This patch is the Part-2 (BE LLVM) implementation of HW Exception handling.
Part-1 (FE Clang) was committed in 797ad70152.
This new feature adds the support of Hardware Exception for Microsoft Windows
SEH (Structured Exception Handling).
Compiler options:
For clang-cl.exe, the option is -EHa, the same as MSVC.
For clang.exe, the extra option is -fasync-exceptions,
plus -triple x86_64-windows -fexceptions and -fcxx-exceptions as usual.
NOTE:: Without the -EHa or -fasync-exceptions, this patch is a NO-DIFF change.
The rules for C code:
For C-code, one way (MSVC approach) to achieve SEH -EHa semantic is to follow three rules:
First, no exception can move in or out of _try region., i.e., no "potential faulty
instruction can be moved across _try boundary.
Second, the order of exceptions for instructions 'directly' under a _try must be preserved
(not applied to those in callees).
Finally, global states (local/global/heap variables) that can be read outside of _try region
must be updated in memory (not just in register) before the subsequent exception occurs.
The impact to C++ code:
Although SEH is a feature for C code, -EHa does have a profound effect on C++
side. When a C++ function (in the same compilation unit with option -EHa ) is
called by a SEH C function, a hardware exception occurs in C++ code can also
be handled properly by an upstream SEH _try-handler or a C++ catch(...).
As such, when that happens in the middle of an object's life scope, the dtor
must be invoked the same way as C++ Synchronous Exception during unwinding process.
Design:
A natural way to achieve the rules above in LLVM today is to allow an EH edge
added on memory/computation instruction (previous iload/istore idea) so that
exception path is modeled in Flow graph preciously. However, tracking every
single memory instruction and potential faulty instruction can create many
Invokes, complicate flow graph and possibly result in negative performance
impact for downstream optimization and code generation. Making all
optimizations be aware of the new semantic is also substantial.
This design does not intend to model exception path at instruction level.
Instead, the proposed design tracks and reports EH state at BLOCK-level to
reduce the complexity of flow graph and minimize the performance-impact on CPP
code under -EHa option.
One key element of this design is the ability to compute State number at
block-level. Our algorithm is based on the following rationales:
A _try scope is always a SEME (Single Entry Multiple Exits) region as jumping
into a _try is not allowed. The single entry must start with a seh_try_begin()
invoke with a correct State number that is the initial state of the SEME.
Through control-flow, state number is propagated into all blocks. Side exits
marked by seh_try_end() will unwind to parent state based on existing SEHUnwindMap[].
Note side exits can ONLY jump into parent scopes (lower state number).
Thus, when a block succeeds various states from its predecessors, the lowest
State triumphs others. If some exits flow to unreachable, propagation on those
paths terminate, not affecting remaining blocks.
For CPP code, object lifetime region is usually a SEME as SEH _try.
However there is one rare exception: jumping into a lifetime that has Dtor but
has no Ctor is warned, but allowed:
Warning: jump bypasses variable with a non-trivial destructor
In that case, the region is actually a MEME (multiple entry multiple exits).
Our solution is to inject a eha_scope_begin() invoke in the side entry block to
ensure a correct State.
Implementation:
Part-1: Clang implementation (already in):
Please see commit 797ad70152).
Part-2 : LLVM implementation described below.
For both C++ & C-code, the state of each block is computed at the same place in
BE (WinEHPreparing pass) where all other EH tables/maps are calculated.
In addition to _scope_begin & _scope_end, the computation of block state also
rely on the existing State tracking code (UnwindMap and InvokeStateMap).
For both C++ & C-code, the state of each block with potential trap instruction
is marked and reported in DAG Instruction Selection pass, the same place where
the state for -EHsc (synchronous exceptions) is done.
If the first instruction in a reported block scope can trap, a Nop is injected
before this instruction. This nop is needed to accommodate LLVM Windows EH
implementation, in which the address in IPToState table is offset by +1.
(note the purpose of that is to ensure the return address of a call is in the
same scope as the call address.
The handler for catch(...) for -EHa must handle HW exception. So it is
'adjective' flag is reset (it cannot be IsStdDotDot (0x40) that only catches
C++ exceptions).
Suppress push/popTerminate() scope (from noexcept/noTHrow) so that HW
exceptions can be passed through.

As a follow-up to https://reviews.llvm.org/D104129, I'm cleaning up the danling probe related code in both the compiler and llvm-profgen.
I'm seeing a 5% size win for the pseudo_probe section for SPEC2017 and 10% for Ciner. Certain benchmark such as 602.gcc has a 20% size win. No obvious difference seen on build time for SPEC2017 and Cinder.

This change fixes a couple places where the pseudo probe intrinsic blocks optimizations because they are not naturally removable. To unblock those optimizations, the blocking pseudo probes are moved out of the original blocks and tagged dangling, instead of allowing pseudo probes to be literally removed. The reason is that when the original block is removed, we won't be able to sample it. Instead of assigning it a zero weight, moving all its pseudo probes into another block and marking them dangling should allow the counts inference a chance to assign them a more reasonable weight. We have not seen counts quality degradation from our experiments.
The optimizations being unblocked are:
1. Removing conditional probes for if-converted branches. Conditional probes are tagged dangling when their homing branch arms are folded so that they will not be over-counted.
2. Unblocking jump threading from removing empty blocks. Pseudo probe prevents jump threading from removing logically empty blocks that only has one unconditional jump instructions.
3. Unblocking SimplifyCFG and MIR tail duplicate to thread empty blocks and blocks with redundant branch checks.
Since dangling probes are logically deleted, they should not consume any samples in LTO postLink. This can be achieved by setting their distribution factors to zero when dangled.

Before this instruction supported output values, it fit fairly
naturally as a terminator. However, being a terminator while also
supporting outputs causes some trouble, as the physreg->vreg COPY
operations cannot be in the same block.
Modeling it as a non-terminator allows it to be handled the same way
as invoke is handled already.
Most of the changes here were created by auditing all the existing
users of MachineBasicBlock::isEHPad() and
MachineBasicBlock::hasEHPadSuccessor(), and adding calls to
isInlineAsmBrIndirectTarget or mayHaveInlineAsmBr, as appropriate.

CorrectExtraCFGEdges function.
The latter was a workaround for "Various pieces of code" leaving bogus
extra CFG edges in place. Where by "various" it meant only
IfConverter::MergeBlocks, which failed to clear all of the successors
of dead blocks it emptied out. This wouldn't matter a whole lot,
except that the dead blocks remained listed as predecessors of
still-useful blocks, inhibiting optimizations.
This fix slightly changed two thumb tests, because the correct CFG
successors allowed for the "diamond" if-conversion pattern to be
detected, when it could only use "simple" before.
Additionally, the removal of a now-redundant call to analyzeBranch
(with AllowModify=true) in BranchFolder::OptimizeFunction caused a
later check for an empty block in BranchFolder::OptimizeBlock to
fail. Correct this by moving the call to analyzeBranch in
OptimizeBlock higher.

Summary:
The fix in BranchFolder related to non debug invariant problems
done in commit ec32dff0b0 actually introduced some new
problems with debug invariance.
Before that patch ComputeCommonTailLength would move iterators
back, past debug instructions, in order to make ProfitableToMerge
make consistent answers "when one block differs from the other
only by whether debugging pseudos are present at the beginning".
But the changes in ec32dff0b0 undid that by moving the iterators
forward again.
This patch refactors ComputeCommonTailLength. The function was
really complex, considering that the SkipTopCFIAndReturn part
always moved the iterators forward to the first "real" instruction
in the found tail after ec32dff0b0.
The patch also restores the logic to "back past possible debugging
pseudos at beginning of block" to make sure ProfitableToMerge
gives consistent answers independent of DBG_VALUE instructions
before the tail. That is now done by ProfitableToMerge instead of
being hidden as a side-effect in ComputeCommonTailLength.

Summary:
I found the following case having tail blocks with no successors merging opportunities after block placement.
Before block placement:
bb0:
...
bne a0, 0, bb2:
bb1:
mv a0, 1
ret
bb2:
...
bb3:
mv a0, 1
ret
bb4:
mv a0, -1
ret
The conditional branch bne in bb0 is opposite to beq.
After block placement:
bb0:
...
beq a0, 0, bb1
bb2:
...
bb4:
mv a0, -1
ret
bb1:
mv a0, 1
ret
bb3:
mv a0, 1
ret
After block placement, that appears new tail merging opportunity, bb1 and bb3 can be merged as one block. So the conditional constraint for merging tail blocks with no successors should be removed. In my experiment for RISC-V, it decreases code size.

The hasEHPadSuccessor function would have visited IBB and seen that it was an EHPad and returned false. This would prevent us from reaching this code with IBB as an EHPad.
