r270777 improved the precision of alloca vs. inbounbds GEP alias queries: if
we have (a) an inbounds GEP and (b) a pointer based on an alloca, and the
beginning of the object the GEP points to would have a negative offset with
respect to the alloca, then the GEP can not alias pointer (b).
This makes the same logic fire when (b) is based on a GlobalVariable instead
of an alloca.

If a we have (a) a GEP and (b) a pointer based on an alloca, and the
beginning of the object the GEP points would have a negative offset with
repsect to the alloca, then the GEP can not alias pointer (b).
For example, consider code like:
struct { int f0, int f1, ...} foo;
...
foo alloca;
foo *random = bar(alloca);
int *f0 = &alloca.f0
int *f1 = &random->f1;
Which is lowered, approximately, to:
%alloca = alloca %struct.foo
%random = call %struct.foo* @random(%struct.foo* %alloca)
%f0 = getelementptr inbounds %struct, %struct.foo* %alloca, i32 0, i32 0
%f1 = getelementptr inbounds %struct, %struct.foo* %random, i32 0, i32 1
Assume %f1 and %f0 alias. Then %f1 would point into the object allocated
by %alloca. Since the %f1 GEP is inbounds, that means %random must also
point into the same object. But since %f0 points to the beginning of %alloca,
the highest %f1 can be is (%alloca + 3). This means %random can not be higher
than (%alloca - 1), and so is not inbounds, a contradiction.

Note, this was reviewed (and more details are in) http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151109/312083.html
These intrinsics currently have an explicit alignment argument which is
required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
source and dest, and so must be the minimum of those.
This change allows source and dest to each have their own alignments
by using the alignment attribute on their arguments. The alignment
argument itself is removed.
There are a few places in the code for which the code needs to be
checked by an expert as to whether using only src/dest alignment is
safe. For those places, they currently take the minimum of src/dest
alignments which matches the current behaviour.
For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 500, i32 8, i1 false)
will now read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 8 %dest, i8* align 8 %src, i32 500, i1 false)
For out of tree owners, I was able to strip alignment from calls using sed by replacing:
(call.*llvm\.memset.*)i32\ [0-9]*\,\ i1 false\)
with:
$1i1 false)
and similarly for memmove and memcpy.
I then added back in alignment to test cases which needed it.
A similar commit will be made to clang which actually has many differences in alignment as now
IRBuilder can generate different source/dest alignments on calls.
In IRBuilder itself, a new argument was added. Instead of calling:
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
you now call
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, SrcAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
There is a temporary class (IntegerAlignment) which takes the source alignment and rejects
implicit conversion from bool. This is to prevent isVolatile here from passing its default
parameter to the source alignment.
Note, changes in future can now be made to codegen. I didn't change anything here, but this
change should enable better memcpy code sequences.

with the new pass manager, and no longer relying on analysis groups.
This builds essentially a ground-up new AA infrastructure stack for
LLVM. The core ideas are the same that are used throughout the new pass
manager: type erased polymorphism and direct composition. The design is
as follows:
- FunctionAAResults is a type-erasing alias analysis results aggregation
interface to walk a single query across a range of results from
different alias analyses. Currently this is function-specific as we
always assume that aliasing queries are *within* a function.
- AAResultBase is a CRTP utility providing stub implementations of
various parts of the alias analysis result concept, notably in several
cases in terms of other more general parts of the interface. This can
be used to implement only a narrow part of the interface rather than
the entire interface. This isn't really ideal, this logic should be
hoisted into FunctionAAResults as currently it will cause
a significant amount of redundant work, but it faithfully models the
behavior of the prior infrastructure.
- All the alias analysis passes are ported to be wrapper passes for the
legacy PM and new-style analysis passes for the new PM with a shared
result object. In some cases (most notably CFL), this is an extremely
naive approach that we should revisit when we can specialize for the
new pass manager.
- BasicAA has been restructured to reflect that it is much more
fundamentally a function analysis because it uses dominator trees and
loop info that need to be constructed for each function.
All of the references to getting alias analysis results have been
updated to use the new aggregation interface. All the preservation and
other pass management code has been updated accordingly.
The way the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass works is to detect the
available alias analyses when run, and add them to the results object.
This means that we should be able to continue to respect when various
passes are added to the pipeline, for example adding CFL or adding TBAA
passes should just cause their results to be available and to get folded
into this. The exception to this rule is BasicAA which really needs to
be a function pass due to using dominator trees and loop info. As
a consequence, the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass directly depends on
BasicAA and always includes it in the aggregation.
This has significant implications for preserving analyses. Generally,
most passes shouldn't bother preserving FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass
because rebuilding the results just updates the set of known AA passes.
The exception to this rule are LoopPass instances which need to preserve
all the function analyses that the loop pass manager will end up
needing. This means preserving both BasicAAWrapperPass and the
aggregating FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass.
Now, when preserving an alias analysis, you do so by directly preserving
that analysis. This is only necessary for non-immutable-pass-provided
alias analyses though, and there are only three of interest: BasicAA,
GlobalsAA (formerly GlobalsModRef), and SCEVAA. Usually BasicAA is
preserved when needed because it (like DominatorTree and LoopInfo) is
marked as a CFG-only pass. I've expanded GlobalsAA into the preserved
set everywhere we previously were preserving all of AliasAnalysis, and
I've added SCEVAA in the intersection of that with where we preserve
SCEV itself.
One significant challenge to all of this is that the CGSCC passes were
actually using the alias analysis implementations by taking advantage of
a pretty amazing set of loop holes in the old pass manager's analysis
management code which allowed analysis groups to slide through in many
cases. Moving away from analysis groups makes this problem much more
obvious. To fix it, I've leveraged the flexibility the design of the new
PM components provides to just directly construct the relevant alias
analyses for the relevant functions in the IPO passes that need them.
This is a bit hacky, but should go away with the new pass manager, and
is already in many ways cleaner than the prior state.
Another significant challenge is that various facilities of the old
alias analysis infrastructure just don't fit any more. The most
significant of these is the alias analysis 'counter' pass. That pass
relied on the ability to snoop on AA queries at different points in the
analysis group chain. Instead, I'm planning to build printing
functionality directly into the aggregation layer. I've not included
that in this patch merely to keep it smaller.
Note that all of this needs a nearly complete rewrite of the AA
documentation. I'm planning to do that, but I'd like to make sure the
new design settles, and to flesh out a bit more of what it looks like in
the new pass manager first.

Hopefully this will end the GEPs saga!
This commit reverts r245394, i.e., it reapplies r221876 while incorporating the
fixes from D11847.
r221876 was not reapplied alone because it was not safe and D11847 was not
applied alone because it needs r221876 to produce correct results.
This should fix PR24596.
Original commit message for r221876:
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).
Original commit message:
This reverts r218944, which reverted r218714, plus a bug fix.
Description of the bug in r218714 (by Nick):
The original patch forgot to check if the Scale in VariableGEPIndex flipped the
sign of the variable. The BasicAA pass iterates over the instructions in the
order they appear in the function, and so BasicAliasAnalysis::aliasGEP is
called with the variable it first comes across as parameter GEP1. Adding a
%reorder label puts the definition of %a after %b so aliasGEP is called with %b
as the first parameter and %a as the second. aliasGEP later calculates that %a
== %b + 1 - %idxprom where %idxprom >= 0 (if %a was passed as the first
parameter it would calculate %b == %a - 1 + %idxprom where %idxprom >= 0) -
ignoring that %idxprom is scaled by -1 here lead the patch to incorrectly
conclude that %a > %b.
Revised patch by Nick White, thanks! Thanks to Lang to isolating the bug.
Slightly modified by me to add an early exit from the loop and avoid
unnecessary, but expensive, function calls.
Original commit message:
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.
Patch by Nick White!
Message from D11847:
Un-revert of r241981 and fix for PR23626. The 'Or' case of GetLinearExpression
delegates to 'Add' if possible, and if not it returns an Opaque value.
Unfortunately the Scale and Offsets weren't being set (and so defaulted to 0) -
and a scale of zero effectively removes the variable from the GEP instruction.
This meant that BasicAA would return MustAliases when it should have been
returning PartialAliases (and PR23626 was an example of the GVN pass using an
incorrect MustAlias to merge loads from what should have been different
pointers).

Summary:
This patch allows phi nodes like
%x = phi [ %incptr, ... ] [ %var, ... ]
%incptr = getelementptr %x, 1
to be analyzed by BasicAliasAnalysis.
In aliasPHI, we can detect incoming values that are recursive GEPs with a
constant offset. Instead of trying to analyze a recursive GEP (and failing),
we now ignore it and instead set the size of the memory referenced by
the PHINode to UnknownSize. This represents all the possible memory
locations the pointer represented by the PHINode could be advanced to
by the GEP.
For now, this new behavior is turned off by default to allow debugging of
performance degradations seen with SPEC/x86 and Hexagon benchmarks.
The flag -basicaa-recphi turns it on.

See r230786 and r230794 for similar changes to gep and load
respectively.
Call is a bit different because it often doesn't have a single explicit
type - usually the type is deduced from the arguments, and just the
return type is explicit. In those cases there's no need to change the
IR.
When that's not the case, the IR usually contains the pointer type of
the first operand - but since typed pointers are going away, that
representation is insufficient so I'm just stripping the "pointerness"
of the explicit type away.
This does make the IR a bit weird - it /sort of/ reads like the type of
the first operand: "call void () %x(" but %x is actually of type "void
()*" and will eventually be just of type "ptr". But this seems not too
bad and I don't think it would benefit from repeating the type
("void (), void () * %x(" and then eventually "void (), ptr %x(") as has
been done with gep and load.
This also has a side benefit: since the explicit type is no longer a
pointer, there's no ambiguity between an explicit type and a function
that returns a function pointer. Previously this case needed an explicit
type (eg: a function returning a void() function was written as
"call void () () * @x(" rather than "call void () * @x(" because of the
ambiguity between a function returning a pointer to a void() function
and a function returning void).
No ambiguity means even function pointer return types can just be
written alone, without writing the whole function's type.
This leaves /only/ the varargs case where the explicit type is required.
Given the special type syntax in call instructions, the regex-fu used
for migration was a bit more involved in its own unique way (as every
one of these is) so here it is. Use it in conjunction with the apply.sh
script and associated find/xargs commands I've provided in rr230786 to
migrate your out of tree tests. Do let me know if any of this doesn't
cover your cases & we can iterate on a more general script/regexes to
help others with out of tree tests.
About 9 test cases couldn't be automatically migrated - half of those
were functions returning function pointers, where I just had to manually
delete the function argument types now that we didn't need an explicit
function type there. The other half were typedefs of function types used
in calls - just had to manually drop the * from those.

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.
This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.
* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)
* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.
* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.
* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x
Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by

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.

Two others return MayAlias only because of a lack of analysis;
BasicAA returns PartialAlias in those cases, when a datalayout
is present.

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 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

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).
Original commit message:
This reverts r218944, which reverted r218714, plus a bug fix.
Description of the bug in r218714 (by Nick):
The original patch forgot to check if the Scale in VariableGEPIndex flipped the
sign of the variable. The BasicAA pass iterates over the instructions in the
order they appear in the function, and so BasicAliasAnalysis::aliasGEP is
called with the variable it first comes across as parameter GEP1. Adding a
%reorder label puts the definition of %a after %b so aliasGEP is called with %b
as the first parameter and %a as the second. aliasGEP later calculates that %a
== %b + 1 - %idxprom where %idxprom >= 0 (if %a was passed as the first
parameter it would calculate %b == %a - 1 + %idxprom where %idxprom >= 0) -
ignoring that %idxprom is scaled by -1 here lead the patch to incorrectly
conclude that %a > %b.
Revised patch by Nick White, thanks! Thanks to Lang to isolating the bug.
Slightly modified by me to add an early exit from the loop and avoid
unnecessary, but expensive, function calls.
Original commit message:
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.

This patch broke 447.dealII on Darwin. I'm currently working on a reduced
test-case, but reverting for now to keep the bots happy.

This is the first commit in a series that add an @llvm.assume intrinsic which
can be used to provide the optimizer with a condition it may assume to be true
(when the control flow would hit the intrinsic call). Some basic properties are added here:
- llvm.invariant(true) is dead.
- llvm.invariant(false) is unreachable (this directly corresponds to the
documented behavior of MSVC's __assume(0)), so is llvm.invariant(undef).
The intrinsic is tagged as writing arbitrarily, in order to maintain control
dependencies. BasicAA has been updated, however, to return NoModRef for any
particular location-based query so that we don't unnecessarily block code
motion.

This reverts, "r213024 - Revert r212572 "improve BasicAA CS-CS queries", it
causes PR20303." with a fix for the bug in pr20303. As it turned out, the
relevant code was both wrong and over-conservative (because, as with the code
it replaced, it would return the overall ModRef mask even if just Ref had been
implied by the argument aliasing results). Hopefully, this correctly fixes both
problems.
Thanks to Nick Lewycky for reducing the test case for pr20303 (which I've
cleaned up a little and added in DSE's test directory). The BasicAA test has
also been updated to check for this error.
Original commit message:
BasicAA contains knowledge of certain intrinsics, such as memcpy and memset,
and uses that information to form more-accurate answers to CallSite vs. Loc
ModRef queries. Unfortunately, it did not use this information when answering
CallSite vs. CallSite queries.
Generically, when an intrinsic takes one or more pointers and the intrinsic is
marked only to read/write from its arguments, the offset/size is unknown. As a
result, the generic code that answers CallSite vs. CallSite (and CallSite vs.
Loc) queries in AA uses UnknownSize when forming Locs from an intrinsic's
arguments. While BasicAA's CallSite vs. Loc override could use more-accurate
size information for some intrinsics, it did not do the same for CallSite vs.
CallSite queries.
This change refactors the intrinsic-specific logic in BasicAA into a generic AA
query function: getArgLocation, which is overridden by BasicAA to supply the
intrinsic-specific knowledge, and used by AA's generic implementation. This
allows the intrinsic-specific knowledge to be used by both CallSite vs. Loc and
CallSite vs. CallSite queries, and simplifies the BasicAA implementation.
Currently, only one function, Mac's memset_pattern16, is handled by BasicAA
(all the rest are intrinsics). As a side-effect of this refactoring, BasicAA's
getModRefBehavior override now also returns OnlyAccessesArgumentPointees for
this function (which is an improvement).
