Function isNonEscapingLocalObject is a static one within BasicAliasAnalysis.cpp.
It wraps around PointerMayBeCaptured of CaptureTracking, checking whether a pointer
is to a function-local object, which never escapes from the function.
Although at the moment, isNonEscapingLocalObject is used only by BasicAliasAnalysis,
its functionality can be used by other pass(es), one of which I will put up for review
very soon. Instead of copying the contents of this static function, I move it to llvm
scope, and place it amongst other functions with similar functionality in CaptureTracking.
The rationale for the location are:
- Pointer escape and pointer being captured are actually two sides of the same coin
- isNonEscapingLocalObject is wrapping around another function in CaptureTracking

As shown in D82998, the basic-aa-recphi option can cause miscompiles for
gep's with negative constants. The option checks for recursive phi, that
recurse through a contant gep. If it finds one, it performs aliasing
calculations using the other phi operands with an unknown size, to
specify that an unknown number of elements after the initial value are
potentially accessed. This works fine expect where the constant is
negative, as the size is still considered to be positive. So this patch
expands the check to make sure that the constant is also positive.

GetUnderlyingObject() (and by required symmetry
DecomposeGEPExpression()) will call SimplifyInstruction() on the
passed value if other checks fail. This simplification is very
expensive, but has little effect in practice. This patch removes
the SimplifyInstruction call(), and replaces it with a check for
single-argument phis (which can occur in canonical IR in LCSSA
form), which is the only useful simplification case I was able to
identify.
At O3 the geomean CTMark improvement is -1.7%. The largest
improvement is SPASS with ThinLTO at -6%.
In test-suite, I see only two tests with a hash difference and
no code size difference (PAQ8p, Ptrdist), which indicates that
the simplification only ends up being useful very rarely. (I would
have liked to figure out which simplification is responsible here,
but wasn't able to spot it looking at transformation logs.)
The AMDGPU test case that is update was using two selects with
undef condition, in which case GetUnderlyingObject will return
the first select operand as the underlying object. This will of
course not happen with non-undef conditions, so this was not
testing anything realistic. Additionally this illustrates potential
unsoundness: While GetUnderlyingObject will pick the first operand,
the select might be later replaced by the second operand, resulting
in inconsistent assumptions about the undef value.

Currently, BasicAA does not exploit information about value ranges of
indexes. For example, consider the 2 pointers %a = %base and
%b = %base + %stride below, assuming they are used to access 4 elements.
If we know that %stride >= 4, we know the accesses do not alias. If
%stride is a constant, BasicAA currently gets that. But if the >= 4
constraint is encoded using an assume, it misses the NoAlias.
This patch extends DecomposedGEP to include an additional MinOtherOffset
field, which tracks the constant offset similar to the existing
OtherOffset, which the difference that it also includes non-negative
lower bounds on the range of the index value. When checking if the
distance between 2 accesses exceeds the access size, we can use this
improved bound.
For now this is limited to using non-negative lower bounds for indices,
as this conveniently skips cases where we do not have a useful lower
bound (because it is not constrained). We potential miss out in cases
where the lower bound is constrained but negative, but that can be
exploited in the future.

Now that we have scalable vectors, there's a distinction that isn't
getting captured in the original SequentialType: some vectors don't have
a known element count, so counting the number of elements doesn't make
sense.
In some cases, there's a better way to express the commonality using
other methods. If we're dealing with GEPs, there's GEP methods; if we're
dealing with a ConstantDataSequential, we can query its element type
directly.
In the relatively few remaining cases, I just decided to write out

the abstraction doesn't really carry its weight. (See thread "[RFC]

This is the first change to enable the TLI to be built per-function so
that -fno-builtin* handling can be migrated to use function attributes.
See discussion on D61634 for background. This is an enabler for fixing
handling of these options for LTO, for example.
This change should not affect behavior, as the provided function is not
yet used to build a specifically per-function TLI, but rather enables
that migration.
Most of the changes were very mechanical, e.g. passing a Function to the
legacy analysis pass's getTLI interface, or in Module level cases,
adding a callback. This is similar to the way the per-function TTI
analysis works.
There was one place where we were looking for builtins but not in the
context of a specific function. See FindCXAAtExit in
lib/Transforms/IPO/GlobalOpt.cpp. I'm somewhat concerned my workaround
could provide the wrong behavior in some corner cases. Suggestions
welcome.

Summary:
Adding contained caching to AliasAnalysis. BasicAA is currently the only one using it.
AA changes:
- This patch is pulling the caches from BasicAAResults to AAResults, meaning the getModRefInfo call benefits from the IsCapturedCache as well when in "batch mode".
- All AAResultBase implementations add the QueryInfo member to all APIs. AAResults APIs maintain wrapper APIs such that all alias()/getModRefInfo call sites are unchanged.
- AA now provides a BatchAAResults type as a wrapper to AAResults. It keeps the AAResults instance and a QueryInfo instantiated to batch mode. It delegates all work to the AAResults instance with the batched QueryInfo. More API wrappers may be needed in BatchAAResults; only the minimum needed is currently added.
MemorySSA changes:
- All walkers are now templated on the AA used (AliasAnalysis=AAResults or BatchAAResults).
- At build time, we optimize uses; now we create a local walker (lives only as long as OptimizeUses does) using BatchAAResults.
- All Walkers have an internal AA and only use that now, never the AA in MemorySSA. The Walkers receive the AA they will use when built.
- The walker we use for queries after the build is instantiated on AliasAnalysis and is built after building MemorySSA and setting AA.
- All static methods doing walking are now templated on AliasAnalysisType if they are used both during build and after. If used only during build, the method now only takes a BatchAAResults. If used only after build, the method now takes an AliasAnalysis.

This uses the same approach as the AliasCache, i.e. the cache is reset
after each alias() call. The cache is not used or updated by modRefInfo
calls since it's harder to know when to reset the cache.

minted `CallBase` class instead of the `CallSite` wrapper.
This moves the largest interwoven collection of APIs that traffic in
`CallSite`s. While a handful of these could have been migrated with
a minorly more shallow migration by converting from a `CallSite` to
a `CallBase`, it hardly seemed worth it. Most of the APIs needed to
migrate together because of the complex interplay of AA APIs and the
fact that converting from a `CallBase` to a `CallSite` isn't free in its
current implementation.
Out of tree users of these APIs can fairly reliably migrate with some
combination of `.getInstruction()` on the `CallSite` instance and
casting the resulting pointer. The most generic form will look like `CS`
-> `cast_or_null<CallBase>(CS.getInstruction())` but in most cases there
is a more elegant migration. Hopefully, this migrates enough APIs for
users to fully move from `CallSite` to the base class. All of the
in-tree users were easily migrated in that fashion.

Motivated by the discussion in D38499, this patch updates BasicAA to support
arbitrary pointer sizes by switching most remaining non-APInt calculations to
use APInt. The size of these APInts is set to the maximum pointer size (maximum
over all address spaces described by the data layout string).
Most of this translation is straightforward, but this patch contains a fix for
a bug that revealed itself during this translation process. In order for
test/Analysis/BasicAA/gep-and-alias.ll to pass, which is run with 32-bit
pointers, the intermediate calculations must be performed using 64-bit
integers. This is because, as noted in the patch, when GetLinearExpression
decomposes an expression into C1*V+C2, and we then multiply this by Scale, and
distribute, to get (C1*Scale)*V + C2*Scale, it can be the case that, even
through C1*V+C2 does not overflow for relevant values of V, (C2*Scale) can
overflow. If this happens, later logic will draw invalid conclusions from the
(base) offset value. Thus, when initially applying the APInt conversion,
because the maximum pointer size in this test is 32 bits, it started failing.
Suspicious, I created a 64-bit version of this test (included here), and that
failed (miscompiled) on trunk for a similar reason (the multiplication can
overflow).
After fixing this overflow bug, the first test case (at least) in
Analysis/BasicAA/q.bad.ll started failing. This is also a 32-bit test, and was
relying on having 64-bit intermediate values to have BasicAA return an accurate
result. In order to fix this problem, and because I believe that it is not
uncommon to use i64 indexing expressions in 32-bit code (especially portable
code using int64_t), it seems reasonable to always use at least 64-bit
integers. In this way, we won't regress our analysis capabilities (and there's
a command-line option added, so experimenting with this should be easy).
As pointed out by Eli during the review, there are other potential overflow
conditions that this patch does not address. Fixing those is left to follow-up
work.

stackrestore is already marked with the most conservative memory
modification attributes, but because the alloca is not escaped, the
normal logic produces incorrect results. I think BasicAA needs a special

patch for more context. The first change being r344012.
Since I was requested to do all of this with post-commit review, this is
about as small as I can make this patch.
This patch makes LocationSize into an actual type that wraps a uint64_t;
users are required to call getValue() in order to get the size now. If
the LocationSize has an Unknown size (e.g. if LocSize ==
MemoryLocation::UnknownSize), getValue() will assert.
This also adds DenseMap specializations for LocationInfo, which required
taking two more values from the set of values LocationInfo can
represent. Hence, heavy users of multi-exabyte arrays or structs may
observe slightly lower-quality code as a result of this change.
The intent is for getValue()s to be very close to a corresponding
hasValue() (which is often spelled `!= MemoryLocation::UnknownSize`).
Sadly, small diff context appears to crop that out sometimes, and the
last change in DSE does require a bit of nonlocal reasoning about
control-flow. :/
This also removes an assert, since it's now redundant with the assert in
getValue().

In particular, the next change in this series is meant to make
LocationSize an actual type, which you have to call .getValue() on in
order to get at the uint64_t inside. Hence, this change refactors code
so that:
- we only need to call the soon-to-come getValue() once in most cases,
and
- said call to getValue() happens very closely to a piece of code that
checks if the LocationSize has a value (e.g. if it's != UnknownSize).

Summary:
Calls marked 'tail' cannot read or write allocas from the current frame
because the current frame might be destroyed by the time they run.
However, a tail call may use an alloca with byval. Calling with byval
copies the contents of the alloca into argument registers or stack
slots, so there is no lifetime issue. Tail calls never modify allocas,
so we can return just ModRefInfo::Ref.
