Divides and remainder operations do not behave like other operations
when they are given poison: they turn into undefined behavior.
It's really hard to know if the operands going into a div are or are not
poison. Because of this, we should only choose to speculate if there
are constant operands which we can easily reason about.
This fixes PR21412.

Change `Instruction::getMetadata()` to return `Value` as part of
PR21433.
Update most callers to use `Instruction::getMDNode()`, which wraps the
result in a `cast_or_null<MDNode>`.

If we load from a location with range metadata, we can use information about the ranges of the loaded value for optimization purposes. This helps to remove redundant checks and canonicalize checks for other optimization passes. This particular patch checks whether a value is known to be non-zero from the range metadata.
Currently, these tests are against InstCombine. In theory, all of these should be InstSimplify since we're not inserting any new instructions. Moving the code may follow in a separate change.

These are named following the IEEE-754 names for these

possible ambiguities. Some languages may implement something
resembling fmin / fmax which return NaN if either operand is
to propagate errors. These implement the IEEE-754 semantics
of returning the other operand if either is a NaN representing

Our metadata scheme lazily assigns IDs to string metadata, but we have a mechanism to preassign them as well. Using a preassigned ID is helpful since we get compile time type checking, and avoid some (minimal) string construction and comparison. This change adds enum value for three existing metadata types:
+ MD_nontemporal = 9, // "nontemporal"
+ MD_mem_parallel_loop_access = 10, // "llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access"
+ MD_nonnull = 11 // "nonnull"
I went through an updated various uses as well. I made no attempt to get all uses; I focused on the ones which were easily grepable and easily to translate. For example, there were several items in LoopInfo.cpp I chose not to update.

The newly introduced 'nonnull' metadata is analogous to existing 'nonnull' attributes, but applies to load instructions rather than call arguments or returns. Long term, it would be nice to combine these into a single construct. The value of the load is allowed to vary between successive loads, but null is not a valid value to be loaded by any load marked nonnull.

up to where it actually works as intended. The problem is that
a GlobalAlias isa GlobalValue and so the prior block handled all of the
cases.
This allows us to constant fold based on the actual constant expression
in the global alias. As an example, see the last function in the newly
added test case which explicitly aligns an unaligned pointer using
constant expression math. Without this change, we fail to see that and
fold an alignment test to zero.

This builds on r217342, which added the infrastructure to compute known bits
using assumptions (@llvm.assume calls). That original commit added only a few
patterns (to catch common cases related to determining pointer alignment); this
change adds several other patterns for simple cases.
r217342 contained that, for assume(v & b = a), bits in the mask
that are known to be one, we can propagate known bits from the a to v. It also
had a known-bits transfer for assume(a = b). This patch adds:
assume(~(v & b) = a) : For those bits in the mask that are known to be one, we
can propagate inverted known bits from the a to v.
assume(v | b = a) : For those bits in b that are known to be zero, we can
propagate known bits from the a to v.
assume(~(v | b) = a): For those bits in b that are known to be zero, we can
propagate inverted known bits from the a to v.
assume(v ^ b = a) : For those bits in b that are known to be zero, we can
propagate known bits from the a to v. For those bits in
b that are known to be one, we can propagate inverted
known bits from the a to v.
assume(~(v ^ b) = a) : For those bits in b that are known to be zero, we can
propagate inverted known bits from the a to v. For those
bits in b that are known to be one, we can propagate
known bits from the a to v.
assume(v << c = a) : For those bits in a that are known, we can propagate them
to known bits in v shifted to the right by c.
assume(~(v << c) = a) : For those bits in a that are known, we can propagate
them inverted to known bits in v shifted to the right by c.
assume(v >> c = a) : For those bits in a that are known, we can propagate them
to known bits in v shifted to the right by c.
assume(~(v >> c) = a) : For those bits in a that are known, we can propagate
them inverted to known bits in v shifted to the right by c.
assume(v >=_s c) where c is non-negative: The sign bit of v is zero
assume(v >_s c) where c is at least -1: The sign bit of v is zero
assume(v <=_s c) where c is negative: The sign bit of v is one
assume(v <_s c) where c is non-positive: The sign bit of v is one
assume(v <=_u c): Transfer the known high zero bits
assume(v <_u c): Transfer the known high zero bits (if c is know to be a power
of 2, transfer one more)
A small addition to InstCombine was necessary for some of the test cases. The
problem is that when InstCombine was simplifying and, or, etc. it would fail to
check the 'do I know all of the bits' condition before checking less specific
conditions and would not fully constant-fold the result. I'm not sure how to
trigger this aside from using assumptions, so I've just included the change
here.
llvm-svn: 217343
This change, which allows @llvm.assume to be used from within computeKnownBits
(and other associated functions in ValueTracking), adds some (optional)
parameters to computeKnownBits and friends. These functions now (optionally)
take a "context" instruction pointer, an AssumptionTracker pointer, and also a
DomTree pointer, and most of the changes are just to pass this new information
when it is easily available from InstSimplify, InstCombine, etc.
As explained below, the significant conceptual change is that known properties
of a value might depend on the control-flow location of the use (because we
care that the @llvm.assume dominates the use because assumptions have
control-flow dependencies). This means that, when we ask if bits are known in a
value, we might get different answers for different uses.
The significant changes are all in ValueTracking. Two main changes: First, as
with the rest of the code, new parameters need to be passed around. To make
this easier, I grouped them into a structure, and I made internal static
versions of the relevant functions that take this structure as a parameter. The
new code does as you might expect, it looks for @llvm.assume calls that make
use of the value we're trying to learn something about (often indirectly),
attempts to pattern match that expression, and uses the result if successful.
By making use of the AssumptionTracker, the process of finding @llvm.assume
calls is not expensive.
Part of the structure being passed around inside ValueTracking is a set of
already-considered @llvm.assume calls. This is to prevent a query using, for
example, the assume(a == b), to recurse on itself. The context and DT params
are used to find applicable assumptions. An assumption needs to dominate the
context instruction, or come after it deterministically. In this latter case we
only handle the specific case where both the assumption and the context
instruction are in the same block, and we need to exclude assumptions from
being used to simplify their own ephemeral values (those which contribute only
to the assumption) because otherwise the assumption would prove its feeding
comparison trivial and would be removed.
This commit adds the plumbing and the logic for a simple masked-bit propagation
(just enough to write a regression test). Future commits add more patterns
(and, correspondingly, more regression tests).

We previously supported the align attribute on all (pointer) parameters, but we
only used it for byval parameters. However, it is completely consistent at the
IR level to treat 'align n' on all pointer parameters as an alignment
assumption on the pointer, and now we wll. Specifically, this causes
computeKnownBits to use the align attribute on all pointer parameters, not just
byval parameters. I've also added an explicit parameter attribute test for this
to test/Bitcode/attributes.ll.
And I've updated the LangRef to document the align parameter attribute (as it
turns out, it was not documented at all previously, although the byval
documentation mentioned that it could be used).
There are (at least) two benefits to doing this:
- It allows enhancing alignment based on the pointer alignment after inlining callees.
- It allows simplification of pointer arithmetic.

This attribute indicates that the parameter or return pointer is
dereferenceable. Practically speaking, loads from such a pointer within the
associated byte range are safe to speculatively execute. Such pointer
parameters are common in source languages (C++ references, for example).
llvm-svn: 213385
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).

Summary:
With this patch, range metadata can be added to call/invoke including
IntrinsicInst. Previously, it could only be added to load.
Rename computeKnownBitsLoad to computeKnownBitsFromRangeMetadata because
range metadata is not only used by load.
Update the language reference to reflect this change.
Test Plan:
Add several tests in range-2.ll to confirm the verifier is happy with
having range metadata on call/invoke.
Add two tests in AddOverFlow.ll to confirm annotating range metadata to
call/invoke can benefit InstCombine.

This requires a number of steps.
1) Move value_use_iterator into the Value class as an implementation
detail
2) Change it to actually be a *Use* iterator rather than a *User*
iterator.
3) Add an adaptor which is a User iterator that always looks through the
Use to the User.
4) Wrap these in Value::use_iterator and Value::user_iterator typedefs.
5) Add the range adaptors as Value::uses() and Value::users().
6) Update *all* of the callers to correctly distinguish between whether
they wanted a use_iterator (and to explicitly dig out the User when
needed), or a user_iterator which makes the Use itself totally
opaque.
Because #6 requires churning essentially everything that walked the
Use-Def chains, I went ahead and added all of the range adaptors and
switched them to range-based loops where appropriate. Also because the
renaming requires at least churning every line of code, it didn't make
any sense to split these up into multiple commits -- all of which would
touch all of the same lies of code.
The result is still not quite optimal. The Value::use_iterator is a nice
regular iterator, but Value::user_iterator is an iterator over User*s
rather than over the User objects themselves. As a consequence, it fits
a bit awkwardly into the range-based world and it has the weird
extra-dereferencing 'operator->' that so many of our iterators have.
I think this could be fixed by providing something which transforms
a range of T&s into a range of T*s, but that *can* be separated into
another patch, and it isn't yet 100% clear whether this is the right
move.
However, this change gets us most of the benefit and cleans up
a substantial amount of code around Use and User. =]

a bit surprising, as the class is almost entirely abstracted away from
any particular IR, however it encodes the comparsion predicates which
mutate ranges as ICmp predicate codes. This is reasonable as they're
used for both instructions and constants. Thus, it belongs in the IR
library with instructions and constants.
