Reimplement protocol descriptors for Swift protocols as a kind of
context descriptor, dropping the Objective-C protocol compatibility
layout. The new protocol descriptors have several advantages over the
current implementation:
* They drop all of the unused fields required for layout-compatibility
with Objective-C protocols.
* They encode the full requirement signature of the protocol. This
maintains more information about the protocol itself, including
(e.g.) correctly encoding superclass requirements.
* They fit within the general scheme of context descriptors, rather than
being their own thing, which allows us to share more code with
nominal type descriptors.
* They only use relative pointers, so they’re smaller and can be placed
in read-only memory
Implements rdar://problem/38815359.
Switch one entry point in the runtime (swift_getExistentialTypeMetadata)
to use ProtocolDescriptorRef rather than a protocol descriptor. Update
IRGen to produce ProtocolDescriptorRef instances for its calls, setting
the discriminator bit appropriately.
Within the runtime, verify that all instances of ProtocolDescriptorRef have
the right layout, i.e., the discriminator bit is set for @objc protocols
but not Swift protocols.
Use ProtocolDescriptorRefs within the runtime representation of
existential type metadata (TargetExistentialTypeMetadata) instead of
bare protocol descriptor pointers. Start rolling out the use of
ProtocolDescriptorRef in a few places in the runtime that touch this
code. Note that we’re not yet establishing any strong invariants on
the TargetProtocolDescriptorRef instances.
While here, replace TargetExistentialTypeMetadata’s hand-rolled pointer
arithmetic with swift::ABI::TrailingObjects and centralize knowledge of
its layout better.
Follow-up to 3ed3774e07. On Apple OSs that don't have the new
Objective-C runtime function 'objc_setHook_getImageName', override the
system definition of 'class_getImageName' by literally rewriting
symbol tables at run time.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The low-level part of this patch was written by Greg Parker, then
simplified and tweaked by me to fit the Swift coding style. Don't try
this at home; it comes with all sorts of caveats and won't actually
work on this year's iOS. (Fortunately we don't need it there, because
that will have the new ObjC entry point.)
The rest of the patch is pretty straightforward: the replacement
implementation calls the code that supports Swift objects (the same
code we use on newer OSs), which then chains back to the original
system implementation of class_getImageName. May we never have to
touch this again.

This not only restores the correct behavior for classes with generic
ancestry, but also handles actual generic classes as well. (This is
the function that backs Foundation's Bundle.init(for: AnyClass)
initializer.)

This code would previously read off the end of the allocated metadata to fetch these values. This was usually harmless, as the value was never used in that case. However, on rare occasions the metadata would be right before unmapped memory, and this read would crash trying to access that unmapped memory.

Dynamic subclasses aren't /really/ valid Swift type metadata, but
they can still be used as values of type AnyClass. Make sure we
don't assert when that happens.
No intended functionality change.
Clang-importer-synthesized declarations get an extra tag character included in their mangling, which was not being preserved in type context descriptors. This caused runtime lookup for these synthesized types to fail. Fix this by adding the tag information to type context descriptors and teaching the runtime to match it up when fetching metadata by mangled name. Fixes rdar://problem/40878715.
And update the existential container's initializeWithTake implementation
in the runtime. After only allowing bitwise takable values in the
inline buffer we can use memcpy to move existential container values.

We want to be able to potentially introduce new metadata kinds in future Swift compilers, so a runtime ought to be able to degrade gracefully in the face of metadata kinds it doesn't know about. Remove attempts to exhaustively switch over metadata kinds and instead treat unknown metadata kinds as opaque.
- Add swift_getForeignWitnessTable to unique non-unique foreign type
witness tables
- IRGen: Call the foreign witness uniquing runtime function

Type of elements contained by field offsets vector can be adjusted
to 32-bit integers (from being pointer sized) to safe space in the
binary since segment size is limited to 4 GB.

I was going to put this off for awhile, but it turns out that a lot of
my testcases are enums with multi-payload cases, which we currently
compile as tuples, so they were all still hanging until this patch.
I de-templated MetadataState and MetadataRequest because we weren't
relying on the template and because using the template was causing
conversion problems due to the inability to directly template an enum
in C++.
Rename it to swift_initClassMetadata() just like we recently did
swift_initStructMetadata(), and add a StructLayoutFlags parameter
so we can version calls to this function in the future.
Maybe at some point this will become a separate ClassLayoutFlags
type, but at this point it doesn't matter because IRGen always
passes a value of 0.
This includes global generic and non-generic global access
functions, protocol associated type access functions,
swift_getGenericMetadata, and generic type completion functions.
The main part of this change is that the functions now need to take
a MetadataRequest and return a MetadataResponse, which is capable
of expressing that the request can fail. The state of the returned
metadata is reported as an second, independent return value; this
allows the caller to easily check the possibility of failure without
having to mask it out from the returned metadata pointer, as well
as allowing it to be easily ignored.
Also, change metadata access functions to use swiftcc to ensure that
this return value is indeed returned in two separate registers.
Also, change protocol associated conformance access functions to use
swiftcc. This isn't really related, but for some reason it snuck in.
Since it's clearly the right thing to do, and since I really didn't
want to retroactively tease that back out from all the rest of the
test changes, I've left it in.
Also, change generic metadata access functions to either pass all
the generic arguments directly or pass them all indirectly. I don't
know how we ended up with the hybrid approach. I needed to change all
the code-generation and calls here anyway in order to pass the request
parameter, and I figured I might as well change the ABI to something
sensible.
I was trying to make the entry-delegation thing do *way* too much.
Just give the entry access to the lock/queue and introduce subclasses
which simplify most of the work.
Also, fix some bad reasoning around the attempts to avoid acquiring
locks in the absence of waiters. It really is always necessary to
acquire the lock when notifying; waiters cannot atomically set the
has-waiters flag and wait, so we have to protect against the
possibility that we notify before they can wait.
Now that every foreign type has a type context descriptor, we can use that for a uniquing key instead of a dedicated mangled string, saving some code size especially in code that makes heavy use of imported types. rdar://problem/37537241
Change generic witness table instantiation to use a more lightweight
entry scheme that allocates the witness table as part of the entry.
In contrast, change generic metadata instantiation to use a more
straightforward allocation scheme where the metadata is a totally
independent allocation.
This is preparation for proper cyclic-dependency handling.
This regression wasn't caught by normal testing because the emission
pattern substantially changed anyway, breaking tests that were looking for
the field-offset vector, and because normal execution testing doesn't
actually use the field-offset vector and enum payload size fields.
Reflection, which does use these fields, was skating by for common types
because metadata is typically allocated out of freshly zeroed pages and
most such types have only one field.
Also, don't emit a completion function for value metadata with fixed layout.
We really shouldn't have to emit field-offset vectors for fixed-layout types;
the layout should just go in the type descriptor. But for now, this is what
we have to do.
The allocation phase is guaranteed to succeed and just puts enough
of the structure together to make things work.
The completion phase does any component metadata lookups that are
necessary (for the superclass, fields, etc.) and performs layout;
it can fail and require restart.
Next up is to support this in the runtime; then we can start the
process of making metadata accessors actually allow incomplete
metadata to be fetched.
