Summary:
In D65186 and related patches, MustBeExecutedContextExplorer is introduced. This enables us to traverse instructions guaranteed to execute from function entry. If we can know the argument is used as `dereferenceable` or `nonnull` in these instructions, we can mark `dereferenceable` or `nonnull` in the argument definition:
1. Memory instruction (similar to D64258)
Trace memory instruction pointer operand. Currently, only inbounds GEPs are traced.
```
define i64* @f(i64* %a) {
entry:
%add.ptr = getelementptr inbounds i64, i64* %a, i64 1
; (because of inbounds GEP we can know that %a is at least dereferenceable(16))
store i64 1, i64* %add.ptr, align 8
ret i64* %add.ptr ; dereferenceable 8 (because above instruction stores into it)
}
```
2. Propagation from callsite (similar to D27855)
If `deref` or `nonnull` are known in call site parameter attributes we can also say that argument also that attribute.
```
declare void @use3(i8* %x, i8* %y, i8* %z);
declare void @use3nonnull(i8* nonnull %x, i8* nonnull %y, i8* nonnull %z);
define void @parent1(i8* %a, i8* %b, i8* %c) {
call void @use3nonnull(i8* %b, i8* %c, i8* %a)
; Above instruction is always executed so we can say that@parent1(i8* nonnnull %a, i8* nonnull %b, i8* nonnull %c)
call void @use3(i8* %c, i8* %a, i8* %b)
ret void
}
```

This patch adds a function attribute, nofree, to indicate that a function does
not, directly or indirectly, call a memory-deallocation function (e.g., free,
C++'s operator delete).

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

Summary:
Right now, when we encounter a string equality check,
e.g. `if (memcmp(a, b, s) == 0)`, we try to expand to a comparison if `s` is a
small compile-time constant, and fall back on calling `memcmp()` else.
This is sub-optimal because memcmp has to compute much more than
equality.
This patch replaces `memcmp(a, b, s) == 0` by `bcmp(a, b, s) == 0` on platforms
that support `bcmp`.
`bcmp` can be made much more efficient than `memcmp` because equality
compare is trivially parallel while lexicographic ordering has a chain
dependency.

Summary: debug intrinsics might be marked norecurse to enable the caller function to be norecurse and optimized if needed. This avoids code gen optimisation differences when -g is used, as in globalOpt.cpp:processInternalGlobal checks.

Patch by Sunita Marathe
Third try, now following fixes to MSan to handle mempcy in such a way that this commit won't break the MSan buildbots. (Thanks, Evegenii!)

There was a typo in r267758. It caused invalid accesses when
given something like "void @free(...)", as NumParams == 0, and
we then try to look at the 0th parameter.
Turns out, most of these were untested; add both attribute
and missing-prototype checks for all libc libfuncs.

This patch simply mirrors the attributes we give to @llvm.nvvm.reflect
to the __nvvm_reflect libdevice call. This shaves about 30% of the code
in libdevice away because of CSE opportunities. It's also helps us
figure out that libdevice implementations of transcendental functions
don't have side-effects.

Most of the properties of memset_pattern16 can be now covered by the generic attributes and inferred by InferFunctionAttrs. The only exceptions are:
- We don't yet have a writeonly attribute for the first argument.
- We don't have an attribute for modeling the access size facts encoded in MemoryLocation.cpp.

This patch removes the isOperatorNewLike predicate since it was only being used to establish a non-null return value and we have attributes specifically for that purpose with generic handling. To keep approximate the same behaviour for existing frontends, I added the various operator new like (i.e. instances of operator new) to InferFunctionAttrs. It's not really clear to me why this isn't handled in Clang, but I didn't want to break existing code and any subtle assumptions it might have.
Once this patch is in, I'm going to start separating the isAllocLike family of predicates. These appear to be being used for a mixture of things which should be more clearly separated and documented. Today, they're being used to indicate (at least) aliasing facts, CSE-ability, and default values from an allocation site.

a standalone pass.
There is no call graph or even interesting analysis for this part of
function attributes -- it is literally inferring attributes based on the
target library identification. As such, we can do it using a much
simpler module pass that just walks the declarations. This can also
happen much earlier in the pass pipeline which has benefits for any
number of other passes.
In the process, I've cleaned up one particular aspect of the logic which
was necessary in order to separate the two passes cleanly. It now counts
inferred attributes independently rather than just counting all the
inferred attributes as one, and the counts are more clearly explained.
The two test cases we had for this code path are both ... woefully
inadequate and copies of each other. I've kept the superset test and
updated it. We need more testing here, but I had to pick somewhere to
stop fixing everything broken I saw here.
