As discussed in https://reviews.llvm.org/D22666, our current mechanism to
support -pg profiling, where we insert calls to mcount(), or some similar
function, is fundamentally broken. We insert these calls in the frontend, which
means they get duplicated when inlining, and so the accumulated execution
counts for the inlined-into functions are wrong.
Because we don't want the presence of these functions to affect optimizaton,
they should be inserted in the backend. Here's a pass which would do just that.
The knowledge of the name of the counting function lives in the frontend, so
we're passing it here as a function attribute. Clang will be updated to use
this mechanism.

Re-apply this patch, hopefully I will get away without any warnings
in the constructor now.
This patch removes the MachineFunctionAnalysis. Instead we keep a
map from IR Function to MachineFunction in the MachineModuleInfo.
This allows the insertion of ModulePasses into the codegen pipeline
without breaking it because the MachineFunctionAnalysis gets dropped
before a module pass.
Peak memory should stay unchanged without a ModulePass in the codegen
pipeline: Previously the MachineFunction was freed at the end of a codegen
function pipeline because the MachineFunctionAnalysis was dropped; With
this patch the MachineFunction is freed after the AsmPrinter has

Software pipelining is an optimization for improving ILP by
overlapping loop iterations. Swing Modulo Scheduling (SMS) is
an implementation of software pipelining that attempts to
reduce register pressure and generate efficient pipelines with
a low compile-time cost.
This implementaion of SMS is a target-independent back-end pass.
When enabled, the pass should run just prior to the register
allocation pass, while the machine IR is in SSA form. If the pass
is successful, then the original loop is replaced by the optimized
loop. The optimized loop contains one or more prolog blocks, the
pipelined kernel, and one or more epilog blocks.
This pass is enabled for Hexagon only. To enable for other targets,
a couple of target specific hooks must be implemented, and the
pass needs to be called from the target's TargetMachine
implementation.

Summary:
In this patch we implement the following parts of XRay:
- Supporting a function attribute named 'function-instrument' which currently only supports 'xray-always'. We should be able to use this attribute for other instrumentation approaches.
- Supporting a function attribute named 'xray-instruction-threshold' used to determine whether a function is instrumented with a minimum number of instructions (IR instruction counts).
- X86-specific nop sleds as described in the white paper.
- A machine function pass that adds the different instrumentation marker instructions at a very late stage.
- A way of identifying which return opcode is considered "normal" for each architecture.
There are some caveats here:
1) We don't handle PATCHABLE_RET in platforms other than x86_64 yet -- this means if IR used PATCHABLE_RET directly instead of a normal ret, instruction lowering for that platform might do the wrong thing. We think this should be handled at instruction selection time to by default be unpacked for platforms where XRay is not availble yet.
2) The generated section for X86 is different from what is described from the white paper for the sole reason that LLVM allows us to do this neatly. We're taking the opportunity to deviate from the white paper from this perspective to allow us to get richer information from the runtime library.

The DetectDeadLanes pass performs a dataflow analysis of used/defined
subregister lanes across COPY instructions and instructions that will
get lowered to copies. It detects dead definitions and uses reading
undefined values which are obscured by COPY and subregister usage.
These dead definitions cause trouble in the register coalescer which
cannot deal with definitions suddenly becoming dead after coalescing
COPY instructions.
For now the pass only adds dead and undef flags to machine operands. It
should be possible to extend it in the future to remove the dead
instructions and redo the analysis for the affected virtual
registers.

This intrinsic takes two arguments, ``%ptr`` and ``%offset``. It loads
a 32-bit value from the address ``%ptr + %offset``, adds ``%ptr`` to that
value and returns it. The constant folder specifically recognizes the form of
this intrinsic and the constant initializers it may load from; if a loaded
constant initializer is known to have the form ``i32 trunc(x - %ptr)``,
the intrinsic call is folded to ``x``.
LLVM provides that the calculation of such a constant initializer will
not overflow at link time under the medium code model if ``x`` is an
``unnamed_addr`` function. However, it does not provide this guarantee for
a constant initializer folded into a function body. This intrinsic can be
used to avoid the possibility of overflows when loading from such a constant.

This is in preparation for tail duplication during block placement. See D18226.
This needs to be a utility class for 2 reasons. No passes may run after block
placement, and also, tail-duplication affects subsequent layout decisions, so
it must be interleaved with placement, and can't be separated out into its own
pass. The original pass is still useful, and now runs by delegating to the
utility class.

The rational for this change is that LLVMBuild cannot express conditional
dependencies. Therefore, when we start optionally using GlobalISel library for
say AArch64, without that change, all the tools that use the AArch64 library
would need to explicitly link with GlobalISel when we ask for it.
This does not scale.
Instead, we will set the dependencies between the target and GlobalISel and if
we did not ask to build GlobalISel, the library will just be empty.
Thanks to Chris Bieneman and Mehdi Animi for the idea.

The BPF and WebAssembly backends had identical code for emitting errors
for unsupported features, and AMDGPU had very similar code. This merges
them all into one DiagnosticInfo subclass, that can be used by any
backend.
There should be minimal functional changes here, but some AMDGPU tests
have been updated for the new format of errors (it used a slightly
different format to BPF and WebAssembly). The AMDGPU error messages will
now benefit from having precise source locations when debug info is
available.
The implementation of DiagnosticInfoUnsupported::print must be in
lib/Codegen rather than in the existing file in lib/IR/ to avoid
introducing a dependency from IR to CodeGen.

This commit a 3rd attempt at comitting the initial MIR serialization patch.
The first commit (r237708) was reverted in 237730. Then the second commit
(r237954) was reverted in r238007, as the MIR library under CodeGen caused
a circular dependency where the CodeGen library depended on MIR and MIR
library depended on CodeGen.
This commit has fixed the dependencies between CodeGen and MIR by
reorganizing the MIR serialization code - the code that prints out
MIR has been moved to CodeGen, and the MIR library has been renamed
to MIRParser. Now the CodeGen library doesn't depend on the
MIRParser library, thus the circular dependency no longer exists.

The first commit (r237708) made the incremental buildbots unstable and was
reverted in r237730. The original commit didn't add a terminating null
character to the LLVM IR source which was passed to LLParser, and this
sometimes caused the test 'llvmIR.mir' to fail with a parsing error because
the LLVM IR source didn't have a null character immediately after the end
and thus LLLexer encountered some garbage characters that ultimately caused
the error.
This commit also includes the other test fixes I committed in

This patch introduces a new pass that computes the safe point to insert the
prologue and epilogue of the function.
The interest is to find safe points that are cheaper than the entry and exits
blocks.
As an example and to avoid regressions to be introduce, this patch also
implements the required bits to enable the shrink-wrapping pass for AArch64.
** Context **
Currently we insert the prologue and epilogue of the method/function in the
entry and exits blocks. Although this is correct, we can do a better job when
those are not immediately required and insert them at less frequently executed
places.
The job of the shrink-wrapping pass is to identify such places.
** Motivating example **
Let us consider the following function that perform a call only in one branch of
a if:
define i32 @f(i32 %a, i32 %b) {
%tmp = alloca i32, align 4
%tmp2 = icmp slt i32 %a, %b
br i1 %tmp2, label %true, label %false
true:
store i32 %a, i32* %tmp, align 4
%tmp4 = call i32 @doSomething(i32 0, i32* %tmp)
br label %false
false:
%tmp.0 = phi i32 [ %tmp4, %true ], [ %a, %0 ]
ret i32 %tmp.0
}
On AArch64 this code generates (removing the cfi directives to ease
readabilities):
_f: ; @f
; BB#0:
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
mov x29, sp
sub sp, sp, #16 ; =16
cmp w0, w1
b.ge LBB0_2
; BB#1: ; %true
stur w0, [x29, #-4]

With shrink-wrapping we could generate:
_f: ; @f
; BB#0:
cmp w0, w1
b.ge LBB0_2
; BB#1: ; %true
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
mov x29, sp
sub sp, sp, #16 ; =16
stur w0, [x29, #-4]
sub x1, x29, #4 ; =4
mov w0, wzr
bl _doSomething
add sp, x29, #16 ; =16
ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
LBB0_2: ; %false
ret
Therefore, we would pay the overhead of setting up/destroying the frame only if
we actually do the call.
** Proposed Solution **
This patch introduces a new machine pass that perform the shrink-wrapping
analysis (See the comments at the beginning of ShrinkWrap.cpp for more details).
It then stores the safe save and restore point into the MachineFrameInfo
attached to the MachineFunction.
This information is then used by the PrologEpilogInserter (PEI) to place the
related code at the right place. This pass runs right before the PEI.
Unlike the original paper of Chow from PLDI’88, this implementation of
shrink-wrapping does not use expensive data-flow analysis and does not need hack
to properly avoid frequently executed point. Instead, it relies on dominance and
loop properties.
The pass is off by default and each target can opt-in by setting the
EnableShrinkWrap boolean to true in their derived class of TargetPassConfig.
This setting can also be overwritten on the command line by using
-enable-shrink-wrap.
Before you try out the pass for your target, make sure you properly fix your
emitProlog/emitEpilog/adjustForXXX method to cope with basic blocks that are not
necessarily the entry block.
** Design Decisions **
1. ShrinkWrap is its own pass right now. It could frankly be merged into PEI but
for debugging and clarity I thought it was best to have its own file.
2. Right now, we only support one save point and one restore point. At some
point we can expand this to several save point and restore point, the impacted
component would then be:
- The pass itself: New algorithm needed.
- MachineFrameInfo: Hold a list or set of Save/Restore point instead of one
pointer.
- PEI: Should loop over the save point and restore point.
Anyhow, at least for this first iteration, I do not believe this is interesting
to support the complex cases. We should revisit that when we motivating
examples.
