llvm dev - Sep 2017 - invalid code generated on Windows x86_64 using skylake-specific features

I have this code, which works fine on MacOS and Linux hosts:

    const char *target_specific_cpu_args;
    const char *target_specific_features;
    if (g->is_native_target) {
        target_specific_cpu_args = ZigLLVMGetHostCPUName();
        target_specific_features = ZigLLVMGetNativeFeatures();
    } else {
        target_specific_cpu_args = "";
        target_specific_features = "";
    }

    g->target_machine = LLVMCreateTargetMachine(target_ref,
buf_ptr(&g->triple_str),
            target_specific_cpu_args, target_specific_features, opt_level,
reloc_mode, LLVMCodeModelDefault);



char *ZigLLVMGetHostCPUName(void) {
    std::string str = sys::getHostCPUName();
    return strdup(str.c_str());
}

char *ZigLLVMGetNativeFeatures(void) {
    SubtargetFeatures features;

    StringMap<bool> host_features;
    if (sys::getHostCPUFeatures(host_features)) {
        for (auto &F : host_features)
            features.AddFeature(F.first(), F.second);
    }

    return strdup(features.getString().c_str());
}

On this windows laptop that I am testing on, I get these values:

target_specific_cpu_args: skylake

target_specific_features:
+sse2,+cx16,-tbm,-avx512ifma,-avx512dq,-fma4,+prfchw,+bmi2,+xsavec,+fsgsbase,+popcnt,+aes,+xsaves,-avx512er,-avx512vpopcntdq,-clwb,-avx512f,-clzero,-pku,+mmx,-lwp,-xop,+rdseed,-sse4a,-avx512bw,+clflushopt,+xsave,-avx512vl,-avx512cd,+avx,-rtm,+fma,+bmi,+rdrnd,-mwaitx,+sse4.1,+sse4.2,+avx2,+sse,+lzcnt,+pclmul,-prefetchwt1,+f16c,+ssse3,+sgx,+cmov,-avx512vbmi,+movbe,+xsaveopt,-sha,+adx,-avx512pf,+sse3


It successfully creates a binary, but the binary when run crashes with:

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FF7C9913BA7 in test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access
violation reading location 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

The disassembly of the crashed instruction is:

00007FF7C9913BA7  vmovdqa     xmmword ptr [rbp-20h],xmm0

There is no callstack or source in the MSVC debugger. The .pdb produced is
64KB exactly. The file was linked with:

lld -NOLOGO -DEBUG -MACHINE:X64 /SUBSYSTEM:console -OUT:.\test.exe
-NODEFAULTLIB -ENTRY:_start ./zig-cache/test.obj ./zig-cache/builtin.obj
./zig-cache/compiler_rt.obj ./zig-cache/kernel32.lib


When I change the call to LLVMCreateTargetMachine so that both
target_specific_cpu_args  and target_specific_features  are the empty
string, the produced binary is valid and runs successfully.

Is this an LLVM bug? Am I using the API incorrectly? Is there more
information I can provide to LLVM-dev mailing list that would make it
easier to help me?

I suspect that there are 2 issues here:

 * I have incorrect alignment somewhere
 * MSVC / .pdb / CodeView debugging is not working correctly.

I think the latter would help solve the former.

I will send out a new email later talking about the issues I'm having
debugging llvm-generated binaries with MSVC.

Can you post test.obj somewhere, and maybe the LLVM IR if you can get it?
If it really was reading address 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, then RBP must have
been completely corrupted, probably by the prologue.
