ad699c862c LowerBitSets: Extend pass to support functions as bitset members.
This change extends the bitset lowering pass to support bitsets that may
contain either functions or global variables. A function bitset is lowered to
a jump table that is laid out before one of the functions in the bitset.

Also add support for non-string bitset identifier names. This allows for
distinct metadata nodes to stand in for names with internal linkage,
as done in D11857.

9308abaa99 Try to clarify the semantics of fptrunc
* ``the value cannot fit within the destination type`` is ambiguous.
  It could mean overflow, underflow (not in the IEEE-754 sense) or a
  result that cannot be exactly represented and requires rounding or it
  could mean some combination of these. The semantics now state it means
  overflow **only**.

* Using "truncation" in the semantics is very misleading given that it
  doesn't necessarily truncate (i.e. round to zero). For example on
  x86_64 with SSE2 this is currently mapped to cvtsd2ss instruction
  who's rounding behaviour is dependent on the MXCSR register which
  is usually set to round to nearest even by default. The semantics
  now state that the rounding mode is undefined.

226889eb73 [WinEH] Add cleanupendpad instruction
Summary:
Add a `cleanupendpad` instruction, used to mark exceptional exits out of
cleanups (for languages/targets that can abort a cleanup with another
exception).  The `cleanupendpad` instruction is similar to the `catchendpad`
instruction in that it is an EH pad which is the target of unwind edges in
the handler and which itself has an unwind edge to the next EH action.
The `cleanupendpad` instruction, similar to `cleanupret` has a `cleanuppad`
argument indicating which cleanup it exits.  The unwind successors of a
`cleanuppad`'s `cleanupendpad`s must agree with each other and with its
`cleanupret`s.

Update WinEHPrepare (and docs/tests) to accomodate `cleanupendpad`.

1cded9afe4 add unpredictable metadata type for control flow
This patch defines 'unpredictable' metadata. This metadata can be used to signal to the optimizer
or backend that a branch or switch is unpredictable, and therefore, it's probably better to not
split a compound predicate into multiple branches such as in CodeGenPrepare::splitBranchCondition().

This was discussed in:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23827

d4a765f88a [WinEH] Require token linkage in EH pad/ret signatures
Summary:
WinEHPrepare is going to require that cleanuppad and catchpad produce values
of token type which are consumed by any cleanupret or catchret exiting the
pad.  This change updates the signatures of those operators to require/enforce
that the type produced by the pads is token type and that the rets have an
appropriate argument.

The catchpad argument of a `CatchReturnInst` must be a `CatchPadInst` (and
similarly for `CleanupReturnInst`/`CleanupPadInst`).  To accommodate that
restriction, this change adds a notion of an operator constraint to both
LLParser and BitcodeReader, allowing appropriate sentinels to be constructed
for forward references and appropriate error messages to be emitted for
illegal inputs.

Also add a verifier rule (noted in LangRef) that a catchpad with a catchpad
predecessor must have no other predecessors; this ensures that WinEHPrepare
will see the expected linear relationship between sibling catches on the
same try.

Lastly, remove some superfluous/vestigial casts from instruction operand
setters operating on BasicBlocks.

de17e7736f [IR] Give catchret an optional 'return value' operand
Some personality routines require funclet exit points to be clearly
marked, this is done by producing a token at the funclet pad and
consuming it at the corresponding ret instruction.  CleanupReturnInst
already had a spot for this operand but CatchReturnInst did not.
Other personality routines don't need to use this which is why it has
been made optional.

2dacece9e2 [IR] Add token types
This introduces the basic functionality to support "token types".
The motivation stems from the need to perform operations on a Value
whose provenance cannot be obscured.

There are several applications for such a type but my immediate
motivation stems from WinEH.  Our personality routine enforces a
single-entry - single-exit regime for cleanups.  After several rounds of
optimizations, we may be left with a terminator whose "cleanup-entry
block" is not entirely clear because control flow has merged two
cleanups together.  We have experimented with using labels as operands
inside of instructions which are not terminators to indicate where we
came from but found that LLVM does not expect such exotic uses of
BasicBlocks.

Instead, we can use this new type to clearly associate the "entry point"
and "exit point" of our cleanup.  This is done by having the cleanuppad
yield a Token and consuming it at the cleanupret.
The token type makes it impossible to obscure or otherwise hide the
Value, making it trivial to track the relationship between the two
points.

What is the burden to the optimizer?  Well, it turns out we have already
paid down this cost by accepting that there are certain calls that we
are not permitted to duplicate, optimizations have to watch out for
such instructions anyway.  There are additional places in the optimizer
that we will probably have to update but early examination has given me
the impression that this will not be heroic.

214aad9f31 Add new llvm.loop.unroll.enable metadata.
This change adds the unroll metadata "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" which directs
the optimizer to unroll a loop fully if the trip count is known at compile time, and
unroll partially if the trip count is not known at compile time. This differs from
"llvm.loop.unroll.full" which explicitly does not unroll a loop if the trip count is not
known at compile time.

The "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" is intended to be added for loops annotated with
"#pragma unroll".

bf2040f00c DI: Remove DW_TAG_arg_variable and DW_TAG_auto_variable
Remove the fake `DW_TAG_auto_variable` and `DW_TAG_arg_variable` tags,
using `DW_TAG_variable` in their place Stop exposing the `tag:` field at
all in the assembly format for `DILocalVariable`.

Most of the testcase updates were generated by the following sed script:

    find test/ -name "*.ll" -o -name "*.mir" |
    xargs grep -l 'DILocalVariable' |
    xargs sed -i '' \
      -e 's/tag: DW_TAG_arg_variable, //' \
      -e 's/tag: DW_TAG_auto_variable, //'

There were only a handful of tests in `test/Assembly` that I needed to
update by hand.

(Note: a follow-up could change `DILocalVariable::DILocalVariable()` to
set the tag to `DW_TAG_formal_parameter` instead of `DW_TAG_variable`
(as appropriate), instead of having that logic magically in the backend
in `DbgVariable`.  I've added a FIXME to that effect.)

Current C/C++ TLS variables are not placed in common section.
DWARF debug info to get the address of TLS variables is not generated yet.

clang and driver changes in http://reviews.llvm.org/D10524

  Added -femulated-tls flag to select the emulated TLS model,
  which will be used for old targets like Android that do not
  support ELF TLS models.

Added TargetLowering::LowerToTLSEmulatedModel as a target-independent
function to convert a SDNode of TLS variable address to a function call
to __emutls_get_address.

Added into lib/Target/*/*ISelLowering.cpp to call LowerToTLSEmulatedModel
for TLSModel::Emulated. Although all targets supporting ELF TLS models are
enhanced, emulated TLS model has been tested only for Android ELF targets.
Modified AsmPrinter.cpp to print the emutls_v.* and emutls_t.* variables for
emulated TLS variables.
Modified DwarfCompileUnit.cpp to skip some DIE for emulated TLS variabls.

TODO: Add proper DIE for emulated TLS variables.
      Added new unit tests with emulated TLS.

cbfbb3ee4c DI/Verifier: Fix argument bitrot in DILocalVariable
Add a verifier check that `DILocalVariable`s of tag
`DW_TAG_arg_variable` always have a non-zero 'arg:' field, and those of
tag `DW_TAG_auto_variable` always have a zero 'arg:' field.  These are
the only configurations that are properly understood by the backend.

(Also, fix the bad examples in LangRef and test/Assembler, and fix the
bug in Kaleidoscope Ch8.)

A large number of testcases seem to have bitrotted their way forward
from some ancient version of the debug info hierarchy that didn't have
`arg:` parameters.  If you have out-of-tree testcases that start failing
in the verifier and you don't care enough to get the `arg:` right, you
may have some luck just calling:

    sed -e 's/, arg: 0/, arg: 1/'

or some such, but I hand-updated the ones in tree.

43afab3bdb Extended syntax of vector version of getelementptr instruction.
The justification of this change is here: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-March/082989.html

According to the current GEP syntax, vector GEP requires that each index must be a vector with the same number of elements.

%A = getelementptr i8, <4 x i8*> %ptrs, <4 x i64> %offsets

In this implementation I let each index be or vector or scalar. All vector indices must have the same number of elements. The scalar value will mean the splat vector value.

(1) %A = getelementptr i8, i8* %ptr, <4 x i64> %offsets
or
(2) %A = getelementptr i8, <4 x i8*> %ptrs, i64 %offset

In all cases the %A type is <4 x i8*>

In the case (2) we add the same offset to all pointers.

The case (1) covers C[B[i]] case, when we have the same base C and different offsets B[i].

The documentation is updated.

8f32e5f0d6 Rename llvm.frameescape and llvm.framerecover to localescape and localrecover
Summary:
Initially, these intrinsics seemed like part of a family of "frame"
related intrinsics, but now I think that's more confusing than helpful.
Initially, the LangRef specified that this would create a new kind of
allocation that would be allocated at a fixed offset from the frame
pointer (EBP/RBP). We ended up dropping that design, and leaving the
stack frame layout alone.

These intrinsics are really about sharing local stack allocations, not
frame pointers. I intend to go further and add an `llvm.localaddress()`
intrinsic that returns whatever register (EBP, ESI, ESP, RBX) is being
used to address locals, which should not be confused with the frame
pointer.

Naming suggestions at this point are welcome, I'm happy to re-run sed.

fd8c98591d COFF: Do not assign linker-weak symbols to selectany comdat sections.
It is mandatory to specify a comdat in order to receive comdat semantics
for a symbol. We were previously getting this wrong in -function-sections
mode; linker-weak symbols were being emitted in a selectany comdat. This
change causes such symbols to use a noduplicates comdat instead, fixing
the inconsistency.

Also correct an inaccuracy in the docs.

cc714e2142 Move the personality function from LandingPadInst to Function
The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.

This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
  personality routine.  This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
  first has an operand which produces no additional information.

- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
  LandingPadInst.  Moving the personality routine off of any one
  particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
  than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
  exceptional function.

7ffec838a2 Protection against stack-based memory corruption errors using SafeStack
This patch adds the safe stack instrumentation pass to LLVM, which separates
the program stack into a safe stack, which stores return addresses, register
spills, and local variables that are statically verified to be accessed
in a safe way, and the unsafe stack, which stores everything else. Such
separation makes it much harder for an attacker to corrupt objects on the
safe stack, including function pointers stored in spilled registers and
return addresses. You can find more information about the safe stack, as
well as other parts of or control-flow hijack protection technique in our
OSDI paper on code-pointer integrity (http://dslab.epfl.ch/pubs/cpi.pdf)
and our project website (http://levee.epfl.ch).

The overhead of our implementation of the safe stack is very close to zero
(0.01% on the Phoronix benchmarks). This is lower than the overhead of
stack cookies, which are supported by LLVM and are commonly used today,
yet the security guarantees of the safe stack are strictly stronger than
stack cookies. In some cases, the safe stack improves performance due to
better cache locality.

Our current implementation of the safe stack is stable and robust, we
used it to recompile multiple projects on Linux including Chromium, and
we also recompiled the entire FreeBSD user-space system and more than 100
packages. We ran unit tests on the FreeBSD system and many of the packages
and observed no errors caused by the safe stack. The safe stack is also fully
binary compatible with non-instrumented code and can be applied to parts of
a program selectively.

This patch is our implementation of the safe stack on top of LLVM. The
patches make the following changes:

- Add the safestack function attribute, similar to the ssp, sspstrong and
  sspreq attributes.

- Add the SafeStack instrumentation pass that applies the safe stack to all
  functions that have the safestack attribute. This pass moves all unsafe local
  variables to the unsafe stack with a separate stack pointer, whereas all
  safe variables remain on the regular stack that is managed by LLVM as usual.

- Invoke the pass as the last stage before code generation (at the same time
  the existing cookie-based stack protector pass is invoked).

- Add unit tests for the safe stack.

Original patch by Volodymyr Kuznetsov and others at the Dependable Systems
Lab at EPFL; updates and upstreaming by myself.

6af0f89f37 [IR/AsmWriter] Output escape sequences if the first character isdigit()
If the first character in a metadata attachment's name is a digit, it has
to be output using an escape sequence, otherwise it's not valid text IR.

Removed an over-zealous assert from LLVMContext which didn't allow this.
The rule should only apply to text IR. Actual names can have any sequence
of non-NUL bytes.

Also added some documentation on accepted names.

Bug found with AFL fuzz.

d6a9af6fd3 [Docs] Fix scoped noalias example
Summary:
As far as I understand the entire point of this example is to show that
if noalias is not a superset/equal to the alias.scope list on a scope
domain then load could reference locations that the store is not known
to not-alias i.e may alias.

e56023a059 IR: Give 'DI' prefix to debug info metadata
Finish off PR23080 by renaming the debug info IR constructs from `MD*`
to `DI*`.  The last of the `DIDescriptor` classes were deleted in
r235356, and the last of the related typedefs removed in r235413, so
this has all baked for about a week.

Note: If you have out-of-tree code (like a frontend), I recommend that
you get everything compiling and tests passing with the *previous*
commit before updating to this one.  It'll be easier to keep track of
what code is using the `DIDescriptor` hierarchy and what you've already
updated, and I think you're extremely unlikely to insert bugs.  YMMV of
course.

Back to *this* commit: I did this using the rename-md-di-nodes.sh
upgrade script I've attached to PR23080 (both code and testcases) and
filtered through clang-format-diff.py.  I edited the tests for
test/Assembler/invalid-generic-debug-node-*.ll by hand since the columns
were off-by-three.  It should work on your out-of-tree testcases (and
code, if you've followed the advice in the previous paragraph).

Some of the tests are in badly named files now (e.g.,
test/Assembler/invalid-mdcompositetype-missing-tag.ll should be
'dicompositetype'); I'll come back and move the files in a follow-up
commit.

Just above, 'op2' is stated to be unsigned, so 'negative' doesn't make
sense (and is handled by "larger than" anyway). The descriptions for
lshr and ashr don't say 'negative or' either.
