To accomplish this, moving forward users will need to provide a legalization target that defines what operations are legal for the conversion. A target can mark an operation as legal by providing a specific legalization action. The initial actions are:
* Legal
- This action signals that every instance of the given operation is legal,
i.e. any combination of attributes, operands, types, etc. is valid.
* Dynamic
- This action signals that only some instances of a given operation are legal. This
allows for defining fine-tune constraints, like say std.add is only legal when
operating on 32-bit integers.
An example target is shown below:
struct MyTarget : public ConversionTarget {
MyTarget(MLIRContext &ctx) : ConversionTarget(ctx) {
// All operations in the LLVM dialect are legal.
addLegalDialect<LLVMDialect>();
// std.constant op is always legal on this target.
addLegalOp<ConstantOp>();
// std.return op has dynamic legality constraints.
addDynamicallyLegalOp<ReturnOp>();
}
/// Implement the custom legalization handler to handle
/// std.return.
bool isLegal(Operation *op) override {
// Process the dynamic handling for a std.return op (and any others that were
// marked "dynamic").
...
}
};

Originally, FunctionConverter::convertRegion in the DialectConversion framework
was implemented as a function template because it was creating a new region in
the parent object, which could have been an op or a function. Since
DialectConversion now operates in place, new region is no longer created so
there is no need for convertRegion to be aware of the parent, only of the error
reporting location.

The converter now works by inserting fake producer operations when replacing the results of an existing operation with values of a different, now legal, type. These fake operations are guaranteed to never escape the converter.

Dialect conversion currently clones the operations that did not match any
pattern. This includes cloning any regions that belong to these operations.
Instead, apply conversion recursively to the nested regions.
Note that if an operation matched one of the conversion patterns, it is up to
the pattern rewriter to fill in the regions of the converted operation. This
may require calling back to the converter and is left for future work.

This fixes a bug: previously, during conversion function argument
attributes were neither beings passed through nor converted. This fix
extends DialectConversion to allow for simultaneous conversion of the
function type and the argument attributes.
This was important when lowering MLIR to LLVM where attribute
information (e.g. noalias) needs to be preserved in MLIR(LLVMDialect).
Longer run it seems reasonable that we want to convert both the
function attribute and its type and the argument attributes, but that
requires a small refactoring in Function.h to aggregate these three
fields in an inner struct, which will require some discussion.

Function types are built-in in MLIR and affect the validity of the IR itself.
However, advanced target dialects such as the LLVM IR dialect may include
custom function types. Until now, dialect conversion was expecting function
types not to be converted to the custom type: although the signatures was
allowed to change, the outer type must have been an mlir::FunctionType. This
effectively prevented dialect conversion from creating instructions that
operate on values of the custom function type.
Dissociate function signature conversion from general type conversion.
Function signature conversion must still produce an mlir::FunctionType and is
used in places where built-in types are required to make IR valid. General
type conversion is used for SSA values, including function and block arguments
and function results.
Exercise this behavior in the LLVM IR dialect conversion by converting function
types to LLVM IR function pointer types. The pointer to a function is chosen
to provide consistent lowering of higher-order functions: while it is possible
to have a value of function type, it is not possible to create a function type
accepting a returning another function type.

This commit introduces a generic dialect conversion/lowering/legalization pass
and illustrates it on StandardOps->LLVMIR conversion.
It partially reuses the PatternRewriter infrastructure and adds the following
functionality:
- an actual pass;
- non-default pattern constructors;
- one-to-many rewrites;
- rewriting terminators with successors;
- not applying patterns iteratively (unlike the existing greedy rewrite driver);
- ability to change function signature;
- ability to change basic block argument types.
The latter two things required, given the existing API, to create new functions
in the same module. Eventually, this should converge with the rest of
PatternRewriter. However, we may want to keep two pass versions: "heavy" with
function/block argument conversion and "light" that only touches operations.
This pass creates new functions within a module as a means to change function
signature, then creates new blocks with converted argument types in the new
function. Then, it traverses the CFG in DFS-preorder to make sure defs are
converted before uses in the dominated blocks. The generic pass has a minimal
interface with two hooks: one to fill in the set of patterns, and another one
to convert types for functions and blocks. The patterns are defined as
separate classes that can be table-generated in the future.
The LLVM IR lowering pass partially inherits from the existing LLVM IR
translator, in particular for type conversion. It defines a conversion pattern
template, instantiated for different operations, and is a good candidate for
tablegen. The lowering does not yet support loads and stores and is not
connected to the translator as it would have broken the existing flows. Future
patches will add missing support before switching the translator in a single
patch.
