      Initial implementation of optimization bisect support. · f0f27929
      Andrew Kaylor authored
      This patch implements a optimization bisect feature, which will allow optimizations to be selectively disabled at compile time in order to track down test failures that are caused by incorrect optimizations.
      
      The bisection is enabled using a new command line option (-opt-bisect-limit).  Individual passes that may be skipped call the OptBisect object (via an LLVMContext) to see if they should be skipped based on the bisect limit.  A finer level of control (disabling individual transformations) can be managed through an addition OptBisect method, but this is not yet used.
      
      The skip checking in this implementation is based on (and replaces) the skipOptnoneFunction check.  Where that check was being called, a new call has been inserted in its place which checks the bisect limit and the optnone attribute.  A new function call has been added for module and SCC passes that behaves in a similar way.

      [AA] Hoist the logic to reformulate various AA queries in terms of other · 12884f7f
      Chandler Carruth authored
      parts of the AA interface out of the base class of every single AA
      result object.
      
      Because this logic reformulates the query in terms of some other aspect
      of the API, it would easily cause O(n^2) query patterns in alias
      analysis. These could in turn be magnified further based on the number
      of call arguments, and then further based on the number of AA queries
      made for a particular call. This ended up causing problems for Rust that
      were actually noticable enough to get a bug (PR26564) and probably other
      places as well.
      
      When originally re-working the AA infrastructure, the desire was to
      regularize the pattern of refinement without losing any generality.
      While I think it was successful, that is clearly proving to be too
      costly. And the cost is needless: we gain no actual improvement for this
      generality of making a direct query to tbaa actually be able to
      re-use some other alias analysis's refinement logic for one of the other
      APIs, or some such. In short, this is entirely wasted work.
      
      To the extent possible, delegation to other API surfaces should be done
      at the aggregation layer so that we can avoid re-walking the
      aggregation. In fact, this significantly simplifies the logic as we no
      longer need to smuggle the aggregation layer into each alias analysis
      (or the TargetLibraryInfo into each alias analysis just so we can form
      argument memory locations!).
      
      However, we also have some delegation logic inside of BasicAA and some
      of it even makes sense. When the delegation logic is baking in specific
      knowledge of aliasing properties of the LLVM IR, as opposed to simply
      reformulating the query to utilize a different alias analysis interface
      entry point, it makes a lot of sense to restrict that logic to
      a different layer such as BasicAA. So one aspect of the delegation that
      was in every AA base class is that when we don't have operand bundles,
      we re-use function AA results as a fallback for callsite alias results.
      This relies on the IR properties of calls and functions w.r.t. aliasing,
      and so seems a better fit to BasicAA. I've lifted the logic up to that
      point where it seems to be a natural fit. This still does a bit of
      redundant work (we query function attributes twice, once via the
      callsite and once via the function AA query) but it is *exactly* twice
      here, no more.
      
      The end result is that all of the delegation logic is hoisted out of the
      base class and into either the aggregation layer when it is a pure
      retargeting to a different API surface, or into BasicAA when it relies
      on the IR's aliasing properties. This should fix the quadratic query
      pattern reported in PR26564, although I don't have a stand-alone test
      case to reproduce it.
      
      It also seems general goodness. Now the numerous AAs that don't need
      target library info don't carry it around and depend on it. I think
      I can even rip out the general access to the aggregation layer and only
      expose that in BasicAA as it is the only place where we re-query in that
      manner.
      
      However, this is a non-trivial change to the AA infrastructure so I want
      to get some additional eyes on this before it lands. Sadly, it can't
      wait long because we should really cherry pick this into 3.8 if we're
      going to go this route.

      Add an "addUsedAAAnalyses" helper function · 1c481f50
      Sanjoy Das authored
      Summary:
      Passes that call `getAnalysisIfAvailable<T>` also need to call
      `addUsedIfAvailable<T>` in `getAnalysisUsage` to indicate to the
      legacy pass manager that it uses `T`.  This contract was being
      violated by passes that used `createLegacyPMAAResults`.  This change
      fixes this by exposing a helper in AliasAnalysis.h,
      `addUsedAAAnalyses`, that is complementary to createLegacyPMAAResults
      and does the right thing when called from `getAnalysisUsage`.

      [PM/AA] Rebuild LLVM's alias analysis infrastructure in a way compatible · 7b560d40
      Chandler Carruth authored
      with the new pass manager, and no longer relying on analysis groups.
      
      This builds essentially a ground-up new AA infrastructure stack for
      LLVM. The core ideas are the same that are used throughout the new pass
      manager: type erased polymorphism and direct composition. The design is
      as follows:
      
      - FunctionAAResults is a type-erasing alias analysis results aggregation
        interface to walk a single query across a range of results from
        different alias analyses. Currently this is function-specific as we
        always assume that aliasing queries are *within* a function.
      
      - AAResultBase is a CRTP utility providing stub implementations of
        various parts of the alias analysis result concept, notably in several
        cases in terms of other more general parts of the interface. This can
        be used to implement only a narrow part of the interface rather than
        the entire interface. This isn't really ideal, this logic should be
        hoisted into FunctionAAResults as currently it will cause
        a significant amount of redundant work, but it faithfully models the
        behavior of the prior infrastructure.
      
      - All the alias analysis passes are ported to be wrapper passes for the
        legacy PM and new-style analysis passes for the new PM with a shared
        result object. In some cases (most notably CFL), this is an extremely
        naive approach that we should revisit when we can specialize for the
        new pass manager.
      
      - BasicAA has been restructured to reflect that it is much more
        fundamentally a function analysis because it uses dominator trees and
        loop info that need to be constructed for each function.
      
      All of the references to getting alias analysis results have been
      updated to use the new aggregation interface. All the preservation and
      other pass management code has been updated accordingly.
      
      The way the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass works is to detect the
      available alias analyses when run, and add them to the results object.
      This means that we should be able to continue to respect when various
      passes are added to the pipeline, for example adding CFL or adding TBAA
      passes should just cause their results to be available and to get folded
      into this. The exception to this rule is BasicAA which really needs to
      be a function pass due to using dominator trees and loop info. As
      a consequence, the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass directly depends on
      BasicAA and always includes it in the aggregation.
      
      This has significant implications for preserving analyses. Generally,
      most passes shouldn't bother preserving FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass
      because rebuilding the results just updates the set of known AA passes.
      The exception to this rule are LoopPass instances which need to preserve
      all the function analyses that the loop pass manager will end up
      needing. This means preserving both BasicAAWrapperPass and the
      aggregating FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass.
      
      Now, when preserving an alias analysis, you do so by directly preserving
      that analysis. This is only necessary for non-immutable-pass-provided
      alias analyses though, and there are only three of interest: BasicAA,
      GlobalsAA (formerly GlobalsModRef), and SCEVAA. Usually BasicAA is
      preserved when needed because it (like DominatorTree and LoopInfo) is
      marked as a CFG-only pass. I've expanded GlobalsAA into the preserved
      set everywhere we previously were preserving all of AliasAnalysis, and
      I've added SCEVAA in the intersection of that with where we preserve
      SCEV itself.
      
      One significant challenge to all of this is that the CGSCC passes were
      actually using the alias analysis implementations by taking advantage of
      a pretty amazing set of loop holes in the old pass manager's analysis
      management code which allowed analysis groups to slide through in many
      cases. Moving away from analysis groups makes this problem much more
      obvious. To fix it, I've leveraged the flexibility the design of the new
      PM components provides to just directly construct the relevant alias
      analyses for the relevant functions in the IPO passes that need them.
      This is a bit hacky, but should go away with the new pass manager, and
      is already in many ways cleaner than the prior state.
      
      Another significant challenge is that various facilities of the old
      alias analysis infrastructure just don't fit any more. The most
      significant of these is the alias analysis 'counter' pass. That pass
      relied on the ability to snoop on AA queries at different points in the
      analysis group chain. Instead, I'm planning to build printing
      functionality directly into the aggregation layer. I've not included
      that in this patch merely to keep it smaller.
      
      Note that all of this needs a nearly complete rewrite of the AA
      documentation. I'm planning to do that, but I'd like to make sure the
      new design settles, and to flesh out a bit more of what it looks like in
      the new pass manager first.

      Protection against stack-based memory corruption errors using SafeStack · 82437bf7
      Peter Collingbourne authored
      This patch adds the safe stack instrumentation pass to LLVM, which separates
      the program stack into a safe stack, which stores return addresses, register
      spills, and local variables that are statically verified to be accessed
      in a safe way, and the unsafe stack, which stores everything else. Such
      separation makes it much harder for an attacker to corrupt objects on the
      safe stack, including function pointers stored in spilled registers and
      return addresses. You can find more information about the safe stack, as
      well as other parts of or control-flow hijack protection technique in our
      OSDI paper on code-pointer integrity (http://dslab.epfl.ch/pubs/cpi.pdf)
      and our project website (http://levee.epfl.ch).
      
      The overhead of our implementation of the safe stack is very close to zero
      (0.01% on the Phoronix benchmarks). This is lower than the overhead of
      stack cookies, which are supported by LLVM and are commonly used today,
      yet the security guarantees of the safe stack are strictly stronger than
      stack cookies. In some cases, the safe stack improves performance due to
      better cache locality.
      
      Our current implementation of the safe stack is stable and robust, we
      used it to recompile multiple projects on Linux including Chromium, and
      we also recompiled the entire FreeBSD user-space system and more than 100
      packages. We ran unit tests on the FreeBSD system and many of the packages
      and observed no errors caused by the safe stack. The safe stack is also fully
      binary compatible with non-instrumented code and can be applied to parts of
      a program selectively.
      
      This patch is our implementation of the safe stack on top of LLVM. The
      patches make the following changes:
      
      - Add the safestack function attribute, similar to the ssp, sspstrong and
        sspreq attributes.
      
      - Add the SafeStack instrumentation pass that applies the safe stack to all
        functions that have the safestack attribute. This pass moves all unsafe local
        variables to the unsafe stack with a separate stack pointer, whereas all
        safe variables remain on the regular stack that is managed by LLVM as usual.
      
      - Invoke the pass as the last stage before code generation (at the same time
        the existing cookie-based stack protector pass is invoked).
      
      - Add unit tests for the safe stack.
      
      Original patch by Volodymyr Kuznetsov and others at the Dependable Systems
      Lab at EPFL; updates and upstreaming by myself.
