Nick Desaulniers e95a065d26 [IR] add fn attr for no_stack_protector; prevent inlining on mismatch
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/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`.

Fixes pr/47479.

This directory contains settings for the vim editor to work on llvm *.ll and
tablegen *.td files. It comes with filetype detection rules in the (ftdetect),
syntax highlighting (syntax), some minimal sensible default settings (ftplugin)
and indentation plugins (indent).

To install copy all subdirectories to your $HOME/.vim or if you prefer create
symlinks to the files here. Do not copy the vimrc file here it is only meant as
an inspiration and starting point for those working on llvm c++ code.

Note: If you notice missing or incorrect syntax highlighting, please contact
<llvm-bugs [at] lists.llvm.org>; if you wish to provide a patch to improve the
functionality, it will be most appreciated. Thank you.

If you find yourself working with LLVM Makefiles often, but you don't get syntax
highlighting (because the files have names such as Makefile.rules or
TEST.nightly.Makefile), add the following to your ~/.vimrc:

  " LLVM Makefile highlighting mode
  augroup filetype
    au! BufRead,BufNewFile *Makefile*     set filetype=make
  augroup END
