Since 26c6a3e736, LLVM's inliner will "upgrade" the caller's stack protector
attribute based on the callee. This lead to surprising results with Clang's
no_stack_protector attribute added in 4fbf84c173 (D46300). Consider the
following code compiled with clang -fstack-protector-strong -Os
(https://godbolt.org/z/7s3rW7a1q).
extern void h(int* p);
inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int g() {
return 0;
}
int __attribute__((__no_stack_protector__)) f() {
int a[1];
h(a);
return g();
}
LLVM will inline g() into f(), and f() would get a stack protector, against the
users explicit wishes, potentially breaking the program e.g. if h() changes the
value of the stack cookie. That's a miscompile.
More recently, bc044a88ee (D91816) addressed this problem by preventing
inlining when the stack protector is disabled in the caller and enabled in the
callee or vice versa. However, the problem remained if the callee is marked
always_inline as in the example above. This affected users, see e.g.
http://crbug.com/1274129 and http://llvm.org/pr52886.
One way to fix this would be to prevent inlining also in the always_inline
case. Despite the name, always_inline does not guarantee inlining, so this
would be legal but potentially surprising to users.
However, I think the better fix is to not enable the stack protector in a
caller based on the callee. The motivation for the old behaviour is unclear, it
seems counter-intuitive, and causes real problems as we've seen.
This commit implements that fix, which means in the example above, g() gets
inlined into f() (also without always_inline), and f() is emitted without stack
protector. I think that matches most developers' expectations, and that's also
what GCC does.
Another effect of this change is that a no_stack_protector function can now be
inlined into a stack protected function, e.g. (https://godbolt.org/z/hafP6W856):
extern void h(int* p);
inline int __attribute__((__no_stack_protector__)) __attribute__((always_inline)) g() {
return 0;
}
int f() {
int a[1];
h(a);
return g();
}
I think that's fine. Such code would be unusual since no_stack_protector is
normally applied to a program entry point which sets up the stack canary. And
even if such code exists, inlining doesn't change the semantics: there is still
no stack cookie setup/check around entry/exit of the g() code region, but there
may be in the surrounding context, as there was before inlining. This also
matches GCC.

I've changed the definition of the experimental.vector.splice
instrinsic to reject indices that are known to be or possibly
out-of-bounds. In practice, this means changing the definition so that
the index is now only valid in the range [-VL, VL-1] where VL is the
known minimum vector length. We use the vscale_range attribute to
take the minimum vscale value into account so that we can permit
more indices when the attribute is present.
The splice intrinsic is currently only ever generated by the vectoriser,
which will never attempt to splice vectors with out-of-bounds values.
Changing the definition also makes things simpler for codegen since we
can always assume that the index is valid.

Indirect inline asm operands may require the materialization of a
memory access according to the pointer element type. As this will
no longer be available with opaque pointers, we require it to be
explicitly annotated using the elementtype attribute, for example:
define void @test(i32* %p, i32 %x) {
call void asm "addl $1, $0", "=*rm,r"(i32* elementtype(i32) %p, i32 %x)
ret void
}
This patch only includes the LangRef change and Verifier updates to
allow adding the elementtype attribute in this position. It does not
yet enforce this, as this will require changes on the clang side
(and test updates) first.
Something I'm a bit unsure about is whether we really need the
elementtype for all indirect constraints, rather than only indirect
register constraints. I think indirect memory constraints might not
strictly need it (though the backend code is written in a way that
does require it). I think it's okay to just make this a general
requirement though, as this means we don't need to carefully deal
with multiple or alternative constraints. In addition, I believe
that MemorySanitizer benefits from having the element type even in
cases where it may not be strictly necessary for normal lowering
(cd2b050fa4/llvm/lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/MemorySanitizer.cpp (L4066)).

With Control-Flow Integrity (CFI), the LowerTypeTests pass replaces

for low-level code that needs the address of the actual function body.
For example, in the Linux kernel, the code that sets up interrupt
handlers needs to take the address of the interrupt handler function
instead of the CFI jump table, as the jump table may not even be mapped
into memory when an interrupt is triggered.

This defines the new `@llvm.ptrauth.` pointer authentication intrinsics:
sign, auth, strip, blend, and sign_generic, documented in PointerAuth.md.
Pointer Authentication is a mechanism by which certain pointers are
signed. When a pointer gets signed, a cryptographic hash of its value
and other values (pepper and salt) is stored in unused bits of that
pointer.
Before the pointer is used, it needs to be authenticated, i.e., have its
signature checked. This prevents pointer values of unknown origin from
being used to replace the signed pointer value.
sign and auth provide the core operations. strip removes the ptrauth
bits from a signed pointer without checking them. sign_generic allows
signing non-pointer values. Finally, blend combines salt values
("discriminators") to derive more targeted and less reusable ones.
In later patches, we implement primary backend support for these
intrinsics using the AArch64 PAuth feature, and build on that to
implement the arm64e Darwin ABI and ELF PAuth ABI Extension in clang.

Add UNIQUED and DISTINCT properties in Metadata.def and use them to
implement restrictions on the `distinct` property of MDNodes:
* DIExpression can currently be parsed from IR or read from bitcode
as `distinct`, but this property is silently dropped when printing
to IR. This causes accepted IR to fail to round-trip. As DIExpression
appears inline at each use in the canonical form of IR, it cannot
actually be `distinct` anyway, as there is no syntax to describe it.
* Similarly, DIArgList is conceptually always uniqued. It is currently
restricted to only appearing in contexts where there is no syntax for
`distinct`, but for consistency it is treated equivalently to
DIExpression in this patch.
* DICompileUnit is already restricted to always being `distinct`, but
along with adding general support for the inverse restriction I went
ahead and described this in Metadata.def and updated the parser to be
general. Future nodes which have this restriction can share this
support.
The new UNIQUED property applies to DIExpression and DIArgList, and
forbids them to be `distinct`. It also implies they are canonically
printed inline at each use, rather than via MDNode ID.
The new DISTINCT property applies to DICompileUnit, and requires it to
be `distinct`.
A potential alternative change is to forbid the non-inline syntax for
DIExpression entirely, as is done with DIArgList implicitly by requiring
it appear in the context of a function. For example, we would forbid:
!named = !{!0}
!0 = !DIExpression()
Instead we would only accept the equivalent inlined version:
!named = !{!DIExpression()}
This essentially removes the ability to create a `distinct` DIExpression
by construction, as there is no syntax for `distinct` inline. If this
patch is accepted as-is, the result would be that the non-canonical
version is accepted, but the following would be an error and produce a diagnostic:
!named = !{!0}
; error: 'distinct' not allowed for !DIExpression()
!0 = distinct !DIExpression()
Also update some documentation to consistently use the inline syntax for
DIExpression, and to describe the restrictions on `distinct` for nodes
where applicable.

Add support for the GNU C style __attribute__((error(""))) and
__attribute__((warning(""))). These attributes are meant to be put on
declarations of functions whom should not be called.
They are frequently used to provide compile time diagnostics similar to
_Static_assert, but which may rely on non-ICE conditions (ie. relying on
compiler optimizations). This is also similar to diagnose_if function
attribute, but can diagnose after optimizations have been run.
While users may instead simply call undefined functions in such cases to
get a linkage failure from the linker, these provide a much more
ergonomic and actionable diagnostic to users and do so at compile time
rather than at link time. Users instead may be able use inline asm .err
directives.
These are used throughout the Linux kernel in its implementation of
BUILD_BUG and BUILD_BUG_ON macros. These macros generally cannot be
converted to use _Static_assert because many of the parameters are not
ICEs. The Linux kernel still needs to be modified to make use of these
when building with Clang; I have a patch that does so I will send once
this feature is landed.
To do so, we create a new IR level Function attribute, "dontcall" (both
error and warning boil down to one IR Fn Attr). Then, similar to calls
to inline asm, we attach a !srcloc Metadata node to call sites of such
attributed callees.
The backend diagnoses these during instruction selection, while we still
know that a call is a call (vs say a JMP that's a tail call) in an arch
agnostic manner.
The frontend then reconstructs the SourceLocation from that Metadata,
and determines whether to emit an error or warning based on the callee's
attribute.

but not Instruction). The original commit message is duplicated below:
Clang has builtin function '__builtin_isnan', which implements C
library function 'isnan'. This function now is implemented entirely in
clang codegen, which expands the function into set of IR operations.
There are three mechanisms by which the expansion can be made.
* The most common mechanism is using an unordered comparison made by
instruction 'fcmp uno'. This simple solution is target-independent
and works well in most cases. It however is not suitable if floating
point exceptions are tracked. Corresponding IEEE 754 operation and C
function must never raise FP exception, even if the argument is a
signaling NaN. Compare instructions usually does not have such
property, they raise 'invalid' exception in such case. So this
mechanism is unsuitable when exception behavior is strict. In
particular it could result in unexpected trapping if argument is SNaN.
* Another solution was implemented in https://reviews.llvm.org/D95948.
It is used in the cases when raising FP exceptions by 'isnan' is not
allowed. This solution implements 'isnan' using integer operations.
It solves the problem of exceptions, but offers one solution for all
targets, however some can do the check in more efficient way.
* Solution implemented by https://reviews.llvm.org/D96568 introduced a
hook 'clang::TargetCodeGenInfo::testFPKind', which injects target
specific code into IR. Now only SystemZ implements this hook and it
generates a call to target specific intrinsic function.
Although these mechanisms allow to implement 'isnan' with enough
efficiency, expanding 'isnan' in clang has drawbacks:
* The operation 'isnan' is hidden behind generic integer operations or
target-specific intrinsics. It complicates analysis and can prevent
some optimizations.
* IR can be created by tools other than clang, in this case treatment
of 'isnan' has to be duplicated in that tool.
Another issue with the current implementation of 'isnan' comes from the
use of options '-ffast-math' or '-fno-honor-nans'. If such option is
specified, 'fcmp uno' may be optimized to 'false'. It is valid
optimization in general, but it results in 'isnan' always returning
'false'. For example, in some libc++ implementations the following code
returns 'false':
std::isnan(std::numeric_limits<float>::quiet_NaN())
The options '-ffast-math' and '-fno-honor-nans' imply that FP operation
operands are never NaNs. This assumption however should not be applied
to the functions that check FP number properties, including 'isnan'. If
such function returns expected result instead of actually making
checks, it becomes useless in many cases. The option '-ffast-math' is
often used for performance critical code, as it can speed up execution
by the expense of manual treatment of corner cases. If 'isnan' returns
assumed result, a user cannot use it in the manual treatment of NaNs
and has to invent replacements, like making the check using integer
operations. There is a discussion in https://reviews.llvm.org/D18513#387418,
which also expresses the opinion, that limitations imposed by
'-ffast-math' should be applied only to 'math' functions but not to
'tests'.
To overcome these drawbacks, this change introduces a new IR intrinsic
function 'llvm.isnan', which realizes the check as specified by IEEE-754
and C standards in target-agnostic way. During IR transformations it
does not undergo undesirable optimizations. It reaches instruction
selection, where is lowered in target-dependent way. The lowering can
vary depending on options like '-ffast-math' or '-ffp-model' so the
resulting code satisfies requested semantics.
