This can be seen as a follow up to commit 0ee439b705,
that changed the second argument of __powidf2, __powisf2 and
__powitf2 in compiler-rt from si_int to int. That was to align with
how those runtimes are defined in libgcc.
One thing that seem to have been missing in that patch was to make
sure that the rest of LLVM also handle that the argument now depends
on the size of int (not using the si_int machine mode for 32-bit).
When using __builtin_powi for a target with 16-bit int clang crashed.
And when emitting libcalls to those rtlib functions, typically when
lowering @llvm.powi), the backend would always prepare the exponent
argument as an i32 which caused miscompiles when the rtlib was
compiled with 16-bit int.
The solution used here is to use an overloaded type for the second
argument in @llvm.powi. This way clang can use the "correct" type
when lowering __builtin_powi, and then later when emitting the libcall
it is assumed that the type used in @llvm.powi matches the rtlib
function.
One thing that needed some extra attention was that when vectorizing
calls several passes did not support that several arguments could
be overloaded in the intrinsics. This patch allows overload of a
scalar operand by adding hasVectorInstrinsicOverloadedScalarOpd, with
an entry for powi.

I don't like landing this change, but it's an acknowledgement of a practical reality. Despite not having well specified semantics for inttoptr and ptrtoint involving non-integral pointer types, they are used in practice. Here's a quick summary of the current pragmatic reality:
* I happen to know that the main external user of non-integral pointers has effectively disabled the verifier rules.
* RS4GC (the lowering pass for abstract GC machine model which is the key motivation for non-integral pointers), even supports them. We just have all the tests using an integral pointer space to let the verifier run.
* Certain idioms (such as alignment checks for alignment N, where any relocation is guaranteed to be N byte aligned) are fine in practice.
* As implemented, inttoptr/ptrtoint are CSEd and are not control dependent. This means that any code which is intending to check a particular bit pattern at site of use must be wrapped in an intrinsic or external function call.
This change allows them in the Verifier, and updates the LangRef to specific them as implementation dependent. This allows us to acknowledge current reality while still leaving ourselves room to punt on figuring out "good" semantics until the future.
https://reviews.llvm.org/D95745 introduced a new `unwind` keyword for inline assembler expressions. Inline asms marked with the `unwind` keyword allows stack unwinding from inline assembly because the compiler emits unwinding information ("around" the inline asm) as it would for calls/invokes. Unwinding the stack from within non-unwind inline asm may cause UB.

SwiftTailCC has a different set of requirements than the C calling convention
for a tail call. The exact argument sequence doesn't have to match, but fewer
ABI-affecting attributes are allowed.
Also make sure the musttail diagnostic triggers if a musttail call isn't
actually a tail call.
There can be a need for some optimizations to get (base, offset)
for any GC pointer. The base can be calculated by generating
needed instructions as it is done by the
RewriteStatepointsForGC::findBasePointer() function. The offset
can be calculated in the same way. Though to not expose the base
calculation and to make the offset calculation as simple as
ptrtoint(derived_ptr) - ptrtoint(base_ptr), which is illegal
outside RS4GC, this patch introduces 2 intrinsics:
@llvm.experimental.gc.get.pointer.base(%derived_ptr)
@llvm.experimental.gc.get.pointer.offset(%derived_ptr)
These intrinsics are inlined by RS4GC along with generation of
statepoint sequences.
With these new intrinsics the GC parseable lowering for atomic

Unfortunately, for SanitizeCoverage, it has not been implemented as a
sanitizer via fsanitize= and associated options in Sanitizers.def, but
rolls its own option fsanitize-coverage. This meant that we never got
"automatic" no_sanitize attribute support.
Implement no_sanitize attribute support by special-casing the string

This patch is the Part-1 (FE Clang) implementation of HW Exception handling.
This new feature adds the support of Hardware Exception for Microsoft Windows
SEH (Structured Exception Handling).
This is the first step of this project; only X86_64 target is enabled in this patch.
Compiler options:
For clang-cl.exe, the option is -EHa, the same as MSVC.
For clang.exe, the extra option is -fasync-exceptions,
plus -triple x86_64-windows -fexceptions and -fcxx-exceptions as usual.
NOTE:: Without the -EHa or -fasync-exceptions, this patch is a NO-DIFF change.
The rules for C code:
For C-code, one way (MSVC approach) to achieve SEH -EHa semantic is to follow
three rules:
* First, no exception can move in or out of _try region., i.e., no "potential
faulty instruction can be moved across _try boundary.
* Second, the order of exceptions for instructions 'directly' under a _try
must be preserved (not applied to those in callees).
* Finally, global states (local/global/heap variables) that can be read
outside of _try region must be updated in memory (not just in register)
before the subsequent exception occurs.
The impact to C++ code:
Although SEH is a feature for C code, -EHa does have a profound effect on C++
side. When a C++ function (in the same compilation unit with option -EHa ) is
called by a SEH C function, a hardware exception occurs in C++ code can also
be handled properly by an upstream SEH _try-handler or a C++ catch(...).
As such, when that happens in the middle of an object's life scope, the dtor
must be invoked the same way as C++ Synchronous Exception during unwinding
process.
Design:
A natural way to achieve the rules above in LLVM today is to allow an EH edge
added on memory/computation instruction (previous iload/istore idea) so that
exception path is modeled in Flow graph preciously. However, tracking every
single memory instruction and potential faulty instruction can create many
Invokes, complicate flow graph and possibly result in negative performance
impact for downstream optimization and code generation. Making all
optimizations be aware of the new semantic is also substantial.
This design does not intend to model exception path at instruction level.
Instead, the proposed design tracks and reports EH state at BLOCK-level to
reduce the complexity of flow graph and minimize the performance-impact on CPP
code under -EHa option.
One key element of this design is the ability to compute State number at
block-level. Our algorithm is based on the following rationales:
A _try scope is always a SEME (Single Entry Multiple Exits) region as jumping
into a _try is not allowed. The single entry must start with a seh_try_begin()
invoke with a correct State number that is the initial state of the SEME.
Through control-flow, state number is propagated into all blocks. Side exits
marked by seh_try_end() will unwind to parent state based on existing
SEHUnwindMap[].
Note side exits can ONLY jump into parent scopes (lower state number).
Thus, when a block succeeds various states from its predecessors, the lowest
State triumphs others. If some exits flow to unreachable, propagation on those
paths terminate, not affecting remaining blocks.
For CPP code, object lifetime region is usually a SEME as SEH _try.
However there is one rare exception: jumping into a lifetime that has Dtor but
has no Ctor is warned, but allowed:
Warning: jump bypasses variable with a non-trivial destructor
In that case, the region is actually a MEME (multiple entry multiple exits).
Our solution is to inject a eha_scope_begin() invoke in the side entry block to
ensure a correct State.
Implementation:
Part-1: Clang implementation described below.
Two intrinsic are created to track CPP object scopes; eha_scope_begin() and eha_scope_end().
_scope_begin() is immediately added after ctor() is called and EHStack is pushed.
So it must be an invoke, not a call. With that it's also guaranteed an
EH-cleanup-pad is created regardless whether there exists a call in this scope.
_scope_end is added before dtor(). These two intrinsics make the computation of
Block-State possible in downstream code gen pass, even in the presence of
ctor/dtor inlining.
Two intrinsic, seh_try_begin() and seh_try_end(), are added for C-code to mark
_try boundary and to prevent from exceptions being moved across _try boundary.
All memory instructions inside a _try are considered as 'volatile' to assure
2nd and 3rd rules for C-code above. This is a little sub-optimized. But it's
acceptable as the amount of code directly under _try is very small.
Part-2 (will be in Part-2 patch): LLVM implementation described below.
For both C++ & C-code, the state of each block is computed at the same place in
BE (WinEHPreparing pass) where all other EH tables/maps are calculated.
In addition to _scope_begin & _scope_end, the computation of block state also
rely on the existing State tracking code (UnwindMap and InvokeStateMap).
For both C++ & C-code, the state of each block with potential trap instruction
is marked and reported in DAG Instruction Selection pass, the same place where
the state for -EHsc (synchronous exceptions) is done.
If the first instruction in a reported block scope can trap, a Nop is injected
before this instruction. This nop is needed to accommodate LLVM Windows EH
implementation, in which the address in IPToState table is offset by +1.
(note the purpose of that is to ensure the return address of a call is in the
same scope as the call address.
The handler for catch(...) for -EHa must handle HW exception. So it is
'adjective' flag is reset (it cannot be IsStdDotDot (0x40) that only catches
C++ exceptions).
Suppress push/popTerminate() scope (from noexcept/noTHrow) so that HW
exceptions can be passed through.

Swift's new concurrency features are going to require guaranteed tail calls so
that they don't consume excessive amounts of stack space. This would normally
mean "tailcc", but there are also Swift-specific ABI desires that don't
naturally go along with "tailcc" so this adds another calling convention that's
the combination of "swiftcc" and "tailcc".
Support is added for AArch64 and X86 for now.
This extends any frame record created in the function to include that
parameter, passed in X22.
The new record looks like [X22, FP, LR] in memory, and FP is stored with 0b0001
in bits 63:60 (CodeGen assumes they are 0b0000 in normal operation). The effect
of this is that tools walking the stack should expect to see one of three
values there:
* 0b0000 => a normal, non-extended record with just [FP, LR]
* 0b0001 => the extended record [X22, FP, LR]
* 0b1111 => kernel space, and a non-extended record.
All other values are currently reserved.
If compiling for arm64e this context pointer is address-discriminated with the
discriminator 0xc31a and the DB (process-specific) key.
There is also an "i8** @llvm.swift.async.context.addr()" intrinsic providing
front-ends access to this slot (and forcing its creation initialized to nullptr
if necessary).
The opaque pointer type is essentially just a normal pointer type with a
null pointee type.
This also adds support for the opaque pointer type to the bitcode
reader/writer, as well as to textual IR.
To avoid confusion with existing pointer types, we disallow creating a
pointer to an opaque pointer.
Opaque pointer types should not be widely used at this point since many
parts of LLVM still do not support them. The next steps are to add some
very simple use cases of opaque pointers to make sure they work, then
start pretending that all pointers are opaque pointers and see what
breaks.

When we pass a AArch64 Homogeneous Floating-Point
Aggregate (HFA) argument with increased alignment
requirements, for example
struct S {
__attribute__ ((__aligned__(16))) double v[4];
};
Clang uses `[4 x double]` for the parameter, which is passed
on the stack at alignment 8, whereas it should be at
alignment 16, following Rule C.4 in
AAPCS (https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/master/aapcs64/aapcs64.rst#642parameter-passing-rules)
Currently we don't have a way to express in LLVM IR the
alignment requirements of the function arguments. The align
attribute is applicable to pointers only, and only for some
special ways of passing arguments (e..g byval). When
implementing AAPCS32/AAPCS64, clang resorts to dubious hacks
of coercing to types, which naturally have the needed
alignment. We don't have enough types to cover all the
cases, though.
This patch introduces a new use of the stackalign attribute
to control stack slot alignment, when and if an argument is
passed in memory.
The attribute align is left as an optimizer hint - it still
applies to pointer types only and pertains to the content of
the pointer, whereas the alignment of the pointer itself is
determined by the stackalign attribute.
For byval arguments, the stackalign attribute assumes the
role, previously perfomed by align, falling back to align if
stackalign` is absent.
On the clang side, when passing arguments using the "direct"
style (cf. `ABIArgInfo::Kind`), now we can optionally
specify an alignment, which is emitted as the new
`stackalign` attribute.

I think byval/sret and the others are close to being able to rip out
the code to support the missing type case. A lot of this code is
shared with inalloca, so catch this up to the others so that can
happen.
This patch adds a new llvm.experimental.stepvector intrinsic,
which takes no arguments and returns a linear integer sequence of
values of the form <0, 1, ...>. It is primarily intended for
scalable vectors, although it will work for fixed width vectors
too. It is intended that later patches will make use of this
new intrinsic when vectorising induction variables, currently only
supported for fixed width. I've added a new CreateStepVector
method to the IRBuilder, which will generate a call to this
intrinsic for scalable vectors and fall back on creating a
ConstantVector for fixed width.
For scalable vectors this intrinsic is lowered to a new ISD node
called STEP_VECTOR, which takes a single constant integer argument
as the step. During lowering this argument is set to a value of 1.
The reason for this additional argument at the codegen level is
because in future patches we will introduce various generic DAG
combines such as
mul step_vector(1), 2 -> step_vector(2)
add step_vector(1), step_vector(1) -> step_vector(2)
shl step_vector(1), 1 -> step_vector(2)
etc.
that encourage a canonical format for all targets. This hopefully
means all other targets supporting scalable vectors can benefit
from this too.
I've added cost model tests for both fixed width and scalable
vectors:
llvm/test/Analysis/CostModel/AArch64/neon-stepvector.ll
llvm/test/Analysis/CostModel/AArch64/sve-stepvector.ll
as well as codegen lowering tests for fixed width and scalable
vectors:
llvm/test/CodeGen/AArch64/neon-stepvector.ll
llvm/test/CodeGen/AArch64/sve-stepvector.ll
See this thread for discussion of the intrinsic:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2021-January/147943.html
This attribute represents the minimum and maximum values vscale can
take. For now this attribute is not hooked up to anything during
codegen, this will be added in the future when such codegen is
considered stable.
Additionally hook up the -msve-vector-bits=<x> clang option to emit this
attribute.

This patch adds support for intrinsic overloading on unnamed types.
This fixes PR38117 and PR48340 and will also be needed for the Full Restrict Patches (D68484).
The main problem is that the intrinsic overloading name mangling is using 's_s' for unnamed types.
This can result in identical intrinsic mangled names for different function prototypes.
This patch changes this by adding a '.XXXXX' to the intrinsic mangled name when at least one of the types is based on an unnamed type, ensuring that we get a unique name.
Implementation details:
- The mapping is created on demand and kept in Module.
- It also checks for existing clashes and recycles potentially existing prototypes and declarations.
- Because of extra data in Module, Intrinsic::getName needs an extra Module* argument and, for speed, an optional FunctionType* argument.
- I still kept the original two-argument 'Intrinsic::getName' around which keeps the original behavior (providing the base name).
-- Main reason is that I did not want to change the LLVMIntrinsicGetName version, as I don't know how acceptable such a change is
-- The current situation already has a limitation. So that should not get worse with this patch.
- Intrinsic::getDeclaration and the verifier are now using the new version.
Other notes:
- As far as I see, this should not suffer from stability issues. The count is only added for prototypes depending on at least one anonymous struct
- The initial count starts from 0 for each intrinsic mangled name.
- In case of name clashes, existing prototypes are remembered and reused when that makes sense.

Recently we improved the lowering of low overhead loops and tail
predicated loops, but concentrated first on the DLS do style loops. This
extends those improvements over to the WLS while loops, improving the
chance of lowering them successfully. To do this the lowering has to
change a little as the instructions are terminators that produce a value
- something that needs to be treated carefully.
Lowering starts at the Hardware Loop pass, inserting a new
llvm.test.start.loop.iterations that produces both an i1 to control the
loop entry and an i32 similar to the llvm.start.loop.iterations
intrinsic added for do loops. This feeds into the loop phi, properly
gluing the values together:
%wls = call { i32, i1 } @llvm.test.start.loop.iterations.i32(i32 %div)
%wls0 = extractvalue { i32, i1 } %wls, 0
%wls1 = extractvalue { i32, i1 } %wls, 1
br i1 %wls1, label %loop.ph, label %loop.exit
...
loop:
%lsr.iv = phi i32 [ %wls0, %loop.ph ], [ %iv.next, %loop ]
..
%iv.next = call i32 @llvm.loop.decrement.reg.i32(i32 %lsr.iv, i32 1)
%cmp = icmp ne i32 %iv.next, 0
br i1 %cmp, label %loop, label %loop.exit
The llvm.test.start.loop.iterations need to be lowered through ISel
lowering as a pair of WLS and WLSSETUP nodes, which each get converted
to t2WhileLoopSetup and t2WhileLoopStart Pseudos. This helps prevent
t2WhileLoopStart from being a terminator that produces a value,
something difficult to control at that stage in the pipeline. Instead
the t2WhileLoopSetup produces the value of LR (essentially acting as a
lr = subs rn, 0), t2WhileLoopStart consumes that lr value (the Bcc).
These are then converted into a single t2WhileLoopStartLR at the same
point as t2DoLoopStartTP and t2LoopEndDec. Otherwise we revert the loop
to prevent them from progressing further in the pipeline. The
t2WhileLoopStartLR is a single instruction that takes a GPR and produces
LR, similar to the WLS instruction.
%1:gprlr = t2WhileLoopStartLR %0:rgpr, %bb.3
t2B %bb.1
...
bb.2.loop:
%2:gprlr = PHI %1:gprlr, %bb.1, %3:gprlr, %bb.2
...
%3:gprlr = t2LoopEndDec %2:gprlr, %bb.2
t2B %bb.3
The t2WhileLoopStartLR can then be treated similar to the other low
overhead loop pseudos, eventually being lowered to a WLS providing the
branches are within range.

This patch introduces a new intrinsic @llvm.experimental.vector.splice
that constructs a vector of the same type as the two input vectors,
based on a immediate where the sign of the immediate distinguishes two
variants. A positive immediate specifies an index into the first vector
and a negative immediate specifies the number of trailing elements to
extract from the first vector.
For example:
@llvm.experimental.vector.splice(<A,B,C,D>, <E,F,G,H>, 1) ==> <B, C, D, E> ; index
@llvm.experimental.vector.splice(<A,B,C,D>, <E,F,G,H>, -3) ==> <B, C, D, E> ; trailing element count
These intrinsics support both fixed and scalable vectors, where the
former is lowered to a shufflevector to maintain existing behaviour,
although while marked as experimental the recommended way to express
this operation for fixed-width vectors is to use shufflevector. For
scalable vectors where it is not possible to express a shufflevector
mask for this operation, a new ISD node has been implemented.
This is one of the named shufflevector intrinsics proposed on the

This patch should not result in any immediate functional change; it allows for

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

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.”

This reverts commit ed4718eccb.
This patch adds a new intrinsic experimental.vector.reduce that takes a single
vector and returns a vector of matching type but with the original lane order
reversed. For example:
```
vector.reverse(<A,B,C,D>) ==> <D,C,B,A>
```
The new intrinsic supports fixed and scalable vectors types.
The fixed-width vector relies on shufflevector to maintain existing behaviour.
Scalable vector uses the new ISD node - VECTOR_REVERSE.
This new intrinsic is one of the named shufflevector intrinsics proposed on the
mailing-list in the RFC at [1].

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.

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.

Currently LLVM is relying on ValueTracking's `isKnownNonZero` to attach `nonnull`, which can return true when the value is poison.
To make the semantics of `nonnull` consistent with the behavior of `isKnownNonZero`, this makes the semantics of `nonnull` to accept poison, and return poison if the input pointer isn't null.
This makes many transformations like below legal:
```
%p = gep inbounds %x, 1 ; % p is non-null pointer or poison
call void @f(%p) ; instcombine converts this to call void @f(nonnull %p)
```
Instead, this semantics makes propagation of `nonnull` to caller illegal.
The reason is that, passing poison to `nonnull` does not immediately raise UB anymore, so such program is still well defined, if the callee does not use the argument.
Having `noundef` attribute there re-allows this.
```
define void @f(i8* %p) { ; functionattr cannot mark %p nonnull here anymore
call void @g(i8* nonnull %p) ; .. because @g never raises UB if it never uses %p.
ret void
}
```
Another attribute that needs to be updated is `align`. This patch updates the semantics of align to accept poison as well.

This patch adds support for the fptoui.sat and fptosi.sat intrinsics,
which provide basically the same functionality as the existing fptoui
and fptosi instructions, but will saturate (or return 0 for NaN) on
values unrepresentable in the target type, instead of returning
poison. Related mailing list discussion can be found at:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/llvm-dev/cgDFaBmCnDQ/CZAIMj4IBAAJ
The intrinsics have overloaded source and result type and support
vector operands:
i32 @llvm.fptoui.sat.i32.f32(float %f)
i100 @llvm.fptoui.sat.i100.f64(double %f)
<4 x i32> @llvm.fptoui.sat.v4i32.v4f16(half %f)
// etc
On the SelectionDAG layer two new ISD opcodes are added,
FP_TO_UINT_SAT and FP_TO_SINT_SAT. These opcodes have two operands
and one result. The second operand is an integer constant specifying
the scalar saturation width. The idea here is that initially the
second operand and the scalar width of the result type are the same,
but they may change during type legalization. For example:
i19 @llvm.fptsi.sat.i19.f32(float %f)
// builds
i19 fp_to_sint_sat f, 19
// type legalizes (through integer result promotion)
i32 fp_to_sint_sat f, 19
I went for this approach, because saturated conversion does not
compose well. There is no good way of "adjusting" a saturating
conversion to i32 into one to i19 short of saturating twice.
Specifying the saturation width separately allows directly saturating
to the correct width.
There are two baseline expansions for the fp_to_xint_sat opcodes. If
the integer bounds can be exactly represented in the float type and
fminnum/fmaxnum are legal, we can expand to something like:
f = fmaxnum f, FP(MIN)
f = fminnum f, FP(MAX)
i = fptoxi f
i = select f uo f, 0, i # unnecessary if unsigned as 0 = MIN
If the bounds cannot be exactly represented, we expand to something
like this instead:
i = fptoxi f
i = select f ult FP(MIN), MIN, i
i = select f ogt FP(MAX), MAX, i
i = select f uo f, 0, i # unnecessary if unsigned as 0 = MIN
It should be noted that this expansion assumes a non-trapping fptoxi.
Initial tests are for AArch64, x86_64 and ARM. This exercises all of
the scalar and vector legalization. ARM is included to test float
softening.

Clang FE currently has hot/cold function attribute. But we only have

Currently .hot and .unlikely suffix only are added in PGO (Sample PGO)
compilation (through isFunctionHotInCallGraph and
isFunctionColdInCallGraph).
This patch changes the behavior. The new behavior is:
(1) If the user annotates a function as hot or isFunctionHotInCallGraph
is true, this function will be marked as hot. Otherwise,
(2) If the user annotates a function as cold or
isFunctionColdInCallGraph is true, this function will be marked as
cold.
The changes are:
(1) user annotated function attribute will used in setting function
section prefix/suffix.
(2) hot attribute overwrites profile count based hotness.
(3) profile count based hotness overwrite user annotated cold attribute.
The intention for these changes is to provide the user a way to mark
certain function as hot in cases where training input is hard to cover
all the hot functions.

This is similar to the existing alloca and program address spaces (D37052)

We need this in our CHERI fork of LLVM to place all globals in address space 200.
This ensures that values are accessed using CHERI load/store instructions
instead of the normal MIPS/RISC-V ones.
The problem this is trying to fix is that most of the time the type of
globals is created using a simple PointerType::getUnqual() (or ::get() with
the default address-space value of 0). This does not work for us and we get
assertion/compilation/instruction selection failures whenever a new call
is added that uses the default value of zero.
In our fork we have removed the default parameter value of zero for most
address space arguments and use DL.getProgramAddressSpace() or
DL.getGlobalsAddressSpace() whenever possible. If this change is accepted,
I will upstream follow-up patches to use DL.getGlobalsAddressSpace() instead

The `dso_local_equivalent` constant is a wrapper for functions that represents a
value which is functionally equivalent to the global passed to this. That is, if
this accepts a function, calling this constant should have the same effects as
calling the function directly. This could be a direct reference to the function,
the `@plt` modifier on X86/AArch64, a thunk, or anything that's equivalent to the
resolved function as a call target.
When lowered, the returned address must have a constant offset at link time from
some other symbol defined within the same binary. The address of this value is
also insignificant. The name is leveraged from `dso_local` where use of a function
or variable is resolved to a symbol in the same linkage unit.
In this patch:
- Addition of `dso_local_equivalent` and handling it
- Update Constant::needsRelocation() to strip constant inbound GEPs and take
advantage of `dso_local_equivalent` for relative references
This is useful for the [Relative VTables C++ ABI](https://reviews.llvm.org/D72959)
which makes vtables readonly. This works by replacing the dynamic relocations for
function pointers in them with static relocations that represent the offset between
the vtable and virtual functions. If a function is externally defined,
`dso_local_equivalent` can be used as a generic wrapper for the function to still
allow for this static offset calculation to be done.

insight into transformations applied to a program.
To motivate this, consider these specific questions we would like to get answered:
* How many stores added for automatic variable initialization remain after optimizations? Where are they?
* How many runtime checks inserted by a frontend could be eliminated? Where are the ones that did not get eliminated?
Discussed on llvm-dev as part of 'RFC: Combining Annotation Metadata and Remarks'
