This has come up a few times recently, and I was surprised to notice that we don't have anything in the docs.
This patch deliberately sticks to stuff that is uncontroversial in the community. Everything herein is thought to be widely agreed to by a large majority of the community. A few things were noted and removed in review which failed this standard, if you spot anything else, please point it out.

This is a followup to D98145: As far as I know, tracking of kill
flags in FastISel is just a compile-time optimization. However,
I'm not actually seeing any compile-time regression when removing
the tracking. This probably used to be more important in the past,
before FastRA was switched to allocate instructions in reverse
order, which means that it discovers kills as a matter of course.
As such, the kill tracking doesn't really seem to serve a purpose
anymore, and just adds additional complexity and potential for
errors. This patch removes it entirely. The primary changes are
dropping the hasTrivialKill() method and removing the kill
arguments from the emitFast methods. The rest is mechanical fixup.

RVV intrinsics has new overloading rule, please see
82aac7dad4
Changed:
1. Rename `generic` to `overloaded` because the new rule is not using C11 generic.
2. Change HasGeneric to HasNoMaskedOverloaded because all masked operations
support overloading api.
3. Add more overloaded tests due to overloading rule changed.

I think byval/sret and the others are close to being able to rip out
the code to support the missing type case. A lot of this code is
shared with inalloca, so catch this up to the others so that can
happen.
This adds me as a Google representative for the LLVM security group.
This was proposed, discussed, and voted on in the differential revision

In order to test the preservation of the original Debug Info metadata
in your projects, a front end option could be very useful, since users
usually report that a concrete entity (e.g. variable x, or function fn2())
is missing debug info. The [0] is an example of running the utility
on GDB Project.
This depends on: D82546 and D82545.

The option `--prefix-strip` is only used when `--prefix` is not empty.
It removes N initial directories from absolute paths before adding the
prefix.
This matches GNU's objdump behavior.

This patch adds a new llvm.experimental.stepvector intrinsic,
which takes no arguments and returns a linear integer sequence of
values of the form <0, 1, ...>. It is primarily intended for
scalable vectors, although it will work for fixed width vectors
too. It is intended that later patches will make use of this
new intrinsic when vectorising induction variables, currently only
supported for fixed width. I've added a new CreateStepVector
method to the IRBuilder, which will generate a call to this
intrinsic for scalable vectors and fall back on creating a
ConstantVector for fixed width.
For scalable vectors this intrinsic is lowered to a new ISD node
called STEP_VECTOR, which takes a single constant integer argument
as the step. During lowering this argument is set to a value of 1.
The reason for this additional argument at the codegen level is
because in future patches we will introduce various generic DAG
combines such as
mul step_vector(1), 2 -> step_vector(2)
add step_vector(1), step_vector(1) -> step_vector(2)
shl step_vector(1), 1 -> step_vector(2)
etc.
that encourage a canonical format for all targets. This hopefully
means all other targets supporting scalable vectors can benefit
from this too.
I've added cost model tests for both fixed width and scalable
vectors:
llvm/test/Analysis/CostModel/AArch64/neon-stepvector.ll
llvm/test/Analysis/CostModel/AArch64/sve-stepvector.ll
as well as codegen lowering tests for fixed width and scalable
vectors:
llvm/test/CodeGen/AArch64/neon-stepvector.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/AArch64/sve-stepvector.ll

This attribute represents the minimum and maximum values vscale can
take. For now this attribute is not hooked up to anything during
codegen, this will be added in the future when such codegen is
considered stable.
Additionally hook up the -msve-vector-bits=<x> clang option to emit this
attribute.

There is a bunch of similar bitfield extraction code throughout *ISelDAGToDAG.
E.g, ARMISelDAGToDAG, AArch64ISelDAGToDAG, and AMDGPUISelDAGToDAG all contain
code that matches a bitfield extract from an and + right shift.
Rather than duplicating code in the same way, this adds two opcodes:
- G_UBFX (unsigned bitfield extract)
- G_SBFX (signed bitfield extract)
They work like this
```
%x = G_UBFX %y, %lsb, %width
```
Where `lsb` and `width` are
- The least-significant bit of the extraction
- The width of the extraction
This will extract `width` bits from `%y`, starting at `lsb`. G_UBFX zero-extends
the result, while G_SBFX sign-extends the result.
This should allow us to use the combiner to match the bitfield extraction
patterns rather than duplicating pattern-matching code in each target.

There are a couple of caveats when it comes to how vectors are
stored to memory, and thereby also how bitcast between vector
and integer types work, in LLVM IR. Specially in relation to
endianess. This patch is an attempt to document such things.

This requires changes to TableGen files and some C++ files due to
incompatible multiclass template arguments that slipped through
before the improved handling.
This patch adds support for intrinsic overloading on unnamed types.
This fixes PR38117 and PR48340 and will also be needed for the Full Restrict Patches (D68484).
The main problem is that the intrinsic overloading name mangling is using 's_s' for unnamed types.
This can result in identical intrinsic mangled names for different function prototypes.
This patch changes this by adding a '.XXXXX' to the intrinsic mangled name when at least one of the types is based on an unnamed type, ensuring that we get a unique name.
Implementation details:
- The mapping is created on demand and kept in Module.
- It also checks for existing clashes and recycles potentially existing prototypes and declarations.
- Because of extra data in Module, Intrinsic::getName needs an extra Module* argument and, for speed, an optional FunctionType* argument.
- I still kept the original two-argument 'Intrinsic::getName' around which keeps the original behavior (providing the base name).
-- Main reason is that I did not want to change the LLVMIntrinsicGetName version, as I don't know how acceptable such a change is
-- The current situation already has a limitation. So that should not get worse with this patch.
- Intrinsic::getDeclaration and the verifier are now using the new version.
Other notes:
- As far as I see, this should not suffer from stability issues. The count is only added for prototypes depending on at least one anonymous struct
- The initial count starts from 0 for each intrinsic mangled name.
- In case of name clashes, existing prototypes are remembered and reused when that makes sense.

This documents current regular LLVM sync-ups that are happening in the
Getting Involved section.
I hope this gives a bit more visibility to regular sync-ups that are
happening in the LLVM community, documenting another way communication
in the community happens.
Of course the downside is that this is another location that sync-up
metadata needs to be maintained. That being said, the structure as
proposed means that no changes are needed once a new sync-up is added,
apart from maybe removing the entry once it becomes clear that that
particular sync-up series is completely cancelled.
Documenting a few pointers on how current sync-ups happen may also
encourage others to organize useful sync-ups on specific topics.
I've started with adding the sync-ups I'm aware of. There's a good
chance I've missed some.
If most sync-ups end up having a public google calendar, we could also
create and maintain a public google calendar that shows all events
happening in the LLVM community, including dev meetings, sync-ups,
socials, etc - assuming that would be valuable.

Lit as it exists today has three hacks that allow users to run tests earlier:
1) An entire test suite can set the `is_early` boolean.
2) A very recently introduced "early_tests" feature.
3) The `--incremental` flag forces failing tests to run first.
All of these approaches have problems.
1) The `is_early` feature was until very recently undocumented. Nevertheless it still lacks testing and is a imprecise way of optimizing test starting times.
2) The `early_tests` feature requires manual updates and doesn't scale.
3) `--incremental` is undocumented, untested, and it requires modifying the *source* file system by "touching" the file. This "touch" based approach is arguably a hack because it confuses editors (because it looks like the test was modified behind the back of the editor) and "touching" the test source file doesn't work if the test suite is read only from the perspective of `lit` (via advanced filesystem/build tricks).
This patch attempts to simplify and address all of the above problems.
This patch formalizes, documents, tests, and defaults lit to recording the execution time of tests and then reordering all tests during the next execution. By reordering the tests, high core count machines run faster, sometimes significantly so.
This patch also always runs failing tests first, which is a positive user experience win for those that didn't know about the hidden `--incremental` flag.
Finally, if users want, they can _optionally_ commit the test timing data (or a subset thereof) back to the repository to accelerate bots and first-time runs of the test suite.
