ProtocolConformanceRef already has an invalid state. Drop all of the
uses of Optional<ProtocolConformanceRef> and just use
ProtocolConformanceRef::forInvalid() to represent it. Mechanically
translate all of the callers and callsites to use this new
representation.
We can't access types in the same module if they are private: they could
be in a different TU.
We can't access types from different modules if they are private or
internal.
Some more information can be gleaned from the resilience expansion: A
minimally resilient function can't reference private or internal types.

This removes it from the AST and largely replaces it with AnyObject
at the SIL and IRGen layers. Some notes:
- Reflection still uses the notion of "unknown object" to mean an
object with unknown refcounting. There's no real reason to make
this different from AnyObject (an existential containing a
single object with unknown refcounting), but this way nothing
changes for clients of Reflection, and it's consistent with how
native objects are represented.
- The value witness table and reflection descriptor for AnyObject
use the mangling "BO" instead of "yXl".
- The demangler and remangler continue to support "BO" because it's
still in use as a type encoding, even if it's not an AST-level
Type anymore.
- Type-based alias analysis for Builtin.UnknownObject was incorrect,
so it's a good thing we weren't using it.
- Same with enum layout. (This one assumed UnknownObject never
referred to an Objective-C tagged pointer. That certainly wasn't how
we were using it!)

We want to substitute opaque result types in addTypeRef but when we pass
SILFunctionTypes this would fail because AST type substitution does not
support lowered SIL types.
Instead add addLoweredTypeRef which substitutes based on SILTypes.

In too many places, we were calling into `emitDynamicTypeOfOpaqueHeapObject` even when we had
more specific type information about the heap object we were querying. Replace all calls with
`emitDynamicTypeOfHeapObject`, which uses the best available access path and completely avoids
runtime calls for pure Swift classes and heap objects. When targeting non-ObjC-interop platforms,
we also know we never need to call `swift_getObjectType`, so avoid doing so altogether.
This indicates that the "self" argument to the current function is always dynamically of the exact
static base class type, allowing metadata accesses in IRGen to use the local self metadata to answer
metadata requests for the class type. Set this attribute on allocating entry points of designated
inits, which is one of the most common places where we emit redundant metadata accesses.
Class methods always have a "self" argument that can be used to get the metadata of the dynamic
Self type, which in final classes is always the same as the statically-known base class. Use this
to avoid reconstructing the static base class type.
The Swift 5.1 runtime (and master, for the time being) do not successfully demangle this mangling,
so for the time being, fall back to open-coded metadata access in this case. Workaround for
rdar://problem/54084733.
If we're allowed to know at IRGen time what the underlying type of an opaque type is, we can
satisfy references to the opaque type's metadata or protocol witness tables by directly referencing
the underlying type instead.
Metadata accessors that take <=3 arguments have to put the arguments in a temporary buffer and
move the registers around in order to call swift_getGenericMetadata. We can factor this into a
common shim function.
When we generate code that asks for complete metadata for a fully concrete specific type that
doesn't have trivial metadata access, like `(Int, String)` or `[String: [Any]]`,
generate a cache variable that points to a mangled name, and use a common accessor function
that turns that cache variable into a pointer to the instantiated metadata. This saves a bunch
of code size, and should have minimal runtime impact, since the demangling of any string only
has to happen once.
This mostly just works, though it exposed a couple of issues:
- Mangling a type ref including objc protocols didn't cause the objc protocol record to get
instantiated. Fixed as part of this patch.
- The runtime type demangler doesn't correctly handle retroactive conformances. If there are
multiple retroactive conformances in a process at runtime, then even though the mangled string
refers to a specific conformance, the runtime still just picks one without listening to the
mangler. This is left to fix later, rdar://problem/53828345.
There is some more follow-up work that we can do to further improve the gains:
- We could improve the runtime-provided entry points, adding versions that don't require size
to be cached, and which can handle arbitrary metadata requests. This would allow for mangled
names to also be used for incomplete metadata accesses and improve code size of some generic
type accessors. However, we'd only be able to take advantage of the new entry points in
OSes that ship a new runtime.
- We could choose to always symbolic reference all type references, which would generally reduce
the size of mangled strings, as well as make runtime demangling more efficient, since it wouldn't
need to hit the runtime caches. This would however require that we be able to handle symbolic
references across files in the MetadataReader in order to avoid regressing remote mirror
functionality.
Dynamic replacement can only really get away with replacing opaque return types if a function's
opaque type has never been instantiated in the first place. Meanwhile, repeatedly instantiating
the metadata is too slow for many clients to tolerate. Fixes rdar://problem/53213600.
This is to support dynamic function replacement of functions with opaque
result type.
This approach requires that all state is thrown away (that could contain the
old returned type for an opaque type) between replacements.

If a class has resilient metadata from our point of view, it might
still not have a class stub, if its entire inheritance chain is
defined in a single module.
Note that inserting a superclass is still a resilient operation;
the only way to change a class from having static metadata to having
a class stub is to change it's root class, which is not something
we can do resiliently.
Instead of a wholly separate lazyness mechanism for foreign metadata where
the first call to getAddrOfForeignTypeMetadataCandidate() would emit the
metadata, emit it using the lazy metadata mechanism.
This eliminates some code duplication. It also ensures that foreign
metadata is only emitted once per SIL module, and not once per LLVM
module, avoiding duplicate copies that must be ODR'd away in multi-threaded
mode.
This fixes the test case from <rdar://problem/49710077>.
Non-generic classes with resilient ancestry do not have statically-emitted
metadata, so we can now emit an Objective-C resilient class stub instead.
Also, when emitting an Objective-C category, reference the class stub if
the class has resilient ancestry; previously this case would hit an assert.
Note that class stubs always start with a zero word, with the address point
pointing immediately after. This works around a linker issue, where the
linker tries to coalesce categories and gets confused upon encountering a
class stub.
This consolidates the various doesClassMetadataRequire*() checks, making
them more managable.
This also adds a forth state, ClassMetadataStrategy::Update. This will be used
when deploying to the new Objective-C runtime. For now it's not plumbed through.
Progress on <rdar://problem/47649465>.
In our initial approach for resolving metadata dependency cycles with classes, non-transitively complete superclass metadata was fetched by the subclass's metadata completion function and passed to `swift_initClassMetadata`. That could mean generating quite a lot of code in the completion function, and so we fairly recently changed it so that `swift_initClassMetadata` instead fetched the superclass metadata via a demangling. Unfortunately, the metadata demangler only fetches _abstract_ metadata by default, and class metadata cannot be considered even non-transitively complete when its superclass reference not at that stage. If the superclass metadata is being completed on one thread, and a subclass is being completed on another, and the subclass installs the incomplete superclass metadata in its superclass field and attempts to register the subclass with the Objective-C runtime, the runtime may crash reading the incompletely-initialized superclass.
The proper fix is to make `swift_initClassMetadata` fetch non-transitively complete metadata for the superclass, delaying completion if that metadata is unavailable. Unfortunately, that can't actually be implemented on top of `swift_initClassMetadata` because that function has no means of reporting an unsatisfied dependency to its caller, and we can no longer simply change its signature without worrying about a small of internal code that might still be using it. We cannot simply perform a blocking metadata request in `swift_initClassMetadata` because it is deeply problematic to block within a metadata completion function. The solution is therefore to add a `swift_initClassMetadata2` which has the ability to report unsatisfied dependencies. That was done in #22386; this patch builds on that by teaching the compiler to generate code to actually use it. It is therefore not safe to use this patch if you might be running on an OS that only provides the old runtime function, but that should be a temporary Apple-internal problem.

Use the `IRLInkage::InternalLinkOnceODR` linkage rather than computing
that in a couple of sites. This gives us semantic meaning to the
linkage being applied. NFC.
Extend the key-path pattern with a representation of the generic environment
of the key-path, which includes the generic parameters and generic
requirements of the environment.
When a type in keypath metadata is non-dependent, use a mangled type name
rather than a symbolic reference to an accessor function.

Switch key path metadata over to mangled names for each of the places it
refers to either a type metadata accessor or a witness table accessor. For
now, the mangled name is a symbolic reference to the existing accessors.
