The "-fzero-call-used-regs" option tells the compiler to zero out
certain registers before the function returns. It's also available as a
function attribute: zero_call_used_regs.
The two upper categories are:
- "used": Zero out used registers.
- "all": Zero out all registers, whether used or not.
The individual options are:
- "skip": Don't zero out any registers. This is the default.
- "used": Zero out all used registers.
- "used-arg": Zero out used registers that are used for arguments.
- "used-gpr": Zero out used registers that are GPRs.
- "used-gpr-arg": Zero out used GPRs that are used as arguments.
- "all": Zero out all registers.
- "all-arg": Zero out all registers used for arguments.

Special classes such as accessor, sampler, and stream need additional

GCC6.0 adds target_clones multiversioning. This functionality is
an odd cross between the cpu_dispatch and 'target' MV, but is compatible
with neither.
This attribute allows you to list all options, then emits a separately
optimized version of each function per-option (similar to the
cpu_specific attribute). It automatically generates a resolver, just
like the other two.

Previously, btf_del_tag attribute supports record, field, global variable,
function and function parameter ([1], [2]). This patch added support for typedef.
The main reason is for typedef of an anonymous struct/union, we can only apply
btf_decl_tag attribute to the anonymous struct/union like below:
typedef struct { ... } __btf_decl_tag target_type
In this case, the __btf_decl_tag attribute applies to anonymous struct,
which increases downstream implementation complexity. But if
typedef with btf_decl_tag attribute is supported, we can have
typedef struct { ... } target_type __btf_decl_tag
which applies __btf_decl_tag to typedef "target_type" which make it
easier to directly associate btf_decl_tag with a named type.
This patch permitted btf_decl_tag with typedef types with this reason.

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.

There are a few APIs used to retrieve a protocol at runtime.

Summary:
- Even though the bindless surface/texture interfaces are promoted,
there are still code using surface/texture references. For example,
[PR#26400](https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26400) reports the
compilation issue for code using `tex2D` with texture references. For
better compatibility, this patch proposes the support of
surface/texture references.
- Due to the absent documentation and magic headers, it's believed that
`nvcc` does use builtins for texture support. From the limited NVVM
documentation[^nvvm] and NVPTX backend texture/surface related
tests[^test], it's believed that surface/texture references are
supported by replacing their reference types, which are annotated with
`device_builtin_surface_type`/`device_builtin_texture_type`, with the
corresponding handle-like object types, `cudaSurfaceObject_t` or
`cudaTextureObject_t`, in the device-side compilation. On the host
side, that global handle variables are registered and will be
established and updated later when corresponding binding/unbinding
APIs are called[^bind]. Surface/texture references are most like
device global variables but represented in different types on the host
and device sides.
- In this patch, the following changes are proposed to support that
behavior:
+ Refine `device_builtin_surface_type` and
`device_builtin_texture_type` attributes to be applied on `Type`
decl only to check whether a variable is of the surface/texture
reference type.
+ Add hooks in code generation to replace that reference types with
the correponding object types as well as all accesses to them. In
particular, `nvvm.texsurf.handle.internal` should be used to load
object handles from global reference variables[^texsurf] as well as
metadata annotations.
+ Generate host-side registration with proper template argument
parsing.

Summary:
[Clang] Attribute to allow defining undef global variables
Initializing global variables is very cheap on hosted implementations. The
C semantics of zero initializing globals work very well there. It is not
necessarily cheap on freestanding implementations. Where there is no loader
available, code must be emitted near the start point to write the appropriate
values into memory.
At present, external variables can be declared in C++ and definitions provided
in assembly (or IR) to achive this effect. This patch provides an attribute in
order to remove this reason for writing assembly for performance sensitive
freestanding implementations.
A close analogue in tree is LDS memory for amdgcn, where the kernel is
responsible for initializing the memory after it starts executing on the gpu.
Uninitalized variables in LDS are observably cheaper than zero initialized.
Patch is loosely based on the cuda __shared__ and opencl __local variable
implementation which also produces undef global variables.

__attribute__((objc_direct)) is an attribute on methods declaration, and
__attribute__((objc_direct_members)) on implementation, categories or
extensions.
A `direct` property specifier is added (@property(direct) type name)
These attributes / specifiers cause the method to have no associated
Objective-C metadata (for the property or the method itself), and the
calling convention to be a direct C function call.
The symbol for the method has enforced hidden visibility and such direct
calls are hence unreachable cross image. An explicit C function must be
made if so desired to wrap them.
The implicit `self` and `_cmd` arguments are preserved, however to
maintain compatibility with the usual `objc_msgSend` semantics,
3 fundamental precautions are taken:
1) for instance methods, `self` is nil-checked. On arm64 backends this
typically adds a single instruction (cbz x0, <closest-ret>) to the
codegen, for the vast majority of the cases when the return type is a
scalar.
2) for class methods, because the class may not be realized/initialized
yet, a call to `[self self]` is emitted. When the proper deployment
target is used, this is optimized to `objc_opt_self(self)`.
However, long term we might want to emit something better that the
optimizer can reason about. When inlining kicks in, these calls
aren't optimized away as the optimizer has no idea that a single call
is really necessary.
3) the calling convention for the `_cmd` argument is changed: the caller
leaves the second argument to the call undefined, and the selector is
loaded inside the body when it's referenced only.
As far as error reporting goes, the compiler refuses:
- making any overloads direct,
- making an overload of a direct method,
- implementations marked as direct when the declaration in the
interface isn't (the other way around is allowed, as the direct
attribute is inherited from the declaration),
- marking methods required for protocol conformance as direct,
- messaging an unqualified `id` with a direct method,
- forming any @selector() expression with only direct selectors.
As warnings:
- any inconsistency of direct-related calling convention when
@selector() or messaging is used,
- forming any @selector() expression with a possibly direct selector.
Lastly an `objc_direct_members` attribute is added that can decorate
`@implementation` blocks and causes methods only declared there (and in
no `@interface`) to be automatically direct. When decorating an
`@interface` then all methods and properties declared in this block are
marked direct.
