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.

Allow unaligned 16-byte memop codegen for btver2. No functional changes for any other subtargets.
Replace the existing supposed small memcpy test with an actual test of a small memcpy.
The previous test wasn't using FileCheck either.
This patch should allow us to close PR21541 ( http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21541 ).

The theory is it's still faster than a pair of movq / a quad of movl. This
will probably hurt older chips like P4 but should run faster on current
and future Intel processors. rdar://8817010

1. Makes it possible to lower with floating point loads and stores.
2. Avoid unaligned loads / stores unless it's fast.
3. Fix some memcpy lowering logic bug related to when to optimize a
load from constant string into a constant.
4. Adjust x86 memcpy lowering threshold to make it more sane.
5. Fix x86 target hook so it uses vector and floating point memory
ops more effectively.

integer and floating-point opcodes, introducing
FAdd, FSub, and FMul.
For now, the AsmParser, BitcodeReader, and IRBuilder all preserve
backwards compatability, and the Core LLVM APIs preserve backwards
compatibility for IR producers. Most front-ends won't need to change
immediately.
This implements the first step of the plan outlined here:

on any current target and aren't optimized in DAGCombiner. Instead
of using intermediate nodes, expand the operations, choosing between
simple loads/stores, target-specific code, and library calls,
immediately.
Previously, the code to emit optimized code for these operations
was only used at initial SelectionDAG construction time; now it is
used at all times. This fixes some cases where rep;movs was being
used for small copies where simple loads/stores would be better.
This also cleans up code that checks for alignments less than 4;
let the targets make that decision instead of doing it in
target-independent code. This allows x86 to use rep;movs in
low-alignment cases.
Also, this fixes a bug that resulted in the use of rep;stos for
memsets of 0 with non-constant memory size when the alignment was
at least 4. It's better to use the library in this case, which
can be significantly faster when the size is large.
This also preserves more SourceValue information when memory
intrinsics are lowered into simple loads/stores.
