Summary:
This patch introduces `norecurse` function attribute deduction.
`norecurse` will be deduced if the following conditions hold:
* The size of SCC in which the function belongs equals to 1.
* The function doesn't have self-recursion.
* We have `norecurse` for all call site.
To avoid a large change, SCC is calculated using scc_iterator in InfoCache initialization for now.

Summary:
There were segfaults as we modified and iterated the instruction maps in
the cache at the same time. This was happening because we created new
instructions while we populated the cache. This fix changes the order
in which we perform these actions. First, the caches for the whole
module are created, then we start to create abstract attributes.
I don't have a unit test but the LLVM test suite exposes this problem.

adding new read attribute to an argument
Summary: Update optimization pass to prevent adding read-attribute to an
argument without removing its conflicting attribute.
A read attribute, based on the result of the attribute deduction
process, might be added to an argument. The attribute might be in
conflict with other read/write attribute currently associated with the
argument. To ensure the compatibility of attributes, conflicting
attribute, if any, must be removed before a new one is added.
The following snippet shows the current behavior of the compiler, where
the compilation process is aborted due to incompatible attributes.
$ cat x.ll
; ModuleID = 'x.bc'
%_type_of_d-ccc = type <{ i8*, i8, i8, i8, i8 }>
@d-ccc = internal global %_type_of_d-ccc <{ i8* null, i8 1, i8 13, i8 0,
i8 -127 }>, align 8
define void @foo(i32* writeonly %.aaa) {
foo_entry:
%_param_.aaa = alloca i32*, align 8
store i32* %.aaa, i32** %_param_.aaa, align 8
store i8 0, i8* getelementptr inbounds (%_type_of_d-ccc,
%_type_of_d-ccc* @d-ccc, i32 0, i32 3)
ret void
}
$ opt -O3 x.ll
Attributes 'readnone and writeonly' are incompatible!
void (i32*)* @foo
in function foo
LLVM ERROR: Broken function found, compilation aborted!
The purpose of this changeset is to fix the above error. This fix is
based on a suggestion from Johannes @jdoerfert (many thanks!!!)

Summary:
Instead of recomputing information for call sites we now use the

call site specific information we can improve here.
This patch also bootstraps attributes that are created on-demand through
an initial update call. Information that is known will then directly be
available in the new attribute without causing an iteration delay.
The tests show how this improves the iteration count.

As dependences between abstract attributes can become stale, e.g., if
one was sufficient to imply another one at some point but it has since
been wakened to the point it is not usable for the formerly implied one.
To weed out spurious dependences, and thereby eliminate unneeded
updates, we introduce an option to determine how often the dependence
cache is cleared and recomputed during the fixpoint iteration.
Note that the initial value was determined such that we see a positive
result on our tests.

By default, the Attributor tracks potential dependences between abstract
attributes based on the issued Attributor::getAAFor queries. This
simplifies the development of new abstract attributes but it can also
lead to spurious dependences that might increase compile time and make
internalization harder (D63312). With this patch, abstract attributes
can opt-out of implicit dependence tracking and instead register
dependences explicitly. It is up to the implementation to make sure all
existing dependences are registered.

Before, we create the set of abstract attributes initially and then
dealt with the fact hat a lookup could fail, e.g., return a nullptr.
This patch will ensure we always return a valid object from a lookup,
allowing us not only to remove the nullptr checks but also to grow the
set of abstract attributes "in-flight" on-demand.
One can now start from those that have the best chance of improving
performance without the need to specify all they might depend on.
While this introduces some boilerplate, the usage of attributes is much
easier and cleaner now.

Summary:
This is the first commit aiming to structure the attribute deduction.
The base idea is that we have default propagation patterns as listed
below on top of which we can add specific, e.g., context sensitive,
logic.
Deduction patterns used in this patch:
- argument states are determined from call site argument states,
see AAAlignArgument and AAArgumentFromCallSiteArguments.
- call site argument states are determined as if they were floating
values, see AAAlignCallSiteArgument and AAAlignFloating.
- floating value states are determined by traversing the def-use chain
and combining the states determined for the leaves, see
AAAlignFloating and genericValueTraversal.
- call site return states are determined from function return states,
see AAAlignCallSiteReturned and AACallSiteReturnedFromReturned.
- function return states are determined from returned value states,
see AAAlignReturned and AAReturnedFromReturnedValues.
Through this strategy all logic for alignment is concentrated in the
AAAlignFloating::updateImpl method.
Note: This commit works on its own but is part of a larger change that
involves "on-demand" creation of abstract attributes that will
participate in the fixpoint iteration. Without this part, we sometimes
do not have an AAAlign abstract attribute to query, loosing information
we determined before. All tests have appropriate FIXMEs and the
information will be recovered once we added all parts.

As one of the first attributes, and one of the complex ones,
AAReturnedValues was not using liveness but we filtered the result after
the fact. This change adds liveness usage during the creation. The
algorithm is also improved and shorter.
The new algorithm will collect returned values over time using the
generic facilities that work with liveness already, e.g.,
genericValueTraversal which does not look at dead PHI node predecessors.
A test to show how this leads to better results is included.

A function is "no-return" if we never reach a return instruction, either
because there are none or the ones that exist are dead.
Test have been adjusted:
- either noreturn was added, or
- noreturn was avoided by modifying the code.
The new noreturn_{sync,async} test make sure we do handle invoke
instructions with a noreturn (and potentially nowunwind) callee
correctly, even in the presence of potential asynchronous exceptions.
llvm-svn: 367948
When we remove instructions cached references could still be live. This
patch avoids removing invoke instructions that are replaced by calls and
instead keeps them around but in a dead block.
llvm-svn: 367933
Summary:
This contains various fixes:
- Explicitly determine and return the next noreturn instruction.
- If an invoke calls a noreturn function which is not nounwind we
keep the unwind destination live. This also means we require an
invoke. Though we can still add the unreachable to the normal
destination block.
- Check if the return instructions are dead after we look for calls
to avoid triggering an optimistic fixpoint in the presence of
assumed liveness information.
- Make the interface work with "const" pointers.
- Some simplifications
While additional tests are included, full coverage is achieved only with
D59978.

This helps safe languages that insert null checks before load/store

In a nutshell, the Attributor will update instances of abstract
arguments until a fixpoint, or a "timeout", is reached. Communication

restricted to the AbstractState and AbstractAttribute interfaces.

Summary:
launder.invariant.group has the same rules of capturing as
bitcast, gep, etc - the original value is not captured
if the returned pointer is not captured.
With this patch, we mark 40% more functions as noalias when compiling with -fstrict-vtable-pointers;
1078 vs 1778 (39.37%)

Summary:
This was motivated by absence of PrunEH functionality in new PM.
It was decided that a proper way to do PruneEH is to add NoUnwind inference
into PostOrderFunctionAttrs and then perform normal SimplifyCFG on top.
This change generalizes attribute handling implemented for (a removal of)
Convergent attribute, by introducing a generic builder-like class
AttributeInferer
It registers all the attribute inference requests, storing per-attribute
predicates into a vector, and then goes through an SCC Node, scanning all
the instructions for not breaking attribute assumptions.
The main idea is that as soon all the instructions from all the functions
of SCC Node conform to attribute assumptions then we are free to infer
the attribute as set for all the functions of SCC Node.
It handles two distinct cases of attributes:
- those that might break due to derefinement of the function code
for these attributes we are allowed to apply inference only if all the
functions are "exact definitions". Example - NoUnwind.
- those that do not care about derefinement
for these attributes we are allowed to apply inference as soon as we see
any function definition. Example - removal of Convergent attribute.
Also in this commit:
* Converted all the FunctionAttrs tests to use FileCheck and added new-PM
invocations to them
* FunctionAttrs/convergent.ll test demonstrates a difference in behavior between
new and old PM implementations. Marked with FIXME.
* PruneEH tests were converted to new-PM as well, using function-attrs+simplify-cfg
combo as intended
* some of "other" tests were updated since function-attrs now infers 'nounwind'
even for old PM pipeline
* -disable-nounwind-inference hidden option added as a possible workaround for a supposedly
rare case when nounwind being inferred by default presents a problem

- Fix for bug 36078.
- Prevent the functionattrs, function-attrs, globalopt and argpromotion passes
from changing naked functions.
- These passes can perform some alterations to the functions that should not be
applied. An example is removing parameters that are seemingly not used because
they are only referenced in the inline assembly. Another example is marking
the function as fastcc.

This patch implements Chandler's idea [0] for supporting languages that
require support for infinite loops with side effects, such as Rust, providing
part of a solution to bug 965 [1].
Specifically, it adds an `llvm.sideeffect()` intrinsic, which has no actual
effect, but which appears to optimization passes to have obscure side effects,
such that they don't optimize away loops containing it. It also teaches
several optimization passes to ignore this intrinsic, so that it doesn't
significantly impact optimization in most cases.
As discussed on llvm-dev [2], this patch is the first of two major parts.
The second part, to change LLVM's semantics to have defined behavior
on infinite loops by default, with a function attribute for opting into
potential-undefined-behavior, will be implemented and posted for review in
a separate patch.

Fixes PR31789 - When loop-vectorize tries to use these intrinsics for a
non-default address space pointer we fail with a "Calling a function with a
bad singature!" assertion. This patch solves this by adding the 'vector of
pointers' argument as an overloaded type which will determine the address
space.

Summary:
Attaching !absolute_symbol to a global variable does two things:
1) Marks it as an absolute symbol reference.
2) Specifies the value range of that symbol's address.
Teach the X86 backend to allow absolute symbols to appear in place of
immediates by extending the relocImm and mov64imm32 matchers. Start using
relocImm in more places where it is legal.

Trying to infer the 'returned' attribute if an argument is already
'returned' can lead to verification failure: inference might determine
that a different argument is passed through which would result in two
different arguments marked as 'returned'.
This fixes PR30350.
llvm-svn: 281221
We skipped over ReturnInsts which didn't return an argument which would
lead us to incorrectly conclude that an argument returned by another
ReturnInst was 'returned'.
This reverts commit r275756.
This fixes PR28610.

This reverts also r275029, "Update Clang tests after adding inference for the returned argument attribute"

This actually uncovered a surprisingly large chain of ultimately unused
TLI args.
From what I can gather, this argument is a remnant of when
isKnownNonNull would look at the TLI directly.
The current approach seems to be that InferFunctionAttrs runs early in
the pipeline and uses TLI to annotate the TLI-dependent non-null
information as return attributes.
This also removes the dependence of functionattrs on TLI altogether.
llvm-svn: 274455
There are two separate issues:
- LLVM doesn't consider infinite loops to be side effects: we happily
hoist/sink above/below loops whose bounds are unknown.
- The absence of the noreturn attribute is insufficient for us to know
if a function will definitely return. Relying on noreturn in the
middle-end for any property is an accident waiting to happen.

Below are my super rough notes when porting. They can probably serve as
a basic guide for porting other passes to the new PM. As I port more
passes I'll expand and generalize this and make a proper
docs/HowToPortToNewPassManager.rst document. There is also missing
documentation for general concepts and API's in the new PM which will
require some documentation.
Once there is proper documentation in place we can put up a list of
passes that have to be ported and game-ify/crowdsource the rest of the
porting (at least of the middle end; the backend is still unclear).
I will however be taking personal responsibility for ensuring that the
LLD/ELF LTO pipeline is ported in a timely fashion. The remaining passes
to be ported are (do something like
`git grep "<the string in the bullet point below>"` to find the pass):
General Scalar:
[ ] Simplify the CFG
[ ] Jump Threading
[ ] MemCpy Optimization
[ ] Promote Memory to Register
[ ] MergedLoadStoreMotion
[ ] Lazy Value Information Analysis
General IPO:
[ ] Dead Argument Elimination
[ ] Deduce function attributes in RPO
Loop stuff / vectorization stuff:
[ ] Alignment from assumptions
[ ] Canonicalize natural loops
[ ] Delete dead loops
[ ] Loop Access Analysis
[ ] Loop Invariant Code Motion
[ ] Loop Vectorization
[ ] SLP Vectorizer
[ ] Unroll loops
Devirtualization / CFI:
[ ] Cross-DSO CFI
[ ] Whole program devirtualization
[ ] Lower bitset metadata
CGSCC passes:
[ ] Function Integration/Inlining
[ ] Remove unused exception handling info
[ ] Promote 'by reference' arguments to scalars
Please let me know if you are interested in working on any of the passes
in the above list (e.g. reply to the post-commit thread for this patch).
I'll probably be tackling "General Scalar" and "General IPO" first FWIW.
Steps as I port "Deduce function attributes in RPO"
---------------------------------------------------
(note: if you are doing any work based on these notes, please leave a
note in the post-commit review thread for this commit with any
improvements / suggestions / incompleteness you ran into!)
Note: "Deduce function attributes in RPO" is a module pass.
1. Do preparatory refactoring.
Do preparatory factoring. In this case all I had to do was to pull out a static helper (r272503).
(TODO: give more advice here e.g. if pass holds state or something)
2. Rename the old pass class.
llvm/lib/Transforms/IPO/FunctionAttrs.cpp
Rename class ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrs -> ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsLegacyPass
in preparation for adding a class ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrs as the pass in the new PM.
(edit: actually wait what? The new class name will be
ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass, so it doesn't conflict. So this step is
sort of useless churn).
llvm/include/llvm/InitializePasses.h
llvm/lib/LTO/LTOCodeGenerator.cpp
llvm/lib/Transforms/IPO/IPO.cpp
llvm/lib/Transforms/IPO/FunctionAttrs.cpp
Rename initializeReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass -> initializeReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsLegacyPassPass
(note that the "PassPass" thing falls out of `s/ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrs/ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsLegacyPass/`)
Note that the INITIALIZE_PASS macro is what creates this identifier name, so renaming the class requires this renaming too.
Note that createReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass does not need to be
renamed since its name is not generated from the class name.
3. Add the new PM pass class.
In the new PM all passes need to have their
declaration in a header somewhere, so you will often need to add a header.
In this case
llvm/include/llvm/Transforms/IPO/FunctionAttrs.h is already there because
PostOrderFunctionAttrsPass was already ported.
The file-level comment from the .cpp file can be used as the file-level
comment for the new header. You may want to tweak the wording slightly
from "this file implements" to "this file provides" or similar.
Add declaration for the new PM pass in this header:
class ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass
: public PassInfoMixin<ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass> {
public:
PreservedAnalyses run(Module &M, AnalysisManager<Module> &AM);
};
Its name should end with `Pass` for consistency (note that this doesn't
collide with the names of most old PM passes). E.g. call it
`<name of the old PM pass>Pass`.
Also, move the doxygen comment from the old PM pass to the declaration of
this class in the header.
Also, include the declaration for the new PM class
`llvm/Transforms/IPO/FunctionAttrs.h` at the top of the file (in this case,
it was already done when the other pass in this file was ported).
Now define the `run` method for the new class.
The main things here are:
a) Use AM.getResult<...>(M) to get results instead of `getAnalysis<...>()`
b) If the old PM pass would have returned "false" (i.e. `Changed ==
false`), then you should return PreservedAnalyses::all();
c) In the old PM getAnalysisUsage method, observe the calls
`AU.addPreserved<...>();`.
In the case `Changed == true`, for each preserved analysis you should do
call `PA.preserve<...>()` on a PreservedAnalyses object and return it.
E.g.:
PreservedAnalyses PA;
PA.preserve<CallGraphAnalysis>();
return PA;
Note that calls to skipModule/skipFunction are not supported in the new PM
currently, so optnone and optimization bisect support do not work. You can
just drop those calls for now.
4. Add the pass to the new PM pass registry to make it available in opt.
In llvm/lib/Passes/PassBuilder.cpp add a #include for your header.
`#include "llvm/Transforms/IPO/FunctionAttrs.h"`
In this case there is already an include (from when
PostOrderFunctionAttrsPass was ported).
Add your pass to llvm/lib/Passes/PassRegistry.def
In this case, I added
`MODULE_PASS("rpo-functionattrs", ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass())`
The string is from the `INITIALIZE_PASS*` macros used in the old pass
manager.
Then choose a test that uses the pass and use the new PM `-passes=...` to
run it.
E.g. in this case there is a test that does:
; RUN: opt < %s -basicaa -functionattrs -rpo-functionattrs -S | FileCheck %s
I have added the line:
; RUN: opt < %s -aa-pipeline=basic-aa -passes='require<targetlibinfo>,cgscc(function-attrs),rpo-functionattrs' -S | FileCheck %s
The `-aa-pipeline=basic-aa` and
`require<targetlibinfo>,cgscc(function-attrs)` are what is needed to run
functionattrs in the new PM (note that in the new PM "functionattrs"
becomes "function-attrs" for some reason). This is just pulled from
`readattrs.ll` which contains the change from when functionattrs was ported
to the new PM.
Adding rpo-functionattrs causes the pass that was just ported to run.

It turns out that too many passes are relying on alias analysis results
for control dependencies. Until we fix that by introducing a more accurate
modelling of control dependencies, special case assume in MemorySSA instead.
Also introduce tests to ensure we don't regress the FunctionAttrs or LICM
passes.

A volatile load has side effects beyond what callers expect readonly to
signify. For example, it is not safe to reorder two function calls
which each perform a volatile load to the same memory location.
llvm-svn: 270671
Summary:
Fixes PR26774.
If you're aware of the issue, feel free to skip the "Motivation"
section and jump directly to "This patch".
Motivation:
I define "refinement" as discarding behaviors from a program that the
optimizer has license to discard. So transforming:
```
void f(unsigned x) {
unsigned t = 5 / x;
(void)t;
}
```
to
```
void f(unsigned x) { }
```
is refinement, since the behavior went from "if x == 0 then undefined
else nothing" to "nothing" (the optimizer has license to discard
undefined behavior).
Refinement is a fundamental aspect of many mid-level optimizations done
by LLVM. For instance, transforming `x == (x + 1)` to `false` also
involves refinement since the expression's value went from "if x is
`undef` then { `true` or `false` } else { `false` }" to "`false`" (by
definition, the optimizer has license to fold `undef` to any non-`undef`
value).
Unfortunately, refinement implies that the optimizer cannot assume
that the implementation of a function it can see has all of the
behavior an unoptimized or a differently optimized version of the same
function can have. This is a problem for functions with comdat
linkage, where a function can be replaced by an unoptimized or a
differently optimized version of the same source level function.
For instance, FunctionAttrs cannot assume a comdat function is
actually `readnone` even if it does not have any loads or stores in
it; since there may have been loads and stores in the "original
function" that were refined out in the currently visible variant, and
at the link step the linker may in fact choose an implementation with
a load or a store. As an example, consider a function that does two
atomic loads from the same memory location, and writes to memory only
if the two values are not equal. The optimizer is allowed to refine
this function by first CSE'ing the two loads, and the folding the
comparision to always report that the two values are equal. Such a
refined variant will look like it is `readonly`. However, the
unoptimized version of the function can still write to memory (since
the two loads //can// result in different values), and selecting the
unoptimized version at link time will retroactively invalidate
transforms we may have done under the assumption that the function
does not write to memory.
Note: this is not just a problem with atomics or with linking
differently optimized object files. See PR26774 for more realistic
examples that involved neither.
This patch:
This change introduces a new set of linkage types, predicated as
`GlobalValue::mayBeDerefined` that returns true if the linkage type
allows a function to be replaced by a differently optimized variant at
link time. It then changes a set of IPO passes to bail out if they see
such a function.
