Recent shouldAssumeDSOLocal changes (introduced by 961f31d8ad)
do not take in consideration the relocation model anymore. The ARM
fast-isel pass uses the function return to set whether a global symbol
is loaded indirectly or not, and without the expected information
llvm now generates an extra load for following code:
```
$ cat test.ll
@__asan_option_detect_stack_use_after_return = external global i32
define dso_local i32 @main(i32 %argc, i8** %argv) #0 {
entry:
%0 = load i32, i32* @__asan_option_detect_stack_use_after_return,
align 4
%1 = icmp ne i32 %0, 0
br i1 %1, label %2, label %3
2:
ret i32 0
3:
ret i32 1
}
attributes #0 = { noinline optnone }
$ lcc test.ll -o -
[...]
main:
.fnstart
[...]
movw r0, :lower16:__asan_option_detect_stack_use_after_return
movt r0, :upper16:__asan_option_detect_stack_use_after_return
ldr r0, [r0]
ldr r0, [r0]
cmp r0, #0
[...]
```
And without 'optnone' it produces:
```
[...]
main:
.fnstart
[...]
movw r0, :lower16:__asan_option_detect_stack_use_after_return
movt r0, :upper16:__asan_option_detect_stack_use_after_return
ldr r0, [r0]
clz r0, r0
lsr r0, r0, #5
bx lr
[...]
```
This triggered a lot of invalid memory access in sanitizers for
arm-linux-gnueabihf. I checked this patch both a stage1 built with
gcc and a stage2 bootstrap and it fixes all the Linux sanitizers
issues.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its sub-directories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The README briefly describes how to get started with building LLVM. For more information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Getting Started with the LLVM System
Taken from https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.
Overview
Welcome to the LLVM project!
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and converts it into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. It also contains basic regression tests.
C-like languages use the Clang front end. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date. The Clang Getting Started page might have more accurate information.
This is an example work-flow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related sub-projects like Clang):
-
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git -
Or, on windows,
git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
-
Configure and build LLVM and Clang:
-
cd llvm-project -
mkdir build -
cd build -
cmake -G <generator> [options] ../llvmSome common build system generators are:
Ninja--- for generating Ninja build files. Most llvm developers use Ninja.Unix Makefiles--- for generating make-compatible parallel makefiles.Visual Studio--- for generating Visual Studio projects and solutions.Xcode--- for generating Xcode projects.
Some Common options:
-
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='...'--- semicolon-separated list of the LLVM sub-projects you'd like to additionally build. Can include any of: clang, clang-tools-extra, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, lldb, compiler-rt, lld, polly, or debuginfo-tests.For example, to build LLVM, Clang, libcxx, and libcxxabi, use
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;libcxx;libcxxabi". -
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=directory--- Specify for directory the full path name of where you want the LLVM tools and libraries to be installed (default/usr/local). -
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type--- Valid options for type are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, and MinSizeRel. Default is Debug. -
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=On--- Compile with assertion checks enabled (default is Yes for Debug builds, No for all other build types).
-
cmake --build . [-- [options] <target>]or your build system specified above directly.-
The default target (i.e.
ninjaormake) will build all of LLVM. -
The
check-alltarget (i.e.ninja check-all) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order. -
CMake will generate targets for each tool and library, and most LLVM sub-projects generate their own
check-<project>target. -
Running a serial build will be slow. To improve speed, try running a parallel build. That's done by default in Ninja; for
make, use the option-j NNN, whereNNNis the number of parallel jobs, e.g. the number of CPUs you have.
