Clang FE currently has hot/cold function attribute. But we only have
cold function attribute in LLVM IR.
This patch adds support of hot function attribute to LLVM IR. This
attribute will be used in setting function section prefix/suffix.
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.

Currently the backend special cases x86_intrcc and treats the first
parameter as byval. Make the IR require byval for this parameter to
remove this special case, and avoid the dependence on the pointee
element type.
Fixes bug 46672.
I'm not sure the IR is enforcing all the calling convention
constraints. clang seems to ignore the attribute for empty parameter
lists, but the IR tolerates it.
This commit adds two new intrinsics.
- llvm.experimental.vector.insert: used to insert a vector into another
vector starting at a given index.
- llvm.experimental.vector.extract: used to extract a subvector from a
larger vector starting from a given index.
The codegen work for these intrinsics has already been completed; this

The intended uses cases for this new metadata is annotating
'interesting' instructions and the remarks should provide additional

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?

It's currently ambiguous in IR whether the source language explicitly
did not want a stack a stack protector (in C, via function attribute
no_stack_protector) or doesn't care for any given function.
It's common for code that manipulates the stack via inline assembly or
that has to set up its own stack canary (such as the Linux kernel) would
like to avoid stack protectors in certain functions. In this case, we've
been bitten by numerous bugs where a callee with a stack protector is
inlined into an __attribute__((__no_stack_protector__)) caller, which
generally breaks the caller's assumptions about not having a stack
protector. LTO exacerbates the issue.
While developers can avoid this by putting all no_stack_protector
functions in one translation unit together and compiling those with
-fno-stack-protector, it's generally not very ergonomic or as
ergonomic as a function attribute, and still doesn't work for LTO. See also:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20200915172658.1432732-1-rkir@google.com/https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200918201436.2932360-30-samitolvanen@google.com/T/#u
Typically, when inlining a callee into a caller, the caller will be
upgraded in its level of stack protection (see adjustCallerSSPLevel()).
By adding an explicit attribute in the IR when the function attribute is
used in the source language, we can now identify such cases and prevent
inlining. Block inlining when the callee and caller differ in the case that one
contains `nossp` when the other has `ssp`, `sspstrong`, or `sspreq`.

This code becomes dead for valid IR after 48f4312 and a96fc46. The reason for the test change is that the verifier reports the first verification error encountered, in some non-specified visit order. By removing the verification code in gc.relocates for a statepoint with inline gc operands, I change the error the verifier reports. And in one case, the checked for error is no longer possible with the bundle representation, so I simply delete the file.
The "gc-live" operand bundles were recently added, and all tests have been updated to use that format. A migration period was provided, though it's worth noting these intrinsics are experimental, so formally there is no compatibile requirement.
This is an extension to a96fc46. "gc-live" hadn't been implemented at the point that patch was initially posted.
(Forgot to land this a couple of weeks back.)
In a recent series of changes, I've introduced support for using the respective operand bundle kinds on the statepoint. At the moment, code supports either/or, but there's no need to keep the old support around. For the moment, I am simply changing the specification and verifier to require zero length argument sets in the intrinsic.
The intrinsic itself is experimental. Given that, there's no forward serialization needed. The in tree uses and generation have already been updated to use the new operand bundle based forms, the only folks broken by the change will be those with frontends generating statepoints directly and the updates should be easy.
Why not go ahead and just remove the arguments entirely? Well, I plan to. But while working on this I've found that almost all of the arguments to the statepoint can be expressed via operand bundles or attributes. Given that, I'm planning a radical simplification of the arguments and figured I'd do one update not several small ones.

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.
This changes the matrix load/store intrinsic definitions to load/store from/to
a pointer, and not from/to a pointer to a vector, as discussed in D83477.
This also includes the recommit of "[Matrix] Tighten LangRef definitions and
Verifier checks" which adds improved language reference descriptions of the
matrix intrinsics and verifier checks.

This patch adjust the load/store matrix intrinsics, formerly known as
llvm.matrix.columnwise.load/store, to improve the naming and allow
passing of extra information (volatile).
The patch performs the following changes:
* Rename columnwise.load/store to column.major.load/store. This is more
expressive and also more in line with the naming in Clang.
* Changes the stride arguments from i32 to i64. The stride can be
larger than i32 and this makes things more uniform with the way
things are handled in Clang.
* A new boolean argument is added to indicate whether the load/store
is volatile. The lowering respects that when emitting vector
load/store instructions
* MatrixBuilder is updated to require both Alignment and IsVolatile
arguments, which are passed through to the generated intrinsic. The
alignment is set using the `align` attribute.
The changes are grouped together in a single patch, to have a single
commit that breaks the compatibility. We probably should be fine with
updating the intrinsics, as we did not yet officially support them in
the last stable release. If there are any concerns, we can add
auto-upgrade rules for the columnwise intrinsics though.
