While a hazard for SIMD stabilization this commit is otherwise keeping the status quo of a small rustc-specific feature. * rust-lang/llvm@013f2ec - this is a rustc-specific optimization that we haven't upstreamed, notably teaching LLVM about our allocation-related routines (which aren't malloc/free). Once we stabilize the global allocator routines we will likely want to upstream this patch, but for now it seems reasonable to keep it on our fork. * rust-lang/llvm@a65bbfd - I found this necessary to fix compilation of LLVM in our 32-bit linux container. I'm not really sure why it's necessary but my guess is that it's because of the absolutely ancient glibc that we're using. In any case it's only updating pieces we're not actually using in LLVM so I'm hoping it'll turn out alright. This doesn't seem like something we'll want to upstream.c * rust-lang/llvm@77ab1f0 - this is what's actually enabling LLVM to build in our i686-freebsd container, I'm not really sure what's going on but we for sure probably don't want to upstream this and otherwise it seems not too bad for now at least. * rust-lang/llvm@9eb9267 - we currently suffer on MSVC from an [upstream bug] which although diagnosed to a particular revision isn't currently fixed upstream (and the bug itself doesn't seem too active). This commit is a partial revert of the suspected cause of this regression (found via a bisection). I'm sort of hoping that this eventually gets fixed upstream with a similar fix (which we can replace in our branch), but for now I'm also hoping it's a relatively harmless change to have. After applying these patches (plus one [backport] which should be [backported upstream][llvm-back]) I believe we should have all tests working on all platforms in our current test suite. I'm like 99% sure that we'll need some more backports as issues are reported for LLVM 6 when this propagates through nightlies, but that's sort of just par for the course nowadays! In any case though some extra scrutiny of the patches here would definitely be welcome, along with scrutiny of the "missing patches" like a [change to pass manager order](rust-lang/llvm@27174447533), [another change to pass manager order](rust-lang/llvm@c782febb7b9), some [compile fixes for sparc](rust-lang/llvm@1a83de63c42), and some [fixes for solaris](rust-lang/llvm@c2bfe0abb). [patches4]: rust-lang/llvm@5401fdf...rust-llvm-release-4-0-1 [backport]: rust-lang/llvm@5c54c252db [llvm-back]: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36114 [upstream bug]: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36096 --- The update to LLVM 6 is desirable for a number of reasons, notably: * This'll allow us to keep up with the upstream wasm backend, picking up new features as they start landing. * Upstream LLVM has fixed a number of SIMD-related compilation errors, especially around AVX-512 and such. * There's a few assorted known bugs which are fixed in LLVM 5 and aren't fixed in the LLVM 4 branch we're using. * Overall it's not a great idea to stagnate with our codegen backend! This update is mostly powered by rust-lang#47730 which is allowing us to update LLVM *independent* of the version of LLVM that Emscripten is locked to. This means that when compiling code for Emscripten we'll still be using the old LLVM 4 backend, but when compiling code for any other target we'll be using the new LLVM 6 target. Once Emscripten updates we may no longer need this distinction, but we're not sure when that will happen!
