The compiler can issue a warning at compile time, but only in case it can statically detect some kind of wrongdoing. Program. K. Memarian, J. Matthiesen, J. Lingard, K. Nienhuis, D. Chisnall, R. N. M. Watson, and P. Sewell. To get undef-like semantics we introduce a new freeze instruction to LLVM. G. Gange, J. | June 2017. The IR should make it easy to perform transformations, and should also afford efficient and precise static analysis. So one solution would be to define the IR 32-bit shift operation to mean x<31 may result in either 0 or in x<<(n&31) (i.e., what the various architectures do, and what leads to the intended behaviour), but not undefined behaviour; that operation would be appropriate for a C 32-bit << operation. Syst., 13(4):451490, Oct. 1991. This is commonly exposed by register allocation changes. Hi Anton, responding to your points in order Im an author of this paper, but not the main one. The front-ends correctly refine C, C++, etc. And I certainly dont want to have x+1>x optimized to true in C. I want to use it to test if x!=MAXLONG in shorter code than what gcc and clang generate when I write x!=MAXLONG. bool isKnownToCauseUB const Return true if "undefined behavior" is known. The current semantics of LLVMs IR fails to justify some cases of loop unswitching, global value numbering, and other important textbook optimizations, causing long-standing bugs. Taming undefined behavior in LLVM Pages 633-647 ABSTRACT References Index Terms ABSTRACT A central concern for an optimizing compiler is the design of its intermediate representation (IR) for code. M. A. Ertl. Computer Science Theory and Application. Returning to the x + 1 > x example above, making add nsw INT_MAX, 1 evaluate to poison allows the desired optimization: the resulting poison value makes the icmp also return poison. In PLDI, 1990. the refinement check proves that (1) the transformed program only triggers ub when the original program does (i.e., ub can only be removed), (2) the root variable of the transformed program is only poison when it is also poison in the original program, and (3) variables' values in the final states of the two programs are the same when no ub is F. Peschanski. In SOSP, 2013. What is Undefined Behavior ? DeepCode, Switzerland / ETH Zurich, Switzerland, https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3062341.3062343. In this paper we study an aspect of IR design that has received little attention: the role of undefined behavior. I wonder what the cutting-edge is on opposite end for type-safe languages and type-directed optimizations. Freezing a normal value is a nop and freezing a poison value evaluates to an arbitrary value of the type. X. Leroy. K. J. Ottenstein, R. A. Ballance, and A. The input is not INT_MAX, in which case the addition returns input + 1. the ir for every optimizing compiler we have looked at, including gcc, llvm, intel's, and microsoft's, supports one or more forms of undefined behavior (ub), not only to reflect the semantics of ub-heavy programming languages such as c and c++, but also to model inherently unsafe low-level operations such as memory stores and to avoid Theory and Practice of Logic Programming, 15(4-5):526542, July 2015. This paper augments an LLVM optimizer to generate translation results together with their correctness proofs, which can then be checked by a proof checker formally verified in Coq, which creates a verified credible compilation framework for LLVM.

Our translation validation project is codenamed utcTV (short for translation validation for UTC - Microsoft's C++ compiler). The static single information form. Formal verification of a realistic compiler. The IR shouldmake it easy to perform transformations, and should also afford efficient and precise static analysis. Recall that undef resolves as an arbitrary value of its type. This paper presents initial steps in ensuring that V2V communications are implemented securely. Provably correct peephole optimizations with Alive. More. Hi Eelis, if you only have immediate UB, speculation becomes impossible. Crellvm is presented: a verified credible compilation framework for LLVM, which can be used as a systematic way of providing a high level of reliability for major optimizations in LLVM. Ok that makes sense. In this paper we study an aspect of IR design that has received little attention: the role of undefined behavior. A sequential model is introduced and it is formally shown that sequential reasoning is adequate and sufficient for establishing soundness of various compiler optimizations under weakly consistent shared-memory concurrency. If the upstream maintainers change member definitions from unsigned to signed, the program code is now silently asking for an unsound transformation that something like Coverity will flag, but the compiler does not. * Example: In C, integer division by zero yields undefined behaviour. Technical Report 35, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, 2011. UB in LLVM IR Problem of . During code generation, undef usually gets turned into whatever was already in the register.. When LLVM optimizes IR generated from Swift code, optimizations like this (perhaps not this exact one) are still useful and they cannot be observed from the level of the programming language.

The correctness-security gap in compiler optimization. The IR should make it easy to perform . This work developed a novel memory model for LLVM IR and formalized it, which requires a handful of problematic IR-level optimizations to be removed, but it also supports the addition of new optimizations that were not previously legal. Most compilers rely on undefined behavior for aggressive optimizations. virtual bool isAssumedToCauseUB (Instruction *I) const =0 Return true if "undefined behavior" is assumed for a specific instruction. Alive is a domain-specific language for writing optimizations and for automatically either proving them correct or else generating counterexamples, which can be automatically translated into C++ code that is suitable for inclusion in an LLVM optimization pass. LLVM IR contains this same kind of UB, which well call immediate UB. It is triggered by bad operations such as an out-of-bounds store (which is likely to corrupt RAM) or a division by zero (which may cause the processor to trap). Yeah, it is hacky, and it makes compiler optimizations quite a bit harder to reason about, but as you say once you go the route of heavily optimizing ahead of time compiler I dont know that there are good alternatives. The details differ from those described here, but the effect is the same: deferred UB gives the compiler freedom to perform useful transformations that would otherwise be illegal. The backends correctly refine IR into machine code. 1. GCC recently (version 4.9) gained Undefined Behavior . A formal C memory model supporting integer-pointer casts. Taming Undefined Behavior in LLVM Nuno P. Lopes PLDI 2017 Barcelona Seoul National Univ. Formalizing the concurrency semantics of an LLVM fragment. If the optimizer can prove that a particular shift doesnt do the wrong thing, the checking code goes away and were left with a naked shift instruction in the IR. Often this is not the case and the checking has to take place at run time. Undef is useful because sometimes we want to say that a value doesnt matter, for example because we know a location is going to be over-written later. Taming Undefined Behavior in LLVM Abstract: A central concern for an optimizing compiler is the design of its intermediate representation (IR) for code. Program. The engineering tradeoffs being made inside the compiler enable some extra optimization power and have a cost in terms of complexity (UB is hard to think about) but this doesnt necessarily have anything to do with UB in C, C++, or in any source language. 2011. The IR should make it easy to perform transformations, and should also afford efficient. Copyright 2022 ACM, Inc. C. S. Ananian. Taming Undened Behavior in LLVM. 2014.

Jordan, S. Pellegrini, P. Thoman, K. Kofler, and T. Fahringer. Translation validation is a powerful ally for verification: first we can support older code that may be out of reach for current automated verification techniques, and second, it provides an extra safety net. Our problems start because LLVM also contains two kinds of deferred UB which dont explode, but rather have a contained effect on the program. Lang. Revised 6 report on the algorithmic language Scheme, Sept. 2007. The key is to put freezes in the right places. Theres no problem as long as the poisonous results dont propagate somewhere that matters. By running Alive2 over LLVMs unit test suite, this work discovered and reported 47 new bugs, 28 of which have been fixed already and led to eight patches to the LLVM Language Reference. The point is that so far these bugs have resisted fixing: nobody has come up with a way to make everything consistent without giving up optimizations that the LLVM community is unwilling to give up. N. P. Lopes, D. Menendez, S. Nagarakatte, and J. Regehr. If the input is not INT_MAX, the addition returns input + 1. Or are you saying that it was a bad example? In this paper we study an aspect of IR design that has received little attention: the role of undefined behavior. Since the optimizer may assume that the program wont incur UB, it can assume that case 2 does not happen, and so only case 1 has to be considered, where x+1>x indeed holds. GCC, Clang/LLVM, and Orwell Dev-C++ are probably your best bets out of the 8 options considered. Perhaps it was a mistake for me, in this post, to connect this LLVM example to a fragment of C code. M. Sperber, R. K. Dybvig, M. Flatt, A. van Straaten, R. Kelsey, W. Clinger, J. Rees, R. B. Findler, and J. Matthews. One secret weapon we have is Alive where Nuno has implemented the new semantics in the newsema branch and we can use this to test a large number of optimizations. What the UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer does is to generate calls to llvm.sadd.with.overflow. 2.

Bitwise shifts that are out of bounds for their data type In SPW, 2015. V. DSilva, M. Payer, and D. Song. What it looks like on the outside is that considerable ingenuity and effort are being expended to defend an optimization that is of limited utility. But the compiler does not actually guarantee that x+1 is greater than x and the C standard doesn't guarantee it either. S. Chakraborty and V. Vafeiadis. USA, PLDI '23: ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation, All Holdings within the ACM Digital Library. Earlier I wrote that Undefined Behavior != Unsafe Programming, a piece intended to convince you that theres nothing inherently wrong with undefined behavior as long as it isnt in developer-facing parts of the system. X. Wang, N. Zeldovich, M. F. Kaashoek, and A. Solar-Lezama. Every use of a given freeze instruction will produce the same value, but different freezes may give different values. Modeling Undefined Behaviour Semantics for Checking Equivalence, Tell Programmers About Signed Integer Overflow Behavior, Programming in C and C++ Lecture 5: Tooling. Very few of these bugs can result in end-to-end miscompilation (where a well-formed source-level program is compiled to machine code that does the wrong thing) but even this can happen. Taming Undefined Behavior in LLVM. Formalizing the LLVM intermediate representation for verified program transformations. PLDI '17, Barcelona, Spain Lets try to do that using undef. Enter ubsan. Today I want to talk about a new paper about undefined behavior in LLVM thats going to be presented in June at PLDI 2017. Understanding integer overflow in C/C++. And if Swift is defined to trap on integer overflow, then optimizing x+1>x to true is miscompilation, not optimization, because it will not behave correctly when x=maxint. In KPS, 2015. The program literally has no specified meaning. Victor, I dont know of a design document that covers this stuff, it sort of evolved over a period of time. Like nan in floating point. So UB in IR could be thought of as a code word for we dont care about this situation which has been proved to not occur.. We mean "secure" in the sense of having no flaws that could be a vulnerability; confidentiality and authentication are provided in other software layers and are not in scope here. Ah, I guess it makes sense as an example illustrating the unfortunate consequences of using deferred UB analysis, rather than an example motivating the use of deferred UB analysis. If poison propagates to a programs output, the result is immediate UB. FL , In this article I will avoid explaining undefined behavior and I'll give . Is there any design document or paper you can recommend on this topic? I've set up a fresh project to try to isolate this problem. Taming Undefined Behavior in LLVM (regehr.org) . Facts About UB in LLVM It exists to support generaon of good code It is independent of undened behavior in source or target languages - You can compile an UB-free language to LLVM It comes in several avors Reasoning about opLmizaons in the presence of UB is very dicult ACM Trans. ACM Trans. into IR. You can view the source on github and inspect the compiler output on Travis-CI. it hasn't really lived up to promise of being a portable abstraction for compute kernels Since there are no released implementations, you can't really say anything about portability. Finally, we noticed that there has been an interesting bit of convergent evolution in compiler IRs: basically all heavily optimizing AOT compilers (including GCC, MSVC, and Intel CC) have their own versions of deferred UB. For example, consider this LLVM function: This is equivalent to return x+1 > x; in C and wed like to be able to optimize it to return true;. The IR should priate number of values to such a continuation is unde- make it easy to perform . Efficiently computing static single assignment form and the control dependence graph. However, if this naked shift has no UB then it must commit to some particular semantics for the shift-past-bitwidth case. The spec no longer applies in this case and therefore provides no guidance on the behaviour of the program, either before or after the occurrence of the triggering behaviour. More. Hard to imagine how greater(x+1,x) and less(x,MAX_INT) both can be true theorems. Semantic Scholar is a free, AI-powered research tool for scientific literature, based at the Allen Institute for AI. In PLDI, 2016. The first kind of deferred UB in LLVM is the undef value that acts like an uninitialized register: an undef evaluates to an arbitrary value of its type. A central concern for an optimizing compiler is the design of its intermediate representation (IR) for code. How does that affect the case in question? Undefined behavior is notorious for code-breaking optimizations. Defining the undefinedness of C. In PLDI, 2015. Parallel computing with the pi-calculus. Peek is presented, a framework for expressing, verifying, and running meaning-preserving assembly-level program trans- formations in CompCert, and a set of local properties are proved are sufficient to ensure global transformation correctness. G. Barthe, D. Demange, and D. Pichardie. In PACT, 2013. FLINT for SML is the first one I saw like that: Another way to say the same thing is that were always allowed to make code more defined than it was, though of course were never allowed to make it less defined. Passing --coverage to gcc while also linking LLVM causes an undefined reference to `__gcov_exit' error from the linker. A. Navas, P. Schachte, H. Sndergaard, and P. J. Stuckey. This behavior enables certain classes of optimizations that are important for some code. To justify the desired optimization we can observe that returning 1 is a refinement of returning poison. This work isnt about debating the merits of undefined behavior, its goal is to describe and try to fix some unintended consequences of the design of undefined behavior at the level of LLVM IR. Syst., 36(1):4:14:35, Mar. Taming Undefined Behavior in LLVM - Embedded in Academia Taming Undefined Behavior in LLVM Earlier I wrote that Undefined Behavior != Unsafe Programming, a piece intended to convince you that there's nothing inherently wrong with undefined behavior as long as it isn't in developer-facing parts of the system. Atmel Inc. AVR32 architecture document, Apr. In ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Intermediate Representations, 1995. The choice made by the LLVM developers, however, was to introduce a second, stronger, form of deferred UB called poison. But the details are all there in Section 3 of the paper. B. MacCabe. The most important optimizations enabled by deferred undefined behavior are those involving speculative execution such as hoisting loop-invariant code out of a loop.

Lopes Pre-print Media Attached Verifying invariants of lock-free data structures with rely-guarantee and refinement type Colin Gordon, Michael D. Ernst, Dan Grossman, Matthew Parkinson More practically, consider when we have code including, say, a data structure from an OS or library definition. We spent a lot of time trying to explain this clearly in the paper and Im unlikely to do better here! Eelis, what I was going for is a two-part argument to explain why poison has to exist: The IR for every optimizing compiler we have looked at, including GCC, LLVM, Intel's, and Microsoft's, supports one or more forms of undefined behavior (UB), not only to reflect the semantics of UB-heavy programming languages such as C and C++, but also to model inherently unsafe low-level operations such as memory stores and to avoid over-constraining IR semantics to the point that desirable transformations become illegal. In this paper we study an aspect of IR design that has received little attention: the role of undefined behavior. In this paper we study an aspect of IR design that has received little attention: the role of undefined behavior. UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (UBSan) is a fast undefined behavior detector. In order to support LLVM's semantics for racy accesses, the formal model does not work on the level of single executions as the hardware and the C/C++ models do, but rather uses more elaborate structures called event structures. 1.5m members in the compsci community. The compiler is allowed to choose this value. Simuliris is the first simulation technique to establish termination preservation for a range of concurrent program transformations that exploit UB in the source language, and is based on the idea of using ownership to reason modularly about the assumptions the compiler makes about programs with well-defined behavior. The IR should make it easy to perform transformations, and should also afford efficient and precise static analysis. This work developed a novel memory model for LLVM IR and formalized it, and implemented the new model and shown that it fixes all known memory-model-related miscompilations without impacting the quality of generated code. This alert has been successfully added and will be sent to: You will be notified whenever a record that you have chosen has been cited. LLVM works around this problem by adding the concept of deferred undened behavior: the undened addition is allowed, but the resulting value cannot be . In addition, if needed the IR could define a shift that produces 0 for the case above, and a shift that produces x<<(n&31), and one that traps. LLVM parallel intermediate representation: design and evaluation using OpenSHMEM communications. INSPIRE: The Insieme parallel intermediate representation. Taming Undefined Behavior in LLVM. Ok, good point. There is no undefined overflow. We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. Commun. In fact the C standard, by defining a maximum value for a signed int clearly implies otherwise. This paper explores how fork-join parallelism, as supported by concurrency platforms such as Cilk and OpenMP, can be embedded into a compiler's intermediate representation (IR) with only minor changes to its existing analyses and code transformations. Abstract At the programming language level, Scheme R6RS [21, A central concern for an optimizing compiler is the design of p. 54] mentions that "The effect of passing an inappro- its intermediate representation (IR) for code. Signed integer overflow: If arithmetic on an 'int' type (for example) overflows, the result is undefined. This paper introduces the correctness-security gap, which arises when a compiler optimization preserves the functionality of but violates a security guarantee made by source code, and shows that several standard optimizations, which have been formally proved correct, in-habit this correctness- security gap. Alive is presented, a domain-specific language for writing optimizations and for automatically either proving them correct or else generating counterexamples, and can be automatically translated into C++ code that is suitable for inclusion in an LLVM optimization pass. Interesting post, but you lost me at Lets try to do that using undef. Synthesizing software verifiers from proof rules. Done. C. Hathhorn, C. Ellison, and G. Rosu. Taming undefined behavior in LLVM Authors: Juneyoung Lee Pohang University of Science and Technology Yoonseung Kim Youngju Song Chung-Kil Hur Abstract A central concern for an optimizing compiler. Alive is extended to 1) reduce the SMT formula sizes generated to improve performance and 2) significantly increase analysis coverage with a new loop unrolling algorithm for loops written in Alive IR. Tapir: Embedding fork-join parallelism into LLVMs intermediate representation. So this example has two cases: In case 1 the comparison returns true. In Proc. of the GCC Developers Summit, 2007. What every compiler writer should know about programmers. The IR for every optimizing compiler we have looked at, includingGCC, LLVM, Intels, and Microsofts, supports one or more forms of undefined behavior (UB), not only to reflect the semantics of UB-heavy programming languages such as C and C++, but also to model inherently unsafe low-level operations such as memory stores and to avoid over-constraining IR semantics to the point that desirable transformations become illegal. The current semantics of LLVM's IR fails to justify some cases of loop unswitching, global value numbering, and other important "textbook" optimizations, causing long-standing bugs. Sparse functional stores for imperative programs. Into the depths of C: Elaborating the de facto standards. The compiler is going to use the rule x+1 > x when x is signed to validate an optimization a new paper about undefined behavior in LLVM, the details are all there in Section 3 of the paper. Undefined Behavior: What Happened to My Code? T. B. Schardl, W. S. Moses, and C. E. Leiserson. We present solutions to the problems we have identified in LLVM's IR and show that most optimizations currently in LLVM remain sound, and that some desirable new transformations become permissible. E. Mullen, D. Zuniga, Z. Tatlock, and D. Grossman. Unfortunately, this is not reliably possible with gcc, and therefore this optimization leads to bigger code. I dont particularly want C/C++ compilers to optimize x+1>x to true either. 2. immediate UB is too strong (prevents speculation).
