This patch adds a set of unstable C API bindings to the DIBuilder interface for
creating structure, function, and aggregate types.
This patch also removes the existing implementations of these functions from
the Go bindings and updates the Go API to fit the new C APIs.

X86 Supports Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT) as part of Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
IBT instruments ENDBR instructions used to specify valid targets of indirect call / jmp.
The `nocf_check` attribute has two roles in the context of X86 IBT technology:
1. Appertains to a function - do not add ENDBR instruction at the beginning of the function.
2. Appertains to a function pointer - do not track the target function of this pointer by adding nocf_check prefix to the indirect-call instruction.
This patch implements `nocf_check` context for Indirect Branch Tracking.
It also auto generates `nocf_check` prefixes before indirect branchs to jump tables that are guarded by range checks.

By this change, building a Go code with LLVM Go bindings causes a compilation error as follows.
go build llvm.org/llvm/bindings/go/llvm: invalid flag in #cgo LDFLAGS: -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names
llvm-go tool generates cgo LDFLAGS directive from `llvm-config --ldflags` and it contains -Wl,option options. But -Wl,option is banned by default. To avoid this problem, we need to set $CGO_LDFLAGS_ALLOW environment variable to notify a compiler that the flags should be allowed.
$ export CGO_LDFLAGS_ALLOW='-Wl,(-search_paths_first|-headerpad_max_install_names)'
By default for go 1.10 and go 1.9.5 these options should appear in the accepted set of options, however, if you're running into the error it's useful to have this documented.

Account for the possibility of LLVMDumpType() not being available with
NDEBUG in the OCaml bindings. If it is not built into LLVM, make
the dump function raise an exception.
Since rL293359, the dump functions are built only if either NDEBUG is
not defined, or LLVM_ENABLE_DUMP is defined. As a result, if the dump
functions are not built in LLVM, the dynamic OCaml libraries fail to
load due to undefined LLVMDumpType symbol.

Summary:
This seems like an uncontroversial first step toward providing access to the metadata hierarchy that now exists in LLVM. This should allow for good debug info support from C.
Future plans are to deprecate API that take mixed bags of values and metadata (mainly the LLVMMDNode family of functions) and migrate the rest toward the use of LLVMMetadataRef.
Once this is in place, mapping of DIBuilder will be able to start.

Add a OCAML_INSTALL_PATH variable that can be used to control
the install path for OCaml libraries. The new variable defaults to
${OCAML_STDLIB_PATH}, i.e. the OCaml library path obtained from
the OCaml compiler. Install libraries into "llvm" subdirectory.
This fixes two issues:
1. OCaml library directories differ between systems, and 'lib/ocaml' is
incorrect e.g. on amd64 Gentoo where OCaml is installed
in 'lib64/ocaml'. Therefore, obtain the library path from the OCaml
compiler using 'ocamlc -where' (which is already used to set
OCAML_STDLIB_PATH), which is the method used commonly in OCaml packages.
2. The top-level directory is reserved for the standard library, and has
precedence over local directory in search path. As a result, OCaml
preferred the files installed along with previous LLVM version over the
source tree when building a new version, resulting in two versions being
mixed during the build. The new layout is used commonly by other OCaml
packages, and findlib is able to find the LLVM libraries successfully.

- Fixes `--libnames`, `--libs`, and `--libfiles` for dylib when static components aren't installed.
- Fixes `--libnames`, `--libs`, `--libfiles`, and `--components` to use LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS as the component manifest for dylib linking.
- Uses the host platform's usual convention for filename extensions and such, instead of always defaulting to Unix-izms.

Previously, subprograms contained a metadata reference to the function they
described. Because most clients need to get or set a subprogram for a given
function rather than the other way around, this created unneeded inefficiency.
For example, many passes needed to call the function llvm::makeSubprogramMap()
to build a mapping from functions to subprograms, and the IR linker needed to
fix up function references in a way that caused quadratic complexity in the IR
linking phase of LTO.
This change reverses the direction of the edge by storing the subprogram as
function-level metadata and removing DISubprogram's function field.
Since this is an IR change, a bitcode upgrade has been provided.

Summary:
When LLVM is configured to build shared libraries, CMake builds each component as it's own shared object, while autoconfig/make builds them statically and then links them all together to create a single shared object. This change adds compile time config flags to `llvm-config` so it can know whether LLVM's components are separated or not and act accordingly.
This fixes `llvm-config` instead of fixing the makefiles to behave like CMake because, AIUI, LLVM's autoconfig/make build system is on the way out anyway.
This change only affects `llvm-config` from builds that use autoconfig/make.

Originally added in r139314.
Back then it didn't actually get the address, it got whatever value the
relocation used: address or offset.
The values in different object formats are:
* MachO: Always an offset.
* COFF: Always an address, but when talking about the virtual address of
sections it says: "for simplicity, compilers should set this to zero".
* ELF: An offset for .o files and and address for .so files. In the case of the
.so, the relocation in not linked to any section (sh_info is 0). We can't
really compute an offset.
Some API mappings would be:
* Use getAddress for everything. It would be quite cumbersome. To compute the
address elf has to follow sh_info, which can be corrupted and therefore the
method has to return an ErrorOr. The address of the section is also the same
for every relocation in a section, so we shouldn't have to check the error
and fetch the value for every relocation.
* Use a getValue and make it up to the user to know what it is getting.
* Use a getOffset and:
* Assert for dynamic ELF objects. That is a very peculiar case and it is
probably fair to ask any tool that wants to support it to use ELF.h. The
only tool we have that reads those (llvm-readobj) already does that. The
only other use case I can think of is a dynamic linker.
* Check that COFF .obj files have sections with zero virtual address spaces. If
it turns out that some assembler/compiler produces these, we can change
COFFObjectFile::getRelocationOffset to subtract it. Given COFF format,
this can be done without the need for ErrorOr.
The getRelocationAddress method was never implemented for COFF. It also
had exactly one use in a very peculiar case: a shortcut for adding the
section value to a pcrel reloc on MachO.
Given that, I don't expect that there is any use out there of the C API. If
that is not the case, let me know and I will add it back with the implementation
inlined and do a proper deprecation.

Finish off PR23080 by renaming the debug info IR constructs from `MD*`
to `DI*`. The last of the `DIDescriptor` classes were deleted in
r235356, and the last of the related typedefs removed in r235413, so
this has all baked for about a week.
Note: If you have out-of-tree code (like a frontend), I recommend that
you get everything compiling and tests passing with the *previous*
commit before updating to this one. It'll be easier to keep track of
what code is using the `DIDescriptor` hierarchy and what you've already

course.

use the API.
The context for this is PR22778, which is removing the `inlinedAt:`
field from `MDLocalVariable`, instead deferring to the `!dbg` location
attached to the debug info intrinsic. The best way to ensure we always
have a `!dbg` attachment is to require one at creation time. I'll be
adding verifier checks next, but this API change is the best way to
shake out frontend bugs.
Note: I added an `llvm_unreachable()` in `bindings/go` and passed in
`nullptr` for the `DebugLoc`. The `llgo` folks will eventually need to
pass a valid `DebugLoc` here.

Remove `MDNodeFwdDecl` (as promised in r226481). Aside from API
changes, there's no real functionality change here.
`MDNode::getTemporary()` now forwards to `MDTuple::getTemporary()`,
which returns a tuple with `isTemporary()` equal to true.
The main point is that we can now add temporaries of other `MDNode`
subclasses, needed for PR22235 (I introduced `MDNodeFwdDecl` in the
first place because I didn't recognize this need, and thought they were
only needed to handle forward references).
A few things left out of (or highlighted by) this commit:
- I've had to remove the (few) uses of `std::unique_ptr<>` to deal
with temporaries, since the destructor is no longer public.
`getTemporary()` should probably return the equivalent of
`std::unique_ptr<T, MDNode::deleteTemporary>`.
- `MDLocation::getTemporary()` doesn't exist yet (worse, it actually
does exist, but does the wrong thing: `MDNode::getTemporary()` is
inherited and returns an `MDTuple`).
- `MDNode` now only has one subclass, `UniquableMDNode`, and the
distinction between them is actually somewhat confusing.
I'll fix those up next.

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

Expose llvm::DIBuilder::insertDbgValueIntrinsic as
DIBuilder.InsertValueAtEnd in the Go bindings, to support attaching
debug metadata to register values.

Bindings built out-of-tree, e.g. via OPAM, should append
a line to META.llvm like the following:
linkopts = "-cclib -L$libdir -cclib -Wl,-rpath,$libdir"
where $libdir is the lib/ directory where LLVM libraries are
installed.

Since JIT->MCJIT migration, most of the ExecutionEngine interface
became deprecated and/or broken. This especially affected the OCaml
bindings, as runFunction is no longer available, and unlike in C,
it is not possible to coerce a pointer to a function and call it
in OCaml.
In practice, LLVM 3.5 shipped completely unusable
Llvm_executionengine.
The GenericValue interface and runFunction were essentially
a poor man's FFI. As such, this interface was removed and instead
a dependency on ctypes >=0.3 added, which handled platform-specific
aspects of accessing data and calling functions.
The new interface does not expose JIT (which is a shim around MCJIT),
as well as the interpreter (which can't handle a lot of valid IR).
Llvm_executionengine.add_global_mapping is currently unusable
due to PR20656.

This commit updates the OCaml bindings and tests to use ocamlfind.
The bindings are migrated in order to use ctypes, which are now
required for MCJIT-backed Llvm_executionengine.
The tests are migrated in order to use OUnit and to verify that
the distributed META.llvm allows to build working executables.
Every OCaml toolchain invocation is now chained through ocamlfind,
which (in theory) allows to cross-compile the OCaml bindings.
The configure script now checks for ctypes (>= 0.2.3) and
OUnit (>= 2). The code depending on these libraries will be added
later. The configure script does not check the package versions
in order to keep changes less invasive.
Additionally, OCaml bindings will now be automatically enabled
if ocamlfind is detected on the system, rather than ocamlc, as it
was before.

Pretend they do not exist using exists_if. This is better than
the current situation, which is the error:
Error: The external function `llvm_global_succ' is not available
but still somewhat confusing.

In practice this means:
* Always using -g flag.
* Embedding -cclib -lstdc++ into the corresponding cma/cmxa file.
This also moves -lstdc++ in a single place.
* Using caml_named_value instead of a homegrown mechanism.

First, return true on success, as it is the OCaml convention.
Second, also initialize the native assembly printer, which is,
despite the name, required for MCJIT operation.
Since this function did not initialize the assembly printer earlier
and no function to initialize native assembly printer was available
elsewhere, it is safe to break its interface: it means that it
simply could not be used successfully before.

This tool lets us build LLVM components within the tree by setting up a
$GOPATH that resembles a tree fetched in the normal way with "go get".
It is intended that components such as the Go frontend will be built in-tree
using this tool.
