For the start shortening optimization, always use a i8 type for
the GEP, as it is a raw offset calculation.
Handling of non-i8* memset/memcpy arguments requires insertion
of casts. These cases were previously miscompiled, as the offset
calculation was performed on the wrong type.
DSE will currently only remove stores in the same block unless they can
be guaranteed to be loop invariant. This expands that to any stores that
are in the same Loop, at the same loop level. This should still account
for where AA/MSSA will not handle aliasing between loops, but allow the
dead stores to be removed where they overlap in the same loop iteration.
It requires adding loop info to DSE, but that looks fairly harmless.
The test case this helps is from code like this, which can come up in
certain matrix operations:
for(i=..)
dst[i] = 0;
for(j=..)
dst[i] += src[i*n+j];
After LICM, this becomes:
for(i=..)
dst[i] = 0;
sum = 0;
for(j=..)
sum += src[i*n+j];
dst[i] = sum;
The first store is dead, and with this patch is now removed.

Remove the `nosync` attribute from the memory intrinsic definitions
(i.e. memset, memcpy, memmove).
Like native memory accesses, memory intrinsics can be volatile. This is
indicated by an immarg in the intrinsic call. All else equal, a volatile
memory intrinsic is `sync`, so we cannot annotate the intrinsic functions
themselves as `nosync`. The attributor and function-attr passes know to
take the volatile bit into account.
Since `nosync` is a default attribute, this means we have to stop using
the DefaultAttrIntrinsic tablegen class for memory intrinsics, and
specify all default attributes other than `nosync` explicitly.
Most of the test changes are trivial churn, but one test case
(in nosync.ll) was in fact incorrect before this change.

This moves the isOverwrite function into the DSEState so that it can
share the analyses and members from the state.
A few extra loop tests were also added to test stores in and around
multi block loops for D100464.
Solves PR11896
As noted, this can be improved futher (calloc -> malloc) in some cases. But for know, this is the first step.

I think byval/sret and the others are close to being able to rip out
the code to support the missing type case. A lot of this code is
shared with inalloca, so catch this up to the others so that can
happen.
The isOverwrite function is making sure to identify if two stores
are fully overlapping and ideally we would like to identify all the
instances of OW_Complete as they'll yield possibly killable stores.
The current implementation is incapable of spotting instances where
the earlier store is offsetted compared to the later store, but
still fully overlapped. The limitation seems to lie on the
computation of the base pointers with the
GetPointerBaseWithConstantOffset API that often yields different
base pointers even if the stores are guaranteed to partially overlap
(e.g. the alias analysis is returning AliasResult::PartialAlias).
The patch relies on the offsets computed and cached by BatchAAResults
(available after D93529) to determine if the offsetted overlapping
is OW_Complete.

Currently DSE misses cases where the size is a non-const IR value, even
if they match. For example, this means that llvm.memcpy/llvm.memset
calls are not eliminated, even if they write the same number of bytes.
This patch extends isOverwite to try to get IR values for the number of
bytes written from the analyzed instructions. If the values match,
alias checks are performed and the result is returned.
At the moment this only covers llvm.memcpy/llvm.memset. In the future,
we may enable MemoryLocation to also track variable sizes, but this
simple approach should allow us to cover the important cases in DSE.

The MemorySSA-based implementation has been enabled without issue

seem useful anymore. This drops the MemDep-based implementation.

This is an attempt to improve handling of partial overlaps in case of unaligned begin\end.
Existing implementation just bails out if it encounters such cases. Even when it doesn't I believe existing code checking alignment constraints is not quite correct. It tries to ensure alignment of the "later" start/end offset while should be preserving relative alignment between earlier and later start/end.
The idea behind the change is simple. When start/end is not aligned as we wish instead of bailing out let's adjust it as necessary to get desired alignment.
I'll update with performance results as measured by the test-suite...it's still running...

The **IsGuaranteedLoopInvariant** function is making sure to check if the
incoming pointer is guaranteed to be loop invariant, therefore I think
the case where the pointer is defined in the entry block of a function
automatically guarantees the pointer to be loop invariant, as the entry
block of a function cannot have predecessors or be part of a loop.
I implemented this small patch and tested it using
**ninja check-llvm-unit** and **ninja check-llvm**. I added a contained test
file that shows the problem and used **opt -O3 -debug** on it to make sure
the case is not currently handled (in fact the debug log is showing that
the DSE pass is bailing out when testing if the killer store is able to
clobber the dead store).

With the addition of the `willreturn` attribute, functions that may
not return (e.g. due to an infinite loop) are well defined, if they are
not marked as `willreturn`.
This patch updates `wouldInstructionBeTriviallyDead` to not consider
calls that may not return as dead.
This patch still provides an escape hatch for intrinsics, which are
still assumed as willreturn unconditionally. It will be removed once
all intrinsics definitions have been reviewed and updated.

MSSA DSE starts at a killing store, finds an earlier store and
then checks that the earlier store is not read along any paths
(without being killed first). However, it uses the memory location
of the killing store for that, not the earlier store that we're
attempting to eliminate.
This has a number of problems:
* Mismatches between what BasicAA considers aliasing and what DSE
considers an overwrite (even though both are correct in isolation)
can result in miscompiles. This is PR48279, which D92045 tries to
fix in a different way. The problem is that we're using a location
from a store that is potentially not executed and thus may be UB,
in which case analysis results can be arbitrary.
* Metadata on the killing store may be used to determine aliasing,
but there is no guarantee that the metadata is valid, as the specific
killing store may not be executed. Using the metadata on the earlier
store is valid (it is the store we're removing, so on any execution
where its removal may be observed, it must be executed).
* The location is imprecise. For full overwrites the killing store
will always have a location that is larger or equal than the earlier
access location, so it's beneficial to use the earlier access
location. This is not the case for partial overwrites, in which
case either location might be smaller. There is some room for
improvement here.
Using the earlier access location means that we can no longer cache
which accesses are read for a given killing store, as we may be
querying different locations. However, it turns out that simply
dropping the cache has no notable impact on compile-time.

This patch updates DSE + MemorySSA to use the same check as the legacy
implementation to determine if a location is killed by a free call.
This changes the existing behavior so that a free does not kill
locations before the start of the freed pointer.
This should fix PR48036.
Currently isOverwrite returns OW_MaybePartial even for accesss known not to overlap. This is not a big problem for legacy implementation (since isPartialOverwrite follows isOverwrite and clarifies the result). Contrary SSA based version does a lot of work to later find out that accesses don't overlap. Besides negative impact on compile time we quickly reach MemorySSAPartialStoreLimit and miss optimization opportunities.
Note: In fact, I think it would be cleaner implementation if isOverwrite returned fully clarified result in the first place whithout need to call isPartialOverwrite. This can be done as a follow up. What do you think?

Currently we fail to eliminate some noop stores if there is a kill-able

that there are no (may)alias stores between the starting def and the
load and getClobberingMemoryAccess should guarantee that.
