<title>Add support for Windows Secure Hot-Patching (redo) (#145565)</title>

(This is a re-do of #138972, which had a minor warning in `Clang.cpp`.)

This PR adds some of the support needed for Windows hot-patching.

Windows implements a form of hot-patching. This allows patches to be
applied to Windows apps, drivers, and the kernel, without rebooting or
restarting any of these components. Hot-patching is a complex technology
and requires coordination between the OS, compilers, linkers, and
additional tools.

This PR adds support to Clang and LLVM for part of the hot-patching
process. It enables LLVM to generate the required code changes and to
generate CodeView symbols which identify hot-patched functions. The PR
provides new command-line arguments to Clang which allow developers to
identify the list of functions that need to be hot-patched. This PR also
allows LLVM to directly receive the list of functions to be modified, so
that language front-ends which have not yet been modified (such as Rust)
can still make use of hot-patching.

This PR:

* Adds a `MarkedForWindowsHotPatching` LLVM function attribute. This
attribute indicates that a function should be _hot-patched_. This
generates a new CodeView symbol, `S_HOTPATCHFUNC`, which identifies any
function that has been hot-patched. This attribute also causes accesses
to global variables to be indirected through a `_ref_*` global variable.
This allows hot-patched functions to access the correct version of a
global variable; the hot-patched code needs to access the variable in
the _original_ image, not the patch image.
* Adds a `AllowDirectAccessInHotPatchFunction` LLVM attribute. This
attribute may be placed on global variable declarations. It indicates
that the variable may be safely accessed without the `_ref_*`
indirection.
* Adds two Clang command-line parameters: `-fms-hotpatch-functions-file`
and `-fms-hotpatch-functions-list`. The `-file` flag may point to a text
file, which contains a list of functions to be hot-patched (one function
name per line). The `-list` flag simply directly identifies functions to
be patched, using a comma-separated list. These two command-line
parameters may also be combined; the final set of functions to be
hot-patched is the union of the two sets.
* Adds similar LLVM command-line parameters:
`--ms-hotpatch-functions-file` and `--ms-hotpatch-functions-list`.
* Adds integration tests for both LLVM and Clang.
* Adds support for dumping the new `S_HOTPATCHFUNC` CodeView symbol.

Although the flags are redundant between Clang and LLVM, this allows
additional languages (such as Rust) to take advantage of hot-patching
support before they have been modified to generate the required
attributes.

<title>[llvm] annotate interfaces in llvm/DebugInfo for DLL export (#140778)</title>
<updated>2025-06-04T21:23:01+00:00</updated>

<name>Andrew Rogers</name>

<id>8d187e580e8499fd55413591c6639487dc1579a0</id>
<content type='text'>
## Purpose

This patch is one in a series of code-mods that annotate LLVM’s public
interface for export. This patch annotates the `llvm/DebugInfo` library.
These annotations currently have no meaningful impact on the LLVM build;
however, they are a prerequisite to support an LLVM Windows DLL (shared
library) build.

## Background

This effort is tracked in #109483. Additional context is provided in
[this
discourse](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/psa-annotating-llvm-public-interface/85307),
and documentation for `LLVM_ABI` and related annotations is found in the
LLVM repo
[here](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/docs/InterfaceExportAnnotations.rst).

The bulk of these changes were generated automatically using the
[Interface Definition Scanner (IDS)](https://github.com/compnerd/ids)
tool, followed formatting with `git clang-format`.

The following manual adjustments were also applied after running IDS on
Linux:
- Add `#include "llvm/Support/Compiler.h"` to files where it was not
auto-added by IDS due to no pre-existing block of include statements.
- Explicitly make classes non-copyable where needed to due IDS adding
LLVM_ABI at the class level
- Add `LLVM_ABI` and to exported APIs defined via X-macro

## Validation

Local builds and tests to validate cross-platform compatibility. This
included llvm, clang, and lldb on the following configurations:

- Windows with MSVC
- Windows with Clang
- Linux with GCC
- Linux with Clang
- Darwin with Clang</content>

This adds the following values to the CodeView.h enums (and updates the
various functions that use them):


* CPUType:
  * Added `Unknown`
* This is not currently documented in the online documentation, but this
is present in `cvconst.h` in the latest DIA SDK (Visual Studio 2022,
17.7.6)
* `Unknown` is the CPUType that is emitted by `aliasobj.exe` in the
Compile3Sym records, and can be found in objects that link with
`oldnames.lib`
    

![image](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/assets/69168929/8ee7b032-761b-45da-8439-d07aba797940)


* SourceLanguage (All of these are documented at
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/debug-interface-access/cv-cfl-lang?view=vs-2022
and are present in `cvconst.h` in the latest DIA SDK (Visual Studio
2022, 17.7.6))
  * Added Go
  * Added AliasObj
* emitted by `aliasobj.exe` in certain records, can be found in PDBs
that link with `oldnames.lib`
  * Changed Swift to the official Microsoft enumeration
  * Added `OldSwift`
* The old Swift enumeration of `S` was changed to `OldSwift` to allow
pdb dumping utilities to continue to emit correct source language
information for old PDBs
 
### WARNING
The `Swift` change is a potentially breaking change, as the swift
compiler will now emit `0x13` for the SourceLanguage type in PDB records
instead of `S`. This could potentially break utilities that relied on
the old enum value.
