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.

We were keeping a reference to an object in a DenseMap then mutating it. At the end of the function we were attempting to clone that reference into other keys in the DenseMap, but DenseMap may well decide to resize its hashtable which would invalidate the reference!
It took an extremely complex testcase to catch this - many thanks to Zhendong Su for catching it in PR25225.
This fixes PR25225.

Weak linkage and friends allow a symbol to be overriden outside the
code generator's model, so GlobalsAA shouldn't assume that anything it
can compute about such a symbol is valid.

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.

DeletionCallbackHandle holds GAR in its creation. It assumes;
- It is registered as CallbackVH. It should not be moved in its life.
- Its parent, GAR, may be moved.
To move list<DeletionCallbackHandle> GlobalsAAResult::Handles,
GAR must be updated with the destination in GlobalsAAResult(&&).

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
equivalently functional after this change.
