When we pass a AArch64 Homogeneous Floating-Point
Aggregate (HFA) argument with increased alignment
requirements, for example
struct S {
__attribute__ ((__aligned__(16))) double v[4];
};
Clang uses `[4 x double]` for the parameter, which is passed
on the stack at alignment 8, whereas it should be at
alignment 16, following Rule C.4 in
AAPCS (https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/master/aapcs64/aapcs64.rst#642parameter-passing-rules)
Currently we don't have a way to express in LLVM IR the
alignment requirements of the function arguments. The align
attribute is applicable to pointers only, and only for some
special ways of passing arguments (e..g byval). When
implementing AAPCS32/AAPCS64, clang resorts to dubious hacks
of coercing to types, which naturally have the needed
alignment. We don't have enough types to cover all the
cases, though.
This patch introduces a new use of the stackalign attribute
to control stack slot alignment, when and if an argument is
passed in memory.
The attribute align is left as an optimizer hint - it still
applies to pointer types only and pertains to the content of
the pointer, whereas the alignment of the pointer itself is
determined by the stackalign attribute.
For byval arguments, the stackalign attribute assumes the
role, previously perfomed by align, falling back to align if
stackalign` is absent.
On the clang side, when passing arguments using the "direct"
style (cf. `ABIArgInfo::Kind`), now we can optionally
specify an alignment, which is emitted as the new
`stackalign` attribute.

As it is being noted in D99249, lack of alignment information on `this`
has been preventing LICM from happening.
For some time now, lack of alignment attribute does *not* imply
natural alignment, but an alignment of `1`.
Also, we used to treat dereferenceable as implying alignment,
but we no longer do, so it's a bugfix.

I think byval/sret and the others are close to being able to rip out
the code to support the missing type case. A lot of this code is
shared with inalloca, so catch this up to the others so that can
happen.
These are incompatible with opaque pointers. This is in preparation
of dropping this API on the IRBuilder side as well.
Instead explicitly pass the loaded type.
It's available both in CodeGenOptions and in LangOptions, and LangOptions
implementation is slightly better as it uses a StringRef instead of a char
pointer, so use it.

The option -funique-internal-linkage-names was added in D73307 and D78243 as a
LLVM early pass to insert a unique suffix to internal linkage functions and
vars. The unique suffix was the hash of the module path. However, we found
that this can be done more cleanly in clang early and the fixes that need to
be done later can be completely avoided. The fixes in particular are trying
to modify the DW_AT_linkage_name and finding the right place to insert the
pass.

Clang FE currently has hot/cold function attribute. But we only have
cold function attribute in LLVM IR.
This patch adds support of hot function attribute to LLVM IR. This
attribute will be used in setting function section prefix/suffix.
Currently .hot and .unlikely suffix only are added in PGO (Sample PGO)
compilation (through isFunctionHotInCallGraph and
isFunctionColdInCallGraph).
This patch changes the behavior. The new behavior is:
(1) If the user annotates a function as hot or isFunctionHotInCallGraph
is true, this function will be marked as hot. Otherwise,
(2) If the user annotates a function as cold or
isFunctionColdInCallGraph is true, this function will be marked as
cold.
The changes are:
(1) user annotated function attribute will used in setting function
section prefix/suffix.
(2) hot attribute overwrites profile count based hotness.
(3) profile count based hotness overwrite user annotated cold attribute.
The intention for these changes is to provide the user a way to mark
certain function as hot in cases where training input is hard to cover
all the hot functions.

The `assume` attribute is a way to provide additional, arbitrary
information to the optimizer. For now, assumptions are restricted to
strings which will be accumulated for a function and emitted as comma
separated string function attribute. The key of the LLVM-IR function
attribute is `llvm.assume`. Similar to `llvm.assume` and
`__builtin_assume`, the `assume` attribute provides a user defined
assumption to the compiler.
A follow up patch will introduce an LLVM-core API to query the
assumptions attached to a function. We also expect to add more options,
e.g., expression arguments, to the `assume` attribute later on.
The `omp [begin] asssumes` pragma will leverage this attribute and
expose the functionality in the absence of OpenMP.

Swiftcall does it's own target-independent argument type classification,
since it is not designed to be ABI compatible with anything local on the
target that isn't LLVM-based. This means it never uses inalloca.
However, we have duplicate logic for checking for inalloca parameters
that runs before call argument setup. This logic needs to know ahead of
time if inalloca will be used later, and we can't move the
CGFunctionInfo calculation earlier.
This change gets the calling convention from either the
FunctionProtoType or ObjCMethodDecl, checks if it is swift, and if so
skips the stackbase setup.

This template exists to abstract over FunctionPrototype and
ObjCMethodDecl, which have similar APIs for storing parameter types. In
place of a template, use a PointerUnion with two cases to handle this.
Hopefully this improves readability, since the type of the prototype is

assertions, out of the header file and into the cpp file. I can also
simplify the overloaded methods for computing isGenericMethod, and get
rid of the second EmitCallArgs overload.

After D17993, with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks we add the dereferenceable attribute to the `this` pointer.
We have observed that one internal target which worked before fails even with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks.
Switching to dereferenceable_or_null fixes the problem.
dereferenceable currently does not always respect NullPointerIsValid and may
imply nonnull and lead to aggressive optimization. The optimization may be
related to `CallBase::isReturnNonNull`, `Argument::hasNonNullAttr`, or
`Value::getPointerDereferenceableBytes`. See D66664 and D66618 for some discussions.

Make the corresponding change that was made for byval in

After the recent discussion on cfe-dev 'Can indirect class parameters be
noalias?' [1], it seems like using using noalias is problematic for
current C++, but should be allowed for C-only code.
This patch introduces a new option to let the user indicate that it is
safe to mark indirect class parameters as noalias. Note that this also
applies to external callers, e.g. it might not be safe to use this flag
for C functions that are called by C++ functions.
In targets that allocate indirect arguments in the called function, this
enables more agressive optimizations with respect to memory operations
and brings a ~1% - 2% codesize reduction for some programs.

Original summary:
This patch implements codegen for the 'arm_sve_vector_bits' type
attribute, defined by the Arm C Language Extensions (ACLE) for SVE [1].
The purpose of this attribute is to define vector-length-specific (VLS)
versions of existing vector-length-agnostic (VLA) types.
VLSTs are represented as VectorType in the AST and fixed-length vectors
in the IR everywhere except in function args/return. Implemented in this
patch is codegen support for the following:
* Implicit casting between VLA <-> VLS types.
* Coercion of VLS types in function args/return.
* Mangling of VLS types.
Casting is handled by the CK_BitCast operation, which has been extended
to support the two new vector kinds for fixed-length SVE predicate and
data vectors, where the cast is implemented through memory rather than a
bitcast which is unsupported. Implementing this as a normal bitcast
would require relaxing checks in LLVM to allow bitcasting between
scalable and fixed types. Another option was adding target-specific
intrinsics, although codegen support would need to be added for these
intrinsics. Given this, casting through memory seemed like the best
approach as it's supported today and existing optimisations may remove
unnecessary loads/stores, although there is room for improvement here.
Coercion of VLSTs in function args/return from fixed to scalable is
implemented through the AArch64 ABI in TargetInfo.
The VLA and VLS types are defined by the ACLE to map to the same
machine-level SVE vectors. VLS types are mangled in the same way as:
__SVE_VLS<typename, unsigned>
where the first argument is the underlying variable-length type and the
second argument is the SVE vector length in bits. For example:
#if __ARM_FEATURE_SVE_BITS==512
// Mangled as 9__SVE_VLSIu11__SVInt32_tLj512EE
typedef svint32_t vec __attribute__((arm_sve_vector_bits(512)));
// Mangled as 9__SVE_VLSIu10__SVBool_tLj512EE
typedef svbool_t pred __attribute__((arm_sve_vector_bits(512)));
#endif
The latest ACLE specification (00bet5) does not contain details of this
mangling scheme, it will be specified in the next revision. The
mangling scheme is otherwise defined in the appendices to the Procedure
Call Standard for the Arm Architecture, see [2] for more information.

Add address space to indirect abi info and use it for kernels.
Previously, indirect arguments assumed assumed a stack passed object
in the alloca address space using byval. A stack pointer is unsuitable
for kernel arguments, which are passed in a separate, constant buffer
with a different address space.
Start using the new byref for aggregate kernel arguments. Previously
these were emitted as raw struct arguments, and turned into loads in
the backend. These will lower identically, although with byref you now
have the option of applying an explicit alignment. In the future, a
reasonable implementation would use byref for all kernel arguments
(this would be a practical problem at the moment due to losing things
like noalias on pointer arguments).
This is mostly to avoid fighting the optimizer's treatment of
aggregate load/store. SROA and instcombine both turn aggregate loads
and stores into a long sequence of element loads and stores, rather
than the optimizable memcpy I would expect in this situation. Now an
explicit memcpy will be introduced up-front which is better understood
and helps eliminate the alloca in more situations.
This skips using byref in the case where HIP kernel pointer arguments
in structs are promoted to global pointers. At minimum an additional
patch is needed to allow coercion with indirect arguments. This also
skips using it for OpenCL due to the current workaround used to
support kernels calling kernels. Distinct function bodies would need
to be generated up front instead of emitting an illegal call.
llvm function is marked nounwind
This fixes cases where an invoke is emitted, despite the called llvm
function being marked nounwind, because ConstructAttributeList failed to
add the attribute to the attribute list. llvm optimization passes turn
invokes into calls and optimize away the exception handling code, but
it's better to avoid emitting the code in the front-end if the called
function is known not to raise an exception.

Currently, Clang previously diagnosed this code by default:
void f(int a[static 0]);
saying that "static has no effect on zero-length arrays", which was
accurate.
However, static array extents require that the caller of the function
pass a nonnull pointer to an array of *at least* that number of
elements, but it can pass more (see C17 6.7.6.3p6). Given that we allow
zero-sized arrays as a GNU extension and that it's valid to pass more
elements than specified by the static array extent, we now support
zero-sized static array extents with the usual semantics because it can
be useful in cases like:
void my_bzero(char p[static 0], int n);
my_bzero(&c+1, 0); //ok
my_bzero(t+k,n-k); //ok, pattern from actual code
The x86-64 "avx" feature changes how >128 bit vector types are passed,
instead of being passed in separate 128 bit registers, they can be
passed in 256 bit registers.
"avx512f" does the same thing, except it switches from 256 bit registers
to 512 bit registers.
The result of both of these is an ABI incompatibility between functions
compiled with and without these features.
This patch implements a warning/error pair upon an attempt to call a
function that would run afoul of this. First, if a function is called
that would have its ABI changed, we issue a warning.
Second, if said call is made in a situation where the caller and callee
are known to have different calling conventions (such as the case of
'target'), we instead issue an error.
