RFC on discourse:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-debug-info-for-coroutine-suspension-locations-take-2/86606
With this commit, we add `DILabel` debug infos to the resume points of a
coroutine. Those labels can be used by debugging scripts to figure out
the exact line and column at which a coroutine was suspended by looking
up current `__coro_index` value inside the coroutines frame, and then
searching for the corresponding label inside the coroutine's resume
function.
The DWARF information generated for such a label looks like:
```
0x00000f71: DW_TAG_label
DW_AT_name ("__coro_resume_1")
DW_AT_decl_file ("generator-example.cpp")
DW_AT_decl_line (5)
DW_AT_decl_column (3)
DW_AT_artificial (true)
DW_AT_LLVM_coro_suspend_idx (0x01)
DW_AT_low_pc (0x00000000000019be)
```
The labels can be mapped to their corresponding `__coro_idx` values
either via their naming convention `__coro_resume_<N>` or using the new
`DW_AT_LLVM_coro_suspend_idx` attribute. In gdb, those line numebrs can
be looked up using `info line -function my_coroutine -label
__coro_resume_1`. LLDB unfortunately does not understand DW_TAG_label
debug information, yet.
Given this is an artificial compiler-generated label, I did apply the
DW_AT_artificial tag to it. The DWARFv5 standard only allows that tag on
type and variable definitions, but this is a natural extension and was
also blessed in the RFC on discourse.
Also, this commit adds `DW_AT_decl_column` to labels, not only for
coroutines but also for normal C and C++ labels. While not strictly
necessary, I am doing so now because it would be harder to do so later
without breaking the binary LLVM-IR format
Drive-by fixes: While reading the existing test cases to understand how
to write my own test case, I did a couple of small typo fixes and
comment improvements
Patch 1/4 adding bitcode support.
Store whether or not a function is using Key Instructions in its DISubprogram so
that we don't need to rely on the -mllvm flag -dwarf-use-key-instructions to
determine whether or not to interpret Key Instructions metadata to decide
is_stmt placement at DWARF emission time. This makes bitcode support simple and
enables well defined mixing of non-key-instructions and key-instructions
functions in an LTO context.
This patch adds the bit (using DISubprogram::SubclassData1).
PR 144104 and 144103 use it during DWARF emission.
PR 44102 adds bitcode
support.
See pull request for overview of alternative attempts.
In Ada, a record type can have a non-constant size, and a field can
appear at a non-constant bit offset in a record.
To support this, this patch changes DIType to record the size and offset
using metadata, rather than plain integers. In addition to a constant
offset, both DIVariable and DIExpression are now supported here.
One thing of note in this patch is the choice of how exactly to
represent a non-constant bit offset, with the difficulty being that
DWARF 5 does not support this. DWARF 3 did have a way to support a
non-constant byte offset, combined with a constant bit offset within the
byte, but this was deprecated in DWARF 4 and removed from DWARF 5.
This patch takes a simple approach: a DWARF extension allowing the use
of an expression with DW_AT_data_bit_offset. There is a corresponding
DWARF issue, see https://dwarfstd.org/issues/250501.1.html. The main
reason for this approach is that it keeps API simplicity: just a single
value is needed, rather than having separate data describing the byte
offset and the bit within the byte.
Column is limited to 16 bits in several places in the compiler:
DebugInfoMetadata.cpp#L87, LLParser.cpp#L4706, and more
Slight compile time improvement due to reducing `hash_combine` workload
in `MDNodeKeyImpl<DILocation>::getHashValue()`.
Positively affects compile time regardless of whether Key Instructions
is enabled. See PR for numbers.
[KeyInstr] MDNodeKeyImpl<DILocation> skip zero values for hash
Hashing AtomGroup and AtomRank substantially impacts performance whether Key
Instructions is enabled or not. We can't detect whether it's enabled here
cheaply; avoiding hashing zero values is a good approximation. This affects
Key Instruction builds too, but any potential costs incurred by messing with
the hash distribution (hash_combine(x) != hash_combine(x, 0)) appear to still
be massively outweighed by the overall compile time savings by performing this
check.
See PR for compile-time-tracker numbers.
Source location atoms are identified by a function-local number and the
DILocation's InlinedAt field. The front end is responsible for assigning source
atom numbers, but certain optimisations need to assign new atom numbers to some
instructions. Most often code duplication optimisations like loop
unroll. Tracking a global maximum value (waterline) means we can easily
(cheaply) get new numbers that don't clash in any function.
The waterline is managed through DILocation creation,
LLVMContext::incNextAtomGroup, and LLVMContext::updateAtomGroupWaterline.

This prevents a compile time regression pointed out by nikic
The additional checks in the methods seem to cause most of the regression
(rather than being a consequence of increased size due to the fields
themselves).
The additional ifdefs are somewhat ugly, but will eventually be removed.
Follow up to #133477.
As nikic pointed out: We need to use uint64_t for both fields to get
actual bit packing with msvc (https://c.godbolt.org/z/1f556c1zb).
The cast to u8 in hash_combine prevents an increase in compile time
(+0.16% for stage1-O0-g on compile-time-tracker).
Currently BlockAddresses store both the Function and the BasicBlock they
reference, and the BlockAddress is part of the use list of both the
Function and BasicBlock.
This is quite awkward, because this is not really a use of the function
itself (and walks of function uses generally skip block addresses for
that reason). This also has weird implications on function RAUW (as that
will replace the function in block addresses in a way that generally
doesn't make sense), and causes other peculiar issues, like the ability
to have multiple block addresses for one block (with different
functions).
Instead, I believe it makes more sense to specify only the basic block
and let the function be implied by the BB parent. This does mean that we
may have block addresses without a function (if the BB is not inserted),
but this should only happen during IR construction.
By calling this function after every link, we introduce quadratic
behavior during full LTO links that primarily affects links involving
large numbers of constant arrays, such as the full LTO part of a
ThinLTO link which will involve large numbers of vtable constants.
Removing this call resulted in a 1.3x speedup in the indexing phase
of a large internal Google binary.
This call was originally introduced to reduce memory consumption during
full LTO (see commit dab999d54f39af3ebb6a23e850dbc9742016fac8), but it
doesn't seem to be the case that this helps any more. I ran 3 stage2
links of clang with full LTO and ThinLTO with and without this change
and measured the max RSS. The results were as follows (all in KB):
```
FullLTO before 22362512 22383524 22387456
after 22383496 22365356 22364352
ThinLTO before 4391404 4478192 4383468
after 4399220 4363100 4417688
```
As you can see, any max RSS differences are in the noise.

This adds DWARF generation for fixed-point types. This feature is needed
by Ada.
Note that a pre-existing GNU extension is used in one case. This has
been emitted by GCC for years, and is needed because standard DWARF is
otherwise incapable of representing these types.
In Ada, an array can be packed and the elements can take less space than
their natural object size. For example, for this type:
type Packed_Array is array (4 .. 8) of Boolean;
pragma pack (Packed_Array);
... each element of the array occupies a single bit, even though the
"natural" size for a Boolean in memory is a byte.
In DWARF, this is represented by putting a DW_AT_bit_stride onto the
array type itself.
This patch adds a bit stride to DICompositeType so that gnat-llvm can
emit DWARF for these sorts of arrays.
An Ada program can have types that are subranges of other types. This
patch adds a new DIType node, DISubrangeType, to represent this concept.
I considered extending the existing DISubrange to do this, but as
DISubrange does not derive from DIType, that approach seemed more
disruptive.
A DISubrangeType can be used both as an ordinary type, but also as the
type of an array index. This is also important for Ada.
Ada subrange types can also be stored using a bias. Representing this in
the DWARF required the use of an extension. GCC has been emitting this
extension for years, so I've reused it here.
Add a specification attribute to LLVM DebugInfo, which is analogous
to DWARF's DW_AT_specification. According to the DWARF spec:
"A debugging information entry that represents a declaration that
completes another (earlier) non-defining declaration may have a
DW_AT_specification attribute whose value is a reference to the
debugging information entry representing the non-defining declaration."
This patch allows types to be specifications of other types. This is
used by Swift to represent generic types. For example, given this Swift
program:
```
struct MyStruct<T> {
let t: T
}
let variable = MyStruct<Int>(t: 43)
```
The Swift compiler emits (roughly) an unsubtituted type for MyStruct<T>:
```
DW_TAG_structure_type
DW_AT_name ("MyStruct")
// "$s1w8MyStructVyxGD" is a Swift mangled name roughly equivalent to
// MyStruct<T>
DW_AT_linkage_name ("$s1w8MyStructVyxGD")
// other attributes here
```
And a specification for MyStruct<Int>:
```
DW_TAG_structure_type
DW_AT_specification (<link to "MyStruct">)
// "$s1w8MyStructVySiGD" is a Swift mangled name equivalent to
// MyStruct<Int>
DW_AT_linkage_name ("$s1w8MyStructVySiGD")
DW_AT_byte_size (0x08)
// other attributes here
```
An extra inhabitant is a bit pattern that does not represent a valid
value for instances of a given type. The number of extra inhabitants is
the number of those bit configurations.
This is used by Swift to save space when composing types. For example,
because Bool only needs 2 bit patterns to represent all of its values
(true and false), an Optional<Bool> only occupies 1 byte in memory by
using a bit configuration that is unused by Bool. Which bit patterns are
unused are part of the ABI of the language.
Since Swift generics are not monomorphized, by using dynamic libraries
you can have generic types whose size, alignment, etc, are known only
at runtime (which is why this feature is needed).
This patch adds num_extra_inhabitants to LLVM-IR debug info and in DWARF
as an Apple extension.
LegacyPointerTypes is not used any longer and can be removed from
the LLVM context.
Also remove a copy-pasted code comment in TypedPointerType that
doesn't make sense (since there is no special case for address space
zero in the TypedPointerType::get implementation).
It is now translated to `<1 x i64>`, which allows the removal of a bunch
of special casing.
This _incompatibly_ changes the ABI of any LLVM IR function with
`x86_mmx` arguments or returns: instead of passing in mmx registers,
they will now be passed via integer registers. However, the real-world
incompatibility caused by this is expected to be minimal, because Clang
never uses the x86_mmx type -- it lowers `__m64` to either `<1 x i64>`
or `double`, depending on ABI.
This change does _not_ eliminate the SelectionDAG `MVT::x86mmx` type.
That type simply no longer corresponds to an IR type, and is used only
by MMX intrinsics and inline-asm operands.
Because SelectionDAGBuilder only knows how to generate the
operands/results of intrinsics based on the IR type, it thus now
generates the intrinsics with the type MVT::v1i64, instead of
MVT::x86mmx. We need to fix this before the DAG LegalizeTypes, and thus
have the X86 backend fix them up in DAGCombine. (This may be a
short-lived hack, if all the MMX intrinsics can be removed in upcoming
changes.)
Works towards issue #98272.
Functions created with createWithDefaultAttr() need to have the
correct target-{cpu,features} attributes to avoid miscompilations
such as using the wrong relocation type to access globals (missing
tagged-globals feature), clobbering registers specified via -ffixed-*
(missing reserve-* feature), and so on.
There's already a number of attributes copied from the module flags
onto functions created by createWithDefaultAttr(). I don't think
module flags are the right choice for the target attributes because
we don't need the conflict resolution logic between modules with
different target attributes, nor does it seem sensible to add it:
there's no unambiguously "correct" set of target attributes when
merging two modules with different attributes, and nor should there
be; it's perfectly valid for two modules to be compiled with different
target attributes, that's the whole reason why they are per-function.
This also implies that it's unnecessary to serialize the attributes in
bitcode, which implies that they shouldn't be stored on the module. We
can also observe that for the most part, createWithDefaultAttr()
is called from compiler passes such as sanitizers, coverage and
profiling passes that are part of the compile time pipeline, not
the LTO pipeline. This hints at a solution: we need to store the
attributes in a non-serialized location associated with the ambient
compilation context. Therefore in this patch I elected to store the
attributes on the LLVMContext.
There are calls to createWithDefaultAttr() in the NVPTX and AMDGPU
backends, and those calls would happen at LTO time. For those callers,
the bug still potentially exists and it would be necessary to refactor
them to create the functions at compile time if this issue is relevant
on those platforms.

Extend `DIBasicType` and `DISubroutineType` with additional field
`annotations`, e.g. as below:
```
!5 = !DIBasicType(name: "int", size: 32, encoding: DW_ATE_signed, annotations: !6)
!6 = !{!7}
!7 = !{!"btf:type_tag", !"tag1"}
```
The field would be used by BPF backend to generate DWARF attributes
corresponding to `btf_type_tag` type attributes, e.g.:
```
0x00000029: DW_TAG_base_type
DW_AT_name ("int")
DW_AT_encoding (DW_ATE_signed)
DW_AT_byte_size (0x04)
0x0000002d: DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation
DW_AT_name ("btf:type_tag")
DW_AT_const_value ("tag1")
```
Such DWARF entries would be used to generate BTF definitions by tools
like [pahole](https://github.com/acmel/dwarves).
Note: similar fields with similar purposes are already present in
DIDerivedType and DICompositeType.
Currently "btf_type_tag" attributes are represented in debug information
as 'annotations' fields in DIDerivedType with DW_TAG_pointer_type tag.
The annotation on a pointer corresponds to pointee having the attributes
in the final BTF.
The discussion in
[thread](https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/87r0w9jjoq.fsf@oracle.com/) came to
conclusion, that such annotations should apply to the annotated type
itself. Hence the necessity to extend `DIBasicType` & `DISubroutineType`
types with 'annotations' field to represent cases like below:
```
int __attribute__((btf_type_tag("foo"))) bar;
```

This defines a new kind of IR Constant that represents a ptrauth signed
pointer, as used in AArch64 PAuth.
It allows representing most kinds of signed pointer constants used thus
far in the llvm ptrauth implementations, notably those used in the
Darwin and ELF ABIs being implemented for c/c++. These signed pointer
constants are then lowered to ELF/MachO relocations.
These can be simply thought of as a constant `llvm.ptrauth.sign`, with
the interesting addition of discriminator computation: the `ptrauth`
constant can also represent a combined blend, when both address and
integer discriminator operands are used. Both operands are otherwise
optional, with default values 0/null.
A DISubprogram's hashing algorithm takes into account its Scope. A Scope
can be a temporary though which can be replaced later on during
compilation. This means that the hashing algorithm for a DISubprogram
could produce a different hash before/after the Scope has changed. Fix
this by checking the Scope's linkage name instead, which should always
be the same.

Another trivial rename patch, the last big one for now, which renamed
DPMarkers to DbgMarkers. This required the field `DbgMarker` in
`Instruction` to be renamed to `DebugMarker` to avoid a clash, but
otherwise was a simple string substitution of `s/DPMarker/DbgMarker` and
a manual renaming of `DPM` to `DM` in the few places where that acronym
was used for debug markers.
This is the major rename patch that prior patches have built towards.
The DPValue class is being renamed to DbgVariableRecord, which reflects
the updated terminology for the "final" implementation of the RemoveDI
feature. This is a pure string substitution + clang-format patch. The
only manual component of this patch was determining where to perform
these string substitutions: `DPValue` and `DPV` are almost exclusively
used for DbgRecords, *except* for:
- llvm/lib/target, where 'DP' is used to mean double-precision, and so
appears as part of .td files and in variable names. NB: There is a
single existing use of `DPValue` here that refers to debug info, which
I've manually updated.
- llvm/tools/gold, where 'LDPV' is used as a prefix for symbol
visibility enums.
Outside of these places, I've applied several basic string
substitutions, with the intent that they only affect DbgRecord-related
identifiers; I've checked them as I went through to verify this, with
reasonable confidence that there are no unintended changes that slipped
through the cracks. The substitutions applied are all case-sensitive,
and are applied in the order shown:
```
DPValue -> DbgVariableRecord
DPVal -> DbgVarRec
DPV -> DVR
```
Following the previous rename patches, it should be the case that there
are no instances of any of these strings that are meant to refer to the
general case of DbgRecords, or anything other than the DPValue class.
The idea behind this patch is therefore that pure string substitution is
correct in all cases as long as these assumptions hold.

Memory sanitizer detects usage of `RawData` union member which is not
filled directly. Instead, the code relies on filling `Data` union
member, which is a struct consisting of signing schema parameters.
According to https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/union, this is
UB:
"It is undefined behavior to read from the member of the union that
wasn't most recently written".
Instead of relying on compiler allowing us to do dirty things, do not
use union and only store `RawData`. Particular ptrauth parameters are
obtained on demand via bit operations.

This patch continues the ongoing rename work, replacing DPValue with
DbgRecord in comments and the names of variables, both members and
fn-local. This is the most labour-intensive part of the rename, as it is
where the most decisions have to be made about whether a given comment
or variable is referring to DPValues (equivalent to debug variable
intrinsics) or DbgRecords (a catch-all for all debug intrinsics); these
decisions are not individually difficult, but comprise a fairly large
amount of text to review.
This patch still largely performs basic string substitutions followed by
clang-format; there are almost* no places where, for example, a comment
has been expanded or modified to reflect the semantic difference between
DPValues and DbgRecords. I don't believe such a change is generally
necessary in LLVM, but it may be useful in the docs, and so I'll be
submitting docs changes as a separate patch.
*In a few places, `dbg.values` was replaced with `debug intrinsics`.
As part of the effort to rename the DbgRecord classes, this patch
renames the widely-used functions that operate on DbgRecords but refer
to DbgValues or DPValues in their names to refer to DbgRecords instead;
all such functions are defined in one of `BasicBlock.h`,
`Instruction.h`, and `DebugProgramInstruction.h`.
This patch explicitly does not change the names of any comments or
variables, except for where they use the exact name of one of the
renamed functions. The reason for this is reviewability; this patch can
be trivially examined to determine that the only changes are direct
string substitutions and any results from clang-format responding to the
changed line lengths. Future patches will cover renaming variables and
comments, and then renaming the classes themselves.

NOTE: For brevity the following talks about ConstantInt but
everything extends to cover ConstantFP as well.
Whilst ConstantInt::get() supports the creation of vectors whereby
each lane has the same value, it achieves this via other constants:
* ConstantVector for fixed-length vectors
* ConstantExprs for scalable vectors
However, ConstantExprs are being deprecated and ConstantVector is
not space efficient for larger vector types. By extending ConstantInt
we can represent vector splats by only storing the underlying scalar
value.
More specifically:
* ConstantInt gains an ElementCount variant of get().
* LLVMContext is extended to map <EC,APInt>->ConstantInt.
* BitcodeReader/Writer support is extended to allow vector types.
Whilst this patch adds the base support, more work is required
before it's production ready. For example, there's likely to be
many places where isa<ConstantInt> assumes a scalar type. Accordingly
the default behaviour of ConstantInt::get() remains unchanged but a
set of flags are added to allow wider testing and thus help with the
migration:
--use-constant-int-for-fixed-length-splat
--use-constant-fp-for-fixed-length-splat
--use-constant-int-for-scalable-splat
--use-constant-fp-for-scalable-splat
NOTE: No change is required to the bitcode format because types and
values are handled separately.
NOTE: For similar reasons as above, code generation doesn't work
out-the-box.
DenseMapAPIntKeyInfo looks like a redundant definition because it
mirrors the default used by DenseMap when not specified.
Replacing DenseMapAPFloatKeyInfo with a specialisation of
DenseMapInfo allows DenseMap<T> to be more easily used when T is
an aggregate type containing an APFloat.

The original commit removed DIArgLists from being in an MDNode map, but did
not insert a new `delete` in the LLVMContextImpl destructor. This
reapply adds that call to delete, preventing a memory leak.
This patch changes the `DIArgList` class's inheritance from `MDNode` to
`Metadata, ReplaceableMetadataImpl`, and ensures that it is always
unique, i.e. a distinct DIArgList should never be produced.
This should not result in any changes to IR or bitcode parsing and
printing, as the format for DIArgList is unchanged, and the order in which it
appears should also be identical. As a minor note, this patch also fixes
a gap in the verifier, where the ValueAsMetadata operands to a DIArgList
would not be visited.

metadata-uses of DPValues is plumbed into the metadata hierachy, and a

debug-info automatically updated in the background when various operations
occur.

The test migration to opaque pointers has finished, so we can finally
drop typed pointer support from LLVM \o/
This removes the ability to disable typed pointers, as well as the
-opaque-pointers option, but otherwise doesn't yet touch any API
surface. I'll leave deprecation/removal of compatibility APIs to
future changes.
This also drops a few tests: These are either testing errors that
only occur with typed pointers, or type linking behavior that, to
the best of my knowledge, only applies to typed pointers.
Note that this will break some tests in the experimental SPIRV
backend, because the maintainers have failed to update their tests
in a reasonable time-frame, despite multiple warnings. In accordance
with our experimental target policy, this is not a blocking concern.

To make the map lookups simpler for opaque pointers and to simplify future typed pointer code removal. No significant compile time wins though.
While we're here, remove the address space 0 optimization for typed pointers.
