Nearly all the changes to this pass have been done while maintaining and
updating other parts of LLVM. LLVM has had another pass, SROA, which
has superseded ScalarReplAggregates for quite some time.

If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.
This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)
Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

Below are my super rough notes when porting. They can probably serve as
a basic guide for porting other passes to the new PM. As I port more
passes I'll expand and generalize this and make a proper
docs/HowToPortToNewPassManager.rst document. There is also missing
documentation for general concepts and API's in the new PM which will
require some documentation.
Once there is proper documentation in place we can put up a list of
passes that have to be ported and game-ify/crowdsource the rest of the
porting (at least of the middle end; the backend is still unclear).
I will however be taking personal responsibility for ensuring that the
LLD/ELF LTO pipeline is ported in a timely fashion. The remaining passes
to be ported are (do something like
`git grep "<the string in the bullet point below>"` to find the pass):
General Scalar:
[ ] Simplify the CFG
[ ] Jump Threading
[ ] MemCpy Optimization
[ ] Promote Memory to Register
[ ] MergedLoadStoreMotion
[ ] Lazy Value Information Analysis
General IPO:
[ ] Dead Argument Elimination
[ ] Deduce function attributes in RPO
Loop stuff / vectorization stuff:
[ ] Alignment from assumptions
[ ] Canonicalize natural loops
[ ] Delete dead loops
[ ] Loop Access Analysis
[ ] Loop Invariant Code Motion
[ ] Loop Vectorization
[ ] SLP Vectorizer
[ ] Unroll loops
Devirtualization / CFI:
[ ] Cross-DSO CFI
[ ] Whole program devirtualization
[ ] Lower bitset metadata
CGSCC passes:
[ ] Function Integration/Inlining
[ ] Remove unused exception handling info
[ ] Promote 'by reference' arguments to scalars
Please let me know if you are interested in working on any of the passes
in the above list (e.g. reply to the post-commit thread for this patch).
I'll probably be tackling "General Scalar" and "General IPO" first FWIW.
Steps as I port "Deduce function attributes in RPO"
---------------------------------------------------
(note: if you are doing any work based on these notes, please leave a
note in the post-commit review thread for this commit with any
improvements / suggestions / incompleteness you ran into!)
Note: "Deduce function attributes in RPO" is a module pass.
1. Do preparatory refactoring.
Do preparatory factoring. In this case all I had to do was to pull out a static helper (r272503).
(TODO: give more advice here e.g. if pass holds state or something)
2. Rename the old pass class.
llvm/lib/Transforms/IPO/FunctionAttrs.cpp
Rename class ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrs -> ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsLegacyPass
in preparation for adding a class ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrs as the pass in the new PM.
(edit: actually wait what? The new class name will be
ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass, so it doesn't conflict. So this step is
sort of useless churn).
llvm/include/llvm/InitializePasses.h
llvm/lib/LTO/LTOCodeGenerator.cpp
llvm/lib/Transforms/IPO/IPO.cpp
llvm/lib/Transforms/IPO/FunctionAttrs.cpp
Rename initializeReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass -> initializeReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsLegacyPassPass
(note that the "PassPass" thing falls out of `s/ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrs/ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsLegacyPass/`)
Note that the INITIALIZE_PASS macro is what creates this identifier name, so renaming the class requires this renaming too.
Note that createReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass does not need to be
renamed since its name is not generated from the class name.
3. Add the new PM pass class.
In the new PM all passes need to have their
declaration in a header somewhere, so you will often need to add a header.
In this case
llvm/include/llvm/Transforms/IPO/FunctionAttrs.h is already there because
PostOrderFunctionAttrsPass was already ported.
The file-level comment from the .cpp file can be used as the file-level
comment for the new header. You may want to tweak the wording slightly
from "this file implements" to "this file provides" or similar.
Add declaration for the new PM pass in this header:
class ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass
: public PassInfoMixin<ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass> {
public:
PreservedAnalyses run(Module &M, AnalysisManager<Module> &AM);
};
Its name should end with `Pass` for consistency (note that this doesn't
collide with the names of most old PM passes). E.g. call it
`<name of the old PM pass>Pass`.
Also, move the doxygen comment from the old PM pass to the declaration of
this class in the header.
Also, include the declaration for the new PM class
`llvm/Transforms/IPO/FunctionAttrs.h` at the top of the file (in this case,
it was already done when the other pass in this file was ported).
Now define the `run` method for the new class.
The main things here are:
a) Use AM.getResult<...>(M) to get results instead of `getAnalysis<...>()`
b) If the old PM pass would have returned "false" (i.e. `Changed ==
false`), then you should return PreservedAnalyses::all();
c) In the old PM getAnalysisUsage method, observe the calls
`AU.addPreserved<...>();`.
In the case `Changed == true`, for each preserved analysis you should do
call `PA.preserve<...>()` on a PreservedAnalyses object and return it.
E.g.:
PreservedAnalyses PA;
PA.preserve<CallGraphAnalysis>();
return PA;
Note that calls to skipModule/skipFunction are not supported in the new PM
currently, so optnone and optimization bisect support do not work. You can
just drop those calls for now.
4. Add the pass to the new PM pass registry to make it available in opt.
In llvm/lib/Passes/PassBuilder.cpp add a #include for your header.
`#include "llvm/Transforms/IPO/FunctionAttrs.h"`
In this case there is already an include (from when
PostOrderFunctionAttrsPass was ported).
Add your pass to llvm/lib/Passes/PassRegistry.def
In this case, I added
`MODULE_PASS("rpo-functionattrs", ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass())`
The string is from the `INITIALIZE_PASS*` macros used in the old pass
manager.
Then choose a test that uses the pass and use the new PM `-passes=...` to
run it.
E.g. in this case there is a test that does:
; RUN: opt < %s -basicaa -functionattrs -rpo-functionattrs -S | FileCheck %s
I have added the line:
; RUN: opt < %s -aa-pipeline=basic-aa -passes='require<targetlibinfo>,cgscc(function-attrs),rpo-functionattrs' -S | FileCheck %s
The `-aa-pipeline=basic-aa` and
`require<targetlibinfo>,cgscc(function-attrs)` are what is needed to run
functionattrs in the new PM (note that in the new PM "functionattrs"
becomes "function-attrs" for some reason). This is just pulled from
`readattrs.ll` which contains the change from when functionattrs was ported
to the new PM.
Adding rpo-functionattrs causes the pass that was just ported to run.

Summary:
The module pass pipeline includes a late LICM run after loop
unrolling. LCSSA is implicitly run as a pass dependency of LICM. However no
cleanup pass was run after this, so the LCSSA nodes ended in the optimized output.

The assumption, made in insert() that weak functions are always inserted after strong functions,
is only true in the first round of adding functions.
In subsequent rounds this is no longer guaranteed , because we might remove a strong function from the tree (because it's modified) and add it later,
where an equivalent weak function already exists in the tree.
This change removes the assert in insert() and explicitly enforces a weak->strong order.
This also removes the need of two separate loops in runOnModule().
llvm-svn: 271299
As a result of D18634 we no longer infer certain attributes on linkonce_odr
functions at compile time, and may only infer them at LTO time. The readnone
attribute in particular is required for virtual constant propagation (part
of whole-program virtual call optimization) to work correctly.
This change moves the whole-program virtual call optimization pass after
the function attribute inference passes, and enables the attribute inference
passes at opt level 1, so that virtual constant propagation has a chance to
work correctly for linkonce_odr functions.

Move the now index-based ODR resolution and internalization routines out
of ThinLTOCodeGenerator.cpp and into either LTO.cpp (index-based

This is to enable usage by other linkers.

A volatile load has side effects beyond what callers expect readonly to

Remove the ModuleLevelChanges argument, and the ability to create new
subprograms for cloned functions. The latter was added without review in
r203662, but it has no in-tree clients (all non-test callers pass false
for ModuleLevelChanges [1], so it isn't reachable outside of tests). It
also isn't clear that adding a duplicate subprogram to the compile unit is
always the right thing to do when cloning a function within a module. If
this functionality comes back it should be accompanied with a more concrete
use case.
Furthermore, all in-tree clients add the returned function to the module.
Since that's pretty much the only sensible thing you can do with the function,
just do that in CloneFunction.

The plan is to eventually make this logic simpler, however I expect it to
be a little tricky for the foreseeable future (at least until we're rid of

Summary:
The original ThinLTO pipeline was derived from some
work I did tuning FullLTO on the test suite and SPEC. This
patch reduces the amount of work done in the "linker phase" of
the build, and extend the function simplifications passes
performed during the "compile phase". This helps the build time
by reducing the IR as much as possible during the compile phase
and limiting the work to be performed during the "link phase",
while keeping the performance "on par" with the existing pipeline.

Summary:
When launching ThinLTO backends in a distributed build (currently
supported in gold via the thinlto-index-only plugin option), emit
an individual index file for each backend process as described here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-April/098272.html
The individual index file encodes the summary and module information
required for implementing the importing/exporting decisions made
for a given module in the thin link step.
This is in place of the current mechanism that uses the combined index
to make importing decisions in each back end independently. It is an
enabler for doing global summary based optimizations in the thin link
step (which will be recorded in the individual index files), and reduces
the size of the index that must be sent to each backend process, and
the amount of work to scan it in the backends.
Rather than create entirely new ModuleSummaryIndex structures (and all
the included unique_ptrs) for each backend index file, a map is created
to record all of the GUID and summary pointers needed for a particular
index file. The IndexBitcodeWriter walks this map instead of the full
index (hiding the details of managing the appropriate summary iteration
in a new iterator subclass). This is more efficient than walking the
entire combined index and filtering out just the needed summaries during
each backend bitcode index write.
Depends on D19481.
