The old test was checking for a stupid subtract one that is a transform that
makes the code woorse.
The constant-islands-jump-table.ll test wants the code a specific way,
that makes sense, so I will submit code to fix that one.
Sorry that I really didn't know how to run the test suite before this.

Rather than gating on "isSwitchDense" (resulting in necessesarily
sparse lookup tables even when they were generated), always run
this quite cheap transform.
This transform is useful not just for generating tables.
LowerSwitch also wants this: read LowerSwitch.cpp:257.
Be careful to not generate worse code, by introducing a
SubThreshold heuristic.
Instead of just sorting by signed, generalize the finding of the
best base.
And now that it is run unconditionally, do not replicate its
functionality in SwitchToLookupTable (which could use a Sub
when having a hole is smaller, hence the SubThreshold
heuristic located in a single place).
This simplifies SwitchToLookupTable, and fixes
some ugly corner cases due to the use of signed numbers,
such as a table containing i16 32768 and 32769, of which
32769 would be interpreted as -32768, and now the code thinks
the table is size 65536.
(We still use unconditional subtraction when building a single-register mask,
but I think this whole block should go when the more general sparse
map is added, which doesn't leave empty holes in the table.)
And the reason test4 and test5 did not trigger was documented wrong:
it was because they were not considered sufficiently "dense".
Also, fix generation of invalid LLVM-IR: shl by bit-width.

The SimplifyCFG pass will perform jump threading in some cases where
doing so is trivial and would simplify the CFG. When folding a series
of blocks with redundant conditional branches into an unconditional "critical
edge" block, it does not keep the debug location associated with the previous
conditional branch.
This patch fixes the bug described by copying the debug info from the
old conditional branch to the new unconditional branch instruction, and

The current llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access metadata has a problem in that
it uses LoopIDs. LoopID unfortunately is not loop identifier. It is
neither unique (there's even a regression test assigning the some LoopID
to multiple loops; can otherwise happen if passes such as LoopVersioning
make copies of entire loops) nor persistent (every time a property is
removed/added from a LoopID's MDNode, it will also receive a new LoopID;
this happens e.g. when calling Loop::setLoopAlreadyUnrolled()).
Since most loop transformation passes change the loop attributes (even
if it just to mark that a loop should not be processed again as
llvm.loop.isvectorized does, for the versioned and unversioned loop),
the parallel access information is lost for any subsequent pass.
This patch unlinks LoopIDs and parallel accesses.
llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access metadata on instruction is replaced by
llvm.access.group metadata. llvm.access.group points to a distinct
MDNode with no operands (avoiding the problem to ever need to add/remove
operands), called "access group". Alternatively, it can point to a list
of access groups. The LoopID then has an attribute
llvm.loop.parallel_accesses with all the access groups that are parallel
(no dependencies carries by this loop).
This intentionally avoid any kind of "ID". Loops that are clones/have
their attributes modifies retain the llvm.loop.parallel_accesses
attribute. Access instructions that a cloned point to the same access
group. It is not necessary for each access to have it's own "ID" MDNode,
but those memory access instructions with the same behavior can be
grouped together.
The behavior of llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access is not changed by this
patch, but should be considered deprecated.

In PR39807 we incorrectly handle circumstances where calls are common'd
from conditional blocks into the parent BB. Calls that can be inlined
must always have DebugLocs, however we strip them during commoning, which
the IR verifier asserts on.
Fix this by using applyMergedLocation: it will perform the same DebugLoc
stripping of conditional Locs, but will also generate an unknown location
DebugLoc that satisfies the requirement for inlinable calls to always have
locations.
Some of the prior logic for selecting a DebugLoc is now likely redundant;
I'll generate a follow-up to remove it (involves editing more regression

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

When hoisting common code from the "then" and "else" branches of a condition
to before the "if", the HoistThenElseCodeToIf routine will attempt to merge
the debug location associated with the two original copies of the hoisted
instruction.
This is a problem in the special case where the hoisted instruction is a
debug info intrinsic, since for those the debug location is considered
part of the intrinsic and attempting to modify it may resut in invalid
IR. This is the underlying cause of PR36410.
This patch fixes the problem by handling debug info intrinsics specially:
instead of hoisting one copy and merging the two locations, the code now
simply hoists both copies, each with its original location intact. Note
that this is still only done in the case where both original copies are
otherwise (i.e. apart from location metadata) identical.

When hoisting common code from the "then" and "else" branches of a condition
to before the "if", there is no need to require that debug intrinsics match
before moving them (and merging them). Instead, we can simply always keep
all debug intrinsics from both sides of the "if".
This fixes PR36410, which describes a problem where as a result of the attempt
to merge debug locations for two debug intrinsics we end up with an invalid
intrinsic, where the scope indicated in the !dbg location no longer matches
the scope of the variable tracked by the intrinsic.
In addition, this has the benefit that we no longer throw away information
that is actually still valid, helping to generate better debug data.

So I thought I should stop here and post it as-is to see if this looks like what was expected
based on the discussion in PR34603:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34603
Notes:
1. The test improvement occurs because the existing 'LateSimplifyCFG' marker is not carried
through the recursive calls to 'SimplifyCFG()->SimplifyCFGOpt().run()->SimplifyCFG()'.
The parameter isn't passed down, so we pick up the default value from the function signature
after the first level. I assumed that was a bug, so I've passed 'Options' down in all of the
'SimplifyCFG' calls.
2. I split 'LateSimplifyCFG' into 2 bits: ConvertSwitchToLookupTable and KeepCanonicalLoops.
This would theoretically allow us to differentiate the transforms controlled by those params
independently.
3. We could stash the optional AssumptionCache pointer and 'LoopHeaders' pointer in the struct too.
I just stopped here to minimize the diffs.
4. Similarly, I stopped short of messing with the pass manager layer. I have another question that
could wait for the follow-up: why is the new pass manager creating the pass with LateSimplifyCFG
set to true no matter where in the pipeline it's creating SimplifyCFG passes?
// Create an early function pass manager to cleanup the output of the
// frontend.
EarlyFPM.addPass(SimplifyCFGPass());
-->
/// \brief Construct a pass with the default thresholds
/// and switch optimizations.
SimplifyCFGPass::SimplifyCFGPass()
: BonusInstThreshold(UserBonusInstThreshold),
LateSimplifyCFG(true) {} <-- switches get converted to lookup tables and loops may not be in canonical form
If this is unintended, then it's possible that the current behavior of dropping the 'LateSimplifyCFG'
setting via recursion was masking this bug.

This change simplifies code that has to deal with

Summary:
When simplifying unconditional branches from empty blocks, we pre-test if the
BB belongs to a set of loop headers and keep the block to prevent passes from
destroying canonical loop structure. However, the current algorithm fails if
the destination of the branch is a loop header. Especially when such a loop's
latch block is folded into loop header it results in additional backedges and
LoopSimplify turns it into a nested loop which prevent later optimizations
from being applied (e.g., loop unrolling and loop interleaving).
This patch augments the existing algorithm by further checking if the
destination of the branch belongs to a set of loop headers and defer
eliminating it if yes to LateSimplifyCFG.

One potential way to make InstCombine (very slightly?) faster is to recycle instructions
when possible instead of creating new ones. It's not explicitly stated AFAIK, but we don't
consider this an "InstSimplify". We could, however, make a new layer to house transforms
like this if that makes InstCombine more manageable (just throwing out an idea; not sure

The first variant contains all current transformations except
transforming switches into lookup tables. The second variant
contains all current transformations.
The switch-to-lookup-table conversion results in code that is more
difficult to analyze and optimize by other passes. Most importantly,
it can inhibit Dead Code Elimination. As such it is often beneficial to
only apply this transformation very late. A common example is inlining,
which can often result in range restrictions for the switch expression.
Changes in execution time according to LNT:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/fp-convert +3.03%

%0 = call i32 asm "rorl $2, $0", "=&r,0,n"(i32 %r6, i32 %.sink)

There was an efficiency problem with how we processed @llvm.assume in
ValueTracking (and other places). The AssumptionCache tracked all of the
assumptions in a given function. In order to find assumptions relevant to
computing known bits, etc. we searched every assumption in the function. For
ValueTracking, that means that we did O(#assumes * #values) work in InstCombine
and other passes (with a constant factor that can be quite large because we'd
repeat this search at every level of recursion of the analysis).
Several of us discussed this situation at the last developers' meeting, and
this implements the discussed solution: Make the values that an assume might
affect operands of the assume itself. To avoid exposing this detail to
frontends and passes that need not worry about it, I've used the new
operand-bundle feature to add these extra call "operands" in a way that does
not affect the intrinsic's signature. I think this solution is relatively
clean. InstCombine adds these extra operands based on what ValueTracking, LVI,
etc. will need and then those passes need only search the users of the values
under consideration. This should fix the computational-complexity problem.
At this point, no passes depend on the AssumptionCache, and so I'll remove
that as a follow-up change.

Summary:
This change adds some verification in the IR verifier around struct path
TBAA metadata.
Other than some basic sanity checks (e.g. we get constant integers where
we expect constant integers), this checks:
- That by the time an struct access tuple `(base-type, offset)` is
"reduced" to a scalar base type, the offset is `0`. For instance, in
C++ you can't start from, say `("struct-a", 16)`, and end up with
`("int", 4)` -- by the time the base type is `"int"`, the offset
better be zero. In particular, a variant of this invariant is needed
for `llvm::getMostGenericTBAA` to be correct.
- That there are no cycles in a struct path.
- That struct type nodes have their offsets listed in an ascending
order.
- That when generating the struct access path, you eventually reach the
access type listed in the tbaa tag node.

This should *actually* fix PR30244. This cranks up the workaround for PR30188 so that we never sink loads or stores of allocas.
The idea is that these should be removed by SROA/Mem2Reg, and any movement of them may well confuse SROA or just cause unwanted code churn. It's not ideal that the midend should be crippled like this, but that unwanted churn can really cause significant regressions in important workloads (tsan).
llvm-svn: 281162
Exposed by PR30244, we will split a block currently if we think we can sink at least one instruction. However this isn't right - the reason we split predecessors is so that we can sink instructions that otherwise couldn't be sunk because it isn't safe to do so - stores, for example.
So, change the heuristic to only split if it thinks it can sink at least one non-speculatable instruction.

We can't create metadata-valued PHIs; don't try to do so when sinking.
I created a test case for this using the @llvm.type.test intrinsic, because it
takes a metadata parameter and does not have severe side effects (thus
SimplifyCFG is willing to otherwise sink it).
Previously, running the test case would crash with:
Invalid use of metadata!
%.sink = select i1 %flag, metadata <...>, metadata <0x4e45dc0>
LLVM ERROR: Broken function found, compilation aborted!
llvm-svn: 280866
I should have realised this the first time around, but if we're avoiding sinking stores where the operands come from allocas so they don't create selects, we also have to do the same for loads because SROA will be just as defective looking at loads of selected addresses as stores.
Fixes PR30188 (again).
llvm-svn: 280792
PR30292 showed a case where our PHI checking wasn't correct. We were checking that all values were used by the same PHI before deciding to sink, but we weren't checking that the incoming values for that PHI were what we expected. As a result, we had to bail out after block splitting which caused us to never reach a steady state in SimplifyCFG.
Fixes PR30292.

This test code previously caused a failure in the module verifier,

This was a real restriction in the original version of SinkIfThenCodeToEnd. Now it's been rewritten, the restriction can be lifted.
As part of this, we handle a very common and useful case where one of the incoming branches is actually conditional. Consider:
if (a)
x(1);
else if (b)
x(2);
This produces the following CFG:
[if]
/ \
[x(1)] [if]
| | \
| | \
| [x(2)] |
\ | /
[ end ]
[end] has two unconditional predecessor arcs and one conditional. The conditional refers to the implicit empty 'else' arc. This same pattern can also be caused by an empty default block in a switch.
We can't sink the call to x() down to end because no call to x() happens on the third incoming arc (assume that x() has sideeffects for the sake of argument; if something is safe to speculate we could indeed sink nevertheless but this cannot happen in the general case and causes many extra selects).
We are now able to detect this case and split off the unconditional arcs to a common successor:
[if]
/ \
[x(1)] [if]
| | \
| | \
| [x(2)] |
\ / |
[sink.split] |

Now we can sink the call to x() into %sink.split. This can cause significant code simplification in many testcases.
llvm-svn: 280364
r279460 rewrote this function to be able to handle more than two incoming edges and took pains to ensure this didn't regress anything.
This time we change the logic for determining if an instruction should be sunk. Previously we used a single pass greedy algorithm - sink instructions until one requires more than one PHI node or we run out of instructions to sink.
This had the problem that sinking instructions that had non-identical but trivially the same operands needed extra logic so we sunk them aggressively. For example:
%a = load i32* %b %d = load i32* %b
%c = gep i32* %a, i32 0 %e = gep i32* %d, i32 1
Sinking %c and %e would naively require two PHI merges as %a != %d. But the loads are obviously equivalent (and maybe can't be hoisted because there is no common predecessor).
This is why we implemented the fairly complex function areValuesTriviallySame(), to look through trivial differences like this. However it's just not clever enough.
Instead, throw areValuesTriviallySame away, use pointer equality to check equivalence of operands and switch to a two-stage algorithm.
In the "scan" stage, we look at every sinkable instruction in isolation from end of block to front. If it's sinkable, we keep track of all operands that required PHI merging.
In the "sink" stage, we iteratively sink the last non-terminator in the source blocks. But when calculating how many PHIs are actually required to be inserted (to work out if we should stop or not) we remove any values that have already been sunk from the set of PHI-merges required, which allows us to be more aggressive.
This turns an algorithm with potentially recursive lookahead (looking through GEPs, casts, loads and any other instruction potentially not CSE'd) to two linear scans.
llvm-svn: 280351
We check that a sinking candidate is used by only one PHI node during our legality checks. However for instructions that are used by other sinking candidates our heuristic is less conservative. This can result in a candidate actually being illegal when we come to sink it because of how we sunk a predecessor. Do the used-by-only-one-PHI checks again during sinking to ensure we don't crash.

This turns an algorithm with potentially recursive lookahead (looking through GEPs, casts, loads and any other instruction potentially not CSE'd) to two linear scans.
