4bb7b6fae3 [IR] Remove support for float binop constant expressions
As part of https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-remove-most-constant-expressions/63179,
this removes support for the floating-point binop constant expressions
fadd, fsub, fmul, fdiv and frem.

As part of this change, the C APIs LLVMConstFAdd, LLVMConstFSub,
LLVMConstFMul, LLVMConstFDiv and LLVMConstFRem are removed.
The LLVMBuild APIs should be used instead.

fdf7e437bf llvm-c: Add LLVMDeleteInstruction to fix a test issue

1023ddaf77 [LLVM] Add the support for fmax and fmin in atomicrmw instruction
This patch adds the support for `fmax` and `fmin` operations in `atomicrmw`

11950efe06 [ConstExpr] Remove div/rem constant expressions
D128820 stopped creating div/rem constant expressions by default;
this patch removes support for them entirely.

The getUDiv(), getExactUDiv(), getSDiv(), getExactSDiv(), getURem()
and getSRem() on ConstantExpr are removed, and ConstantExpr::get()
now only accepts binary operators for which
ConstantExpr::isSupportedBinOp() returns true. Uses of these methods
may be replaced either by corresponding IRBuilder methods, or
ConstantFoldBinaryOpOperands (if a constant result is required).

On the C API side, LLVMConstUDiv, LLVMConstExactUDiv, LLVMConstSDiv,
LLVMConstExactSDiv, LLVMConstURem and LLVMConstSRem are removed and
corresponding LLVMBuild methods should be used.

Importantly, this also means that constant expressions can no longer
trap! This patch still keeps the canTrap() method to minimize diff --
I plan to drop it in a separate NFC patch.

7283f48a05 [IR] Remove support for insertvalue constant expression
This removes the insertvalue constant expression, as part of
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-remove-most-constant-expressions/63179.
This is very similar to the extractvalue removal from D125795.
insertvalue is also not supported in bitcode, so no auto-ugprade
is necessary.

ConstantExpr::getInsertValue() can be replaced with
IRBuilder::CreateInsertValue() or ConstantFoldInsertValueInstruction(),
depending on whether a constant result is required (with the latter
being fallible).

The ConstantExpr::hasIndices() and ConstantExpr::getIndices()
methods also go away here, because there are no longer any constant
expressions with indices.

5548e807b5 [IR] Remove support for extractvalue constant expression
This removes the extractvalue constant expression, as part of
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-remove-most-constant-expressions/63179.
extractvalue is already not supported in bitcode, so we do not need
to worry about bitcode auto-upgrade.

Uses of ConstantExpr::getExtractValue() should be replaced with
IRBuilder::CreateExtractValue() (if the fact that the result is
constant is not important) or ConstantFoldExtractValueInstruction()
(if it is). Though for this particular case, it is also possible
and usually preferable to use getAggregateElement() instead.

The C API function LLVMConstExtractValue() is removed, as the
underlying constant expression no longer exists. Instead,
LLVMBuildExtractValue() should be used (which will constant fold
or create an instruction). Depending on the use-case,
LLVMGetAggregateElement() may also be used instead.

da34966a5a [llvm-c] Add LLVMGetAggregateElement() function
This adds LLVMGetAggregateElement() as a wrapper for
Constant::getAggregateElement(), which allows fetching a
struct/array/vector element without handling different possible
underlying representations.

As the changed echo test shows, previously you for example had to
treat ConstantArray (use LLVMGetOperand) and ConstantDataArray
(use LLVMGetElementAsConstant) separately, not to mention all the
other possible representations (like PoisonValue).

I've deprecated LLVMGetElementAsConstant() in favor of the new
function, which is strictly more powerful (but I could be convinced
to drop the deprecation).

This is partly motivated by https://reviews.llvm.org/D125795,
which drops LLVMConstExtractValue() because the underlying constant
expression no longer exists. This function could previously be used
as a poor man's getAggregateElement().

436bbce765 [llvm-c] Add functions for enabling and creating opaque pointers
This is based on https://reviews.llvm.org/D125168 which adds a
wrapper to allow use of opaque pointers from the C API.

I added an opaque pointer mode test to echo.ll, and to fix assertions
that forbid the use of mixed typed and opaque pointers that were
triggering in it I had to also add wrappers for setOpaquePointers()
and isOpaquePointer().

I also changed echo.ll to remove a bitcast i32* %x to i8*, because
passing it through llvm-as and llvm-dis was generating a
%0 = bitcast ptr %x to ptr, but when building that same bitcast in
echo.cpp it was getting elided by IRBuilderBase::CreateCast
(08ac661248/llvm/include/llvm/IR/IRBuilder.h (L1998-L1999)).

    to label %exit unwind label %uexit
```

2.) Add Bitcode writing/reading support + LLVM-IR parsing.

3.) Emit EHLabels around inline assembly lowering (SelectionDAGBuilder + GlobalISel) when `InlineAsm::canThrow` is enabled.

4.) Tweak InstCombineCalls/InlineFunction pass to not mark inline assembly "calls" as nounwind.

5.) Add clang support by introducing a new clobber: "unwind", which lower to the `canThrow` being enabled.

6.) Don't allow unwinding callbr.

82b3e28e83 [SystemZ][z/OS][Windows] Add new OF_TextWithCRLF flag and use this flag instead of OF_Text
Problem:
On SystemZ we need to open text files in text mode. On Windows, files opened in text mode adds a CRLF '\r\n' which may not be desirable.

Solution:
This patch adds two new flags

  - OF_CRLF which indicates that CRLF translation is used.
  - OF_TextWithCRLF = OF_Text | OF_CRLF indicates that the file is text and uses CRLF translation.

Developers should now use either the OF_Text or OF_TextWithCRLF for text files and OF_None for binary files. If the developer doesn't want carriage returns on Windows, they should use OF_Text, if they do want carriage returns on Windows, they should use OF_TextWithCRLF.

So this is the behaviour per platform with my patch:

z/OS:
OF_None: open in binary mode
OF_Text : open in text mode
OF_TextWithCRLF: open in text mode

Windows:
OF_None: open file with no carriage return
OF_Text: open file with no carriage return
OF_TextWithCRLF: open file with carriage return

The Major change is in llvm/lib/Support/Windows/Path.inc to only set text mode if the OF_CRLF is set.
```
  if (Flags & OF_CRLF)
    CrtOpenFlags |= _O_TEXT;
```

These following files are the ones that still use OF_Text which I left unchanged. I modified all these except raw_ostream.cpp in recent patches so I know these were previously in Binary mode on Windows.
./llvm/lib/Support/raw_ostream.cpp
./llvm/lib/TableGen/Main.cpp

a97f62837f [llvm][IR] Add dso_local_equivalent Constant
The `dso_local_equivalent` constant is a wrapper for functions that represents a
value which is functionally equivalent to the global passed to this. That is, if
this accepts a function, calling this constant should have the same effects as
calling the function directly. This could be a direct reference to the function,
the `@plt` modifier on X86/AArch64, a thunk, or anything that's equivalent to the
resolved function as a call target.

When lowered, the returned address must have a constant offset at link time from
some other symbol defined within the same binary. The address of this value is
also insignificant. The name is leveraged from `dso_local` where use of a function
or variable is resolved to a symbol in the same linkage unit.

In this patch:
- Addition of `dso_local_equivalent` and handling it
- Update Constant::needsRelocation() to strip constant inbound GEPs and take
  advantage of `dso_local_equivalent` for relative references

This is useful for the [Relative VTables C++ ABI](https://reviews.llvm.org/D72959)
which makes vtables readonly. This works by replacing the dynamic relocations for
function pointers in them with static relocations that represent the offset between
the vtable and virtual functions. If a function is externally defined,
`dso_local_equivalent` can be used as a generic wrapper for the function to still
allow for this static offset calculation to be done.

ShuffleVector instruction, storing the mask data separately in the
instruction instead; this reduced the number of operands of
ShuffleVector from 3 to 2. AFAICT, this change unintentionally caused
a regression in the LLVM C API. Specifically, it is no longer possible
to get the mask of a ShuffleVector instruction through the C API. This
patch introduces new functions which together allow a C API user to get
the mask of a ShuffleVector instruction, restoring the functionality
which was previously available through LLVMGetOperand().

This patch also adds tests for this change to the llvm-c-test
executable, which involved adding support for InsertElement,
ExtractElement, and ShuffleVector itself (as well as constant vectors)
to echo.cpp. Previously, vector operations weren't tested at all in
echo.ll.

I also fixed some typos in comments and help-text nearby these changes,
which I happened to spot while developing this patch. Since the typo
fixes are technically unrelated other than being in the same files, I'm
happy to take them out if you'd rather they not be included in the patch.
