Summary:
Right now we annotate C++'s `operator new` with `noalias` attribute,
which very much is healthy for optimizations.
However as per [[ http://eel.is/c++draft/basic.stc.dynamic.allocation | `[basic.stc.dynamic.allocation]` ]],
there are more promises on global `operator new`, namely:
* non-`std::nothrow_t` `operator new` *never* returns `nullptr`
* If `std::align_val_t align` parameter is taken, the pointer will also be `align`-aligned
* ~~global `operator new`-returned pointer is `__STDCPP_DEFAULT_NEW_ALIGNMENT__`-aligned ~~ It's more caveated than that.
Supplying this information may not cause immediate landslide effects
on any specific benchmarks, but it for sure will be healthy for optimizer
in the sense that the IR will better reflect the guarantees provided in the source code.
The caveat is `-fno-assume-sane-operator-new`, which currently prevents emitting `noalias`
attribute, and is automatically passed by Sanitizers ([[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16386 | PR16386 ]]) - should it also cover these attributes?
The problem is that the flag is back-end-specific, as seen in `test/Modules/explicit-build-flags.cpp`.
But while it is okay to add `noalias` metadata in backend, we really should be adding at least
the alignment metadata to the AST, since that allows us to perform sema checks on it.

This PR enables "XL" C++ ABI in frontend AST to IR codegen. And it is driven by
static init work. The current kind in Clang by default is Generic Itanium, which
has different behavior on static init with IBM xlclang compiler on AIX.

Implement protection against the stack clash attack [0] through inline stack
probing.
Probe stack allocation every PAGE_SIZE during frame lowering or dynamic
allocation to make sure the page guard, if any, is touched when touching the
stack, in a similar manner to GCC[1].
This extends the existing `probe-stack' mechanism with a special value `inline-asm'.
Technically the former uses function call before stack allocation while this
patch provides inlined stack probes and chunk allocation.
Only implemented for x86.

AMDGPU and x86 at least both have separate controls for whether
denormal results are flushed on output, and for whether denormals are
implicitly treated as 0 as an input. The current DAGCombiner use only
really cares about the input treatment of denormals.
Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

First attempt at implementing -fsemantic-interposition.
Rely on GlobalValue::isInterposable that already captures most of the expected
behavior.
Rely on a ModuleFlag to state whether we should respect SemanticInterposition or
not. The default remains no.
So this should be a no-op if -fsemantic-interposition isn't used, and if it is,
isInterposable being already used in most optimisation, they should honor it
properly.
Note that it only impacts architecture compiled with -fPIC and no pie.

This is how it should've been and brings it more in line with
std::string_view. There should be no functional change here.
This is mostly mechanical from a custom clang-tidy check, with a lot of
manual fixups. It uncovers a lot of minor inefficiencies.
This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
Summary:
First patch to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization Enablement,
see RFC here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
Always emit !vcall_visibility metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
and not just for -fvirtual-function-elimination. The vcall visibility
metadata will (in a subsequent patch) be used to communicate to WPD
which vtables are safe to devirtualize, and we will optionally convert
the metadata to hidden visibility at link time. Subsequent follow on
patches will help enable this by adding vcall_visibility metadata to the
ThinLTO summaries, and always emit type test intrinsics under
-fwhole-program-vtables (and not just for vtables with hidden
visibility).
In order to do this safely with VFE, since for VFE all vtable loads must
be type checked loads which will no longer be the case, this patch adds
a new "Virtual Function Elim" module flag to communicate to GlobalDCE
whether to perform VFE using the vcall_visibility metadata.
One additional advantage of using the vcall_visibility metadata to drive
more WPD at LTO link time is that we can use the same mechanism to
enable more aggressive VFE at LTO link time as well. The link time
option proposed in the RFC will convert vcall_visibility metadata to
hidden (aka linkage unit visibility), which combined with
-fvirtual-function-elimination will allow it to be done more
aggressively at LTO link time under the same conditions.

Currently there are 4 different mechanisms for controlling denormal
flushing behavior, and about as many equivalent frontend controls.
- AMDGPU uses the fp32-denormals and fp64-f16-denormals subtarget features
- NVPTX uses the nvptx-f32ftz attribute
- ARM directly uses the denormal-fp-math attribute
- Other targets indirectly use denormal-fp-math in one DAGCombine
- cl-denorms-are-zero has a corresponding denorms-are-zero attribute
AMDGPU wants a distinct control for f32 flushing from f16/f64, and as
far as I can tell the same is true for NVPTX (based on the attribute
name).
Work on consolidating these into the denormal-fp-math attribute, and a
new type specific denormal-fp-math-f32 variant. Only ARM seems to
support the two different flush modes, so this is overkill for the
other use cases. Ideally we would error on the unsupported
positive-zero mode on other targets from somewhere.
Move the logic for selecting the flush mode into the compiler driver,
instead of handling it in cc1. denormal-fp-math/denormal-fp-math-f32
are now both cc1 flags, but denormal-fp-math-f32 is not yet exposed as
a user flag.
-cl-denorms-are-zero, -fcuda-flush-denormals-to-zero and
-fno-cuda-flush-denormals-to-zero will be mapped to
-fp-denormal-math-f32=ieee or preserve-sign rather than the old
attributes.
Stop emitting the denorms-are-zero attribute for the OpenCL flag. It
has no in-tree users. The meaning would also be target dependent, such
as the AMDGPU choice to treat this as only meaning allow flushing of
f32 and not f16 or f64. The naming is also potentially confusing,
since DAZ in other contexts refers to instructions implicitly treating
input denormals as zero, not necessarily flushing output denormals to
zero.
This also does not attempt to change the behavior for the current
attribute. The LangRef now states that the default is ieee behavior,
but this is inaccurate for the current implementation. The clang
handling is slightly hacky to avoid touching the existing
denormal-fp-math uses. Fixing this will be left for a future patch.
AMDGPU is still using the subtarget feature to control the denormal
mode, but the new attribute are now emitted. A future change will
switch this and remove the subtarget features.
The option will limit debug info by only emitting complete class
type information when its constructor is emitted.
This patch changes comparisons with LimitedDebugInfo to use the new
level instead.

If a system header provides an (inline) implementation of some of their
function, clang still matches on the function name and generate the appropriate
llvm builtin, e.g. memcpy. This behavior is in line with glibc recommendation «
users may not provide their own version of symbols » but doesn't account for the
fact that glibc itself can provide inline version of some functions.
It is the case for the memcpy function when -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 is on. In that
case an inline version of memcpy calls __memcpy_chk, a function that performs
extra runtime checks. Clang currently ignores the inline version and thus
provides no runtime check.
This code fixes the issue by detecting functions whose name is a builtin name
but also have an inline implementation.
