-- Module           : Lang.Crucible.LLVM.Globals
-- Description      : Operations for working with LLVM global variables
-- Copyright        : (c) Galois, Inc 2018

-- Stability        : provisional
--
-- This module provides support for dealing with LLVM global variables,
-- including initial allocation and populating variables with their
-- initial values.  A @GlobalInitializerMap@ is constructed during
-- module translation and can subsequently be used to populate
-- global variables.  This can either be done all at once using
-- @populateAllGlobals@; or it can be done in a more selective manner,
-- using one of the other \"populate\" operations.

-- GlobalInitializerMap

-- | A @GlobalInitializerMap@ records the initialized values of globals in an @L.Module@.
--
-- The @Left@ constructor is used to signal errors in translation,
-- which can happen when:
--  * The declaration is ill-typed
--  * The global isn't linked (@extern global@)
--
-- The @Nothing@ constructor is used to signal that the global isn't actually a
-- compile-time constant.
--
-- These failures are as granular as possible (attached to the values)
-- so that simulation still succeeds if the module has a bad global that the
-- verified function never touches.
--
-- To actually initialize globals, saw-script translates them into
-- instances of @MemModel.LLVMVal@.

Note [Undoing LLVM's relative table lookup conversion pass]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clang 14.0.0+ include a `rel-lookup-table-converter` optimization pass that is
enabled with -O1 or greater. This optimization usually applies to code that
looks like table lookups. For instance, this pass would take this C code:

  const char *F(int tag) {
    static const char *const table[] = {
      "A",
      "B",
    };

    return table[tag];
  }

And optimize it to LLVM bitcode that looks like this:

  @reltable.F = internal unnamed_addr constant [2 x i32] [i32 trunc (i64 sub (i64 ptrtoint ([2 x i8]* @.str to i64), i64 ptrtoint ([2 x i32]* @reltable.F to i64)) to i32), i32 trunc (i64 sub (i64 ptrtoint ([2 x i8]* @.str.1 to i64), i64 ptrtoint ([2 x i32]* @reltable.F to i64)) to i32)], align 4
  @.str = private unnamed_addr constant [2 x i8] c"A\00", align 1
  @.str.1 = private unnamed_addr constant [2 x i8] c"B\00", align 1

  define dso_local i8* @F(i32 noundef %0) local_unnamed_addr #0 {
    %2 = sext i32 %0 to i64
    %3 = shl i64 %2, 2
    %4 = call i8* @llvm.load.relative.i64(i8* bitcast ([2 x i32]* @reltable.F to i8*), i64 %3)
    ret i8* %4
  }

There are several remarkable things about this LLVM bitcode:

* The definition of @F is backed up a relative lookup table @reltable.F.
  Invoking @F is tantamount to looking up a value in the table by using the
  special @llvm.load.relative.i* intrinsic, which is described here:
  https://releases.llvm.org/17.0.1/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-load-relative-intrinsic

* The definition of @reltable.F itself is quite unorthodox. Conceptually, it is
  an array of strings (@.str and @.str1), but where each element of the array
  contains the relative offset of the string to the table itself. As a result,
  it is not an array of pointers, but rather an array of i32s!

* Each i32 in the array consists of the address of each string represented as an
  integer (obtained via ptrtoint) subtracted from the address of the table,
  followed by a trunc to ensure the result fits in an i32. (One weird result of
  this encoding is that @reltable.F is defined recursively in terms of itself.)

This optimization pass is handy for Clang's purposes, as it allows Clang to
produce more efficient assembly code. Unfortunately, this encoding is quite
problematic for crucible-llvm. The problem ultimately lies in the fact that we
are performing pointer arithmetic on pointers from completely different
allocation regions (e.g., subtracting @reltable.F from @.str), which
crucible-llvm has no ability to reason about. (This optimization is also
problematic for CHERI, which tracks pointer provenance in a similar way—see
https://github.com/CTSRD-CHERI/llvm-project/issues/572).

What's more, we don't have a reliable way of avoiding this optimization, as
Clang's optimization pass manager doesn't provide a way to disable individual
passes via command-line arguments. We could tell users to downgrade from -O1
from -O0, but this would be a pretty severe workaround.

Our solution is to manually "undo" the optimization ourselves. That is, we
replace the definition of @reltable.F with bitcode that looks like this:

  @reltable.F = internal unnamed_addr constant [2 x i8*] [i8* bitcast ([2 x i8]* @.str to i8*), i8* bitcast ([2 x i8]* @.str.1 to i8*)]

This avoids any problematic uses of pointer arithmetic altogether. Here is how
we do this:

1. When processing global definitions in an LLVM module, we identify the names
   of all globals that are passed as the first argument to
   @llvm.load.relative.i*. We'll refer to these as "reltable-like" globals.

   This check assumes that the globals are passed directly to
   @llvm.load.relative.i*, rather than going through any intermediate
   variables. This is likely a safe assumption to make, considering that
   Clang's -O1 settings will usually optimize away any such intermediate
   variables.

2. For each reltable-like global, we check that the global has a constant
   initializer of type [<N> x i32] where each element is of the form
   `trunc (ptrtoint x - ptrtoint p)`. This is somewhat fragile, but the
   documentation for llvm.load.relative.i* implies that LLVM itself checks
   for code that looks like this, so we follow suit.

3. For each element in the constant initializer array, we turn
   `trunc (ptrtoint x - ptrtoint p)` into `bitcast x to i8*`. Note that the
   this changes its type from `i32` to `i8*`.

4. When translating a global definition to Crucible, we check if the global
   is reltable-like. If so, we replace its constant initializer with the
   `bitcast`ed version. We must also make sure that the global is translated
   at type `[<N> x i8*]` rather than `[<N> x i32]`.

   Furthermore, we must also make sure not to use the original global's
   alignment, as the `bitcast`ed version will almost certainly have different
   alignment requirements. We rely on crucible-llvm's alignment inference to
   figure out what the new alignment should be.

5. In the override for llvm.load.relative.i*, we make sure to adjust the second
   argument (the pointer offset). This is because LLVM assumes that the offset
   is for something of type `[<N> x i32]`, so an offset value of 4 (four bytes)
   refers to the first element, an offset value of 8 refers to the second
   element, and so on. On the other hand, something of type `[<N> x i8*]` will
   likely require different offsets, since the size of a pointer may be greater
   than four bytes (e.g., it is eight bytes on 64-bit architectures).

   To account for this difference, we divide the offset value by 4 and then
   multiply it by the number of bytes in the size of a pointer.

It is worth emphasizing that this is a very ad hoc workaround. At the same time,
it is likely the best we can do without substantially changing how crucible-llvm
tracks pointer provenance.
