tables in bitmaps when they fit in a target-legal register.
This saves some space, and it also allows for building tables that would
otherwise be deemed too sparse.
One interesting case that this hits is example 7 from
http://blog.regehr.org/archives/320. We currently generate good code
for this when lowering the switch to the selection DAG: we build a
bitmask to decide whether to jump to one block or the other. My patch
will result in the same bitmask, but it removes the need for the jump,
as the return value can just be retrieved from the mask.

This should really, really fix PR13916. For real this time. The
underlying bug is... a bit more subtle than I had imagined.
The setup is a code pattern that leads to an @llvm.memcpy call with two
equal pointers to an alloca in the source and dest. Now, not any pattern
will do. The alloca needs to be formed just so, and both pointers should
be wrapped in different bitcasts etc. When this precise pattern hits,
a funny sequence of events transpires. First, we correctly detect the
potential for overlap, and correctly optimize the memcpy. The first
time. However, we do simplify the set of users of the alloca, and that
causes us to run the alloca back through the SROA pass in case there are
knock-on simplifications. At this point, a curious thing has happened.
If we happen to have an i8 alloca, we have direct i8 pointer values. So
we don't bother creating a cast, we rewrite the arguments to the memcpy
to dircetly refer to the alloca.
Now, in an unrelated area of the pass, we have clever logic which
ensures that when visiting each User of a particular pointer derived
from an alloca, we only visit that User once, and directly inspect all
of its operands which refer to that particular pointer value. However,
the mechanism used to detect memcpy's with the potential to overlap
relied upon getting visited once per *Use*, not once per *User*. This is
always true *unless* the same exact value is both source and dest. It
turns out that almost nothing actually produces that pattern though.
We can hand craft test cases that more directly test this behavior of
course, and those are included. Also, note that there is a significant
missed optimization here -- we prove in many cases that there is
a non-volatile memcpy call with identical source and dest addresses. We
shouldn't prevent splitting the alloca in that case, and in fact we
should just remove such memcpy calls eagerly. I'll address that in
a subsequent commit.

Previously it was only be able to detect problems if the pointer was a numerical
value (eg inttoptr i32 1 to i32*), but not if it was an alloca or globa. The
reason was the use of ComputeMaskedBits: imagine you have "alloca i8, align 2",
and ask ComputeMaskedBits what it knows about the bits of the alloca pointer.
It can tell you that the bottom bit is known zero (due to align 2) but it can't
tell you that bit 1 is known one. That's because the address could be an even
multiple of 2 rather than an odd multiple, eg it might be a multiple of 4. Thus
trying to use KnownOne is ineffective in the case of an alloca as it will never
have any bits set. Instead look explicitly for constant offsets from allocas
and globals.

integer promotion analogous to vector promotion. When there is an
integer alloca being accessed both as its integer type and as a narrower
integer type, promote the narrower access to "insert" and "extract" the
smaller integer from the larger one, and make the integer alloca
a candidate for promotion.
In the new formulation, we don't care about target legal integer or use
thresholds to control things. Instead, we only perform this promotion to
an integer type which the frontend has already emitted a load or store
for. This bounds the scope and prevents optimization passes from
coalescing larger and larger entities into a single integer.

across the uses of the alloca. It's entirely possible for negative
numbers to come up here, and in some rare cases simply doing the 2's
complement arithmetic isn't the correct decision. Notably, we can't zext
the index of the GEP. The definition of GEP is that these offsets are
sign extended or truncated to the size of the pointer, and then wrapping
2's complement arithmetic used.
This patch fixes an issue that comes up with *no* input from the
buildbots or bootstrap afaict. The only place where it manifested,
disturbingly, is Clang's own regression test suite. A reduced and
targeted collection of tests are added to cope with this. Note that I've
tried to pin down the potential cases of overflow, but may have missed
some cases. I've tried to add a few cases to test this, but its hard
because LLVM has quite limited support for >64bit constructs.

the 'ld' at the beginning of newMBB should be lift out of the loop
as lcs (or CMPXCHG on x86) will load the current memory value into
EAX. This loop is refined as:
thisMBB:
EAX = LOAD [MI.addr]
mainMBB:
t1 = OP [MI.val], EAX
LCMPXCHG [MI.addr], t1, [EAX is implicitly used & defined]
JNE mainMBB

* Remove immopc as, so far, all pseudo-atomic instructions has

A common coalescing conflict in vector code is lane insertion:
%dst = FOO
%src = BAR
%dst:ssub0 = COPY %src
The live range of %src interferes with the ssub0 lane of %dst, but that
lane is never read after %src would have clobbered it. That makes it
safe to merge the live ranges and eliminate the COPY:
%dst = FOO
%dst:ssub0 = BAR
This patch teaches the new coalescer to resolve conflicts where dead
vector lanes would be clobbered, at least as long as the clobbered
vector lanes don't escape the basic block.

This is a follow-up from r163302, which added a transformation to
SimplifyCFG that turns some switches into loads from lookup tables.
It was pointed out that some targets, such as GPUs and deeply embedded
targets, might not find this appropriate, but SimplifyCFG doesn't have
enough information about the target to decide this.
This patch adds the reverse transformation to CodeGenPrep: it turns
loads from lookup tables back into switches for targets where we do not
build jump tables (assuming these are also the targets where lookup
tables are inappropriate).
Hopefully we will eventually get to have target information in
SimplifyCFG, and then this CodeGenPrep transformation can be removed.

Two deeply nested if's obscured that the sense of the conditions was

accident". As such, I couldn't come up with a test case.
If there does in fact exist a non-symmetric conversion in TableGen's
type system, then a test case should be prepared.
Despite the symmetry, both if's are left in place for robustness in the

Add LIS::pruneValue() and extendToIndices(). These two functions are
used by the register coalescer when merging two live ranges requires
more than a trivial value mapping as supported by LiveInterval::join().
The pruneValue() function can remove the part of a value number that is
going to conflict in join(). Afterwards, extendToIndices can restore the
live range, using any new dominating value numbers and updating the SSA
form.
Use this complex value mapping to support merging a register into a
vector lane that has a conflicting value, but the clobbered lane is
undef.

partition use lists a bit. No functionality changed.
These visitors are actually visiting a tuple of a Use and an offset into
the alloca. However, we use the InstVisitor to handle the dispatch over
the users, and so the Use and Offset are stored in class member
variables and set just before each call to visit(). This is fairly
awkward and makes the functions a bit harder to read, but its the only
real option we have until InstVisitor can be rewritten to use variadic
templates.
However, this pattern shouldn't be followed on the helper member
functions where there is no interface constraint from the visitor. We
already were passing the instruction as a normal parameter rather than
use the Use to get at it, start passing the offset as well. This will
become more important in subsequent patches as the offset will in some
cases change while visiting a single instruction.

The live range of an SSA value forms a sub-tree of the dominator tree.
That means the live ranges of two values overlap if and only if the def
of one value lies within the live range of the other.
This can be used to simplify the interference checking a bit: Visit each
def in the two registers about to be joined. Check for interference
against the value that is live in the other register at the def point
only. It is not necessary to scan the set of overlapping live ranges,
this interference check can be done while computing the value mapping
required for the final live range join.
The new algorithm is prepared to handle more complicated conflict
resolution - We can allow overlapping live ranges with different values
as long as the differing lanes are undef or unused in the other
register.
The implementation in this patch doesn't do that yet, it creates code
that is nearly identical to the old algorithm's, except:
- The new stripCopies() function sees through multiple copies while
the old RegistersDefinedFromSameValue() only can handle one.
- There are a few rare cases where the new algorithm can erase an
IMPLICIT_DEF instuction that RegistersDefinedFromSameValue() couldn't
handle.

new one, and add support for running the new pass in that mode and in
that slot of the pass manager. With this the new pass can completely
replace the old one within the pipeline.
The strategy for enabling or disabling the SSAUpdater logic is to do it
by making the requirement of the domtree analysis optional. By default,
it is required and we get the standard mem2reg approach. This is usually
the desired strategy when run in stand-alone situations. Within the
CGSCC pass manager, we disable requiring of the domtree analysis and
consequentially trigger fallback to the SSAUpdater promotion.
In theory this would allow the pass to re-use a domtree if one happened
to be available even when run in a mode that doesn't require it. In
practice, it lets us have a single pass rather than two which was
simpler for me to wrap my head around.
There is a hidden flag to force the use of the SSAUpdater code path for
the purpose of testing. The primary testing strategy is just to run the
existing tests through that path. One notable difference is that it has
custom code to handle lifetime markers, and one of the tests has been
enhanced to exercise that code.
This has survived a bootstrap and the test suite without serious
correctness issues, however my run of the test suite produced *very*
alarming performance numbers. I don't entirely understand or trust them
though, so more investigation is on-going.
To aid my understanding of the performance impact of the new SROA now
that it runs throughout the optimization pipeline, I'm enabling it by
default in this commit, and will disable it again once the LNT bots have
picked up one iteration with it. I want to get those bots (which are
much more stable) to evaluate the impact of the change before I jump to
any conclusions.
NOTE: Several Clang tests will fail because they run -O3 and check the
result's order of output. They'll go back to passing once I disable it
again.

This models the A9 processor at the level of instruction operands, as
opposed to the itinerary, which models each operation at the level of
pipeline stages.
The two primary motivations are:
1) Allow MachineScheduler to model A9 as an out-of-order processor. It
can now distinguish between hazards that force interlocking vs.
buffered resources.
2) Reduce long-term maintenance by allowing the itinerary and target
hooks to eventually be removed. Note that almost all of the complexity
in the new model exists to model instruction variants, which the
itinerary cannot handle. Instead the scheduler previously relied on
processor-specific target hooks which are incomplete and buggy.

is a much simpler way to manange the variable.

This is essentially a ground up re-think of the SROA pass in LLVM. It
was initially inspired by a few problems with the existing pass:
- It is subject to the bane of my existence in optimizations: arbitrary
thresholds.
- It is overly conservative about which constructs can be split and
promoted.
- The vector value replacement aspect is separated from the splitting
logic, missing many opportunities where splitting and vector value
formation can work together.
- The splitting is entirely based around the underlying type of the
alloca, despite this type often having little to do with the reality
of how that memory is used. This is especially prevelant with unions
and base classes where we tail-pack derived members.
- When splitting fails (often due to the thresholds), the vector value
replacement (again because it is separate) can kick in for
preposterous cases where we simply should have split the value. This
results in forming i1024 and i2048 integer "bit vectors" that
tremendously slow down subsequnet IR optimizations (due to large
APInts) and impede the backend's lowering.
The new design takes an approach that fundamentally is not susceptible
to many of these problems. It is the result of a discusison between
myself and Duncan Sands over IRC about how to premptively avoid these
types of problems and how to do SROA in a more principled way. Since
then, it has evolved and grown, but this remains an important aspect: it
fixes real world problems with the SROA process today.
First, the transform of SROA actually has little to do with replacement.
It has more to do with splitting. The goal is to take an aggregate
alloca and form a composition of scalar allocas which can replace it and
will be most suitable to the eventual replacement by scalar SSA values.
The actual replacement is performed by mem2reg (and in the future
SSAUpdater).
The splitting is divided into four phases. The first phase is an
analysis of the uses of the alloca. This phase recursively walks uses,
building up a dense datastructure representing the ranges of the
alloca's memory actually used and checking for uses which inhibit any
aspects of the transform such as the escape of a pointer.
Once we have a mapping of the ranges of the alloca used by individual
operations, we compute a partitioning of the used ranges. Some uses are
inherently splittable (such as memcpy and memset), while scalar uses are
not splittable. The goal is to build a partitioning that has the minimum
number of splits while placing each unsplittable use in its own
partition. Overlapping unsplittable uses belong to the same partition.
This is the target split of the aggregate alloca, and it maximizes the
number of scalar accesses which become accesses to their own alloca and
candidates for promotion.
Third, we re-walk the uses of the alloca and assign each specific memory
access to all the partitions touched so that we have dense use-lists for
each partition.
Finally, we build a new, smaller alloca for each partition and rewrite
each use of that partition to use the new alloca. During this phase the
pass will also work very hard to transform uses of an alloca into a form
suitable for promotion, including forming vector operations, speculating
loads throguh PHI nodes and selects, etc.
After splitting is complete, each newly refined alloca that is
a candidate for promotion to a scalar SSA value is run through mem2reg.
There are lots of reasonably detailed comments in the source code about
the design and algorithms, and I'm going to be trying to improve them in
subsequent commits to ensure this is well documented, as the new pass is
in many ways more complex than the old one.
Some of this is still a WIP, but the current state is reasonbly stable.
It has passed bootstrap, the nightly test suite, and Duncan has run it
successfully through the ACATS and DragonEgg test suites. That said, it
remains behind a default-off flag until the last few pieces are in
place, and full testing can be done.
Specific areas I'm looking at next:
- Improved comments and some code cleanup from reviews.
- SSAUpdater and enabling this pass inside the CGSCC pass manager.
- Some datastructure tuning and compile-time measurements.
- More aggressive FCA splitting and vector formation.
Many thanks to Duncan Sands for the thorough final review, as well as
Benjamin Kramer for lots of review during the process of writing this
pass, and Daniel Berlin for reviewing the data structures and algorithms
and general theory of the pass. Also, several other people on IRC, over
lunch tables, etc for lots of feedback and advice.

This is mostly documentation for the new machine model. It is designed
to be flexible, easy to incrementally refine for a subtarget, and
provide all the information that MachineScheduler will need.
If all goes well, I will follow up with an example of the new model in
use for ARM.
