The existing Windows Itanium patches for dllimport/export

This commit adds our PS4 scheme for this to Clang.

This removes some (but not all) uses of type-less CreateGEP()
and CreateInBoundsGEP() APIs, which are incompatible with opaque
pointers.
There are a still a number of tricky uses left, as well as many
more variation APIs for CreateGEP.
These are incompatible with opaque pointers. This is in preparation
of dropping this API on the IRBuilder side as well.
Instead explicitly pass the loaded type.
Background:
Wasm EH, while using Windows EH (catchpad/cleanuppad based) IR, uses
Itanium-based libraries and ABIs with some modifications.
`__clang_call_terminate` is a wrapper generated in Clang's Itanium C++
ABI implementation. It contains this code, in C-style pseudocode:
```
void __clang_call_terminate(void *exn) {
__cxa_begin_catch(exn);
std::terminate();
}
```
So this function is a wrapper to call `__cxa_begin_catch` on the
exception pointer before termination.
In Itanium ABI, this function is called when another exception is thrown
while processing an exception. The pointer for this second, violating
exception is passed as the argument of this `__clang_call_terminate`,
which calls `__cxa_begin_catch` with that pointer and calls
`std::terminate` to terminate the program.
The spec (https://libcxxabi.llvm.org/spec.html) for `__cxa_begin_catch`
says,
```
When the personality routine encounters a termination condition, it
will call __cxa_begin_catch() to mark the exception as handled and then
call terminate(), which shall not return to its caller.
```
In wasm EH's Clang implementation, this function is called from
cleanuppads that terminates the program, which we also call terminate
pads. Cleanuppads normally don't access the thrown exception and the
wasm backend converts them to `catch_all` blocks. But because we need
the exception pointer in this cleanuppad, we generate
`wasm.get.exception` intrinsic (which will eventually be lowered to
`catch` instruction) as we do in the catchpads. But because terminate
pads are cleanup pads and should run even when a foreign exception is
thrown, so what we have been doing is:
1. In `WebAssemblyLateEHPrepare::ensureSingleBBTermPads()`, we make sure
terminate pads are in this simple shape:
```
%exn = catch
call @__clang_call_terminate(%exn)
unreachable
```
2. In `WebAssemblyHandleEHTerminatePads` pass at the end of the
pipeline, we attach a `catch_all` to terminate pads, so they will be in
this form:
```
%exn = catch
call @__clang_call_terminate(%exn)
unreachable
catch_all
call @std::terminate()
unreachable
```
In `catch_all` part, we don't have the exception pointer, so we call
`std::terminate()` directly. The reason we ran HandleEHTerminatePads at
the end of the pipeline, separate from LateEHPrepare, was it was
convenient to assume there was only a single `catch` part per `try`
during CFGSort and CFGStackify.
---
Problem:
While it thinks terminate pads could have been possibly split or calls
to `__clang_call_terminate` could have been duplicated,
`WebAssemblyLateEHPrepare::ensureSingleBBTermPads()` assumes terminate
pads contain no more than calls to `__clang_call_terminate` and
`unreachable` instruction. I assumed that because in LLVM very limited
forms of transformations are done to catchpads and cleanuppads to
maintain the scoping structure. But it turned out to be incorrect;
passes can merge cleanuppads into one, including terminate pads, as long
as the new code has a correct scoping structure. One pass that does this
I observed was `SimplifyCFG`, but there can be more. After this
transformation, a single cleanuppad can contain any number of other
instructions with the call to `__clang_call_terminate` and can span many
BBs. It wouldn't be practical to duplicate all these BBs within the
cleanuppad to generate the equivalent `catch_all` blocks, only with
calls to `__clang_call_terminate` replaced by calls to `std::terminate`.
Unless we do more complicated transformation to split those calls to
`__clang_call_terminate` into a separate cleanuppad, it is tricky to
solve.
---
Solution (?):
This CL just disables the generation and use of `__clang_call_terminate`
and calls `std::terminate()` directly in its place.
The possible downside of this approach can be, because the Itanium ABI
intended to "mark" the violating exception handled, we don't do that
anymore. What `__cxa_begin_catch` actually does is increment the
exception's handler count and decrement the uncaught exception count,
which in my opinion do not matter much given that we are about to
terminate the program anyway. Also it does not affect info like stack
traces that can be possibly shown to developers.
And while we use a variant of Itanium EH ABI, we can make some
deviations if we choose to; we are already different in that in the
current version of the EH spec we don't support two-phase unwinding. We
can possibly consider a more complicated transformation later to
reenable this, but I don't think that has high priority.
Changes in this CL contains:
- In Clang, we don't generate a call to `wasm.get.exception()` intrinsic
and `__clang_call_terminate` function in terminate pads anymore; we
simply generate calls to `std::terminate()`, which is the default
implementation of `CGCXXABI::emitTerminateForUnexpectedException`.
- Remove `WebAssembly::ensureSingleBBTermPads() function and
`WebAssemblyHandleEHTerminatePads` pass, because terminate pads are
already `catch_all` now (because they don't need the exception
pointer) and we don't need these transformations anymore.
- Change tests to use `std::terminate` directly. Also removes tests that
tested `LateEHPrepare::ensureSingleBBTermPads` and
`HandleEHTerminatePads` pass.
- Drive-by fix: Add some function attributes to EH intrinsic
declarations

When WPD is enabled, via WholeProgramVTables, emit type metadata for
available_externally vtables. Additionally, add the vtables to the
llvm.compiler.used global so that they are not prematurely eliminated
(before *LTO analysis).
This is needed to avoid devirtualizing calls to a function overriding a
class defined in a header file but with a strong definition in a shared
library. Without type metadata on the available_externally vtables from
the header, the WPD analysis never sees what a derived class is
overriding. Even if the available_externally base class functions are
pure virtual, because shared library definitions are already treated
conservatively (committed patches D91583, D96721, and D96722) we will
not devirtualize, which would be unsafe since the library might contain
overrides that aren't visible to the LTO unit.
An example is std::error_category, which is overridden in LLVM
and causing failures after a self build with WPD enabled, because
libstdc++ contains hidden overrides of the virtual base class methods.

Add the types for the RISC-V V extension builtins.
These types will be used by the RISC-V V intrinsics which require
types of the form <vscale x 1 x i64>(LMUL=1 element size=64) or
<vscale x 4 x i32>(LMUL=2 element size=32), etc. The vector_size
attribute does not work for us as it doesn't create a scalable
vector type. We want these types to be opaque and have no operators
defined for them. We want them to be sizeless. This makes them
similar to the ARM SVE builtin types. But we will have quite a bit
more types. This patch adds around 60. Later patches will add
another 230 or so types representing tuples of these types similar

C++ ABIs through compile flags rather than build flags.
In this patch:
- Store `-fc++-abi=` in a LangOpt. This isn't stored in a
CodeGenOpt because there are instances outside of codegen where Clang
needs to know what the ABI is (particularly through
ASTContext::createCXXABI), and we should be able to override the
target default if the flag is provided at that point.
- Expose the existing ABIs in TargetCXXABI as values that can be passed
through this flag.
- Create a .def file for these ABIs to make it easier to check flag
values.
- Add an error for diagnosing bad ABI flag values.

On some targets, preferred alignment is larger than ABI alignment in some cases. For example,

However, that patch alone is not enough. There are places in the Clang where `PreferredAlignment`
should have been used instead of ABI-specified alignment. This patch is aimed at fixing those

Introduction/Motivation:
LLVM-IR supports integers of non-power-of-2 bitwidth, in the iN syntax.
Integers of non-power-of-two aren't particularly interesting or useful
on most hardware, so much so that no language in Clang has been
motivated to expose it before.
However, in the case of FPGA hardware normal integer types where the
full bitwidth isn't used, is extremely wasteful and has severe
performance/space concerns. Because of this, Intel has introduced this
functionality in the High Level Synthesis compiler[0]
under the name "Arbitrary Precision Integer" (ap_int for short). This
has been extremely useful and effective for our users, permitting them
to optimize their storage and operation space on an architecture where
both can be extremely expensive.
We are proposing upstreaming a more palatable version of this to the
community, in the form of this proposal and accompanying patch. We are
proposing the syntax _ExtInt(N). We intend to propose this to the WG14
committee[1], and the underscore-capital seems like the active direction
for a WG14 paper's acceptance. An alternative that Richard Smith
suggested on the initial review was __int(N), however we believe that
is much less acceptable by WG14. We considered _Int, however _Int is
used as an identifier in libstdc++ and there is no good way to fall
back to an identifier (since _Int(5) is indistinguishable from an
unnamed initializer of a template type named _Int).

Summary:
Third part in series to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization
Enablement, see RFC here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
This patch adds type test metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
even for classes without hidden visibility. It then changes WPD to skip
devirtualization for a virtual function call when any of the compatible
vtables has public vcall visibility.
Additionally, internal LLVM options as well as lld and gold-plugin
options are added which enable upgrading all public vcall visibility
to linkage unit (hidden) visibility during LTO. This enables the more
aggressive WPD to kick in based on LTO time knowledge of the visibility
guarantees.
Support was added to all flavors of LTO WPD (regular, hybrid and
index-only), and to both the new and old LTO APIs.
Unfortunately it was not simple to split the first and second parts of
this part of the change (the unconditional emission of type tests and
the upgrading of the vcall visiblity) as I needed a way to upgrade the
public visibility on legacy WPD llvm assembly tests that don't include
linkage unit vcall visibility specifiers, to avoid a lot of test churn.
I also added a mechanism to LowerTypeTests that allows dropping type
test assume sequences we now aggressively insert when we invoke
distributed ThinLTO backends with null indexes, which is used in testing
mode, and which doesn't invoke the normal ThinLTO backend pipeline.
Depends on D71907 and D71911.

Remove dead virtual functions from vtables with
replaceNonMetadataUsesWith, so that CGProfile metadata gets cleaned up
correctly.
Original commit message:
Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual
functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced
by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live
code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there
are no call sites which can use it.
This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and
regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match
virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This
information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead
of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately
determine which functions are reachable.
To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to
always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load
intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing
this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test
and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible
for optimisations to obscure the relationship between the GEP, load and
llvm.type.test, causing GlobalDCE to fail to find virtual function call
sites.
The existing linkage and visibility types don't accurately describe the scope
in which a virtual call could be made which uses a given vtable. This is
wider than the visibility of the type itself, because a virtual function call
could be made using a more-visible base class. I've added a new
!vcall_visibility metadata type to represent this, described in
TypeMetadata.rst. The internalization pass and libLTO have been updated to
change this metadata when linking is performed.
This doesn't currently work with ThinLTO, because it needs to see every call
to llvm.type.checked.load in the linkage unit. It might be possible to
extend this optimisation to be able to use the ThinLTO summary, as was done
for devirtualization, but until then that combination is rejected in the
clang driver.
To test this, I've written a fuzzer which generates random C++ programs with
complex class inheritance graphs, and virtual functions called through object
and function pointers of different types. The programs are spread across
multiple translation units and DSOs to test the different visibility
restrictions.
I've also tried doing bootstrap builds of LLVM to test this. This isn't
ideal, because only classes in anonymous namespaces can be optimised with
-fvisibility=default, and some parts of LLVM (plugins and bugpoint) do not
work correctly with -fvisibility=hidden. However, there are only 12 test
failures when building with -fvisibility=hidden (and an unmodified compiler),
and this change does not cause any new failures for either value of
-fvisibility.
On the 7 C++ sub-benchmarks of SPEC2006, this gives a geomean code-size
reduction of ~6%, over a baseline compiled with "-O2 -flto
-fvisibility=hidden -fwhole-program-vtables". The best cases are reductions
of ~14% in 450.soplex and 483.xalancbmk, and there are no code size
increases.
I've also run this on a set of 8 mbed-os examples compiled for Armv7M, which
show a geomean size reduction of ~3%, again with no size increases.
I had hoped that this would have no effect on performance, which would allow
it to awlays be enabled (when using -fwhole-program-vtables). However, the
changes in clang to use the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic are causing ~1%
performance regression in the C++ parts of SPEC2006. It should be possible to
recover some of this perf loss by teaching optimisations about the
llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, which would make it worth turning this on
by default (though it's still dependent on -fwhole-program-vtables).
