+"``cxx_fast_tlscc``" - The `CXX_FAST_TLS` calling convention for access functions
+ Clang generates an access function to access C++-style TLS. The access
+ function generally has an entry block, an exit block and an initialization
+ block that is run at the first time. The entry and exit blocks can access
+ a few TLS IR variables, each access will be lowered to a platform-specific
+ sequence.
+
+ This calling convention aims to minimize overhead in the caller by
+ preserving as many registers as possible (all the registers that are
+ perserved on the fast path, composed of the entry and exit blocks).
+
+ This calling convention behaves identical to the `C` calling convention on
+ how arguments and return values are passed, but it uses a different set of
+ caller/callee-saved registers.
+
+ Given that each platform has its own lowering sequence, hence its own set
+ of preserved registers, we can't use the existing `PreserveMost`.
+
+ - On X86-64 the callee preserves all general purpose registers, except for
+ RDI and RAX.

+
+Operand Bundles
+---------------
+
+Note: operand bundles are a work in progress, and they should be
+considered experimental at this time.
+
+Operand bundles are tagged sets of SSA values that can be associated
+with certain LLVM instructions (currently only ``call`` s and
+``invoke`` s). In a way they are like metadata, but dropping them is
+incorrect and will change program semantics.
+
+Syntax::
+
+ operand bundle set ::= '[' operand bundle (, operand bundle )* ']'
+ operand bundle ::= tag '(' [ bundle operand ] (, bundle operand )* ')'
+ bundle operand ::= SSA value
+ tag ::= string constant
+
+Operand bundles are **not** part of a function's signature, and a
+given function may be called from multiple places with different kinds
+of operand bundles. This reflects the fact that the operand bundles
+are conceptually a part of the ``call`` (or ``invoke``), not the
+callee being dispatched to.
+
+Operand bundles are a generic mechanism intended to support
+runtime-introspection-like functionality for managed languages. While
+the exact semantics of an operand bundle depend on the bundle tag,
+there are certain limitations to how much the presence of an operand
+bundle can influence the semantics of a program. These restrictions
+are described as the semantics of an "unknown" operand bundle. As
+long as the behavior of an operand bundle is describable within these
+restrictions, LLVM does not need to have special knowledge of the
+operand bundle to not miscompile programs containing it.
+
+- The bundle operands for an unknown operand bundle escape in unknown
+ ways before control is transferred to the callee or invokee.
+- Calls and invokes with operand bundles have unknown read / write
+ effect on the heap on entry and exit (even if the call target is
+ ``readnone`` or ``readonly``), unless they're overriden with
+ callsite specific attributes.
+- An operand bundle at a call site cannot change the implementation
+ of the called function. Inter-procedural optimizations work as
+ usual as long as they take into account the first two properties.
+
+More specific types of operand bundles are described below.
+
+Deoptimization Operand Bundles
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Deoptimization operand bundles are characterized by the ``"deopt"``
+operand bundle tag. These operand bundles represent an alternate
+"safe" continuation for the call site they're attached to, and can be
+used by a suitable runtime to deoptimize the compiled frame at the
+specified call site. There can be at most one ``"deopt"`` operand
+bundle attached to a call site. Exact details of deoptimization is
+out of scope for the language reference, but it usually involves
+rewriting a compiled frame into a set of interpreted frames.
+
+From the compiler's perspective, deoptimization operand bundles make
+the call sites they're attached to at least ``readonly``. They read
+through all of their pointer typed operands (even if they're not
+otherwise escaped) and the entire visible heap. Deoptimization
+operand bundles do not capture their operands except during
+deoptimization, in which case control will not be returned to the
+compiled frame.
+
+The inliner knows how to inline through calls that have deoptimization
+operand bundles. Just like inlining through a normal call site
+involves composing the normal and exceptional continuations, inlining
+through a call site with a deoptimization operand bundle needs to
+appropriately compose the "safe" deoptimization continuation. The
+inliner does this by prepending the parent's deoptimization
+continuation to every deoptimization continuation in the inlined body.
+E.g. inlining ``@f`` into ``@g`` in the following example
+
+.. code-block:: llvm
+
+ define void @f() {
+ call void @x() ;; no deopt state
+ call void @y() [ "deopt"(i32 10) ]
+ call void @y() [ "deopt"(i32 10), "unknown"(i8* null) ]
+ ret void
+ }
+
+ define void @g() {
+ call void @f() [ "deopt"(i32 20) ]
+ ret void
+ }
+
+will result in
+
+.. code-block:: llvm
+
+ define void @g() {
+ call void @x() ;; still no deopt state
+ call void @y() [ "deopt"(i32 20, i32 10) ]
+ call void @y() [ "deopt"(i32 20, i32 10), "unknown"(i8* null) ]
+ ret void
+ }
+
+It is the frontend's responsibility to structure or encode the
+deoptimization state in a way that syntactically prepending the
+caller's deoptimization state to the callee's deoptimization state is
+semantically equivalent to composing the caller's deoptimization
+continuation after the callee's deoptimization continuation.

+Overview:
+"""""""""
+
+The '``llvm.invariant.group.barrier``' intrinsic can be used when an invariant
+established by invariant.group metadata no longer holds, to obtain a new pointer
+value that does not carry the invariant information.
+
+
+Arguments:
+""""""""""
+
+The ``llvm.invariant.group.barrier`` takes only one argument, which is
+the pointer to the memory for which the ``invariant.group`` no longer holds.
+
+Semantics:
+""""""""""
+
+Returns another pointer that aliases its argument but which is considered different
+for the purposes of ``load``/``store`` ``invariant.group`` metadata.
