As discussed in [0], this diff adds the `skipprofile` attribute to
prevent the function from being profiled while allowing profiled
functions to be inlined into it. The `noprofile` attribute remains
unchanged.
The `noprofile` attribute is used for functions where it is
dangerous to add instrumentation to while the `skipprofile` attribute is
used to reduce code size or performance overhead.

This belongs to a series of patches which try to solve the thread
identification problem in coroutines. See
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/address-thread-identification-problems-with-coroutine/62015
for a full background.
The problem consists of two concrete problems: TLS variable and readnone
functions. This patch tries to convert the TLS problem to readnone
problem by converting the access of TLS variable to an intrinsic which
is marked as readnone.
The readnone problem would be addressed in following patches.

D123493 introduced llvm::Module::Min to encode module flags metadata for AArch64
BTI/PAC-RET. llvm::Module::Min does not take effect when the flag is absent in
one module. This behavior is misleading and does not address backward
compatibility problems (when a bitcode with "branch-target-enforcement"==1 and
another without the flag are merged, the merge result is 1 instead of 0).
To address the problems, require Min flags to be non-negative and treat absence
as having a value of zero. For an old bitcode without
"branch-target-enforcement"/"sign-return-address", its value is as if 0.

Following some recent discussions, this changes the representation
of callbrs in IR. The current blockaddress arguments are replaced
with `!` label constraints that refer directly to callbr indirect
destinations:
; Before:
%res = callbr i8* asm "", "=r,r,i"(i8* %x, i8* blockaddress(@test8, %foo))
to label %asm.fallthrough [label %foo]
; After:
%res = callbr i8* asm "", "=r,r,!i"(i8* %x)
to label %asm.fallthrough [label %foo]
The benefit of this is that we can easily update the successors of
a callbr, without having to worry about also updating blockaddress
references. This should allow us to remove some limitations:
* Allow unrolling/peeling/rotation of callbr, or any other
clone-based optimizations
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/41834)
* Allow duplicate successors
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/45248)
This is just the IR representation change though, I will follow up
with patches to remove limtations in various transformation passes
that are no longer needed.

Currently we use the `embedBufferInModule` function to store binary
strings containing device offloading data inside the host object to
create a fatbinary. In the case of LTO, we need to extract this object
from the LLVM-IR. This patch adds a metadata node for the embedded
objects containing the embedded pointers and the sections they were
stored at. This should create a cleaner interface for identifying these
values.
In the future it may be worthwhile to also encode an `ID` in the
metadata corresponding to the object's special section type if relevant.
This would allow us to extract the data from an object file and LLVM-IR
using the same ID.

X86 codegen uses function attribute `min-legal-vector-width` to select the proper ABI. The intention of the attribute is to reflect user's requirement when they passing or returning vector arguments. So Clang front-end will iterate the vector arguments and set `min-legal-vector-width` to the width of the maximum for both caller and callee.
It is assumed any middle end optimizations won't care of the attribute expect inlining and argument promotion.
- For inlining, we will propagate the attribute of inlined functions because the inlining functions become the newer caller.
- For argument promotion, we check the `min-legal-vector-width` of the caller and callee and refuse to promote when they don't match.
The problem comes from the optimizations' combination, as shown by https://godbolt.org/z/zo3hba8xW. The caller `foo` has two callees `bar` and `baz`. When doing argument promotion, both `foo` and `bar` has the same `min-legal-vector-width`. So the argument was promoted to vector. Then the inlining inlines `baz` to `foo` and updates `min-legal-vector-width`, which results in ABI mismatch between `foo` and `bar`.
This patch fixes the problem by expanding the concept of `min-legal-vector-width` to indicator of functions arguments. That says, any passes touch functions arguments have to set `min-legal-vector-width` to the value reflects the width of vector arguments. It makes sense to me because any arguments modifications are ABI related and should response for the ABI compatibility.

For the AIX linker, under default options, global or weak symbols which
have no visibility bits set to zero (i.e. no visibility, similar to ELF
default) are only exported if specified on an export list provided to
the linker. So AIX has an additional visibility style called
"exported" which indicates to the linker that the symbol should
be explicitly globally exported.
This change maps "dllexport" in the LLVM IR to correspond to XCOFF
exported as we feel this best models the intended semantic (discussion
on the discourse RFC thread: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-adding-exported-visibility-style-to-the-ir-to-model-xcoff-exported-visibility/61853)
and allows us to enable writing this visibility for the AIX target
in the assembly path.

This change introduces a new intrinsic, `llvm.is.fpclass`, which checks
if the provided floating-point number belongs to any of the the specified
value classes. The intrinsic implements the checks made by C standard
library functions `isnan`, `isinf`, `isfinite`, `isnormal`, `issubnormal`,
`issignaling` and corresponding IEEE-754 operations.
The primary motivation for this intrinsic is the support of strict FP
mode. In this mode using compare instructions or other FP operations is
not possible, because if the value is a signaling NaN, floating-point
exception `Invalid` is raised, but the aforementioned functions must
never raise exceptions.
Currently there are two solutions for this problem, both are
implemented partially. One of them is using integer operations to
implement the check. It was implemented in https://reviews.llvm.org/D95948
for `isnan`. It solves the problem of exceptions, but offers one
solution for all targets, although some can do the check in more
efficient way.
The other, implemented in https://reviews.llvm.org/D96568, introduced a
hook 'clang::TargetCodeGenInfo::testFPKind', which injects a target
specific code into IR to implement `isnan` and some other functions. It is
convenient for targets that have dedicated instruction to determine FP data
class. However using target-specific intrinsic complicates analysis and can
prevent some optimizations.
A special intrinsic for value class checks allows representing data class
tests with enough flexibility. During IR transformations it represents the
check in target-independent way and saves it from undesired transformations.
In the instruction selector it allows efficient lowering depending on the
used target and mode.
This implementation is an extended variant of `llvm.isnan` introduced
in https://reviews.llvm.org/D104854. It is limited to minimal intrinsic
support. Target-specific treatment will be implemented in separate
patches.
