Add an option similar to the -qtarget option in XL to allow the user to
say they want to be able to run the generated program on an older
version of the LE environment. This option will do two things:
- set the `__TARGET_LIBS` macro so the system headers exclude newer
interfaces when targeting older environments
- set the arch level to match the minimum arch level for that older
version of LE. It doesn't happen right now since all of the supported LE
versions have a the same minimum ach level. So the option doesn't change
this yet.
The user can specify three different kinds of arguments:
1. -mzos-target=zosv*V*r*R* - where V & R are the version and release
2. -mzos-target=0x4vrrmmmm - v, r, m, p are the hex values for the
version, release, and modlevel
3. -mzos-target=current - uses the latest version of LE the system
headers have support for
This both reapplies #118734, the initial attempt at this, and updates it
significantly.
First, it uses the newly added `StringTable` abstraction for string
tables, and simplifies the construction to build the string table and
info arrays separately. This should reduce any `constexpr` compile time
memory or CPU cost of the original PR while significantly improving the
APIs throughout.
It also restructures the builtins to support sharding across several
independent tables. This accomplishes two improvements from the
original PR:
1) It improves the APIs used significantly.
2) When builtins are defined from different sources (like SVE vs MVE in
AArch64), this allows each of them to build their own string table
independently rather than having to merge the string tables and info
structures.
3) It allows each shard to factor out a common prefix, often cutting the
size of the strings needed for the builtins by a factor two.
The second point is important both to allow different mechanisms of
construction (for example a `.def` file and a tablegen'ed `.inc` file,
or different tablegen'ed `.inc files), it also simply reduces the sizes
of these tables which is valuable given how large they are in some
cases. The third builds on that size reduction.
Initially, we use this new sharding rather than merging tables in
AArch64, LoongArch, RISCV, and X86. Mostly this helps ensure the system
works, as without further changes these still push scaling limits.
Subsequent commits will more deeply leverage the new structure,
including using the prefix capabilities which cannot be easily factored
out here and requires deep changes to the targets.
This patch adds support for the next-generation arch15
CPU architecture to the SystemZ backend.
This includes:
- Basic support for the new processor and its features.
- Detection of arch15 as host processor.
- Assembler/disassembler support for new instructions.
- Exploitation of new instructions for code generation.
- New vector (signed|unsigned|bool) __int128 data types.
- New LLVM intrinsics for certain new instructions.
- Support for low-level builtins mapped to new LLVM intrinsics.
- New high-level intrinsics in vecintrin.h.
- Indicate support by defining __VEC__ == 10305.
Note: No currently available Z system supports the arch15
architecture. Once new systems become available, the
official system name will be added as supported -march name.
Reverts llvm/llvm-project#118734
There are currently some specific versions of MSVC that are miscompiling
this code (we think). We don't know why as all the other build bots and
at least some folks' local Windows builds work fine.
This is a candidate revert to help the relevant folks catch their
builders up and have time to debug the issue. However, the expectation
is to roll forward at some point with a workaround if at all possible.
The Clang binary (and any binary linking Clang as a library), when built
using PIE, ends up with a pretty shocking number of dynamic relocations
to apply to the executable image: roughly 400k.
Each of these takes up binary space in the executable, and perhaps most
interestingly takes start-up time to apply the relocations.
The largest pattern I identified were the strings used to describe
target builtins. The addresses of these string literals were stored into
huge arrays, each one requiring a dynamic relocation. The way to avoid
this is to design the target builtins to use a single large table of
strings and offsets within the table for the individual strings. This
switches the builtin management to such a scheme.
This saves over 100k dynamic relocations by my measurement, an over 25%
reduction. Just looking at byte size improvements, using the `bloaty`
tool to compare a newly built `clang` binary to an old one:
```

-27.3% -2.52Mi -27.3% -2.52Mi .rela.dyn
-1.6% -2.66Mi -1.6% -2.66Mi TOTAL
```
We get a 16% reduction in the `.data.rel.ro` section, and nearly 30%
reduction in `.rela.dyn` where those reloctaions are stored.
This is also visible in my benchmarking of binary start-up overhead at
least:
```
Benchmark 1: ./old_clang --version
Time (mean ± σ): 17.6 ms ± 1.5 ms [User: 4.1 ms, System: 13.3 ms]
Range (min … max): 14.2 ms … 22.8 ms 162 runs
Benchmark 2: ./new_clang --version
Time (mean ± σ): 15.5 ms ± 1.4 ms [User: 3.6 ms, System: 11.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 12.4 ms … 20.3 ms 216 runs
Summary
'./new_clang --version' ran
1.13 ± 0.14 times faster than './old_clang --version'
```
We get about 2ms faster `--version` runs. While there is a lot of noise
in binary execution time, this delta is pretty consistent, and
represents over 10% improvement. This is particularly interesting to me
because for very short source files, repeatedly starting the `clang`
binary is actually the dominant cost. For example, `configure` scripts
running against the `clang` compiler are slow in large part because of
binary start up time, not the time to process the actual inputs to the
compiler.
----
This PR implements the string tables using `constexpr` code and the
existing macro system. I understand that the builtins are moving towards
a TableGen model, and if complete that would provide more options for
modeling this. Unfortunately, that migration isn't complete, and even
the parts that are migrated still rely on the ability to break out of
the TableGen model and directly expand an X-macro style `BUILTIN(...)`
textually. I looked at trying to complete the move to TableGen, but it
would both require the difficult migration of the remaining targets, and
solving some tricky problems with how to move away from any macro-based
expansion.
I was also able to find a reasonably clean and effective way of doing
this with the existing macros and some `constexpr` code that I think is
clean enough to be a pretty good intermediate state, and maybe give a
good target for the eventual TableGen solution. I was also able to
factor the macros into set of consistent patterns that avoids a
significant regression in overall boilerplate.
When this option is passed to clang, external (and/or weak) symbols
are not assumed to have the minimum ABI alignment normally required.
Symbols defined locally that are not weak are however still given the
minimum alignment.
This is implemented by passing a new parameter to getMinGlobalAlign()
named HasNonWeakDef that is used to return the right alignment value.
This is needed when external symbols created from a linker script may
not get the ABI minimum alignment and must therefore be treated as
unaligned by the compiler.
Reorganize clang::Builtin::Info to have them naturally align on 4 bytes
boundaries.
Instead of storing builtin headers as a straight char pointer, enumerate
them and store the enum. It allows to use a small enum instead of a
pointer to reference them.
On a 64 bit machine, this brings sizeof(clang::Builtin::Info) from 56
down to 48 bytes.
On a release build on my Linux 64 bit machine, it shrinks the size of
libclang-cpp.so by 193kB.
The impact on performance is negligible in terms of instruction count,
but the wall time seems better, see

This avoids recomputing string length that is already known at compile time.
It has a slight impact on preprocessing / compile time, see

This a recommit of e953ae5bbc313fd0cc980ce021d487e5b5199ea4 and the subsequent fixes caa713559bd38f337d7d35de35686775e8fb5175 and 06b90e2e9c991e211fecc97948e533320a825470.
The above patchset caused some version of GCC to take eons to compile clang/lib/Basic/Targets/AArch64.cpp, as spotted in aa171833ab0017d9732e82b8682c9848ab25ff9e.
The fix is to make BuiltinInfo tables a compilation unit static variable, instead of a private static variable.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. 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.

Targets.cpp is getting unwieldy, and even minor changes cause the entire thing
to cause recompilation for everyone. This patch bites the bullet and breaks
it up into a number of files.
I tended to keep function definitions in the class declaration unless it
caused additional includes to be necessary. In those cases, I pulled it
over into the .cpp file. Content is copy/paste for the most part,
besides includes/format/etc.
