Due to the genericValueTraversal we might visit values for which we did
not create an AAValueConstantRange object, e.g., as they are behind a
PHI or select or call with `returned` argument. As a consequence we need
to validate the types as we are about to query AAValueConstantRange for
operands.
We used coarse-grained liveness before, thus we looked if the
instruction was executed, but we did not use fine-grained liveness,
hence if the instruction was needed or could be deleted even if the
surrounding ones are live. This patches introduces this level of
liveness checks together with other liveness queries, e.g., for uses.
For more control we enforce that all liveness queries go through the
Attributor.
Test have been adjusted to reflect the changes or augmented to prevent
deletion of the parts we want to check.

If we have a replacement for a value, via AAValueSimplify, the original
value will lose all its uses. Thus, as long as a value is simplified we
can skip the uses in checkForAllUses, given that these uses are
transitive uses for the simplified version and will therefore affect the
simplified version as necessary.
Since this allowed us to remove calls without side-effects and a known
return value, we need to make sure not to eliminate `musttail` calls.
Those we keep around, or later remove the entire `musttail` call chain.
We relied on wouldInstructionBeTriviallyDead before but that functions
does not take assumed information, especially for calls, into account.
The replacement, AAIsDead::isAssumeSideEffectFree, does.
This change makes AAIsDeadCallSiteReturn more complex as we can have
a dead call or only dead users.
The test have been modified to include a side effect where there was
none in order to keep the coverage.

Update test scripts were limited because they performed a single action
on the entire file and if that action was controlled by arguments, like
the one introduced in D68819, there was no record of it.
This patch introduces the capability of changing the arguments passed to
the script "on-the-fly" while processing a test file. In addition, an
"on/off" switch was added so that processing can be disabled for parts
of the file where the content is simply copied. The last extension is a
record of the invocation arguments in the auto generated NOTE. These
arguments are also picked up in a subsequent invocation, allowing
updates with special options enabled without user interaction.
To change the arguments the string `UTC_ARGS:` has to be present in a
line, followed by "additional command line arguments". That is
everything that follows `UTC_ARGS:` will be added to a growing list
of "command line arguments" which is reparsed after every update.

The changeXXXAfterManifest functions are better suited to deal with
changes so we should prefer them. These functions also recursively
delete dead instructions which is why we see test changes.
This is a minimal but important advancement over the existing code. A
cast with an operand that is only used in the cast retains the no-alias
property of the operand.
Traversing PHI nodes is natural with the genericValueTraversal but also
a bit tricky. The problem is similar to the ones we have seen in AAAlign
and AADereferenceable, namely that we continue to increase the range in
each iteration. We use a pessimistic approach here to stop the
iterations. Nevertheless, optimistic information can now be propagated
through a PHI node.
The change is performed as stated by the FIXME and the tests are
adjusted. All changes look fine to me and values can be inferred as
undef without it being an error.
Casts can be handled natively by the ConstantRange class. We do limit it
to extends for now as we assume an integer type in different locations.
A TODO and a test case with a FIXME was added to remove that restriction
in the future.
In addition to the module pass, this patch introduces a CGSCC pass that
runs the Attributor on a strongly connected component of the call graph
(both old and new PM). The Attributor was always design to be used on a
subset of functions which makes this patch mostly mechanical.
The one change is that we give up `norecurse` deduction in the module
pass in favor of doing it during the CGSCC pass. This makes the
interfaces simpler but can be revisited if needed.

If all call sites are in `norecurse` functions we can derive `norecurse`

A pointer is privatizeable if it can be replaced by a new, private one.
Privatizing pointer reduces the use count, interaction between unrelated
code parts. This is a first step towards replacing argument promotion.
While we can already handle recursion (unlike argument promotion!) we
are restricted to stack allocations for now because we do not analyze
the uses in the callee.

If we invalidate an attribute we need to inform all dependent ones even
if the fixpoint state is not invalid. Before we only continued
invalidation if the fixpoint state was invalid, now we signal a change
in case the fixpoint state is valid.
The test case was already included in D71620 but the problem was hiding
because it only manifested with the old PM (for that input).
This patch modularizes the way we check for no-alias call site arguments
by putting the existing logic into helper functions. The reasoning was
not changed but special cases for readonly/readnone were added.
If `null` is not defined we cannot access it, hence the pointer is
`noalias`. While this is not helpful on it's own it simplifies later
deductions that can skip over already known `noalias` pointers in
certain situations.
When we use information only to short-cut deduction or improve it, we
can use OPTIONAL dependences instead of REQUIRED ones to avoid cascading
pessimistic fixpoints.
We also need to track dependences only when we use assumed information,
e.g., we act on assumed liveness information.
When we follow uses, e.g., in AAMemoryBehavior or AANoCapture, we need
to make sure the value is a pointer before we ask for abstract
attributes only valid for pointers. This happens because we follow
pointers through calls that do not capture but may return the value.
Summary:
New `@test13` in `Attributor/align.ll` is the main motivation - `null` pointer
really does not limit our alignment knowledge, in fact it is fully aligned
since it has no bits set.
Here we don't special-case `null` pointer because it is somewhat controversial
to add one more place where we enforce that `null` pointer is zero,
but instead we do the more general thing of trying to perform constant-fold
of pointer constant to an integer, and perform alignment inferrment on that.

Summary:
This patch introduces `AAValueConstantRange`, which answers a possible range for integer value in a specific program point.
One of the motivations is propagating existing `range` metadata. (I think we need to change the situation that `range` metadata cannot be put to Argument).
The state is a tuple of `ConstantRange` and it is initialized to (known, assumed) = ([-∞, +∞], empty).
Currently, AAValueConstantRange is created in `getAssumedConstant` method when `AAValueSimplify` returns `nullptr`(worst state).
Supported
- BinaryOperator(add, sub, ...)
- CmpInst(icmp eq, ...)
- !range metadata
`AAValueConstantRange` is not intended to extend to polyhedral range value analysis.

When we replace instructions with unreachable we delete instructions. We
now avoid dangling pointers to those deleted instructions in the
`ToBeChangedToUnreachableInsts` set. Other modification collections
might need to be updated in the future as well.
If we replace a function with a new one because we rewrite the
signature, dead users may still refer to the old version. With this
patch we reuse the code that deals with dead functions, which the old
versions are, to avoid problems.
An inbounds GEP results in poison if the value is not "inbounds", not in
UB. We accidentally derived nonnull and dereferenceable from these
inbounds GEPs even in the absence of accesses that would make the poison
to UB.

As a first, very simple, use case, we remove unused arguments. A second

well.
A lot of the code and ideas are taken from argument promotion and we

Since the information is known we can simply use it at the call site.
This is especially useful for callbacks but also helps regular calls.
The test changes are mechanical.
This is the second step after D67871 to make use of abstract call sites.
In this patch the argument we associate with a abstract call site
argument can be the one in the callback callee instead of the one in the
callback broker.
Caveat: We cannot allow no-alias arguments for problematic callbacks:
As described in [1], adding no-alias (or restrict) to arguments could
break synchronization as the synchronization effect, e.g., a barrier,
does not "alias" with the pointer anymore. This disables no-alias
annotation for potentially problematic arguments until we implement the
fix described in [1].

At this point this handles simple UB branches in the form: `br i1 undef, ...`
We query `AAValueSimplify` to get a value for the branch condition, so the branch

We basically use `checkForAllInstructions` to loop through all the instructions in a function that access memory through a pointer: load, store, atomicrmw, atomiccmpxchg
Note that we can now use the `getPointerOperand()` that gets us the pointer operand for an instruction that belongs to the aforementioned set.
Question: This function returns `nullptr` if the instruction is `volatile`. Why?
Guess: Because if it is volatile, we don't want to do any transformation to it.
Another subtle point is that I had to add AtomicRMW, AtomicCmpXchg to `initializeInformationCache()`. Following `checkAllInstructions()` path, that
seemed the most reasonable place to add it and correct the fact that these instructions were ignored (they were not in `OpcodeInstMap` etc.). Is that ok?
