Arnold Schwaighofer 76dca58c66 BasicAA: GEPs of NoAlias'ing base ptr with equivalent indices are NoAlias
If we can show that the base pointers of two GEPs don't alias each other using
precise analysis and the indices and base offset are equal then the two GEPs
also don't alias each other.
This is primarily needed for the follow up patch that analyses NoAlias'ing PHI
nodes.

Part 1/2 of fix for PR13564.

Benjamin Kramer 6c2649ca4e Switch BasicAliasAnalysis' cache to SmallDenseMap.
It relies on clear() being fast and the cache rarely has more than 1 or 2
elements, so give it an inline capacity and always shrink it back down in case
it grows. DenseMap will grow to 64 buckets which makes clear() a lot slower.

Benjamin Kramer 8bcc971174 Make MemoryBuiltins aware of TargetLibraryInfo.
This disables malloc-specific optimization when -fno-builtin (or -ffreestanding)
is specified. This has been a problem for a long time but became more severe
with the recent memory builtin improvements.

Since the memory builtin functions are used everywhere, this required passing
TLI in many places. This means that functions that now have an optional TLI
argument, like RecursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadFunctions, won't remove dead
mallocs anymore if the TLI argument is missing. I've updated most passes to do
the right thing.

Fixes PR13694 and probably others.

Nuno Lopes 55fff83422 refactor the MemoryBuiltin analysis:
- provide more extensive set of functions to detect library allocation functions (e.g., malloc, calloc, strdup, etc)
 - provide an API to compute the size and offset of an object pointed by

Move a few clients (GVN, AA, instcombine, ...) to the new API.
This implementation is a lot more aggressive than each of the custom implementations being replaced.

Patch reviewed by Nick Lewycky and Chandler Carruth, thanks.

Owen Anderson 6c18d1aac0 Get rid of static constructors for pass registration. Instead, every pass exposes an initializeMyPassFunction(), which
must be called in the pass's constructor.  This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.

Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes.  Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.

I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin.  It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options.  If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.

Dan Gohman 00ef93258a Remove interprocedural-basic-aa and associated code. The AliasAnalysis
interface needs implementations to be consistent, so any code which
wants to support different semantics must use a different interface.
It's not currently worthwhile to add a new interface for this new
concept.

Document that AliasAnalysis doesn't support cross-function queries.

Chris Lattner 29bc8a91d3 Teach basicaa that x|c == x+c when the c bits of x are clear. This

	movl	%esi, 16(%rdx,%rax)
	imull	%ecx, %esi
	movl	%esi, 20(%rdx,%rax)
	addq	$16, %rax
	cmpq	$4000, %rax
	jne	LBB1_1

instead of:

LBB1_1: 
	movl	(%rdx,%rax), %ecx
	imull	4(%rdx,%rax), %ecx
	movl	%ecx, 8(%rdx,%rax)
	imull	4(%rdx,%rax), %ecx
	movl	%ecx, 12(%rdx,%rax)
	imull	8(%rdx,%rax), %ecx
	movl	%ecx, 16(%rdx,%rax)
	imull	12(%rdx,%rax), %ecx
	movl	%ecx, 20(%rdx,%rax)
	addq	$16, %rax
	cmpq	$4000, %rax
	jne	LBB1_1

GCC (4.2) doesn't seem to be able to eliminate the loads in this 
testcase either, it generates:

	movl	(%rdx), %eax
	imull	4(%rdx), %eax
	movl	%eax, 8(%rdx)

Chris Lattner 7a5b56aca9 Change the other half of aliasGEP (which handles GEP differencing) to use DecomposeGEPExpression. This dramatically simplifies and shrinks the code by eliminating the horrible CheckGEPInstructions method, fixes a miscompilation (@test3) and makes the code more aggressive. In particular, we now handle the @test4 case, which is reduced from the SmallPtrSet constructor. Missing this caused us to emit a variable length memset instead of a fixed size one.
