These linkages were introduced some time ago, but it was never very
clear what exactly their semantics were or what they should be used
for. Some investigation found these uses:
* utf-16 strings in clang.
* non-unnamed_addr strings produced by the sanitizers.
It turns out they were just working around a more fundamental problem.
For some sections a MachO linker needs a symbol in order to split the
section into atoms, and llvm had no idea that was the case. I fixed
that in r201700 and it is now safe to use the private linkage. When
the object ends up in a section that requires symbols, llvm will use a
'l' prefix instead of a 'L' prefix and things just work.
With that, these linkages were already dead, but there was a potential
future user in the objc metadata information. I am still looking at
CGObjcMac.cpp, but at this point I am convinced that linker_private
and linker_private_weak are not what they need.
The objc uses are currently split in
* Regular symbols (no '\01' prefix). LLVM already directly provides
whatever semantics they need.
* Uses of a private name (start with "\01L" or "\01l") and private
linkage. We can drop the "\01L" and "\01l" prefixes as soon as llvm
agrees with clang on L being ok or not for a given section. I have two
patches in code review for this.
* Uses of private name and weak linkage.
The last case is the one that one could think would fit one of these
linkages. That is not the case. The semantics are
* the linker will merge these symbol by *name*.
* the linker will hide them in the final DSO.
Given that the merging is done by name, any of the private (or
internal) linkages would be a bad match. They allow llvm to rename the
symbols, and that is really not what we want. From the llvm point of
view, these objects should really be (linkonce|weak)(_odr)?.
For now, just keeping the "\01l" prefix is probably the best for these
symbols. If we one day want to have a more direct support in llvm,
IMHO what we should add is not a linkage, it is just a hidden_symbol
attribute. It would be applicable to multiple linkages. For example,
on weak it would produce the current behavior we have for objc
metadata. On internal, it would be equivalent to private (and we
should then remove private).

The syntax for "cmpxchg" should now look something like:
cmpxchg i32* %addr, i32 42, i32 3 acquire monotonic
where the second ordering argument gives the required semantics in the case
that no exchange takes place. It should be no stronger than the first ordering
constraint and cannot be either "release" or "acq_rel" (since no store will
have taken place).

Representing dllexport/dllimport as distinct linkage types prevents using
these attributes on templates and inline functions.
Instead of introducing further mixed linkage types to include linkonce and
weak ODR, the old import/export linkage types are replaced with a new
separate visibility-like specifier:
define available_externally dllimport void @f() {}
@Var = dllexport global i32 1, align 4
Linkage for dllexported globals and functions is now equal to their linkage
without dllexport. Imported globals and functions must be either
declarations with external linkage, or definitions with
AvailableExternallyLinkage.

The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI. It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied. This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.
This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification. It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.
When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

Add a helper function getDebugInfoVersionFromModule to return the debug info
version number for a module.
"Verifier/module-flags-1.ll" checks for verification errors.
It will seg fault when calling getDebugInfoVersionFromModule because of the
incorrect format for module flags in the testing case. We make
getModuleFlagsMetadata more robust by checking for error conditions.

In order to create an ObjectFile implementation that uses bitcode files, we
need to propagate the bitcode errors to the ObjectFile interface, so we need
to convert it to use the same error handling as ObjectFile: error_code.

That way the test won't start faililng when someone adds a new attribute

Here is a patch that fixes decoding of CE_SELECT in BitcodeReader,
along with a simple test case. The problem in the current code is that
it generates but doesn't accept bitcode that uses vectors for the

The work on this project was left in an unfinished and inconsistent state.
Hopefully someone will eventually get a chance to implement this feature, but
in the meantime, it is better to put things back the way the were. I have
left support in the bitcode reader to handle the case-range bitcode format,
so that we do not lose bitcode compatibility with the llvm 3.3 release.

- Instead of setting the suffixes in a bunch of places, just set one master
list in the top-level config. We now only modify the suffix list in a few
suites that have one particular unique suffix (.ml, .mc, .yaml, .td, .py).
- Aside from removing the need for a bunch of lit.local.cfg files, this enables
4 tests that were inadvertently being skipped (one in
Transforms/BranchFolding, a .s file each in DebugInfo/AArch64 and
CodeGen/PowerPC, and one in CodeGen/SI which is now failing and has been
XFAILED).
- This commit also fixes a bunch of config files to use config.root instead of
older copy-pasted code.

The bitcode representation attribute kinds are encoded into / decoded from
should be independent of the current set of LLVM attributes and their position
in the AttrKind enum. This patch explicitly encodes attributes to fixed bitcode
values.
With this patch applied, LLVM does not silently misread attributes written by
LLVM 3.3. We also enhance the decoding slightly such that an error message is
printed if an unknown AttrKind encoding was dected.
Bonus: Dropping bitcode attributes from AttrKind is now easy, as old AttrKinds
do not need to be kept to support the Bitcode reader.

These are two related changes (one in llvm, one in clang).
LLVM:
- rename address_safety => sanitize_address (the enum value is the same, so we preserve binary compatibility with old bitcode)
- rename thread_safety => sanitize_thread
- rename no_uninitialized_checks -> sanitize_memory
CLANG:
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_address)) as a synonym for __attribute__((no_address_safety_analysis))
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_thread))
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_memory))
for S in address thread memory
If -fsanitize=S is present and __attribute__((no_sanitize_S)) is not
set llvm attribute sanitize_S

to the instruction position. The old encoding would give an absolute
ID which counts up within a function, and only resets at the next function.
I.e., Instead of having:
... = icmp eq i32 n-1, n-2
br i1 ..., label %bb1, label %bb2
it will now be roughly:
... = icmp eq i32 1, 2
br i1 1, label %bb1, label %bb2
This makes it so that ids remain relatively small and can be encoded
in fewer bits.
With this encoding, forward reference operands will be given
negative-valued IDs. Use signed VBRs for the most common case
of forward references, which is phi instructions.
To retain backward compatibility we bump the bitcode version
from 0 to 1 to distinguish between the different encodings.

a pipeline, and then a positive assertion via grep, use two RUN lines
instead.
Supporting these complex ideas of 'success' and 'failure' across
multiple stages of a pipeline is brittle in the shell world, and would
block switching to ShTest format; it only worked due to contrivances
introduced by the TclTest format.
Writing this as two separate RUN lines seems clearer in any event.
This is another step toward completely removing TclTests from lit.

Old methods of SwitchInst are also works well, but marked as deprecated. So on this stage we have no side effects except that I added support for case ranges in BitcodeReader/Writer, of course test for Bitcode is also added. Old "switch" format is also supported.
