[BOLT] Improve DWARF CFI generation for pac-ret binaries (#163381) During InsertNegateRAState pass we check the annotations on instructions, to decide where to generate the OpNegateRAState CFIs in the output binary. As only instructions in the input binary were annotated, we have to make a judgement on instructions generated by other BOLT passes. Incorrect placement may cause issues when an (async) unwind request is received during the new "unknown" instructions. This patch adds more logic to make a more informed decision on by taking into account: - unknown instructions in a BasicBlock with other instruction have the same RAState. Previously, if the BasicBlock started with an unknown instruction, the RAState was copied from the preceding block. Now, the RAState is copied from the succeeding instructions in the same block. - Some BasicBlocks may only contain instructions with unknown RAState, As explained in issue #160989, these blocks already have incorrect unwind info. Because of this, the last known RAState based on the layout order is copied. Updated bolt/docs/PacRetDesign.md to reflect changes.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
