Specifically:
1. Added checks that unwind is being properly added to various instructions.
2. Fixed the declaration/calling of objc_release to have a return type of void.
3. Moved all checks to precede the functions and added checks to ensure that the
checks would only match inside the specific function that we are attempting to
check.

This occurs due to an alloca representing a separate ownership from the
original pointer. Thus consider the following pseudo-IR:
objc_retain(%a)
for (...) {
objc_retain(%a)
%block <- %a
F(%block)
objc_release(%block)
}
objc_release(%a)
From the perspective of the optimizer, the %block is a separate
provenance from the original %a. Thus the optimizer pairs up the inner
retain for %a and the outer release from %a, resulting in segfaults.
This is fixed by noting that the signature of a mismatch of
retain/releases inside the for loop is a Use/CanRelease top down with an
None bottom up (since bottom up the Retain-CanRelease-Use-Release
sequence is completed by the inner objc_retain, but top down due to the
differing provenance from the objc_release said sequence is not
completed). In said case in CheckForCFGHazards, we now clear the state
of %a implying that no pairing will occur.
Additionally a test case is included.

The normal dataflow sequence in the ARC optimizer consists of the following
states:
Retain -> CanRelease -> Use -> Release
The optimizer before this patch stored the uses that determine the lifetime of
the retainable object pointer when it bottom up hits a retain or when top down
it hits a release. This is correct for an imprecise lifetime scenario since what
we are trying to do is remove retains/releases while making sure that no
``CanRelease'' (which is usually a call) deallocates the given pointer before we
get to the ``Use'' (since that would cause a segfault).
If we are considering the precise lifetime scenario though, this is not
correct. In such a situation, we *DO* care about the previous sequence, but
additionally, we wish to track the uses resulting from the following incomplete
sequences:
Retain -> CanRelease -> Release (TopDown)
Retain <- Use <- Release (BottomUp)
*NOTE* This patch looks large but the most of it consists of updating
test cases. Additionally this fix exposed an additional bug. I removed
the test case that expressed said bug and will recommit it with the fix
in a little bit.
llvm-svn: 178921
The semantics of ARC implies that a pointer passed into an objc_autorelease
must live until some point (potentially down the stack) where an
autorelease pool is popped. On the other hand, an
objc_autoreleaseReturnValue just signifies that the object must live
until the end of the given function at least.
Thus objc_autorelease is stronger than objc_autoreleaseReturnValue in
terms of the semantics of ARC* implying that performing the given
strength reduction without any knowledge of how this relates to
the autorelease pool pop that is further up the stack violates the
semantics of ARC.
*Even though objc_autoreleaseReturnValue if you know that no RV
optimization will occur is more computationally expensive.
llvm-svn: 178612
Specifically, objc-arc-expand will make sure that the
objc_retainAutoreleasedReturnValue, objc_autoreleaseReturnValue, and ret
will all have %call as an argument.
llvm-svn: 178382
clang.arc.used is an interesting call for ARC since ObjCARCContract
needs to run to remove said intrinsic to avoid a linker error (since the
call does not exist).
llvm-svn: 178369
Since we handle optimizable objc_retainBlocks through strength reduction
in OptimizableIndividualCalls, we know that all code after that point
will only see non-optimizable objc_retainBlock calls. IsForwarding is
only called by functions after that point, so it is ok to just classify
objc_retainBlock as non-forwarding.
<rdar://problem/13249661>.
llvm-svn: 178285
If an objc_retainBlock has the copy_on_escape metadata attached to it
AND if the block pointer argument only escapes down the stack, we are
allowed to strength reduce the objc_retainBlock to to an objc_retain and
thus optimize it.
Current there is logic in the ARC data flow analysis to handle
this case which is complicated and involved making distinctions in
between objc_retainBlock and objc_retain in certain places and
considering them the same in others.
This patch simplifies said code by:
1. Performing the strength reduction in the initial ARC peephole
analysis (ObjCARCOpts::OptimizeIndividualCalls).
2. Changes the ARC dataflow analysis (which runs after the peephole
analysis) to consider all objc_retainBlock calls to not be optimizable
(since if the call was optimizable, we would have strength reduced it
already).
This patch leaves in the infrastructure in the ARC dataflow analysis to
handle this case, which due to 2 will just be dead code. I am doing this
on purpose to separate the removal of the old code from the testing of
the new code.
<rdar://problem/13249661>.

The test was removed since I had not turned off the test during release
builds. This fails since ARC annotations support is conditionally
compiled out during release builds. I added the proper requires header
to assuage this issue.
llvm-svn: 178101
This will allow for verification and analysis of the merge function of
the data flow analyses in the ARC optimizer.
The actual implementation of this feature is by introducing calls to
the functions llvm.arc.annotation.{bottomup,topdown}.{bbstart,bbend}
which are only declared. Each such call takes in a pointer to a global
with the same name as the pointer whose provenance is being tracked and
a pointer whose name is one of our Sequence states and points to a
string that contains the same name.
To ensure that the optimizer does not consider these annotations in any
way, I made it so that the annotations are considered to be of IC_None
type.
A test case is included for this commit and the previous
ObjCARCAnnotation commit.

*NOTE* I verified that the original bug behind
dont-infinite-loop-during-block-escape-analysis.ll occurs when using opt on
retain-block-escape-analysis.ll.
llvm-svn: 177240
This test makes sure that the ObjCARC escape analysis looks at the uses of
instructions which copy the block pointer value by checking all four cases where
that can occur.

Listing all of the attributes for the callee of a call/invoke instruction is way
too much and makes the IR unreadable. Use references to attributes instead.
llvm-svn: 175877
The reason that this occurs is that tail calling objc_autorelease eventually
tail calls -[NSObject autorelease] which supports fast autorelease. This can
cause us to violate the semantic gaurantees of __autoreleasing variables that
assignment to an __autoreleasing variables always yields an object that is
placed into the innermost autorelease pool.
The fix included in this patch works by:
1. In the peephole optimization function OptimizeIndividualFunctions, always
remove tail call from objc_autorelease.
2. Whenever we convert to/from an objc_autorelease, set/unset the tail call
keyword as appropriate.
*NOTE* I also handled the case where objc_autorelease is converted in
OptimizeReturns to an autoreleaseRV which still violates the ARC semantics. I
will be removing that in a later patch and I wanted to make sure that the tree
is in a consistent state vis-a-vis ARC always.
Additionally some test cases are provided and all tests that have tail call marked
objc_autorelease keywords have been modified so that tail call has been removed.
*NOTE* One test fails due to a separate bug that I am going to commit soon. Thus
I marked the check line TMP: instead of CHECK: so make check does not fail.

same basic block, and it's not safe to insert code in the successor
blocks if the edges are critical edges. Splitting those edges is
possible, but undesirable, especially on the unwind side. Instead,
make the bottom-up code motion to consider invokes to be part of
their successor blocks, rather than part of their parent blocks, so
that it doesn't push code past them and onto the edges. This fixes
PR12307.
