Summary:
This is the first change to enable the TLI to be built per-function so
that -fno-builtin* handling can be migrated to use function attributes.
See discussion on D61634 for background. This is an enabler for fixing
handling of these options for LTO, for example.
This change should not affect behavior, as the provided function is not
yet used to build a specifically per-function TLI, but rather enables
that migration.
Most of the changes were very mechanical, e.g. passing a Function to the
legacy analysis pass's getTLI interface, or in Module level cases,
adding a callback. This is similar to the way the per-function TTI
analysis works.
There was one place where we were looking for builtins but not in the
context of a specific function. See FindCXAAtExit in
lib/Transforms/IPO/GlobalOpt.cpp. I'm somewhat concerned my workaround
could provide the wrong behavior in some corner cases. Suggestions
welcome.

Summary:
Both the input Value pointer and the returned Value
pointers in GetUnderlyingObjects are now declared as
const.
It turned out that all current (in-tree) uses of
GetUnderlyingObjects were trivial to update, being
satisfied with have those Value pointers declared
as const. Actually, in the past several of the users
had to use const_cast, just because of ValueTracking
not providing a version of GetUnderlyingObjects with
"const" Value pointers. With this patch we get rid
of those const casts.

Summary:
Adding contained caching to AliasAnalysis. BasicAA is currently the only one using it.
AA changes:
- This patch is pulling the caches from BasicAAResults to AAResults, meaning the getModRefInfo call benefits from the IsCapturedCache as well when in "batch mode".
- All AAResultBase implementations add the QueryInfo member to all APIs. AAResults APIs maintain wrapper APIs such that all alias()/getModRefInfo call sites are unchanged.
- AA now provides a BatchAAResults type as a wrapper to AAResults. It keeps the AAResults instance and a QueryInfo instantiated to batch mode. It delegates all work to the AAResults instance with the batched QueryInfo. More API wrappers may be needed in BatchAAResults; only the minimum needed is currently added.
MemorySSA changes:
- All walkers are now templated on the AA used (AliasAnalysis=AAResults or BatchAAResults).
- At build time, we optimize uses; now we create a local walker (lives only as long as OptimizeUses does) using BatchAAResults.
- All Walkers have an internal AA and only use that now, never the AA in MemorySSA. The Walkers receive the AA they will use when built.
- The walker we use for queries after the build is instantiated on AliasAnalysis and is built after building MemorySSA and setting AA.
- All static methods doing walking are now templated on AliasAnalysisType if they are used both during build and after. If used only during build, the method now only takes a BatchAAResults. If used only after build, the method now takes an AliasAnalysis.

minted `CallBase` class instead of the `CallSite` wrapper.
This moves the largest interwoven collection of APIs that traffic in
`CallSite`s. While a handful of these could have been migrated with
a minorly more shallow migration by converting from a `CallSite` to
a `CallBase`, it hardly seemed worth it. Most of the APIs needed to
migrate together because of the complex interplay of AA APIs and the
fact that converting from a `CallBase` to a `CallSite` isn't free in its
current implementation.
Out of tree users of these APIs can fairly reliably migrate with some
combination of `.getInstruction()` on the `CallSite` instance and
casting the resulting pointer. The most generic form will look like `CS`
-> `cast_or_null<CallBase>(CS.getInstruction())` but in most cases there
is a more elegant migration. Hopefully, this migrates enough APIs for
users to fully move from `CallSite` to the base class. All of the
in-tree users were easily migrated in that fashion.
Thanks for the review from Saleem!

The key thing is that we need to create value handles for every function
that we create a `FunctionInfo` object around. Without this, when that
function is deleted we can end up creating a new function that collides
with its address and look up a stale AA result. With that AA result we
can in turn miscompile code in ways that break.
This is seriously one of the most absurd miscompiles I've seen. It only
reproduced for us recently and only when building a very large server

Shift existing Mod/Ref/ModRef values to include an additional most
significant bit. Update wrappers that modify ModRefInfo values to
reflect the change.
Notes:
* ModRefInfo::Must is almost entirely cleared in the AAResults methods, the remaining changes are trying to preserve it.
* Only some small changes to make custom AA passes set ModRefInfo::Must (BasicAA).
* GlobalsModRef already declares a bit, who's meaning overlaps with the most significant bit in ModRefInfo (MayReadAnyGlobal). No changes to shift the value of MayReadAnyGlobal (see AlignedMap). FunctionInfo.getModRef() ajusts most significant bit so correctness is preserved, but the Must info is lost.
* There are cases where the ModRefInfo::Must is not set, e.g. 2 calls that only read will return ModRefInfo::NoModRef, though they may read from exactly the same location.

Seems like at least one reasonable interpretation of optnone is that the
optimizer never "looks inside" a function. This fix is consistent with
that interpretation.
Specifically this came up in the situation:
f3 calls f2 calls f1
f2 is always_inline
f1 is optnone
The application of readnone to f1 (& thus to f2) caused the inliner to
kill the call to f2 as being trivially dead (without even checking the
cost function, as it happens - not sure if that's also a bug).

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.

Summary:
Fixes PR26774.
If you're aware of the issue, feel free to skip the "Motivation"
section and jump directly to "This patch".
Motivation:
I define "refinement" as discarding behaviors from a program that the
optimizer has license to discard. So transforming:
```
void f(unsigned x) {
unsigned t = 5 / x;
(void)t;
}
```
to
```
void f(unsigned x) { }
```
is refinement, since the behavior went from "if x == 0 then undefined
else nothing" to "nothing" (the optimizer has license to discard
undefined behavior).
Refinement is a fundamental aspect of many mid-level optimizations done
by LLVM. For instance, transforming `x == (x + 1)` to `false` also
involves refinement since the expression's value went from "if x is
`undef` then { `true` or `false` } else { `false` }" to "`false`" (by
definition, the optimizer has license to fold `undef` to any non-`undef`
value).
Unfortunately, refinement implies that the optimizer cannot assume
that the implementation of a function it can see has all of the
behavior an unoptimized or a differently optimized version of the same
function can have. This is a problem for functions with comdat
linkage, where a function can be replaced by an unoptimized or a
differently optimized version of the same source level function.
For instance, FunctionAttrs cannot assume a comdat function is
actually `readnone` even if it does not have any loads or stores in
it; since there may have been loads and stores in the "original
function" that were refined out in the currently visible variant, and
at the link step the linker may in fact choose an implementation with
a load or a store. As an example, consider a function that does two
atomic loads from the same memory location, and writes to memory only
if the two values are not equal. The optimizer is allowed to refine
this function by first CSE'ing the two loads, and the folding the
comparision to always report that the two values are equal. Such a
refined variant will look like it is `readonly`. However, the
unoptimized version of the function can still write to memory (since
the two loads //can// result in different values), and selecting the
unoptimized version at link time will retroactively invalidate
transforms we may have done under the assumption that the function
does not write to memory.
Note: this is not just a problem with atomics or with linking
differently optimized object files. See PR26774 for more realistic
examples that involved neither.
This patch:
This change introduces a new set of linkage types, predicated as
`GlobalValue::mayBeDerefined` that returns true if the linkage type
allows a function to be replaced by a differently optimized variant at
link time. It then changes a set of IPO passes to bail out if they see
such a function.

This was originally a pointer to support pass managers which didn't use
AnalysisManagers. However, that doesn't realistically come up much and

work in the face of the limitations of DLLs and templated static
variables.
This requires passes that use the AnalysisBase mixin provide a static
variable themselves. So as to keep their APIs clean, I've made these
private and befriended the CRTP base class (which is the common
practice).
I've added documentation to AnalysisBase for why this is necessary and
at what point we can go back to the much simpler system.
This is clearly a better pattern than the extern template as it caught
*numerous* places where the template magic hadn't been applied and
things were "just working" but would eventually have broken
mysteriously.

parts of the AA interface out of the base class of every single AA
result object.
Because this logic reformulates the query in terms of some other aspect
of the API, it would easily cause O(n^2) query patterns in alias
analysis. These could in turn be magnified further based on the number
of call arguments, and then further based on the number of AA queries
made for a particular call. This ended up causing problems for Rust that
were actually noticable enough to get a bug (PR26564) and probably other
places as well.
When originally re-working the AA infrastructure, the desire was to
regularize the pattern of refinement without losing any generality.
While I think it was successful, that is clearly proving to be too
costly. And the cost is needless: we gain no actual improvement for this
generality of making a direct query to tbaa actually be able to
re-use some other alias analysis's refinement logic for one of the other
APIs, or some such. In short, this is entirely wasted work.
To the extent possible, delegation to other API surfaces should be done
at the aggregation layer so that we can avoid re-walking the
aggregation. In fact, this significantly simplifies the logic as we no
longer need to smuggle the aggregation layer into each alias analysis
(or the TargetLibraryInfo into each alias analysis just so we can form
argument memory locations!).
However, we also have some delegation logic inside of BasicAA and some
of it even makes sense. When the delegation logic is baking in specific
knowledge of aliasing properties of the LLVM IR, as opposed to simply
reformulating the query to utilize a different alias analysis interface
entry point, it makes a lot of sense to restrict that logic to
a different layer such as BasicAA. So one aspect of the delegation that
was in every AA base class is that when we don't have operand bundles,
we re-use function AA results as a fallback for callsite alias results.
This relies on the IR properties of calls and functions w.r.t. aliasing,
and so seems a better fit to BasicAA. I've lifted the logic up to that
point where it seems to be a natural fit. This still does a bit of
redundant work (we query function attributes twice, once via the
callsite and once via the function AA query) but it is *exactly* twice
here, no more.
The end result is that all of the delegation logic is hoisted out of the
base class and into either the aggregation layer when it is a pure
retargeting to a different API surface, or into BasicAA when it relies
on the IR's aliasing properties. This should fix the quadratic query
pattern reported in PR26564, although I don't have a stand-alone test
case to reproduce it.
It also seems general goodness. Now the numerous AAs that don't need
target library info don't carry it around and depend on it. I think
I can even rip out the general access to the aggregation layer and only
expose that in BasicAA as it is the only place where we re-query in that
manner.
However, this is a non-trivial change to the AA infrastructure so I want
to get some additional eyes on this before it lands. Sadly, it can't
wait long because we should really cherry pick this into 3.8 if we're
going to go this route.

analyses in the new pass manager.
These just handle really basic stuff: turning a type name into a string
statically that is nice to print in logs, and getting a static unique ID
for each analysis.
Sadly, the format of passes in anonymous namespaces makes using their
names in tests really annoying so I've customized the names of the no-op

This is the first of a few simplifying refactorings for the new pass

Summary:
Since globals may escape as function arguments (even when they have been
found to be non-escaping, because of optimizations such as memcpyoptimizer
that replaces stores with memcpy), all arguments to a function are checked
during query to make sure they are identifiable. At that time, also ensure
we return a conservative result only if the arguments don't alias to our global.

See PR25822 for a more full summary, but we were conflating the concepts of "capture" and "escape". We were proving nocapture and using that proof to infer noescape, which is not true. Escaped-ness is a function-local property - as soon as a value is used in a call argument it escapes. Capturedness is a related but distinct property. It implies a *temporally limited* escape. Consider:
static int a;
int b;
int g(int * nocapture arg);
int f() {
a = 2; // Even though a escapes to g, it is not captured so can be treated as non-escaping here.
g(&a); // But here it must be treated as escaping.
g(&b); // Now that g(&a) has returned we know it was not captured so we can treat it as non-escaping again.

Instead of bailing out when we see loads, analyze them. If we can prove that the loaded-from address must escape, then we can conclude that a load from that address must escape too and therefore cannot alias a non-addr-taken global.
When checking if a Value can alias a non-addr-taken global, if the Value is a LoadInst of a non-global, recurse instead of bailing.
If we can follow a trail of loads up to some base that is captured, we know by inference that all the loads we followed are also captured.

llvm-svn: 250156
Arguments to function calls marked "nocapture" can be marked as
non-escaping. However, nocapture is defined in terms of the lifetime
of the callee, and if the callee can directly or indirectly recurse to
the caller, the semantics of nocapture are invalid.
Therefore, we eagerly discover which SCC each function belongs to,
and later can check if callee and caller of a callsite belong to
the same SCC, in which case there could be recursion.
This means that we can't be so optimistic in
getModRefInfo(ImmutableCallsite) - previously we assumed all call
arguments never aliased with an escaping global. Now we need to check,
because a global could now be passed as an argument but still not
escape.
This also solves a related conformance problem: MemCpyOptimizer can
turn non-escaping stores of globals into calls to intrinsics like
llvm.memcpy/llvm/memset. This confuses GlobalsAA, which knows the
global can't escape and so returns NoModRef when queried, when
obviously a memcpy/memset call does indeed reference and modify its
arguments.
This fixes PR24800, PR24801, and PR24802.

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.

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.
I've tried to find all the places where we referenced this, but I may
have missed some. I have also adjusted the C API to continue to be
