[WPD] Use new llvm.public.type.test intrinsic for potentially publicly visible classes
ClosedPublic

Authored by aeubanks on Jun 30 2022, 3:19 PM.

Details

Summary

Turning on opaque pointers has uncovered an issue with WPD where we currently pattern match away assume(type.test) in WPD so that a later LTT doesn't resolve the type test to undef and introduce an assume(false). The pattern matching can fail in cases where we transform two assume(type.test)s into assume(phi(type.test.1, type.test.2)).

Currently we create assume(type.test) for all virtual calls that might be devirtualized. This is to support -Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility.

To prevent this, all virtual calls that may not be in the same LTO module instead use a new llvm.public.type.test intrinsic in place of the llvm.type.test. Then when we know if -Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility is passed or not, we can either replace all llvm.public.type.test with llvm.type.test, or replace all llvm.public.type.test with true. This prevents WPD from trying to pattern match away assume(type.test) for public virtual calls when failing the pattern matching will result in miscompiles.

make sure not to regress windows by checking HasHiddenLTOVisibility() to decide whether to emit public.type.test vs type.test

I did verify that -fvisibility=hidden still devirtualizes, and same with -Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility, but not if both are missing

I'm not sure where the best place to put these is

Thanks for implementing this!

In D71913, I also modified this code, which might need something similar: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/59afc4038b1096bc6fea7b322091f6e5e2dc0b38/clang/lib/CodeGen/ItaniumCXXABI.cpp#L707-L713

Why remove this one here and below?

clang/test/CodeGenCXX/type-metadata.cpp

It's a little confusing to distinguish the results by prefixing them as "CFI" or "VTABLE". Afaict the behavior is determined by whether -fvisibility=hidden has been passed in all cases for Itanium.

And MS is always hidden from what I see here? So in that case no need to split the expected results into two copies.

Add comments about what is being tested. Also good to test via llvm-lto2 which has a similar -whole-program-visibility option, rather than just via lld here. See for example llvm/test/ThinLTO/X86/devirt_vcall_vis_public.ll.

llvm/lib/LTO/LTOBackend.cpp

I don't think that this will work for distributed ThinLTO, where the ThinLTO Backends are run via clang, which isn't going to have this config variable set (since it is set only during LTO linking). I think something may need to be recorded in the index as a flag there at thin link / indexing time that can be checked here.

It would then be nice to consolidate this handling into WPD itself, e.g. at the start of DevirtModule::run, but unfortunately we won't have a summary index for pure regular LTO WPD so I don't think that would work. So in here is ok but I would do it early to handle some of the early return cases.

(Please add a distributed ThinLTO test too)

Shouldn't we have converted all of these by now?

we end up RAUWing the public.type.test with true and end up with assume(true) which is harmless and gets removed by something like instcombine

Added a distributed ThinLTO test: clang/test/CodeGenCXX/thinlto_public_type_test_distributed.ll.

I added ModuleSummaryIndex::WithWholeProgramVisibility but I'm not sure where I'd set it, and that's causing the test to fail.

Hmm, I vaguely remember adding this because some clang test failed (something to do with the extra LTT we add in BackendUtil.cpp), but reverting this doesn't cause any failures.

ah, I needed a separate WPV flag in llvm-lto2 to set llvm::lto::Config, now everything passes

Sure, but it should still be gone and can confirm that here? If it isn't useful to check for, then the comment should probably be changed too since it mentions assumes.

Is there a reason why the hidden version checks after promote but the public version above checks after importing?

clang/test/CodeGenCXX/type-metadata.cpp
212–213

Is the CFI-VT-ITANIUM and CFI-VT-MS split needed? I don't see any differences in their checking. Can we go back to just a single CFI-VT here?

lld/test/ELF/lto/update_public_type_test.ll

Yeah sure that's fine. But maybe also add a direct check there in both cases after promote that the public.type.test/assume were transformed as expected as you do in this test.

Probably need to do for the legacy LTO API as well, which also calls updateVCallVisibilityInModule (LTOCodeGenerator.cpp). This is used both some other linkers such as ld64. Otherwise I think the public.type.test intrinsics will never get converted for those LTO users, leading to errors probably? You can test the legacy LTO via llvm-lto (e.g. see tests in llvm/test/LTO/X86).

llvm/lib/LTO/LTOBackend.cpp
565

Can we just check the combined index flag now?

599

I see from your most recent update that you added code to set/check this new index flag. But I think you would want to set it around the same place where we update the vcall visibility during the thin link (see calls to updateVCallVisibilityInIndex). And I would do it via a new method in the WPD source file that uses the existing hasWholeProgramVisibility() that checks the OR of the config flag or the internal option. Then you don't need to add a new flag to llvm-lto2 for this purpose.

Also, as I noted for the regular LTO handling elsewhere, I think you need to add similar handling for the legacy LTO implementation. See other callers to updateVCallVisibilityInIndex.

llvm/lib/Transforms/IPO/LowerTypeTests.cpp
1849 ↗(On Diff #444706)

Related to some of my other comments about ensuring we do the conversion for the legacy LTO interfaces, perhaps this we should assert here if there are any remaining public.type.test intrinsics? Not sure what the failure mode is if any of those stick around otherwise.

the assert that there are no public.type.tests in LTT fails on CodeGenCXX/thinlto-distributed-type-metadata.cpp. for some reason clang doesn't go through the LTO API at [1], it just ends up calling the normal optimization pipeline. any ideas why?

Ah ok, that handling is for some cases where we may decide not to do ThinLTO, but rather compile the IR down to native code normally without a thin link (we use that feature for distributed build system reasons). Looks like we need a fallback mechanism to convert these in that case. Maybe right at the start of DevirtModule::run? We could do in LTT where you are currently asserting too, but to me it seems more natural to get rid of these at the start of WPD, because with LTO they are gone by then.

The new version switched this from a regular LTO to ThinLTO test. I think we need both. Can you move the new version into llvm/test/ThinLTO/X86 and make this version back to testing the regular LTO old API handling, but with checks?

done, had to add a new flag to dump IR right before optimizations

@fhahn started to work on this at some point (see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41541), but I'm not sure of the status. It is used by ld64 and I believe the sony toolchain too.

Just realized there isn't any testing of the regular LTO handling with the new LTO API. Can you extend this test to check regular LTO as well?

llvm/test/LTO/X86/public-type-test.ll
3 ↗(On Diff #446566)

I see, looks like llvm-lto has a thinlto-save-temps that is wired up to dump the same outputs as the new LTO API's save temps, but regular LTO didn't have the same support. I'd go ahead and use the same naming convention (0.preopt.bc) for compatibility with the new LTO API, in case that save temps handling is ever generalized to support both thin and regular LTO.

Yes, all linker users are out of tree. Only llvm-lto is in tree for testing.

AFAIK ld64 uses ThinLTOCodeGenerator/LTOCodeGenerator through libTLO, which is in-tree (llvm/tools/lto/lto.cpp)
