Retrying after upstream changes.
Simplify Consecutive Merge Store Candidate Search
Now that address aliasing is much less conservative, push through
simplified store merging search which only checks for parallel stores
through the chain subgraph. This is cleaner as the separation of
non-interfering loads/stores from the store-merging logic.
Whem merging stores, search up the chain through a single load, and
finds all possible stores by looking down from through a load and a
TokenFactor to all stores visited. This improves the quality of the
output SelectionDAG and generally the output CodeGen (with some
exceptions).
Additional Minor Changes:
1. Finishes removing unused AliasLoad code
2. Unifies the the chain aggregation in the merged stores across
code paths
3. Re-add the Store node to the worklist after calling
SimplifyDemandedBits.
4. Increase GatherAllAliasesMaxDepth from 6 to 18. That number is
arbitrary, but seemed sufficient to not cause regressions in
tests.
This finishes the change Matt Arsenault started in r246307 and
jyknight's original patch.
Many tests required some changes as memory operations are now
reorderable. Some tests relying on the order were changed to use
volatile memory operations
Noteworthy tests:
CodeGen/AArch64/argument-blocks.ll -
It's not entirely clear what the test_varargs_stackalign test is
supposed to be asserting, but the new code looks right.

The tail duplication pass uses an assumed layout when making duplication
decisions. This is fine, but passes up duplication opportunities that
may arise when blocks are outlined. Because we want the updated CFG to
affect subsequent placement decisions, this change must occur during
placement.
In order to achieve this goal, TailDuplicationPass is split into a
utility class, TailDuplicator, and the pass itself. The pass delegates
nearly everything to the TailDuplicator object, except for looping over
the blocks in a function. This allows the same code to be used for tail
duplication in both places.
This change, in concert with outlining optional branches, allows
triangle shaped code to perform much better, esepecially when the
taken/untaken branches are correlated, as it creates a second spine when
the tests are small enough.

The non-obvious motivation for adding this fold (which already happens in InstCombine)
is that we want to canonicalize IR towards select instructions and canonicalize DAG
nodes towards boolean math. So we need to recreate some folds in the DAG to handle that
change in direction.
An interesting implementation difference for cases like this is that InstCombine
generally works top-down while the DAG goes bottom-up. That means we need to detect
different patterns. In this case, the SimplifyDemandedBits fold prevents us from
performing a zext to sext fold that would then be recognized as a negation of a sext.

The code used llvm basic block predecessors to decided where to insert phi
nodes. Instruction selection can and will liberally insert new machine basic
block predecessors. There is not a guaranteed one-to-one mapping from pred.
llvm basic blocks and machine basic blocks.
Therefore the current approach does not work as it assumes we can mark
predecessor machine basic block as needing a copy, and needs to know the set of
all predecessor machine basic blocks to decide when to insert phis.
Instead of computing the swifterror vregs as we select instructions, propagate
them at the end of instruction selection when the MBB CFG is complete.
When an instruction needs a swifterror vreg and we don't know the value yet,
generate a new vreg and remember this "upward exposed" use, and reconcile this
at the end of instruction selection.
This will only happen if the target supports promoting swifterror parameters to
registers and the swifterror attribute is used.

This generalizes the build_vector -> vector_shuffle combine to support any

the first layer performs pairwise shuffles of the input vectors placing each
input element into the correct lane, and the rest of the tree blends these
shuffles together.
This doesn't try to be smart and create any sort of "optimal" shuffles.

The SMULO/UMULO DAG nodes, when not directly supported by the target,
expand to a multiplication twice as wide. In case that the resulting
type is not legal, an __mul?i3 intrinsic is used. Since the type is
not legal, the legalizer cannot directly call the intrinsic with
the wide arguments; instead, it "pre-lowers" them by splitting them
in halves.
The "pre-lowering" code in essence made assumptions about
the calling convention, specifically that i(N*2) values will be
split into two iN values and passed in consecutive registers in
little-endian order. This, naturally, breaks on a big-endian system,
such as our OR1K out-of-tree backend.

Instead of producing a mapping for all the operands, we only generate a
mapping for the definition. Indeed, the other operands are not
constrained by the instruction and thus, we should leave the choice to
the actual definition to do the right thing.
In pratice this is almost NFC, but with one advantage. We will have only
one instance of OperandsMapping for each copy and phi that map to one
register bank instead of one different instance for each different

LiveDebugVariables doesn't propagate DBG_VALUEs accross basic block

We can thus drop the now dead references to LexicalScopes from LiveDebugVariables.
llvm-svn: 282638
Normally, if conversion would add implicit uses for redefined registers,
e.g. R0<def> = add_if ..., R0<imp-use>. However, if only subregisters of
R0 are known to be live but not R0 itself, such implicit uses will not be
added, causing prior definitions of such subregisters and R0 itself to
become dead.
llvm-svn: 282626
This addresses PR26055 LiveDebugValues is very slow.
Contrary to the old LiveDebugVariables pass LiveDebugValues currently
doesn't look at the lexical scopes before inserting a DBG_VALUE
intrinsic. This means that we often propagate DBG_VALUEs much further
down than necessary. This is especially noticeable in large C++
functions with many inlined method calls that all use the same
"this"-pointer.
For example, in the following code it makes no sense to propagate the
inlined variable a from the first inlined call to f() into any of the
subsequent basic blocks, because the variable will always be out of
scope:
void sink(int a);
void __attribute((always_inline)) f(int a) { sink(a); }
void foo(int i) {
f(i);
if (i)
f(i);
f(i);
}
This patch reuses the LexicalScopes infrastructure we have for
LiveDebugVariables to take this into account.
The effect on compile time and memory consumption is quite noticeable:
I tested a benchmark that is a large C++ source with an enormous
amount of inlined "this"-pointers that would previously eat >24GiB
(most of them for DBG_VALUE intrinsics) and whose compile time was
dominated by LiveDebugValues. With this patch applied the memory
consumption is 1GiB and 1.7% of the time is spent in LiveDebugValues.

discarded, preventing isConstantPhysReg() from returning true. This
change adds a TargetRegisterInfo hook that overrides the no defs check
for cases such as this.

Many high-performance processors have a dedicated branch predictor for
indirect branches, commonly used with jump tables. As sophisticated as such
branch predictors are, they tend to have well defined limits beyond which
their effectiveness is hampered or even nullified. One such limit is the
number of possible destinations for a given indirect branches that such
branch predictors can handle.
This patch considers a limit that a target may set to the number of

If a constant is unamed_addr and is only used within one function, we can save
on the code size and runtime cost of an indirection by changing the global's storage
to inside the constant pool. For example, instead of:
ldr r0, .CPI0
bl printf
bx lr
.CPI0: &format_string
format_string: .asciz "hello, world!\n"
We can emit:
adr r0, .CPI0
bl printf
bx lr
.CPI0: .asciz "hello, world!\n"
This can cause significant code size savings when many small strings are used in one
function (4 bytes per string).
This recommit contains fixes for a nasty bug related to fast-isel fallback - because
fast-isel doesn't know about this optimization, if it runs and emits references to
a string that we inline (because fast-isel fell back to SDAG) we will end up
with an inlined string and also an out-of-line string, and we won't emit the
out-of-line string, causing backend failures.
It also contains fixes for emitting .text relocations which made the sanitizer
bots unhappy.
