dfukalov 6e967834b9 [AA] Cache (optionally) estimated PartialAlias offsets.
For the cases of two clobbering loads and one loaded object is fully contained
in the second `BasicAAResult::aliasGEP` returns just `PartialAlias` that
is actually more common case of partial overlap, it doesn't say anything about
actual overlapping sizes.

AA users such as GVN and DSE have no functionality to estimate aliasing of GEPs
with non-constant offsets. The change stores estimated relative offsets so they
can be used further.

Nikita Popov 191e469ede [AA] Move Depth member from AAResults to AAQI (NFC)
Rather than storing the query depth in AAResults, store it in AAQI.
This makes more sense, as it is a property of the query. This
sidesteps the issue of D94363, fixing slightly inaccurate AA
statistics. Additionally, I plan to use the Depth from BasicAA in
the future, where fetching it from AAResults would be unreliable.

This change is not quite as straightforward as it seems, because
we need to preserve the depth when creating a new AAQI for recursive
queries across phis. I'm adding a new method for this, as we may
need to preserve additional information here in the future.

Bjorn Pettersson 675be65106 Require chained analyses in BasicAA and AAResults to be transitive
This patch fixes a bug that could result in miscompiles (at least
in an OOT target). The problem could be seen by adding checks that
the DominatorTree used in BasicAliasAnalysis and ValueTracking was
valid (e.g. by adding DT->verify() call before every DT dereference
and then running all tests in test/CodeGen).

Problem was that the LegacyPassManager calculated "last user"
incorrectly for passes such as the DominatorTree when not telling
the pass manager that there was a transitive dependency between
the different analyses. And then it could happen that an incorrect
dominator tree was used when doing alias analysis (which was a pretty
serious bug as the alias analysis result could be invalid).

Nikita Popov 82bd64fff6 [AA] byval argument is identified function local
byval arguments should mostly get the same treatment as noalias
arguments in alias analysis. This was not the case for the
isIdentifiedFunctionLocal() function.

Marking byval arguments as identified function local means that
they cannot alias with other arguments, which I believe is correct.

Reid Kleckner 0c2b09a9b6 [IR] Lazily number instructions for local dominance queries
Essentially, fold OrderedBasicBlock into BasicBlock, and make it
auto-invalidate the instruction ordering when new instructions are
added. Notably, we don't need to invalidate it when removing
instructions, which is helpful when a pass mostly delete dead
instructions rather than transforming them.

The downside is that Instruction grows from 56 bytes to 64 bytes.  The
resulting LLVM code is substantially simpler and automatically handles
invalidation, which makes me think that this is the right speed and size
tradeoff.

The important change is in SymbolTableTraitsImpl.h, where the numbering
is invalidated. Everything else should be straightforward.

We probably want to implement a fancier re-numbering scheme so that
local updates don't invalidate the ordering, but I plan for that to be
future work, maybe for someone else.

Neil Henning 103a58c8f2 Add ExternalAAWrapperPass to createLegacyPMAAResults.
Our out-of-tree custom aliasing solution for the HPC# Burst compiler
here at Unity makes use of the `ExternalAAwrapperPass` infrastructure to
insert our custom aliasing resolution into the core of LLVM. This is
great for all cases except for function inlining, where because
`createLegacyPMAAResults` does not make use of `ExternalAAWrapperPass`,
when we have a definite no-alias result within a function it won't be
propagated to the calling function during inlining.

This commit just rectifies this oversight by adding the missing
dependency.

Teresa Johnson 9c27b59cec Change TargetLibraryInfo analysis passes to always require Function
Summary:
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.

Alina Sbirlea bfc779e491 [AliasAnalysis] Second prototype to cache BasicAA / anyAA state.
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.

Chandler Carruth 363ac68374 [CallSite removal] Migrate all Alias Analysis APIs to use the newly
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.

Thanks for the review from Saleem!

* Only some small changes to make custom AA passes set ModRefInfo::Must (BasicAA).
* GlobalsModRef already declares a bit, who's meaning overlaps with the most significant bit in ModRefInfo (MayReadAnyGlobal). No changes to shift the value of MayReadAnyGlobal (see AlignedMap). FunctionInfo.getModRef() ajusts most significant bit so correctness is preserved, but the Must info is lost.
* There are cases where the ModRefInfo::Must is not set, e.g. 2 calls that only read will return ModRefInfo::NoModRef, though they may read from exactly the same location.

Daniel Berlin d952ceae2f AliasAnalysis: Be less conservative about volatile than atomic.
Summary:
getModRefInfo is meant to answer the question "what impact does this
instruction have on a given memory location" (not even another
instruction).

Long debate on this on IRC comes to the conclusion the answer should be "nothing special".

That is, a noalias volatile store does not affect a memory location
just by being volatile.  Note: DSE and GVN and memdep currently
believe this, because memdep just goes behind AA's back after it says
"modref" right now.

see line 635 of memdep. Prior to this patch we would get modref there, then check aliasing,
and if it said noalias, we would continue.

getModRefInfo *already* has this same AA check, it just wasn't being used because volatile was
lumped in with ordering.

(I am separately testing whether this code in memdep is now dead except for the invariant load case)

Chandler Carruth 17c630a09c [PM] Teach the AAManager and AAResults layer (the worst offender for
inter-analysis dependencies) to use the new invalidation infrastructure.

This teaches it to invalidate itself when any of the peer function
AA results that it uses become invalid. We do this by just tracking the
originating IDs. I've kept it in a somewhat clunky API since some users
of AAResults are outside the new PM right now. We can clean this API up
if/when those users go away.

Secondly, it uses the registration on the outer analysis manager proxy
to trigger deferred invalidation when a module analysis result becomes
invalid.

I've included test cases that specifically try to trigger use-after-free
in both of these cases and they would crash or hang pretty horribly for
me even without ASan. Now they work nicely.

The `InvalidateAnalysis` utility pass required some tweaking to be
useful in this context and it still is pretty garbage. I'd like to
switch it back to the previous implementation and teach the explicit
invalidate method on the AnalysisManager to take care of correctly
triggering indirect invalidation, but I wanted to go ahead and send this
out so folks could see how all of this stuff works together in practice.
And, you know, that it does actually work. =]

Chandler Carruth dab4eae274 [PM] Change the static object whose address is used to uniquely identify
analyses to have a common type which is enforced rather than using
a char object and a `void *` type when used as an identifier.

This has a number of advantages. First, it at least helps some of the
confusion raised in Justin Lebar's code review of why `void *` was being
used everywhere by having a stronger type that connects to documentation
about this.

However, perhaps more importantly, it addresses a serious issue where
the alignment of these pointer-like identifiers was unknown. This made
it hard to use them in pointer-like data structures. We were already
dodging this in dangerous ways to create the "all analyses" entry. In
a subsequent patch I attempted to use these with TinyPtrVector and
things fell apart in a very bad way.

And it isn't just a compile time or type system issue. Worse than that,
the actual alignment of these pointer-like opaque identifiers wasn't
guaranteed to be a useful alignment as they were just characters.

This change introduces a type to use as the "key" object whose address
forms the opaque identifier. This both forces the objects to have proper
alignment, and provides type checking that we get it right everywhere.
It also makes the types somewhat less mysterious than `void *`.

We could go one step further and introduce a truly opaque pointer-like
type to return from the `ID()` static function rather than returning
`AnalysisKey *`, but that didn't seem to be a clear win so this is just
the initial change to get to a reliably typed and aligned object serving
is a key for all the analyses.

Thanks to Richard Smith and Justin Lebar for helping pick plausible
names and avoid making this refactoring many times. =] And thanks to
Sean for the super fast review!

While here, I've tried to move away from the "PassID" nomenclature
entirely as it wasn't really helping and is overloaded with old pass
manager constructs. Now we have IDs for analyses, and key objects whose
address can be used as IDs. Where possible and clear I've shortened this
to just "ID". In a few places I kept "AnalysisID" to make it clear what
was being identified.

David Majnemer a940f360cb [AliasAnalysis] Give back AA results for fence instructions
Calling getModRefInfo with a fence resulted in crashes because fences
don't have a memory location.  Add a new predicate to Instruction
called isFenceLike which indicates that the instruction mutates memory
but not any single memory location in particular. In practice, it is a
proxy for the set of instructions which "mayWriteToMemory" but cannot be
used with MemoryLocation::get.

This fixes PR28570.

Nicolai Haehnle 9343f36f8e AliasAnalysis: unify getModRefInfo(I, CS) semantics with other overloads
This subtle change to getModRefInfo(Instruction, ImmutableCallSite) is to
ensure that the semantics are equal to that of getModRefInfo(CS1, CS2) when
the Instruction is a call-site.

This is now more in line with getModRefInfo generally: it returns Mod when
I modifies a memory location that is accessed (read or written) by CS and
Ref when I reads a memory location that is written by CS.

From a grep of the code, the only uses of this particular getModRefInfo
overload are in MemorySSA and MemCpyOptimizer, and they only care about
where the result is MR_NoModRef or not. Therefore, this change should have
no visible effect.

Separated out from D17279 upon request.

George Burgess IV bfa401e5ad [CFLAA] Split into Anders+Steens analysis.
StratifiedSets (as implemented) is very fast, but its accuracy is also
limited. If we take a more aggressive andersens-like approach, we can be
way more accurate, but we'll also end up being slower.

So, we've decided to split CFLAA into CFLSteensAA and CFLAndersAA.

Long-term, we want to end up in a place where CFLSteens is queried
first; if it can provide an answer, great (since queries are basically
map lookups). Otherwise, we'll fall back to CFLAnders, BasicAA, etc.

This patch splits everything out so we can try to do something like
that when we get a reasonable CFLAnders implementation.

Patch by Jia Chen.
