Eli Friedman f26bdb539e Make Value::getPointerAlignment() return an Align, not a MaybeAlign.
If we don't know anything about the alignment of a pointer, Align(1) is
still correct: all pointers are at least 1-byte aligned.

Included in this patch is a bugfix for an issue discovered during this
cleanup: pointers with "dereferenceable" attributes/metadata were
assumed to be aligned according to the type of the pointer.  This
wasn't intentional, as far as I can tell, so Loads.cpp was fixed to
stop making this assumption. Frontends may need to be updated.  I
updated clang's handling of C++ references, and added a release note for
this.

Nikita Popov d86fff6ae7 [ValueTracking] Fix computeKnownBits() with bitwidth-changing ptrtoint
computeKnownBitsFromAssume() currently asserts if m_V matches a
ptrtoint that changes the bitwidth. Because InstCombine
canonicalizes ptrtoint instructions to use explicit zext/trunc,
we never ran into the issue in practice. I'm adding unit tests,
as I don't know if this can be triggered via IR anywhere.

Fix this by calling anyextOrTrunc(BitWidth) on the computed
KnownBits. Note that we are going from the KnownBits of the
ptrtoint result to the KnownBits of the ptrtoint operand,
so we need to truncate if the ptrtoint zexted and anyext if
the ptrtoint truncated.

Juneyoung Lee e5f602d82c [ValueTracking] Let propagatesPoison support binops/unaryops/cast/etc.
Summary:
This patch makes propagatesPoison be more accurate by returning true on
more bin ops/unary ops/casts/etc.

The changed test in ScalarEvolution/nsw.ll was introduced by
a19edc4d15 .
IIUC, the goal of the tests is to show that iv.inc's SCEV expression still has
no-overflow flags even if the loop isn't in the wanted form.
It becomes more accurate with this patch, so think this is okay.

Christopher Tetreault 782231ac79 [SVE] Fix invalid uses of VectorType::getNumElements() in ValueTracking
Summary:
Any function in this module that make use of DemandedElts laregely does
not work with scalable vectors. DemandedElts is used to define which
elements of the vector to look at. At best, for scalable vectors, we can
express the first N elements of the vector. However, in practice, most
code that uses these functions expect to be able to talk about the
entire vector. In principle, this module should be able to be extended
to work with scalable vectors. However, before we can do that, we should
ensure that it does not cause code with scalable vectors to miscompile.
All functions that use a DemandedElts will bail out if the vector is
scalable. Usages of getNumElements() are updated to go through
FixedVectorType pointers.

Juneyoung Lee aca335955c [ValueTracking] Let analyses assume a value cannot be partially poison
Summary:
This is RFC for fixes in poison-related functions of ValueTracking.
These functions assume that a value can be poison bitwisely, but the semantics
of bitwise poison is not clear at the moment.
Allowing a value to have bitwise poison adds complexity to reasoning about
correctness of optimizations.

This patch makes the analysis functions simply assume that a value is
either fully poison or not, which has been used to understand the correctness
of a few previous optimizations.
The bitwise poison semantics seems to be only used by these functions as well.

In terms of implementation, using value-wise poison concept makes existing
functions do more precise analysis, which is what this patch contains.

Eli Friedman 1ee6ec2bf3 Remove "mask" operand from shufflevector.
Instead, represent the mask as out-of-line data in the instruction. This
should be more efficient in the places that currently use
getShuffleVector(), and paves the way for further changes to add new
shuffles for scalable vectors.

This doesn't change the syntax in textual IR. And I don't currently plan
to change the bitcode encoding in this patch, although we'll probably
need to do something once we extend shufflevector for scalable types.

I expect that once this is finished, we can then replace the raw "mask"
with something more appropriate for scalable vectors.  Not sure exactly
what this looks like at the moment, but there are a few different ways
we could handle it.  Maybe we could try to describe specific shuffles.
Or maybe we could define it in terms of a function to convert a fixed-length
array into an appropriate scalable vector, using a "step", or something
like that.

Bjorn Pettersson d077d678d3 [ValueTracking] Avoid blind cast from Operator to Instruction
Summary:
Avoid blind cast from Operator to ExtractElementInst in
computeKnownBitsFromOperator. This resulted in some crashes
in downstream fuzzy testing. Instead we use getOperand directly
on the Operator when accessing the vector/index operands.

Haven't seen any problems with InsertElement and ShuffleVector,
but I believe those could be used in constant expressions as well.
So the same kind of fix as for ExtractElement was also applied for
InsertElement.

When it comes to ShuffleVector we now simply bail out if a dynamic
cast of the Operator to ShuffleVectorInst fails. I've got no
reproducer indicating problems for ShuffleVector, and a fix would be
slightly more complicated as getShuffleDemandedElts is involved.

This patch helps getGuaranteedNonFullPoisonOp handle llvm.assume call.
Also, a comment about the semantics of branch is removed to prevent confusion.
As llvm.assume does, branching on poison directly raises UB (as LangRef says), and this allows transformations such as introduction of llvm.assume on branch condition at each successor, or freely replacing values after conditional branch (such as at loop exit).
Handling br is not addressed in this patch. It makes SCEV more accurate, causing existing LoopVectorize/IndVar/etc tests to fail.

Summary:
This was a very odd API, where you had to pass a flag into a zext
function to say whether the extended bits really were zero or not. All
callers passed in a literal true or false.

I think it's much clearer to make the function name reflect the
operation being performed on the value we're tracking (rather than on
the KnownBits Zero and One fields), so zext means the value is being
zero extended and new function anyext means the value is being extended
with unknown bits.

This patch adds initial support for a DemandedElts mask to the internal computeKnownBits/ComputeNumSignBits methods, matching the SelectionDAG and GlobalISel equivalents.

So far only a couple of instructions have been setup to handle the DemandedElts, the remainder still using the existing 'all elements' default. The plan is to extend support as we have test coverage.

Nikita Popov efba7ed05e [PatternMatch] Make m_c_ICmp swap the predicate (PR42801)
This addresses https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42801.
The m_c_ICmp() matcher is changed to provide the swapped predicate
if the operands are swapped.

Existing uses of m_c_ICmp() fall in one of two categories: Working
on equality predicates only, where swapping is irrelevant.
Or performing a manual swap, in which case this patch removes it.

The only exception is the foldICmpWithLowBitMaskedVal() fold, which
does not swap the predicate, and instead reasons about whether
a swap occurred or not for each predicate. Getting the swapped
predicate allows us to merge the logic for pairs of predicates,
instead of duplicating it.

[ValueTracking] isKnownNonZero() should take non-null-ness assumptions into consideration (PR43267)
Summary:
It is pretty common to assume that something is not zero.
Even optimizer itself sometimes emits such assumptions
(e.g. `addAssumeNonNull()` in `PromoteMemoryToRegister.cpp`).

But we currently don't deal with such assumptions :)
The only way `isKnownNonZero()` handles assumptions is
by calling `computeKnownBits()` which calls `computeKnownBitsFromAssume()`.
But `x != 0` does not tell us anything about set bits,
it only says that there are *some* set bits.
So naturally, `KnownBits` does not get populated,
and we fail to make use of this assumption.

I propose to deal with this special case by special-casing it
via adding a `isKnownNonZeroFromAssume()` that returns boolean
when there is an applicable assumption.

While there, we also deal with other predicates,
mainly if the comparison is with constant.

Fixes [[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43267 | PR43267 ]].

[ValueTracking] isValidAssumeForContext(): CxtI itself also must transfer execution to successor
This is a pretty rare case, when CxtI and assume are
in the same basic block, with assume being located later.

We were already checking that assumption was guaranteed to be
executed, but we omitted CxtI itself from consideration,
and as the test (miscompile) shows, that is incorrect.

- Optimizes debug info size by saving 221.86 MB of obj file size in a
  Windows optimized+debug build of 'all'. This is 3.03% of 7,332.7MB of
  object file size.
- Incremental step towards decoupling target intrinsics.

The enums are still compact, so adding and removing a single
target-specific intrinsic will trigger a rebuild of all of LLVM.
Assigning distinct target id spaces is potential future work.

Johannes Doerfert 6ed459fd41 Use "willreturn" in isGuaranteedToTransferExecutionToSuccessor
The `willreturn` function attribute guarantees that a function call will
come back to the call site if the call is also known not to throw.
Therefore, this attribute can be used in
`isGuaranteedToTransferExecutionToSuccessor`.

Nikita Popov ad81d427ca [LangRef] Clarify poison semantics
I find the current documentation of poison somewhat confusing,
mainly because its use of "undefined behavior" doesn't seem to
align with our usual interpretation (of immediate UB). Especially
the sentence "any instruction that has a dependence on a poison
value has undefined behavior" is very confusing.

Clarify poison semantics by:

 * Replacing the introductory paragraph with the standard rationale
   for having poison values.
 * Spelling out that instructions depending on poison return poison.
 * Spelling out how we go from a poison value to immediate undefined
   behavior and give the two examples we currently use in ValueTracking.
 * Spelling out that side effects depending on poison are UB.

Philip Reames 038e01dc9a Add a clarifying comment about branching on poison
I recently got this wrong (again), and I'm sure I'm not the only one.  Put a comment in the logical place someone would look to "fix" the obvious "missed optimization" which arrises based on the common misunderstanding.  Hopefully, this will save others time.  :)
