[SanitizerBounds] Add support for NoSanitizeBounds function

Currently adding attribute no_sanitize("bounds") isn't disabling
-fsanitize=local-bounds (also enabled in -fsanitize=bounds). The Clang
frontend handles fsanitize=array-bounds which can already be disabled by
no_sanitize("bounds"). However, instrumentation added by the
BoundsChecking pass in the middle-end cannot be disabled by the
attribute.

The fix is very similar to D102772 that added the ability to selectively
disable sanitizer pass on certain functions.

In this patch, if no_sanitize("bounds") is provided, an additional
function attribute (NoSanitizeBounds) is attached to IR to let the
BoundsChecking pass know we want to disable local-bounds checking. In
order to support this feature, the IR is extended (similar to D102772)
to make Clang able to preserve the information and let BoundsChecking
pass know bounds checking is disabled for certain function.

The purpose of __attribute__((disable_sanitizer_instrumentation)) is to

The no_sanitize(...) attribute drops instrumentation checks, but may
still insert code preventing false positive reports. In some cases
though (e.g. when building Linux kernel with -fsanitize=kernel-memory
or -fsanitize=thread) the users may want to avoid any kind of

In the textual format, `noduplicates` means no COMDAT/section group

they happen to define strong external symbols with the same names,
there will be a duplicate definition linker error.

In PE/COFF, the selection kind lowers to `IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_NODUPLICATES`.
The name describes the corollary instead of the immediate semantics. The name
can cause confusion to other binary formats (ELF, wasm) which have implemented/

[SanitizeCoverage] Add support for NoSanitizeCoverage function attribute

We really ought to support no_sanitize("coverage") in line with other
sanitizers. This came up again in discussions on the Linux-kernel
mailing lists, because we currently do workarounds using objtool to
remove coverage instrumentation. Since that support is only on x86, to
continue support coverage instrumentation on other architectures, we
must support selectively disabling coverage instrumentation via function
attributes.

Unfortunately, for SanitizeCoverage, it has not been implemented as a
sanitizer via fsanitize= and associated options in Sanitizers.def, but
rolls its own option fsanitize-coverage. This meant that we never got
"automatic" no_sanitize attribute support.

Implement no_sanitize attribute support by special-casing the string
"coverage" in the NoSanitizeAttr implementation. To keep the feature as
unintrusive to existing IR generation as possible, define a new negative
function attribute NoSanitizeCoverage to propagate the information
through to the instrumentation pass.

Swift's new concurrency features are going to require guaranteed tail calls so
that they don't consume excessive amounts of stack space. This would normally
mean "tailcc", but there are also Swift-specific ABI desires that don't
naturally go along with "tailcc" so this adds another calling convention that's
the combination of "swiftcc" and "tailcc".

Support is added for AArch64 and X86 for now.

[IR] add fn attr for no_stack_protector; prevent inlining on mismatch

It's currently ambiguous in IR whether the source language explicitly
did not want a stack a stack protector (in C, via function attribute
no_stack_protector) or doesn't care for any given function.

It's common for code that manipulates the stack via inline assembly or
that has to set up its own stack canary (such as the Linux kernel) would
like to avoid stack protectors in certain functions. In this case, we've
been bitten by numerous bugs where a callee with a stack protector is
inlined into an __attribute__((__no_stack_protector__)) caller, which
generally breaks the caller's assumptions about not having a stack
protector. LTO exacerbates the issue.

While developers can avoid this by putting all no_stack_protector
functions in one translation unit together and compiling those with
-fno-stack-protector, it's generally not very ergonomic or as
ergonomic as a function attribute, and still doesn't work for LTO. See also:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/[email protected]/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/T/#u

Typically, when inlining a callee into a caller, the caller will be
upgraded in its level of stack protection (see adjustCallerSSPLevel()).
By adding an explicit attribute in the IR when the function attribute is
used in the source language, we can now identify such cases and prevent
inlining. Block inlining when the callee and caller differ in the case that one
contains `nossp` when the other has `ssp`, `sspstrong`, or `sspreq`.

Fixes pr/47479.

[LangRef] Introduce `noundef` attribute for fully defined function params

LLVM currently does not require function parameters or return values
to be fully initialized, and does not care if they are poison. This can
be useful if the frontend ABI makes no such demands, but may prevent
helpful backend transformations in case they do. Specifically, the C
and C++ languages require all scalar function operands to be fully
determined.

Introducing this attribute is of particular use to MemorySanitizer
today, although other transformations may benefit from it as well.
We can modify MemorySanitizer instrumentation to provide modest (17%)
space savings where `frozen` is present.

This commit only adds the attribute to the Language Reference, and
the actual implementation of the attribute will follow in a separate
commit.

This is part of a patch series upstreaming Armv8.6 features. Subsequent patches
will upstream intrinsics support and C-lang support for BFloat.

ARM MTE stack sanitizer.

Add "memtag" sanitizer that detects and mitigates stack memory issues
using armv8.5 Memory Tagging Extension.

It is similar in principle to HWASan, which is a software implementation
of the same idea, but there are enough differencies to warrant a new
sanitizer type IMHO. It is also expected to have very different
performance properties.

The new sanitizer does not have a runtime library (it may grow one
later, along with a "debugging" mode). Similar to SafeStack and
StackProtector, the instrumentation pass (in a follow up change) will be
inserted in all cases, but will only affect functions marked with the
new sanitize_memtag attribute.

[X86] Added support for nocf_check attribute for indirect Branch Tracking

X86 Supports Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT) as part of Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
IBT instruments ENDBR instructions used to specify valid targets of indirect call / jmp.
The `nocf_check` attribute has two roles in the context of X86 IBT technology:
1. Appertains to a function - do not add ENDBR instruction at the beginning of the function.
2. Appertains to a function pointer - do not track the target function of this pointer by adding nocf_check prefix to the indirect-call instruction.

This patch implements `nocf_check` context for Indirect Branch Tracking.
It also auto generates `nocf_check` prefixes before indirect branchs to jump tables that are guarded by range checks.
