Summary:
For builds with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
this change makes all symbols in the target specific libraries hidden
by default.
A new macro called LLVM_EXTERNAL_VISIBILITY has been added to mark symbols in these
libraries public, which is mainly needed for the definitions of the
LLVMInitialize* functions.
This patch reduces the number of public symbols in libLLVM.so by about
25%. This should improve load times for the dynamic library and also
make abi checker tools, like abidiff require less memory when analyzing
libLLVM.so
One side-effect of this change is that for builds with
LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON some unittests that
access symbols that are no longer public will need to be statically linked.
Before and after public symbol counts (using gcc 8.2.1, ld.bfd 2.31.1):
nm before/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
36221
nm after/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
26278

To-do
-----
* Keep the address of the constant pool in a register instead of forming its
address all of the time.
* We can fold small constant offsets into the %hi/%lo references to constant
pool addresses as well.
* When in V9 mode, register allocate %icc[0-3].
* Add support for isel'ing UMUL_LOHI instead of marking it as Expand.
* Emit the 'Branch on Integer Register with Prediction' instructions. It's
not clear how to write a pattern for this though:
float %t1(int %a, int* %p) {
%C = seteq int %a, 0
br bool %C, label %T, label %F
T:
store int 123, int* %p
br label %F
F:
ret float undef
}
codegens to this:
t1:
save -96, %o6, %o6
1) subcc %i0, 0, %l0
1) bne .LBBt1_2 ! F
nop
.LBBt1_1: ! T
or %g0, 123, %l0
st %l0, [%i1]
.LBBt1_2: ! F
restore %g0, %g0, %g0
retl
nop
1) should be replaced with a brz in V9 mode.
* Same as above, but emit conditional move on register zero (p192) in V9
mode. Testcase:
int %t1(int %a, int %b) {
%C = seteq int %a, 0
%D = select bool %C, int %a, int %b
ret int %D
}
* Emit MULX/[SU]DIVX instructions in V9 mode instead of fiddling
with the Y register, if they are faster.
* Codegen bswap(load)/store(bswap) -> load/store ASI
* Implement frame pointer elimination, e.g. eliminate save/restore for
leaf fns.
* Fill delay slots
* Use %g0 directly to materialize 0. No instruction is required.
