An abstract call site is a wrapper that allows to treat direct,
indirect, and callback calls the same. If an abstract call site
represents a direct or indirect call site it behaves like a stripped
down version of a normal call site object. The abstract call site can
also represent a callback call, thus the fact that the initially
called function (=broker) may invoke a third one (=callback callee).
In this case, the abstract call side hides the middle man, hence the
broker function. The result is a representation of the callback call,
inside the broker, but in the context of the original instruction that
invoked the broker.
Again, there are up to three functions involved when we talk about
callback call sites. The caller (1), which invokes the broker
function. The broker function (2), that may or may not invoke the
callback callee. And finally the callback callee (3), which is the
target of the callback call.
The abstract call site will handle the mapping from parameters to
arguments depending on the semantic of the broker function. However,
it is important to note that the mapping is often partial. Thus, some
arguments of the call/invoke instruction are mapped to parameters of
the callee while others are not. At the same time, arguments of the
callback callee might be unknown, thus "null" if queried.
This patch introduces also !callback metadata which describe how a
callback broker maps from parameters to arguments. This metadata is
directly created by clang for known broker functions, provided through
source code attributes by the user, or later deduced by analyses.

Pass Execution Instrumentation interface enables customizable instrumentation
of pass execution, as per "RFC: Pass Execution Instrumentation interface"
posted 06/07/2018 on llvm-dev@
The intent is to provide a common machinery to implement all
the pass-execution-debugging features like print-before/after,
opt-bisect, time-passes etc.
Here we get a basic implementation consisting of:
* PassInstrumentationCallbacks class that handles registration of callbacks
and access to them.
* PassInstrumentation class that handles instrumentation-point interfaces
that call into PassInstrumentationCallbacks.
* Callbacks accept StringRef which is just a name of the Pass right now.
There were some ideas to pass an opaque wrapper for the pointer to pass instance,
however it appears that pointer does not actually identify the instance
(adaptors and managers might have the same address with the pass they govern).
Hence it was decided to go simple for now and then later decide on what the proper
mental model of identifying a "pass in a phase of pipeline" is.
* Callbacks accept llvm::Any serving as a wrapper for const IRUnit*, to remove direct dependencies
on different IRUnits (e.g. Analyses).
* PassInstrumentationAnalysis analysis is explicitly requested from PassManager through
usual AnalysisManager::getResult. All pass managers were updated to run that
to get PassInstrumentation object for instrumentation calls.
* Using tuples/index_sequence getAnalysisResult helper to extract generic AnalysisManager's extra
args out of a generic PassManager's extra args. This is the only way I was able to explicitly
run getResult for PassInstrumentationAnalysis out of a generic code like PassManager::run or
RepeatedPass::run.
TODO: Upon lengthy discussions we agreed to accept this as an initial implementation
and then get rid of getAnalysisResult by improving RepeatedPass implementation.
* PassBuilder takes PassInstrumentationCallbacks object to pass it further into
PassInstrumentationAnalysis. Callbacks registration should be performed directly
through PassInstrumentationCallbacks.
* new-pm tests updated to account for PassInstrumentationAnalysis being run
* Added PassInstrumentation tests to PassBuilderCallbacks unit tests.
Other unit tests updated with registration of the now-required PassInstrumentationAnalysis.
Made getName helper to return std::string (instead of StringRef initially) to fix

—Prior to the patch—
- Directly calling update functions of DominatorTree updates the data structure eagerly while DeferredDominance does updates lazily.
- DeferredDominance class cannot be used when a PostDominatorTree also needs to be updated.
- Functions receiving DT/DDT need to branch a lot which is currently necessary.
- Functions using both DomTree and PostDomTree need to call the update function separately on both trees.
- People need to construct an additional DeferredDominance class to use functions only receiving DDT.

RewriteStatepointsForGC tries to rewrite a function in a manner where
the optimizer can't end up using a pointer value after it might have
been relocated by a safepoint. This pass checks the invariant that

correctly) later passes must preserve.

This patch implements a optimization bisect feature, which will allow optimizations to be selectively disabled at compile time in order to track down test failures that are caused by incorrect optimizations.
The bisection is enabled using a new command line option (-opt-bisect-limit). Individual passes that may be skipped call the OptBisect object (via an LLVMContext) to see if they should be skipped based on the bisect limit. A finer level of control (disabling individual transformations) can be managed through an addition OptBisect method, but this is not yet used.
The skip checking in this implementation is based on (and replaces) the skipOptnoneFunction check. Where that check was being called, a new call has been inserted in its place which checks the bisect limit and the optnone attribute. A new function call has been added for module and SCC passes that behaves in a similar way.

This is part of a series of patches to allow LLVM to check for complete
pointee types when computing its pointer traits. This is absolutely
necessary to get correct (or reproducible) results for things like how
many low bits are guaranteed to be zero.
The MetadataTracking helpers aren't actually independent. They rely on
constructing a PointerUnion between Metadata and MetadataAsValue
pointers, which requires know the alignment of pointers to those types
which requires them to be complete.
The .cpp file even defined a method declared in Metadata.h! These really
don't seem like something that is separable, and there is no real

This change reverts the interesting parts of 226311 (and 227046). This change introduced two problems, and I've been convinced that an alternate approach is preferrable anyways.
The bugs were:
- Registery appears to require all users be within the same linkage unit. After this change, asking for "statepoint-example" in Transform/ would sometimes get you nullptr, whereas asking the same question in CodeGen would return the right GCStrategy. The correct long term fix is to get rid of the utter hack which is Registry, but I don't have time for that right now. 227046 appears to have been an attempt to fix this, but I don't believe it does so completely.
- GCMetadataPrinter::finishAssembly was being called more than once per GCStrategy. Each Strategy was being added to the GCModuleInfo multiple times.
Once I get time again, I'm going to split GCModuleInfo into the gc.root specific part and a GCStrategy owning Analysis pass. I'm probably also going to kill off the Registry. Once that's done, I'll move the new GCStrategyAnalysis and all built in GCStrategies into Analysis. (As original suggested by Chandler.) This will accomplish my original goal of being able to access GCStrategy from Transform/ without adding all of the builtin GCs to IR/.
llvm-svn: 227109
Note: This change ended up being slightly more controversial than expected. Chandler has tentatively okayed this for the moment, but I may be revisiting this in the near future after we settle some high level questions.
Rather than have the GCStrategy object owned by the GCModuleInfo - which is an immutable analysis pass used mainly by gc.root - have it be owned by the LLVMContext. This simplifies the ownership logic (i.e. can you have two instances of the same strategy at once?), but more importantly, allows us to access the GCStrategy in the middle end optimizer. To this end, I add an accessor through Function which becomes the canonical way to get at a GCStrategy instance.
In the near future, this will allows me to move some of the checks from http://reviews.llvm.org/D6808 into the Verifier itself, and to introduce optimization legality predicates for some of the recent additions to InstCombine. (These will follow as separate changes.)

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.)

This is the third patch in a small series. It contains the CodeGen support for lowering the gc.statepoint intrinsic sequences (223078) to the STATEPOINT pseudo machine instruction (223085). The change also includes the set of helper routines and classes for working with gc.statepoints, gc.relocates, and gc.results since the lowering code uses them.
With this change, gc.statepoints should be functionally complete. The documentation will follow in the fourth change, and there will likely be some cleanup changes, but interested parties can start experimenting now.
I'm not particularly happy with the amount of code or complexity involved with the lowering step, but at least it's fairly well isolated. The statepoint lowering code is split into it's own files and anyone not working on the statepoint support itself should be able to ignore it.
During the lowering process, we currently spill aggressively to stack. This is not entirely ideal (and we have plans to do better), but it's functional, relatively straight forward, and matches closely the implementations of the patchpoint intrinsics. Most of the complexity comes from trying to keep relocated copies of values in the same stack slots across statepoints. Doing so avoids the insertion of pointless load and store instructions to reshuffle the stack. The current implementation isn't as effective as I'd like, but it is functional and 'good enough' for many common use cases.
In the long term, I'd like to figure out how to integrate the statepoint lowering with the register allocator. In principal, we shouldn't need to eagerly spill at all. The register allocator should do any spilling required and the statepoint should simply record that fact. Depending on how challenging that turns out to be, we may invest in a smarter global stack slot assignment mechanism as a stop gap measure.

COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.
