This allows tracking the in-memory type of a pointer argument to a
function for ABI purposes. This is essentially a stripped down version
of byval to remove some of the stack-copy implications in its
definition.
This includes the base IR changes, and some tests for places where it
should be treated similarly to byval. Codegen support will be in a
future patch.
My original attempt at solving some of these problems was to repurpose
byval with a different address space from the stack. However, it is
technically permitted for the callee to introduce a write to the
argument, although nothing does this in reality. There is also talk of
removing and replacing the byval attribute, so a new attribute would
need to take its place anyway.
This is intended avoid some optimization issues with the current
handling of aggregate arguments, as well as fixes inflexibilty in how
frontends can specify the kernel ABI. The most honest representation
of the amdgpu_kernel convention is to expose all kernel arguments as
loads from constant memory. Today, these are raw, SSA Argument values
and codegen is responsible for turning these into loads.
Background:
There currently isn't a satisfactory way to represent how arguments
for the amdgpu_kernel calling convention are passed. In reality,
arguments are passed in a single, flat, constant memory buffer
implicitly passed to the function. It is also illegal to call this
function in the IR, and this is only ever invoked by a driver of some
kind.
It does not make sense to have a stack passed parameter in this
context as is implied by byval. It is never valid to write to the
kernel arguments, as this would corrupt the inputs seen by other
dispatches of the kernel. These argumets are also not in the same
address space as the stack, so a copy is needed to an alloca. From a
source C-like language, the kernel parameters are invisible.
Semantically, a copy is always required from the constant argument
memory to a mutable variable.
The current clang calling convention lowering emits raw values,
including aggregates into the function argument list, since using
byval would not make sense. This has some unfortunate consequences for
the optimizer. In the aggregate case, we end up with an aggregate
store to alloca, which both SROA and instcombine turn into a store of
each aggregate field. The optimizer never pieces this back together to
see that this is really just a copy from constant memory, so we end up
stuck with expensive stack usage.
This also means the backend dictates the alignment of arguments, and
arbitrarily picks the LLVM IR ABI type alignment. By allowing an
explicit alignment, frontends can make better decisions. For example,
there's real no advantage to an aligment higher than 4, so a frontend
could choose to compact the argument layout. Similarly, there is a
high penalty to using an alignment lower than 4, so a frontend could
opt into more padding for small arguments.
Another design consideration is when it is appropriate to expose the
fact that these arguments are all really passed in adjacent
memory. Currently we have a late IR optimization pass in codegen to
rewrite the kernel argument values into explicit loads to enable
vectorization. In most programs, unrelated argument loads can be
merged together. However, exposing this property directly from the
frontend has some disadvantages. We still need a way to track the
original argument sizes and alignments to report to the driver. I find
using some side-channel, metadata mechanism to track this
unappealing. If the kernel arguments were exposed as a single buffer
to begin with, alias analysis would be unaware that the padding bits
betewen arguments are meaningless. Another family of problems is there
are still some gaps in replacing all of the available parameter
attributes with metadata equivalents once lowered to loads.
The immediate plan is to start using this new attribute to handle all
aggregate argumets for kernels. Long term, it makes sense to migrate
all kernel arguments, including scalars, to be passed indirectly in
the same manner.
Additional context is in D79744.
The `noundef` attribute indicates an argument or return value which
may never have an undef value representation.
This patch allows LLVM to parse the attribute.

Reapply 8a56d64d76 with minor fixes.
The problem was that cancellation can cause new edges to the parallel
region exit block which is not outlined. The CodeExtractor will encode
the information which "exit" was taken as a return value. The fix is to
ensure we do not return any value from the outlined function, to prevent
control to value conversion we ensure a single exit block for the
outlined region.
This reverts commit 3aac953afa.
In order to fix PR44560 and to prepare for loop transformations we now
finalize a function late, which will also do the outlining late. The
logic is as before but the actual outlining step happens now after the
function was fully constructed. Once we have loop transformations we
can apply them in the finalize step before the outlining.

During extraction, stale llvm.assume handles may be retained in the
original function. The setup is:
1) CodeExtractor unregisters assumptions in the blocks that are to be
extracted.
2) Extraction happens. There are now two functions: f1 and f1.extracted.
3) Leftover assumptions in f1 (/not/ removed as they were not in the set of
blocks to be extracted) now have affected-value llvm.assume handles in
f1.extracted.
When assumptions for a value used in f1 are looked up, ValueTracking can assert
as some of the handles are in the wrong function. To fix this, simply erase the
llvm.assume calls in the extracted function.
Alternatives include flushing the assumption cache in the original function, or
walking all values used in the original function to prune stale affected-value
handles. Both seem more expensive.

If a lifetime.end marker occurs along one path through the extraction
region, but not another, then it's still incorrect to lift the marker,
because there is some path through the extracted function which would
ordinarily not reach the marker. If the call to the extracted function
is in a loop, unrolling can cause inputs to the function to become
optimized out as undef after the first iteration.
To prevent incorrect stack slot merging in the calling function, it
should be sufficient to lift lifetime.start markers for region inputs.
I've tested this theory out by doing a stage2 check-all with randomized
splitting enabled.

When CodeExtractor finds liftime markers referencing inputs to the

them around the call to the extracted function (see r350420, PR39671).
However, it should *only* lift lifetime markers that are actually
present in the extraction region. I.e., if a start marker is present in
the extraction region but a corresponding end marker isn't (or vice
versa), only the start marker (or end marker, resp.) should be lifted.

Summary:
UBSan wants to detect when unreachable code is actually reached, so it
adds instrumentation before every `unreachable` instruction. However,
the optimizer will remove code after calls to functions marked with
`noreturn`. To avoid this UBSan removes `noreturn` from both the call
instruction as well as from the function itself. Unfortunately, ASan
relies on this annotation to unpoison the stack by inserting calls to
`_asan_handle_no_return` before `noreturn` functions. This is important
for functions that do not return but access the the stack memory, e.g.,
unwinder functions *like* `longjmp` (`longjmp` itself is actually
"double-proofed" via its interceptor). The result is that when ASan and
UBSan are combined, the `noreturn` attributes are missing and ASan
cannot unpoison the stack, so it has false positives when stack
unwinding is used.
Changes:
# UBSan now adds the `expect_noreturn` attribute whenever it removes
the `noreturn` attribute from a function
# ASan additionally checks for the presence of this attribute
Generated code:
```
call void @__asan_handle_no_return // Additionally inserted to avoid false positives
call void @longjmp
call void @__asan_handle_no_return
call void @__ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable
unreachable
```
The second call to `__asan_handle_no_return` is redundant. This will be
cleaned up in a follow-up patch.

CodeExtractor permits extracting a region of blocks from a function even
when values defined within the region are used outside of it.
This is typically done by creating an alloca in the original function

Lifetime markers which reference inputs to the extraction region are not
safe to extract. Example ('rhs' will be extracted):
```
entry:
+------------+
| x = alloca |
| y = alloca |
+------------+
/ \
lhs: rhs:
+-------------------+ +-------------------+
| lifetime_start(x) | | lifetime_start(x) |
| use(x) | | lifetime_start(y) |
| lifetime_end(x) | | use(x, y) |
| lifetime_start(y) | | lifetime_end(y) |
| use(y) | | lifetime_end(x) |
| lifetime_end(y) | +-------------------+
+-------------------+
```
Prior to extraction, the stack coloring pass sees that the slots for 'x'
and 'y' are in-use at the same time. After extraction, the coloring pass
infers that 'x' and 'y' are *not* in-use concurrently, because markers
from 'rhs' are no longer available to help decide otherwise.
This leads to a miscompile, because the stack slots actually are in-use
concurrently in the extracted function.
Fix this by moving lifetime start/end markers for memory regions defined
in the calling function around the call to the extracted function.
