Introduces the use of pointer authentication to protect the invocation,
copy and dispose, reference, and descriptor pointers in Objective-C
block objects.
Resolves#141176
This is a major change on how we represent nested name qualifications in
the AST.
* The nested name specifier itself and how it's stored is changed. The
prefixes for types are handled within the type hierarchy, which makes
canonicalization for them super cheap, no memory allocation required.
Also translating a type into nested name specifier form becomes a no-op.
An identifier is stored as a DependentNameType. The nested name
specifier gains a lightweight handle class, to be used instead of
passing around pointers, which is similar to what is implemented for
TemplateName. There is still one free bit available, and this handle can
be used within a PointerUnion and PointerIntPair, which should keep
bit-packing aficionados happy.
* The ElaboratedType node is removed, all type nodes in which it could
previously apply to can now store the elaborated keyword and name
qualifier, tail allocating when present.
* TagTypes can now point to the exact declaration found when producing
these, as opposed to the previous situation of there only existing one
TagType per entity. This increases the amount of type sugar retained,
and can have several applications, for example in tracking module
ownership, and other tools which care about source file origins, such as
IWYU. These TagTypes are lazily allocated, in order to limit the
increase in AST size.
This patch offers a great performance benefit.
It greatly improves compilation time for
[stdexec](https://github.com/NVIDIA/stdexec). For one datapoint, for
`test_on2.cpp` in that project, which is the slowest compiling test,
this patch improves `-c` compilation time by about 7.2%, with the
`-fsyntax-only` improvement being at ~12%.
This has great results on compile-time-tracker as well:

This patch also further enables other optimziations in the future, and
will reduce the performance impact of template specialization resugaring
when that lands.
It has some other miscelaneous drive-by fixes.
About the review: Yes the patch is huge, sorry about that. Part of the
reason is that I started by the nested name specifier part, before the
ElaboratedType part, but that had a huge performance downside, as
ElaboratedType is a big performance hog. I didn't have the steam to go
back and change the patch after the fact.
There is also a lot of internal API changes, and it made sense to remove
ElaboratedType in one go, versus removing it from one type at a time, as
that would present much more churn to the users. Also, the nested name
specifier having a different API avoids missing changes related to how
prefixes work now, which could make existing code compile but not work.
How to review: The important changes are all in
`clang/include/clang/AST` and `clang/lib/AST`, with also important
changes in `clang/lib/Sema/TreeTransform.h`.
The rest and bulk of the changes are mostly consequences of the changes
in API.
PS: TagType::getDecl is renamed to `getOriginalDecl` in this patch, just
for easier to rebasing. I plan to rename it back after this lands.

This PR introduces the use of pointer authentication to objective-c[++].
This includes:
* __ptrauth qualifier support for ivars
* protection of isa and super fields
* protection of SEL typed ivars
* protection of class_ro_t data
* protection of methodlist pointers and content
The InstrProf headers are very expensive. Avoid including them in all of
CodeGen/ by moving the CodeGenPGO member behind a unqiue_ptr.
This reduces clang build time by 0.8%.
When records contain fields with pointer authentication, even simple
copies can require
additional work be performed. This patch contains the core functionality
required to
handle user defined structs, as well as the implicitly constructed
structs for blocks, etc.

When building on Windows, dealing with the BlocksRuntime is slightly
more complicated. As we are not guaranteed a formward declaration for
the blocks runtime ABI symbols, we may generate the declarations for
them. In order to properly link against the well-known types, we always
annotated them as `__declspec(dllimport)`. This would require the
dynamic linking of the blocks runtime under all conditions. However,
this is the only the only possible way to us the library. We may be
building a fully sealed (static) executable. In such a case, the well
known symbols should not be marked as `dllimport` as they are assumed to
be statically available with the static linking to the BlocksRuntime.
Introduce a new driver/cc1 option `-static-libclosure` which mirrors the
myriad of similar options (`-static-libgcc`, `-static-libstdc++`,
-static-libsan`, etc).
Currently, for AMDGPU, when compiling for OpenCL, we unconditionally use
`private` as the default address space. This is wrong for cases where
the `generic` address space is available, and is corrected via this
patch. In general, this AS map abuse is a bad hack and we should re-work
it altogether, but at least after this patch we will stop being
incorrect for e.g. OpenCL 2.0.
This patch is the frontend implementation of the coroutine elide
improvement project detailed in this discourse post:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/language-extension-for-better-more-deterministic-halo-for-c-coroutines/80044
This patch proposes a C++ struct/class attribute
`[[clang::coro_await_elidable]]`. This notion of await elidable task
gives developers and library authors a certainty that coroutine heap
elision happens in a predictable way.
Originally, after we lower a coroutine to LLVM IR, CoroElide is
responsible for analysis of whether an elision can happen. Take this as
an example:
```
Task foo();
Task bar() {
co_await foo();
}
```
For CoroElide to happen, the ramp function of `foo` must be inlined into
`bar`. This inlining happens after `foo` has been split but `bar` is
usually still a presplit coroutine. If `foo` is indeed a coroutine, the
inlined `coro.id` intrinsics of `foo` is visible within `bar`. CoroElide
then runs an analysis to figure out whether the SSA value of
`coro.begin()` of `foo` gets destroyed before `bar` terminates.
`Task` types are rarely simple enough for the destroy logic of the task
to reference the SSA value from `coro.begin()` directly. Hence, the pass
is very ineffective for even the most trivial C++ Task types. Improving
CoroElide by implementing more powerful analyses is possible, however it
doesn't give us the predictability when we expect elision to happen.
The approach we want to take with this language extension generally
originates from the philosophy that library implementations of `Task`
types has the control over the structured concurrency guarantees we
demand for elision to happen. That is, the lifetime for the callee's
frame is shorter to that of the caller.
The ``[[clang::coro_await_elidable]]`` is a class attribute which can be
applied to a coroutine return type.
When a coroutine function that returns such a type calls another
coroutine function, the compiler performs heap allocation elision when
the following conditions are all met:
- callee coroutine function returns a type that is annotated with
``[[clang::coro_await_elidable]]``.
- In caller coroutine, the return value of the callee is a prvalue that
is immediately `co_await`ed.
From the C++ perspective, it makes sense because we can ensure the
lifetime of elided callee cannot exceed that of the caller if we can
guarantee that the caller coroutine is never destroyed earlier than the
callee coroutine. This is not generally true for any C++ programs.
However, the library that implements `Task` types and executors may
provide this guarantee to the compiler, providing the user with
certainty that HALO will work on their programs.
After this patch, when compiling coroutines that return a type with such
attribute, the frontend checks that the type of the operand of
`co_await` expressions (not `operator co_await`). If it's also
attributed with `[[clang::coro_await_elidable]]`, the FE emits metadata
on the call or invoke instruction as a hint for a later middle end pass
to elide the elision.
The original patch version is
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/94693 and as suggested, the
patch is split into frontend and middle end solutions into stacked PRs.
The middle end CoroSplit patch can be found at

Uses the new InsertPosition class (added in #94226) to simplify some of
the IRBuilder interface, and removes the need to pass a BasicBlock
alongside a BasicBlock::iterator, using the fact that we can now get the
parent basic block from the iterator even if it points to the sentinel.
This patch removes the BasicBlock argument from each constructor or call
to setInsertPoint.
This has no functional effect, but later on as we look to remove the
`Instruction *InsertBefore` argument from instruction-creation
(discussed
[here](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/psa-instruction-constructors-changing-to-iterator-only-insertion/77845)),
this will simplify the process by allowing us to deprecate the
InsertPosition constructor directly and catch all the cases where we use
instructions rather than iterators.
This is in effect a revert of f139ae3d93797, as we have since gained a
more sophisticated way of doing extra IRGen with the addition of
RawAddress in #86923.
To authenticate pointers, CodeGen needs access to the key and
discriminators that were used to sign the pointer. That information is
sometimes known from the context, but not always, which is why `Address`
needs to hold that information.
This patch adds methods and data members to `Address`, which will be
needed in subsequent patches to authenticate signed pointers, and uses
the newly added methods throughout CodeGen. Although this patch isn't
strictly NFC as it causes CodeGen to use different code paths in some
cases (e.g., `mergeAddressesInConditionalExpr`), it doesn't cause any
changes in functionality as it doesn't add any information needed for
authentication.
In addition to the changes mentioned above, this patch introduces class
`RawAddress`, which contains a pointer that we know is unsigned, and
adds several new functions for creating `Address` and `LValue` objects.
This reapplies d9a685a9dd589486e882b722e513ee7b8c84870c, which was
reverted because it broke ubsan bots. There seems to be a bug in
coroutine code-gen, which is causing EmitTypeCheck to use the wrong
alignment. For now, pass alignment zero to EmitTypeCheck so that it can
compute the correct alignment based on the passed type (see function
EmitCXXMemberOrOperatorMemberCallExpr).

This patch fixes problems that pop up when clang emits DbgRecords
instead of debug intrinsics.
Note: this doesn't mean clang is emitting DbgRecords yet, because the
modules it creates are still always in the old debug mode. That will
come in a future patch.

This patch converts `ImplicitParamDecl::ImplicitParamKind` into a scoped enum at namespace scope, making it eligible for forward declaring. This is useful for `preferred_type` annotations on bit-fields.
Hashing the sugared type instead of the canonical type meant that
a simple example like this would always fail under MSVC:
```
static auto l() {}
int main() {
auto a = l;
a();
}
```
`clang --target=x86_64-pc-windows-msvc -fno-exceptions
-fsanitize=function -g -O0 -fuse-ld=lld -o test.exe test.cc`
produces:
```
test.cc:4:3: runtime error: call to function l through pointer to incorrect function type 'void (*)()'
```
- Update CodeGenTypeCache to use a single union for all pointers in
address space zero.
- Introduce a UnqualPtrTy in CodeGenTypeCache, and use that (for
example instead of llvm::PointerType::getUnqual) in some places.
- Drop some redundant bit/pointers casts from ptr to ptr.

* Add `Address::withElementType()` as a replacement for
`CGBuilderTy::CreateElementBitCast`.
* Partial progress towards replacing `CreateElementBitCast`, as it no
longer does what its name suggests. Either replace its uses with
`Address::withElementType()`, or remove them if no longer needed.
* Remove unused parameter 'Name' of `CreateElementBitCast`

Mixing LLVM and Clang address spaces can result in subtle bugs, and there
is no need for this hook to use the LLVM IR level address spaces.
Most of this change is just replacing zero with LangAS::Default,
but it also allows us to remove a few calls to getTargetAddressSpace().
This also removes a stale comment+workaround in
CGDebugInfo::CreatePointerLikeType(): ASTContext::getTypeSize() does
return the expected size for ReferenceType (and handles address spaces).
