Add jump table (switch statement and computed goto) support for BPF
backend.
A `gotox &lt;reg&gt;` insn is implemented and the `&lt;reg&gt;` holds the target
insn where the gotox will go.

For a switch statement like
```
...
            switch (ctx-&gt;x) {
            case 1: ret_user = 18; break;
            case 20: ret_user = 6; break;
            case 16: ret_user = 9; break;
            case 6: ret_user = 16; break;
            case 8: ret_user = 14; break;
            case 30: ret_user = 2; break;
            default: ret_user = 1; break;
            }
...
```
and the final binary
```
    The final binary:

```
Note that for the above example, `-mllvm -bpf-min-jump-table-entries=5`
should be in compilation flags as the current default
bpf-min-jump-table-entries is 13. For example.
```
clang --target=bpf -mcpu=v4 -O2 -mllvm -bpf-min-jump-table-entries=5 -S -g test.c
```

For computed goto like
```
      int foo(int a, int b) {
        __label__ l1, l2, l3, l4;
        void *jt1[] = {[0]=&amp;&amp;l1, [1]=&amp;&amp;l2};
        void *jt2[] = {[0]=&amp;&amp;l3, [1]=&amp;&amp;l4};
        int ret = 0;
    
        goto *jt1[a % 2];
        l1: ret += 1;
        l2: ret += 3;
        goto *jt2[b % 2];
        l3: ret += 5;
        l4: ret += 7;
        return ret;
      }

<title>[llvm] Move data layout string computation to TargetParser (#157612)</title>

Clang and other frontends generally need the LLVM data layout string in
order to generate LLVM IR modules for LLVM. MLIR clients often need it
as well, since MLIR users often lower to LLVM IR.

Before this change, the LLVM datalayout string was computed in the
LLVM${TGT}CodeGen library in the relevant TargetMachine subclass.
However, none of the logic for computing the data layout string requires
any details of code generation. Clients who want to avoid duplicating
this information were forced to link in LLVMCodeGen and all registered
targets, leading to bloated binaries. This happened in PR #145899,
which measurably increased binary size for some of our users.

By moving this information to the TargetParser library, we
can delete the duplicate datalayout strings in Clang, and retain the
ability to generate IR for unregistered targets.

This is intended to be a very mechanical LLVM-only change, but there is
an immediately obvious follow-up to clang, which will be prepared
separately.

The vast majority of data layouts are computable with two inputs: the
triple and the "ABI name". There is only one exception, NVPTX, which has
a cl::opt to enable short device pointers. I invented a "shortptr" ABI
name to pass this option through the target independent interface.
Everything else fits. Mips is a bit awkward because it uses a special
MipsABIInfo abstraction, which includes members with codegen-like
concepts like ABI physical registers that can't live in TargetParser. I
think the string logic of looking for "n32" "n64" etc is reasonable to
duplicate. We have plenty of other minor duplication to preserve
layering.

<title>[llvm] annotate interfaces in llvm/Target for DLL export (#143615)</title>
<updated>2025-06-17T20:28:45+00:00</updated>

<id>19658d14749876cf0b6633f210c923be3709323b</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/Target` 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).

A sub-set 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 bulk of this change is manual additions of `LLVM_ABI` to
`LLVMInitializeX` functions defined in .cpp files under llvm/lib/Target.
Adding `LLVM_ABI` to the function implementation is required here
because they do not `#include "llvm/Support/TargetSelect.h"`, which
contains the declarations for this functions and was already updated
with `LLVM_ABI` in a previous patch. I considered patching these files
with `#include "llvm/Support/TargetSelect.h"` instead, but since
TargetSelect.h is a large file with a bunch of preprocessor x-macro
stuff in it I was concerned it would unnecessarily impact compile times.

In addition, a number of unit tests under llvm/unittests/Target required
additional dependencies to make them build correctly against the LLVM
DLL on Windows using MSVC.

## 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>

<title>[BPF] Handle traps with kfunc call __bpf_trap (#131731)</title>

<id>ab391beb11f733b526b86f9df23734a34657d876</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, middle-end generates 'unreachable' insn if the compiler
feels the code is indeed unreachable or the code becomes invalid
due to some optimizaiton (e.g. code optimization with uninitialized
variables).

Right now BPF backend ignores 'unreachable' insn during selectiondag
lowering. For cases where 'unreachable' is due to invalid code
transformation, such a signal will be missed. Later on, users needs
some effort to debug it which impacts developer productivity.

This patch enabled selectiondag lowering for 'unreachable' insn.

Previous attempt ([1]) tries to have a backend IR pass to filter
out 'unreachable' insns in a number of cases. But such pattern
matching may misalign with future middle-end optimization with
'unreachable' insns.

This patch takes a different approach. The 'unreachable' insn is
lowered with special encoding in bpf object file and verifier
will do proper verification for the bpf prog. More specifically,
the 'unreachable' insn is replaced by a __bpf_trap() function.
This function will be a kfunc (in ".ksyms" section) with a weak
attribute, but does not have definition. The actual kfunc definition
is expected to be in kernel. The __bpf_trap() extern function
is also encoded in BTF. The name __bpf_trap() is chosen to satisfy
reserved identifier requirement.

Besides the uninitialized variable case, the builtin function
'__builtin_trap' can also generate kfunc __bpf_trap(). For example
in [3], we have
```
  # define __bpf_unreachable()  __builtin_trap()
```
If the compiler didn't remove __builtin_trap() during middle-end
optimization, compilation will fail.

With this patch, compilation will not fail and __builtin_trap()
is converted to __bpf_trap() kfunc. The eventual failure will be
in verifier instead of llvm compilation. To keep compilation
time failure, user can add an option like `-ftrap-function=&lt;something&gt;`.

I tested this patch on bpf selftests and all tests are passed.
I also tried original example in [2] and the code looks like below:
```
          ; {
               0:       bf 16 00 00 00 00 00 00 r6 = r1
          ;       bpf_printk("Start");
               1:       18 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 r1 = 0x0 ll
                        0000000000000008:  R_BPF_64_64  .rodata
               3:       b4 02 00 00 06 00 00 00 w2 = 0x6
               4:       85 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 call 0x6
          ; DEFINE_FUNC_CTX_POINTER(data)
               5:       61 61 4c 00 00 00 00 00 w1 = *(u32 *)(r6 + 0x4c)
          ;       bpf_printk("pre ipv6_hdrlen_offset");
               6:       18 01 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 r1 = 0x6 ll
                        0000000000000030:  R_BPF_64_64  .rodata
               8:       b4 02 00 00 17 00 00 00 w2 = 0x17
               9:       85 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 call 0x6
              10:       85 10 00 00 ff ff ff ff call -0x1
                        0000000000000050:  R_BPF_64_32  __bpf_trap
              11:       95 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 exit
          &lt;END&gt;
```
Eventually kernel verifier will emit the following logs:
```
      10: (85) call __bpf_trap#74479
      unexpected __bpf_trap() due to uninitialized variable?
```
In another internal sched-ext bpf prog, with the patch we have bpf code:
```

```
The verifier can easily report the error too.

A bpf flag `-bpf-disable-trap-unreachable` is introduced to disable
trapping for 'unreachable' or __builtin_trap.

Register assembly printer passes in the pass registry.

This makes it possible to use `llc -start-before=&lt;target&gt;-asm-printer ...` in tests.

Adds a `char &amp;ID` parameter to the AssemblyPrinter constructor to allow
targets to use the `INITIALIZE_PASS` macros and register the pass in the
pass registry. This currently has a default parameter so it won't break
any targets that have not been updated.</content>

<title>[TTI] Simplify implementation (NFCI) (#136674)</title>

<content type='text'>
Replace "concept based polymorphism" with simpler PImpl idiom.

This pursues two goals:
* Enforce static type checking. Previously, target implementations hid
base class methods and type checking was impossible. Now that they
override the methods, the compiler will complain on mismatched
signatures.
* Make the code easier to navigate. Previously, if you asked your
favorite LSP server to show a method (e.g. `getInstructionCost()`), it
would show you methods from `TTI`, `TTI::Concept`, `TTI::Model`,
`TTIImplBase`, and target overrides. Now it is two less :)

There are three commits to hopefully simplify the review.

The first commit removes `TTI::Model`. This is done by deriving
`TargetTransformInfoImplBase` from `TTI::Concept`. This is possible
because they implement the same set of interfaces with identical
signatures.

The first commit makes `TargetTransformImplBase` polymorphic, which
means all derived classes should `override` its methods. This is done in
second commit to make the first one smaller. It appeared infeasible to
extract this into a separate PR because the first commit landed
separately would result in tons of `-Woverloaded-virtual` warnings (and
break `-Werror` builds).

The third commit eliminates `TTI::Concept` by merging it with the only
derived class `TargetTransformImplBase`. This commit could be extracted
into a separate PR, but it touches the same lines in
`TargetTransformInfoImpl.h` (removes `override` added by the second
commit and adds `virtual`), so I thought it may make sense to land these
two commits together.

<title>Overhaul the TargetMachine and LLVMTargetMachine Classes (#111234)</title>

Following discussions in #110443, and the following earlier discussions
in https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-October/117907.html,
https://reviews.llvm.org/D38482, https://reviews.llvm.org/D38489, this
PR attempts to overhaul the `TargetMachine` and `LLVMTargetMachine`
interface classes. More specifically:
1. Makes `TargetMachine` the only class implemented under
`TargetMachine.h` in the `Target` library.
2. `TargetMachine` contains target-specific interface functions that
relate to IR/CodeGen/MC constructs, whereas before (at least on paper)
it was supposed to have only IR/MC constructs. Any Target that doesn't
want to use the independent code generator simply does not implement
them, and returns either `false` or `nullptr`.
3. Renames `LLVMTargetMachine` to `CodeGenCommonTMImpl`. This renaming
aims to make the purpose of `LLVMTargetMachine` clearer. Its interface
was moved under the CodeGen library, to further emphasis its usage in
Targets that use CodeGen directly.
4. Makes `TargetMachine` the only interface used across LLVM and its
projects. With these changes, `CodeGenCommonTMImpl` is simply a set of
shared function implementations of `TargetMachine`, and CodeGen users
don't need to static cast to `LLVMTargetMachine` every time they need a
CodeGen-specific feature of the `TargetMachine`.
5. More importantly, does not change any requirements regarding library
linking.

The early simplication pipeline is used in non-LTO and (Thin/Full)LTO
pre-link
stage. There are some passes that we want them in non-LTO mode, but not
at LTO
pre-link stage. The control is missing currently. This PR adds the
support. To
demonstrate the use, we only enable the internalization pass in non-LTO
mode for
AMDGPU because having it run in pre-link stage causes some issues.</content>
