This commit adds compiler support for two basic operations needed for binding
SIMD on x86 platforms:
* First, a `nontemporal_store` intrinsic was added for the `_mm_stream_ps`, seen
in rust-lang-nursery/stdsimd#114. This was relatively straightforward and is
quite similar to the volatile store intrinsic.
* Next, and much more intrusively, a new type to the backend was added. The
`x86_mmx` type is used in LLVM for a 64-bit vector register and is used in
various intrinsics like `_mm_abs_pi8` as seen in rust-lang-nursery/stdsimd#74.
This new type was added as a new layout option as well as having support added
to the trans backend. The type is enabled with the `#[repr(x86_mmx)]`
attribute which is intended to just be an implementation detail of SIMD in
Rust.
I'm not 100% certain about how the `x86_mmx` type was added, so any extra eyes
or thoughts on that would be greatly appreciated!
Emit better debugging information for a trait object pointer. In
particular, now:
* The fields are explicitly represented in the DWARF;
* DWARF for the vtable itself is emitted; and
* The DWARF for the vtable's type has a DW_AT_containing_type which
points to the concrete type for which the vtable was emitted. This is
a small DWARF extension, that allows debuggers to determine the real
type of the object to which a trait object points.
I'll submit the gdb patch to take advantage of this new debuginfo once
this lands.
The vtable type is not currently complete -- it doesn't include members
for the pointers it contains. This information was not needed for this
feature.
This addresses part 1 of #1563.
... rather than being gated by -Z saturating-float-casts.
There are several reasons for this:
1. Const eval already implements this behavior.
2. Unlike with float->int casts, this behavior is uncontroversially the
right behavior and it is not as performance critical. Thus there is no
particular need to make the bug fix for u128->f32 casts opt-in.
3. Having two orthogonal features under one flag is silly, and never
should have happened in the first place.
4. Benchmarking float->int casts with the -Z flag should not pick up
performance changes due to the u128->f32 casts (assuming there are any).
Fixes#41799
Saturating casts between integers and floats
Introduces a new flag, `-Z saturating-float-casts`, which makes code generation for int->float and float->int casts safe (`undef`-free), implementing [the saturating semantics laid out by](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/10184#issuecomment-299229143) @jorendorff for float->int casts and overflowing to infinity for `u128::MAX` -> `f32`.
Constant evaluation in trans was changed to behave like HIR const eval already did, i.e., saturate for u128->f32 and report an error for problematic float->int casts.
Many thanks to @eddyb, whose APFloat port simplified many parts of this patch, and made HIR constant evaluation recognize dangerous float casts as mentioned above.
Also thanks to @ActuallyaDeviloper whose branchless implementation served as inspiration for this implementation.

This affects regular code generation as well as constant evaluation in trans,
but not the HIR constant evaluator because that one returns an error for
overflowing casts and NaN-to-int casts. That error is conservatively
correct and we should be careful to not accept more code in constant
expressions.
The changes to code generation are guarded by a new -Z flag, to be able
to evaluate the performance impact. The trans constant evaluation changes
are unconditional because they have no run time impact and don't affect
type checking either.
Initially MIR differentiated between arguments and locals, which
introduced a need to add extra copies assigning the argument to a
local, even for simple bindings. This differentiation no longer exists,
but we're still creating those copies, bloating the MIR and LLVM IR we
emit.
Additionally, the current approach means that we create debug info for
both the incoming argument (marking it as an argument), and then
immediately shadow it a local that goes by the same name. This can be
confusing when using e.g. "info args" in gdb, or when e.g. a debugger
with a GUI displays the function arguments separately from the local
variables, especially when the binding is mutable, because the argument
doesn't change, while the local variable does.
The necessary changes were only in upstream LLVM in 4.0, but they were
for a while backported to Rust LLVM. Now that Rust LLVM is also 4.0, we
can make the test conditional here more accurate.
This informs LLVM that functions can't unwind, which while it should typically
have already been inferred when necessary or otherwise not impact codegen is
apparently needed on targets like ARM to avoid references to unnecessary
symbols.
Closes#44992
This commit flags all allocation-related functions in liballoc as "this can't
unwind" which should largely resolve the size-related issues found on #42808.
The documentation on the trait was updated with such a restriction (they can't
panic) as well as some other words about the relative instability about
implementing a bullet-proof allocator.
Closes#42808
Optimize initialization of arrays using repeat expressions
This PR was inspired by [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/6o8ok9/understanding_rust_performances_a_newbie_question/) on Reddit.
It tries to bring array initialization in the same ballpark as `Vec::from_elem()` for unoptimized builds.
For optimized builds this should relieve LLVM of having to figure out the construct we generate is in fact a `memset()`.
To that end this emits `llvm.memset()` when:
* the array is of integer type and all elements are zero (`Vec::from_elem()` also explicitly optimizes for this case)
* the array elements are byte sized
If the array is zero-sized initialization is omitted entirely.
This elides initialization for zero-sized arrays:
* for zero-sized elements we previously emitted an empty loop
* for arrays with a length of zero we previously emitted a loop with zero
iterations
This emits llvm.memset() instead of a loop over each element when:
* all elements are zero integers
* elements are byte sized
This commit adds a disabled builder which will run all tests for the standard
library for aarch64 in a QEMU instance. Once we get enough capacity to run this
on Travis this can be used to boost our platform coverage of AArch64
Update Rust LLVM bindings for LLVM 5.0
This is the initial set of changes to update the rust llvm bindings for 5.0. The llvm commits necessitating these changes are linked from the tracking issue, #43370.
This still does not work on 32-bit archs because of an LLVM limitation,
but this is only an optimization, so let's push it on 64-bit only for now.
Fixes#37945
This commit implements stack probes on x86/x86_64 using the freshly landed
support upstream in LLVM. The purpose of stack probes here are to guarantee a
segfault on stack overflow rather than having a chance of running over the guard
page already present on all threads by accident.
At this time there's no support for any other architecture because LLVM itself
does not have support for other architectures.
This PR is an implementation of [RFC 1974] which specifies a new method of
defining a global allocator for a program. This obsoletes the old
`#![allocator]` attribute and also removes support for it.
[RFC 1974]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/197
The new `#[global_allocator]` attribute solves many issues encountered with the
`#![allocator]` attribute such as composition and restrictions on the crate
graph itself. The compiler now has much more control over the ABI of the
allocator and how it's implemented, allowing much more freedom in terms of how
this feature is implemented.

MIR EndRegion Statements (was MIR dataflow for Borrows)
This PR adds an `EndRegion` statement to MIR (where the `EndRegion` statement is what terminates a borrow).
An earlier version of the PR implemented a dataflow analysis on borrow expressions, but I am now factoring that into a follow-up PR so that reviewing this one is easier. (And also because there are some revisions I want to make to that dataflow code, but I want this PR to get out of WIP status...)
This is a baby step towards MIR borrowck. I just want to get the review process going while I independently work on the remaining steps.
