This patch moves NEON immediate argument specification and checking to
the system currently shared by both SVE and SME.
In its current form, the TableGen definition of a NEON intrinsic cannot
control how its immediate arguments are range-checked, this information
must be inferred from the name of the intrinsic by NeonEmitter, which
also assumes that any NEON instruction will only ever receive a single
immediate argument. For SVE/SME instrinsics, this information is more
conveniently supplied in the TableGen definition.
As a result, for each immediate argument, NEON instructions must define
- The index of the immediate argument to be checked
- The type of immediate range check to be performed,
(e.g., ImmCheckShiftRight)
- The index of the argument whose type defines the context
of this immediate check (base type, vector size).
- **Difference from SVE/SME** If this definition generates a polymorphic
NEON builtin, the base type defined by this argument is overwritten by
that of the type code supplied to the overloaded builtin call. This
third argument is omitted in some cases due to this.
Here is an example for
[`vfma_laneq`](https://developer.arm.com/architectures/instruction-sets/intrinsics/#f:@navigationhierarchiessimdisa=[Neon]&q=vfma_laneq)
- The immediate is supplied in argument 3
- The immediate is used as an index into the lanes of argument 2
- So we must perform an immediate check on argument 3, based on the type
information of argument 2.
- `ImmCheck<3, ImmCheckLaneIndex, 2>`
During this work, we discovered that the existing immediate
range-checking system was largely untested, which made it difficult to
make reliable progress. Missing tests have been added to verify this
implementation against all intrinsics which take constrained immediate
arguments. All test immediate range checking tests for NEON intrinsics
are moved to a dedicated directory
`clang/test/Sema/aarch64-neon-immediate-ranges/`.

Commit https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/46f3ade introduced a notion
of printing the attributes on the left to improve the printing of attributes
attached to variable declarations. The intent was to produce more GCC compatible
code because clang tends to print the attributes on the right hand side which is
not accepted by gcc.
This approach has increased the complexity in tablegen and the attrubutes
themselves as now the are supposed to know where they could appear. That lead to
mishandling of the `override` keyword which is modelled as an attribute in
clang.
This patch takes an inspiration from the existing approach and tries to keep the
position of the attributes as they were written. To do so we use simpler
heuristic which checks if the source locations of the attribute precedes the

The reason for the bot breakage is that attributes coming from ApiNotes are not
marked implicit even though they do not have source locations. This caused an
assert to trigger. This patch forces attributes with no source location
information to be printed on the left. That change is consistent to the overall
intent of the change to increase the chances for attributes to compile across
toolchains and at the same time the produced code to be as close as possible to
the one written by the user.

This patch replaces the `__arm_new_za`, `__arm_shared_za` and
`__arm_preserves_za` attributes in favour of:
* `__arm_new("za")`
* `__arm_in("za")`
* `__arm_out("za")`
* `__arm_inout("za")`
* `__arm_preserves("za")`
As described in https://github.com/ARM-software/acle/pull/276.
One change is that `__arm_in/out/inout/preserves(S)` are all mutually
exclusive, whereas previously it was fine to write `__arm_shared_za
__arm_preserves_za`. This case is now represented with `__arm_in("za")`.
The current implementation uses the same LLVM attributes under the hood,
since `__arm_in/out/inout` are all variations of "shared ZA", so can use
the existing `aarch64_pstate_za_shared` attribute in LLVM.
#77941 will add support for the new "zt0" state as introduced
with SME2.
Optimize castToDeclContext for 2% improvement in build times
castToDeclContext is a heavily used function, and as such, it needs to
be kept as slim as feasible to preserve as much performance as possible.
To this end, it was observed that the function was generating suboptimal
assembly code, and putting the most common execution path in the longest
sequence of instructions. This patch addresses this by guiding the
compiler towards generating a lookup table of offsets, which can be used
to perform an addition on the pointer. This results in a 1-2%
improvement on debug builds (and a negligible improvement on release).
To achieve this, the switch was simplified to flatten the if statements
in the default branch. In order to make the values of the switch more
compact, encouraging LLVM to generate a look-up table instead of a jump
table, the AST TableGen generator was modified so it can take order
priority based on class inheritance. This combination allowed for a more
optimal generation of the function. Of note, 2 other functions with an
equivalent structure also needed to be modified.

Differential Revision:https://reviews.llvm.org/D141714
Platform-specific language extensions often want to provide a way of
indicating that certain functions should be called in a different way,
compiled in a different way, or otherwise treated differently from a
“normal” function. Honoring these indications is often required for
correctness, rather being than an optimization/QoI thing.
If a function declaration has a property P that matters for correctness,
it will be ODR-incompatible with a function that does not have property P.
If a function type has a property P that affects the calling convention,
it will not be two-way compatible with a function type that does not
have property P. These properties therefore affect language semantics.
That in turn means that they cannot be treated as standard [[]]
attributes.
Until now, many of these properties have been specified using GNU-style
attributes instead. GNU attributes have traditionally been more lax
than standard attributes, with many of them having semantic meaning.
Examples include calling conventions and the vector_size attribute.
However, there is a big drawback to using GNU attributes for semantic
information: compilers that don't understand the attributes will
(by default) emit a warning rather than an error. They will go on to
compile the code as though the attributes weren't present, which will
inevitably lead to wrong code in most cases. For users who live
dangerously and disable the warning, this wrong code could even be
generated silently.
A more robust approach would be to specify the properties using
keywords, which older compilers would then reject. Some vendor-specific
extensions have already taken this approach. But traditionally, each
such keyword has been treated as a language extension in its own right.
This has three major drawbacks:
(1) The parsing rules need to be kept up-to-date as the language evolves.
(2) There are often corner cases that similar extensions handle differently.
(3) Each extension requires more custom code than a standard attribute.
The underlying problem for all three is that, unlike for true attributes,
there is no established template that extensions can reuse. The purpose
of this patch series is to try to provide such a template.
One option would have been to pick an existing keyword and do whatever
that keyword does. The problem with that is that most keywords only
apply to specific kinds of types, kinds of decls, etc., and so the
parsing rules are (for good reason) not generally applicable to all
types and decls.
Really, the “only” thing wrong with using standard attributes is that
standard attributes cannot affect semantics. In all other respects
they provide exactly what we need: a well-defined grammar that evolves
with the language, clear rules about what an attribute appertains to,
and so on.
This series therefore adds keyword “attributes” that can appear
exactly where a standard attribute can appear and that appertain
to exactly what a standard attribute would appertain to. The link is
mechanical and no opt-outs or variations are allowed. This should
make the keywords predictable for programmers who are already
familiar with standard attributes.
This does mean that these keywords will be accepted for parsing purposes
in many more places than necessary. Inappropriate uses will then be
diagnosed during semantic analysis. However, the compiler would need
to reject the keywords in those positions whatever happens, and treating
them as ostensible attributes shouldn't be any worse than the alternative.
In some cases it might even be better. For example, SME's
__arm_streaming attribute would make conceptual sense as a statement
attribute, so someone who takes a “try-it-and-see” approach might write:
__arm_streaming { …block-of-code…; }
In fact, we did consider supporting this originally. The reason for
rejecting it was that it was too difficult to implement, rather than
because it didn't make conceptual sense.
One slight disadvantage of the keyword-based approach is that it isn't
possible to use #pragma clang attribute with the keywords. Perhaps we
could add support for that in future, if it turns out to be useful.
For want of a better term, I've called the new attributes "regular"
keyword attributes (in the sense that their parsing is regular wrt
standard attributes), as opposed to "custom" keyword attributes that
have their own parsing rules.
This patch adds the Attr.td support for regular keyword attributes.
Adding an attribute with a RegularKeyword spelling causes tablegen
to define the associated tokens and to record that attributes created
with that syntax are regular keyword attributes rather than custom
keyword attributes.
A follow-on patch contains the main Parse and Sema support,
which is enabled automatically by the Attr.td definition.
Other notes:
* The series does not allow regular keyword attributes to take
arguments, but this could be added in future.
* I wondered about trying to use tablegen for
TypePrinter::printAttributedAfter too, but decided against it.
RegularKeyword is really a spelling-level classification rather
than an attribute-level classification, and in general, an attribute
could have both GNU and RegularKeyword spellings. In contrast,
printAttributedAfter is only given the attribute kind and the type
that results from applying the attribute. AFAIK, it doesn't have
access to the original attribute spelling. This means that some
attribute-specific or type-specific knowledge might be needed
to print the attribute in the best way.
* Generating the tokens automatically from Attr.td means that
pseudo's libgrammar does now depend on tablegen.
* The patch uses the SME __arm_streaming attribute as an example
for testing purposes. The attribute does not do anything at this
stage. Later SME-specific patches will add proper semantics for it,
and add other SME-related keyword attributes.

This defines two node archetypes with trivial class definitions:
- Alternatives: the generated abstract classes are trivial as all
functionality is via LLVM RTTI
- Unconstrained: this is a placeholder, I think all of these are going to be
Lists but today they have no special accessors etc, so we just say
"could contain anything", and migrate them one-by-one to Sequence later.
Compared to Dmitri's prototype, Nodes.td looks more like a class hierarchy and
less like a grammar. (E.g. variants list the Alternatives parent rather than
vice versa).
The main reasons for this:
- the hierarchy is an important part of the API we want direct control over.
- e.g. we may introduce abstract bases like "loop" that the grammar doesn't
care about in order to model is-a concepts that might make refactorings
more expressive. This is less natural in a grammar-like idiom.
- e.g. we're likely to have to model some alternatives as variants and others
as class hierarchies, the choice will probably be based on natural is-a
relationships.
- it reduces the cognitive load of switching from editing *.td to working with
code that uses the generated classes

The basic technical design here is that we have three levels
of readers and writers:
- At the lowest level, there's a `Basic{Reader,Writer}` that knows
how to emit the basic structures of the AST. CRTP allows this to
be metaprogrammed so that the client only needs to support a handful
of primitive types (e.g. `uint64_t` and `IdentifierInfo*`) and more
complicated "inline" structures such as `DeclarationName` can just
be emitted in terms of those primitives.
In Clang's binary-serialization code, these are
`ASTRecord{Reader,Writer}`. For now, a large number of basic
structures are still emitted explicitly by code on those classes
rather than by either TableGen or CRTP metaprogramming, but I
expect to move more of these over.
- In the middle, there's a `Property{Reader,Writer}` which is
responsible for processing the properties of a larger object. The
object-level reader/writer asks the property-level reader/writer to
project out a particular property, yielding a basic reader/writer
which will be used to read/write the property's value, like so:
```
propertyWriter.find("count").writeUInt32(node->getCount());
```
Clang's binary-serialization code ignores this level (it uses
the basic reader/writer as the property reader/writer and has the
projection methods just return `*this`) and simply relies on the
roperties being read/written in a stable order.
- At the highest level, there's an object reader/writer (e.g.
`Type{Reader,Writer}` which emits a logical object with properties.
Think of this as writing something like a JSON dictionary literal.
I haven't introduced support for bitcode abbreviations yet --- it
turns out that there aren't any operative abbreviations for types
besides the QualType one --- but I do have some ideas of how they
should work. At any rate, they'll be necessary in order to handle
statements.
I'm sorry for not disentangling the patches that added basic and type
reader/writers; I made some effort to, but I ran out of energy after
disentangling a number of other patches from the work.
Negligible impact on module size, time to build a set of about 20
fairly large modules, or time to read a few declarations out of them.

This commit sets up the infrastructure for auto-generating <arm_mve.h>
and doing clang-side code generation for the builtins it relies on,
and demonstrates that it works by implementing a representative sample
of the ACLE intrinsics, more or less matching the ones introduced in
LLVM IR by D67158,D68699,D68700.
Like NEON, that header file will provide a set of vector types like
uint16x8_t and C functions with names like vaddq_u32(). Unlike NEON,
the ACLE spec for <arm_mve.h> includes a polymorphism system, so that
you can write plain vaddq() and disambiguate by the vector types you
pass to it.
Unlike the corresponding NEON code, I've arranged to make every user-
facing ACLE intrinsic into a clang builtin, and implement all the code
generation inside clang. So <arm_mve.h> itself contains nothing but
typedefs and function declarations, with the latter all using the new
`__attribute__((__clang_builtin))` system to arrange that the user-
facing function names correspond to the right internal BuiltinIDs.
So the new MveEmitter tablegen system specifies the full sequence of
IRBuilder operations that each user-facing ACLE intrinsic should
translate into. Where possible, the ACLE intrinsics map to standard IR
operations such as vector-typed `add` and `fadd`; where no standard
representation exists, I call down to the sample IR intrinsics
introduced in an earlier commit.
Doing it like this means that you get the polymorphism for free just
by using __attribute__((overloadable)): the clang overload resolution
decides which function declaration is the relevant one, and _then_ its
BuiltinID is looked up, so by the time we're doing code generation,
that's all been resolved by the standard system. It also means that
you get really nice error messages if the user passes the wrong
combination of types: clang will show the declarations from the header
file and explain why each one doesn't match.
(The obvious alternative approach would be to have wrapper functions
in <arm_mve.h> which pass their arguments to the underlying builtins.
But that doesn't work in the case where one of the arguments has to be
a constant integer: the wrapper function can't pass the constantness
through. So you'd have to do that case using a macro instead, and then
use C11 `_Generic` to handle the polymorphism. Then you have to add
horrible workarounds because `_Generic` requires even the untaken
branches to type-check successfully, and //then// if the user gets the
types wrong, the error message is totally unreadable!)

The primary goal here is to make the type node hierarchy available to
other tblgen backends, although it should also make it easier to generate
more selective x-macros in the future.
Because tblgen doesn't seem to allow backends to preserve the source
order of defs, this is not NFC because it significantly re-orders IDs.
I've fixed the one (fortunately obvious) place where we relied on
the old order. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to share code with the
existing AST-node x-macro generators because the x-macro schema we use
for types is different in a number of ways. The main loss is that
subclasses aren't ordered together, which doesn't seem important for
types because the hierarchy is generally very shallow with little
clustering.

Breaks BUILD_SHARED_LIBS build, introduces cycles in library dependency
graphs. (clangInterp depends on clangAST which depends on clangInterp)
This reverts r370839, which is an yet another recommit of D64146.
