Summary:
Following the discussion on r241884, it's more reasonable to assume that a
target has no vector registers by default instead of letting every such
target overrides getNumberOfRegisters.
Therefore, this patch modifies BasicTTIImpl::getNumberOfRegisters to
return 0 when Vector is true, and partially reverts r241884 which
modifies NVPTXTTIImpl::getNumberOfRegisters.
It also fixes a performance bug in LoopVectorizer. Even if a target has
no vector registers, vectorization may still help ILP. So, we need both
checks to be false before disabling loop vectorization all together.

Place all code corresponding to a run-time check in one place.
Previously we generated some code, then proceeded to a next check, then
finished the code for the first check (like splitting blocks and
generating branches). Now the code for generating a check is
self-contained.

This is mostly an NFC, which increases code readability (instead of
saving old terminator, generating new one in front of old, and deleting
old, we just call a function). However, it would additionaly copy
the debug location from old instruction to replacement, which
would help PR23837.

If we are dealing with a pointer induction variable, isInductionPHI
gives back a step value of Stride / size of pointer. However, we might
be indexing with a legal type wider than the pointer width.
Handle this by inserting casts where appropriate instead of crashing.
This fixes PR23954.

A reduction is a special kind of recurrence. In the loop vectorizer we currently

Interleaved memory accesses are grouped and vectorized into vector load/store and shufflevector.
E.g. for (i = 0; i < N; i+=2) {
a = A[i]; // load of even element
b = A[i+1]; // load of odd element
... // operations on a, b, c, d
A[i] = c; // store of even element
A[i+1] = d; // store of odd element
}
The loads of even and odd elements are identified as an interleave load group, which will be transfered into vectorized IRs like:
%wide.vec = load <8 x i32>, <8 x i32>* %ptr
%vec.even = shufflevector <8 x i32> %wide.vec, <8 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 2, i32 4, i32 6>
%vec.odd = shufflevector <8 x i32> %wide.vec, <8 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 1, i32 3, i32 5, i32 7>
The stores of even and odd elements are identified as an interleave store group, which will be transfered into vectorized IRs like:
%interleaved.vec = shufflevector <4 x i32> %vec.even, %vec.odd, <8 x i32> <i32 0, i32 4, i32 1, i32 5, i32 2, i32 6, i32 3, i32 7>
store <8 x i32> %interleaved.vec, <8 x i32>* %ptr

port it to the new pass manager.
All this does is extract the inner "location" class used by AA into its
own full fledged type. This seems *much* cleaner as MemoryDependence and
soon MemorySSA also use this heavily, and it doesn't make much sense
being inside the AA infrastructure.
This will also make it much easier to break apart the AA infrastructure
into something that stands on its own rather than using the analysis
group design.
There are a few places where this makes APIs not make sense -- they were
taking an AliasAnalysis pointer just to build locations. I'll try to
clean those up in follow-up commits.

The patch disabled unrolling in loop vectorization pass when VF==1 on x86 architecture,
by setting MaxInterleaveFactor to 1. Unrolling in loop vectorization pass may introduce
the cost of overflow check, memory boundary check and extra prologue/epilogue code when
regular unroller will unroll the loop another time. Disable it when VF==1 remove the
unnecessary cost on x86. The same can be done for other platforms after verifying
interleaving/memory bound checking to be not perf critical on those platforms.

Original commit message:
"Calls to llvm::Value::mutateType are becoming extra-sensitive now that
instructions have extra type information that will not be derived from
operands or result type (alloca, gep, load, call/invoke, etc... ). The
special-handling for mutateType will get more complicated as this work
continues - it might be worth making mutateType virtual & pushing the
complexity down into the classes that need special handling. But with
only two significant uses of mutateType (vectorization and linking) this
seems OK for now.
Totally open to ideas/suggestions/improvements, of course.
With this, and a bunch of exceptions, we can roundtrip an indirect call
site through bitcode and IR. (a direct call site is actually trickier...
I haven't figured out how to deal with the IR deserializer's lazy
construction of Function/GlobalVariable decl's based on the type of the
entity which means looking through the "pointer to T" type referring to
the global)"
The remapping done in ValueMapper for LTO was insufficient as the types
weren't correctly mapped (though I was using the post-mapped operands,
some of those operands might not have been mapped yet so the type
wouldn't be post-mapped yet). Instead use the pre-mapped type and
explicitly map all the types.

(Re-apply r234361 with a fix and a testcase for PR23157)
Both run-time pointer checking and the dependence analysis are capable
of dealing with uniform addresses. I.e. it's really just an orthogonal
property of the loop that the analysis computes.
Run-time pointer checking will only try to reason about SCEVAddRec
pointers or else gives up. If the uniform pointer turns out the be a
SCEVAddRec in an outer loop, the run-time checks generated will be
correct (start and end bounds would be equal).
In case of the dependence analysis, we work again with SCEVs. When
compared against a loop-dependent address of the same underlying object,
the difference of the two SCEVs won't be constant. This will result in
returning an Unknown dependence for the pair.
When compared against another uniform access, the difference would be
constant and we should return the right type of dependence
(forward/backward/etc).
The changes also adds support to query this property of the loop and
modify the vectorizer to use this.

The plan here is to push the API changes out from the common components
(like Constant::getGetElementPtr and IRBuilder::CreateGEP related
functions) and just update callers to either pass the type if it's
obvious, or pass null.
Do this with LoadInst as well and anything else that comes up, then to
start porting specific uses to not pass null anymore - this may require
some refactoring in each case.
llvm-svn: 234042
The changes to InstCombine do seem a bit silly - it doesn't make
anything obviously better to have the caller access the pointers element
type (the thing I'm trying to remove) than the GEP itself, but it's a
helpful migration step. This will allow me to more obviously lock down
GEP (& Load, etc) API usage, then fix all the code that accesses pointer
element types except the places that need to be removed (most of the
InstCombines) anyway - at which point I'll need to just remove all that
code because it won't be meaningful anymore (there will be no pointer
types, so no bitcasts to combine)

Now the analysis won't "fail" if the memchecks exceed the threshold. It
is the transform pass' responsibility to perform the check.
This allows the transform pass to further analyze/eliminate the
memchecks. E.g. in Loop distribution we only need to check pointers
that end up in different partitions.
Note that there is a slight change of functionality here. The logic in
analyzeLoop is that if dependence checking fails due to non-constant
distance between the pointers, another attempt is made to prove safety
of the dependences purely using run-time checks.
Before this patch we could fail the loop due to exceeding the memcheck
threshold after the first step, now we only check the threshold in the
client after the full analysis. There is no measurable compile-time
effect but I wanted to record this here.

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

This is a function pass that runs the analysis on demand. The analysis
can be initiated by querying the loop access info via LAA::getInfo. It
either returns the cached info or runs the analysis.
Symbolic stride information continues to reside outside of this analysis
pass. We may move it inside later but it's not a priority for me right
now. The idea is that Loop Distribution won't support run-time stride
checking at least initially.
This means that when querying the analysis, symbolic stride information
can be provided optionally. Whether stride information is used can
invalidate the cache entry and rerun the analysis. Note that if the
loop does not have any symbolic stride, the entry should be preserved
across Loop Distribution and LV.
Since currently the only user of the pass is LV, I just check that the
symbolic stride information didn't change when using a cached result.
On the LV side, LoopVectorizationLegality requests the info object
corresponding to the loop from the analysis pass. A large chunk of the

LLVM's include tree and the use of using declarations to hide the
'legacy' namespace for the old pass manager.
This undoes the primary modules-hostile change I made to keep
out-of-tree targets building. I sent an email inquiring about whether
this would be reasonable to do at this phase and people seemed fine with
it, so making it a reality. This should allow us to start bootstrapping
with modules to a certain extent along with making it easier to mix and
match headers in general.
The updates to any code for users of LLVM are very mechanical. Switch
from including "llvm/PassManager.h" to "llvm/IR/LegacyPassManager.h".
Qualify the types which now produce compile errors with "legacy::". The
most common ones are "PassManager", "PassManagerBase", and
"FunctionPassManager".
llvm-svn: 229094
Apparently some code finally started to tickle this after my
canonicalization changes to instcombine.
The bug stems from trying to form a vector type out of scalars that
aren't compatible at all. In this example, from x86_mmx values. The code
in the vectorizer that checks for reasonable types whas checking for
aggregates or vectors, but there are lots of other types that should
just never reach the vectorizer.
Debugging this was made more confusing by the lie in an assert in
VectorType::get() -- it isn't that the types are *primitive*. The types
must be integer, pointer, or floating point types. No other types are
allowed.
I've improved the assert and added a helper to the vectorizer to handle
the element type validity checks. It now re-uses the VectorType static
function and then further excludes weird target-specific types that we
probably shouldn't be touching here (x86_fp80 and ppc_fp128). Neither of
these are really reachable anyways (neither 80-bit nor 128-bit things
will get vectorized) but it seems better to just eagerly exclude such
nonesense.
I've added a test case, but while it definitely covers two of the paths
through this code there may be more paths that would benefit from test
coverage. I'm not familiar enough with the SLP vectorizer to synthesize
test cases for all of these, but was able to update the code itself by
inspection.

The commit r225977 uncovered this bug. The problem was that the vectorizer tried to

No functionality changed. This just threads the argument and ensures
code like the inliner can correctly look up the callee's TTI rather than
using a fixed one.
The next change will use this to implement per-function subtarget usage

type erased interface and a single analysis pass rather than an
extremely complex analysis group.
The end result is that the TTI analysis can contain a type erased
implementation that supports the polymorphic TTI interface. We can build
one from a target-specific implementation or from a dummy one in the IR.
I've also factored all of the code into "mix-in"-able base classes,
including CRTP base classes to facilitate calling back up to the most
specialized form when delegating horizontally across the surface. These
aren't as clean as I would like and I'm planning to work on cleaning
some of this up, but I wanted to start by putting into the right form.
There are a number of reasons for this change, and this particular
design. The first and foremost reason is that an analysis group is
complete overkill, and the chaining delegation strategy was so opaque,
confusing, and high overhead that TTI was suffering greatly for it.
Several of the TTI functions had failed to be implemented in all places
because of the chaining-based delegation making there be no checking of
this. A few other functions were implemented with incorrect delegation.
The message to me was very clear working on this -- the delegation and
analysis group structure was too confusing to be useful here.
The other reason of course is that this is *much* more natural fit for
the new pass manager. This will lay the ground work for a type-erased
per-function info object that can look up the correct subtarget and even
cache it.
Yet another benefit is that this will significantly simplify the
interaction of the pass managers and the TargetMachine. See the future
work below.
The downside of this change is that it is very, very verbose. I'm going
to work to improve that, but it is somewhat an implementation necessity
in C++ to do type erasure. =/ I discussed this design really extensively
with Eric and Hal prior to going down this path, and afterward showed
them the result. No one was really thrilled with it, but there doesn't
seem to be a substantially better alternative. Using a base class and
virtual method dispatch would make the code much shorter, but as
discussed in the update to the programmer's manual and elsewhere,
a polymorphic interface feels like the more principled approach even if
this is perhaps the least compelling example of it. ;]
Ultimately, there is still a lot more to be done here, but this was the
huge chunk that I couldn't really split things out of because this was
the interface change to TTI. I've tried to minimize all the other parts
of this. The follow up work should include at least:
1) Improving the TargetMachine interface by having it directly return
a TTI object. Because we have a non-pass object with value semantics
and an internal type erasure mechanism, we can narrow the interface
of the TargetMachine to *just* do what we need: build and return
a TTI object that we can then insert into the pass pipeline.
2) Make the TTI object be fully specialized for a particular function.
This will include splitting off a minimal form of it which is
sufficient for the inliner and the old pass manager.
3) Add a new pass manager analysis which produces TTI objects from the
target machine for each function. This may actually be done as part
of #2 in order to use the new analysis to implement #2.
4) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and the targets so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to type erase.
5) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and its clients so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to forward.
6) Try to improve the CRTP-based delegation. I feel like this code is
just a bit messy and exacerbating the complexity of implementing
the TTI in each target.
Many thanks to Eric and Hal for their help here. I ended up blocked on
this somewhat more abruptly than I expected, and so I appreciate getting
it sorted out very quickly.

The pass is really just a means of accessing a cached instance of the
TargetLibraryInfo object, and this way we can re-use that object for the
new pass manager as its result.
Lots of delta, but nothing interesting happening here. This is the
common pattern that is developing to allow analyses to live in both the
old and new pass manager -- a wrapper pass in the old pass manager
emulates the separation intrinsic to the new pass manager between the
result and pass for analyses.

The algorithm tries to collect memory access candidates from AliasSetTracker, and then check memory dependences one another. The memory accesses are unique in AliasSetTracker, and a single memory access in AliasSetTracker may map to multiple entries in AccessAnalysis, which could cover both 'read' and 'write'. Originally the algorithm only checked 'write' entry in Accesses if only 'write' exists. This is incorrect and the consequence is it ignored all read access, and finally some RAW and WAR dependence are missed.
For the case given above, if we ignore two reads, the dependence between (1) and (3) would not be able to be captured, and finally this loop will be incorrectly vectorized.
The fix simply inserts a new loop to find all entries in Accesses. Since it will skip most of all other memory accesses by checking the Value pointer at the very beginning of the loop, it should not increase compile-time visibly.

a cache of assumptions for a single function, and an immutable pass that
manages those caches.
The motivation for this change is two fold. Immutable analyses are
really hacks around the current pass manager design and don't exist in
the new design. This is usually OK, but it requires that the core logic
of an immutable pass be reasonably partitioned off from the pass logic.
This change does precisely that. As a consequence it also paves the way
for the *many* utility functions that deal in the assumptions to live in
both pass manager worlds by creating an separate non-pass object with
its own independent API that they all rely on. Now, the only bits of the
system that deal with the actual pass mechanics are those that actually
need to deal with the pass mechanics.
Once this separation is made, several simplifications become pretty
obvious in the assumption cache itself. Rather than using a set and
callback value handles, it can just be a vector of weak value handles.
The callers can easily skip the handles that are null, and eventually we
can wrap all of this up behind a filter iterator.
For now, this adds boiler plate to the various passes, but this kind of
boiler plate will end up making it possible to port these passes to the
new pass manager, and so it will end up factored away pretty reasonably.

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

The SLP vectorizer should not vectorize ephemeral values. These are used to
express information to the optimizer, and vectorizing them does not lead to
faster code (because the ephemeral values are dropped prior to code generation,
vectorized or not), and obscures the information the instructions are
attempting to communicate (the logic that interprets the arguments to
@llvm.assume generically does not understand vectorized conditions).
Also, uses by ephemeral values are free (because they, and the necessary
extractelement instructions, will be dropped prior to code generation).
llvm-svn: 219816
A few minor changes to prevent @llvm.assume from interfering with loop
vectorization. First, treat @llvm.assume like the lifetime intrinsics, which
are scalarized (but don't otherwise interfere with the legality checking).
Second, ignore the cost of ephemeral instructions in the loop (these will go
away anyway during CodeGen).
Alignment assumptions and other uses of @llvm.assume can often end up inside of
loops that should be vectorized (this is not uncommon for assumptions generated
by __attribute__((align_value(n))), for example).

routines and fix all of the bugs they expose.
I hit a test case that crashed even without these asserts due to passing
a non-exiting latch to the ExitingBlock parameter of the trip count
computation machinery. However, when I add the nice asserts, it turns
out we have plenty of coverage of these bugs, they just didn't manifest
in crashers.
The core problem seems to stem from an assumption that the latch *is*
the exiting block. While this is often true, and somewhat the "normal"
way to think about loops, it isn't necessarily true. The correct way to
call the trip count routines in a *generic* fashion (that is, without
a particular exit in mind) is to just use the loop's single exiting
block if it has one. The trip count can't be computed generically unless
it does. This works great for the loop vectorizer. The loop unroller
actually *wants* to select the latch when it has to chose between
multiple exits because for unrolling it is the latch trips that matter.
But if this is the desire, it needs to explicitly guard for non-exiting
latches and check for the generic trip count in that case.
I've added the asserts, and added convenience APIs for querying the trip
count generically that check for a single exit block. I've kept the APIs
consistent between computing trip count and trip multiples.
Thansk to Mark for the help debugging and tracking down the *right* fix
here!

The SLP vectorizer should propagate IR-level optimization hints/flags (nsw, nuw, exact, fast-math)
when converting scalar instructions into vectors. But this isn't a simple copy - we need to take
the intersection (the logical 'and') of the sets of flags on the scalars.
The solution is further complicated because we can have non-uniform (non-SIMD) vector ops after:

Previously, the hint mechanism relied on clean up passes to remove redundant

This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this
feature are:
1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining
2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers
Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary
infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality,
only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function
parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit.
What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access
sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA
nodes:
!scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" }
!scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 }
!scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 }
!scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 }
!scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 }
Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a
noalias tag for a specific scope:
... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }
When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with
the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the
noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory
accesses are assumed not to alias.
Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can
be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced
by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers.
[Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need
to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global
unnamed metadata.]
Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code.
This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site
(because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For
example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets
inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } --
now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site,
and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining
these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2.
llvm-svn: 213864
In order to enable the preservation of noalias function parameter information
after inlining, and the representation of block-level __restrict__ pointer
information (etc.), additional kinds of aliasing metadata will be introduced.
This metadata needs to be carried around in AliasAnalysis::Location objects
(and MMOs at the SDAG level), and so we need to generalize the current scheme
(which is hard-coded to just one TBAA MDNode*).
This commit introduces only the necessary refactoring to allow for the
introduction of other aliasing metadata types, but does not actually introduce
any (that will come in a follow-up commit). What it does introduce is a new
AAMDNodes structure to hold all of the aliasing metadata nodes associated with
a particular memory-accessing instruction, and uses that structure instead of
the raw MDNode* in AliasAnalysis::Location, etc.

Prior to this change, the loop vectorizer did not make use of the alias
analysis infrastructure. Instead, it performed memory dependence analysis using
ScalarEvolution-based linear dependence checks within equivalence classes
derived from the results of ValueTracking's GetUnderlyingObjects.
Unfortunately, this meant that:
1. The loop vectorizer had logic that essentially duplicated that in BasicAA
for aliasing based on identified objects.
2. The loop vectorizer could not partition the space of dependency checks
based on information only easily available from within AA (TBAA metadata is
currently the prime example).
This means, for example, regardless of whether -fno-strict-aliasing was
provided, the vectorizer would only vectorize this loop with a runtime
memory-overlap check:
void foo(int *a, float *b) {
for (int i = 0; i < 1600; ++i)
a[i] = b[i];
}
This is suboptimal because the TBAA metadata already provides the information
necessary to show that this check unnecessary. Of course, the vectorizer has a
limit on the number of such checks it will insert, so in practice, ignoring
TBAA means not vectorizing more-complicated loops that we should.
This change causes the vectorizer to use an AliasSetTracker to keep track of
the pointers in the loop. The resulting alias sets are then used to partition
the space of dependency checks, and potential runtime checks; this results in
more-efficient vectorizations.
When pointer locations are added to the AliasSetTracker, two things are done:
1. The location size is set to UnknownSize (otherwise you'd not catch
inter-iteration dependencies)
2. For instructions in blocks that would need to be predicated, TBAA is
removed (because the metadata might have a control dependency on the condition
being speculated).
For non-predicated blocks, you can leave the TBAA metadata. This is safe
because you can't have an iteration dependency on the TBAA metadata (if you
did, and you unrolled sufficiently, you'd end up with the same pointer value
used by two accesses that TBAA says should not alias, and that would yield
undefined behavior).

IRBuilder has CreateAligned(Load|Store) functions; use them and we don't need
to make a second call to setAlignment.

There are some kinds of metadata that are safe to propagate from the scalar
instructions to the vector instructions (fpmath and tbaa currently).
Regarding TBAA, one might worry about propagating it on if-converted loads and
stores, because the metadata might have had a control dependency on the
condition, and thus actually aliased with some other non-speculated memory
access when the condition was false. However, this would be caught by the
runtime overlap checks.

This patch modifies the existing DiagnosticInfo system to create a generic base
class that is inherited to produce diagnostic-based warnings. This is used by
the loop vectorizer to trigger a warning when vectorization is forced and
fails. Several tests have been added to verify this behavior.

string_ostream is a safe and efficient string builder that combines opaque
stack storage with a built-in ostream interface.
small_string_ostream<bytes> additionally permits an explicit stack storage size
other than the default 128 bytes to be provided. Beyond that, storage is
transferred to the heap.
This convenient class can be used in most places an
std::string+raw_string_ostream pair or SmallString<>+raw_svector_ostream pair
would previously have been used, in order to guarantee consistent access
without byte truncation.
The patch also converts much of LLVM to use the new facility. These changes
include several probable bug fixes for truncated output, a programming error
that's no longer possible with the new interface.
