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.
This was originally introduced in #10916 as a way to remove all landing
pads when performing LTO. However this is no longer necessary today
since rustc properly marks all functions and call-sites as nounwind
where appropriate.
In fact this is incorrect in the presence of `extern "C-unwind"` which
must create a landing pad when compiled with `-C panic=abort` so that
foreign exceptions are caught and properly turned into aborts.
RustWrapper: adapt to new AttributeMask API
Upstream LLVM change 9290ccc3c1a1 migrated attribute removal to use

Mark drop calls in landing pads `cold` instead of `noinline`
Now that deferred inlining has been disabled in LLVM (#92110), this shouldn't cause catastrophic size blowup.
I confirmed that the test cases from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/41696#issuecomment-298696944 still compile quickly (<1s) after this change. ~Although note that I wasn't able to reproduce the original issue using a recent rustc/llvm with deferred inlining enabled, so those tests may no longer be representative. I was also unable to create a modified test case that reproduced the original issue.~ (edit: I reproduced it on CI by accident--the first commit timed out on the LLVM 12 builder, because I forgot to make it conditional on LLVM version)

Add support for LLVM coverage mapping format versions 5 and 6
This PR cherry-pick's Swatinem's initial commit in unsubmitted PR #90047.
My additional commit augments Swatinem's great starting point, but adds full support for LLVM
Coverage Mapping Format version 6, conditionally, if compiling with LLVM 13.
Version 6 requires adding the compilation directory when file paths are
relative, and since Rustc coverage maps use relative paths, we should
add the expected compilation directory entry.
Note, however, that with the compilation directory, coverage reports
from `llvm-cov show` can now report file names (when the report includes
more than one file) with the full absolute path to the file.
This would be a problem for test results, but the workaround (for the
rust coverage tests) is to include an additional `llvm-cov show`
parameter: `--compilation-dir=.`
Emit LLVM optimization remarks when enabled with `-Cremark`
The default diagnostic handler considers all remarks to be disabled by
default unless configured otherwise through LLVM internal flags:
`-pass-remarks`, `-pass-remarks-missed`, and `-pass-remarks-analysis`.
This behaviour makes `-Cremark` ineffective on its own.
Fix this by configuring a custom diagnostic handler that enables
optimization remarks based on the value of `-Cremark` option. With
`-Cremark=all` enabling all remarks.
Fixes#90924.
r? `@nikic`
LLVM has built-in heuristics for adding stack canaries to functions. These
heuristics can be selected with LLVM function attributes. This patch adds a
rustc option `-Z stack-protector={none,basic,strong,all}` which controls the use
of these attributes. This gives rustc the same stack smash protection support as
clang offers through options `-fno-stack-protector`, `-fstack-protector`,
`-fstack-protector-strong`, and `-fstack-protector-all`. The protection this can
offer is demonstrated in test/ui/abi/stack-protector.rs. This fills a gap in the
current list of rustc exploit
mitigations (https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/exploit-mitigations.html),
originally discussed in #15179.
Stack smash protection adds runtime overhead and is therefore still off by
default, but now users have the option to trade performance for security as they
see fit. An example use case is adding Rust code in an existing C/C++ code base
compiled with stack smash protection. Without the ability to add stack smash
protection to the Rust code, the code base artifacts could be exploitable in
ways not possible if the code base remained pure C/C++.
Stack smash protection support is present in LLVM for almost all the current
tier 1/tier 2 targets: see
test/assembly/stack-protector/stack-protector-target-support.rs. The one
exception is nvptx64-nvidia-cuda. This patch follows clang's example, and adds a
warning message printed if stack smash protection is used with this target (see
test/ui/stack-protector/warn-stack-protector-unsupported.rs). Support for tier 3
targets has not been checked.
Since the heuristics are applied at the LLVM level, the heuristics are expected
to add stack smash protection to a fraction of functions comparable to C/C++.
Some experiments demonstrating how Rust code is affected by the different
heuristics can be found in
test/assembly/stack-protector/stack-protector-heuristics-effect.rs. There is
potential for better heuristics using Rust-specific safety information. For
example it might be reasonable to skip stack smash protection in functions which
transitively only use safe Rust code, or which uses only a subset of functions
the user declares safe (such as anything under `std.*`). Such alternative
heuristics could be added at a later point.
LLVM also offers a "safestack" sanitizer as an alternative way to guard against
stack smashing (see #26612). This could possibly also be included as a
stack-protection heuristic. An alternative is to add it as a sanitizer (#39699).
This is what clang does: safestack is exposed with option
`-fsanitize=safe-stack`.
The options are only supported by the LLVM backend, but as with other codegen
options it is visible in the main codegen option help menu. The heuristic names
"basic", "strong", and "all" are hopefully sufficiently generic to be usable in
other backends as well.

`Module::getOrInsertGlobal` returns a `Constant*`, which is a super
class of `GlobalVariable`, but if the given type doesn't match an
existing declaration, it returns a bitcast of that global instead.
This causes UB when we pass that to `LLVMGetVisibility` which
unconditionally casts the opaque argument to a `GlobalValue*`.
Instead, we can do our own get-or-insert without worrying whether
existing types match exactly. It's not relevant when we're just trying
to get/set the linkage and visibility, and if types are needed we can
bitcast or error nicely from `rustc_codegen_llvm` instead.
The default diagnostic handler considers all remarks to be disabled by
default unless configured otherwise through LLVM internal flags:
`-pass-remarks`, `-pass-remarks-missed`, and `-pass-remarks-analysis`.
This behaviour makes `-Cremark` ineffective on its own.

In https://reviews.llvm.org/D71059 LLVM 11, the time trace profiler was
extended to support multiple threads.
`timeTraceProfilerInitialize` creates a thread local profiler instance.
When a thread finishes `timeTraceProfilerFinishThread` moves a thread
local instance into a global collection of instances. Finally when all
codegen work is complete `timeTraceProfilerWrite` writes data from the
current thread local instance and the instances in global collection
of instances.
Previously, the profiler was intialized on a single thread only. Since
this thread performs no code generation on its own, the resulting
profile was empty.
Update LLVM codegen to initialize & finish time trace profiler on each
code generation thread.
Add -Z no-unique-section-names to reduce ELF header bloat.
This change adds a new compiler flag that can help reduce the size of ELF binaries that contain many functions.
By default, when enabling function sections (which is the default for most targets), the LLVM backend will generate different section names for each function. For example, a function `func` would generate a section called `.text.func`. Normally this is fine because the linker will merge all those sections into a single one in the binary. However, starting with [LLVM 12](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/ee5d1a04), the backend will also generate unique section names for exception handling, resulting in thousands of `.gcc_except_table.*` sections ending up in the final binary because some linkers like LLD don't currently merge or strip these EH sections (see discussion [here](https://reviews.llvm.org/D83655)). This can bloat the ELF headers and string table significantly in binaries that contain many functions.
The new option is analogous to Clang's `-fno-unique-section-names`, and instructs LLVM to generate the same `.text` and `.gcc_except_table` section for each function, resulting in a smaller final binary.
The motivation to add this new option was because we have a binary that ended up with so many ELF sections (over 65,000) that it broke some existing ELF tools, which couldn't handle so many sections.
Here's our old binary:
```
$ readelf --sections old.elf | head -1
There are 71746 section headers, starting at offset 0x2a246508:
$ readelf --sections old.elf | grep shstrtab
[71742] .shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 2977204c ad44bb 00 0 0 1
```
That's an 11MB+ string table. Here's the new binary using this option:
```
$ readelf --sections new.elf | head -1
There are 43 section headers, starting at offset 0x29143ca8:
$ readelf --sections new.elf | grep shstrtab
[40] .shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 29143acc 0001db 00 0 0 1
```
The whole binary size went down by over 20MB, which is quite significant.
This change adds a new compiler flag that can help reduce the size of
ELF binaries that contain many functions.
By default, when enabling function sections (which is the default for most
targets), the LLVM backend will generate different section names for each
function. For example, a function "func" would generate a section called
".text.func". Normally this is fine because the linker will merge all those
sections into a single one in the binary. However, starting with LLVM 12
(llvm/llvm-project@ee5d1a0), the backend will
also generate unique section names for exception handling, resulting in
thousands of ".gcc_except_table.*" sections ending up in the final binary
because some linkers don't currently merge or strip these EH sections.
This can bloat the ELF headers and string table significantly in
binaries that contain many functions.
The new option is analogous to Clang's -fno-unique-section-names, and
instructs LLVM to generate the same ".text" and ".gcc_except_table"
section for each function, resulting in smaller object files and
potentially a smaller final binary.
Implement `#[link_ordinal(n)]`
Allows the use of `#[link_ordinal(n)]` with `#[link(kind = "raw-dylib")]`, allowing Rust to link against DLLs that export symbols by ordinal rather than by name. As long as the ordinal matches, the name of the function in Rust is not required to match the name of the corresponding function in the exporting DLL.

Enable AutoFDO.
This largely involves implementing the options debug-info-for-profiling
and profile-sample-use and forwarding them on to LLVM.
AutoFDO can be used on x86-64 Linux like this:
rustc -O -Clink-arg='Wl,--no-rosegment' -Cdebug-info-for-profiling main.rs -o main
perf record -b ./main
create_llvm_prof --binary=main --out=code.prof
rustc -O -Cprofile-sample-use=code.prof main.rs -o main2
Now `main2` will have feedback directed optimization applied to it.
The create_llvm_prof tool can be obtained from this github repository:

The option -Clink-arg='Wl,--no-rosegment' is necessary to avoid lld

The LLVM commit
e463b69736
changed an argument of fatal_error_handler_t from std::string to char*.
This adapts RustWrapper accordingly.
thinLTOResolvePrevailingInModule became thinLTOFinalizeInModule and
gained the ability to propagate noRecurse and noUnwind function
attributes. I ran codegen tests with it both on and off, as the upstream
patch uses it in both modes, and the tests pass both ways. Given that,
it seemed reasonable to go ahead and let the propagation be enabled in
rustc, and see what happens. See https://reviews.llvm.org/D36850 for
more examples of how the new version of the function gets used.

These were deleted in https://reviews.llvm.org/D108614, and in C++ I

propagate the changes up into higher layers of rustc in this change
because my initial goal was to get rustc working against LLVM HEAD
promptly, but I'm happy to follow up with some refactoring to make the
API on the Rust side match the LLVM API more directly (though the way
the enum works in Rust makes the API less scary IMO).

parameter additions, which I made match the default prior to the
mentioned upstream LLVM change.
This patch restores rustc to building (though not quite passing all
tests, I've mailed other patches for those issues) against LLVM HEAD.

This is the first build break of the LLVM 14 cycle, and was caused by

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

This commit updates how rustc compiler metadata is stored in rlibs.
Previously metadata was stored as a raw file that has the same format as
`--emit metadata`. After this commit, however, the metadata is encoded
into a small object file which has one section which is the contents of
the metadata.
The motivation for this commit is to fix a common case where #83730
arises. The problem is that when rustc crates a `dylib` crate type it
needs to include entire rlib files into the dylib, so it passes
`--whole-archive` (or the equivalent) to the linker. The problem with
this, though, is that the linker will attempt to read all files in the
archive. If the metadata file were left as-is (today) then the linker
would generate an error saying it can't read the file. The previous
solution was to alter the rlib just before linking, creating a new
archive in a temporary directory which has the metadata file removed.
This problem from before this commit is now removed if the metadata file
is stored in an object file that the linker can read. The only caveat we
have to take care of is to ensure that the linker never actually
includes the contents of the object file into the final output. We apply
similar tricks as the `.llvmbc` bytecode sections to do this.
This involved changing the metadata loading code a bit, namely updating
some of the LLVM C APIs used to use non-deprecated ones and fiddling
with the lifetimes a bit to get everything to work out. Otherwise though
this isn't intended to be a functional change really, only that metadata
is stored differently in archives now.
This should end up fixing #83730 because by default dylibs will no
longer have their rlib dependencies "altered" meaning that
split-debuginfo will continue to have valid paths pointing at the
original rlibs. (note that we still "alter" rlibs if LTO is enabled to
remove Rust object files and we also "alter" for the #[link(cfg)]
feature, but that's rarely used).
Closes#83730
PassWrapper: update for LLVM change D102093
In https://reviews.llvm.org/D102093 lots of things stopped taking the
DebugLogging boolean parameter. Mercifully we appear to always set
DebugPassManager to false, so I don't think we're losing anything by not
passing this parameter.

DebugLogging boolean parameter. Mercifully we appear to always set
DebugPassManager to false, so I don't think we're losing anything by not

This lets me build against llvm/main as of March 23rd, 2021. I'm not
entirely sure this is _correct_, but it appears to be functionally
identical to what was done in LLVM: existing callsites of
setInlineAsmDiagnosticHandler were moved to SetDiagnosticHandler() on
the context object, which we already set up in both places that we
called setInlineAsmDiagnosticHandler().
`fast-math` implies things like functions not being able to accept as an
argument or return as a result, say, `inf` which made these functions
confusingly named or behaving incorrectly, depending on how you
interpret it. Since the time when these intrinsics have been implemented
the intrinsics user's (stdsimd) approach has changed significantly and
so now it is required that these intrinsics operate normally rather than
in "whatever" way.
Fixes#84268
This should have no real effect in most cases, as e.g. `hidden`
visibility already implies `dso_local` (or at least LLVM IR does not
preserve the `dso_local` setting if the item is already `hidden`), but
it should fix `-Crelocation-model=static` and improve codegen in
executables.
Note that this PR does not exhaustively port the logic in [clang]. Only
the obviously correct portion and what is necessary to fix a regression
from LLVM 12 that relates to `-Crelocation_model=static`.

THis came up in the review of #83425: it's hard to imagine a use of
LLVM_VERSION_LE() or LLVM_VERSION_EQ() that's not asking for trouble
when a point release gets created, so let's just discard them to prevent
the issue.
As far as I can tell what we've been getting is llvm::MaybeAlign(), so
just use that for now. This is required sometime after
24539f1ef2471d07bd87f833cb0288fc0f251f4b.
This changed in 54fb3ca96e261f7107cb1b5778c34cb0e0808be6 - I'm not
entirely sure it's correct that we're leaving config empty, but the one
case in LLVM that looked similar did that.
This works around a design defect in the LLVM 12 pass builder
implementation. In LLVM 13, the PreLink ThinLTO pipeline properly
respects the OptimizerLastEPCallbacks.
The definition of this struct changes in LLVM 12 due to the addition
of branch coverage support. To avoid future mismatches, declare our
own struct and then convert between them.
This commit adds a new ABI to be selected via `extern
"C-cmse-nonsecure-call"` on function pointers in order for the compiler to
apply the corresponding cmse_nonsecure_call callsite attribute.
For Armv8-M targets supporting TrustZone-M, this will perform a
non-secure function call by saving, clearing and calling a non-secure
function pointer using the BLXNS instruction.

A simple `unwrap` fixes the issue.
Use unwrapDIPtr because the Scope may be null.
I ran into an assertion when using debug information on Windows with LLVM assertions enabled.
It seems like we are using unwrap here (which in turn calls isa and requires the pointer to be non-null) but we expect the value to be null because that is what we are passing from rustc.
This change uses unwrapDIPtr which explicitly allows nullptr.
The FFI prototype for this method on the rust side has the `LLVMMetadataRef` parameter as `Scope: Option<&'a DIScope>`, and we always pass `None` when `msvc_like_names` is true.
Use llvm::computeLTOCacheKey to determine post-ThinLTO CGU reuse
During incremental ThinLTO compilation, we attempt to re-use the
optimized (post-ThinLTO) bitcode file for a module if it is 'safe' to do
so.
Up until now, 'safe' has meant that the set of modules that our current
modules imports from/exports to is unchanged from the previous
compilation session. See PR #67020 and PR #71131 for more details.
However, this turns out be insufficient to guarantee that it's safe
to reuse the post-LTO module (i.e. that optimizing the pre-LTO module
would produce the same result). When LLVM optimizes a module during
ThinLTO, it may look at other information from the 'module index', such
as whether a (non-imported!) global variable is used. If this
information changes between compilation runs, we may end up re-using an
optimized module that (for example) had dead-code elimination run on a
function that is now used by another module.
Fortunately, LLVM implements its own ThinLTO module cache, which is used
when ThinLTO is performed by a linker plugin (e.g. when clang is used to
compile a C proect). Using this cache directly would require extensive
refactoring of our code - but fortunately for us, LLVM provides a
function that does exactly what we need.
The function `llvm::computeLTOCacheKey` is used to compute a SHA-1 hash
from all data that might influence the result of ThinLTO on a module.
In addition to the module imports/exports that we manually track, it
also hashes information about global variables (e.g. their liveness)
which might be used during optimization. By using this function, we
shouldn't have to worry about new LLVM passes breaking our module re-use
behavior.
In LLVM, the output of this function forms part of the filename used to
store the post-ThinLTO module. To keep our current filename structure
intact, this PR just writes out the mapping 'CGU name -> Hash' to a
file. To determine if a post-LTO module should be reused, we compare
hashes from the previous session.
This should unblock PR #75199 - by sheer chance, it seems to have hit
this issue due to the particular CGU partitioning and optimization
decisions that end up getting made.
Secure entry functions do not support if arguments are passed on the
stack. An "unsupported" diagnostic will be emitted by LLVM if that is
the case.
This commits adds support in Rust for that diagnostic so that an error
will be output if that is the case!

ThinLTO, it may look at other information from the 'module index', such
as whether a (non-imported!) global variable is used. If this
information changes between compilation runs, we may end up re-using an
optimized module that (for example) had dead-code elimination run on a
function that is now used by another module.
Fortunately, LLVM implements its own ThinLTO module cache, which is used
when ThinLTO is performed by a linker plugin (e.g. when clang is used to
compile a C proect). Using this cache directly would require extensive
refactoring of our code - but fortunately for us, LLVM provides a
function that does exactly what we need.
The function `llvm::computeLTOCacheKey` is used to compute a SHA-1 hash
from all data that might influence the result of ThinLTO on a module.
In addition to the module imports/exports that we manually track, it
also hashes information about global variables (e.g. their liveness)
which might be used during optimization. By using this function, we
shouldn't have to worry about new LLVM passes breaking our module re-use
behavior.
In LLVM, the output of this function forms part of the filename used to
store the post-ThinLTO module. To keep our current filename structure
intact, this PR just writes out the mapping 'CGU name -> Hash' to a
file. To determine if a post-LTO module should be reused, we compare
hashes from the previous session.
This should unblock PR #75199 - by sheer chance, it seems to have hit
this issue due to the particular CGU partitioning and optimization
decisions that end up getting made.
