* CMake: Make most target symbols hidden by defaultTom Stellard2020-01-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: For builds with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF this change makes all symbols in the target specific libraries hidden by default. A new macro called LLVM_EXTERNAL_VISIBILITY has been added to mark symbols in these libraries public, which is mainly needed for the definitions of the LLVMInitialize* functions. This patch reduces the number of public symbols in libLLVM.so by about 25%. This should improve load times for the dynamic library and also make abi checker tools, like abidiff require less memory when analyzing libLLVM.so One side-effect of this change is that for builds with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON some unittests that access symbols that are no longer public will need to be statically linked.

* Second attempt to add iterator_range::empty()Jordan Rose2019-10-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Doing this makes MSVC complain that `empty(someRange)` could refer to either C++17's std::empty or LLVM's llvm::empty, which previously we avoided via SFINAE because std::empty is defined in terms of an empty member rather than begin and end. So, switch callers over to the new method as it is added. https://reviews.llvm.org/D68439 llvm-svn: 373935
* [BPF] Support for compile once and run everywhereYonghong Song2019-07-091-7/+13

The main motivation is for bpf program which depends on kernel headers which may vary between different kernel versions. The initial discussion can be found at https://lwn.net/Articles/773198/. Currently, bpf program accesses kernel internal data structure through bpf_probe_read() helper. The idea is to capture the kernel data structure to be accessed through bpf_probe_read() and relocate them on different kernel versions. On each host, right before bpf program load, the bpfloader will look at the types of the native linux through vmlinux BTF, calculates proper access offset and patch the instruction. To accommodate this, three intrinsic functions preserve_{array,union,struct}_access_index are introduced which in clang will preserve the base pointer, struct/union/array access_index and struct/union debuginfo type information. Later, bpf IR pass can reconstruct the whole gep access chains without looking at gep itself. This patch did the following: . An IR pass is added to convert preserve_*_access_index to global variable who name encodes the getelementptr access pattern. The global variable has metadata attached to describe the corresponding struct/union debuginfo type. . An SimplifyPatchable MachineInstruction pass is added to remove unnecessary loads. . The BTF output pass is enhanced to generate relocation records located in .BTF.ext section. Typical CO-RE also needs support of global variables which can be assigned to different values to different hosts. For example, kernel version can be used to guard different versions of codes. This patch added the support for patchable externals as well. Example ======= The following is an example. struct pt_regs { long arg1; long arg2; }; struct sk_buff { int i; struct net_device *dev; }; #define _(x) (__builtin_preserve_access_index(x)) static int (*bpf_probe_read)(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_ptr) = (void *) 4; extern __attribute__((section(".BPF.patchable_externs"))) unsigned __kernel_version; int bpf_prog(struct pt_regs *ctx) { struct net_device *dev = 0; // ctx->arg* does not need bpf_probe_read if (__kernel_version >= 41608) bpf_probe_read(&dev, sizeof(dev), _(&((struct sk_buff *)ctx->arg1)->dev)); else bpf_probe_read(&dev, sizeof(dev), _(&((struct sk_buff *)ctx->arg2)->dev)); return dev != 0; } In the above, we want to translate the third argument of bpf_probe_read() as relocations. -bash-4.4$ clang -target bpf -O2 -g -S trace.c The compiler will generate two new subsections in .BTF.ext, OffsetReloc and ExternReloc. OffsetReloc is to record the structure member offset operations, and ExternalReloc is to record the external globals where only u8, u16, u32 and u64 are supported. BPFOffsetReloc Size struct SecLOffsetReloc for ELF section #1 A number of struct BPFOffsetReloc for ELF section #1 struct SecOffsetReloc for ELF section #2 A number of struct BPFOffsetReloc for ELF section #2 ... BPFExternReloc Size struct SecExternReloc for ELF section #1 A number of struct BPFExternReloc for ELF section #1 struct SecExternReloc for ELF section #2 A number of struct BPFExternReloc for ELF section #2 struct BPFOffsetReloc { uint32_t InsnOffset; ///< Byte offset in this section uint32_t TypeID; ///< TypeID for the relocation uint32_t OffsetNameOff; ///< The string to traverse types }; struct BPFExternReloc { uint32_t InsnOffset; ///< Byte offset in this section uint32_t ExternNameOff; ///< The string for external variable }; Note that only externs with attribute section ".BPF.patchable_externs" are considered for Extern Reloc which will be patched by bpf loader right before the load. For the above test case, two offset records and one extern record will be generated: OffsetReloc records: .long .Ltmp12 # Insn Offset .long 7 # TypeId .long 242 # Type Decode String .long .Ltmp18 # Insn Offset .long 7 # TypeId .long 242 # Type Decode String ExternReloc record: .long .Ltmp5 # Insn Offset .long 165 # External Variable In string table: .ascii "0:1" # string offset=242 .ascii "__kernel_version" # string offset=165 The default member offset can be calculated as the 2nd member offset (0 representing the 1st member) of struct "sk_buff". The asm code: .Ltmp5: .Ltmp6: r2 = 0 r3 = 41608 .Ltmp7: .Ltmp8: .loc 1 18 9 is_stmt 0 # t.c:18:9 .Ltmp9: if r3 > r2 goto LBB0_2 .Ltmp10: .Ltmp11: .loc 1 0 9 # t.c:0:9 .Ltmp12: r2 = 8 .Ltmp13: .loc 1 19 66 is_stmt 1 # t.c:19:66 .Ltmp14: .Ltmp15: r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0) goto LBB0_3 .Ltmp16: .Ltmp17: LBB0_2: .loc 1 0 66 is_stmt 0 # t.c:0:66 .Ltmp18: r2 = 8 .loc 1 21 66 is_stmt 1 # t.c:21:66 .Ltmp19: r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8) .Ltmp20: .Ltmp21: LBB0_3: .loc 1 0 66 is_stmt 0 # t.c:0:66 r3 += r2 r1 = r10 .Ltmp22: .Ltmp23: .Ltmp24: r1 += -8 r2 = 8 call 4 For instruction .Ltmp12 and .Ltmp18, "r2 = 8", the number 8 is the structure offset based on the current BTF. Loader needs to adjust it if it changes on the host. For instruction .Ltmp5, "r2 = 0", the external variable got a default value 0, loader needs to supply an appropriate value for the particular host.

* [AsmPrinter] refactor to support %c w/ GlobalAddress'Nick Desaulniers2019-04-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: Targets like ARM, MSP430, PPC, and SystemZ have complex behavior when printing the address of a MachineOperand::MO_GlobalAddress. Move that handling into a new overriden method in each base class. A virtual method was added to the base class for handling the generic case. Refactors a few subclasses to support the target independent %a, %c, and %n. The patch also contains small cleanups for AVRAsmPrinter and SystemZAsmPrinter. It seems that NVPTXTargetLowering is possibly missing some logic to transform GlobalAddressSDNodes for TargetLowering::LowerAsmOperandForConstraint to handle with "i" extended inline assembly asm constraints.

* [AsmPrinter] refactor to remove remove AsmVariant. NFCNick Desaulniers2019-04-101-7/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: The InlineAsm::AsmDialect is only required for X86; no architecture makes use of it and as such it gets passed around between arch-specific and general code while being unused for all architectures but X86. Since the AsmDialect is queried from a MachineInstr, which we also pass around, remove the additional AsmDialect parameter and query for it deep in the X86AsmPrinter only when needed/as late as possible. This refactor should help later planned refactors to AsmPrinter, as this difference in the X86AsmPrinter makes it harder to make AsmPrinter more generic.

We checked this carefully with the Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach. Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and repository. llvm-svn: 351636
* [BPF] Generate BTF DebugInfo under BPF targetYonghong Song2018-12-191-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements BTF (BPF Type Format). The BTF is the debug info format for BPF, introduced in the below linux patch: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/69b693f0aefa0ed521e8bd02260523b5ae446ad7#diff-06fb1c8825f653d7e539058b72c83332 and further extended several times, e.g., https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg534640.html https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg538464.html https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg540246.html The main advantage of implementing in LLVM is: . better integration/deployment as no extra tools are needed. . bpf JIT based compilation (like bcc, bpftrace, etc.) can get BTF without much extra effort. . BTF line_info needs selective source codes, which can be easily retrieved when inside the compiler. This patch implemented BTF generation by registering a BPF specific DebugHandler in BPFAsmPrinter.

* Sort the remaining #include lines in include/... and lib/....Chandler Carruth2017-06-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days. I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately) or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that I didn't want to disturb in this patch. This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format over your #include lines in the files. Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again). llvm-svn: 304787

The name comes from "Berkeley Packet Filter", since new instruction set is based on it. This patch adds a new backend that emits extended BPF instruction set. The concept and development are covered by the following articles: http://lwn.net/Articles/599755/ http://lwn.net/Articles/575531/ http://lwn.net/Articles/603983/ http://lwn.net/Articles/606089/ http://lwn.net/Articles/612878/ One of use cases: dtrace/systemtap alternative. bpf syscall manpage: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b4fc1a460f3017e958e6a8ea560ea0afd91bf6fe instruction set description and differences vs classic BPF: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/networking/filter.txt Short summary of instruction set: - 64-bit registers R0 - return value from in-kernel function, and exit value for BPF program R1 - R5 - arguments from BPF program to in-kernel function R6 - R9 - callee saved registers that in-kernel function will preserve R10 - read-only frame pointer to access stack - two-operand instructions like +, -, *, mov, load/store - implicit prologue/epilogue (invisible stack pointer) - no floating point, no simd Short history of extended BPF in kernel: interpreter in 3.15, x64 JIT in 3.16, arm64 JIT, verifier, bpf syscall in 3.18, more to come in the future. It's a very small and simple backend. There is no support for global variables, arbitrary function calls, floating point, varargs, exceptions, indirect jumps, arbitrary pointer arithmetic, alloca, etc. From C front-end point of view it's very restricted. It's done on purpose, since kernel rejects all programs that it cannot prove safe. It rejects programs with loops and with memory accesses via arbitrary pointers. When kernel accepts the program it is guaranteed that program will terminate and will not crash the kernel. This patch implements all 'must have' bits. There are several things on TODO list, so this is not the end of development. Most of the code is a boiler plate code, copy-pasted from other backends. Only odd things are lack or < and <= instructions, specialized load_byte intrinsics and 'compare and goto' as single instruction. Current instruction set is fixed, but more instructions can be added in the future.
