* Allow alias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr.Rafael Espindola2014-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not. This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot them, but it also lets us do things like @test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32), i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*) An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc). Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *". It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@210062 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* [pr19844] Add thread local mode to aliases.Rafael Espindola2014-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | This matches gcc's behavior. It also seems natural given that aliases contain other properties that govern how it is accessed (linkage, visibility, dll storage). Clang still has to be updated to expose this feature to C. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@209759 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* AArch64/ARM64: move ARM64 into AArch64's placeTim Northover2014-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit starts with a "git mv ARM64 AArch64" and continues out from there, renaming the C++ classes, intrinsics, and other target-local objects for consistency. "ARM64" test directories are also moved, and tests that began their life in ARM64 use an arm64 triple, those from AArch64 use an aarch64 triple. Both should be equivalent though. This finishes the AArch64 merge, and everyone should feel free to continue committing as normal now. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@209577 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* Add comdat key field to llvm.global_ctors and llvm.global_dtorsReid Kleckner2014-05-16

| | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the infrastructure to use named register constructs in programs that need access to specific registers (bare metal, kernels, etc).

* Prevent alias from pointing to weak aliases.Rafael Espindola2014-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds back r204781. Original message: Aliases are just another name for a position in a file. As such, the regular symbol resolutions are not applied. For example, given define void @my_func() { ret void } @my_alias = alias weak void ()* @my_func @my_alias2 = alias void ()* @my_alias We produce without this patch: .weak my_alias my_alias = my_func .globl my_alias2 my_alias2 = my_alias That is, in the resulting ELF file my_alias, my_func and my_alias are just 3 names pointing to offset 0 of .text. That is *not* the semantics of IR linking. For example, linking in a @my_alias = alias void ()* @other_func would require the strong my_alias to override the weak one and my_alias2 would end up pointing to other_func. There is no way to represent that with aliases being just another name, so the best solution seems to be to just disallow it, converting a miscompile into an error. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@204934 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* Change @llvm.clear_cache default to call rt-libRenato Golin2014-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | After some discussion on IRC, emitting a call to the library function seems like a better default, since it will move from a compiler internal error to a linker error, that the user can work around until LLVM is fixed. I'm also adding a note on the responsibility of the user to confirm that the cache was cleared on platforms where nothing is done. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@204806 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Updating LangRef and adding some tests for the implemented architectures. Other archs will have to implement the method in case this builtin has to be compiled for it, since the default behaviour is to bail unimplemented.

* Remove the linker_private and linker_private_weak linkages.Rafael Espindola2014-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These linkages were introduced some time ago, but it was never very clear what exactly their semantics were or what they should be used for. Some investigation found these uses: * utf-16 strings in clang. * non-unnamed_addr strings produced by the sanitizers. It turns out they were just working around a more fundamental problem. For some sections a MachO linker needs a symbol in order to split the section into atoms, and llvm had no idea that was the case. I fixed that in r201700 and it is now safe to use the private linkage. When the object ends up in a section that requires symbols, llvm will use a 'l' prefix instead of a 'L' prefix and things just work. With that, these linkages were already dead, but there was a potential future user in the objc metadata information. I am still looking at CGObjcMac.cpp, but at this point I am convinced that linker_private and linker_private_weak are not what they need. The objc uses are currently split in * Regular symbols (no '\01' prefix). LLVM already directly provides whatever semantics they need. * Uses of a private name (start with "\01L" or "\01l") and private linkage. We can drop the "\01L" and "\01l" prefixes as soon as llvm agrees with clang on L being ok or not for a given section. I have two patches in code review for this. * Uses of private name and weak linkage. The last case is the one that one could think would fit one of these linkages. That is not the case. The semantics are * the linker will merge these symbol by *name*. * the linker will hide them in the final DSO. Given that the merging is done by name, any of the private (or internal) linkages would be a bad match. They allow llvm to rename the symbols, and that is really not what we want. From the llvm point of view, these objects should really be (linkonce|weak)(_odr)?. For now, just keeping the "\01l" prefix is probably the best for these symbols. If we one day want to have a more direct support in llvm, IMHO what we should add is not a linkage, it is just a hidden_symbol attribute. It would be applicable to multiple linkages. For example, on weak it would produce the current behavior we have for objc metadata. On internal, it would be equivalent to private (and we should then remove private). git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@203866 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* Reject alias to undefined symbols in the verifier.Rafael Espindola2014-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On ELF and COFF an alias is just another name for a position in the file. There is no way to refer to a position in another file, so an alias to undefined is meaningless. MachO currently doesn't support aliases. The spec has a N_INDR, which when implemented will have a different set of restrictions. Adding support for it shouldn't be harder than any other IR extension. For now, having the IR represent what is actually possible with current tools makes it easier to fix the design of GlobalAlias. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@203705 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* IR: add a second ordering operand to cmpxhg for failureTim Northover2014-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The syntax for "cmpxchg" should now look something like: cmpxchg i32* %addr, i32 42, i32 3 acquire monotonic where the second ordering argument gives the required semantics in the case that no exchange takes place. It should be no stronger than the first ordering constraint and cannot be either "release" or "acq_rel" (since no store will have taken place). rdar://problem/15996804 git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@203559 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* IR: Change inalloca's grammar a bitDavid Majnemer2014-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The grammar for LLVM IR is not well specified in any document but seems to obey the following rules: - Attributes which have parenthesized arguments are never preceded by commas. This form of attribute is the only one which ever has optional arguments. However, not all of these attributes support optional arguments: 'thread_local' supports an optional argument but 'addrspace' does not. Interestingly, 'addrspace' is documented as being a "qualifier". What constitutes a qualifier? I cannot find a definition. - Some attributes use a space between the keyword and the value. Examples of this form are 'align' and 'section'. These are always preceded by a comma. - Otherwise, the attribute has no argument. These attributes do not have a preceding comma. Sometimes an attribute goes before the instruction, between the instruction and it's type, or after it's type. 'atomicrmw' has 'volatile' between the instruction and the type while 'call' has 'tail' preceding the instruction. With all this in mind, it seems most consistent for 'inalloca' on an 'inalloca' instruction to occur before between the instruction and the type. Unlike the current formulation, there would be no preceding comma. The combination 'alloca inalloca' doesn't look particularly appetizing, perhaps a better spelling of 'inalloca' is down the road. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@203376 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

We can simplify this away, as it does not provide useful information in the example. - Use named instructions instead of '%0'. This is nicer, but more importantly this makes the IR valid. Before we had two assignments to %0 in a single example. - Add a missing branch instruction to make the loop structure clear. - Move one access into outer.for.body to make it not look that empty. - The statments that are only in the outer loop body should not reference the inner loop metadata, but only the outer loop. Only statements in both loops should reference both surrounding loops. - Rename the array indexes to make them all independent. Before there were identical array indexes in the inner and the outer loop. We want to avoid this special case as it may lead to confusion. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@202973 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* Add two new calling conventions for runtime callsJuergen Ributzka2014-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds two new target-independent calling conventions for runtime calls - PreserveMost and PreserveAll. The target-specific implementation for X86-64 is defined as following: - Arguments are passed as for the default C calling convention - The same applies for the return value(s) - PreserveMost preserves all GPRs - except R11 - PreserveAll preserves all GPRs and all XMMs/YMMs - except R11 Reviewed by Lang and Philip git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@199508 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* Change inalloca rules to make it only apply to the last parameterReid Kleckner2014-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | This makes things a lot easier, because we can now talk about the "argument allocation", which allocates all the memory for the call in one shot. The only functional change is to the verifier for a feature that hasn't shipped yet. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@199434 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* LangRef.rst: fix LangRef data layout text about m specifier, take 2Hans Wennborg2014-01-15

* LangRef: attempt to fix line breaksHans Wennborg2014-01-15
| | | | | | | The line breaks around the "m:<mangling>" text in the Data Layout section look weird. Let's see if this helps. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@199285 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* Decouple dllexport/dllimport from linkageNico Rieck2014-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Representing dllexport/dllimport as distinct linkage types prevents using these attributes on templates and inline functions. Instead of introducing further mixed linkage types to include linkonce and weak ODR, the old import/export linkage types are replaced with a new separate visibility-like specifier: define available_externally dllimport void @f() {} @Var = dllexport global i32 1, align 4 Linkage for dllexported globals and functions is now equal to their linkage without dllexport. Imported globals and functions must be either declarations with external linkage, or definitions with AvailableExternallyLinkage. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@199218 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* Revert "Decouple dllexport/dllimport from linkage"Nico Rieck2014-01-14
| | | | | | | | Revert this for now until I fix an issue in Clang with it. This reverts commit r199204. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@199207 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* Use 'w' instead of 'c' to represent the win32 mangling.Rafael Espindola2014-01-10
| | | | | | | This change was requested to avoid confusion if we ever support non windows coff systems. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@198938 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* Make the llvm mangler depend only on DataLayout.Rafael Espindola2014-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this patch any program that wanted to know the final symbol name of a GlobalValue had to link with Target. This patch implements a compromise solution where the mangler uses DataLayout. This way, any tool that already links with Target (llc, clang) gets the exact behavior as before and new IR files can be mangled without linking with Target. With this patch the mangler is constructed with just a DataLayout and DataLayout is extended to include the information the Mangler needs. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@198438 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
