[HeapProf] Clang and LLVM support for heap profiling instrumentation

Summary

See RFC for background:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-June/142744.html

Note that the runtime changes will be sent separately (hopefully this
week, need to add some tests).

This patch includes the LLVM pass to instrument memory accesses with
either inline sequences to increment the access count in the shadow
location, or alternatively to call into the runtime. It also changes
calls to memset/memcpy/memmove to the equivalent runtime version.
The pass is modeled on the address sanitizer pass.

The clang changes add the driver option to invoke the new pass, and to
link with the upcoming heap profiling runtime libraries.

Currently there is no attempt to optimize the instrumentation, e.g. to
aggregate updates to the same memory allocation. That will be
implemented as follow on work.

LGTM with some nits

llvm/lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/HeapProfiler.cpp
125

maybe remove all static about and extend namespace {}

137

this could be ShadowMapping::ShadowMapping()

137

params are not used?

152–156

For consistency
or even "?:"

195

private/public can be reordered and struct converted to class

387

F->getIntrinsicID() == Intrinsic::masked_load
F->getIntrinsicID() == Intrinsic::masked_store

615

probably nicer to put output param into struct {} and rely on RVO
as is it's hard to track if they are initialized

one nit: since the same instrumentation can be used to profiling global variable accesses (especially those indirect accessed), the option name seems excluding those cases. Shall it be renamed to fmem-prof?

define a macro for the version number?

Thanks for the comments @vitalybuka and @davidxl, will address those shortly.

Hmm, good point. Do you think all the internals (pass name, runtime names, etc) need to be renamed similarly? Or just the external facing option?

If there is a default, the convention is to check just that flag:

Args.hasArg(OPT_fheapprof);

and remove -fno-heapprof as a CC1 option.

%clang++ does not work on Windows -> clang.exe++

Use %clangxx

It is better surrounding the argument with double quotes

I think the user visible option needs to match the functionality. Internal naming just needs some comments to document.

Addressed everyone's comments as well as the clang tidy warnings.

I had hoped to get the runtime part ready and uploaded today, but it looks like I won't make it. I'll be out all next week, so will get that sent when I'm back.

I decided to put them in a struct as you suggest but make it return Optional as that seemed cleaner.

lgtm. The user option should be documented after the runtime is ready.

There is a tab on this line. This makes the code not indented in git diff output.

llvm/lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/HeapProfiler.cpp
45

Consider constexpr int LLVM_HEAP_PROFILER_VERSION = 1;

48

For a constant in the source file, consider constexpr uint64_t DefaultShadowGranularity = 64; (constexpr implies const, which means internal linkage in a namespace scope, so you can avoid static)

57

constexpr char HeapProfInitName[] = "__heapprof_init";

100

Consider deleting DefaultShadowScale.

Alternatively, cl::init(DefaultShadowScale) and don't check getNumOccurrences() below.

105

ditto

Since this is new. Perhaps not deal with legacy pass manager at all?

For example, recently there has been objection on porting CGProfile to the legacy pass manager. For an entirely new thing, not handling legacy pass managers can avoid many tests.

The implementation file is HeapProfiler.cpp

Naming the test directory Heapprofiler can reduce the number of terms people have to memorize.

I am still trying to read the logic. Some comments to the tests. Some comments are applicable to other tests.

llvm/test/Instrumentation/HeapProfiling/basic.ll

It is important to add some -NEXT: here for better FileCheck diagnostics when things change.

23

CHECK-S3-NEXT can follow CHECK-NEXT

54

FP80Test may be more suitable.

(-mlong-double-128 can change the width)

61

CHECK-COUNT-1 here is actually identical to a CHECK. If there are two repeated lines, the pattern will still match.

Suggest deleting -COUNT-1. Change the next CHECK to a CHECK-NEXT: store x86_fp80 0xK3FFF8000000000000000, x86_fp80* %a

llvm/test/Instrumentation/HeapProfiling/instrumentation-use-callbacks.ll
16

With appropriate -NEXT: patterns, -NOT is not really needed.

It is also important to test the argument passed to __heapprof_load

llvm/test/Instrumentation/HeapProfiling/scale-granularity.ll
13

(Optional) One style I try to do to improve readability: when -LABEL or -NEXT is used, indent CHECK lines more than the -LABEL

; CHECK-GRAN-LABEL: @read_granularity(
; CHECK-GRAN:         and {{.*}} -32
; CHECK-GRAN-NEXT:    lshr {{.*}} 3
19

The IR of these functions is the same. Consider using one function with different sets of CHECK lines.

llvm/test/Instrumentation/HeapProfiling/version-mismatch-check.ll

| is misaligned. Consider not aligning at all

11

call void @__heapprof_version_mismatch_check_v1()

Otherwise there is no test checking the exact version.

I think I've addressed all the comments.

changed all of them.

203

Since the legacy pass manager is still the default, and adding the support was trivial, it makes sense to add the support there too.

llvm/test/Instrumentation/HeapProfiling/basic.ll
61

That doesn't work as that store x86_64 (the original store) is not NEXT. I just want to make sure that we have one shadow store, which was where the COUNT-1 came from. I've change that to a regular CHECK and added a CHECK-NOT store i64 before and after that sequence. Ditto elsewhere.

llvm/test/Instrumentation/HeapProfiling/instrumentation-use-callbacks.ll
16

The -NOT is needed to ensure there are no additional calls, without matching the full IR. I've expanded the testing to test the arguments though.

Your suggestion doesn't work as that reverses the handling. But in any case, the empty check seems unnecessary (that was cloned from the asan code), so I've removed that.

Remove unnecessary check

Good point, I'll send a patch for that later today.

Actually, that might be better after the runtime is committed. Since the generated code with this option won't actually work without that part.
