Current stack size diagnostics ignore the size of the unsafe stack.
This patch attaches the size of the static portion of the unsafe stack
to the function as metadata, which can be used by the backend to emit
diagnostics regarding stack usage.

1212–1213 | I am not exactly sure, but https://reviews.llvm.org/D39788, which I believe adds the feature seems like it is only used for diagnostic information according to the RFC they mention: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-August/117028.html. Changing the behavior to be aware of the safe-stack, however, does seem consistent with the original goal of the feature, so I'm happy to update the patch to reflect that. |
@MatzeB @seaneveson Can either of you confirm that the logic we're inserting here is not in conflict with the stack size section? Based on D39788 and the original RFC, I would say accounting for safe stack usage is the correct thing to do, but I am not certain.

Update tests.
- Dont rely on size of int based on platform
- Add checking to backend tests for warn-stack-size to ensure the behavior is consistant when safestack is enabled
LGTM

4 | Is there any particular reason for using the i386-apple-darwin triple here and below? I'm not even sure if SafeStack is officially supported and tested on Darwin, x86_64-linux may be a safer choice. |
Hi @paulkirth,
using of specific triple within stack-usage-safestack.c test causes a failure for the compilers, which don't support these triples (arm/aarch64 in my case).
Such as:
error: unable to create target: 'No available targets are compatible with triple "i386-apple-darwin"'
see more details in https://lab.llvm.org/buildbot/#/builders/119/builds/8169/steps/9/logs/FAIL__Clang__stack-usage-safestack_c result for the failed build.
would you fix the test by removing these triples from the command line or by isolating this test for specific target with // REQUIRES: directive?
Oh, that's surprising. I followed the procedure from another test, so I'm surprised that this is failing when that one is not, but maybe I missed the REQUIRES directive. I can probably get a change out fairly quickly, but if its blocking you, feel free to revert this and we can re-land later.
I think this should be a bitcode-level test à la test/CodeGen/X86/warn-stack.ll
Or at least it should use fixed-size integers so that the checked values are more explicit (a.k.a the test here works because of the triple that implies sizeof(int) == 4).
