[Windows SEH]: HARDWARE EXCEPTION HANDLING (MSVC -EHa) - Part 1

This patch is the Part-1 (FE Clang) implementation of HW Exception handling.

This new feature adds the support of Hardware Exception

[Windows SEH]: HARDWARE EXCEPTION HANDLING (MSVC -EHa) - Part 1

This patch is the Part-1 (FE Clang) implementation of HW Exception handling.

This new feature adds the support of Hardware Exception for Microsoft Windows
SEH (Structured Exception Handling).
This is the first step of this project; only X86_64 target is enabled in this patch.

Compiler options:
For clang-cl.exe, the option is -EHa, the same as MSVC.
For clang.exe, the extra option is -fasync-exceptions,
plus -triple x86_64-windows -fexceptions and -fcxx-exceptions as usual.

NOTE:: Without the -EHa or -fasync-exceptions, this patch is a NO-DIFF change.

The rules for C code:
For C-code, one way (MSVC approach) to achieve SEH -EHa semantic is to follow
three rules:
* First, no exception can move in or out of _try region., i.e., no "potential
faulty instruction can be moved across _try boundary.
* Second, the order of exceptions for instructions 'directly' under a _try
must be preserved (not applied to those in callees).
* Finally, global states (local/global/heap variables) that can be read
outside of _try region must be updated in memory (not just in register)
before the subsequent exception occurs.

The impact to C++ code:
Although SEH is a feature for C code, -EHa does have a profound effect on C++
side. When a C++ function (in the same compilation unit with option -EHa ) is
called by a SEH C function, a hardware exception occurs in C++ code can also
be handled properly by an upstream SEH _try-handler or a C++ catch(...).
As such, when that happens in the middle of an object's life scope, the dtor
must be invoked the same way as C++ Synchronous Exception during unwinding
process.

Design:
A natural way to achieve the rules above in LLVM today is to allow an EH edge
added on memory/computation instruction (previous iload/istore idea) so that
exception path is modeled in Flow graph preciously. However, tracking every
single memory instruction and potential faulty instruction can create many
Invokes, complicate flow graph and possibly result in negative performance
impact for downstream optimization and code generation. Making all
optimizations be aware of the new semantic is also substantial.

This design does not intend to model exception path at instruction level.
Instead, the proposed design tracks and reports EH state at BLOCK-level to
reduce the complexity of flow graph and minimize the performance-impact on CPP
code under -EHa option.

One key element of this design is the ability to compute State number at
block-level. Our algorithm is based on the following rationales:

A _try scope is always a SEME (Single Entry Multiple Exits) region as jumping
into a _try is not allowed. The single entry must start with a seh_try_begin()
invoke with a correct State number that is the initial state of the SEME.
Through control-flow, state number is propagated into all blocks. Side exits
marked by seh_try_end() will unwind to parent state based on existing
SEHUnwindMap[].
Note side exits can ONLY jump into parent scopes (lower state number).
Thus, when a block succeeds various states from its predecessors, the lowest
State triumphs others. If some exits flow to unreachable, propagation on those
paths terminate, not affecting remaining blocks.
For CPP code, object lifetime region is usually a SEME as SEH _try.
However there is one rare exception: jumping into a lifetime that has Dtor but
has no Ctor is warned, but allowed:

Warning: jump bypasses variable with a non-trivial destructor

In that case, the region is actually a MEME (multiple entry multiple exits).
Our solution is to inject a eha_scope_begin() invoke in the side entry block to
ensure a correct State.

Implementation:
Part-1: Clang implementation described below.

Two intrinsic are created to track CPP object scopes; eha_scope_begin() and eha_scope_end().
_scope_begin() is immediately added after ctor() is called and EHStack is pushed.
So it must be an invoke, not a call. With that it's also guaranteed an
EH-cleanup-pad is created regardless whether there exists a call in this scope.
_scope_end is added before dtor(). These two intrinsics make the computation of
Block-State possible in downstream code gen pass, even in the presence of
ctor/dtor inlining.

Two intrinsic, seh_try_begin() and seh_try_end(), are added for C-code to mark
_try boundary and to prevent from exceptions being moved across _try boundary.
All memory instructions inside a _try are considered as 'volatile' to assure
2nd and 3rd rules for C-code above. This is a little sub-optimized. But it's
acceptable as the amount of code directly under _try is very small.

Part-2 (will be in Part-2 patch): LLVM implementation described below.

For both C++ & C-code, the state of each block is computed at the same place in
BE (WinEHPreparing pass) where all other EH tables/maps are calculated.
In addition to _scope_begin & _scope_end, the computation of block state also
rely on the existing State tracking code (UnwindMap and InvokeStateMap).

For both C++ & C-code, the state of each block with potential trap instruction
is marked and reported in DAG Instruction Selection pass, the same place where
the state for -EHsc (synchronous exceptions) is done.
If the first instruction in a reported block scope can trap, a Nop is injected
before this instruction. This nop is needed to accommodate LLVM Windows EH
implementation, in which the address in IPToState table is offset by +1.
(note the purpose of that is to ensure the return address of a call is in the
same scope as the call address.

The handler for catch(...) for -EHa must handle HW exception. So it is
'adjective' flag is reset (it cannot be IsStdDotDot (0x40) that only catches
C++ exceptions).
Suppress push/popTerminate() scope (from noexcept/noTHrow) so that HW
exceptions can be passed through.

[Sema][AArch64] Support arm_sve_vector_bits attribute

This patch implements the semantics for the 'arm_sve_vector_bits' type
attribute, defined by the Arm C Language Extensions (ACLE) for SVE [1].
The purpose of this attribute is to define vector-length-specific (VLS)
versions of existing vector-length-agnostic (VLA) types.

The semantics were already implemented by D83551, although the
implementation approach has since changed to represent VLSTs as
VectorType in the AST and fixed-length vectors in the IR everywhere
except in function args/returns. This is described in the prototype
patch D85128 demonstrating the new approach.

The semantic changes added in D83551 are changed since the
AttributedType is replaced by VectorType in the AST. Minimal changes
were necessary in the previous patch as the canonical type for both VLA
and VLS was the same (i.e. sizeless), except in constructs such as
globals and structs where sizeless types are unsupported. This patch
reverts the changes that permitted VLS types that were represented as
sizeless types in such circumstances, and adds support for implicit
casting between VLA <-> VLS types as described in section 3.7.3.2 of the
ACLE.

Since the SVE builtin types for bool and uint8 are both represented as
BuiltinType::UChar in VLSTs, two new vector kinds are implemented to
distinguish predicate and data vectors.

[clang] Rework how and when APValues are dumped

Currently APValues are dumped as a single string. This becomes quickly
completely unreadable since APValue is a tree-like structure. Even a simple
example is not pretty:

struct S { int arr[4]; float f; };
constexpr S s = { .arr = {1,2}, .f = 3.1415f };
// Struct fields: Array: Int: 1, Int: 2, 2 x Int: 0, Float: 3.141500e+00

With this patch this becomes:

-Struct
|-field: Array size=4
| |-elements: Int 1, Int 2
| `-filler: 2 x Int 0
`-field: Float 3.141500e+00

Additionally APValues are currently only dumped as part of visiting a
ConstantExpr. This patch also dump the value of the initializer of constexpr
variable declarations:

constexpr int foo(int a, int b) { return a + b - 42; }
constexpr int a = 1, b = 2;
constexpr int c = foo(a, b) > 0 ? foo(a, b) : foo(b, a);
// VarDecl 0x62100008aec8 <col:3, col:57> col:17 c 'const int' constexpr cinit
// |-value: Int -39
// `-ConditionalOperator 0x62100008b4d0 <col:21, col:57> 'int'
// <snip>

Do the above by moving the dump functions to TextNodeDumper which already has
the machinery to display trees. The cases APValue::LValue, APValue::MemberPointer
and APValue::AddrLabelDiff are left as they were before (unimplemented).

We try to display multiple elements on the same line if they are considered to
be "simple". This is to avoid wasting large amounts of vertical space in an
example like:

constexpr int arr[8] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
// VarDecl 0x62100008bb78 <col:3, col:42> col:17 arr 'int const[8]' constexpr cinit
// |-value: Array size=8
// | |-elements: Int 0, Int 1, Int 2, Int 3
// | `-elements: Int 4, Int 5, Int 6, Int 7

b) In any case, I'd like to get this pure rename out of the way first,

[clang][NFC] Generate the {Type,ArrayType,UnaryExprOrType,Expression}Traits...

...enumerations from TokenKinds.def and use the new macros from TokenKinds.def

All the information needed to generate these enumerations is already present
in TokenKinds.def. The motivation here is to be able to dump the trait spelling
without hard-coding the list in yet another place.

Note that this change the order of the enumerators in the enumerations (except
that in the TypeTrait enumeration all unary type traits are before all binary
type traits, and all binary type traits are before all n-ary type traits).

Apart from the aforementioned ordering which is relied upon, after this patch
no code in clang or in the various clang tools depend on the specific ordering
of the enumerators.

No functional changes intended.

Implement __attribute__((objc_direct)), __attribute__((objc_direct_members))

__attribute__((objc_direct)) is an attribute on methods declaration, and

Implement __attribute__((objc_direct)), __attribute__((objc_direct_members))

__attribute__((objc_direct)) is an attribute on methods declaration, and
__attribute__((objc_direct_members)) on implementation, categories or
extensions.

A `direct` property specifier is added (@property(direct) type name)

These attributes / specifiers cause the method to have no associated
Objective-C metadata (for the property or the method itself), and the
calling convention to be a direct C function call.

The symbol for the method has enforced hidden visibility and such direct
calls are hence unreachable cross image. An explicit C function must be
made if so desired to wrap them.

The implicit `self` and `_cmd` arguments are preserved, however to
maintain compatibility with the usual `objc_msgSend` semantics,
3 fundamental precautions are taken:

1) for instance methods, `self` is nil-checked. On arm64 backends this
typically adds a single instruction (cbz x0, <closest-ret>) to the
codegen, for the vast majority of the cases when the return type is a
scalar.

2) for class methods, because the class may not be realized/initialized
yet, a call to `[self self]` is emitted. When the proper deployment
target is used, this is optimized to `objc_opt_self(self)`.

However, long term we might want to emit something better that the
optimizer can reason about. When inlining kicks in, these calls
aren't optimized away as the optimizer has no idea that a single call
is really necessary.

3) the calling convention for the `_cmd` argument is changed: the caller
leaves the second argument to the call undefined, and the selector is
loaded inside the body when it's referenced only.

As far as error reporting goes, the compiler refuses:
- making any overloads direct,
- making an overload of a direct method,
- implementations marked as direct when the declaration in the
interface isn't (the other way around is allowed, as the direct
attribute is inherited from the declaration),
- marking methods required for protocol conformance as direct,
- messaging an unqualified `id` with a direct method,
- forming any @selector() expression with only direct selectors.

As warnings:
- any inconsistency of direct-related calling convention when
@selector() or messaging is used,
- forming any @selector() expression with a possibly direct selector.

Lastly an `objc_direct_members` attribute is added that can decorate
`@implementation` blocks and causes methods only declared there (and in
no `@interface`) to be automatically direct. When decorating an
`@interface` then all methods and properties declared in this block are

Include the mangled name in -ast-dump=json

I am planning to use this feature to make update_cc_test_checks.py less fragile
by obtaining the mangled names directly from -ast-dump=json. Currently,
it uses c-index-test which ignores the -triple=, etc. arguments that are
in the RUN: line and therefore does not generate checks for some targets.

The AST dump tests were updated using the following command:
`python $LLVM_BINDIR/gen_ast_dump_json_test.py --update --source $LLVM_SRC/clang/test/AST/*-json.*`
