Hi Bruce, thank you for your answer. What I want to know is following: Imagine that I create threads in some way. I want threads to execute the same BC, while using the same memory space. I know that LLVM IR has a nice structure: Context - Module - Execution engine. Is there a way to run several instances of LLVM (using threads for example) with the same memory space? On Fri, May 30, 2014 at

This is a proposal for adding Stackmaps and Patchpoints to LLVM. The first client of these features is the JavaScript compiler within the open source WebKit project. A Stackmap is a record of variable locations (registers and stack offsets) at a particular instruction address. A Patchpoint is an instruction address at which space is reserved for patching a new instruction sequence at runtime.

Hello, I'm interested in development of multi threaded applications using LLVM. I would like to ask, is there a possibility in LLVM to create several threads, executing software concurrently, while sharing the same memory space? If yes, on which level this can be done (e.g. context, execution engine,...)? Best regards, Jasmin JAHIC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

I think what's happening is BranchFolder::MaintainLiveIns is using a forward analysis on top of these missing kill flags, and updating the BB-live-ins/live-outs with an incorrect set of registers. Then when the stackmaps liveness analysis happens, it's not doing anything wrong, but it starts with the wrong set of live registers and will propagate those to the point of the

Hi all, I've run into a couple bugs recently that affected stackmap liveness analysis in various ways: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=19224 - function arguments stay live unnecessarily http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21265 - eflags can end up as a live out http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21266 - %rip can end up as a live out The first two have nothing to do with stackmaps

Dear All My MSc was about implementing some kind of On stack replacement in LLVM to enhance security by obfuscating running code periodically. I've tried to implement this job in JIT, but I couldn't. So I implemented it in interpreter, as an initial step. However, now I'm trying to make it in JIT. My first step is to extract function state at an arbitrary point. So, I interrupt

Hi all, I don't know if I understand everything, but it seems really interesting for a runtime developer, stackmap and patchpoint looks perfect for a lot of optimizations :) I just have few question to verify if I understand what are these stackmaps and patchpoints, and I discuss the GC after. * I have a first very simple scenario (useful in vmkit). Let's imagine that we want to lazily

None of these are major enough to prevent submission. - As others have said, I'd prefer an experimental namespace

Adding Gael as someone who has previously discussed vmkit topics on the list. Since I'm assuming this is where the GC support came from, I wanted to draw this conversation to the attention of someone more familiar with the LLVM implementation than myself.

I'm moving this to a different thread. I think the newly proposed intrinsic definitions and their current implementation are valuable regardless of how it gets tied into GC...

Is there an explanation anywhere of what code that uses a stack map looks like? I'm interested in writing a garbage collector, but it's not clear to me how my code should make use of the stack map format to actually locate roots in memory. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi All, TLDR: Allow calling conventions to be defined on-the-fly for functions in LLVM-IR, comments are requested on the mechanism and syntax. Summary ======= This is a proposal for adding a mechanism by which LLVM can be used to generate code fragments adhering to an arbitrary calling convention. Intended use cases are: generating code intended to be called from the shadow of a stackmap or

Hi, I implemented a garbage collector for a language I wrote in college using the llvm gc statepoint infrastructure. Information for statepoints: https://llvm.org/docs/Statepoints.html Example usage of parsing the llvm stackmap can be found at: https://github.com/dotnet/llilc/blob/master/lib/GcInfo/GcInfo.cpp https://llvm.org/docs/StackMaps.html#stackmap-format

Dear All I need to read the stackmap section at runtime of the inspected application. I've read the documentation of stackmap and found this paragraph: "A JIT compiler can easily access this section by providing its own memory manager via the LLVM C API LLVMCreateSimpleMCJITMemoryManager(). When creating the memory manager, the JIT provides a callback:

Sounds good. I will add that to the StackMap documentation when I update it for v2. —Juergen > On Jul 10, 2015, at 9:40 AM, Hal Finkel <hfinkel at anl.gov> wrote: > > No, but I've noticed that it is true in practice, and so I think that we should say something about it one way or another.
