running IPSCCP early, and we run functionattrs interlaced with the inliner,
we often (particularly for small or noop functions) completely propagate
all of the information about a call to its call site in IPSSCP (making a call
dead) and functionattrs is smart enough to realize that the function is
readonly (because it is interlaced with inliner).
To improve compile time and make the inliner threshold more accurate, realize
that we don't have to inline dead readonly function calls. Instead, just
delete the call. This happens all the time for C++ codes, here are some
counters from opt/llvm-ld counting the number of times calls were deleted vs
inlined on various apps:
Tramp3d opt:
5033 inline - Number of call sites deleted, not inlined
24596 inline - Number of functions inlined
llvm-ld:
667 inline - Number of functions deleted because all callers found
699 inline - Number of functions inlined
483.xalancbmk opt:
8096 inline - Number of call sites deleted, not inlined
62528 inline - Number of functions inlined
llvm-ld:
217 inline - Number of allocas merged together
2158 inline - Number of functions inlined
471.omnetpp:
331 inline - Number of call sites deleted, not inlined
8981 inline - Number of functions inlined
llvm-ld:
171 inline - Number of functions deleted because all callers found
629 inline - Number of functions inlined
Deleting a call is much faster than inlining it, and is insensitive to the
size of the callee. :)

and that will make Caller too big to inline, see if it
might be better to inline Caller into its callers instead.
This situation is described in PR 2973, although I haven't
tried the specific case in SPASS.

indirect function pointer, inline it, then go to delete the body.
The problem is that the callgraph had other references to the function,
though the inliner had no way to know it, so we got a dangling pointer
and an invalid iterator out of the deal.
The fix to this is pretty simple: stop the inliner from deleting the
function by knowing that there are references to it. Do this by making
CallGraphNodes contain a refcount. This requires moving deletion of
available_externally functions to the module-level cleanup sweep where
it belongs.

argpromotion and structretpromote. Basically, when replacing
a function, they used the 'changeFunction' api which changes
the entry in the function map (and steals/reuses the callgraph
node).
This has some interesting effects: first, the problem is that it doesn't
update the "callee" edges in any callees of the function in the call graph.
Second, this covers for a major problem in all the CGSCC pass stuff, which
is that it is completely broken when functions are deleted if they *don't*
reuse a CGN. (there is a cute little fixme about this though :).
This patch changes the protocol that CGSCC passes must obey: now the CGSCC
pass manager copies the SCC and preincrements its iterator to avoid passes
invalidating it. This allows CGSCC passes to mutate the current SCC. However
multiple passes may be run on that SCC, so if passes do this, they are now
required to *update* the SCC to be current when they return.
Other less interesting parts of this patch are that it makes passes update
the CG more directly, eliminates changeFunction, and requires clients of
replaceCallSite to specify the new callee CGN if they are changing it.

calls into a function and if the calls bring in arrays, try to merge
them together to reduce stack size. For example, in the testcase
we'd previously end up with 4 allocas, now we end up with 2 allocas.
As described in the comments, this is not really the ideal solution
to this problem, but it is surprisingly effective. For example, on
176.gcc, we end up eliminating 67 arrays at "gccas" time and another
24 at "llvm-ld" time.
One piece of concern that I didn't look into: at -O0 -g with
forced inlining this will almost certainly result in worse debug
info. I think this is acceptable though given that this is a case
of "debugging optimized code", and we don't want debug info to
prevent the optimizer from doing things anyway.

- Some clients which used DOUT have moved to DEBUG. We are deprecating the
"magic" DOUT behavior which avoided calling printing functions when the
statement was disabled. In addition to being unnecessary magic, it had the
downside of leaving code in -Asserts builds, and of hiding potentially
unnecessary computations.

and it wasn't generating calls through @PLT for these functions.
hasLocalLinkage() is now false for available_externally,
I attempted to fix the inliner and dce to handle available_externally properly.
It passed make check.

the inliner; prevents nondeterministic behavior
when the same address is reallocated.
Don't build call graph nodes for debug intrinsic calls;
they're useless, and there were typically a lot of them.

compensation for turning off gcc's inliner. This gets
us closer to the amount of inlining we were getting before.
It is not a win on everything, of course, but seems to
gain overall.

- This explicitly models the costs for functions which should
"always" or "never" be inlined. This fixes bugs where such costs
were not previously respected.

This sets the stage
- to implement function notes as function attributes and
- to distinguish between function attributes and return value attributes.
This requires corresponding changes in llvm-gcc and clang.

2. Do not use # of basic blocks as part of the cost computation since it doesn't really figure into function size.
3. More aggressively inline function with vector code.

Furthermore, double the limit when more than 10% of the callee instructions are vector instructions. Multimedia kernels tend to love inlining.
