Summary:
If the only use of a value is a start or end lifetime intrinsic then mark the intrinsic as trivially dead. This should allow for that value to then be removed as well.
Currently, this only works for allocas, globals, and arguments.

Using the existing NumFastStores statistic can be misleading when
comparing the impact of DSE patches.
For example, consider the case where a store gets removed from a
function before it is inlined into another function. A less
powerful DSE might only remove the store from functions it has
been inlined into, which will result in more stores being removed, but
no difference in the actual number of stores after DSE.
The new stat provides the absolute number of stores surviving after
DSE.

Aligned_alloc is a standard lib function and has been in glibc since
2.16 and in the C11 standard. It has semantics similar to malloc/calloc
for several analyses/transforms. This patch introduces aligned_alloc
in target library info and memory builtins. Subsequent ones will
make other passes aware and fix https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44062
This change will also be useful to LLVM generators that need to allocate
buffers of vector elements larger than 16 bytes (for eg. 256-bit ones),
element boundary alignment for which is not typically provided by glibc malloc.

For MemoryPhis, we have to avoid that the MemoryPhi may be executed
before before the access we are currently looking at.
To do this we do a post-order numbering of the basic blocks in the
function and bail out once we reach a MemoryPhi with a larger (or equal)
post-order block number than the current MemoryAccess.
This changes the order in which we visit stores for elimination.
This patch also adds support for exploring multiple paths. We keep a worklist (ToCheck) of memory accesses that might be eliminated by our starting MemoryDef or MemoryPhis for further exploration. For MemoryPhis, we add the incoming values to the worklist, for MemoryDefs we add the defining access.

DSE would mistakenly remove store (2):
a = calloc(n+1)
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
store 1, a[i+1] // (1)
store 0, a[i] // (2)
}
The fix is to do PHI transaltion while looking for clobbering
instructions between the store and the calloc.

This reverts commit 74f03e4ff0.
This patch adds a first version of a MemorySSA based DSE. It is missing
a lot of features, which will get added as follow-ups, to help to keep
the review manageable.
The patch uses the following general approach: given a MemoryDef, walk
upwards to find clobbering MemoryDefs that may be killed by the
starting def. Then check that there are no uses that may read the
location of the original MemoryDef in between both MemoryDefs. A bit
more concretely:
For all MemoryDefs StartDef:
1. Get the next dominating clobbering MemoryDef (DomAccess) by walking upwards.
2. Check that there no reads between DomAccess and the StartDef by checking
all uses starting at DomAccess and walking until we see StartDef.
3. For each found DomDef, check that:
1. There are no barrier instructions between DomDef and StartDef (like
throws or stores with ordering constraints).
2. StartDef is executed whenever DomDef is executed.
3. StartDef completely overwrites DomDef.
4. Erase DomDef from the function and MemorySSA.
The patch uses a very simple approach to guarantee that no throwing
instructions are between 2 stores: We only allow accesses to stack
objects, access that are in the same basic block if the block does not
contain any throwing instructions or accesses in functions that do
not contain any throwing instructions. This will get lifted later.
Besides adding support for the missing cases, there is plenty of additional
potential for improvements as follow-up work, e.g. the way we visit stores
(could be just a traversal of the MemorySSA, rather than collecting them
up-front), using the alias information discovered during walking to optimize
the MemorySSA.
This is loosely based on D40480 by Dave Green.

The patch makes sure that the LastThrowing pointer does not point to any instruction deleted by call to DeleteDeadInstruction.
While iterating through the instructions the pass maintains a pointer to the lastThrowing Instruction. A call to deleteDeadInstruction deletes a dead store and other instructions feeding the original dead instruction which also become dead. The instruction pointed by the lastThrowing pointer could also be deleted by the call to DeleteDeadInstruction and thus it becomes a dangling pointer. Because of this, we see an error in the next iteration.
In the patch, we maintain a list of throwing instructions encountered previously and use the last non deleted throwing instruction from the container.

Summary:
The DeadStoreElimination pass now skips doing
PartialStoreMerging when stores overlap according to
OW_PartialEarlierWithFullLater and at least one of
the stores is having a store size that is different
from the size of the type being stored.
This solves problems seen in
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41949
for which we in the past could end up with
mis-compiles or assertions.
The content and location of the padding bits is not
formally described (or undefined) in the LangRef
at the moment. So the solution is chosen based on
that we cannot assume anything about the padding bits
when having a store that clobbers more memory than
indicated by the type of the value that is stored
(such as storing an i6 using an 8-bit store instruction).

IntrArgMemOnly implies that only memory pointed to by pointer typed arguments will be accessed. But these intrinsics allow you to pass null to the pointer argument and put the full address into the index argument. Other passes won't be able to understand this.
A colleague found that ISPC was creating gathers like this and then dead store elimination removed some stores because it didn't understand what the gather was doing since the pointer argument was null.

Salvaging a redundant load instruction into a debug expression hides a
memory read from optimisation passes. Passes that alter memory behaviour
(such as LICM promoting memory to a register) aren't aware of these debug
memory reads and leave them unaltered, making the debug variable location
point somewhere unsafe.
Teaching passes to know about these debug memory reads would be challenging
and probably incomplete. Finding dbg.value instructions that need to be fixed
would likely be computationally expensive too, as more analysis would be
required. It's better to not generate debug-memory-reads instead, alas.
Changed tests:
* DeadStoreElim: test for salvaging of intermediate operations contributing
to the dead store, instead of salvaging of the redundant load,
* GVN: remove debuginfo behaviour checks completely, this behaviour is still
covered by other tests,
* InstCombine: don't test for salvaged loads, we're removing that behaviour.

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.

Before this patch, debugify would insert debug value intrinsics before the
terminating instruction in a block. This had the advantage of being simple,
but was a bit too simple/unrealistic.
This patch teaches debugify to insert debug values immediately after their
operand defs. This enables better testing of the compiler.
For example, with this patch, `opt -debugify-each` is able to identify a
vectorizer DI-invariance bug fixed in llvm.org/PR32761. In this bug, the
vectorizer produced different output with/without debug info present.

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.
