Introduce the `-fsanitize=realtime` flag in clang driver
Plug in the RealtimeSanitizer PassManager pass in Codegen, and attribute
a function based on if it has the `[[clang::nonblocking]]` function
effect.
Marks exported functions with `"hlsl.export"` attribute. This
information will be later used by DXILFinalizeLinkage pass (coming soon)
to determine which functions should have internal linkage in the final
DXIL code.

Through the new `-foffload-via-llvm` flag, CUDA kernels can now be
lowered to the LLVM/Offload API. On the Clang side, this is simply done
by using the OpenMP offload toolchain and emitting calls to `llvm*`
functions to orchestrate the kernel launch rather than `cuda*`
functions. These `llvm*` functions are implemented on top of the
existing LLVM/Offload API.
As we are about to redefine the Offload API, this wil help us in the
design process as a second offload language.
We do not support any CUDA APIs yet, however, we could:

This provides -fptrauth-auth-traps, which at the frontend level only
controls the addition of the "ptrauth-auth-traps" function attribute.
The attribute in turn controls various aspects of backend codegen, by
providing the guarantee that every "auth" operation generated will trap
on failure.
This can either be delegated to the hardware (if AArch64 FPAC is known
to be available), in which case this attribute doesn't change codegen.
Otherwise, if FPAC isn't available, this asks the backend to emit
additional instructions to check and trap on auth failure.
We already ended up with -fptrauth-returns, the feature macro, the lang
opt, and the actual backend lowering.
The only part left is threading it all through PointerAuthOptions, to
drive the addition of the "ptrauth-returns" attribute to generated
functions.
While there, do minor cleanup on ptrauth-function-attributes.c.
This also adds ptrauth_key_return_address to ptrauth.h.
Enabled in clang using:
-fptrauth-indirect-gotos
and at the IR level using function attribute:
"ptrauth-indirect-gotos"
Signing uses IA and a per-function integer discriminator. The
discriminator isn't ABI-visible, and is currently:
ptrauth_string_discriminator("<function_name> blockaddress")
A sufficiently sophisticated frontend could benefit from per-indirectbr
discrimination, which would need additional machinery, such as allowing
"ptrauth" bundles on indirectbr. For our purposes, the simple scheme
above is sufficient.
This approach doesn't support subtracting label addresses and using
the result as offsets, because each label address is signed.
Pointer arithmetic on signed pointers corrupts the signature bits,
and because label address expressions aren't typed beyond void*,
we can't do anything reliably intelligent on the arithmetic exprs.
Not signing addresses when used to form offsets would allow
easily hijacking control flow by overwriting the offset.
This diagnoses the basic cases (`&&lbl2 - &&lbl1`) in the frontend,
while we evaluate either alternative implementations (e.g., lowering
blockaddress to a bb number, and indirectbr to a checked jump-table),
or better diagnostics (both at the frontend level and on unencodable
IR constants).
When generating the body of the ifunc resolver, clang skips runtime
checks for features that are implied from the command line. We bend this
rule for certain features (memtag, bti, dgh), but this happens quite
arbitrarily in my opinion. The reasoning is that some features are in
the HINT instruction space, meaning they operate as NOPs if the hardware
does not support them. Still the user wants to detect their presence
with runtime checks. See #90928 for details.
I think we should always perform runtime checks regardless of the
feature and then try to statically resolve calls whenever a function is
compiled with a sufficiently high set of architecture features (so
including target/target_version/target_clones attributes, and command
line options). This is what GCC does. We have an open PR in LLVM
GlobalOpt since it was suggested not to perform such codegen
optimizations in clang anyway. See #87939.
Re-signing occurs when function type discrimination is enabled and a
function pointer is converted to another function pointer type that
requires signing using a different discriminator. A function pointer is
re-signed using discriminator zero when it's converted to a pointer to a
non-function type such as `void*`.

There are two problems with _BitInt prior to this patch:
1. For at least some values of N, we cannot use LLVM's iN for the type
of struct elements, array elements, allocas, global variables, and so
on, because the LLVM layout for that type does not match the high-level
layout of _BitInt(N).
Example: Currently for i128:128 targets correct implementation is
possible either for __int128 or for _BitInt(129+) with lowering to iN,
but not both, since we have now correct implementation of __int128 in
place after a21abc7.
When this happens, opaque [M x i8] types used, where M =
sizeof(_BitInt(N)).
2. LLVM doesn't guarantee any particular extension behavior for integer
types that aren't a multiple of 8. For this reason, all _BitInt types
are now have in-memory representation that is a whole number of bytes.
I.e. for example _BitInt(17) now will have memory layout type i32.
This patch also introduces concept of load/store type and adds an API to
CodeGenTypes that returns the IR type that should be used for load and
store operations. This is particularly useful for the case when a
_BitInt ends up having array of bytes as memory layout type. For
_BitInt(N), let M = sizeof(_BitInt(N)), and let BITS = M * 8. Loads and
stores of iM would both (1) produce far better code from the backends
and (2) be far more optimizable by IR passes than loads and stores of [M
x i8].

Virtual function pointer entries in v-tables are signed with address
discrimination in addition to declaration-based discrimination, where an
integer discriminator the string hash (see
`ptrauth_string_discriminator`) of the mangled name of the overridden
method. This notably provides diversity based on the full signature of
the overridden method, including the method name and parameter types.
This patch introduces ItaniumVTableContext logic to find the original
declaration of the overridden method.
On AArch64, these pointers are signed using the `IA` key (the
process-independent code key.)
V-table pointers can be signed with either no discrimination, or a
similar scheme using address and decl-based discrimination. In this
case, the integer discriminator is the string hash of the mangled
v-table identifier of the class that originally introduced the vtable
pointer.
On AArch64, these pointers are signed using the `DA` key (the
process-independent data key.)
Not using discrimination allows attackers to simply copy valid v-table
pointers from one object to another. However, using a uniform
discriminator of 0 does have positive performance and code-size
implications on AArch64, and diversity for the most important v-table
access pattern (virtual dispatch) is already better assured by the
signing schemas used on the virtual functions. It is also known that
some code in practice copies objects containing v-tables with `memcpy`,
and while this is not permitted formally, it is something that may be
invasive to eliminate.
This is controlled by:
```
-fptrauth-vtable-pointer-type-discrimination
-fptrauth-vtable-pointer-address-discrimination
```
In addition, this provides fine-grained controls in the
ptrauth_vtable_pointer attribute, which allows overriding the default
ptrauth schema for vtable pointers on a given class hierarchy, e.g.:
```
[[clang::ptrauth_vtable_pointer(no_authentication, no_address_discrimination,
no_extra_discrimination)]]
[[clang::ptrauth_vtable_pointer(default_key, default_address_discrimination,
custom_discrimination, 0xf00d)]]
```
The override is then mangled as a parametrized vendor extension:
```
"__vtptrauth" I
<key>
<addressDiscriminated>
<extraDiscriminator>
E
```
To support this attribute, this patch adds a small extension to the
attribute-emitter tablegen backend.
Note that there are known areas where signing is either missing
altogether or can be strengthened. Some will be addressed in later
changes (e.g., member function pointers, some RTTI).
`dynamic_cast` in particular is handled by emitting an artificial
v-table pointer load (in a way that always authenticates it) before the
runtime call itself, as the runtime doesn't have enough information
today to properly authenticate it. Instead, the runtime is currently
expected to strip the v-table pointer.

Uses the new InsertPosition class (added in #94226) to simplify some of
the IRBuilder interface, and removes the need to pass a BasicBlock
alongside a BasicBlock::iterator, using the fact that we can now get the
parent basic block from the iterator even if it points to the sentinel.
This patch removes the BasicBlock argument from each constructor or call
to setInsertPoint.
This has no functional effect, but later on as we look to remove the
`Instruction *InsertBefore` argument from instruction-creation
(discussed
[here](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/psa-instruction-constructors-changing-to-iterator-only-insertion/77845)),
this will simplify the process by allowing us to deprecate the
InsertPosition constructor directly and catch all the cases where we use
instructions rather than iterators.
This patch simplifies instruction creation by replacing all overloads of
instruction constructors/Create methods that are identical other than
the Instruction *InsertBefore/BasicBlock *InsertAtEnd/BasicBlock::iterator
InsertBefore argument with a single version that takes an InsertPosition
argument. The InsertPosition class can be implicitly constructed from
any of the above, internally converting them to the appropriate
BasicBlock::iterator value which can then be used to insert the
instruction (or to not insert it if an invalid iterator is passed).
The upshot of this is that code will be deduplicated, and all callsites
will switch to calling the new unified version without any changes
needed to make the compiler happy. There is at least one exception to
this; the construction of InsertPosition is a user-defined conversion,
so any caller that was already relying on a different user-defined
conversion won't work. In all of LLVM and Clang this happens exactly
once: at clang/lib/CodeGen/CGExpr.cpp:123 we try to construct an alloca
with an AssertingVH<Instruction> argument, which must now be cast to an
Instruction* by using `&*`. If this is more common elsewhere, it could
be fixed by adding an appropriate constructor to InsertPosition.
This is in effect a revert of f139ae3d93797, as we have since gained a
more sophisticated way of doing extra IRGen with the addition of
RawAddress in #86923.
Instead add a proper attribute in clang, and add convert it to function
metadata to keep the information in the IR. The goal is to remove the
dependency on __attribute__((assume)) that should have not be there in
the first place.
Ref https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/84934
PR #80680 added bits in the codegen to lazily add convergence intrinsics
when required. This logic relied on the LoopStack. The issue is when
parsing the condition, the loopstack doesn't yet reflect the correct
values, as expected since we are not yet in the loop.
However, convergence tokens should sometimes already be available. The
solution which seemed the simplest is to greedily generate the tokens
when we generate SPIR-V.

I'm planning to remove StringRef::equals in favor of
StringRef::operator==.
- StringRef::operator==/!= outnumber StringRef::equals by a factor of
24 under clang/ in terms of their usage.
- The elimination of StringRef::equals brings StringRef closer to
std::string_view, which has operator== but not equals.
- S == "foo" is more readable than S.equals("foo"), especially for
!Long.Expression.equals("str") vs Long.Expression != "str".
For arch64 features, such as Branch Target Identification or MTE (Memory
Tagging Extension), compatible with targets that lack their support we
may encounter scenarios where a binary compiled with MTE for example is
executed on both MTE and non-MTE hardware and we still need to detect at
runtime whether the MTE feature is available to choose the appropriate
function version.
So, we cannot optimize the function multi versioning resolver by
removing checks for these features enabled for the target during
compilation.

This is applied as a DR to C++11 (C++98 did not guarantee forward
progress and is left untouched)
As an extension (and to preserve existing behavior in C), we consider
all controlling expression that can be constant folded
in the front end, not just standard constant expressions.
Latest diff:

We address two additional bugs here:
### Problem 1: Deactivated normal cleanup still runs, leading to
double-free
Consider the following:
```cpp
struct A { };
struct B { B(const A&); };
struct S {
A a;
B b;
};
int AcceptS(S s);
void Accept2(int x, int y);
void Test() {
Accept2(AcceptS({.a = A{}, .b = A{}}), ({ return; 0; }));
}
```
We add cleanups as follows:
1. push dtor for field `S::a`
2. push dtor for temp `A{}` (used by ` B(const A&)` in `.b = A{}`)
3. push dtor for field `S::b`
4. Deactivate 3 `S::b`-> This pops the cleanup.
5. Deactivate 1 `S::a` -> Does not pop the cleanup as *2* is top. Should
create _active flag_!!
6. push dtor for `~S()`.
7. ...
It is important to deactivate **5** using active flags. Without the
active flags, the `return` will fallthrough it and would run both `~S()`
and dtor `S::a` leading to **double free** of `~A()`.
In this patch, we unconditionally emit active flags while deactivating
normal cleanups. These flags are deleted later by the `AllocaTracker` if
the cleanup is not emitted.
### Problem 2: Missing cleanup for conditional lifetime extension
We push 2 cleanups for lifetime-extended cleanup. The first cleanup is
useful if we exit from the middle of the expression (stmt-expr/coro
suspensions). This is deactivated after full-expr, and a new cleanup is
pushed, extending the lifetime of the temporaries (to the scope of the
reference being initialized).
If this lifetime extension happens to be conditional, then we use active
flags to remember whether the branch was taken and if the object was
initialized.
Previously, we used a **single** active flag, which was used by both
cleanups. This is wrong because the first cleanup will be forced to
deactivate after the full-expr and therefore this **active** flag will
always be **inactive**. The dtor for the lifetime extended entity would
not run as it always sees an **inactive** flag.
In this patch, we solve this using two separate active flags for both
cleanups. Both of them are activated if the conditional branch is taken,
but only one of them is deactivated after the full-expr.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63818 for control flow
out of an expressions.
#### Background
A control flow could happen in the middle of an expression due to
stmt-expr and coroutine suspensions.
Due to branch-in-expr, we missed running cleanups for the temporaries
constructed in the expression before the branch.
Previously, these cleanups were only added as `EHCleanup` during the
expression and as normal expression after the full expression.
Examples of such deferred cleanups include:
`ParenList/InitList`: Cleanups for fields are performed by the
destructor of the object being constructed.
`Array init`: Cleanup for elements of an array is included in the array
cleanup.
`Lifetime-extended temporaries`: reference-binding temporaries in
braced-init are lifetime extended to the parent scope.
`Lambda capture init`: init in the lambda capture list is destroyed by
the lambda object.
---
#### In this PR
In this PR, we change some of the `EHCleanups` cleanups to
`NormalAndEHCleanups` to make sure these are emitted when we see a
branch inside an expression (through statement expressions or coroutine
suspensions).
These are supposed to be deactivated after full expression and destroyed
later as part of the destructor of the aggregate or array being
constructed. To simplify deactivating cleanups, we add two utilities as
well:
* `DeferredDeactivationCleanupStack`: A stack to remember cleanups with
deferred deactivation.
* `CleanupDeactivationScope`: RAII for deactivating cleanups added to
the above stack.
---
#### Deactivating normal cleanups
These were previously `EHCleanups` and not `Normal` and **deactivation**
of **required** `Normal` cleanups had some bugs. These specifically
include deactivating `Normal` cleanups which are not the top of
`EHStack`
[source1](92b56011e6/clang/lib/CodeGen/CGCleanup.cpp (L1319)),
[2](92b56011e6/clang/lib/CodeGen/CGCleanup.cpp (L722-L746)).
This has not been part of our test suite (maybe it was never required
before statement expressions). In this PR, we also fix the emission of
required-deactivated-normal cleanups.
HLSL constant sized array function parameters do not decay to pointers.
Instead constant sized array types are preserved as unique types for
overload resolution, template instantiation and name mangling.
This implements the change by adding a new `ArrayParameterType` which
represents a non-decaying `ConstantArrayType`. The new type behaves the
same as `ConstantArrayType` except that it does not decay to a pointer.
Values of `ConstantArrayType` in HLSL decay during overload resolution
via a new `HLSLArrayRValue` cast to `ArrayParameterType`.
`ArrayParamterType` values are passed indirectly by-value to functions
in IR generation resulting in callee generated memcpy instructions.
The behavior of HLSL function calls is documented in the [draft language
specification](https://microsoft.github.io/hlsl-specs/specs/hlsl.pdf)
under the Expr.Post.Call heading.
Additionally the design of this implementation approach is documented in
[Clang's
documentation](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/HLSL/FunctionCalls.html)
Resolves#70123
This reverts commit ca4c4a6758d184f209cb5d88ef42ecc011b11642.
This was intended not to introduce new consistency diagnostics for
smart pointer types, but failed to ignore sugar around types when
detecting this.
Fixed and test added.
To authenticate pointers, CodeGen needs access to the key and
discriminators that were used to sign the pointer. That information is
sometimes known from the context, but not always, which is why `Address`
needs to hold that information.
This patch adds methods and data members to `Address`, which will be
needed in subsequent patches to authenticate signed pointers, and uses
the newly added methods throughout CodeGen. Although this patch isn't
strictly NFC as it causes CodeGen to use different code paths in some
cases (e.g., `mergeAddressesInConditionalExpr`), it doesn't cause any
changes in functionality as it doesn't add any information needed for
authentication.
In addition to the changes mentioned above, this patch introduces class
`RawAddress`, which contains a pointer that we know is unsigned, and
adds several new functions for creating `Address` and `LValue` objects.
This reapplies d9a685a9dd589486e882b722e513ee7b8c84870c, which was
reverted because it broke ubsan bots. There seems to be a bug in
coroutine code-gen, which is causing EmitTypeCheck to use the wrong
alignment. For now, pass alignment zero to EmitTypeCheck so that it can
compute the correct alignment based on the passed type (see function
EmitCXXMemberOrOperatorMemberCallExpr).

In PR #79382, I need to add a new type that derives from
ConstantArrayType. This means that ConstantArrayType can no longer use
`llvm::TrailingObjects` to store the trailing optional Expr*.
This change refactors ConstantArrayType to store a 60-bit integer and
4-bits for the integer size in bytes. This replaces the APInt field
previously in the type but preserves enough information to recreate it
where needed.
To reduce the number of places where the APInt is re-constructed I've
also added some helper methods to the ConstantArrayType to allow some
common use cases that operate on either the stored small integer or the
APInt as appropriate.

In `-fbounds-safety`, bounds annotations are considered type attributes
rather than declaration attributes. Constructing them as type attributes
allows us to extend the attribute to apply nested pointers, which is
essential to annotate functions that involve out parameters: `void
foo(int *__counted_by(*out_count) *out_buf, int *out_count)`.
We introduce a new sugar type to support bounds annotated types,
`CountAttributedType`. In order to maintain extra data (the bounds
expression and the dependent declaration information) that is not
trackable in `AttributedType` we create a new type dedicate to this
functionality.
This patch also extends the parsing logic to parse the `counted_by`
argument as an expression, which will allow us to extend the model to
support arguments beyond an identifier, e.g., `__counted_by(n + m)` in
the future as specified by `-fbounds-safety`.
This also adjusts `__bdos` and array-bounds sanitizer code that already
uses `CountedByAttr` to check `CountAttributedType` instead to get the
field referred to by the attribute.
This is re-working of #74460, which adds a soft-float ABI for AArch64.
That was reverted because it causes errors when building the linux and
fuchsia kernels.
The problem is that GCC's implementation of the ABI compatibility checks
when using the hard-float ABI on a target without FP registers does it's
checks after optimisation. The previous version of this patch reported
errors for all uses of floating-point types, which is stricter than what
GCC does in practice.
This changes two things compared to the first version:
* Only check the types of function arguments and returns, not the types
of other values. This is more relaxed than GCC, while still guaranteeing
ABI compatibility.
* Move the check from Sema to CodeGen, so that inline functions are only
checked if they are actually used. There are some cases in the linux
kernel which depend on this behaviour of GCC.
This reverts commit 92a09c0165b87032e1bd05020a78ed845cf35661.
This is triggering a bunch of new -Wnullability-completeness warnings
in code with existing raw pointer nullability annotations.
The intent was the new nullability locations wouldn't affect those
warnings, so this is a bug at least for now.
This enables clang and external nullability checkers to make use of
these annotations on nullable C++ class types like unique_ptr.
These types are recognized by the presence of the _Nullable attribute.
Nullable standard library types implicitly receive this attribute.
Existing static warnings for raw pointers are extended to smart
pointers:
- nullptr used as return value or argument for non-null functions
(`-Wnonnull`)
- assigning or initializing nonnull variables with nullable values
(`-Wnullable-to-nonnull-conversion`)
It doesn't implicitly add these attributes based on the assume_nonnull
pragma, nor warn on missing attributes where the pragma would apply
them.
I'm not confident that the pragma's current behavior will work well for
C++ (where type-based metaprogramming is much more common than C/ObjC).
We'd like to revisit this once we have more implementation experience.
Support can be detected as `__has_feature(nullability_on_classes)`.
This is needed for back-compatibility, as previously clang would issue a
hard error when _Nullable appears on a smart pointer.
UBSan's `-fsanitize=nullability` will not check smart-pointer types.
It can be made to do so by synthesizing calls to `operator bool`, but
that's left for future work.

This patch inserts 1-byte counters instead of an 8-byte counters into
llvm profiles for source-based code coverage. The origial idea was
proposed as block-cov for PGO, and this patch repurposes that idea for
coverage: https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/r03Z6JoN7d4
The current 8-byte counters mechanism add counters to minimal regions,
and infer the counters in the remaining regions via adding or
subtracting counters. For example, it infers the counter in the if.else
region by subtracting the counters between if.entry and if.then regions
in an if statement. Whenever there is a control-flow merge, it adds the
counters from all the incoming regions. However, we are not going to be
able to infer counters by subtracting two execution counts when using
single-byte counters. Therefore, this patch conservatively inserts
additional counters for the cases where we need to add or subtract
counters.
