I think I share the goal with you to make the foundation for better dead-strip, so thank you for suggesting. I'm not sure if marking a section as a whole as "safe" or "unsafe" is the best approach, though. Some comments. - If the compiler generated code is always "safe", and if we can distinguish it from hand-written assembly code by checking if there's a

Hi, Currently lld ties up all atoms in a section for ELF together. This proposal just breaks it by handling it differently. *This requires **NO ELF ABI changes. *_*Definitions :-*_ A section is not considered safe if there is some code that appears to be present between function boundaries (or) optimizes sections to place data at the end or beginning of a section (that contains no symbol).

Hi all, I need to add thread-switching support to Unladen Swallow's JIT, and LLVM's safe point support looks like a good way to get code into all the right places. However, http://llvm.org/docs/GarbageCollection.html#collector-algos points out that there's no way to emit code at safe points yet, and there are no loop safe points at all. So I'll be trying to implement them. Is

Is there any reason -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections wouldn't work? If it'll work, it may be be better to say "if you want to get a better linker output use these options", rather than defining new ELF section.

Has anyone developed a version of do.call that is safe in the sense that it silently drops parameters that do not appear in the formals of the called function? This is useful when ... ends up being used in multiple further functions. e.g. f <- function(a, b) {a + b} do.call(f, list(a=1, b=2, c=3)) # Errors safe.call(f, list(a=1, b=2, c=3)) # Returns 3 If have quickly thrown together the

Not all users compile their code with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections. This is to handle usecases when libraries use a mix of object files too.

Can anyone comment on the following results from running a test program we've writen for PostgreSQL? Should the following be thread-safe, either as themselves, or a different function we should be calling? Your gethostbyname() is _not_ thread-safe Your getpwuid() is _not_ thread-safe

Talin, do you identify safe-points in the current or proposed llvm scheme, and if so how, or are they implicit as being at all call sites (which begs the question what about leaves in the call tree, how does GC get started at all in that case). Peter Lawrence.

I have a failing test and bugpoint would be the perfect tool to help narrow it down. llc is the failing tool. It fails with one set of options and passes with another. I was hoping to use bugpoint like this: bugpoint -safe-llc -run-llc <testcase> -tool-args <failing args> -safe-tool-args <passing args> Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be possible. According to the

Hi, I previously posted about using 32-bit X86 segmentation to harden SafeStack: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-May/100346.html That involves lowering the limits of the DS and ES segments that are used for ordinary data accesses while leaving the limit for SS, the stack segment, set to its maximum value. The safe stacks were clustered above the limits of DS and ES. Thus, by

Talin, how about having the front-end generate an llvm.safe.point () intrinsic call at the desired safe points, and having the addresses of the GC roots (at that point, can vary from call to call) be the parameters (with noescape attribute) to the intrinsic, IIUC currently the GC roots are tagged, and all analysis and transform optimizations have to special case these tagged

Hello, For the Glasgow Haskell Compiler's backend, we would like to let LLVM know that certain loads are safe to execute speculatively and hence to hoist out of loops. At the moment, there doesn't seem to be a mechanism for doing so. There seem to be two ways of implementing this: either allow arbitrary instructions to be marked as safe and have Instruction::isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute
