First, don't combine bit masking into vector shuffles (even ones the
target can handle) once operation legalization has taken place. Custom
legalization of vector shuffles may exist for these patterns (making the
predicate return true) but that custom legalization may in some cases
produce the exact bit math this matches. We only really want to handle
this prior to operation legalization.
However, the x86 backend, in a fit of awesome, relied on this. What it
would do is mark VSELECTs as expand, which would turn them into
arithmetic, which this would then match back into vector shuffles, which
we would then lower properly. Amazing.
Instead, the second change is to teach the x86 backend to directly form
vector shuffles from VSELECT nodes with constant conditions, and to mark
all of the vector types we support lowering blends as shuffles as custom
VSELECT lowering. We still mark the forms which actually support
variable blends as *legal* so that the custom lowering is bypassed, and
the legal lowering can even be used by the vector shuffle legalization
(yes, i know, this is confusing. but that's how the patterns are
written).
This makes the VSELECT lowering much more sensible, and in fact should
fix a bunch of bugs with it. However, as you'll see in the test cases,
right now what it does is point out the *hilarious* deficiency of the
new vector shuffle lowering when it comes to blends. Fortunately, my
very next patch fixes that. I can't submit it yet, because that patch,
somewhat obviously, forms the exact and/or pattern that the DAG combine
is matching here! Without this patch, teaching the vector shuffle
lowering to produce the right code infloops in the DAG combiner. With
this patch alone, we produce terrible code but at least lower through
the right paths. With both patches, all the regressions here should be
fixed, and a bunch of the improvements (like using 2 shufps with no
memory loads instead of 2 andps with memory loads and an orps) will
stay. Win!
There is one other change worth noting here. We had hilariously wrong
vectorization cost estimates for vselect because we fell through to the
code path that assumed all "expand" vector operations are scalarized.
However, the "expand" lowering of VSELECT is vector bit math, most
definitely not scalarized. So now we go back to the correct if horribly
naive cost of "1" for "not scalarized". If anyone wants to add actual
modeling of shuffle costs, that would be cool, but this seems an
improvement on its own. Note the removal of 16 and 32 "costs" for doing
a blend. Even in SSE2 we can blend in fewer than 16 instructions. ;] Of
course, we don't right now because of OMG bad code, but I'm going to fix
that. Next patch. I promise.

different fields.
We can show that two GEPs off of the same (possibly multidimensional)
array of structs, into different fields, can't alias. Quoting:
For two GEPOperators GEP1 and GEP2, if we find that:
- both GEPs begin indexing from the exact same pointer;
- the last indices in both GEPs are constants, indexing into a struct;
- said indices are different, hence,the pointed-to fields are different;
- and both GEPs only index through arrays prior to that;
this lets us determine that the struct that GEP1 indexes into and the
struct that GEP2 indexes into must either precisely overlap or be
completely disjoint. Because they cannot partially overlap, indexing
into different non-overlapping fields of the struct will never alias.
The other BasicAA::aliasGEP rules worked in some cases, but not all
(for example, the i32x3 struct in the testcase).
We can add this simple ad-hoc rule to complement them.

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.

I had already factored this analysis specifically to enable doing this,

This analysis didn't have any direct tests and so I've added a printer

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}

Summary:
Several places in DependenceAnalysis assumes both SCEVs in a subscript pair
share the same integer type. For instance, isKnownPredicate calls
SE->getMinusSCEV(X, Y) which asserts X and Y share the same type. However,

pair, causing tests such as NonCanonicalizedSubscript to crash. With this
patch, DependenceAnalysis runs unifySubscriptType before producing any
subscript pair, ensuring the assumption.
Test Plan:
Added NonCanonicalizedSubscript.ll on which DependenceAnalysis before the fix
crashed because subscripts have different types.

Let's try this again...
This reverts r219432, plus a bug fix.
Description of the bug in r219432 (by Nick):
The bug was using AllPositive to break out of the loop; if the loop break
condition i != e is changed to i != e && AllPositive then the
test_modulo_analysis_with_global test I've added will fail as the Modulo will
be calculated incorrectly (as the last loop iteration is skipped, so Modulo
isn't updated with its Scale).
Nick also adds this comment:
ComputeSignBit is safe to use in loops as it takes into account phi nodes, and
the == EK_ZeroEx check is safe in loops as, no matter how the variable changes
between iterations, zero-extensions will always guarantee a zero sign bit. The
isValueEqualInPotentialCycles check is therefore definitely not needed as all
the variable analysis holds no matter how the variables change between loop
iterations.
And this patch also adds another enhancement to GetLinearExpression - basically
to convert ConstantInts to Offsets (see test_const_eval and
test_const_eval_scaled for the situations this improves).

ignoring that %idxprom is scaled by -1 here lead the patch to incorrectly

DSE's overlap checking contained special logic, used only when no DataLayout

Philosophically, transformations should not contain enhanced behavior used only

Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional

wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.

declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect
and pretty-print DIExpression metadata nodes.
What this patch doesn't do:
This patch does not touch the "Indirect" field in DIVariable; but moving
that into the expression would be a natural next step.

Two related things:
1. Fixes a bug when calculating the offset in GetLinearExpression. The code
previously used zext to extend the offset, so negative offsets were converted
to large positive ones.
2. Enhance aliasGEP to deduce that, if the difference between two GEP
allocations is positive and all the variables that govern the offset are also
positive (i.e. the offset is strictly after the higher base pointer), then
locations that fit in the gap between the two base pointers are NoAlias.
