attributes: introduce allockind attr for describing allocator fn behavior

[durin42]

Summary

I chose to encode the allockind information in a string constant because
otherwise we would get a bit of an explosion of keywords to deal with
the possible permutations of allocation function types.

I'm not sure that CodeGen.h is the correct place for this enum, but it
seemed to kind of match the UWTableKind enum so I put it in the same
place. Constructive suggestions on a better location most certainly
encouraged.

[aykevl]

Not a real review but I found this which looks like a bug.

llvm/lib/AsmParser/LLParser.cpp

2061–2062

This looks incorrect to me.

Good catch, thanks!

I think I'd prefer using alloc rather than new terminology here. new is a C++ism.

1583

I think this needs to be a bit more precise. This function a) return a new block of memory or null, b) if the result is non-null, the memory contents from the start of the new block up to the minimum of the original allocation size and new allocation size match that of the allocptr argument and c) the allocptr argument is invalidated (in the sense of losing provenance) even if the function returns the same address.

1585

Can this be used only in conjunction with new or also with resize (where, in the latter case, it would refer only to memory past the original allocation size).

1588

Can only be used in conjunction with new and resize, presumably?

Unnecessary include.

I don't think CodeGen.h is a good fit for this, this doesn't really have anything to do with codegen. Maybe placing it directly in Attributes.h is fine (we can't have it in MemoryBuiltins.h due to layering).

llvm/lib/AsmParser/LLParser.cpp

Include A in message? I'd also expect a test case for at least this error condition.

[durin42]

I also renamed the enum entry from New to Alloc, hopefully that's what you had in mind.

[nikic]

llvm/docs/LangRef.rst

1581

"string is" -> "string contains"?

1584

Should reference "alloc" now. Also, I'd suggest to rename resize -> realloc to fully stick with the usual alloc/realloc/free terminology.

1601

Would it be preferable to forbid them (in the IR verifier) instead?

Changes no longer needed.

Can drop the braces from these, as they're single-line.

Oh, fancy. TIL about #@LINE-1.

[durin42]

llvm/docs/LangRef.rst

1601

I guess. I've talked myself out of that a few times, because I could envision an allocator where free() needs the alignment passed in for some reason and then it might be nice to mark it as allocalign? I dunno.

I've added the validation now, and tweaked the langref. I guess we can always relax it...

"new" -> "alloc" here

llvm/include/llvm/IR/Attributes.h

Space before comment is off here.

llvm/lib/IR/Attributes.cpp

458

Can use StringRef here, as strings are constant?

llvm/lib/IR/Verifier.cpp

2091

This enumeration of different combinations seems a bit awkward, maybe we can do something along these lines instead?

AllocFnKind Type = K & (AllocFnKind::Alloc | AllocFnKind::Realloc | AllocFnKind::Free);
if (!is_contained(Type, {AllocFnKind::Alloc, AllocFnKind::Realloc, AllocFnKind::Free))
  CheckFailed(...);

2094

The != AllocFnKind::Unknown checks here aren't really necessary, and imho don't really add to readability either. (K & AllocFnKind::Free) should be directly usable as a boolean. (Though I don't care strongly about this.)

[aykevl]

llvm/docs/LangRef.rst

Is it worth saying something about alloc(0)? C malloc(0) may or may not return NULL depending on the implementation:

If the size of the space requested is zero, the behavior is implementation-defined: either a null pointer is returned to indicate an error, or the behavior is as if the size were some nonzero value, except that the returned pointer shall not be used to access an object.

[nikic]

llvm/docs/LangRef.rst

1584

I guess we may want to omit the "if the allocation fails" here (and just make null a valid value -- unless the return is nonnull of course), but I don't think a more specific guarantee on the behavior of zero-sized allocations is needed for the kinds of optimizations we're interested in performing. Or do you have something in mind where this would matter?

For reference, the wording for allocsize is:

This attribute indicates that the annotated function will always return at least a given number of bytes (or null)

It does not further specify in which cases null/non-null may be returned.

[durin42]

llvm/lib/IR/Verifier.cpp

2091

Very nice, I like it. Thanks!

2094

It's not: error: could not convert ‘llvm::BitmaskEnumDetail::operator&<llvm::AllocFnKind>(Kind, llvm::AllocFnKind::Free)’ from ‘llvm::AllocFnKind’ to ‘bool’

I think the BitmaskEnum stuff is getting in the way, and it's beyond my C++-fu to figure out how to allow them to be convertible to bool.

[nikic]

LGTM

Missing period at end of sentence.

You don't define this function -- or at least not in this patch.

llvm/lib/IR/Verifier.cpp

Oh yeah, BitmaskEnum is doing some serious magic here...

Oh good catch, this prototype was in the wrong patch. I've moved it to the correct one. Thanks!

llvm/docs/LangRef.rst

 ``"alloc-family"="FAMILY"``
     This indicates which "family" an allocator function is part of. To avoid 
     collisions, the family name should match the mangled name of the primary 
     allocator function, that is "malloc" for malloc/calloc/realloc/free, 
     "_Znwm" for ``::operator::new`` and ``::operator::delete``, and
     "_ZnwmSt11align_val_t" for aligned ``::operator::new`` and
     ``::operator::delete``. Matching malloc/realloc/free calls within a family
     can be optimized, but mismatched ones will be left alone.
+``allockind("KIND")``
+    Describes the behavior of an allocation function. The KIND string contains comma
+    separated entries from the following options:
+     * "alloc": the function returns a new block of memory, or null if the
+       allocation fails
+     * "realloc": the function returns a new block of memory or null. If the
+       result is non-null the memory contents from the start of the block up to
+       the smaller of the original allocation size and the new allocation size
+       will match that of the ``allocptr`` argument and the ``allocptr``
+       argument is invalidated, even if the function returns the same address.
+     * "free": the function frees the block of memory specified by ``allocptr``
+     * "uninitialized": Any newly-allocated memory (either a new block from 
+       a "new" function or the enlarged capacity from a "realloc" function) will
+       be uninitialized.
+     * "zeroed": Any newly-allocated memory (either a new block from a "new"
+       function or the enlarged capacity from a "realloc" function) will be
+       zeroed.
+     * "aligned": the function returns memory aligned according to the 
+       ``allocalign`` parameter.
+    The first three options are mutually exclusive, and the remaining options
+    describe more details of how the function behaves. The remaining options
+    are invalid for "free"-type functions.
 ``allocsize(<EltSizeParam>[, <NumEltsParam>])``
     This attribute indicates that the annotated function will always return at
     least a given number of bytes (or null). Its arguments are zero-indexed
     parameter numbers; if one argument is provided, then it's assumed that at
     least ``CallSite.Args[EltSizeParam]`` bytes will be available at the
     returned pointer. If two are provided, then it's assumed that
     ``CallSite.Args[EltSizeParam] * CallSite.Args[NumEltsParam]`` bytes are
     available. The referenced parameters must be integer types. No assumptions
