a1ca3af31e [llvm] A Unified LTO Bitcode Frontend
Here's a high level summary of the changes in this patch. For more
information on rational, see the RFC.
(https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-a-unified-lto-bitcode-frontend/61774).

  - Add config parameter to LTO backend, specifying which LTO mode is
    desired when using unified LTO.
  - Add unified LTO flag to the summary index for efficiency. Unified
    LTO modules can be detected without parsing the module.
  - Make sure that the ModuleID is generated by incorporating more types
    of symbols.

f0fa2d7c29 [llvm] Move AttributeMask to a separate header
Move `AttributeMask` out of `llvm/IR/Attributes.h` to a new file
`llvm/IR/AttributeMask.h`.  After doing this we can remove the
`#include <bitset>` and `#include <set>` directives from `Attributes.h`.
Since there are many headers including `Attributes.h`, but not needing
the definition of `AttributeMask`, this causes unnecessary bloating of
the translation units and slows down compilation.

This commit adds in the include directive for `llvm/IR/AttributeMask.h`
to the handful of source files that need to see the definition.

This reduces the total number of preprocessing tokens across the LLVM
source files in lib from (roughly) 1,917,509,187 to 1,902,982,273 - a
reduction of ~0.76%. This should result in a small improvement in
compilation time.

1768898680 [MemProf] Control availability of hot/cold operator new from LTO link
Adds an LTO option to indicate that whether we are linking with an
allocator that supports hot/cold operator new interfaces. If not,
at the start of the LTO backends any existing memprof hot/cold
attributes are removed from the IR, and we also remove memprof metadata
so that post-LTO inlining doesn't add any new attributes.

This is done via setting a new flag in the module summary index. It is
important to communicate via the index to the LTO backends so that
distributed ThinLTO handles this correctly, as they are invoked by
separate clang processes and the combined index is how we communicate
information from the LTO link. Specifically, for distributed ThinLTO the
LTO related processes look like:
```
   # Thin link:
   $ lld --thinlto-index-only obj1.o ... objN.o -llib ...
   # ThinLTO backends:
   $ clang -x ir obj1.o -fthinlto-index=obj1.o.thinlto.bc -c -O2
   ...
   $ clang -x ir objN.o -fthinlto-index=objN.o.thinlto.bc -c -O2
```

It is during the thin link (lld --thinlto-index-only) that we have
visibility into linker dependences and want to be able to pass the new
option via -Wl,-supports-hot-cold-new. This will be recorded in the
summary indexes created for the distributed backend processes
(*.thinlto.bc) and queried from there, so that we don't need to know
during those individual clang backends what allocation library was
linked. Since in-process ThinLTO and regular LTO also use a combined
index, for consistency we query the flag out of the index in all LTO
backends.

Additionally, when the LTO option is disabled, exit early from the
MemProfContextDisambiguation handling performed during LTO, as this is
unnecessary.

Depends on D149117 and D149192.

5da674492a IR: Add nofpclass parameter attribute
This carries a bitmask indicating forbidden floating-point value kinds
in the argument or return value. This will enable interprocedural
-ffinite-math-only optimizations. This is primarily to cover the
no-nans and no-infinities cases, but also covers the other floating
point classes for free. Textually, this provides a number of names
corresponding to bits in FPClassTest, e.g.

  call nofpclass(nan inf) @must_be_finite()
  call nofpclass(snan) @cannot_be_snan()

This is more expressive than the existing nnan and ninf fast math
flags. As an added bonus, you can represent fun things like nanf:

  declare nofpclass(inf zero sub norm) float @only_nans()

Compared to nnan/ninf:
  - Can be applied to individual call operands as well as the return value
  - Can distinguish signaling and quiet nans
  - Distinguishes the sign of infinities
  - Can be safely propagated since it doesn't imply anything about
    other operands.
  - Does not apply to FP instructions; it's not a flag

This is one step closer to being able to retire "no-nans-fp-math" and
"no-infs-fp-math". The one remaining situation where we have no way to
represent no-nans/infs is for loads (if we wanted to solve this we
could introduce !nofpclass metadata, following along with
noundef/!noundef).

This is to help simplify the GPU builtin math library
distribution. Currently the library code has explicit finite math only
checks, read from global constants the compiler driver needs to set
based on the compiler flags during linking. We end up having to
internalize the library into each translation unit in case different
linked modules have different math flags. By propagating known-not-nan
and known-not-infinity information, we can automatically prune the
edge case handling in most functions if the function is only reached
from fast math uses.

c33b9395b1 [BitcodeReader] Allow reading pointer types from old IR
When opaque pointers are enabled and old IR with typed pointers is read,
the BitcodeReader automatically upgrades all typed pointers to opaque
pointers. This is a lossy conversion, i.e. when a function argument is a
pointer and unused, it’s impossible to reconstruct the original type
behind the pointer.

There are cases where the type information of pointers is needed. One is
reading DXIL, which is bitcode of old LLVM IR and makes a lot of use of
pointers in function signatures.
We’d like to keep using up-to-date llvm to read in and process DXIL, so
in the face of opaque pointers, we need some way to access the type
information of pointers from the read bitcode.

This patch allows extracting type information by supplying functions to
parseBitcodeFile that get called for each function signature or metadata
value. The function can access the type information via the reader’s
type IDs and the getTypeByID and getContainedTypeID functions.
The tests exemplarily shows how type info from pointers can be stored in
metadata for use after the BitcodeReader finished.

df1a74ac3c [IR] Support importing modules with invalid data layouts.
Use the existing mechanism to change the data layout using callbacks.

Before this patch, we had a callback type DataLayoutCallbackTy that receives
a single StringRef specifying the target triple, and optionally returns
the data layout string to be used. Module loaders (both IR and BC) then
apply the callback to potentially override the module's data layout,
after first having imported and parsed the data layout from the file.

We can't do the same to fix invalid data layouts, because the import will already
fail, before the callback has a chance to fix it.
Instead, module loaders now tentatively parse the data layout into a string,
wait until the target triple has been parsed, apply the override callback
to the imported string and only then parse the tentative string as a data layout.

Moreover, add the old data layout string S as second argument to the callback,
in addition to the already existing target triple argument.
S is either the default data layout string in case none is specified, or the data
layout string specified in the module, possibly after auto-upgrades (for the BitcodeReader).
This allows callbacks to inspect the old data layout string,
and fix it instead of setting a fixed data layout.

Also allow to pass data layout override callbacks to lazy bitcode module
loader functions.

Move from llvm::makeArrayRef to ArrayRef deduction guides - llvm/ part
Use deduction guides instead of helper functions.

The only non-automatic changes have been:

1. ArrayRef(some_uint8_pointer, 0) needs to be changed into ArrayRef(some_uint8_pointer, (size_t)0) to avoid an ambiguous call with ArrayRef((uint8_t*), (uint8_t*))
2. CVSymbol sym(makeArrayRef(symStorage)); needed to be rewritten as CVSymbol sym{ArrayRef(symStorage)}; otherwise the compiler is confused and thinks we have a (bad) function prototype. There was a few similar situation across the codebase.
3. ADL doesn't seem to work the same for deduction-guides and functions, so at some point the llvm namespace must be explicitly stated.
4. The "reference mode" of makeArrayRef(ArrayRef<T> &) that acts as no-op is not supported (a constructor cannot achieve that).

Per reviewers' comment, some useless makeArrayRef have been removed in the process.

This is a follow-up to https://reviews.llvm.org/D140896 that introduced
the deduction guides.

304f1d59ca [IR] Switch everything to use memory attribute
This switches everything to use the memory attribute proposed in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-unify-memory-effect-attributes/65579.
The old argmemonly, inaccessiblememonly and inaccessiblemem_or_argmemonly
attributes are dropped. The readnone, readonly and writeonly attributes
are restricted to parameters only.

The old attributes are auto-upgraded both in bitcode and IR.
The bitcode upgrade is a policy requirement that has to be retained
indefinitely. The IR upgrade is mainly there so it's not necessary
to update all tests using memory attributes in this patch, which
is already large enough. We could drop that part after migrating
tests, or retain it longer term, to make it easier to import IR
from older LLVM versions.

High-level Function/CallBase APIs like doesNotAccessMemory() or
setDoesNotAccessMemory() are mapped transparently to the memory
attribute. Code that directly manipulates attributes (e.g. via
AttributeList) on the other hand needs to switch to working with
the memory attribute instead.

The pattern matching can fail in cases where we transform two `assume(type.test)`s into `assume(phi(type.test.1, type.test.2))`.

Currently we create `assume(type.test)` for all virtual calls that might be devirtualized. This is to support `-Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility`.

To prevent this, all virtual calls that may not be in the same LTO module instead use a new `llvm.public.type.test` intrinsic in place of the `llvm.type.test`. Then when we know if `-Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility` is passed or not, we can either replace all `llvm.public.type.test` with `llvm.type.test`, or replace all `llvm.public.type.test` with `true`. This prevents WPD from trying to pattern match away `assume(type.test)` for public virtual calls when failing the pattern matching will result in miscompiles.

2a721374ae [IR] Don't use blockaddresses as callbr arguments
Following some recent discussions, this changes the representation
of callbrs in IR. The current blockaddress arguments are replaced
with `!` label constraints that refer directly to callbr indirect
destinations:

    ; Before:
    %res = callbr i8* asm "", "=r,r,i"(i8* %x, i8* blockaddress(@test8, %foo))
    to label %asm.fallthrough [label %foo]
    ; After:
    %res = callbr i8* asm "", "=r,r,!i"(i8* %x)
    to label %asm.fallthrough [label %foo]

The benefit of this is that we can easily update the successors of
a callbr, without having to worry about also updating blockaddress
references. This should allow us to remove some limitations:

* Allow unrolling/peeling/rotation of callbr, or any other
  clone-based optimizations
  (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/41834)
* Allow duplicate successors
  (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/45248)

This is just the IR representation change though, I will follow up
with patches to remove limtations in various transformation passes
that are no longer needed.
