This is a minor patch that addresses concerns about lifetime in D94002.
We need to mention that what's written in LangRef isn't everything about lifetime.start/end
and its semantics depends on the stack coloring algorithm's pattern matching of a stack pointer.
If the stack coloring algorithm cannot conclude that a pointer is a stack-allocated object, the pointer is conservatively
considered as a non-stack one because stack coloring won't take this lifetime into account while assigning addresses.
A reference from alloca to lifetime.start/end is added as well.

This patch adds a new metadata node, DIArgList, which contains a list of SSA
values. This node is in many ways similar in function to the existing
ValueAsMetadata node, with the difference being that it tracks a list instead of
a single value. Internally, it uses ValueAsMetadata to track the individual
values, but there is also a reasonable amount of DIArgList-specific
value-tracking logic on top of that. Similar to ValueAsMetadata, it is a special
case in parsing and printing due to the fact that it requires a function state
(as it may reference function-local values).
This patch should not result in any immediate functional change; it allows for
DIArgLists to be parsed and printed, but debug variable intrinsics do not yet
recognize them as a valid argument (outside of parsing).

explicitly emitting retainRV or claimRV calls in the IR
This reapplies ed4718eccb, which was reverted
because it was causing a miscompile. The bug that was causing the miscompile
has been fixed in 75805dce5f.
Original commit message:
Background:
This fixes a longstanding problem where llvm breaks ARC's autorelease
optimization (see the link below) by separating calls from the marker
instructions or retainRV/claimRV calls. The backend changes are in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D92569.
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html#arc-runtime-objc-autoreleasereturnvalue
What this patch does to fix the problem:
- The front-end adds operand bundle "clang.arc.attachedcall" to calls,
which indicates the call is implicitly followed by a marker
instruction and an implicit retainRV/claimRV call that consumes the
call result. In addition, it emits a call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use, which consumes the call result, to
prevent the middle-end passes from changing the return type of the
called function. This is currently done only when the target is arm64
and the optimization level is higher than -O0.
- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the calls
with the operand bundle in the IR and removes the inserted calls after
processing the function.
- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the call with the
operand bundle. It doesn't remove the operand bundle on the call since
the backend needs it to emit the marker instruction. The retainRV and
claimRV calls are emitted late in the pipeline to prevent optimization
passes from transforming the IR in a way that makes it harder for the
ARC middle-end passes to figure out the def-use relationship between
the call and the retainRV/claimRV calls (which is the cause of
PR31925).
- The function inliner removes an autoreleaseRV call in the callee if
nothing in the callee prevents it from being paired up with the
retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. It then inserts a release call if
claimRV is attached to the call since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is
equivalent to a release. If it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it
tries to transfer the operand bundle to a function call in the callee.
This is important since the ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV
returning the callee result, which makes it impossible to pair it up
with the retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply
emits a retain call in the IR if retainRV is attached to the call and
does nothing if claimRV is attached to it.
- SCCP refrains from replacing the return value of a call with a
constant value if the call has the operand bundle. This ensures the
call always has at least one user (the call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use).
- This patch also fixes a bug in replaceUsesOfNonProtoConstant where
multiple operand bundles of the same kind were being added to a call.
Future work:
- Use the operand bundle on x86-64.
- Fix the auto upgrader to convert call+retainRV/claimRV pairs into
calls with the operand bundles.

This patch adds a new instruction that can represent variadic debug values,
DBG_VALUE_VAR. This patch alone covers the addition of the instruction and a set
of basic code changes in MachineInstr and a few adjacent areas, but does not
correctly handle variadic debug values outside of these areas, nor does it
generate them at any point.
The new instruction is similar to the existing DBG_VALUE instruction, with the
following differences: the operands are in a different order, any number of
values may be used in the instruction following the Variable and Expression
operands (these are referred to in code as “debug operands”) and are indexed
from 0 so that getDebugOperand(X) == getOperand(X+2), and the Expression in a
DBG_VALUE_VAR must use the DW_OP_LLVM_arg operator to pass arguments into the
expression.
The new DW_OP_LLVM_arg operator is only valid in expressions appearing in a
DBG_VALUE_VAR; it takes a single argument and pushes the debug operand at the
index given by the argument onto the Expression stack. For example the
sub-expression `DW_OP_LLVM_arg, 0` has the meaning “Push the debug operand at
index 0 onto the expression stack.”

See pr46990(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46990). LICM should not sink store instructions to loop exit blocks which cross coro.suspend intrinsics. This breaks semantic of coro.suspend intrinsic which return to caller directly. Also this leads to use-after-free if the coroutine is freed before control returns to the caller in multithread environment.
This patch disable promotion by check whether loop contains coro.suspend intrinsics.
This is a resubmit of D86190.
Disabling LICM for loops with coroutine suspension is a better option not only for correctness purpose but also for performance purpose.
In most cases LICM sinks memory operations. In the case of coroutine, sinking memory operation out of the loop does not improve performance since coroutien needs to get data from the frame anyway. In fact LICM would hurt coroutine performance since it adds more entries to the frame.

This document was originally introduced in ab4648504b, and was reverted in
912bc4980e while I investigated a number of shpinx bot errors. This commit
reintroduces the document with fixes for those errors, as well as some
improvements to the wording and formatting.
For some build configurations, `check-all` calls lit multiple times to
run multiple lit test suites. Most recently, I've found this to be
true when configuring openmp as part of `LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES`, but
this is not the first time.
If one test suite fails, none of the remaining test suites run, so you
cannot determine if your patch has broken them. It can then be
frustrating to try to determine which `check-` targets will run the
remaining tests without getting stuck on the failing tests.
When such cases arise, it is probably best to adjust the cmake
configuration for `check-all` to run all test suites as part of one
lit invocation. Because that fix will likely not be implemented and
land immediately, this patch introduces `--ignore-fail` to serve as a
workaround for developers trying to see test results until it does
land:
```
$ LIT_OPTS=--ignore-fail ninja check-all
```
One problem with `--ignore-fail` is that it makes it challenging to
detect test failures in a script, perhaps in CI. This problem should
serve as motivation to actually fix the cmake configuration instead of
continuing to use `--ignore-fail` indefinitely.

In the past, it was stated in D87994 that it is allowed to dereference a pointer that is partially undefined
if all of its possible representations fit into a dereferenceable range.
The motivation of the direction was to make a range analysis helpful for assuring dereferenceability.
Even if a range analysis concludes that its offset is within bounds, the offset could still be partially undefined; to utilize the range analysis, this relaxation was necessary.
https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/2Qk4fOHUoAE/m/KcvYMEgOAgAJ has more context about this.
However, this is currently blocking another optimization, which is annotating the noundef attribute for library functions' arguments. D95122 is the patch.
Currently, there are quite a few library functions which cannot have noundef attached to its pointer argument because it can be transformed from load/store.
For example, MemCpyOpt can convert stores into memset:
```
store p, i32 0
store (p+1), i32 0 // Since currently it is allowed for store to have partially undefined pointer..
->
memset(p, 0, 8) // memset cannot guarantee that its ptr argument is noundef.
```
A bigger problem is that this makes unclear which library functions are allowed to have 'noundef' and which functions aren't (e.g., strlen).
This makes annotating noundef almost impossible for this kind of functions.
This patch proposes that all memory operations should have well-defined pointers.
For memset/memcpy, it is semantically equivalent to running a loop until the size is met (and branching on undef is UB), so the size is also updated to be well-defined.
Strictly speaking, this again violates the implication of dereferenceability from range analysis result.
However, I think this is okay for the following reasons:
1. It seems the existing analyses in the LLVM main repo does not have conflicting implementation with the new proposal.
`isDereferenceableAndAlignedPointer` works only when the GEP offset is constant, and `isDereferenceableAndAlignedInLoop` is also fine.
2. A possible miscompilation happens only when the source has a pointer with a *partially* undefined offset (it's okay with poison because there is no 'partially poison' value).
But, at least I'm not aware of a language using LLVM as backend that has a well-defined program while allowing partially undefined pointers.
There might be such a language that I'm not aware of, but improving the performance of the mainstream languages like C and Rust is more important IMHO.

indicates the call is implicitly followed by a marker instruction and
an implicit retainRV/claimRV call that consumes the call result. In
addition, it emits a call to @llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use, which
consumes the call result, to prevent the middle-end passes from changing
the return type of the called function. This is currently done only when
the target is arm64 and the optimization level is higher than -O0.
- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the calls
with the operand bundle in the IR and removes the inserted calls after
processing the function.
- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the call with the
operand bundle. It doesn't remove the operand bundle on the call since
the backend needs it to emit the marker instruction. The retainRV and
claimRV calls are emitted late in the pipeline to prevent optimization
passes from transforming the IR in a way that makes it harder for the
ARC middle-end passes to figure out the def-use relationship between
the call and the retainRV/claimRV calls (which is the cause of
PR31925).
- The function inliner removes an autoreleaseRV call in the callee if
nothing in the callee prevents it from being paired up with the
retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. It then inserts a release call if
the call is annotated with claimRV since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is
equivalent to a release. If it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it
tries to transfer the operand bundle to a function call in the callee.
This is important since ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV
returning the callee result, which makes it impossible to pair it up
with the retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply
emits a retain call in the IR if the implicit call is a call to
retainRV and does nothing if it's a call to claimRV.
Future work:
- Use the operand bundle on x86-64.
- Fix the auto upgrader to convert call+retainRV/claimRV pairs into
calls annotated with the operand bundles.

Based on the comments in the code, the idea is that AsmPrinter is
unable to produce entry value blocks of arbitrary length, such as
DW_OP_entry_value [DW_OP_reg5 DW_OP_lit1 DW_OP_plus]. But the way the
Verifier check is written it also disallows DW_OP_entry_value
[DW_OP_reg5] DW_OP_lit1 DW_OP_plus which seems to overshoot the
target.
Note that this patch does not change any of the safety guards in
LiveDebugValues — there is zero behavior change for clang. It just
allows us to legalize more complex expressions in future patches.

With the new PM imminent, bugpoint will diverge from opt, meaning it may
not reproduce a crash with the same arguments passed to opt. We need to
specify alternatives to bugpoint for reducing crashes.
I looked at the rest of the document to see if anything could be
improved. Major highlights:
* Run -Xclang -disable-llvm-passes instead of -O0 for skipping IR passes
* Mention the files that clang dumps on a crash
* Remove outdated reference to `delta` and plug `creduce` instead
* Mention llvm-reduce on top of bugpoint
* Mention --print-before-all --print-module-scope
* Mention sanitizers in addition to valgrind
* Mention opt-bisect for miscompiles

So far, it was not specified what happens with the VGPRs of inactive
lanes when functions are called. This patch explicitely mentions that
the VGPR values of inactive lanes need to be preserved for all
registers.
This describes the current behavior, as only active lanes of registers
are saved to scratch. Also, as the multi-lane nature of VGPRs is not
properly modeled, we cannot determine the live VGPRs from inactive lanes
at calls. So we cannot save them, even if we intended to do so.

To set non-default rounding mode user usually calls function 'fesetround'
from standard C library. This way has some disadvantages.
* It creates unnecessary dependency on libc. On the other hand, setting
rounding mode requires few instructions and could be made by compiler.
Sometimes standard C library even is not available, like in the case of
GPU or AI cores that execute small kernels.
* Compiler could generate more effective code if it knows that a particular
call just sets rounding mode.
This change introduces new IR intrinsic, namely 'llvm.set.rounding', which
sets current rounding mode, similar to 'fesetround'. It however differs
from the latter, because it is a lower level facility:
* 'llvm.set.rounding' does not return any value, whereas 'fesetround'
returns non-zero value in the case of failure. In glibc 'fesetround'
reports failure if its argument is invalid or unsupported or if floating
point operations are unavailable on the hardware. Compiler usually knows
what core it generates code for and it can validate arguments in many
cases.
* Rounding mode is specified in 'fesetround' using constants like
'FE_TONEAREST', which are target dependent. It is inconvenient to work
with such constants at IR level.
C standard provides a target-independent way to specify rounding mode, it
is used in FLT_ROUNDS, however it does not define standard way to set
rounding mode using this encoding.
This change implements only IR intrinsic. Lowering it to machine code is
target-specific and will be implemented latter. Mapping of 'fesetround'
to 'llvm.set.rounding' is also not implemented here.

This adds a generic opcode which communicates that a type has already been
zero-extended from a narrower type.
This is intended to be similar to AssertZext in SelectionDAG.
For example,
```
%x_was_extended:_(s64) = G_ASSERT_ZEXT %x, 16
```
Signifies that the top 48 bits of %x are known to be 0.
This is useful in cases like this:
```
define i1 @zeroext_param(i8 zeroext %x) {
%cmp = icmp ult i8 %x, -20
ret i1 %cmp
}
```
In AArch64, `%x` must use a 32-bit register, which is then truncated to a 8-bit
value.
If we know that `%x` is already zero-ed out in the relevant high bits, we can
avoid the truncate.
Currently, in GISel, this looks like this:
```
_zeroext_param:
and w8, w0, #0xff ; We don't actually need this!
cmp w8, #236
cset w0, lo
ret
```
While SDAG does not produce the truncation, since it knows that it's
unnecessary:
```
_zeroext_param:
cmp w0, #236
cset w0, lo
ret
```
This patch
- Adds G_ASSERT_ZEXT
- Adds MIRBuilder support for it
- Adds MachineVerifier support for it
- Documents it
It also puts G_ASSERT_ZEXT into its own class of "hint instruction." (There
should be a G_ASSERT_SEXT in the future, maybe a G_ASSERT_ALIGN as well.)
This allows us to skip over hints in the legalizer etc. These can then later
be selected like COPY instructions or removed.
