Serguei Katkov ba831f78fd [BPI] Reduce the probability of unreachable edge to minimal value greater than 0
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.

Serguei Katkov 63c9c81152 [BPI] Ignore remainder while distributing the remaining probability from unreachanble
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.

Serguei Katkov 2616bbb16d [BPI] Use metadata info before any other heuristics
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.

This fixed the biggest part of https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32214

Serguei Katkov ecebc3db72 [BPI] Refactor post domination calculation and simple fix for ColdCall
Collection of PostDominatedByUnreachable and PostDominatedByColdCall have been
split out of heuristics itself. Update of the data happens now for each basic
block (before update for PostDominatedByColdCall might be skipped if
unreachable or matadata heuristic handled this basic block).

This separation allows re-ordering of heuristics without loosing
the post-domination information.

Chandler Carruth dab4eae274 [PM] Change the static object whose address is used to uniquely identify
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.

Cong Hou d97c100dc4 Replace all weight-based interfaces in MBB with probability-based interfaces, and update all uses of old interfaces.
(This is the second attempt to submit this patch. The first caused two assertion
 failures and was reverted. See https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25687)

The patch in http://reviews.llvm.org/D13745 is broken into four parts:

1. New interfaces without functional changes (http://reviews.llvm.org/D13908).
2. Use new interfaces in SelectionDAG, while in other passes treat probabilities
as weights (http://reviews.llvm.org/D14361).
3. Use new interfaces in all other passes.
4. Remove old interfaces.

This patch is 3+4 above. In this patch, MBB won't provide weight-based
interfaces any more, which are totally replaced by probability-based ones.
The interface addSuccessor() is redesigned so that the default probability is
unknown. We allow unknown probabilities but don't allow using it together
with known probabilities in successor list. That is to say, we either have a
list of successors with all known probabilities, or all unknown
probabilities. In the latter case, we assume each successor has 1/N
probability where N is the number of successors. An assertion checks if the
user is attempting to add a successor with the disallowed mixed use as stated
above. This can help us catch many misuses.

All uses of weight-based interfaces are now updated to use probability-based
ones.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 5a82c916b0 Analysis: Remove implicit ilist iterator conversions
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.

Diego Novillo de5b8016ab Fix information loss in branch probability computation.
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.

Diego Novillo 14f94de1ee Allow 0-weight branches in BranchProbabilityInfo.
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.

Daniel Jasper a73f3d51ac Re-apply r234898 and fix tests.
This commit makes LLVM not estimate branch probabilities when doing a
single bit bitmask tests.

The code that originally made me discover this is:

  if ((a & 0x1) == 0x1) {
    ..
  }

In this case we don't actually have any branch probability information
and should not assume to have any. LLVM transforms this into:

  %and = and i32 %a, 1
  %tobool = icmp eq i32 %and, 0

So, in this case, the result of a bitwise and is compared against 0,
but nevertheless, we should not assume to have probability
information.

CodeGen/ARM/2013-10-11-select-stalls.ll started failing because the
changed probabilities changed the results of
ARMBaseInstrInfo::isProfitableToIfCvt() and led to an Ifcvt of the
diamond in the test. AFAICT, the test was never meant to test this and
thus changing the test input slightly to not change the probabilities
seems like the best way to preserve the meaning of the test.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 5bf8fef580 IR: Split Metadata from Value
Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532.  Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.

I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`.  If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(.  Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it.  FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.

This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.

Here's a quick guide for updating your code:

  - `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
    `MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`.  It is distinct from
    the `Value` class hierarchy.  It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
    *not* have a `Type`.

  - `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).

  - `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
    replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.

    If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
    construction -- just use `MDNode*`.

  - `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
    `replaceAllUsesWith()`.

    As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
    result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
    uses and can RAUW itself.  Once the forward declarations are fully
    resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground.  This means that
    uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
    "distinct".  (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
    operand went to null.)

    If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
    you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
    top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes).  Also,
    don't do that.  Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
    construct them) are expensive.

  - An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
    `ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).

    As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
    to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
    `Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
    third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.

    The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
    metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
    the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
    `GlobalValue`s).

    In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
    namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
    avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
    site.  If your old code was:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(isa             <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(cast            <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(cast_or_null    <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(dyn_cast        <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

    you can trivially match its semantics with:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(mdconst::hasa               <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(mdconst::extract            <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(mdconst::extract_or_null    <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(mdconst::dyn_extract        <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

    and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(isa             <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(cast            <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(cast_or_null    <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(dyn_cast        <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

  - A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
    metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`.  This is a
    subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.

    `MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
    `LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
    like `Argument` and `Instruction`.  It can also refer to any other
    `Metadata` subclass.

(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

Akira Hatanaka 5638b89944 Fix a bug in which BranchProbabilityInfo wasn't setting branch weights of basic blocks inside loops correctly.
Previously, BranchProbabilityInfo::calcLoopBranchHeuristics would determine the weights of basic blocks inside loops even when it didn't have enough information to estimate the branch probabilities correctly. This patch fixes the function to exit early if it doesn't see any exit edges or back edges and let the later heuristics determine the weights.

This fixes PR18705 and <rdar://problem/15991090>.
