[llvm-dev] `llvm.experimental.stackmap` is erroneously marked `Throws`?

[Edd Barrett via llvm-dev]

Hi llvm-dev,

I've recently been experimenting with stackmaps as part of a research
project, and I think I may have found a problem.

In short, should `llvm.experimental.stackmap` be marked as `Throws` as
it currently is? When it is marked in this way, it seems possible for
optimisation passes, when inlining, to change calls to invokes,
resulting in errors like this:

```
Cannot invoke an intrinsic other than donothing, patchpoint, statepoint, coro_resume or coro_destroy
invoke void (i64, i32, ...%) @llvm.experimental.stackmap(i64 1, i32 0)
          to label 13
```

I've raised a bug for this here:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37788

And posted a potential fix to phabricator here:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D48602

It would be great if someone who knows about stackmaps could take a
look, as I'm currently having to maintain a local LLVM patch for my
work.

Thanks
