Add the intrinsic
declare {i8*, i1} @llvm.type.checked.load(i8* %ptr, i32 %offset, metadata %type)
This is used in the VFE optimization when lowering loading functions
from vtables to LLVM IR. The `metadata` is used to map the function to
all vtables this function could belong to. This ensures that functions
from vtables that might be used somewhere won't get removed.
To apply the optimization the `Virtual Function Elim` module flag has to
be set. To apply this optimization post-link the `LTOPostLink` module
flag has to be set.
This commit
- changes names to use di_node instead of metadata
- uniformly names all functions that build new debuginfo nodes build_xyz_di_node
- renames CrateDebugContext to CodegenUnitDebugContext (which is more accurate)
- moves TypeMap and functions that work directly work with it to a new type_map module
- moves and reimplements enum related builder functions to a new enums module
- splits enum debuginfo building for the native and cpp-like cases, since they are mostly separate
- uses SmallVec instead of Vec in many places
- removes the old infrastructure for dealing with recursion cycles (create_and_register_recursive_type_forward_declaration(), RecursiveTypeDescription, set_members_of_composite_type(), MemberDescription, MemberDescriptionFactory, prepare_xyz_metadata(), etc)
- adds type_map::build_type_with_children() as a replacement for dealing with recursion cycles
- adds many (doc-)comments explaining what's going on
- changes cpp-like naming for C-Style enums so they don't get a enum$<...> name (because the NatVis visualizer does not apply to them)
- fixes detection of what is a C-style enum because some enums where classified as C-style even though they have fields
- changes the position of discriminant debuginfo node so it is consistently nested inside the top-level union instead of, sometimes, next to it
Even if we emit metadata disabling branch protection, this metadata may
conflict with other modules (e.g. during LTO) that have different branch
protection metadata set.
This is an unstable flag and feature, so ideally the flag not being
specified should act as if the feature wasn't implemented in the first
place.
Additionally this PR also ensures we emit an error if
`-Zbranch-protection` is set on targets other than the supported
aarch64. For now the error is being output from codegen, but ideally it
should be moved to earlier in the pipeline before stabilization.
This change adds a flag for configuring control-flow protection in the
LLVM backend. In Clang, this flag is exposed as `-fcf-protection` with
options `none|branch|return|full`. This convention is followed for
`rustc`, though as a codegen option: `rustc -Z
cf-protection=<none|branch|return|full>`.

This agrees with Clang, and avoids an error when using LTO with mixed
C/Rust. LLVM considers different behaviour flags to be a mismatch,
even when the flag value itself is the same.
This also makes the flag setting explicit for all uses of
LLVMRustAddModuleFlag.
Add codegen option for branch protection and pointer authentication on AArch64
The branch-protection codegen option enables the use of hint-space pointer
authentication code for AArch64 targets.
Remove `SymbolStr`
This was originally proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74554#discussion_r466203544. As well as removing the icky `SymbolStr` type, it allows the removal of a lot of `&` and `*` occurrences.

This commit adds LLVM Control Flow Integrity (CFI) support to the Rust
compiler. It initially provides forward-edge control flow protection for
Rust-compiled code only by aggregating function pointers in groups
identified by their number of arguments.
Forward-edge control flow protection for C or C++ and Rust -compiled
code "mixed binaries" (i.e., for when C or C++ and Rust -compiled code
share the same virtual address space) will be provided in later work as
part of this project by defining and using compatible type identifiers
(see Type metadata in the design document in the tracking issue #89653).
LLVM CFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=cfi and requires LTO (i.e.,
-Clto).
The #[used] attribute explicitly only requires symbols to be
retained in object files, but allows the linker to drop them
if dead. This corresponds to llvm.compiler.used semantics.
The motivation to change this *now* is that https://reviews.llvm.org/D97448
starts emitting #[used] symbols into unique sections with
SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag. This triggers a bug in some version of gold,
resulting in the ARGV_INIT_ARRAY symbol part of the .init_array
section to be incorrectly placed.
LLVM codegen: Don't emit zero-sized padding for fields
Currently padding is emitted before fields of a struct and at the end of the struct regardless of the ABI. Even if no padding is required zero-sized padding fields are emitted. This is not useful and - more importantly - it make it impossible to generate the exact vector types that LLVM expects for certain ARM SIMD intrinsics. This change should unblock the implementation of many ARM intrinsics using the `unadjusted` ABI, see https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/issues/1143#issuecomment-827404092.
This is a proof of concept only because the field lookup now takes O(number of fields) time compared to O(1) before since it recalculates the mapping at every lookup. I would like to find out how big the performance impact actually is before implementing caching or restricting this behavior to the `unadjusted` ABI.

Rather than relying on `getPointerElementType()` from LLVM function
pointers, we now pass the function type explicitly when building `call`
or `invoke` instructions.
