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.
We've been building and testing this no-debug-intrinsic work inside of
the pass manager for a while, so that optimisation passes get exercised
and tested when we turn it on. However, by converting to the
non-intrinsic form in the bitcode loader, we accidentally caused all
parts of LLVM to potentially see non-intrinsic debug-info.
Seeing how we're trying to turn things on incrementally, it was a
mistake to go this far this fast: we can instead just focus on enabling
during optimisations for the moment, then all the other parts of LLVM
later.
Turns out I was using DbgMarker::getDbgValueRange rather than the helper
utility in Instruction::getDbgValueRange, which checks for null-ness.
Original commit message follows.
[DebugInfo][RemoveDIs] Convert debug-info modes when loading bitcode (#78967)
As part of eliminating debug-intrinsics in LLVM, we'll shortly be
pushing the conversion from "old" dbg.value mode to "new" DPValue mode
out from when the pass manager runs, to when modules are loaded. This
patch adds that conversion process and some (temporary) options to
llvm-lto{,2} to help test it.
Specifically: now whenever we load a bitcode module, consider a flag of
whether to "upgrade" it into the new debug-info mode, and if we're
lazily materializing functions then do that lazily too. Doing this
exposes an error in the IRLinker/materializer handling of DPValues,
where we need to transfer the debug-info format flag correctly, and in
ValueMapper we need to remap the Values that DPValues point at.
I've added some test coverage in the modified tests; these will be
exercised by our llvm-new-debug-iterators buildbot.
This upgrading of debug-info won't be happening for the llvm18 release,
instead we'll turn it on after the branch date, thenbe push the boundary
of where "new" debug-info starts and ends down into the existing
debug-info upgrade path over the course of the next release.

This fixes some cases of missing debuginfo caused by an interaction
between:
f0d66559ea,
which drops the identifier from a DICompositeType in the module
containing its
vtable.
and
a61f5e3796,
which causes ThinLTO to import composite types as declarations when they
have
an identifier.
If a virtual class's DICompositeType has no identifier due to the first
change,
and contains a nested anonymous type which does have an identifier, then
the
second change can cause ThinLTO to output the classes's DICompositeType
as a
type definition that links to a non-defining declaration for the nested
type.
Since the nested anonyous type does not have a name, debuggers are
unable to
find the definition for the declaration.
Repro case:
```
cat > a.h <<EOF
class A {
public:
A();
virtual ~A();
private:
union {
int val;
};
};
EOF
cat > a.cc <<EOF
#include "a.h"
A::A() { asm(""); }
A::~A() {}
EOF
cat > main.cc <<EOF
#include "a.h"
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
A a;
return 0;
}
EOF
clang++ -O2 -g -flto=thin -mllvm -force-import-all main.cc a.cc
gdb ./a.out -batch -ex 'pt /rmt A'
```
The gdb command outputs:
```
type = class A {
private:
union {
<incomplete type>
};
}
```
and dwarfdump -i a.out shows a DW_TAG_class_type for A with an
incomplete union
type (note that there is also a duplicate entry with the full union type
that
comes after).
```

This change works around this by making ThinLTO always import full
definitions
for anonymous types.
- [DebugMetadata][DwarfDebug] Support function-local types in lexical
block scopes (4/7)
- [CloneFunction][DebugInfo] Avoid cloning DILocalVariables of inlined
functions
This is a follow-up for https://reviews.llvm.org/D144006, fixing a crash
reported
in Chromium (https://reviews.llvm.org/D144006#4651955).
The first commit is added for convenience, as it has already been
accepted.
If DISubpogram was not cloned (e.g. we are cloning a function that has
other
functions inlined into it, and subprograms of the inlined functions are
not supposed to be cloned), it doesn't make sense to clone its
DILocalVariables as well.
Otherwise get duplicated DILocalVariables not tracked in their
subprogram's retainedNodes, that crash LTO with Chromium.
This is meant to be committed along with
https://reviews.llvm.org/D144006.
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 patch replaces uses of StringRef::{starts,ends}with with
StringRef::{starts,ends}_with for consistency with
std::{string,string_view}::{starts,ends}_with in C++20.
I'm planning to deprecate and eventually remove
StringRef::{starts,ends}with.
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.

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.
Remove support for zext and sext constant expressions. All places
creating them have been removed beforehand, so this just removes the
APIs and uses of these constant expressions in tests.
There is some additional cleanup that can be done on top of this, e.g.
we can remove the ZExtInst vs ZExtOperator footgun.
This is part of
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-remove-most-constant-expressions/63179.
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.
Followup to the discussion on D157499.

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.
Loading a 2GB bitcode file, I noticed that we spend minutes just running
upgradeCULocals(). Apparently it gets invoked every time a metadata
block is loaded, which will be once at the module level and then once
per function. However, the relevant metadata only exists at the module
level, so running this upgrade per function is unnecessary.
Metadata (via ValueAsMetadata) can reference constant expressions
that may no longer be supported. These references can both be in
function-local metadata and module metadata, if the same expression
is used in multiple functions. At least in theory, such references
could also be in metadata proper, rather than just inside
ValueAsMetadata references in calls.
Instead of trying to expand these expressions (which we can't
reliably do), pretend that the constant has been deleted, which
means that ValueAsMetadata references will get replaced with
undef metadata.

This reverts commit f8aab289b5549086062588fba627b0e4d3a5ab15.
This fixes the bitcode upgrade failure reported in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D155924#4616789.
The expansion always happens in the entry block, so this may be
inaccurate if there are trapping constant expressions.
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.

information on rational, see the RFC.
(https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-a-unified-lto-bitcode-frontend/61774).
- Add config parameter to LTO backend, specifying which LTO mode is
desired when using unified LTO.
- Add unified LTO flag to the summary index for efficiency. Unified
LTO modules can be detected without parsing the module.
- Make sure that the ModuleID is generated by incorporating more types
of symbols.

Move `AttributeMask` out of `llvm/IR/Attributes.h` to a new file
`llvm/IR/AttributeMask.h`. After doing this we can remove the
`#include <bitset>` and `#include <set>` directives from `Attributes.h`.
Since there are many headers including `Attributes.h`, but not needing
the definition of `AttributeMask`, this causes unnecessary bloating of
the translation units and slows down compilation.
This commit adds in the include directive for `llvm/IR/AttributeMask.h`
to the handful of source files that need to see the definition.
This reduces the total number of preprocessing tokens across the LLVM
source files in lib from (roughly) 1,917,509,187 to 1,902,982,273 - a
reduction of ~0.76%. This should result in a small improvement in
compilation time.
