GCC option description for -fdelete-null-pointer-checks:
This Assume that programs cannot safely dereference null pointers,
and that no code or data element resides at address zero.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks is the inverse of this implying that
null pointer dereferencing is not undefined.
This feature is implemented in LLVM IR in this CL as the function attribute
"null-pointer-is-valid"="true" in IR (Under review at D47894).
The CL updates several passes that assumed null pointer dereferencing is
undefined to not optimize when the "null-pointer-is-valid"="true"
attribute is present.

(This is a second attempt as https://reviews.llvm.org/D34822 was reverted.)
LazyValueInfo currently computes the constant value of the switch condition through case edges, which allows the constant value to be propagated through the case edges.
But we have seen a case where a zero-extended value of the switch condition is used past case edges for which the constant propagation doesn't occur.
This patch adds a small logic to handle such a case in getEdgeValueLocal().
This is motivated by the Python 2.7 eval loop in PyEval_EvalFrameEx() where the lack of the constant propagation causes longer live ranges and more spill code than necessary.
With this patch, we see that the code size of PyEval_EvalFrameEx() decreases by ~5.4% and a performance test improves by ~4.6%.

Currently JumpThreading can use LazyValueInfo to analyze an 'and' or 'or' of compare if the compare is fed by a livein of a basic block. This can be used to to prove the condition can't be met for some predecessor and the jump from that predecessor can be moved to the false path of the condition.
But if the compare is something that InstCombine turns into an add and a single compare, it can't be analyzed because the livein is now an input to the add and not the compare.
This patch adds a new method to LVI to get a ConstantRange on an edge. Then we teach jump threading to detect the add livein feeding a compare and to get the ConstantRange and propagate it.

Summary:
LVIPrinter pass was previously relying on the LVICache. We now directly call the
the LVI functions which solves the value if the LVI information is not already
available in the cache. This has 2 benefits over the printing of LVI cache:
1. higher coverage (i.e. catches errors) in LVI code when cache value is
invalidated.
2. relies on the core functions, and not dependent on the LVI cache (which may
be scrapped at some point).
It would still catch any cache invalidation errors, since we first go through
the cache.

This changes LVILatticeVal::getConstantRange() to return its internal ConstantRange by reference. This allows many places that just need a ConstantRange reference to avoid making a copy.
Several places now capture the return value of getConstantRange() by reference so they can call methods on it that don't need a new object.
Lastly it adds std::move in one place to capture to move a local ConstantRange into an LVILatticeVal.

Summary:
LVI is now depth first, which is optimal for iteration strategy in
terms of work per call. However, the way the results get cached means
it can still go very badly N^2 or worse right now. The overdefined
cache is per-block, because LVI wants to try to get different results
for the same name in different blocks (IE solve the problem
PredicateInfo solves). This means even if we discover a value is
overdefined after going very deep, it doesn't cache this information,
causing it to end up trying to rediscover it again and again. The
same is true for values along the way. In practice, overdefined
anywhere should mean overdefined everywhere (this is how, for example,
SCCP works).
Until we get around to reworking the overdefined cache, we need to
limit the worklist size we process. Note that permanently reverting
the DFS strategy exploration seems the wrong strategy (temporarily
seems fine if we really want). BFS is clearly the wrong approach, it
just gets luckier on some testcases. It's also very hard to design
an effective throttle for BFS. For DFS, the throttle is directly related
to the depth of the CFG. So really deep CFGs will get cutoff, smaller
ones will not. As the CFG simplifies, you get better results.
In BFS, the limit is it's related to the fan-out times average block size,
which is harder to reason about or make good choices for.
Bug being filed about the overdefined cache, but it will require major
surgery to fix it (plumbing predicateinfo through CVP or LVI).
Note: I did not make this number configurable because i'm not sure
anyone really needs to tweak this knob. We run CVP 3 times. On the
testcases i have the slow ones happen in the middle, where CVP is
doing cleanup work other things are effective at. Over the course of
3 runs, we don't see to have any real loss of performance.
I haven't gotten a minimized testcase yet, but just imagine in your
head a testcase where, going *up* the CFG, you have branches, one of
which leads 50000 blocks deep, and the other, to something where the
answer is overdefined immediately. BFS would discover the overdefined
faster than DFS, but do more work to do so. In practice, the right
answer is "once DFS discovers overdefined for a value, stop trying to
get more info about that value" (and so, DFS would normally cache the
overdefined results for every value it passed through in those 50k
blocks, and never do that work again. But it don't, because of the
naming problem)

This patch changes the order in which LVI explores previously unexplored paths.
Previously, the code used an BFS strategy where each unexplored input was added to the search queue before any of them were explored. This has the effect of causing all inputs to be explored before returning to re-evaluate the merge point (non-local or phi node). This has the unfortunate property of doing redundant work if one of the inputs to the merge is found to be overdefined (i.e. unanalysable). If any input is overdefined, the result of the merge will be too; regardless of the values of other inputs.
The new code uses a DFS strategy where we re-evaluate the merge after evaluating each input. If we discover an overdefined input, we immediately return without exploring other inputs.
We have reports of large (4-10x) improvements of compile time with this patch and some reports of more precise analysis results as well. See the review discussion for details. The original motivating case was pr10584.

with it.
This code was dereferencing the PoisoningVH which isn't allowed once it
is poisoned. But the code itself really doesn't need to access the
pointer, it is just doing the safe stuff of clearing out data structures
keyed on the pointer value.
Change the code to use iterators to erase directly from a DenseMap. This
is also substantially more efficient as it avoids lots of hashing and
lookups to do the erasure. DenseMap supports iterating behind the
iteration which is fairly easy to implement.
Sadly, I don't have a test case here. I'm not even close and I don't
know that I ever will be. The issue is that several of the tricky
aspects of fixing this only show up when you cause the stack's
SmallVector to be in *EXACTLY* the right location. I only ever got
a reproduction for those with Clang, and only with *exactly* the right
command line flags. Any adjustment, even to seemingly unrelated flags,
would make partial and half-way solutions magically start to "work". In
good news, all of this was caught with the LLVM test suite. Also, there
is no *specific* code here that is untested, just that the old pattern
of code won't immediately fail on any test case I've managed to
contrive.

a lazy-asserting PoisoningVH.
AssertVH is fundamentally incompatible with cache-invalidation of
analysis results. The invaliadtion happens after the AssertingVH has
already fired. Instead, use a PoisoningVH that will assert if the
dangling handle is ever used rather than merely be assigned or
destroyed.
This patch also removes all of the (numerous) doomed attempts to work
around this fundamental incompatibility. It is a pretty significant
simplification IMO.
The most interesting change is in the Inliner where we still do some
clearing because we don't want to rely on the coarse grained
invalidation strategy of the containing pass manager. However, I prefer
the approach that contains this logic to the cleanup phase of the
Inliner, and I think we could enhance the CGSCC analysis management
layer to make this even better in the future if desired.
The rest is straight cleanup.
I've also added a test for one of the harder cases to work around: when
a *module analysis* contains many AssertingVHes pointing at functions.

Here's my second try at making @llvm.assume processing more efficient. My
previous attempt, which leveraged operand bundles, r289755, didn't end up
working: it did make assume processing more efficient but eliminating the
assumption cache made ephemeral value computation too expensive. This is a
more-targeted change. We'll keep the assumption cache, but extend it to keep a
map of affected values (i.e. values about which an assumption might provide
some information) to the corresponding assumption intrinsics. This allows
ValueTracking and LVI to find assumptions relevant to the value being queried
without scanning all assumptions in the function. The fact that ValueTracking
started doing O(number of assumptions in the function) work, for every
known-bits query, has become prohibitively expensive in some cases.
As discussed during the review, this is a pragmatic fix that, longer term, will
likely be replaced by a more-principled solution (perhaps based on an extended
SSA form).

After r289755, the AssumptionCache is no longer needed. Variables affected by
assumptions are now found by using the new operand-bundle-based scheme. This
new scheme is more computationally efficient, and also we need much less
code...
llvm-svn: 289756
There was an efficiency problem with how we processed @llvm.assume in
ValueTracking (and other places). The AssumptionCache tracked all of the
assumptions in a given function. In order to find assumptions relevant to
computing known bits, etc. we searched every assumption in the function. For
ValueTracking, that means that we did O(#assumes * #values) work in InstCombine
and other passes (with a constant factor that can be quite large because we'd
repeat this search at every level of recursion of the analysis).
Several of us discussed this situation at the last developers' meeting, and
this implements the discussed solution: Make the values that an assume might
affect operands of the assume itself. To avoid exposing this detail to
frontends and passes that need not worry about it, I've used the new
operand-bundle feature to add these extra call "operands" in a way that does
not affect the intrinsic's signature. I think this solution is relatively
clean. InstCombine adds these extra operands based on what ValueTracking, LVI,
etc. will need and then those passes need only search the users of the values
under consideration. This should fix the computational-complexity problem.
At this point, no passes depend on the AssumptionCache, and so I'll remove
that as a follow-up change.
