This patch introduces "DBG_PHI" instructions, a marker of where a PHI
instruction used to be, before PHI elimination. Under the instruction
referencing model, we want to know where every value in the function is
defined -- and a PHI, even if implicit, is such a place.
Just like instruction numbers, we can use this to identify a value to be
used as a variable value, but we don't need to know what instruction
defines that value, for example:
bb1:
DBG_PHI $rax, 1
[... more insts ... ]
bb2:
DBG_INSTR_REF 1, 0, !1234, !DIExpression()
This specifies that on entry to bb1, whatever value is in $rax is known
as value number one -- and the later DBG_INSTR_REF marks the position
where variable !1234 should take on value number one.
PHI locations are stored in MachineFunction for the duration of the
regalloc phase in the DebugPHIPositions map. The map is populated by
PHIElimination, and then flushed back into the instruction stream by
virtregrewriter. A small amount of maintenence is needed in
LiveDebugVariables to account for registers being split, but only for
individual positions, not for entire ranges of blocks.

Previously APFloat::convertToDouble may be called only for APFloats that

With this change any APFloat that can be precisely represented by double

This patch adds support for GCC's -fstack-usage flag. With this flag, a stack
usage file (i.e., .su file) is generated for each input source file. The format
of the stack usage file is also similar to what is used by GCC. For each
function defined in the source file, a line with the following information is
produced in the .su file.
<source_file>:<line_number>:<function_name> <size_in_byte> <static/dynamic>
"Static" means that the function's frame size is static and the size info is an
accurate reflection of the frame size. While "dynamic" means the function's
frame size can only be determined at run-time because the function manipulates
the stack dynamically (e.g., due to variable size objects). The size info only
reflects the size of the fixed size frame objects in this case and therefore is
not a reliable measure of the total frame size.

This patch adds a fallthrough bit to basic block metadata, indicating whether the basic block can fallthrough without taking any branches. The bit will help us avoid an intel LBR bug which results in occasional duplicate entries at the beginning of the LBR stack.
This patch uses `MachineBasicBlock::canFallThrough()` to set the bit. This is not a const method because it eventually calls `TargetInstrInfo::analyzeBranch`, but it calls this function with the default `AllowModify=false`. So we can either make the argument to the `getBBAddrMapMetadata` non-const, or we can use `const_cast` when calling `canFallThrough`. I decide to go with the latter since this is purely due to legacy code, and in general we should not allow the BasicBlock to be mutable during `getBBAddrMapMetadata`.

Rewrites test to use correct architecture triple; fixes incorrect
reference in SourceLevelDebugging doc; simplifies `spillReg` behaviour
so as to not be dependent on changes elsewhere in the patch stack.
This reverts commit d2000b45d0.
This patch adds a new instruction that can represent variadic debug values,
DBG_VALUE_VAR. This patch alone covers the addition of the instruction and a set
of basic code changes in MachineInstr and a few adjacent areas, but does not
correctly handle variadic debug values outside of these areas, nor does it
generate them at any point.
The new instruction is similar to the existing DBG_VALUE instruction, with the
following differences: the operands are in a different order, any number of
values may be used in the instruction following the Variable and Expression
operands (these are referred to in code as “debug operands”) and are indexed
from 0 so that getDebugOperand(X) == getOperand(X+2), and the Expression in a
DBG_VALUE_VAR must use the DW_OP_LLVM_arg operator to pass arguments into the
expression.
The new DW_OP_LLVM_arg operator is only valid in expressions appearing in a
DBG_VALUE_VAR; it takes a single argument and pushes the debug operand at the
index given by the argument onto the Expression stack. For example the
sub-expression `DW_OP_LLVM_arg, 0` has the meaning “Push the debug operand at
index 0 onto the expression stack.”

Basic block sections enables function sections implicitly, this is not needed

We had basic block sections enable function sections implicitly in clang. This

This patch disables this implicit behavior. It only creates function sections

Further, there was an inconistent behavior with llc as llc was not turning on
function sections by default. This patch makes llc and clang consistent and

In the future Windows will enable Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET aka shadow stacks). To protect the path where the context is updated during exception handling, the binary is required to enumerate valid unwind entrypoints in a dedicated section which is validated when the context is being set during exception handling.
This change allows llvm to generate the section that contains the appropriate symbol references in the form expected by the msvc linker.
This feature is enabled through a new module flag, ehcontguard, which was modelled on the cfguard flag.
The change includes a test that when the module flag is enabled the section is correctly generated.
The set of exception continuation information includes returns from exceptional control flow (catchret in llvm).
In order to collect catchret we:
1) Includes an additional flag on machine basic blocks to indicate that the given block is the target of a catchret operation,
2) Introduces a new machine function pass to insert and collect symbols at the start of each block, and
3) Combines these targets with the other EHCont targets that were already being collected.

The refactoring is made available by 2820a2ca3a.
Currently only x86 supports local aliases. We move the decision to the driver.
There are three CC1 states:
* -fsemantic-interposition: make some linkages interposable and make default visibility external linkage definitions dso_preemptable.
* (default): selected if the target supports .Lfoo$local: make default visibility external linkage definitions dso_local
* -fhalf-no-semantic-interposition: if neither option is set or the target does not support .Lfoo$local: like -fno-semantic-interposition but local aliases are not used. So references can be interposed if not optimized out.
Add -fhalf-no-semantic-interposition to a few tests using the half-based semantic interposition behavior.
This change implements pseudo probe encoding and emission for CSSPGO. Please see RFC here for more context: https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/1p1rdYbL93s
Pseudo probes are in the form of intrinsic calls on IR/MIR but they do not turn into any machine instructions. Instead they are emitted into the binary as a piece of data in standalone sections. The probe-specific sections are not needed to be loaded into memory at execution time, thus they do not incur a runtime overhead.
**ELF object emission**
The binary data to emit are organized as two ELF sections, i.e, the `.pseudo_probe_desc` section and the `.pseudo_probe` section. The `.pseudo_probe_desc` section stores a function descriptor for each function and the `.pseudo_probe` section stores the actual probes, each fo which corresponds to an IR basic block or an IR function callsite. A function descriptor is stored as a module-level metadata during the compilation and is serialized into the object file during object emission.
Both the probe descriptors and pseudo probes can be emitted into a separate ELF section per function to leverage the linker for deduplication. A `.pseudo_probe` section shares the same COMDAT group with the function code so that when the function is dead, the probes are dead and disposed too. On the contrary, a `.pseudo_probe_desc` section has its own COMDAT group. This is because even if a function is dead, its probes may be inlined into other functions and its descriptor is still needed by the profile generation tool.
The format of `.pseudo_probe_desc` section looks like:
```
.section .pseudo_probe_desc,"",@progbits
.quad 6309742469962978389 // Func GUID
.quad 4294967295 // Func Hash

```
For each `.pseudoprobe` section, the encoded binary data consists of a single function record corresponding to an outlined function (i.e, a function with a code entry in the `.text` section). A function record has the following format :
```
FUNCTION BODY (one for each outlined function present in the text section)
GUID (uint64)
GUID of the function
NPROBES (ULEB128)
Number of probes originating from this function.
NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS (ULEB128)
Number of callees inlined into this function, aka number of
first-level inlinees
PROBE RECORDS
A list of NPROBES entries. Each entry contains:
INDEX (ULEB128)
TYPE (uint4)
0 - block probe, 1 - indirect call, 2 - direct call
ATTRIBUTE (uint3)
reserved
ADDRESS_TYPE (uint1)
0 - code address, 1 - address delta
CODE_ADDRESS (uint64 or ULEB128)
code address or address delta, depending on ADDRESS_TYPE
INLINED FUNCTION RECORDS
A list of NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS entries describing each of the inlined
callees. Each record contains:
INLINE SITE
GUID of the inlinee (uint64)
ID of the callsite probe (ULEB128)
FUNCTION BODY
A FUNCTION BODY entry describing the inlined function.
```
To support building a context-sensitive profile, probes from inlinees are grouped by their inline contexts. An inline context is logically a call path through which a callee function lands in a caller function. The probe emitter builds an inline tree based on the debug metadata for each outlined function in the form of a trie tree. A tree root is the outlined function. Each tree edge stands for a callsite where inlining happens. Pseudo probes originating from an inlinee function are stored in a tree node and the tree path starting from the root all the way down to the tree node is the inline context of the probes. The emission happens on the whole tree top-down recursively. Probes of a tree node will be emitted altogether with their direct parent edge. Since a pseudo probe corresponds to a real code address, for size savings, the address is encoded as a delta from the previous probe except for the first probe. Variant-sized integer encoding, aka LEB128, is used for address delta and probe index.
**Assembling**
Pseudo probes can be printed as assembly directives alternatively. This allows for good assembly code readability and also provides a view of how optimizations and pseudo probes affect each other, especially helpful for diff time assembly analysis.
A pseudo probe directive has the following operands in order: function GUID, probe index, probe type, probe attributes and inline context. The directive is generated by the compiler and can be parsed by the assembler to form an encoded `.pseudoprobe` section in the object file.
A example assembly looks like:
```

```
**Disassembling**
We have a disassembling tool (llvm-profgen) that can display disassembly alongside with pseudo probes. So far it only supports ELF executable file.
An example disassembly looks like:

With inlining turned on, the assembly may look different around %bb2 with an inlined probe:
```

**Disassembling**
We have a disassembling tool (llvm-profgen) that can display disassembly alongside with pseudo probes. So far it only supports ELF executable file.
An example disassembly looks like:
```
00000000002011a0 <foo2>:
2011a0: 50 push rax
2011a1: 85 ff test edi,edi
[Probe]: FUNC: foo2 Index: 1 Type: Block
2011a3: 74 02 je 2011a7 <foo2+0x7>
[Probe]: FUNC: foo2 Index: 3 Type: Block
[Probe]: FUNC: foo2 Index: 4 Type: Block
[Probe]: FUNC: foo Index: 1 Type: Block Inlined: @ foo2:6
2011a5: 58 pop rax
2011a6: c3 ret

2011a7: bf 01 00 00 00 mov edi,0x1

Summary:
AIX uses the existing EH infrastructure in clang and llvm.
The major differences would be
1. AIX do not have CFI instructions.
2. AIX uses a new personality routine, named __xlcxx_personality_v1.
It doesn't use the GCC personality rountine, because the
interoperability is not there yet on AIX.
3. AIX do not use eh_frame sections. Instead, it would use a eh_info
section (compat unwind section) to store the information about
personality routine and LSDA data address.

All these potential null pointer dereferences are reported by my static analyzer for null smart pointer dereferences, which has a different implementation from `alpha.cplusplus.SmartPtr`.
The checked pointers in this patch are initialized by Target::createXXX functions. When the creator function pointer is not correctly set, a null pointer will be returned, or the creator function may originally return a null pointer.
Some of them may not make sense as they may be checked before entering the function, but I fixed them all in this patch. I submit this fix because 1) similar checks are found in some other places in the LLVM codebase for the same return value of the function; and, 2) some of the pointers are dereferenced before they are checked, which may definitely trigger a null pointer dereference if the return value is nullptr.

The `dso_local_equivalent` constant is a wrapper for functions that represents a
value which is functionally equivalent to the global passed to this. That is, if
this accepts a function, calling this constant should have the same effects as
calling the function directly. This could be a direct reference to the function,
the `@plt` modifier on X86/AArch64, a thunk, or anything that's equivalent to the
resolved function as a call target.
When lowered, the returned address must have a constant offset at link time from
some other symbol defined within the same binary. The address of this value is
also insignificant. The name is leveraged from `dso_local` where use of a function
or variable is resolved to a symbol in the same linkage unit.
In this patch:
- Addition of `dso_local_equivalent` and handling it
- Update Constant::needsRelocation() to strip constant inbound GEPs and take
advantage of `dso_local_equivalent` for relative references
This is useful for the [Relative VTables C++ ABI](https://reviews.llvm.org/D72959)
which makes vtables readonly. This works by replacing the dynamic relocations for
function pointers in them with static relocations that represent the offset between
the vtable and virtual functions. If a function is externally defined,
`dso_local_equivalent` can be used as a generic wrapper for the function to still
allow for this static offset calculation to be done.
See [RFC](http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-August/144469.html) for more details.

This patch uses the new `getMnemonic` helper from D90039
to display mnemonics instead of the internal opcodes.
The main motivation behind using the mnemonics is that they
are more user-friendly and more directly related to the assembly
the users will be presented.
