If we load from a location with range metadata, we can use information about the ranges of the loaded value for optimization purposes. This helps to remove redundant checks and canonicalize checks for other optimization passes. This particular patch checks whether a value is known to be non-zero from the range metadata.
Currently, these tests are against InstCombine. In theory, all of these should be InstSimplify since we're not inserting any new instructions. Moving the code may follow in a separate change.

ConstantFolding crashes when trying to InstSimplify the following load:
@a = private unnamed_addr constant %mst {
i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*),
i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*)
}, align 8
%x = load <2 x i8*>* bitcast (%mst* @a to <2 x i8*>*), align 8
This patch fix this by adding support to this type of folding:
%x = load <2 x i8*>* bitcast (%mst* @a to <2 x i8*>*), align 8
==> gets folded to:
%x = <2 x i8*> <i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*), i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*)>

Eventually, the datalayout can just be required but in practice it will
always be there today.
To go with the ability to expose available values requiring a ptrtoint
or inttoptr cast, helpers are added to perform one of these three casts.
These smarts are necessary to finish canonicalizing loads and stores to
the operational type requirements without regressing fundamental
combines.
I've added some test cases. These should actually improve as the load
combining and store combining improves, but they may fundamentally be
highlighting some missing combines for select in addition to exercising
the specific added logic to load analysis.

Our metadata scheme lazily assigns IDs to string metadata, but we have a mechanism to preassign them as well. Using a preassigned ID is helpful since we get compile time type checking, and avoid some (minimal) string construction and comparison. This change adds enum value for three existing metadata types:
+ MD_nontemporal = 9, // "nontemporal"
+ MD_mem_parallel_loop_access = 10, // "llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access"
+ MD_nonnull = 11 // "nonnull"
I went through an updated various uses as well. I made no attempt to get all uses; I focused on the ones which were easily grepable and easily to translate. For example, there were several items in LoopInfo.cpp I chose not to update.

The newly introduced 'nonnull' metadata is analogous to existing 'nonnull' attributes, but applies to load instructions rather than call arguments or returns. Long term, it would be nice to combine these into a single construct. The value of the load is allowed to vary between successive loads, but null is not a valid value to be loaded by any load marked nonnull.

The original code had an implicit assumption that if the test for
allocas or globals was reached, the two pointers were not equal. With my
changes to make the pointer analysis more powerful here, I also had to
guard against circumstances where the results weren't useful. That in
turn violated the assumption and gave rise to a circumstance in which we
could have a store with both the queried pointer and stored pointer
rooted at *the same* alloca. Clearly, we cannot ignore such a store.
There are other things we might do in this code to better handle the
case of both pointers ending up at the same alloca or global, but it
seems best to at least make the test explicit in what it intends to
check.
I've added tests for both the alloca and global case here.

logic to look through pointer casts, making them trivially stronger in
the face of loads and stores with intervening pointer casts.
I've included a few test cases that demonstrate the kind of folding
instcombine can do without pointer casts and then variations which
obfuscate the logic through bitcasts. Without this patch, the variations
all fail to optimize fully.
This is more important now than it has been in the past as I've started
moving the load canonicialization to more closely follow the value type
requirements rather than the pointer type requirements and thus this
needs to be prepared for more pointer casts. When I made the same change
to stores several test cases regressed without logic along these lines
so I wanted to systematically improve matters first.

up to where it actually works as intended. The problem is that
a GlobalAlias isa GlobalValue and so the prior block handled all of the
cases.
This allows us to constant fold based on the actual constant expression
in the global alias. As an example, see the last function in the newly
added test case which explicitly aligns an unaligned pointer using
constant expression math. Without this change, we fail to see that and
fold an alignment test to zero.

by my refactoring of this code.
The method isSafeToLoadUnconditionally assumes that the load will
proceed with the preferred type alignment. Given that, it has to ensure
that the alloca or global is at least that aligned. It has always done
this historically when a datalayout is present, but has never checked it
when the datalayout is absent. When I refactored the code in r220156,
I exposed this path when datalayout was present and that turned the
latent bug into a patent bug.
This fixes the issue by just removing the special case which allows
folding things without datalayout. This isn't worth the complexity of
trying to tease apart when it is or isn't safe without actually knowing
the preferred alignment.

make much more sense and in theory be more correct.
If you trace the code alllll the way back to when it was first
introduced, the comments make it slightly more clear what was going on
here. At that time, the only way Base != V was if DL (then TD) was
non-null. As a consequence, if DL *was* null, that meant we were loading
directly from the alloca or global found above the test. After
refactoring, this has become at least terribly subtle and potentially
incorrect. There are many forms of pointer manipulation that can be
traversed without DataLayout, and some of them would in fact change the
size of object being loaded vs. allocated.
Rather than this subtlety, I've hoisted the actual 'return true' bits
into the code which actually found an alloca or global and based them on
the loaded pointer being that alloca or global. This is both more clear
and safer. I've also added comments about exactly why this set of
predicates is used.
I've also corrected a misleading comment about globals -- if overridden
they may not just have a different size, they may be null and completely
unsafe to load from!
Hopefully this confuses the next reader a bit less. I don't have any
test cases or anything, the patch is motivated strictly to improve the
readability of the code.

We need to make sure that we visit all operands of an instruction before moving
deeper in the operand graph. We had been pushing operands onto the back of the work
set, and popping them off the back as well, meaning that we might visit an
instruction before visiting all of its uses that sit in between it and the call
to @llvm.assume.
To provide an explicit example, given the following:
%q0 = extractelement <4 x float> %rd, i32 0
%q1 = extractelement <4 x float> %rd, i32 1
%q2 = extractelement <4 x float> %rd, i32 2
%q3 = extractelement <4 x float> %rd, i32 3
%q4 = fadd float %q0, %q1
%q5 = fadd float %q2, %q3
%q6 = fadd float %q4, %q5
%qi = fcmp olt float %q6, %q5
call void @llvm.assume(i1 %qi)
%q5 is used by both %qi and %q6. When we visit %qi, it will be marked as
ephemeral, and we'll queue %q6 and %q5. %q6 will be marked as ephemeral and
we'll queue %q4 and %q5. Under the old system, we'd then visit %q4, which
would become ephemeral, %q1 and then %q0, which would become ephemeral as
well, and now we have a problem. We'd visit %rd, but it would not be marked as
ephemeral because we've not yet visited %q2 and %q3 (because we've not yet
visited %q5).
This will be covered by a test case in a follow-up commit that enables
ephemeral-value awareness in the SLP vectorizer.

When LazyValueInfo uses @llvm.assume intrinsics to provide edge-value
constraints, we should check for intrinsics that dominate the edge's branch,
not just any potential context instructions. An assumption that dominates the
edge's branch represents a truth on that edge. This is specifically useful, for
example, if multiple predecessors assume a pointer to be nonnull, allowing us
to simplify a later null comparison.
The test case, and an initial patch, were provided by Philip Reames. Thanks!

routines and fix all of the bugs they expose.
I hit a test case that crashed even without these asserts due to passing
a non-exiting latch to the ExitingBlock parameter of the trip count
computation machinery. However, when I add the nice asserts, it turns
out we have plenty of coverage of these bugs, they just didn't manifest
in crashers.
The core problem seems to stem from an assumption that the latch *is*
the exiting block. While this is often true, and somewhat the "normal"
way to think about loops, it isn't necessarily true. The correct way to
call the trip count routines in a *generic* fashion (that is, without
a particular exit in mind) is to just use the loop's single exiting
block if it has one. The trip count can't be computed generically unless
it does. This works great for the loop vectorizer. The loop unroller
actually *wants* to select the latch when it has to chose between
multiple exits because for unrolling it is the latch trips that matter.
But if this is the desire, it needs to explicitly guard for non-exiting
latches and check for the generic trip count in that case.
I've added the asserts, and added convenience APIs for querying the trip
count generically that check for a single exit block. I've kept the APIs
consistent between computing trip count and trip multiples.
Thansk to Mark for the help debugging and tracking down the *right* fix
here!

ScalarEvolution in the presence of multiple exits. Previously all
loops exits had to have identical counts for a loop trip count to be
considered computable. This pessimization was implemented by calling
getBackedgeTakenCount(L) rather than getExitCount(L, ExitingBlock)
inside of ScalarEvolution::getSmallConstantTripCount() (see the FIXME
in the comments of that function). The pessimization was added to fix
a corner case involving undefined behavior (pr/16130). This patch more
precisely handles the undefined behavior case allowing the pessimization
to be removed.
ControlsExit replaces IsSubExpr to more precisely track the case where
undefined behavior is expected to occur. Because undefined behavior is
tracked more precisely we can remove MustExit from ExitLimit. MustExit
was used to track the case where the limit was computed potentially
assuming undefined behavior even if undefined behavior didn't necessarily
occur.

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.

We used to return PartialAlias if *either* variable being queried interacted
with arguments or globals. AFAICT, we can change this to only returning
MayAlias iff *both* variables being queried interacted with arguments or
globals.
Also, adding some basic functionality tests: some basic IPA tests, checking
that we give conservative responses with arguments/globals thrown in the mix,
and ensuring that we trace values through stores and loads.
Note that saying that 'x' interacted with arguments or globals means that the
Attributes of the StratifiedSet that 'x' belongs to has any bits set.

The sqrt of a negative number when using the llvm intrinsic is undefined.
We should return undef rather than 0.0 to match the definition in the LLVM IR lang ref.
This change should not affect any code that isn't using "no-nans-fp-math";
ie, no-nans is a requirement for generating the llvm intrinsic in place of a sqrt function call.
Unfortunately, the behavior introduced by this patch will not match current gcc, xlc, icc, and
possibly other compilers. The current clang/llvm behavior of returning 0.0 doesn't either.
We knowingly approve of this difference with the other compilers in an attempt to flag code
that is invoking undefined behavior.
A front-end warning should also try to convince the user that the program will fail:

- Problem
One program takes ~3min to compile under -O2. This happens after a certain
function A is inlined ~700 times in a function B, inserting thousands of new
BBs. This leads to 80% of the compilation time spent in
GVN::processNonLocalLoad and
MemoryDependenceAnalysis::getNonLocalPointerDependency, while searching for
nonlocal information for basic blocks.
Usually, to avoid spending a long time to process nonlocal loads, GVN bails out
if it gets more than 100 deps as a result from
MD->getNonLocalPointerDependency. However this only happens *after* all
nonlocal information for BBs have been computed, which is the bottleneck in
this scenario. For instance, there are 8280 times where
getNonLocalPointerDependency returns deps with more than 100 bbs and from
those, 600 times it returns more than 1000 blocks.
- Solution
Bail out early during the nonlocal info computation whenever we reach a
specified threshold. This patch proposes a 100 BBs threshold, it also
reduces the compile time from 3min to 23s.
- Testing
The test-suite presented no compile nor execution time regressions.
Some numbers from my machine (x86_64 darwin):
- 17s under -Oz (which avoids inlining).
- 1.3s under -O1.
- 2m51s under -O2 ToT
*** 23s under -O2 w/ Result.size() > 100
- 1m54s under -O2 w/ Result.size() > 500
With NumResultsLimit = 100, GVN yields the same outcome as in the
unlimited 3min version.
