Retain the behavior we get without opaque pointers: A call to a
known function with different function type is considered an
indirect call.
This fixes the crash reported in https://reviews.llvm.org/D123300#3444772.
Prior to this change, CallBase::hasFnAttr checked the called function to
see if it had an attribute if it wasn't set on the CallBase, but
getFnAttr didn't do the same delegation, which led to very confusing
behavior. This patch fixes the issue by making CallBase::getFnAttr also
check the function under the same circumstances.
Test changes look (to me) like they're cleaning up redundant attributes
which no longer get specified both on the callee and call. We also clean
up the one ad-hoc implementation of this getter over in InlineCost.cpp.

This patch adds a CL option for avoiding the attribute compatibility
check between caller and callee in TTI. TTI attribute compatibility
checks for target CPU and target features.
In our downstream compiler, this attribute always remains the same
between callee and caller. By avoiding the addition of this attribute to
each of our inline candidate (and then checking them here during inline
cost), we save some compile time.
The option is kept false, so this change is an NFC upstream.
Introduce a new attribute "function-inline-cost-multiplier" which
multiplies the inline cost of a call site (or all calls to a callee) by
the multiplier.
When processing the list of calls created by inlining, check each call
to see if the new call's callee is in the same SCC as the original
callee. If so, set the "function-inline-cost-multiplier" attribute of
the new call site to double the original call site's attribute value.
This does not happen when the original call site is intra-SCC.
This is an alternative to D120584, which marks the call sites as
noinline.
Hopefully fixes PR45253.

Since 26c6a3e736, LLVM's inliner will "upgrade" the caller's stack protector
attribute based on the callee. This lead to surprising results with Clang's
no_stack_protector attribute added in 4fbf84c173 (D46300). Consider the
following code compiled with clang -fstack-protector-strong -Os
(https://godbolt.org/z/7s3rW7a1q).
extern void h(int* p);
inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int g() {
return 0;
}
int __attribute__((__no_stack_protector__)) f() {
int a[1];
h(a);
return g();
}
LLVM will inline g() into f(), and f() would get a stack protector, against the
users explicit wishes, potentially breaking the program e.g. if h() changes the
value of the stack cookie. That's a miscompile.
More recently, bc044a88ee (D91816) addressed this problem by preventing
inlining when the stack protector is disabled in the caller and enabled in the
callee or vice versa. However, the problem remained if the callee is marked
always_inline as in the example above. This affected users, see e.g.
http://crbug.com/1274129 and http://llvm.org/pr52886.
One way to fix this would be to prevent inlining also in the always_inline
case. Despite the name, always_inline does not guarantee inlining, so this
would be legal but potentially surprising to users.
However, I think the better fix is to not enable the stack protector in a
caller based on the callee. The motivation for the old behaviour is unclear, it
seems counter-intuitive, and causes real problems as we've seen.
This commit implements that fix, which means in the example above, g() gets
inlined into f() (also without always_inline), and f() is emitted without stack
protector. I think that matches most developers' expectations, and that's also
what GCC does.
Another effect of this change is that a no_stack_protector function can now be
inlined into a stack protected function, e.g. (https://godbolt.org/z/hafP6W856):
extern void h(int* p);
inline int __attribute__((__no_stack_protector__)) __attribute__((always_inline)) g() {
return 0;
}
int f() {
int a[1];
h(a);
return g();
}
I think that's fine. Such code would be unusual since no_stack_protector is
normally applied to a program entry point which sets up the stack canary. And
even if such code exists, inlining doesn't change the semantics: there is still
no stack cookie setup/check around entry/exit of the g() code region, but there
may be in the surrounding context, as there was before inlining. This also
matches GCC.

llvm.is.constant* intrinsics are evaluated to 0 or 1 integral values.
A common use case for llvm.is.constant comes from the higher level
__builtin_constant_p. A common usage pattern of __builtin_constant_p in
the Linux kernel is:
void foo (int bar) {
if (__builtin_constant_p(bar)) {
// lots of code that will fold away to a constant.
} else {
// a little bit of code, usually a libcall.
}
}
A minor issue in InlineCost calculations is when `bar` is _not_ Constant
and still will not be after inlining, we don't discount the true branch
and the inline cost of `foo` ends up being the cost of both branches
together, rather than just the false branch.
This leads to code like the above where inlining will not help prove bar
Constant, but it still would be beneficial to inline foo, because the
"true" branch is irrelevant from a cost perspective.
For example, IPSCCP can sink a passed constant argument to foo:
const int x = 42;
void bar (void) { foo(x); }
This improves our inlining decisions, and fixes a few head scratching
cases were the disassembly shows a relatively small `foo` not inlined
into a lone caller.
We could further improve this modeling by tracking whether the argument
to llvm.is.constant* is a parameter of the function, and if inlining
would allow that parameter to become Constant. This idea is noted in a
FIXME comment.

This renames the primary methods for creating a zero value to `getZero`
instead of `getNullValue` and renames predicates like `isAllOnesValue`
to simply `isAllOnes`. This achieves two things:
1) This starts standardizing predicates across the LLVM codebase,
following (in this case) ConstantInt. The word "Value" doesn't
convey anything of merit, and is missing in some of the other things.
2) Calling an integer "null" doesn't make any sense. The original sin
here is mine and I've regretted it for years. This moves us to calling
it "zero" instead, which is correct!
APInt is widely used and I don't think anyone is keen to take massive source

When preinliner is used for CSSPGO, we try to honor global preinliner decision as much as we can except for uninlinable callees. We rely on InlineCost::Never to prevent us from illegal inlining.
However, it turns out that we use InlineCost::Never for both illeagle inlining and some of the "not-so-beneficial" inlining.
The most common one is recursive inlining, while it can bloat size a lot during CGSCC bottom-up inlining, it's less of a problem when recursive inlining is guided by profile and done in top-down manner.
Ideally it'd be better to have a clear separation between inline legality check vs cost-benefit check, but that requires a bigger change.
This change enables InlineCost computation to allow inlining recursive calls, controlled by InlineParams. In SampleLoader, we now enable recursive inlining for CSSPGO when global preinliner decision is used.
With this change, we saw a few perf improvements on SPEC2017 with CSSPGO and preinliner on: 2% for povray_r, 6% for xalancbmk_s, 3% omnetpp_s, while size is about the same (no noticeable perf change for all other benchmarks)

This patch introduces four new string attributes: function-inline-cost,
function-inline-threshold, call-inline-cost and call-threshold-bonus.
These attributes allow you to selectively override some aspects of
InlineCost analysis. That would allow us to test inliner separately from
the InlineCost analysis.
That could be useful when you're trying to write tests for inliner and
you need to test some very specific situation, like "the inline cost has
to be this high", or "the threshold has to be this low". Right now every
time someone does that, they have get creative to come up with a way to
make the InlineCost give them the number they need (like adding ~30
load/add pairs for a trivial test). This process can be somewhat tedious
which can discourage some people from writing enough tests for their
changes. Also, that results in tests that are fragile and can be easily
broken without anyone noticing it because the test writer can't
explicitly control what input the inliner will get from the inline cost
analysis.
These new attributes will alleviate those problems to an extent.

Tests with multiple benchmarks, like Embench [1], showed that the

when optimizing for size.
On the other hand, there was no good default value for this parameter.
Some benchmarks profited strongly from a reduced call penalty. On
example is the picojpeg benchmark compiled for RISC-V, which got 6%
smaller with a CallPenalty of 10 instead of 12. Other benchmarks
increased in size, like matmult.
This commit makes the compromise of turning the magic number constant of
CallPenalty into a configurable value. This introduces the flag

Having a custom inliner doesn't really fit in with the new PM's
pipeline. It's also extra technical debt.
amdgpu-inline only does a couple of custom things compared to the normal
inliner:
1) It disables inlining if the number of BBs in a function would exceed
some limit
2) It increases the threshold if there are pointers to private arrays(?)
These can all be handled as TTI inliner hooks.
There already exists a hook for backends to multiply the inlining
threshold.
This way we can remove the custom amdgpu-inline pass.
This caused inline-hint.ll to fail, and after some investigation, it
looks like getInliningThresholdMultiplier() was previously getting

not applying at all, so some later inliner change must have fixed

This patch adds an alternative cost metric for the inliner to take
into account both the cost (i.e. size) and cycle count savings into
account.
Without this patch, we decide to inline a given call site if the size
of inlining the call site is below the threshold that is computed
according to the hotness of the call site.
This patch adds a new cost metric, turned off by default, to take over
the handling of hot call sites. Specifically, with the new cost
metric, we decide to inline a given call site if the ratio of cycle
savings to size exceeds a threshold. The cycle savings are computed
from call site costs, parameter propagation, folded conditional
branches, etc, all weighted by their respective profile counts. The
size is primarily the callee size, but we subtract call site costs and
the size of basic blocks that are never executed.
The new cost metric implicitly takes advantage of the machine function
splitter recently introduced by Snehasish Kumar, which dramatically
reduces the cost of duplicating (e.g. inlining) cold basic blocks by
placing cold basic blocks of hot functions in the .text.split
section.
We evaluated the new cost metric on clang bootstrap and SPECInt 2017.
For clang bootstrap, we observe 0.69% runtime improvement.
For SPECInt we report the change in IntRate the C/C++ benchmarks. All

This is a rework of D85812, which didn't land.
When callee coroutine function is inlined into caller coroutine function before coro-split pass, llvm will emits "coroutine should have exactly one defining @llvm.coro.begin". It seems that coro-early pass can not handle this quiet well.
So we believe that unsplited coroutine function should not be inlined.
This patch fix such issue by not inlining function if it has attribute "coroutine.presplit" (it means the function has not been splited) to fix this issue
test plan: check-llvm, check-clang
In D85812, there was suggestions on moving the macros to Attributes.td to avoid circular header dependency issue.
I believe it's not worth doing just to be able to use one constant string in one place.
Today, there are already 3 possible attribute values for "coroutine.presplit": c6543cc6b8/llvm/lib/Transforms/Coroutines/CoroInternal.h (L40-L42)
If we move them into Attributes.td, we would be adding 3 new attributes to EnumAttr, just to support this, which I think is an overkill.
Instead, I think the best way to do this is to add an API in Function class that checks whether this function is a coroutine, by checking the attribute by name directly.

It's common for code that manipulates the stack via inline assembly or
that has to set up its own stack canary (such as the Linux kernel) would
like to avoid stack protectors in certain functions. In this case, we've
been bitten by numerous bugs where a callee with a stack protector is
inlined into an attribute((no_stack_protector)) caller, which
generally breaks the caller's assumptions about not having a stack
protector. LTO exacerbates the issue.
While developers can avoid this by putting all no_stack_protector
functions in one translation unit together and compiling those with
-fno-stack-protector, it's generally not very ergonomic or as
ergonomic as a function attribute, and still doesn't work for LTO. See also:

SSP attributes can be ordered by strength. Weakest to strongest, they

After this change:
* A callee with no SSP attributes will no longer be inlined into a
caller with SSP attributes.
* The reverse is also true: a callee with an SSP attribute will not be

* The alwaysinline attribute overrides these rules.
Functions that get synthesized by the compiler may not get inlined as a
result if they are not created with the same stack protector function
attribute as their callers.
