This PR removes the old `nocapture` attribute, replacing it with the new
`captures` attribute introduced in #116990. This change is
intended to be essentially NFC, replacing existing uses of `nocapture`
with `captures(none)` without adding any new analysis capabilities.
Making use of non-`none` values is left for a followup.
Some notes:
* `nocapture` will be upgraded to `captures(none)` by the bitcode
reader.
* `nocapture` will also be upgraded by the textual IR reader. This is to
make it easier to use old IR files and somewhat reduce the test churn in
this PR.
* Helper APIs like `doesNotCapture()` will check for `captures(none)`.
* MLIR import will convert `captures(none)` into an `llvm.nocapture`
attribute. The representation in the LLVM IR dialect should be updated
separately.
…ntElimination
ArgumentPromotion and DeadArgumentElimination passes could change
function signatures but the function name remains the same as before the
transformation. This makes it hard for tracing with bpf programs where
user tends to use function signature in the source. See discussion [1]
for details.
This patch added suffix to functions whose signatures are changed. The
suffix lets users know that function signature has changed and they need
to impact the IR or binary to find modified signature before tracing
those functions.
The suffix for ArgumentPromotion is ".argprom" and the suffixes for
DeadArgumentElimination are ".argelim" and ".retelim". The suffix also
gives user hints about what kind of transformation has been done.
With this patch, I built a recent linux kernel with full LTO enabled. I
got 4 functions with only argpromotion like
```
set_track_update.argelim.argprom
pmd_trans_huge_lock.argprom
...
```
I got 1058 functions with only deadargelim like
```
process_bit0.argelim
pci_io_ecs_init.argelim
...
```
I got 3 functions with both argpromotion and deadargelim
```
set_track_update.argelim.argprom
zero_pud_populate.argelim.argprom
zero_pmd_populate.argelim.argprom
```

This is a follow-up to b71edfaa4ec3c998aadb35255ce2f60bba2940b0
since I forgot the lit.local.cfg files in that one.
Reformatting is done with `black`.
If you end up having problems merging this commit because you
have made changes to a python file, the best way to handle that
is to run git checkout --ours <yourfile> and then reformat it
with black.
If you run into any problems, post to discourse about it and
we will try to help.

With LLVM patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D148269, we hit a linux kernel
bpf selftest compilation failure like below:
...
progs/test_xdp_noinline.c:739:8: error: too many args to t8: i64 = GlobalAddress<ptr @encap_v4> 0, progs/test_xdp_noinline.c:739:8
if (!encap_v4(xdp, cval, &pckt, dst, pkt_bytes))
^
...
progs/test_xdp_noinline.c:321:6: error: defined with too many args
bool encap_v4(struct xdp_md *xdp, struct ctl_value *cval,
^
...
Note that bpf selftests are compiled with -O2 which is
the recommended flag for bpf community.
The bpf backend calling convention is only allowing 5
parameters in registers and does not allow pass arguments
through stacks. In the above case, ArgumentPromotionPass
replaced parameter '&pckt' as two parameters, so the total
number of arguments after ArgumentPromotion pass becomes 6
and this caused later compilation failure during instruction
selection phase.
This patch added a TargetTransformInfo hook getMaxNumArgs()
which returns 5 for BPF and UINT_MAX for other targets.
