Constant hoisting may have hidden a constant behind a bitcast so that
it isn't folded into its users. However, this prevents BPI from
calculating some of its heuristics that are based upon constant
values. So, I've added a simple helper function to look through these
casts.

This is the biggest remaining chunk of the usage of `getTerminator()`
that insists on the narrow type and so is an easy batch of updates.
Several files saw more extensive updates where this would cascade to
requiring API updates within the file to use `Instruction` instead of
`TerminatorInst`. All of these were trivial in nature (pervasively using
`Instruction` instead just worked).

Currently the loop branch heuristic is applied before the invoke heuristic which makes us overestimate the probability of the unwind destination of invokes inside loops. This in turn makes us grossly underestimate the frequencies of loops with invokes.

Going through the Constant methods requires redetermining that the Constant is a ConstantInt and then calling isZero/isOne/isMinusOne.
llvm-svn: 307292
The zero heuristic assumes that integers are more likely positive than negative,
but this also has the effect of assuming that strcmp return values are more
likely positive than negative. Given that for nonzero strcmp return values it's
the ordering of arguments that determines the sign of the result there's no
reason to assume that's true.
Fix this by inspecting the LHS of the compare and using TargetLibraryInfo to
decide if it's strcmp-like, and if so only assume that nonzero is more likely
than zero i.e. strings are more often different than the same. This causes a
slight code generation change in the spec2006 benchmark 403.gcc, but with no
noticeable performance impact. The intent of this patch is to allow better

The probability of edge coming to unreachable block should be as low as possible.
The change reduces the probability to minimal value greater than zero.
The bug https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32214 show the example when
the probability of edge coming to unreachable block is greater than for edge
coming to out of the loop and it causes incorrect loop rotation.
Please note that with this change the behavior of unreachable heuristic is a bit different
than others. Specifically, before this change the sum of probabilities
coming to unreachable blocks have the same weight for all branches
(it was just split over all edges of this block coming to unreachable blocks).
With this change it might be slightly different but not to much due to probability of
taken branch to unreachable block is really small.

This is a follow up patch for https://reviews.llvm.org/rL300440
to address a comment.
To make implementation to be consistent with other cases we just
ignore the remainder after distribution of remaining probability between
reachable edges.
If we reduced the probability of some edges coming to unreachable
blocks we should distribute the remaining part across other edges
coming to reachable blocks to satisfy the condition that sum of all
probabilities should be equal to one. If this remaining part is not
divided by number of "reachable" edges then we get this remainder.
This remainder probability should be pretty small. Other cases just ignore
if the sum of probabilities is not equal to one so we do the same.

Metadata potentially is more precise than any heuristics we use, so
it makes sense to use first metadata info if it is available. However it makes
sense to examine it against other strong heuristics like unreachable one.
If edge coming to unreachable block has higher probability then it is expected
by unreachable heuristic then we use heuristic and remaining probability is
distributed among other reachable blocks equally.
An example where metadata might be more strong then unreachable heuristic is
as follows: it is possible that there are two branches and for the branch A
metadata says that its probability is (0, 2^25). For the branch B
the probability is (1, 2^25).
So the expectation is that first edge of B is hotter than first edge of A
because first edge of A did not executed at least once.
If first edge of A points to the unreachable block then using the unreachable
heuristics we'll set the probability for A to (1, 2^20) and now edge of A
becomes hotter than edge of B.
This is unexpected behavior.

analyses to have a common type which is enforced rather than using
a char object and a `void *` type when used as an identifier.
This has a number of advantages. First, it at least helps some of the
confusion raised in Justin Lebar's code review of why `void *` was being
used everywhere by having a stronger type that connects to documentation
about this.
However, perhaps more importantly, it addresses a serious issue where
the alignment of these pointer-like identifiers was unknown. This made
it hard to use them in pointer-like data structures. We were already
dodging this in dangerous ways to create the "all analyses" entry. In
a subsequent patch I attempted to use these with TinyPtrVector and
things fell apart in a very bad way.
And it isn't just a compile time or type system issue. Worse than that,
the actual alignment of these pointer-like opaque identifiers wasn't
guaranteed to be a useful alignment as they were just characters.
This change introduces a type to use as the "key" object whose address
forms the opaque identifier. This both forces the objects to have proper
alignment, and provides type checking that we get it right everywhere.
It also makes the types somewhat less mysterious than `void *`.
We could go one step further and introduce a truly opaque pointer-like
type to return from the `ID()` static function rather than returning
`AnalysisKey *`, but that didn't seem to be a clear win so this is just
the initial change to get to a reliably typed and aligned object serving
is a key for all the analyses.
Thanks to Richard Smith and Justin Lebar for helping pick plausible
names and avoid making this refactoring many times. =] And thanks to
Sean for the super fast review!
While here, I've tried to move away from the "PassID" nomenclature
entirely as it wasn't really helping and is overloaded with old pass
manager constructs. Now we have IDs for analyses, and key objects whose
address can be used as IDs. Where possible and clear I've shortened this
to just "ID". In a few places I kept "AnalysisID" to make it clear what
was being identified.

Remove implicit ilist iterator conversions from LLVMAnalysis.
I came across something really scary in `llvm::isKnownNotFullPoison()`
which relied on `Instruction::getNextNode()` being completely broken
(not surprising, but scary nevertheless). This function is documented
(and coded to) return `nullptr` when it gets to the sentinel, but with
an `ilist_half_node` as a sentinel, the sentinel check looks into some
other memory and we don't recognize we've hit the end.
Rooting out these scary cases is the reason I'm removing the implicit
conversions before doing anything else with `ilist`; I'm not at all
surprised that clients rely on badness.
I found another scary case -- this time, not relying on badness, just
bad (but I guess getting lucky so far) -- in
`ObjectSizeOffsetEvaluator::compute_()`. Here, we save out the
insertion point, do some things, and then restore it. Previously, we
let the iterator auto-convert to `Instruction*`, and then set it back
using the `Instruction*` version:
Instruction *PrevInsertPoint = Builder.GetInsertPoint();
/* Logic that may change insert point */
if (PrevInsertPoint)
Builder.SetInsertPoint(PrevInsertPoint);
The check for `PrevInsertPoint` doesn't protect correctly against bad
accesses. If the insertion point has been set to the end of a basic
block (i.e., `SetInsertPoint(SomeBB)`), then `GetInsertPoint()` returns
an iterator pointing at the list sentinel. The version of
`SetInsertPoint()` that's getting called will then call
`PrevInsertPoint->getParent()`, which explodes horribly. The only
reason this hasn't blown up is that it's fairly unlikely the builder is
adding to the end of the block; usually, we're adding instructions
somewhere before the terminator.

Summary:
This addresses PR 22718. When branch weights are too large, they were
being clamped to the range [1, MaxWeightForBB]. But this clamping is
only applied to edges that go outside the range, so it distorts the
relative branch probabilities.
This patch changes the weight calculation to scale every branch so the
relative probabilities are preserved. The scaling is done differently
now. First, all the branch weights are added up, and if the sum exceeds
32 bits, it computes an integer scale to bring all the weights within
the range.
The patch fixes an existing test that had slightly wrong branch
probabilities due to the previous clamping. It now gets branch weights
scaled accordingly.

Summary:
When computing branch weights in BPI, we used to disallow branches with
weight 0. This is a minor nuisance, because a branch with weight 0 is
different to "don't have information". In the context of
instrumentation, it may mean "never executed", in the context of
sampling, it means "never or seldom executed".
In allowing 0 weight branches, I ran into issues with the switch
expansion code in selection DAG. It is currently hardwired to not handle
branches with weight 0. To maintain the current behaviour, I changed it
to use 1 when it finds 0, but perhaps the algorithm needs changes to
tolerate branches with weight zero.
