Uses a dedicated section in the binary to emit records about
functions that can be looked up by name at the runtime, and
then called through a fully-abstracted entry point whose
arguments can be constructed in code.
The functions in llvm-project `AttributeList` have been
renamed/refactored to help remove uses of `AttributeList::*Index`.
Update to use these new functions where possible. There's one use of
`AttrIndex` remaining as `replaceAttributeTypeAtIndex` still takes the
index and there is no `param` equivalent. We could add one locally, but
presumably that will be added eventually.
This change separates out the formation of the generic signature and
substitutions for a SIL substituted function type as a pre-pass
before doing the actual function type lowering. The only input we
really need to form this signature is the original abstraction pattern
that a type is being lowered against, and pre-computing it should make
the code less side-effecty and confusing. It also allows us to handle
generic nominal types in a more robust way; we transfer over all of
the nominal type requirements to the generalized generic signature,
then when recursively visiting the bindings, we same-type-constrain
the generic parameters used in those requirements to the newly-generalized
generic arguments. This ensures that the minimized signature preserves
any non-trivial requirements imposed by the nominal type, such as
conditional conformances on its type arguments, same-type constraints
among associated types, etc.
This approach does lead to less-than-optimal generalized generic
signatures getting generated, since nominal type generic arguments
get same-type-bound either to other generic arguments or fixed to
concrete types almost always. It would be useful to do a minimization
pass on the final generic signature to eliminate these unnecessary
generic arguments, but that can be done in a follow-up PR.
Replace the dynamic initialization of trivial globals with statically initialized globals, even in -Onone.
This is required to be able to use global variables in performance-annotated functions.
Also, it's a small performance improvement for -Onone.
This was a relict from the -sil-serialize-all days. This linkage doesn't make any sense because a private function cannot be referenced from another module (or file, in case of non-wmo compilation).
`objc_getRequiredClass` will produce a fatal error if the class isn't
found, which will prevent a malformed program using back-deployed @objc
actor from launching. Also eliminate the spurious `objc_opt_self`
call, which is unneeded given that we're realizing the metadata.
Thanks to Mike Ash for the review.
@objc actors implicitly inherit from the new, hidden
`SwiftNativeNSObject` class that inherits from `NSObject` yet provides
Swift-native reference counting, which is important for the actor
runtime's handling of zombies. However, `SwiftNativeNSObject` is only
available in the Swift runtime in newer OS versions (e.g., macOS
12.0/iOS 15.0), and is available in the back-deployed _Concurrency
library, but there is no stable place to link against for
back-deployed code. Tricky, tricky.
When back-deploying @objc actors, record `NSObject` as the superclass
in the metadata in the binary, because we cannot reference
`SwiftNativeNSObject`. Then, emit a static initializer to
dynamically look up `SwiftNativeNSObject` by name (which will find it
in either the back-deployment library, on older systems, or in the
runtime for newer systems), then swizzle that in as the superclass of
the @objc actor.

A new LLVM IR affordance that allows expressing conditions under which globals
can be removed/dropped (even when marked with @llvm.used) is being discussed at:
- <https://reviews.llvm.org/D104496>
- <https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2021-September/152656.html>
This is a preliminary implementation that marks runtime lookup records (namely
protocol records, type descriptors records and protocol conformance records)
with the !llvm.used.conditional descriptors. That allows link-time / LTO-time
removal of these records (by GlobalDCE) based on whether they're actually used
within the linkage unit. Effectively, this allows libraries that have a limited
and known set of clients, to be optimized against the client at LTO time, and
significantly reduce the code size of that library.
Parts of the implementation:
- New -conditional-runtime-records frontend flag to enable using !llvm.used.conditional
- IRGen code that emits these records can now emit these either as a single contiguous
array (asContiguousArray = true, the old way), which is used for JIT mode, or
as indivial globals (asContiguousArray = false), which is necessary for the
!llvm.used.conditional stripping to work.
- When records are emitted as individual globals, they have new names of
"\01l_protocol_" + mangled name of the protocol descriptor, and similarly for
other records.
- Fixed existing tests to account for individual records instead of a single array
- Added an IR level test, and an end-to-end execution test to demonstrate that
the !llvm.used.conditional-based stripping actually works.
- Under -internalize-at-link, stop unconditionally marking all globals as used.
- Under -internalize-at-link, restrict visibility of vtables to linkage unit.
- Emit virtual method thunks for cross-module vcalls when VFE is enabled.
- Use thunks for vcalls across modules when VFE is enabled.
- Adjust TBDGen to account for virtual method thunks when VFE is enabled.
- Add an end-to-end test case for cross-module VFE.
This is needed to for a future change, <https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/39313>, which will start to allow
under certain conditions to dead-strip unused types, protocols and conformances.
- Virtual calls are done via a @llvm.type.checked.load instrinsic call with a type identifier
- Type identifier of a vfunc is the base method's mangling
- Type descriptors and class metadata get !type markers that list offsets and type identifiers of all vfuncs
- The -enable-llvm-vfe frontend flag enables VFE
- Two added tests verify the behavior on IR and by executing a program
As of "ELF: Create unique SHF_GNU_RETAIN sections for llvm.used global
objects" (https://reviews.llvm.org/D97448) LLVM will create separate
sections for symbols marked as llvm.used. Use llvm.compiler.used
instead.

The MemoryBuffer loader is used by LLDB during debugging to import binary Swift
modules from .swift_ast sections. Modules imported from .swift_ast sections are
never produced from textual interfaces. By disabling resilience the expression
evaluator in the debugger can directly access private members.

In a back deployment scenario, this will provide a place where one could provide
function implementations that are not available in the relevant stdlib.
This is just setting up for future work and isn't doing anything interesting
beyond wiring it up/making sure that it is wired up correctly with tests.

Classes using the type-erased Objective-C generics model are represented in parts of IRGen as UnboundGenericTypes, which is a problem because a number of code paths expect all generic types to be bound. Update some of these that are involved in extensions on ObjC generic types.
Changes the task, taskGroup, asyncLet wait funtion call ABIs.
To reduce code size pass the context parameters and resumption function
as arguments to the wait function.
This means that the suspend point does not need to store parent context
and resumption to the suspend point's context.
```
void swift_task_future_wait_throwing(
OpaqueValue * result,
SWIFT_ASYNC_CONTEXT AsyncContext *callerContext,
AsyncTask *task,
ThrowingTaskFutureWaitContinuationFunction *resume,
AsyncContext *callContext);
```
The runtime passes the caller context to the resume entry point saving
the load of the parent context in the resumption function.
This patch adds a `Metadata *` field to `GroupImpl`. The await entry
pointer no longer pass the metadata pointer and there is a path through
the runtime where the task future is no longer available.
This showed up when trying to convert swift-package-manager to build
using static linking on Windows. We would not correctly identify the
module as being static due to there being no DeclContext for emission.
This adjusts the IRGen layer to accommodate the Windows linking model.
We assume dynamic linking by default. The static linking is enabled by
passing `-static` to the driver, which forwards it to the frontend when
building the module statically. This has already been required when
generating libraries, however, the non-Windows targets are more
forgiving and let it work. On those platforms, using this hint would
allow for more efficient code generation, reducing load times and some
runtime penalties from the PLT and GOT references formed to symbols
which are module local.
This corrects static linking on Windows, which is one of the last few
items that are missing on Windows. It also takes advantage of the hint
for the one peculiar difference between Windows and non-Windows:
protocol conformances that span module boundaries are not available as a
constant. However, when statically linking, we can enable those
conformances to be statically resolved. This should enable the last
known pattern to work when using static linking.
This support requires further work in the Swift Package Manager to
actually enable building libraries properly. However, when building
with CMake, this should be sufficient to enable static linking.
Previously, AsyncFunctionPointer constants were signed as code. That
was incorrect considering that these constants are in fact data. Here,
that is fixed.
