Like several other loop passes (the vectorizer, etc) this pass doesn't
really fit the model of a loop pass. The critical distinction is that it
isn't intended to be pipelined together with other loop passes. I plan
to add some documentation to the loop pass manager to make this more
clear on that side.
LoopSink is also different because it doesn't really need a lot of the
infrastructure of our loop passes. For example, if there aren't loop
invariant instructions causing a preheader to exist, there is no need to
form a preheader. It also doesn't need LCSSA because this pass is
only involved in sinking invariant instructions from a preheader into
the loop, not reasoning about live-outs.
This allows some nice simplifications to the pass in the new PM where we
can directly walk the loops once without restructuring them.

Summary:
In case of non-alloca pointers, we check for whether it is a pointer
from malloc-like calls and it is not captured. In such case, we can
promote the pointer, as the caller will have no way to access this pointer
even if there is unwinding in middle of the loop.

Promotion is always legal when a store within the loop is guaranteed to execute.
However, this is not a necessary condition - for promotion to be memory model
semantics-preserving, it is enough to have a store that dominates every exit
block. This is because if the store dominates every exit block, the fact the
exit block was executed implies the original store was executed as well.

The pass creates some state which expects to be cleaned up by
a later instance of the same pass. opt-bisect happens to expose
this not ideal design because calling skipLoop() will result in
this state not being cleaned up at times and an assertion firing
in `doFinalization()`. Chandler tells me the new pass manager will
give us options to avoid these design traps, but until it's not ready,
we need a workaround for the current pass infrastructure. Fix provided

Summary:
This change adds some verification in the IR verifier around struct path
TBAA metadata.
Other than some basic sanity checks (e.g. we get constant integers where
we expect constant integers), this checks:
- That by the time an struct access tuple `(base-type, offset)` is
"reduced" to a scalar base type, the offset is `0`. For instance, in
C++ you can't start from, say `("struct-a", 16)`, and end up with
`("int", 4)` -- by the time the base type is `"int"`, the offset
better be zero. In particular, a variant of this invariant is needed
for `llvm::getMostGenericTBAA` to be correct.
- That there are no cycles in a struct path.
- That struct type nodes have their offsets listed in an ascending
order.
- That when generating the struct access path, you eventually reach the
access type listed in the tbaa tag node.

Summary: LICM may hoist instructions to preheader speculatively. Before code generation, we need to sink down the hoisted instructions inside to loop if it's beneficial.

This change teaches llvm::isGuaranteedToTransferExecutionToSuccessor
that calls to @llvm.assume always terminate. Most other relevant
intrinsics should be covered by the "CS.onlyReadsMemory() ||
CS.onlyAccessesArgMemory()" bit but we were missing @llvm.assumes
because we state that it clobbers memory.
Added an LICM test case, but this change is not specific to LICM.
llvm-svn: 272703
Summary:
Make isGuaranteedToExecute use the
isGuaranteedToTransferExecutionToSuccessor helper, and make that helper
a bit more accurate.
There's a potential performance impact here from assuming that arbitrary
calls might not return. This probably has little impact on loads and
stores to a pointer because most things alias analysis can reason about
are dereferenceable anyway. The other impacts, like less aggressive
hoisting of sdiv by a variable and less aggressive hoisting around
volatile memory operations, are unlikely to matter for real code.
This also impacts SCEV, which uses the same helper. It's a minor
improvement there because we can tell that, for example, memcpy always
returns normally. Strictly speaking, it's also introducing
a bug, but it's not any worse than everywhere else we assume readonly
functions terminate.

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.

Floating point intrinsics in LLVM are generally not speculatively
executed, since most of them are defined to behave the same as libm
functions, which set errno.
However, the only error that can happen when executing ceil, floor,
nearbyint, rint and round libm functions per POSIX.1-2001 is -ERANGE,
and that requires the maximum value of the exponent to be smaller
than the number of mantissa bits, which is not the case with any of
the floating point types supported by LLVM.
The trunc and copysign functions never set errno per per POSIX.1-2001.

This patch teaches LICM's implementation of store promotion to exploit the fact that the memory location being accessed might be provable thread local. The fact it's thread local weakens the requirements for where we can insert stores since no other thread can observe the write. This allows us perform store promotion even in cases where the store is not guaranteed to execute in the loop.
Two key assumption worth drawing out is that this assumes a) no-capture is strong enough to imply no-escape, and b) standard allocation functions like malloc, calloc, and operator new return values which can be assumed not to have previously escaped.
In future work, it would be nice to generalize this so that it works without directly seeing the allocation site. I believe that the nocapture return attribute should be suitable for this purpose, but haven't investigated carefully. It's also likely that we could support unescaped allocas with similar reasoning, but since SROA and Mem2Reg should destroy those, they're less interesting than they first might seem.

merged into a loop that was subsequently unrolled (or otherwise nuked).
In this case it can't merge in the ASTs for any remaining nested loops,
it needs to re-add their instructions dircetly.
The fix is very isolated, but I've pulled the code for merging blocks
into the AST into a single place in the process. The only behavior
change is in the case which would have crashed before.
This fixes a crash reported by Mikael Holmen on the list after r261316
restored much of the loop pass pipelining and allowed us to actually do
this kind of nested transformation sequenc. I've taken that test case
and further reduced it into the somewhat twisty maze of loops in the
included test case. This does in fact trigger the bug even in this
reduced form.
llvm-svn: 262108
Summary:
If the instruction we're hoisting out of a loop into its preheader is
guaranteed to have executed in the loop, then the metadata associated
with the instruction (e.g. !range or !dereferenceable) is valid in the
preheader. This is because once we're in the preheader, we know we're
eventually going to reach the location the metadata was valid at.
This change makes LICM smarter around this, and helps it recognize cases
like these:
```
do {
int a = *ptr; !range !0
...
} while (i++ < N);
```
to
```
int a = *ptr; !range !0
do {
...
} while (i++ < N);
```
Earlier we'd drop the `!range` metadata after hoisting the load from
`ptr`.

We know that an argmemonly function can only access memory pointed to by it's pointer arguments. Rather than needing to consider all possible stores as aliasing (as we do for a readonly function), we can only consider the aliasing of the pointer arguments.
Note that this change only addresses hoisting. I'm thinking about how to address speculation safety as well, but that will be a different change.
FYI, argmemonly disallows accessing memory through non-pointer typed arguments.

with the new pass manager, and no longer relying on analysis groups.
This builds essentially a ground-up new AA infrastructure stack for
LLVM. The core ideas are the same that are used throughout the new pass
manager: type erased polymorphism and direct composition. The design is
as follows:
- FunctionAAResults is a type-erasing alias analysis results aggregation
interface to walk a single query across a range of results from
different alias analyses. Currently this is function-specific as we
always assume that aliasing queries are *within* a function.
- AAResultBase is a CRTP utility providing stub implementations of
various parts of the alias analysis result concept, notably in several
cases in terms of other more general parts of the interface. This can
be used to implement only a narrow part of the interface rather than
the entire interface. This isn't really ideal, this logic should be
hoisted into FunctionAAResults as currently it will cause
a significant amount of redundant work, but it faithfully models the
behavior of the prior infrastructure.
- All the alias analysis passes are ported to be wrapper passes for the
legacy PM and new-style analysis passes for the new PM with a shared
result object. In some cases (most notably CFL), this is an extremely
naive approach that we should revisit when we can specialize for the
new pass manager.
- BasicAA has been restructured to reflect that it is much more
fundamentally a function analysis because it uses dominator trees and
loop info that need to be constructed for each function.
All of the references to getting alias analysis results have been
updated to use the new aggregation interface. All the preservation and
other pass management code has been updated accordingly.
The way the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass works is to detect the
available alias analyses when run, and add them to the results object.
This means that we should be able to continue to respect when various
passes are added to the pipeline, for example adding CFL or adding TBAA
passes should just cause their results to be available and to get folded
into this. The exception to this rule is BasicAA which really needs to
be a function pass due to using dominator trees and loop info. As
a consequence, the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass directly depends on
BasicAA and always includes it in the aggregation.
This has significant implications for preserving analyses. Generally,
most passes shouldn't bother preserving FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass
because rebuilding the results just updates the set of known AA passes.
The exception to this rule are LoopPass instances which need to preserve
all the function analyses that the loop pass manager will end up
needing. This means preserving both BasicAAWrapperPass and the
aggregating FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass.
Now, when preserving an alias analysis, you do so by directly preserving
that analysis. This is only necessary for non-immutable-pass-provided
alias analyses though, and there are only three of interest: BasicAA,
GlobalsAA (formerly GlobalsModRef), and SCEVAA. Usually BasicAA is
preserved when needed because it (like DominatorTree and LoopInfo) is
marked as a CFG-only pass. I've expanded GlobalsAA into the preserved
set everywhere we previously were preserving all of AliasAnalysis, and
I've added SCEVAA in the intersection of that with where we preserve
SCEV itself.
One significant challenge to all of this is that the CGSCC passes were
actually using the alias analysis implementations by taking advantage of
a pretty amazing set of loop holes in the old pass manager's analysis
management code which allowed analysis groups to slide through in many
cases. Moving away from analysis groups makes this problem much more
obvious. To fix it, I've leveraged the flexibility the design of the new
PM components provides to just directly construct the relevant alias
analyses for the relevant functions in the IPO passes that need them.
This is a bit hacky, but should go away with the new pass manager, and
is already in many ways cleaner than the prior state.
Another significant challenge is that various facilities of the old
alias analysis infrastructure just don't fit any more. The most
significant of these is the alias analysis 'counter' pass. That pass
relied on the ability to snoop on AA queries at different points in the
analysis group chain. Instead, I'm planning to build printing
functionality directly into the aggregation layer. I've not included
that in this patch merely to keep it smaller.
Note that all of this needs a nearly complete rewrite of the AA
documentation. I'm planning to do that, but I'd like to make sure the
new design settles, and to flesh out a bit more of what it looks like in
the new pass manager first.

As a follow-up to r246098, require `DISubprogram` definitions
(`isDefinition: true`) to be 'distinct'. Specifically, add an assembler
check, a verifier check, and bitcode upgrading logic to combat testcase
bitrot after the `DIBuilder` change.
While working on the testcases, I realized that
test/Linker/subprogram-linkonce-weak-odr.ll isn't relevant anymore. Its
purpose was to check for a corner case in PR22792 where two subprogram
definitions match exactly and share the same metadata node. The new
verifier check, requiring that subprogram definitions are 'distinct',
precludes that possibility.
I updated almost all the IR with the following script:
git grep -l -E -e '= !DISubprogram\(.* isDefinition: true' |
grep -v test/Bitcode |
xargs sed -i '' -e 's/= \(!DISubprogram(.*, isDefinition: true\)/= distinct \1/'

Since r241097, `DIBuilder` has only created distinct `DICompileUnit`s.
The backend is liable to start relying on that (if it hasn't already),
so make uniquable `DICompileUnit`s illegal and automatically upgrade old
bitcode. This is a nice cleanup, since we can remove an unnecessary
`DenseSet` (and the associated uniquing info) from `LLVMContextImpl`.
Almost all the testcases were updated with this script:
git grep -e '= !DICompileUnit' -l -- test |
grep -v test/Bitcode |
xargs sed -i '' -e 's,= !DICompileUnit,= distinct !DICompileUnit,'
I imagine something similar should work for out-of-tree testcases.

set the tag to `DW_TAG_formal_parameter` instead of `DW_TAG_variable`
(as appropriate), instead of having that logic magically in the backend
in `DbgVariable`. I've added a FIXME to that effect.)
