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.

This change extends the bitset lowering pass to support bitsets that may
contain either functions or global variables. A function bitset is lowered to
a jump table that is laid out before one of the functions in the bitset.
Also add support for non-string bitset identifier names. This allows for
distinct metadata nodes to stand in for names with internal linkage,

Summary:
This patch introduces a side table in Merge Functions to
efficiently remove functions from the function set when functions
they refer to are merged. Previously these functions would need to
be compared lg(N) times to find the appropriate FunctionNode in the
tree to defer. With the recent determinism changes, this comparison
is more expensive. In addition, the removal function would not always
actually remove the function from the set (i.e. after remove(F),
there would sometimes still be a node in the tree which contains F).
With these changes, these functions are properly deferred, and so more
functions can be merged. In addition, when there are many merged
functions (and thus more deferred functions), there is a speedup:
chromium: 48678 merged -> 49380 merged; 6.58s -> 5.49s
libxul.so: 41004 merged -> 41030 merged; 8.02s -> 6.94s
mysqld: 1607 merged -> 1607 merged (same); 0.215s -> 0.212s (probably noise)

Teach FunctionAttr to infer the nonnull attribute on return values of functions which never return a potentially null value. This is done both via a conservative local analysis for the function itself and a optimistic per-SCC analysis. If no function in the SCC returns anything which could be null (other than values from other functions in the SCC), we can conclude no function returned a null pointer. Even if some function within the SCC returns a null pointer, we may be able to locally conclude that some don't.

Summary:
This patch removes two remaining places where pointer value comparisons
are used to order functions: comparing range annotation metadata, and comparing
block address constants. (These are both rare cases, and so no actual
non-determinism was observed from either case).
The fix for range metadata is simple: the annotation always consists of a pair
of integers, so we just order by those integers.
The fix for block addresses is more subtle. Two constants are the same if they
are the same basic block in the same function, or if they refer to corresponding
basic blocks in each respective function. Note that in the first case, merging
is trivially correct. In the second, the correctness of merging relies on the
fact that the the values of block addresses cannot be compared. This change is
actually an enhancement, as these functions could not previously be merged (see
merge-block-address.ll).
There is still a problem with cross function block addresses, in that constants
pointing to a basic block in a merged function is not updated.
This also more robustly compares floating point constants by all fields of their
semantics, and fixes a dyn_cast/cast mixup.

The problem here were the function analyses invoked by the function pass
manager from the new IPO pass. I looked at other IPO passes needing
dominance information and the only one that requires it (partial
inliner) does not use the standard dependency mechanism.
This patch mimics what the partial inliner does to compute dominance,
post-dominance and loop info. One thing I like about this approach is
that I can delay the computation of all this until I actually need it.
This should bring the ASAN buildbot back to green. If there's a better
way to fix this, I'll do it in a follow-up patch.

Summary: When comparing basic blocks, there is an additional check that two Value*'s should have the same ID, which interferes with merging equivalent constants of different kinds (such as a ConstantInt and a ConstantPointerNull in the included testcase). The cmpValues function already ensures that the two values in each function are the same, so removing this check should not cause incorrect merging.
Also, the type comparison is redundant, based on reviewing the code and testing on the test suite and several large LTO bitcodes.

It doesn't solve the problem, when for example we load something, and
then assume that it is the same as some constant value, because
globalopt will fail on unknown load instruction. The proposed solution
would be to skip some instructions that we can't evaluate and they are

TL-DR: SROA is followed by EarlyCSE which requires the DominatorTree.
There is no reason not to require it up-front for SROA.
Some history is necessary to understand why we ended-up here.
r123437 switched the second (Legacy)SROA in the optimizer pipeline to
use SSAUpdater in order to avoid recomputing the costly
DominanceFrontier. The purpose was to speed-up the compile-time.
Later r123609 removed the need for the DominanceFrontier in
(Legacy)SROA.
Right after, some cleanup was made in r123724 to remove any reference
to the DominanceFrontier. SROA existed in two flavors: SROA_SSAUp and
SROA_DT (the latter replacing SROA_DF).
The second argument of `createScalarReplAggregatesPass` was renamed
from `UseDomFrontier` to `UseDomTree`.
I believe this is were a mistake was made. The pipeline was not
updated and the call site was still:
PM->add(createScalarReplAggregatesPass(-1, false));
At that time, SROA was immediately followed in the pipeline by
EarlyCSE which required alread the DominatorTree. Not requiring
the DominatorTree in SROA didn't save anything, but unfortunately
it was lost at this point.
When the new SROA Pass was introduced in r163965, I believe the goal
was to have an exact replacement of the existing SROA, this bug
slipped through.

llvm-svn: 245820
Summary:
Merge functions previously relied on unsigned comparisons of pointer values to
order functions. This caused observable non-determinism in the compiler for
large bitcode programs. Basically, opt -mergefuncs program.bc | md5sum produces
different hashes when run repeatedly on the same machine. Differing output was
observed on three large bitcodes, but it was less frequent on the smallest file.
It is possible that this only manifests on the large inputs, hence remaining
undetected until now.
This patch fixes this by removing (almost, see below) all places where
comparisons between pointers are used to order functions. Most of these changes
are local, but the comparison of global values requires assigning an identifier
to each local in the order it is visited. This is very similar to the way the
comparison function identifies Value*'s defined within a function. Because the
order of visiting the functions and their subparts is deterministic, the
identifiers assigned to the globals will be as well, and the order of functions
will be deterministic.
With these changes, there is no more observed non-determinism. There is also
only minor slowdowns (negligible to 4%) compared to the baseline, which is
likely a result of the fact that global comparisons involve hash lookups and not
just pointer comparisons.
The one caveat so far is that programs containing BlockAddress constants can
still be non-deterministic. It is not clear what the right solution is here. In
particular, even if the global numbers are used to order by function, we still
need a way to order the BasicBlock*'s. Unfortunately, we cannot just bail out
and fail to order the functions or consider them equal, because we require a
total order over functions. Note that programs with BlockAddress constants are
relatively rare, so the impact of leaving this in is minor as long as this pass
is opt-in.

folding the code into the main Analysis library.
There already wasn't much of a distinction between Analysis and IPA.
A number of the passes in Analysis are actually IPA passes, and there
doesn't seem to be any advantage to separating them.
Moreover, it makes it hard to have interactions between analyses that
are both local and interprocedural. In trying to make the Alias Analysis
infrastructure work with the new pass manager, it becomes particularly
awkward to navigate this split.

This patch makes the Merge Functions pass faster by calculating and comparing
a hash value which captures the essential structure of a function before
performing a full function comparison.
The hash is calculated by hashing the function signature, then walking the basic
blocks of the function in the same order as the main comparison function. The
opcode of each instruction is hashed in sequence, which means that different
functions according to the existing total order cannot have the same hash, as
the comparison requires the opcodes of the two functions to be the same order.
The hash function is a static member of the FunctionComparator class because it
is tightly coupled to the exact comparison function used. For example, functions
which are equivalent modulo a single variant callsite might be merged by a more
aggressive MergeFunctions, and the hash function would need to be insensitive to
these differences in order to exploit this.
The hashing function uses a utility class which accumulates the values into an
internal state using a standard bit-mixing function. Note that this is a different interface
than a regular hashing routine, because the values to be hashed are scattered
amongst the properties of a llvm::Function, not linear in memory. This scheme is
fast because only one word of state needs to be kept, and the mixing function is
a few instructions.
The main runOnModule function first computes the hash of each function, and only
further processes functions which do not have a unique function hash. The hash
is also used to order the sorted function set. If the hashes differ, their
values are used to order the functions, otherwise the full comparison is done.
Both of these are helpful in speeding up MergeFunctions. Together they result in
speedups of 9% for mysqld (a mostly C application with little redundancy), 46%
for libxul in Firefox, and 117% for Chromium. (These are all LTO builds.) In all
three cases, the new speed of MergeFunctions is about half that of the module
verifier, making it relatively inexpensive even for large LTO builds with
hundreds of thousands of functions. The same functions are merged, so this
change is free performance.

This introduces the basic functionality to support "token types".
The motivation stems from the need to perform operations on a Value
whose provenance cannot be obscured.
There are several applications for such a type but my immediate
motivation stems from WinEH. Our personality routine enforces a
single-entry - single-exit regime for cleanups. After several rounds of
optimizations, we may be left with a terminator whose "cleanup-entry
block" is not entirely clear because control flow has merged two
cleanups together. We have experimented with using labels as operands
inside of instructions which are not terminators to indicate where we
came from but found that LLVM does not expect such exotic uses of
BasicBlocks.
Instead, we can use this new type to clearly associate the "entry point"
and "exit point" of our cleanup. This is done by having the cleanuppad
yield a Token and consuming it at the cleanupret.
The token type makes it impossible to obscure or otherwise hide the
Value, making it trivial to track the relationship between the two
points.
What is the burden to the optimizer? Well, it turns out we have already
paid down this cost by accepting that there are certain calls that we
are not permitted to duplicate, optimizations have to watch out for
such instructions anyway. There are additional places in the optimizer
that we will probably have to update but early examination has given me
the impression that this will not be heroic.

Summary:
While working on a project I wound up generating a fairly large lookup table (10k entries) of callbacks inside of a static constructor. Clang was taking upwards of ~10 minutes to compile the lookup table. I generated a smaller test case (http://www.inolen.com/static_initializer_test.ll) that, after running with -ftime-report, pointed fingers at GlobalOpt and MemCpyOptimizer.
Running globalopt took around ~9 minutes. The slowdown came from how GlobalOpt merged stores from static constructors individually into the global initializer in EvaluateStaticConstructor. For each store it discovered and wanted to commit, it would copy the existing global initializer and then merge in the individual store. I changed this so that stores are now grouped by global, and sorted from most significant to least significant by their GEP indexes (e.g. a store to GEP 0, 0 comes before GEP 0, 0, 1). With this representation, the existing initializer can be copied and all new stores merged into it in a single pass.
With this patch and http://reviews.llvm.org/D11198, the lookup table that was taking ~10 minutes to compile now compiles in around 5 seconds. I've ran 'make check' and the test-suite, which all passed.

Internalizing an individual comdat group member without also internalizing
the other members of the comdat can break comdat semantics. For example,
if a module contains a reference to an internalized comdat member, and the

the reference to the internalized member.
This change causes the internalizer to only internalize comdat members if all
other members of the comdat are not externally visible. Once a comdat group
has been fully internalized, there is no need to apply comdat rules to its
members; later optimization passes (e.g. globaldce) can legally drop individual

Add new EliminateAvailableExternally module pass, which is performed in

This pass eliminates available externally globals (turning them into

we are guaranteed to have a copy available elsewhere at link time.
This enables additional opportunities for GlobalDCE.
If we are preparing for LTO (e.g. a -flto -c compile), the pass is not
included as we want to preserve available externally functions for possible
link time inlining. The FE indicates whether we are doing an -flto compile
via the new PrepareForLTO flag on the PassManagerBuilder.

It is possible for a global to be substituted with another global of a
different type or a different kind (i.e. an alias) at IR link time. One
example of this scenario is when a Microsoft ABI vtable is substituted with
an alias referring to a larger vtable containing an RTTI reference.
This will cause the global to be RAUW'd with a possibly bitcasted reference
to the other global. This will of course also affect any references to the
global in bitset metadata.
The right way to handle such metadata is simply to ignore it. This is sound
because the linked module should contain another copy of the bitset entries as
applied to the new global.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.

This patch adds the safe stack instrumentation pass to LLVM, which separates
the program stack into a safe stack, which stores return addresses, register
spills, and local variables that are statically verified to be accessed
in a safe way, and the unsafe stack, which stores everything else. Such
separation makes it much harder for an attacker to corrupt objects on the
safe stack, including function pointers stored in spilled registers and
return addresses. You can find more information about the safe stack, as
well as other parts of or control-flow hijack protection technique in our
OSDI paper on code-pointer integrity (http://dslab.epfl.ch/pubs/cpi.pdf)
and our project website (http://levee.epfl.ch).
The overhead of our implementation of the safe stack is very close to zero
(0.01% on the Phoronix benchmarks). This is lower than the overhead of
stack cookies, which are supported by LLVM and are commonly used today,
yet the security guarantees of the safe stack are strictly stronger than
stack cookies. In some cases, the safe stack improves performance due to
better cache locality.
Our current implementation of the safe stack is stable and robust, we
used it to recompile multiple projects on Linux including Chromium, and
we also recompiled the entire FreeBSD user-space system and more than 100
packages. We ran unit tests on the FreeBSD system and many of the packages
and observed no errors caused by the safe stack. The safe stack is also fully
binary compatible with non-instrumented code and can be applied to parts of
a program selectively.
This patch is our implementation of the safe stack on top of LLVM. The
patches make the following changes:
- Add the safestack function attribute, similar to the ssp, sspstrong and
sspreq attributes.
- Add the SafeStack instrumentation pass that applies the safe stack to all
functions that have the safestack attribute. This pass moves all unsafe local
variables to the unsafe stack with a separate stack pointer, whereas all
safe variables remain on the regular stack that is managed by LLVM as usual.
- Invoke the pass as the last stage before code generation (at the same time
the existing cookie-based stack protector pass is invoked).
- Add unit tests for the safe stack.

Lab at EPFL; updates and upstreaming by myself.

It is valid for globals to be unnamed, but aliases must have a name. To avoid
creating invalid IR, we need to assign names to any aliases we create that
point to unnamed objects that have been moved into combined globals.
llvm-svn: 239590
If the first argument to a function is a 'this' argument and the second
has the sret attribute, the ArgumentPromotion pass may promote the 'this'
argument to more than one argument, violating the IR constraint that 'sret'
may only be applied to the first or second argument.
Although this IR constraint is arguably unnecessary, it highlighted the fact
that ArgPromotion does not need to preserve this attribute. Dropping the
attribute reduces register pressure in the backend by avoiding the register
copy required by sret. Because sret implies noalias, we also replace the
former with the latter.

O2 compiles just before GlobalDCE, unless we are preparing for LTO.
This pass eliminates available externally globals (turning them into
declarations), regardless of whether they are dead/unreferenced, since
we are guaranteed to have a copy available elsewhere at link time.
This enables additional opportunities for GlobalDCE.
If we are preparing for LTO (e.g. a -flto -c compile), the pass is not
included as we want to preserve available externally functions for possible
link time inlining. The FE indicates whether we are doing an -flto compile
via the new PrepareForLTO flag on the PassManagerBuilder.

that was resetting it.
Remove the uses of DisableTailCalls in subclasses of TargetLowering and use
the value of function attribute "disable-tail-calls" instead. Also,
unconditionally add pass TailCallElim to the pipeline and check the function
attribute at the start of runOnFunction to disable the pass on a per-function
basis.
This is part of the work to remove TargetMachine::resetTargetOptions, and since
DisableTailCalls was the last non-fast-math option that was being reset in that
function, we should be able to remove the function entirely after the work to
propagate IR-level fast-math flags to DAG nodes is completed.
Out-of-tree users should remove the uses of DisableTailCalls and make changes
to attach attribute "disable-tail-calls"="true" or "false" to the functions in
the IR.

port it to the new pass manager.
All this does is extract the inner "location" class used by AA into its
own full fledged type. This seems *much* cleaner as MemoryDependence and
soon MemorySSA also use this heavily, and it doesn't make much sense
being inside the AA infrastructure.
This will also make it much easier to break apart the AA infrastructure
into something that stands on its own rather than using the analysis
group design.
There are a few places where this makes APIs not make sense -- they were
taking an AliasAnalysis pointer just to build locations. I'll try to
clean those up in follow-up commits.

Summary:
This implements the initial version as was proposed earlier this year
(http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-January/080462.html).
Since then Loop Access Analysis was split out from the Loop Vectorizer
and was made into a separate analysis pass. Loop Distribution becomes
the second user of this analysis.
The pass is off by default and can be enabled
with -enable-loop-distribution. There is currently no notion of
profitability; if there is a loop with dependence cycles, the pass will
try to split them off from other memory operations into a separate loop.
I decided to remove the control-dependence calculation from this first
version. This and the issues with the PDT are actively discussed so it
probably makes sense to treat it separately. Right now I just mark all
terminator instruction required which keeps identical CFGs for each
distributed loop. This seems to be working pretty well for 456.hmmer
where even though there is an empty if-then block in the distributed
loop initially, it gets completely removed.
The pass keeps DominatorTree and LoopInfo updated. I've tested this
with -loop-distribute-verify with the testsuite where we distribute ~90
loops. SimplifyLoop is violated in some cases and I have a FIXME
covering this.

Finish off PR23080 by renaming the debug info IR constructs from `MD*`

r235356, and the last of the related typedefs removed in r235413, so
this has all baked for about a week.
Note: If you have out-of-tree code (like a frontend), I recommend that
you get everything compiling and tests passing with the *previous*
commit before updating to this one. It'll be easier to keep track of
what code is using the `DIDescriptor` hierarchy and what you've already

that if you're updating out-of-tree code, `DIVariable` wraps
`MDLocalVariable` (`MDVariable` is a common base class shared with
`MDGlobalVariable`).
llvm-svn: 234840
The only difference between the two is a `dyn_cast<>` to
`GlobalVariable`. If optimizations have left anything behind when a
global gets replaced, then it doesn't seem like the debug info is dead.
I can't seem to find an optimization that would leave behind a
non-`GlobalVariable` without nulling the reference entirely, so I
haven't added a testcase (but I'll be deleting `getGlobal()` in a future

CallSite roughly behaves as a common base CallInst and InvokeInst. Bring
the behavior closer to that model by making upcasts explicit. Downcasts
remain implicit and work as before.
Following dyn_cast as a mental model checking whether a Value *V isa
CallSite now looks like this:
if (auto CS = CallSite(V)) // think dyn_cast
instead of:
if (CallSite CS = V)
This is an extra token but I think it is slightly clearer. Making the
ctor explicit has the advantage of not accidentally creating nullptr
CallSites, e.g. when you pass a Value * to a function taking a CallSite
argument.

Remove `DIDescriptor::Verify()` and the `Verify()`s from subclasses.
They had already been gutted, and just did an `isa<>` check.

The plan here is to push the API changes out from the common components

all the way there... but if you have the cahnce to update your callers

It is possible to have code that converts from integer to float, performs operations then converts back, and the result is provably the same as if integers were used.
This can come from different sources, but the most obvious is a helper function that uses floats but the arguments given at an inlined callsites are integers.
This pass considers all integers requiring a bitwidth less than or equal to the bitwidth of the mantissa of a floating point type (23 for floats, 52 for doubles) as exactly representable in floating point.
To reduce the risk of harming efficient code, the pass only attempts to perform complete removal of inttofp/fptoint operations, not just move them around.
llvm-svn: 233062
Remove `DebugInfoVerifierLegacyPass` and the `-verify-di` pass.
Instead, call into the `DebugInfoVerifier` from inside
`VerifierLegacyPass::finalizeModule()`. This better matches the logic
in `verifyModule()` (used by the new PassManager), avoids requiring two
separate passes to verify the IR, and makes the API for "add a pass to
verify the IR" simple.
Note: the `-verify-debug-info` flag still works (for now, at least;
eventually it might make sense to just remove it).

This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing

default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30

By loading from indexed offsets into a byte array and applying a mask, a
program can test bits from the bit set with a relatively short instruction
sequence. For example, suppose we have 15 bit sets to lay out:
A (16 bits), B (15 bits), C (14 bits), D (13 bits), E (12 bits),
F (11 bits), G (10 bits), H (9 bits), I (7 bits), J (6 bits), K (5 bits),
L (4 bits), M (3 bits), N (2 bits), O (1 bit)
These bits can be laid out in a 16-byte array like this:
Byte Offset
0123456789ABCDEF
Bit
7 HHHHHHHHHIIIIIII
6 GGGGGGGGGGJJJJJJ
5 FFFFFFFFFFFKKKKK
4 EEEEEEEEEEEELLLL
3 DDDDDDDDDDDDDMMM
2 CCCCCCCCCCCCCCNN
1 BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBO
0 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
For example, to test bit X of A, we evaluate ((bits[X] & 1) != 0), or to
test bit X of I, we evaluate ((bits[9 + X] & 0x80) != 0). This can be done
in 1-2 machine instructions on x86, or 4-6 instructions on ARM.
This uses the LPT multiprocessor scheduling algorithm to lay out the bits
efficiently.

This change aligns globals to the next highest power of 2 bytes, up to a

bit sets with a greater alignment. In many more cases, we can now take
advantage of a new optimization also introduced in this patch that removes
bit set checks if the bit set is all ones.
The 128 byte maximum was found to provide the best tradeoff between instruction
overhead and data overhead in a recent build of Chromium. It allows us to
remove ~2.4MB of instructions at the cost of ~250KB of data.

This patch introduces a new mechanism that allows IR modules to co-operatively
build pointer sets corresponding to addresses within a given set of
globals. One particular use case for this is to allow a C++ program to
efficiently verify (at each call site) that a vtable pointer is in the set
of valid vtable pointers for the class or its derived classes. One way of
doing this is for a toolchain component to build, for each class, a bit set
that maps to the memory region allocated for the vtables, such that each 1
bit in the bit set maps to a valid vtable for that class, and lay out the
vtables next to each other, to minimize the total size of the bit sets.
The patch introduces a metadata format for representing pointer sets, an
'@llvm.bitset.test' intrinsic and an LTO lowering pass that lays out the globals
and builds the bitsets, and documents the new feature.

BDCE is a bit-tracking dead code elimination pass. It is based on ADCE (the
"aggressive DCE" pass), with the added capability to track dead bits of integer
valued instructions and remove those instructions when all of the bits are
dead.
Currently, it does not actually do this all-bits-dead removal, but rather
replaces the instruction's uses with a constant zero, and lets instcombine (and
the later run of ADCE) do the rest. Because we essentially get a run of ADCE
"for free" while tracking the dead bits, we also do what ADCE does and removes
actually-dead instructions as well (this includes instructions newly trivially
dead because all bits were dead, but not all such instructions can be removed).
The motivation for this is a case like:
int __attribute__((const)) foo(int i);
int bar(int x) {
x |= (4 & foo(5));
x |= (8 & foo(3));
x |= (16 & foo(2));
x |= (32 & foo(1));
x |= (64 & foo(0));
x |= (128& foo(4));
return x >> 4;
}
As it turns out, if you order the bit-field insertions so that all of the dead
ones come last, then instcombine will remove them. However, if you pick some
other order (such as the one above), the fact that some of the calls to foo()
are useless is not locally obvious, and we don't remove them (without this

LLVM's include tree and the use of using declarations to hide the
'legacy' namespace for the old pass manager.
This undoes the primary modules-hostile change I made to keep
out-of-tree targets building. I sent an email inquiring about whether
this would be reasonable to do at this phase and people seemed fine with
it, so making it a reality. This should allow us to start bootstrapping
with modules to a certain extent along with making it easier to mix and
match headers in general.
The updates to any code for users of LLVM are very mechanical. Switch
from including "llvm/PassManager.h" to "llvm/IR/LegacyPassManager.h".
Qualify the types which now produce compile errors with "legacy::". The
most common ones are "PassManager", "PassManagerBase", and
"FunctionPassManager".

I mistakenly thought the liveness of each "RetVal(F, i)" depended only on F. It
actually depends on the index too, which means we need to be careful about how
the results are combined before return. In particular if a single Use returns
Live, that counts for the entire object, at the granularity we're considering.

Unless we meet an insertvalue on a path from some value to a return, that value
will be live if *any* of the return's components are live, so all of those
components must be added to the MaybeLiveUses.
Previously we were deleting arguments if sub-value 0 turned out to be dead.
llvm-svn: 228731
Some parts of DeadArgElim were only considering the individual fields
of StructTypes separately, but others (where insertvalue &
extractvalue instructions occur) also looked into ArrayTypes.
This one is an actual bug; the mismatch can lead to an argument being
considered used by a return sub-value that isn't being tracked (and
hence is dead by default). It then gets incorrectly eliminated.
llvm-svn: 228559
Previously, a non-extractvalue use of an aggregate return value meant
the entire return was considered live (the algorithm gave up
entirely). This was correct, but conservative. It's better to actually
look at that Use, making the analysis results apply to all sub-values
under consideration.
E.g.
%val = call { i32, i32 } @whatever()
[...]
ret { i32, i32 } %val
The return is using the entire aggregate (sub-values 0 and 1). We can
still simplify @whatever if we can prove that this return is itself
unused.
Also unifies the logic slightly between aggregate and non-aggregate
cases..

llvm-svn: 226426
The pass is really just a means of accessing a cached instance of the
TargetLibraryInfo object, and this way we can re-use that object for the
new pass manager as its result.
Lots of delta, but nothing interesting happening here. This is the
common pattern that is developing to allow analyses to live in both the
old and new pass manager -- a wrapper pass in the old pass manager
emulates the separation intrinsic to the new pass manager between the
result and pass for analyses.

While the term "Target" is in the name, it doesn't really have to do

different runtime environments. The "target" in this sense is the more

a cache of assumptions for a single function, and an immutable pass that
manages those caches.
The motivation for this change is two fold. Immutable analyses are
really hacks around the current pass manager design and don't exist in
the new design. This is usually OK, but it requires that the core logic
of an immutable pass be reasonably partitioned off from the pass logic.
This change does precisely that. As a consequence it also paves the way
for the *many* utility functions that deal in the assumptions to live in
both pass manager worlds by creating an separate non-pass object with
its own independent API that they all rely on. Now, the only bits of the
system that deal with the actual pass mechanics are those that actually
need to deal with the pass mechanics.
Once this separation is made, several simplifications become pretty
obvious in the assumption cache itself. Rather than using a set and
callback value handles, it can just be a vector of weak value handles.
The callers can easily skip the handles that are null, and eventually we
can wrap all of this up behind a filter iterator.
For now, this adds boiler plate to the various passes, but this kind of
boiler plate will end up making it possible to port these passes to the
new pass manager, and so it will end up factored away pretty reasonably.

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.)

Patch by Ben Gamari!
This redefines the `prefix` attribute introduced previously and
introduces a `prologue` attribute. There are a two primary usecases
that these attributes aim to serve,
1. Function prologue sigils
2. Function hot-patching: Enable the user to insert `nop` operations
at the beginning of the function which can later be safely replaced
with a call to some instrumentation facility
3. Runtime metadata: Allow a compiler to insert data for use by the
runtime during execution. GHC is one example of a compiler that
needs this functionality for its tables-next-to-code functionality.
Previously `prefix` served cases (1) and (2) quite well by allowing the user
to introduce arbitrary data at the entrypoint but before the function
body. Case (3), however, was poorly handled by this approach as it
required that prefix data was valid executable code.
Here we redefine the notion of prefix data to instead be data which
occurs immediately before the function entrypoint (i.e. the symbol
address). Since prefix data now occurs before the function entrypoint,
there is no need for the data to be valid code.
The previous notion of prefix data now goes under the name "prologue
data" to emphasize its duality with the function epilogue.
The intention here is to handle cases (1) and (2) with prologue data and
case (3) with prefix data.

This idea arose out of discussions[1] with Reid Kleckner in response to a
proposal to introduce the notion of symbol offsets to enable handling of
case (3).

We used to always vectorize (slp and loop vectorize) in the LTO pass pipeline.
r220345 changed it so that we used the PassManager's fields 'LoopVectorize' and
'SLPVectorize' out of the desire to be able to disable vectorization using the
cl::opt flags 'vectorize-loops'/'slp-vectorize' which the before mentioned
fields default to.
Unfortunately, this turns off vectorization because those fields
default to false.
This commit adds flags to the LTO library to disable lto vectorization which
reconciles the desire to optionally disable vectorization during LTO and
the desired behavior of defaulting to enabled vectorization.
We really want tools to set PassManager flags directly to enable/disable
vectorization and not go the route via cl::opt flags *in*
PassManagerBuilder.cpp.
llvm-svn: 220652
Summary: Patches 202051 and 208013 added calls to LTO's PassManager which unconditionally add LoopVectorizePass and SLPVectorizerPass instead of following the logic in PassManagerBuilder::populateModulePassManager and honoring the -vectorize-loops -run-slp-after-loop-vectorization flags.

the IR going into it and to clean up the IR produced by the vectorizers.
Note that these are *off by default* right now while folks collect data
on whether the performance tradeoff is reasonable.
In a build of the 'opt' binary, I see about 2% compile time regression
due to this change on average. This is in my mind essentially the worst
expected case: very little of the opt binary is going to *benefit* from
these extra passes.
I've seen several benchmarks improve in performance my small amounts due
to running these passes, and there are certain (rare) cases where these
passes make a huge difference by either enabling the vectorizer at all
or by hoisting runtime checks out of the outer loop. My primary
motivation is to prevent people from seeing runtime check overhead in
benchmarks where the existing passes and optimizers would be able to
eliminate that.
I've chosen the sequence of passes based on the kinds of things that
seem likely to be relevant for the code at each stage: rotaing loops for
the vectorizer, finding correlated values, loop invariants, and
unswitching opportunities from any runtime checks, and cleaning up
commonalities exposed by the SLP vectorizer.
I'll be pinging existing threads where some of these issues have come up
and will start new threads to get folks to benchmark and collect data on
whether this is the right tradeoff or we should do something else.

After some stellar (& inspired) help from Reid Kleckner providing a test
case for some rather unstable undefined behavior showing up as
assertions produced by r214761, I was able to fix this issue in DAE
involving the application of both varargs removal, followed by normal
argument removal.
Indeed I introduced this same bug into ArgumentPromotion (r212128) by
copying the code from DAE, and when I fixed the bug in ArgPromo
(r213805) and commented in that patch that I didn't need to address the
same issue in DAE because it was a single pass. Turns out it's two pass,
one for the varargs and one for the normal arguments, so the same fix is
needed (at least during varargs removal). So here it is.
(the observable/net effect of this bug, even when it didn't result in
assertion failure, is that debug info would describe the DAE'd function
in the abstract, but wouldn't provide high/low_pc, variable locations,
line table, etc (it would appear as though the function had been
entirely optimized away), see the original PR14016 for details of the
general problem)
I'm not recommitting the assertion just yet, as there's been another
regression of it since I last tried. It might just be a few test cases
weren't adequately updated after Adrian or Duncan's recent schema
changes.

This adds a ScalarEvolution-powered transformation that updates load, store and
memory intrinsic pointer alignments based on invariant((a+q) & b == 0)
expressions. Many of the simple cases we can get with ValueTracking, but we
still need something like this for the more complicated cases (such as those
with an offset) that require some algebra. Note that gcc's
__builtin_assume_aligned's optional third argument provides exactly for this
kind of 'misalignment' offset for which this kind of logic is necessary.
The primary motivation is to fixup alignments for vector loads/stores after
vectorization (and unrolling). This pass is added to the optimization pipeline
just after the SLP vectorizer runs (which, admittedly, does not preserve SE,
although I imagine it could). Regardless, I actually don't think that the
preservation matters too much in this case: SE computes lazily, and this pass
won't issue any SE queries unless there are any assume intrinsics, so there
should be no real additional cost in the common case (SLP does preserve DT and
LoopInfo).
llvm-svn: 217344
This adds an immutable pass, AssumptionTracker, which keeps a cache of
@llvm.assume call instructions within a module. It uses callback value handles
to keep stale functions and intrinsics out of the map, and it relies on any
code that creates new @llvm.assume calls to notify it of the new instructions.
The benefit is that code needing to find @llvm.assume intrinsics can do so
directly, without scanning the function, thus allowing the cost of @llvm.assume
handling to be negligible when none are present.
The current design is intended to be lightweight. We don't keep track of
anything until we need a list of assumptions in some function. The first time
this happens, we scan the function. After that, we add/remove @llvm.assume
calls from the cache in response to registration calls and ValueHandle
callbacks.
There are no new direct test cases for this pass, but because it calls it
validation function upon module finalization, we'll pick up detectable
inconsistencies from the other tests that touch @llvm.assume calls.
This pass will be used by follow-up commits that make use of @llvm.assume.

This feeds AA through the IFI structure into the inliner so that

As with the other uses of this attribute, the goal remains a best-effort

This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this
feature are:
1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining
2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers
Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary
infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality,
only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function
parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit.
What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access
sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA
nodes:
!scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" }
!scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 }
!scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 }
!scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 }
!scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 }
Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a
noalias tag for a specific scope:
... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }
When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with
the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the
noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory
accesses are assumed not to alias.
Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can
be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced
by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers.
[Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need
to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global
unnamed metadata.]
Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code.
This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site
(because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For
example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets
inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } --
now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site,
and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining
these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2.
llvm-svn: 213864
In order to enable the preservation of noalias function parameter information
after inlining, and the representation of block-level __restrict__ pointer
information (etc.), additional kinds of aliasing metadata will be introduced.
This metadata needs to be carried around in AliasAnalysis::Location objects
(and MMOs at the SDAG level), and so we need to generalize the current scheme
(which is hard-coded to just one TBAA MDNode*).
This commit introduces only the necessary refactoring to allow for the
introduction of other aliasing metadata types, but does not actually introduce
any (that will come in a follow-up commit). What it does introduce is a new
AAMDNodes structure to hold all of the aliasing metadata nodes associated with
a particular memory-accessing instruction, and uses that structure instead of
the raw MDNode* in AliasAnalysis::Location, etc.
No functionality change intended.

While the subprogram map cache used by Dead Argument Elimination works

in one go.
To address this, ensure that the map is updated after each argument
promotion.
In retrospect it might be a little wasteful to create a map of all
subprograms when only handling a single CGSCC, but the alternative is
walking the debug info for each function in the CGSCC that gets updated.
It's not clear to me what the right tradeoff is there, but since the
current tradeoff seems to be working OK (and the code to keep things
updated is very cheap), let's stick with that for now.

Summary: This patch introduces two new iterator ranges and updates existing code to use it. No functional change intended.
Test Plan: All tests (make check-all) still pass.

Merges equivalent loads on both sides of a hammock/diamond
and hoists into into the header.
Merges equivalent stores on both sides of a hammock/diamond
and sinks it to the footer.
Can enable if conversion and tolerate better load misses
and store operand latencies.

isDereferenceablePointer should not give up upon encountering any bitcast. If
we're casting from a pointer to a larger type to a pointer to a small type, we
can continue by examining the bitcast's operand. This missing capability
was noted in a comment in the function.
In order for this to work, isDereferenceablePointer now takes an optional
DataLayout pointer (essentially all callers already had such a pointer
available). Most code uses isDereferenceablePointer though
isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute (which already took an optional DataLayout
pointer), and to enable the LICM test case, LICM needs to actually provide its DL
pointer to isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute (which it was not doing previously).

This reverts commit 5b55a47e94e28fbb56d0cd5d72c3db9105c15b4c.
A test case was found to crash after this was applied. I'll file a bug to track fixing this with the test case needed.

This is useful for functions that are not actually available externally but
referenced by a vtable of some kind. Clang emits functions like this for the MS
ABI.

Exposes more constant globals that can be removed by
the global optimizer. A specific example is the removal
of the static global block address array in
clang/test/CodeGen/indirect-goto.c. This change impacts only
lower optimization levels. With LTO interprocedural
const prop runs already before global opt.

Matching behavior with DeadArgumentElimination (and leveraging some
now-common infrastructure), keep track of the function from debug info
metadata if arguments are promoted.
This may produce interesting debug info - since the arguments may be
missing or of different types... but at least backtraces, inlining, etc,
will be correct.

There were transforms whose *intent* was to downgrade the linkage of
external objects to have internal linkage.
However, it fired on things with private linkage as well.

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.
