFI).
This makes it harder to understand, as the name makes no sense in the
context of virtual call optimization.
2. It is represented using a global named metadata node, rather than
being directly associated with a global. This makes it harder to
manipulate the metadata when rebuilding global variables, summarise it
as part of ThinLTO and drop unused metadata when associated globals are
dropped. For this reason, CFI does not currently work correctly when
both CFI and vcall opt are enabled, as vcall opt needs to rebuild vtable
globals, and fails to associate metadata with the rebuilt globals. As I
understand it, the same problem could also affect ASan, which rebuilds
globals with a red zone.
This patch solves both of those problems in the following way:
1. Rename the metadata to "type metadata". This new name reflects how
the metadata is currently being used (i.e. to represent type information
for CFI and vtable opt). The new name is reflected in the name for the
associated intrinsic (llvm.type.test) and pass (LowerTypeTests).
2. Attach metadata directly to the globals that it pertains to, rather
than using the "llvm.bitsets" global metadata node as we are doing now.
This is done using the newly introduced capability to attach
metadata to global variables (r271348 and r271358).

This change is motivated by an upcoming change to the metadata representation
used for CFI. The indirect function call checker needs type information for
external function declarations in order to correctly generate jump table
entries for such declarations. We currently associate such type information
with declarations using a global metadata node, but I plan [1] to move all
such metadata to global object attachments.
In bitcode, metadata attachments for function declarations appear in the
global metadata block. This seems reasonable to me because I expect metadata
attachments on declarations to be uncommon. In the long term I'd also expect
this to be the case for CFI, because we'd want to use some specialized bitcode
format for this metadata that could be read as part of the ThinLTO thin-link
phase, which would mean that it would not appear in the global metadata block.
To solve the lazy loaded metadata issue I was seeing with D20147, I use the
same bitcode representation for metadata attachments for global variables as I
do for function declarations. Since there's a use case for metadata attachments
in the global metadata block, we might as well use that representation for
global variables as well, at least until we have a mechanism for lazy loading
global variables.
In the assembly format, the metadata attachments appear after the "declare"
keyword in order to avoid a parsing ambiguity.

Nearly all the changes to this pass have been done while maintaining and
updating other parts of LLVM. LLVM has had another pass, SROA, which
has superseded ScalarReplAggregates for quite some time.

If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.
This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)
Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

This enables use of the 'R' and 'T' memory constraints for inline ASM
operands on SystemZ, which allow an index register as well as an
immediate displacement. This patch includes corresponding documentation
and test case updates.
As with the last patch of this kind, I moved the 'm' constraint to the
most general case, which is now 'T' (base + 20-bit signed displacement +
index register).

Summary:
This documents the various relocation types that are supported by the
Radeon Open Compute (ROC) runtime (which is essentially the dynamic
linker for AMDGPU).
Only R_AMDGPU_32 is not currently supported by the ROC runtime, but
it will usually be resolved at link time by lld.

This enables use of the 'S' constraint for inline ASM operands on
SystemZ, which allows for a memory reference with a signed 20-bit
immediate displacement. This patch includes corresponding documentation
and test case updates.
I've changed the 'T' constraint to match the new behavior for 'S', as
'T' also uses a long displacement (though index constraints are still
not implemented). I also changed 'm' to match the behavior for 'S' as
this will allow for a wider range of displacements for 'm', though
correct me if that's not the right decision.

Summary:
This is an initial implementation of a Hardened Allocator based on Sanitizer Common's CombinedAllocator.
It aims at mitigating heap based vulnerabilities by adding several features to the base allocator, while staying relatively fast.
The following were implemented:
- additional consistency checks on the allocation function parameters and on the heap chunks;
- use of checksum protected chunk header, to detect corruption;
- randomness to the allocator base;
- delayed freelist (quarantine), to mitigate use after free and overall determinism.
Additional mitigations are in the works.

- Normalize file paths read from the file to prevent Windows path
separators from escaping parts of the path.
- Since we need to store the normalized file paths in WeightedFile,
don't do tricky things to keep the source MemoryBuffer alive.

and/or tests aren't working on Windows currently.
There seems to be some problem with quoting the file paths. I don't
understand the test structure here or the code well enough to try to
come up with a way to correctly handle paths with back slashes in them,
and this has caused the Windows builds to be failing for 7 hours now, so
I'm reverting the whole thing to bring them back to life. Sorry for the
disruption, but a couple of these were bug fixes anyways that can be
folded into a fresh commit.
Reverts the following patches:
r271756: Clean up the way we create the input filenames buffer (NFC)
r271748: Fix use-after-free from discarded MemoryBuffer (NFC)
r271710: Fix option description (NFC)
r271709: Add option to ingest filepaths from a file
llvm-svn: 271760
The new option makes it possible to build external projects as part of
the llvm build without copying (or symlinking) then into llvm/tool with
specifying a few additional cmake variables.
Example usage (2 additional project called foo and bar):
-DLLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS="Foo;Bar"
-DLLVM_EXTERNAL_FOO_SOURCE_DIR=/src/foo
-DLLVM_EXTERNAL_BAR_SOURCE_DIR=/src/bar
Note: This is the extension of the approach we already support for
clang/lldb/poly with adding an option to specify additional supported
projects.

It isn't clear what is the operational meaning of loading or storing an

Since there does not seem to be any practical need for it either, make

This tidies up some code that was manually constructing RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo
instances from JITSymbols. It will save more mess in the future when
JITSymbol::getAddress is extended to return an Expected<TargetAddress> rather
than just a TargetAddress, since we'll be able to embed the error checking in
the conversion.
