This patch introduces new APIs to support resource tracking and removal in Orc.
It is intended as a thread-safe generalization of the removeModule concept from
OrcV1.
Clients can now create ResourceTracker objects (using
JITDylib::createResourceTracker) to track resources for each MaterializationUnit
(code, data, aliases, absolute symbols, etc.) added to the JIT. Every
MaterializationUnit will be associated with a ResourceTracker, and
ResourceTrackers can be re-used for multiple MaterializationUnits. Each JITDylib
has a default ResourceTracker that will be used for MaterializationUnits added
to that JITDylib if no ResourceTracker is explicitly specified.
Two operations can be performed on ResourceTrackers: transferTo and remove. The
transferTo operation transfers tracking of the resources to a different
ResourceTracker object, allowing ResourceTrackers to be merged to reduce
administrative overhead (the source tracker is invalidated in the process). The
remove operation removes all resources associated with a ResourceTracker,
including any symbols defined by MaterializationUnits associated with the
tracker, and also invalidates the tracker. These operations are thread safe, and
should work regardless of the the state of the MaterializationUnits. In the case
of resource transfer any existing resources associated with the source tracker
will be transferred to the destination tracker, and all future resources for
those units will be automatically associated with the destination tracker. In
the case of resource removal all already-allocated resources will be
deallocated, any if any program representations associated with the tracker have
not been compiled yet they will be destroyed. If any program representations are
currently being compiled then they will be prevented from completing: their
MaterializationResponsibility will return errors on any attempt to update the
JIT state.
Clients (usually Layer writers) wishing to track resources can implement the
ResourceManager API to receive notifications when ResourceTrackers are
transferred or removed. The MaterializationResponsibility::withResourceKeyDo
method can be used to create associations between the key for a ResourceTracker
and an allocated resource in a thread-safe way.
RTDyldObjectLinkingLayer and ObjectLinkingLayer are updated to use the
ResourceManager API to enable tracking and removal of memory allocated by the
JIT linker.
The new JITDylib::clear method can be used to trigger removal of every
ResourceTracker associated with the JITDylib (note that this will only
remove resources for the JITDylib, it does not run static destructors).
This patch includes unit tests showing basic usage. A follow-up patch will
update the Kaleidoscope and BuildingAJIT tutorial series to OrcV2 and will
use this API to release code associated with anonymous expressions.
Making MaterializationResponsibility instances immovable allows their
associated VModuleKeys to be updated by the ExecutionSession while the
responsibility is still in-flight. This will be used in the upcoming
removable code feature to enable safe merging of resource keys even if
there are active compiles using the keys being merged.
This commit adds a ManglingOptions struct to IRMaterializationUnit, and replaces
IRCompileLayer::CompileFunction with a new IRCompileLayer::IRCompiler class. The
ManglingOptions struct defines the emulated-TLS state (via a bool member,
EmulatedTLS, which is true if emulated-TLS is enabled and false otherwise). The
IRCompileLayer::IRCompiler class wraps an IRCompiler (the same way that the
CompileFunction typedef used to), but adds a method to return the
IRCompileLayer::ManglingOptions that the compiler will use.
These changes allow us to correctly determine the symbols that will be produced
when a thread local global variable defined at the IR level is compiled with or
without emulated TLS. This is required for ORCv2, where MaterializationUnits
must declare their interface up-front.
Most ORCv2 clients should not require any changes. Clients writing custom IR
compilers will need to wrap their compiler in an IRCompileLayer::IRCompiler,
rather than an IRCompileLayer::CompileFunction, however this should be a
straightforward change (see modifications to CompileUtils.* in this patch for an
example).
ThreadSafeModule/ThreadSafeContext are used to manage lifetimes and locking
for LLVMContexts in ORCv2. Prior to this patch contexts were locked as soon
as an associated Module was emitted (to be compiled and linked), and were not
unlocked until the emit call returned. This could lead to deadlocks if
interdependent modules that shared contexts were compiled on different threads:
when, during emission of the first module, the dependence was discovered the
second module (which would provide the required symbol) could not be emitted as
the thread emitting the first module still held the lock.
This patch eliminates this possibility by moving to a finer-grained locking
scheme. Each client holds the module lock only while they are actively operating
on it. To make this finer grained locking simpler/safer to implement this patch
removes the explicit lock method, 'getContextLock', from ThreadSafeModule and
replaces it with a new method, 'withModuleDo', that implicitly locks the context,
calls a user-supplied function object to operate on the Module, then implicitly
unlocks the context before returning the result.
ThreadSafeModule TSM = getModule(...);
size_t NumFunctions = TSM.withModuleDo(
[](Module &M) { // <- context locked before entry to lambda.
return M.size();
});
Existing ORCv2 layers that operate on ThreadSafeModules are updated to use the
new method.
This method is used to introduce Module locking into each of the existing
layers.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

MaterializationResponsibility.
VModuleKeys are intended to enable selective removal of modules from a JIT
session, however for a wide variety of use cases selective removal is not
needed and introduces unnecessary overhead. As of this commit, the default
constructed VModuleKey value is reserved as a "do not track" value, and
becomes the default when adding a new module to the JIT.
This commit also changes the propagation of VModuleKeys. They were passed
alongside the MaterializationResponsibity instance in XXLayer::emit methods,
but are now propagated as part of the MaterializationResponsibility instance
itself (and as part of MaterializationUnit when stored in a JITDylib).
Associating VModuleKeys with MaterializationUnits in this way should allow
for a thread-safe module removal mechanism in the future, even when a module
is in the process of being compiled, by having the
MaterializationResponsibility object check in on its VModuleKey's state
before commiting its results to the JITDylib.

This commit adds a 'Legacy' prefix to old ORC layers and utilities, and removes
the '2' suffix from the new ORC layers. If you wish to continue using the old
ORC layers you will need to add a 'Legacy' prefix to your classes. If you were
already using the new ORC layers you will need to drop the '2' suffix.
The legacy layers will remain in-tree until the new layers reach feature
parity with them. This will involve adding support for removing code from the
new layers, and ensuring that performance is comperable.

compilation of IR in the JIT.
ThreadSafeContext is a pair of an LLVMContext and a mutex that can be used to
lock that context when it needs to be accessed from multiple threads.
ThreadSafeModule is a pair of a unique_ptr<Module> and a
shared_ptr<ThreadSafeContext>. This allows the lifetime of a ThreadSafeContext
to be managed automatically in terms of the ThreadSafeModules that refer to it:
Once all modules using a ThreadSafeContext are destructed, and providing the
client has not held on to a copy of shared context pointer, the context will be
automatically destructed.
This scheme is necessary due to the following constraits: (1) We need multiple
contexts for multithreaded compilation (at least one per compile thread plus
one to store any IR not currently being compiled, though one context per module
is simpler). (2) We need to free contexts that are no longer being used so that
the JIT does not leak memory over time. (3) Module lifetimes are not
predictable (modules are compiled as needed depending on the flow of JIT'd
code) so there is no single point where contexts could be reclaimed.
JIT clients not using concurrency can safely use one ThreadSafeContext for all
ThreadSafeModules.
JIT clients who want to be able to compile concurrently should use a different
ThreadSafeContext for each module, or call setCloneToNewContextOnEmit on their
top-level IRLayer. The former reduces compile latency (since no clone step is
needed) at the cost of additional memory overhead for uncompiled modules (as
every uncompiled module will duplicate the LLVM types, constants and metadata
that have been shared).
