This patch adds a new intrinsic experimental.vector.reduce that takes a single
vector and returns a vector of matching type but with the original lane order
reversed. For example:
```
vector.reverse(<A,B,C,D>) ==> <D,C,B,A>
```
The new intrinsic supports fixed and scalable vectors types.
The fixed-width vector relies on shufflevector to maintain existing behaviour.
Scalable vector uses the new ISD node - VECTOR_REVERSE.
This new intrinsic is one of the named shufflevector intrinsics proposed on the
mailing-list in the RFC at [1].

In the past, it was stated in D87994 that it is allowed to dereference a pointer that is partially undefined
if all of its possible representations fit into a dereferenceable range.
The motivation of the direction was to make a range analysis helpful for assuring dereferenceability.
Even if a range analysis concludes that its offset is within bounds, the offset could still be partially undefined; to utilize the range analysis, this relaxation was necessary.
https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/2Qk4fOHUoAE/m/KcvYMEgOAgAJ has more context about this.
However, this is currently blocking another optimization, which is annotating the noundef attribute for library functions' arguments. D95122 is the patch.
Currently, there are quite a few library functions which cannot have noundef attached to its pointer argument because it can be transformed from load/store.
For example, MemCpyOpt can convert stores into memset:
```
store p, i32 0
store (p+1), i32 0 // Since currently it is allowed for store to have partially undefined pointer..
->
memset(p, 0, 8) // memset cannot guarantee that its ptr argument is noundef.
```
A bigger problem is that this makes unclear which library functions are allowed to have 'noundef' and which functions aren't (e.g., strlen).
This makes annotating noundef almost impossible for this kind of functions.
This patch proposes that all memory operations should have well-defined pointers.
For memset/memcpy, it is semantically equivalent to running a loop until the size is met (and branching on undef is UB), so the size is also updated to be well-defined.
Strictly speaking, this again violates the implication of dereferenceability from range analysis result.
However, I think this is okay for the following reasons:
1. It seems the existing analyses in the LLVM main repo does not have conflicting implementation with the new proposal.
`isDereferenceableAndAlignedPointer` works only when the GEP offset is constant, and `isDereferenceableAndAlignedInLoop` is also fine.
2. A possible miscompilation happens only when the source has a pointer with a *partially* undefined offset (it's okay with poison because there is no 'partially poison' value).
But, at least I'm not aware of a language using LLVM as backend that has a well-defined program while allowing partially undefined pointers.
There might be such a language that I'm not aware of, but improving the performance of the mainstream languages like C and Rust is more important IMHO.

explicitly emitting retainRV or claimRV calls in the IR
Background:
This fixes a longstanding problem where llvm breaks ARC's autorelease

instructions or retainRV/claimRV calls. The backend changes are in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D92569.
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html#arc-runtime-objc-autoreleasereturnvalue
What this patch does to fix the problem:
- The front-end adds operand bundle "clang.arc.attachedcall" to calls,
which indicates the call is implicitly followed by a marker
instruction and an implicit retainRV/claimRV call that consumes the
call result. In addition, it emits a call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use, which consumes the call result, to
prevent the middle-end passes from changing the return type of the
called function. This is currently done only when the target is arm64
and the optimization level is higher than -O0.
- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the calls
with the operand bundle in the IR and removes the inserted calls after
processing the function.
- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the call with the
operand bundle. It doesn't remove the operand bundle on the call since
the backend needs it to emit the marker instruction. The retainRV and
claimRV calls are emitted late in the pipeline to prevent optimization
passes from transforming the IR in a way that makes it harder for the
ARC middle-end passes to figure out the def-use relationship between
the call and the retainRV/claimRV calls (which is the cause of
PR31925).
- The function inliner removes an autoreleaseRV call in the callee if
nothing in the callee prevents it from being paired up with the
retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. It then inserts a release call if
claimRV is attached to the call since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is
equivalent to a release. If it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it
tries to transfer the operand bundle to a function call in the callee.
This is important since the ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV
returning the callee result, which makes it impossible to pair it up
with the retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply
emits a retain call in the IR if retainRV is attached to the call and
does nothing if claimRV is attached to it.
- SCCP refrains from replacing the return value of a call with a
constant value if the call has the operand bundle. This ensures the
call always has at least one user (the call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use).
- This patch also fixes a bug in replaceUsesOfNonProtoConstant where
multiple operand bundles of the same kind were being added to a call.

To set non-default rounding mode user usually calls function 'fesetround'
from standard C library. This way has some disadvantages.
* It creates unnecessary dependency on libc. On the other hand, setting
rounding mode requires few instructions and could be made by compiler.
Sometimes standard C library even is not available, like in the case of
GPU or AI cores that execute small kernels.
* Compiler could generate more effective code if it knows that a particular
call just sets rounding mode.
This change introduces new IR intrinsic, namely 'llvm.set.rounding', which
sets current rounding mode, similar to 'fesetround'. It however differs
from the latter, because it is a lower level facility:
* 'llvm.set.rounding' does not return any value, whereas 'fesetround'
returns non-zero value in the case of failure. In glibc 'fesetround'
reports failure if its argument is invalid or unsupported or if floating
point operations are unavailable on the hardware. Compiler usually knows
what core it generates code for and it can validate arguments in many
cases.
* Rounding mode is specified in 'fesetround' using constants like
'FE_TONEAREST', which are target dependent. It is inconvenient to work
with such constants at IR level.
C standard provides a target-independent way to specify rounding mode, it
is used in FLT_ROUNDS, however it does not define standard way to set
rounding mode using this encoding.
This change implements only IR intrinsic. Lowering it to machine code is
target-specific and will be implemented latter. Mapping of 'fesetround'
to 'llvm.set.rounding' is also not implemented here.

Currently LLVM is relying on ValueTracking's `isKnownNonZero` to attach `nonnull`, which can return true when the value is poison.
To make the semantics of `nonnull` consistent with the behavior of `isKnownNonZero`, this makes the semantics of `nonnull` to accept poison, and return poison if the input pointer isn't null.
This makes many transformations like below legal:
```
%p = gep inbounds %x, 1 ; % p is non-null pointer or poison
call void @f(%p) ; instcombine converts this to call void @f(nonnull %p)
```
Instead, this semantics makes propagation of `nonnull` to caller illegal.
The reason is that, passing poison to `nonnull` does not immediately raise UB anymore, so such program is still well defined, if the callee does not use the argument.
Having `noundef` attribute there re-allows this.
```
define void @f(i8* %p) { ; functionattr cannot mark %p nonnull here anymore
call void @g(i8* nonnull %p) ; .. because @g never raises UB if it never uses %p.
ret void
}
```
Another attribute that needs to be updated is `align`. This patch updates the semantics of align to accept poison as well.

This patch adds support for the fptoui.sat and fptosi.sat intrinsics,
which provide basically the same functionality as the existing fptoui
and fptosi instructions, but will saturate (or return 0 for NaN) on
values unrepresentable in the target type, instead of returning
poison. Related mailing list discussion can be found at:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/llvm-dev/cgDFaBmCnDQ/CZAIMj4IBAAJ
The intrinsics have overloaded source and result type and support
vector operands:
i32 @llvm.fptoui.sat.i32.f32(float %f)
i100 @llvm.fptoui.sat.i100.f64(double %f)
<4 x i32> @llvm.fptoui.sat.v4i32.v4f16(half %f)
// etc
On the SelectionDAG layer two new ISD opcodes are added,
FP_TO_UINT_SAT and FP_TO_SINT_SAT. These opcodes have two operands
and one result. The second operand is an integer constant specifying
the scalar saturation width. The idea here is that initially the
second operand and the scalar width of the result type are the same,
but they may change during type legalization. For example:
i19 @llvm.fptsi.sat.i19.f32(float %f)
// builds
i19 fp_to_sint_sat f, 19
// type legalizes (through integer result promotion)
i32 fp_to_sint_sat f, 19
I went for this approach, because saturated conversion does not
compose well. There is no good way of "adjusting" a saturating
conversion to i32 into one to i19 short of saturating twice.
Specifying the saturation width separately allows directly saturating
to the correct width.
There are two baseline expansions for the fp_to_xint_sat opcodes. If
the integer bounds can be exactly represented in the float type and
fminnum/fmaxnum are legal, we can expand to something like:
f = fmaxnum f, FP(MIN)
f = fminnum f, FP(MAX)
i = fptoxi f
i = select f uo f, 0, i # unnecessary if unsigned as 0 = MIN
If the bounds cannot be exactly represented, we expand to something
like this instead:
i = fptoxi f
i = select f ult FP(MIN), MIN, i
i = select f ogt FP(MAX), MAX, i
i = select f uo f, 0, i # unnecessary if unsigned as 0 = MIN
It should be noted that this expansion assumes a non-trapping fptoxi.
Initial tests are for AArch64, x86_64 and ARM. This exercises all of
the scalar and vector legalization. ARM is included to test float
softening.

Clang FE currently has hot/cold function attribute. But we only have

Currently .hot and .unlikely suffix only are added in PGO (Sample PGO)
compilation (through isFunctionHotInCallGraph and
isFunctionColdInCallGraph).
This patch changes the behavior. The new behavior is:
(1) If the user annotates a function as hot or isFunctionHotInCallGraph
is true, this function will be marked as hot. Otherwise,
(2) If the user annotates a function as cold or
isFunctionColdInCallGraph is true, this function will be marked as
cold.
The changes are:
(1) user annotated function attribute will used in setting function
section prefix/suffix.
(2) hot attribute overwrites profile count based hotness.
(3) profile count based hotness overwrite user annotated cold attribute.
The intention for these changes is to provide the user a way to mark
certain function as hot in cases where training input is hard to cover

We need this in our CHERI fork of LLVM to place all globals in address space 200.
This ensures that values are accessed using CHERI load/store instructions
instead of the normal MIPS/RISC-V ones.
The problem this is trying to fix is that most of the time the type of
globals is created using a simple PointerType::getUnqual() (or ::get() with
the default address-space value of 0). This does not work for us and we get
assertion/compilation/instruction selection failures whenever a new call
is added that uses the default value of zero.
In our fork we have removed the default parameter value of zero for most
address space arguments and use DL.getProgramAddressSpace() or
DL.getGlobalsAddressSpace() whenever possible. If this change is accepted,
I will upstream follow-up patches to use DL.getGlobalsAddressSpace() instead

The `dso_local_equivalent` constant is a wrapper for functions that represents a
value which is functionally equivalent to the global passed to this. That is, if
this accepts a function, calling this constant should have the same effects as
calling the function directly. This could be a direct reference to the function,
the `@plt` modifier on X86/AArch64, a thunk, or anything that's equivalent to the
resolved function as a call target.
When lowered, the returned address must have a constant offset at link time from
some other symbol defined within the same binary. The address of this value is
also insignificant. The name is leveraged from `dso_local` where use of a function
or variable is resolved to a symbol in the same linkage unit.
In this patch:
- Addition of `dso_local_equivalent` and handling it
- Update Constant::needsRelocation() to strip constant inbound GEPs and take
advantage of `dso_local_equivalent` for relative references
This is useful for the [Relative VTables C++ ABI](https://reviews.llvm.org/D72959)
which makes vtables readonly. This works by replacing the dynamic relocations for
function pointers in them with static relocations that represent the offset between
the vtable and virtual functions. If a function is externally defined,
`dso_local_equivalent` can be used as a generic wrapper for the function to still
allow for this static offset calculation to be done.

This changes the definition of t2DoLoopStart from

to
GPRlr = t2DoLoopStart rGPR
This will hopefully mean that low overhead loops are more tied together,
and we can more reliably generate loops without reverting or being at
the whims of the register allocator.
This is a fairly simple change in itself, but leads to a number of other
required alterations.
- The hardware loop pass, if UsePhi is set, now generates loops of the
form:
%start = llvm.start.loop.iterations(%N)
loop:
%p = phi [%start], [%dec]
%dec = llvm.loop.decrement.reg(%p, 1)
%c = icmp ne %dec, 0
br %c, loop, exit
- For this a new llvm.start.loop.iterations intrinsic was added, identical
to llvm.set.loop.iterations but produces a value as seen above, gluing
the loop together more through def-use chains.
- This new instrinsic conceptually produces the same output as input,
which is taught to SCEV so that the checks in MVETailPredication are not
affected.
- Some minor changes are needed to the ARMLowOverheadLoop pass, but it has
been left mostly as before. We should now more reliably be able to tell
that the t2DoLoopStart is correct without having to prove it, but
t2WhileLoopStart and tail-predicated loops will remain the same.
- And all the tests have been updated. There are a lot of them!
This patch on it's own might cause more trouble that it helps, with more
tail-predicated loops being reverted, but some additional patches can
hopefully improve upon that to get to something that is better overall.

It's currently ambiguous in IR whether the source language explicitly
did not want a stack a stack protector (in C, via function attribute
no_stack_protector) or doesn't care for any given function.
It's common for code that manipulates the stack via inline assembly or
that has to set up its own stack canary (such as the Linux kernel) would
like to avoid stack protectors in certain functions. In this case, we've
been bitten by numerous bugs where a callee with a stack protector is
inlined into an __attribute__((__no_stack_protector__)) caller, which
generally breaks the caller's assumptions about not having a stack
protector. LTO exacerbates the issue.
While developers can avoid this by putting all no_stack_protector
functions in one translation unit together and compiling those with

Typically, when inlining a callee into a caller, the caller will be
upgraded in its level of stack protection (see adjustCallerSSPLevel()).
By adding an explicit attribute in the IR when the function attribute is
used in the source language, we can now identify such cases and prevent
inlining. Block inlining when the callee and caller differ in the case that one
contains `nossp` when the other has `ssp`, `sspstrong`, or `sspreq`.
Fixes pr/47479.

LLVM IR currently assumes some form of forward progress. This form is
not explicitly defined anywhere, and is the cause of miscompilations
in most languages that are not C++11 or later. This implicit forward progress
guarantee can not be opted out of on a function level nor on a loop
level. Languages such as C (C11 and later), C++ (pre-C++11), and Rust
have different forward progress requirements and this needs to be
evident in the IR.
Specifically, C11 and onwards (6.8.5, Paragraph 6) states that "An
iteration statement whose controlling expression is not a constant
expression, that performs no input/output operations, does not access
volatile objects, and performs no synchronization or atomic operations
in its body, controlling expression, or (in the case of for statement)
its expression-3, may be assumed by the implementation to terminate."
C++11 and onwards does not have this assumption, and instead assumes
that every thread must make progress as defined in [intro.progress] when
it comes to scheduling.
This was initially brought up in [0] as a bug, a solution was presented
in [1] which is the current workaround, and the predecessor to this
change was [2].
After defining a notion of forward progress for IR, there are two
options to address this:
1) Set the default to assuming Forward Progress and provide an opt-out for functions and an opt-in for loops.
2) Set the default to not assuming Forward Progress and provide an opt-in for functions, and an opt-in for loops.
Option 2) has been selected because only C++11 and onwards have a
forward progress requirement and it makes sense for them to opt-into it
via the defined `mustprogress` function attribute. The `mustprogress`
function attribute indicates that the function is required to make
forward progress as defined. This is sharply in contrast to the status
quo where this is implicitly assumed. In addition, `willreturn` implies `mustprogress`.
The background for why this definition was chosen is in [3] and for why
the option was chosen is in [4] and the corresponding thread(s). The implementation is in D85393, the
clang patch is in D86841, the LoopDeletion patch is in D86844, the
Inliner patches are in D87180 and D87262, and there will be more
incoming.

Patch by: Janek van Oirschot
This patch adds metadata !noundef and makes load instructions can optionally have it.
A load with !noundef always return a well-defined value (has no undef bit or isn't poison).
If the loaded value isn't well defined, the behavior is undefined.
This metadata can be used to encode the assumption from C/C++ that certain reads of variables should have well-defined values.
It is helpful for optimizing freeze instructions away, because freeze can be removed when its operand has well-defined value, and showing that a load from arbitrary location is well-defined is usually hard otherwise.
The same information can be encoded with llvm.assume with operand bundle; using metadata is chosen because I wasn't sure whether code motion can be freely done when llvm.assume is inserted from clang instead.
The existing codebase already is stripping unknown metadata when doing code motion, so using metadata is UB-safe as well.

This reverts commit eb9f7c28e5fe6d75fed3587023e17f2997c8024b.
Previously this was incorrectly handling linking of the contained
type, so this merges the fixes from D88973.
Add some minimal documentation for DILabel, originally introduced in
D45024. Update the name and semantics of the `variables:` field in the
documentation for `DISubprogram`; the field is now called
`retainedNodes:` and is a heterogeneous list of `DILocalVariable` and
`DILabel`.
