Add the `dead_on_unwind` attribute, which states that the caller will
not read from this argument if the call unwinds. This allows eliding
stores that could otherwise be visible on the unwind path, for example:
```
declare void @may_unwind()
define void @src(ptr noalias dead_on_unwind %out) {
store i32 0, ptr %out
call void @may_unwind()
store i32 1, ptr %out
ret void
}
define void @tgt(ptr noalias dead_on_unwind %out) {
call void @may_unwind()
store i32 1, ptr %out
ret void
}
```
The optimization is not valid without `dead_on_unwind`, because the `i32
0` value might be read if `@may_unwind` unwinds.
This attribute is primarily intended to be used on sret arguments. In
fact, I previously wanted to change the semantics of sret to include
this "no read after unwind" property (see D116998), but based on the
feedback there it is better to keep these attributes orthogonal (sret is
an ABI attribute, dead_on_unwind is an optimization attribute). This is
a reboot of that change with a separate attribute.
This adds support for a HasTailCall flag on function call edges in the
ThinLTO summary. It is intended for use in aiding discovery of missing
frames from tail calls in profiled call stacks for MemProf of profiled
binaries that did not disable tail call elimination. A follow on change
will add the use of this new flag during MemProf context disambiguation.
The new flag is encoded in the bitcode along with either the hotness
flag from the profile, or the relative block frequency under the
-write-relbf-to-summary flag when there is no profile data.
Because we now will always have some additional call edge information, I
have removed the non-profile function summary record format, and we
simply encode the tail call flag along with a hotness type of none when
there is no profile information or relative block frequency. The change
of record format and name caused most of the test case changes.
I have added explicit testing of generation of the new tail call flag
into the bitcode and IR assembly format as part of the changes to
llvm/test/Bitcode/thinlto-function-summary-refgraph.ll. I have also
added round trip testing through assembly and bitcode to
llvm/test/Assembler/thinlto-summary.ll.
This flag indicates that every bit is known to be zero in at least one
of the inputs. This allows the Or to be treated as an Add since there is
no possibility of a carry from any bit.
If the flag is present and this property does not hold, the result is
poison.
This makes it easier to reverse the InstCombine transform that turns Add
into Or.

This reverts commit 0fd5dc94380d5fe666dc6c603b4bb782cef743e7.
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.
Close https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56980.
This patch tries to introduce a light-weight optimization attribute for
coroutines which are guaranteed to only be destroyed after it reached
the final suspend.
The rationale behind the patch is simple. See the example:
```C++
A foo() {
dtor d;
co_await something();
dtor d1;
co_await something();
dtor d2;
co_return 43;
}
```
Generally the generated .destroy function may be:
```C++
void foo.destroy(foo.Frame *frame) {
switch(frame->suspend_index()) {
case 1:
frame->d.~dtor();
break;
case 2:
frame->d.~dtor();
frame->d1.~dtor();
break;
case 3:
frame->d.~dtor();
frame->d1.~dtor();
frame->d2.~dtor();
break;
default: // coroutine completed or haven't started
break;
}
frame->promise.~promise_type();
delete frame;
}
```
Since the compiler need to be ready for all the cases that the coroutine
may be destroyed in a valid state.
However, from the user's perspective, we can understand that certain
coroutine types may only be destroyed after it reached to the final
suspend point. And we need a method to teach the compiler about this.
Then this is the patch. After the compiler recognized that the
coroutines can only be destroyed after complete, it can optimize the
above example to:
```C++
void foo.destroy(foo.Frame *frame) {
frame->promise.~promise_type();
delete frame;
}
```
I spent a lot of time experimenting and experiencing this in the
downstream. The numbers are really good. In a real-world coroutine-heavy
workload, the size of the build dir (including .o files) reduces 14%.
And the size of final libraries (excluding the .o files) reduces 8% in
Debug mode and 1% in Release mode.
This adds a writable attribute, which in conjunction with
dereferenceable(N) states that a spurious store of N bytes is
introduced on function entry. This implies that this many bytes
are writable without trapping or introducing data races. See
https://llvm.org/docs/Atomics.html#optimization-outside-atomic for
why the second point is important.
This attribute can be added to sret arguments. I believe Rust will
also be able to use it for by-value (moved) arguments. Rust likely
won't be able to use it for &mut arguments (tree borrows does not
appear to allow spurious stores).
In this patch the new attribute is only used by LICM scalar promotion.
However, the actual motivation for this is to fix a correctness issue
in call slot optimization, which needs this attribute to avoid
optimization regressions.

Add an nneg flag to the zext instruction, which specifies that the
argument is non-negative. Otherwise, the result is a poison value.
The primary use-case for the flag is to preserve information when sext
gets replaced with zext due to range-based canonicalization. The nneg
flag allows us to convert the zext back into an sext later. This is
useful for some optimizations (e.g. a signed icmp can fold with sext but
not zext), as well as some targets (e.g. RISCV prefers sext over zext).

This patch adds a new fn attribute, `optdebug`, that specifies that
optimizations should make decisions that prioritize debug info quality,
potentially at the cost of runtime performance.
This patch does not add any functional changes triggered by this
attribute, only the attribute itself. A subsequent patch will use this
flag to disable the post-RA scheduler.

NFC opaque pointer cleanup effort.
The module paths string table mapped to both an id sequentially assigned
during LTO linking, and the module hash. The former is leftover from
before the module hash was added for caching and subsequently replaced
use of the module id when renaming promoted symbols (to avoid affects
due to link order changes). The sequentially assigned module id was not
removed, however, as it was still a convenience when serializing to/from
bitcode and assembly.
This patch removes the module id from this table, since it isn't
strictly needed and can lead to confusion on when it is appropriate to
use (e.g. see fix in D156525). It also takes a (likely not significant)
amount of overhead. Where an integer module id is needed (e.g. bitcode
writing), one is assigned on the fly.
There are a couple of test changes since the paths are now sorted
alphanumerically when assigning ids on the fly during assembly writing,
in order to ensure deterministic behavior.

As pointed out in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/undeterministic-thin-index-file/69985, the
block count added to distributed ThinLTO index files breaks incremental
builds on ThinLTO - if any linked file has a different number of BBs,
then the accumulated sum placed in the index files will change, causing
all ThinLTO backend compiles to be redone.
The block count is only used for scaling of partial sample profiles, and
was added in D80403 for D79831.
This patch simply removes this field from the index files of non partial
sample profile compiles, which is NFC on the output of the compiler.
We subsequently need to see if this can be removed for partial sample
profiles without signficant performance loss, or redesigned in a way
that does not destroy caching.

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.
These are essentially add/sub 1 with a clamping value.
AMDGPU has instructions for these. CUDA/HIP expose these as
atomicInc/atomicDec. Currently we use target intrinsics for these,
but those do no carry the ordering and syncscope. Add these to
atomicrmw so we can carry these and benefit from the regular
legalization processes.
Target-extension types represent types that need to be preserved through
optimization, but otherwise are not introspectable by target-independent
optimizations. This patch doesn't add any uses of these types by an existing
backend, it only provides basic infrastructure such that these types would work
correctly.

To reduce space in both the bitcode format and the in memory index,
we do 2 things:
1. We keep a single vector of all uniq stack id hashes, and record the
index into this vector in the callsite and allocation memprof
summaries.
2. When building the combined index during the LTO link, the callsite

This switches everything to use the memory attribute proposed in

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.
