Now that we've moved to C++14, we no longer need the llvm::make_unique
implementation from STLExtras.h. This patch is a mechanical replacement
of (hopefully) all the llvm::make_unique instances across the monorepo.

This patch aims to reduce spilling and register moves by using the 3-address
versions of instructions per default instead of the 2-address equivalent
ones. It seems that both spilling and register moves are improved noticeably
generally.
Regalloc hints are passed to increase conversions to 2-address instructions
which are done in SystemZShortenInst.cpp (after regalloc).
Since the SystemZ reg/mem instructions are 2-address (dst and lhs regs are
the same), foldMemoryOperandImpl() can no longer trivially fold a spilled
source register since the reg/reg instruction is now 3-address. In order to
remedy this, new 3-address pseudo memory instructions are used to perform the
folding only when the dst and lhs virtual registers are known to be allocated
to the same physreg. In order to not let MachineCopyPropagation run and
change registers on these transformed instructions (making it 3-address), a
new target pass called SystemZPostRewrite.cpp is run just after
VirtRegRewriter, that immediately lowers the pseudo to a target instruction.
If it would have been possibe to insert a COPY instruction and change a
register operand (convert to 2-address) in foldMemoryOperandImpl() while
trusting that the caller (e.g. InlineSpiller) would update/repair the
involved LiveIntervals, the solution involving pseudo instructions would not
have been needed. This is perhaps a potential improvement (see Phabricator
post).
Common code changes:
* A new hook TargetPassConfig::addPostRewrite() is utilized to be able to run a
target pass immediately before MachineCopyPropagation.
* VirtRegMap is passed as an argument to foldMemoryOperand().

Other opcodes shouldn't be CSE'd until we can be sure debug info quality won't
be degraded.
This change also improves the IRTranslator so that in most places, but not all,
it creates constants using the MIRBuilder directly instead of first creating a
new destination vreg and then creating a constant. By doing this, the
buildConstant() method can just return the vreg of an existing G_CONSTANT
instead of having to create a COPY from it.
I measured a 0.2% improvement in compile time and a 0.9% improvement in code
size at -O0 ARM64.

Because CodeGen can't depend on GlobalISel, we need a way to encapsulate the CSE
configs that can be passed between TargetPassConfig and the targets' custom
pass configs. This CSEConfigBase allows targets to create custom CSE configs
which is then used by the GISel passes for the CSEMIRBuilder.
This support will be used in a follow up commit to allow constant-only CSE for

Summary:
Prior to r310876 one of our out-of-tree targets was enabling IPRA by modifying
the TargetOptions::EnableIPRA. This no longer works on current trunk since the
useIPRA() hook overrides any values that are set in advance. This patch adjusts
the behaviour of the hook so that API users and useIPRA() can both enable it
but useIPRA() cannot disable it if the API user already enabled it.

Change meaning of TargetOptions::EnableGlobalISel. The flag was
previously set only when a target switched on GlobalISel but it is now
always set when the GlobalISel pipeline is enabled. This makes the flag
consistent with TargetOptions::EnableFastISel and allows its use in
other parts of the compiler to determine when GlobalISel is enabled.
The EnableGlobalISel flag had previouly only one use in
TargetPassConfig::isGlobalISelAbortEnabled(). The method used its value
to determine if GlobalISel was enabled by a target and returned false in
such a case. To preserve the current behaviour, a new flag
TargetOptions::GlobalISelAbort is introduced to separately record the

If GlobalISel triggers the fallback path then the MIR can be left in a bad

verifying between GlobalISel passes will prevent the fallback path from
recovering from this. As a result, we bail out of verifying a function if the

This adds functionality to the outliner that allows targets to
specify certain functions that should be outlined from by default.
If a target supports default outlining, then it specifies that in
its TargetOptions. In the case that it does, and the user hasn't
specified that they *never* want to outline, the outliner will
be added to the pass pipeline and will run on those default functions.

Targets should be able to define whether or not they support the outliner
without the outliner being added to the pass pipeline. Before this, the
outliner pass would be added, and ask the target whether or not it supports the
outliner.
After this, it's possible to query the target in TargetPassConfig, before the
outliner pass is created. This ensures that passing -enable-machine-outliner
will not modify the pass pipeline of any target that does not support it.

Summary:
This pass sinks COPY instructions into a successor block, if the COPY is not
used in the current block and the COPY is live-in to a single successor
(i.e., doesn't require the COPY to be duplicated). This avoids executing the
the copy on paths where their results aren't needed. This also exposes
additional opportunites for dead copy elimination and shrink wrapping.
These copies were either not handled by or are inserted after the MachineSink
pass. As an example of the former case, the MachineSink pass cannot sink
COPY instructions with allocatable source registers; for AArch64 these type
of copy instructions are frequently used to move function parameters (PhyReg)
into virtual registers in the entry block..
For the machine IR below, this pass will sink %w19 in the entry into its
successor (%bb.1) because %w19 is only live-in in %bb.1.
```
%bb.0:
%wzr = SUBSWri %w1, 1
%w19 = COPY %w0
Bcc 11, %bb.2
%bb.1:
Live Ins: %w19
BL @fun
%w0 = ADDWrr %w0, %w19
RET %w0
%bb.2:
%w0 = COPY %wzr
RET %w0
```
As we sink %w19 (CSR in AArch64) into %bb.1, the shrink-wrapping pass will be
able to see %bb.0 as a candidate.
With this change I observed 12% more shrink-wrapping candidate and 13% more dead copies deleted in spec2000/2006/2017 on AArch64.

Summary:
First, we need to explain the core of the vulnerability. Note that this
is a very incomplete description, please see the Project Zero blog post
for details:
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2018/01/reading-privileged-memory-with-side.html
The basis for branch target injection is to direct speculative execution
of the processor to some "gadget" of executable code by poisoning the
prediction of indirect branches with the address of that gadget. The
gadget in turn contains an operation that provides a side channel for
reading data. Most commonly, this will look like a load of secret data
followed by a branch on the loaded value and then a load of some
predictable cache line. The attacker then uses timing of the processors
cache to determine which direction the branch took *in the speculative
execution*, and in turn what one bit of the loaded value was. Due to the
nature of these timing side channels and the branch predictor on Intel
processors, this allows an attacker to leak data only accessible to
a privileged domain (like the kernel) back into an unprivileged domain.
The goal is simple: avoid generating code which contains an indirect
branch that could have its prediction poisoned by an attacker. In many
cases, the compiler can simply use directed conditional branches and
a small search tree. LLVM already has support for lowering switches in
this way and the first step of this patch is to disable jump-table
lowering of switches and introduce a pass to rewrite explicit indirectbr
sequences into a switch over integers.
However, there is no fully general alternative to indirect calls. We
introduce a new construct we call a "retpoline" to implement indirect
calls in a non-speculatable way. It can be thought of loosely as
a trampoline for indirect calls which uses the RET instruction on x86.
Further, we arrange for a specific call->ret sequence which ensures the
processor predicts the return to go to a controlled, known location. The
retpoline then "smashes" the return address pushed onto the stack by the
call with the desired target of the original indirect call. The result
is a predicted return to the next instruction after a call (which can be
used to trap speculative execution within an infinite loop) and an
actual indirect branch to an arbitrary address.
On 64-bit x86 ABIs, this is especially easily done in the compiler by
using a guaranteed scratch register to pass the target into this device.
For 32-bit ABIs there isn't a guaranteed scratch register and so several
different retpoline variants are introduced to use a scratch register if
one is available in the calling convention and to otherwise use direct
stack push/pop sequences to pass the target address.
This "retpoline" mitigation is fully described in the following blog
post: https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/7625886
We also support a target feature that disables emission of the retpoline
thunk by the compiler to allow for custom thunks if users want them.
These are particularly useful in environments like kernels that
routinely do hot-patching on boot and want to hot-patch their thunk to
different code sequences. They can write this custom thunk and use
`-mretpoline-external-thunk` *in addition* to `-mretpoline`. In this
case, on x86-64 thu thunk names must be:
```
__llvm_external_retpoline_r11
```
or on 32-bit:
```
__llvm_external_retpoline_eax
__llvm_external_retpoline_ecx
__llvm_external_retpoline_edx
__llvm_external_retpoline_push
```
And the target of the retpoline is passed in the named register, or in
the case of the `push` suffix on the top of the stack via a `pushl`
instruction.
There is one other important source of indirect branches in x86 ELF
binaries: the PLT. These patches also include support for LLD to
generate PLT entries that perform a retpoline-style indirection.
The only other indirect branches remaining that we are aware of are from
precompiled runtimes (such as crt0.o and similar). The ones we have
found are not really attackable, and so we have not focused on them
here, but eventually these runtimes should also be replicated for
retpoline-ed configurations for completeness.
For kernels or other freestanding or fully static executables, the
compiler switch `-mretpoline` is sufficient to fully mitigate this
particular attack. For dynamic executables, you must compile *all*
libraries with `-mretpoline` and additionally link the dynamic
executable and all shared libraries with LLD and pass `-z retpolineplt`
(or use similar functionality from some other linker). We strongly
recommend also using `-z now` as non-lazy binding allows the
retpoline-mitigated PLT to be substantially smaller.
When manually apply similar transformations to `-mretpoline` to the
Linux kernel we observed very small performance hits to applications
running typical workloads, and relatively minor hits (approximately 2%)
even for extremely syscall-heavy applications. This is largely due to
the small number of indirect branches that occur in performance
sensitive paths of the kernel.
When using these patches on statically linked applications, especially
C++ applications, you should expect to see a much more dramatic
performance hit. For microbenchmarks that are switch, indirect-, or
virtual-call heavy we have seen overheads ranging from 10% to 50%.
However, real-world workloads exhibit substantially lower performance
impact. Notably, techniques such as PGO and ThinLTO dramatically reduce
the impact of hot indirect calls (by speculatively promoting them to
direct calls) and allow optimized search trees to be used to lower
switches. If you need to deploy these techniques in C++ applications, we
*strongly* recommend that you ensure all hot call targets are statically
linked (avoiding PLT indirection) and use both PGO and ThinLTO. Well
tuned servers using all of these techniques saw 5% - 10% overhead from
the use of retpoline.
We will add detailed documentation covering these components in
subsequent patches, but wanted to make the core functionality available
as soon as possible. Happy for more code review, but we'd really like to
get these patches landed and backported ASAP for obvious reasons. We're
planning to backport this to both 6.0 and 5.0 release streams and get
a 5.0 release with just this cherry picked ASAP for distros and vendors.
This patch is the work of a number of people over the past month: Eric, Reid,
Rui, and myself. I'm mailing it out as a single commit due to the time
sensitive nature of landing this and the need to backport it. Huge thanks to
everyone who helped out here, and everyone at Intel who helped out in
discussions about how to craft this. Also, credit goes to Paul Turner (at
Google, but not an LLVM contributor) for much of the underlying retpoline
design.
