This commit purges direct accesses to MD_prof metadata and replaces them
with the accessors provided from the utility file wherever possible.
This commit can be seen as the first step towards switching the branch weights to 64 bits.

The function name was misleading - the expectation set both by the name
and by other members of Function (like isDeclaration or isIntrinsic)
would be that the function somehow would "be" "debug info for
profiling". But that's not the case - the property indicates (as the
comment over the declaration also explains) whether debug info should be
emitted (for profiling).

The Assignment Tracking debug-info feature is outlined in this RFC:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/
rfc-assignment-tracking-a-better-way-of-specifying-variable-locations-in-ir
Overview
It's possible to find intrinsics linked to an instruction by looking at the
MetadataAsValue uses of the attached DIAssignID. That covers instruction ->
intrinsic(s) lookup. Add a global DIAssignID -> instruction(s) map which gives
us the ability to perform intrinsic -> instruction(s) lookup. Add plumbing to
keep the map up to date through optimisations and add utility functions
including two that perform those lookups. Finally, add a unittest.
Details
In llvm/lib/IR/LLVMContextImpl.h add AssignmentIDToInstrs which maps DIAssignID
* attachments to Instruction *s. Because the DIAssignID * is the key we can't
use a TrackingMDNodeRef for it, and therefore cannot easily update the mapping
when a temporary DIAssignID is replaced.
Temporary DIAssignID's are only used in IR parsing to deal with metadata
forward references. Update llvm/lib/AsmParser/LLParser.cpp to avoid using
temporary DIAssignID's for attachments.
In llvm/lib/IR/Metadata.cpp add Instruction::updateDIAssignIDMapping which is
called to remove or add an entry (or both) to AssignmentIDToInstrs. Call this
from Instruction::setMetadata and add a call to setMetadata in Intruction's
dtor that explicitly unsets the DIAssignID so that the mappging gets updated.
In llvm/lib/IR/DebugInfo.cpp and DebugInfo.h add utility functions:
getAssignmentInsts(const DbgAssignIntrinsic *DAI)
getAssignmentMarkers(const Instruction *Inst)
RAUW(DIAssignID *Old, DIAssignID *New)
deleteAll(Function *F)

Add UNIQUED and DISTINCT properties in Metadata.def and use them to
implement restrictions on the `distinct` property of MDNodes:
* DIExpression can currently be parsed from IR or read from bitcode
as `distinct`, but this property is silently dropped when printing
to IR. This causes accepted IR to fail to round-trip. As DIExpression
appears inline at each use in the canonical form of IR, it cannot
actually be `distinct` anyway, as there is no syntax to describe it.
* Similarly, DIArgList is conceptually always uniqued. It is currently
restricted to only appearing in contexts where there is no syntax for
`distinct`, but for consistency it is treated equivalently to
DIExpression in this patch.
* DICompileUnit is already restricted to always being `distinct`, but
along with adding general support for the inverse restriction I went
ahead and described this in Metadata.def and updated the parser to be
general. Future nodes which have this restriction can share this
support.
The new UNIQUED property applies to DIExpression and DIArgList, and
forbids them to be `distinct`. It also implies they are canonically
printed inline at each use, rather than via MDNode ID.
The new DISTINCT property applies to DICompileUnit, and requires it to
be `distinct`.
A potential alternative change is to forbid the non-inline syntax for
DIExpression entirely, as is done with DIArgList implicitly by requiring
it appear in the context of a function. For example, we would forbid:
!named = !{!0}
!0 = !DIExpression()
Instead we would only accept the equivalent inlined version:
!named = !{!DIExpression()}
This essentially removes the ability to create a `distinct` DIExpression
by construction, as there is no syntax for `distinct` inline. If this
patch is accepted as-is, the result would be that the non-canonical
version is accepted, but the following would be an error and produce a diagnostic:
!named = !{!0}
; error: 'distinct' not allowed for !DIExpression()
!0 = distinct !DIExpression()
Also update some documentation to consistently use the inline syntax for
DIExpression, and to describe the restrictions on `distinct` for nodes
where applicable.

insertion to be non-deterministic. This patch changes getAllArgListUsers

This patch adds a new metadata node, DIArgList, which contains a list of SSA
values. This node is in many ways similar in function to the existing
ValueAsMetadata node, with the difference being that it tracks a list instead of
a single value. Internally, it uses ValueAsMetadata to track the individual
values, but there is also a reasonable amount of DIArgList-specific
value-tracking logic on top of that. Similar to ValueAsMetadata, it is a special
case in parsing and printing due to the fact that it requires a function state
(as it may reference function-local values).
This patch should not result in any immediate functional change; it allows for
DIArgLists to be parsed and printed, but debug variable intrinsics do not yet
recognize them as a valid argument (outside of parsing).

There is a library layering issue. LLVMAnalysis provides llvm/Analysis/ScopedNoAliasAA.h and depends on LLVMCore.
LLVMCore provides llvm/IR/Metadata.cpp and it should not include a header file in LLVMAnalysis
|
|
When MemCpyOpt performs call slot optimization it will concatenate the `alias.scope` metadata between the function call and the memcpy. However, scoped AA relies on the domains in metadata to be maintained in a caller-callee relationship. Naive concatenation breaks this assumption leading to bad AA results.
The fix is to take the intersection of domains then union the scopes within those domains.
The original bug came from a case of rust bad codegen which uses this bad aliasing to perform additional memcpy optimizations. As show in the added test case `%src` got forwarded past its lifetime leading to a dereference of garbage data.

Summary:
First patch to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization Enablement,
see RFC here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
Always emit !vcall_visibility metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
and not just for -fvirtual-function-elimination. The vcall visibility
metadata will (in a subsequent patch) be used to communicate to WPD
which vtables are safe to devirtualize, and we will optionally convert
the metadata to hidden visibility at link time. Subsequent follow on
patches will help enable this by adding vcall_visibility metadata to the
ThinLTO summaries, and always emit type test intrinsics under
-fwhole-program-vtables (and not just for vtables with hidden
visibility).
In order to do this safely with VFE, since for VFE all vtable loads must
be type checked loads which will no longer be the case, this patch adds
a new "Virtual Function Elim" module flag to communicate to GlobalDCE
whether to perform VFE using the vcall_visibility metadata.
One additional advantage of using the vcall_visibility metadata to drive
more WPD at LTO link time is that we can use the same mechanism to
enable more aggressive VFE at LTO link time as well. The link time
option proposed in the RFC will convert vcall_visibility metadata to
hidden (aka linkage unit visibility), which combined with
-fvirtual-function-elimination will allow it to be done more
aggressively at LTO link time under the same conditions.

Remove dead virtual functions from vtables with
replaceNonMetadataUsesWith, so that CGProfile metadata gets cleaned up
correctly.
Original commit message:
Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual
functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced
by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live
code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there
are no call sites which can use it.
This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and
regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match
virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This
information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead
of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately
determine which functions are reachable.
To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to
always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load
intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing
this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test
and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible
for optimisations to obscure the relationship between the GEP, load and
llvm.type.test, causing GlobalDCE to fail to find virtual function call
sites.
The existing linkage and visibility types don't accurately describe the scope
in which a virtual call could be made which uses a given vtable. This is
wider than the visibility of the type itself, because a virtual function call
could be made using a more-visible base class. I've added a new
!vcall_visibility metadata type to represent this, described in
TypeMetadata.rst. The internalization pass and libLTO have been updated to
change this metadata when linking is performed.
This doesn't currently work with ThinLTO, because it needs to see every call
to llvm.type.checked.load in the linkage unit. It might be possible to
extend this optimisation to be able to use the ThinLTO summary, as was done
for devirtualization, but until then that combination is rejected in the
clang driver.
To test this, I've written a fuzzer which generates random C++ programs with
complex class inheritance graphs, and virtual functions called through object
and function pointers of different types. The programs are spread across
multiple translation units and DSOs to test the different visibility
restrictions.
I've also tried doing bootstrap builds of LLVM to test this. This isn't
ideal, because only classes in anonymous namespaces can be optimised with
-fvisibility=default, and some parts of LLVM (plugins and bugpoint) do not
work correctly with -fvisibility=hidden. However, there are only 12 test
failures when building with -fvisibility=hidden (and an unmodified compiler),
and this change does not cause any new failures for either value of
-fvisibility.
On the 7 C++ sub-benchmarks of SPEC2006, this gives a geomean code-size
reduction of ~6%, over a baseline compiled with "-O2 -flto
-fvisibility=hidden -fwhole-program-vtables". The best cases are reductions
of ~14% in 450.soplex and 483.xalancbmk, and there are no code size
increases.
I've also run this on a set of 8 mbed-os examples compiled for Armv7M, which
show a geomean size reduction of ~3%, again with no size increases.
I had hoped that this would have no effect on performance, which would allow
it to awlays be enabled (when using -fwhole-program-vtables). However, the
changes in clang to use the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic are causing ~1%
performance regression in the C++ parts of SPEC2006. It should be possible to
recover some of this perf loss by teaching optimisations about the
llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, which would make it worth turning this on
by default (though it's still dependent on -fwhole-program-vtables).

Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual
functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced
by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live
code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there
are no call sites which can use it.
This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and
regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match
virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This
information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead
of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately
determine which functions are reachable.
To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to
always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load
intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing
this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test
and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible
for optimisations to obscure the relationship between the GEP, load and
llvm.type.test, causing GlobalDCE to fail to find virtual function call
sites.
The existing linkage and visibility types don't accurately describe the scope
in which a virtual call could be made which uses a given vtable. This is
wider than the visibility of the type itself, because a virtual function call
could be made using a more-visible base class. I've added a new
!vcall_visibility metadata type to represent this, described in
TypeMetadata.rst. The internalization pass and libLTO have been updated to
change this metadata when linking is performed.
This doesn't currently work with ThinLTO, because it needs to see every call
to llvm.type.checked.load in the linkage unit. It might be possible to
extend this optimisation to be able to use the ThinLTO summary, as was done
for devirtualization, but until then that combination is rejected in the
clang driver.
To test this, I've written a fuzzer which generates random C++ programs with
complex class inheritance graphs, and virtual functions called through object
and function pointers of different types. The programs are spread across
multiple translation units and DSOs to test the different visibility
restrictions.
I've also tried doing bootstrap builds of LLVM to test this. This isn't
ideal, because only classes in anonymous namespaces can be optimised with
-fvisibility=default, and some parts of LLVM (plugins and bugpoint) do not
work correctly with -fvisibility=hidden. However, there are only 12 test
failures when building with -fvisibility=hidden (and an unmodified compiler),
and this change does not cause any new failures for either value of
-fvisibility.
On the 7 C++ sub-benchmarks of SPEC2006, this gives a geomean code-size
reduction of ~6%, over a baseline compiled with "-O2 -flto
-fvisibility=hidden -fwhole-program-vtables". The best cases are reductions
of ~14% in 450.soplex and 483.xalancbmk, and there are no code size
increases.
I've also run this on a set of 8 mbed-os examples compiled for Armv7M, which
show a geomean size reduction of ~3%, again with no size increases.
I had hoped that this would have no effect on performance, which would allow
it to awlays be enabled (when using -fwhole-program-vtables). However, the
changes in clang to use the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic are causing ~1%
performance regression in the C++ parts of SPEC2006. It should be possible to
recover some of this perf loss by teaching optimisations about the
llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, which would make it worth turning this on
by default (though it's still dependent on -fwhole-program-vtables).

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.
