Remove the command line argument "struct-path-tbaa" since we should not depend
on command line argument to decide which format the IR file is using. Instead,
we check the first operand of the tbaa tag node, if it is a MDNode, we treat
it as struct-path aware TBAA format, otherwise, we treat it as scalar TBAA
format.
When clang starts to use struct-path aware TBAA format no matter whether
struct-path-tbaa is no, and we can auto-upgrade existing bc files, the support
for scalar TBAA format can be dropped.
Existing testing cases are updated to use the struct-path aware TBAA format.

This is safe per C++11 18.6.1.1p3: [operator new returns] a non-null pointer to

Revert 191122 - with extra checks we are allowed to vectorize math library
function calls.
Standard library indentifiers are reserved names so functions with external
linkage must not overrided them. However, functions with internal linkage can.
Therefore, we can vectorize calls to math library functions with a check for
external linkage and matching signature. This matches what we do during
SelectionDAG building.

Overflow doesn't affect the correctness of equalities. Computing this is cheap,
we just reuse the computation for the inbounds case and try to peel of more

SROA wants to convert any types of equivalent widths but it's not possible to
convert vectors of pointers to an integer scalar with a single cast. As a
workaround we add a bitcast to the corresponding int ptr type first. This type
of cast used to be an edge case but has become common with SLP vectorization.

Reapply r191108 with a fix for a memory corruption error I introduced. Of
course, we can't reference the scalars that we replace by vectorizing and then
call their eraseFromParent method. I only 'needed' the scalars to get the
DebugLoc. Just store the DebugLoc before actually vectorizing instead. As a nice
side effect, this also simplifies the interface between BoUpSLP and the
HorizontalReduction class to returning a value pointer (the vectorized tree
root).

If "C1/X" were having multiple uses, the only benefit of this
transformation is to potentially shorten critical path. But it is at the
cost of instroducing additional div.
The additional div may or may not incur cost depending on how div is
implemented. If it is implemented using Newton–Raphson iteration, it dosen't
seem to incur any cost (FIXME). However, if the div blocks the entire
pipeline, that sounds to be pretty expensive. Let CodeGen to take care

This is how it ignores the dead code:
1) When a dead branch target, say block B, is identified, all the
blocks dominated by B is dead as well.
2) The PHIs of those blocks in dominance-frontier(B) is updated such
that the operands corresponding to dead predecessors are replaced
by "UndefVal".
Using lattice's jargon, the "UndefVal" is the "Top" in essence.
Phi node like this "phi(v1 bb1, undef xx)" will be optimized into
"v1" if v1 is constant, or v1 is an instruction which dominate this
PHI node.
3) When analyzing the availability of a load L, all dead mem-ops which
L depends on disguise as a load which evaluate exactly same value as L.
4) The dead mem-ops will be materialized as "UndefVal" during code motion.

other in memory.
The motivation was to get rid of truncate and shift right instructions that get
in the way of paired load or floating point load.
E.g.,
Consider the following example:
struct Complex {
float real;
float imm;
};
When accessing a complex, llvm was generating a 64-bits load and the imm field
was obtained by a trunc(lshr) sequence, resulting in poor code generation, at
least for x86.
The idea is to declare that two load instructions is the canonical form for
loading two arithmetic type, which are next to each other in memory.
Two scalar loads at a constant offset from each other are pretty
easy to detect for the sorts of passes that like to mess with loads.

This pass was based on the previous (essentially unused) profiling
infrastructure and the assumption that by ordering the basic blocks at
the IR level in a particular way, the correct layout would happen in the
end. This sometimes worked, and mostly didn't. It also was a really
naive implementation of the classical paper that dates from when branch
predictors were primarily directional and when loop structure wasn't
commonly available. It also didn't factor into the equation
non-fallthrough branches and other machine level details.
Anyways, for all of these reasons and more, I wrote
MachineBlockPlacement, which completely supercedes this pass. It both
uses modern profile information infrastructure, and actually works. =]

Several architectures use the same instruction to perform both a comparison and
a subtract. The instruction selection framework does not allow to consider
different basic blocks to expose such fusion opportunities.
Therefore, these instructions are “merged” by CSE at MI IR level.
To increase the likelihood of CSE to apply in such situation, we reorder the
operands of the comparison, when they have the same complexity, so that they
matches the order of the most frequent subtract.

icmp A, B

This reverts commit r189886.
I found a corner case where this optimization is not valid:
Say we have a "linkonce_odr unnamed_addr" in two translation units:
* In TU 1 this optimization kicks in and makes it hidden.
* In TU 2 it gets const merged with a constant that is *not* unnamed_addr,
resulting in a non unnamed_addr constant with default visibility.
* The static linker rules for combining visibility them produce a hidden
symbol, which is incorrect from the point of view of the non unnamed_addr
constant.
The one place we can do this is when we know that the symbol is not used from
another TU in the same shared object, i.e., during LTO. I will move it there.

"(icmp op i8 A, B)" is equivalent to "(icmp op i8 (A & 0xff), B)" as a
degenerate case. Allowing this as a "masked" comparison when analysing "(icmp)

rdar://problem/7625728
llvm-svn: 189931
Even in cases which aren't universally optimisable like "(A & B) != 0 && (A &
C) != 0", the masks can make one of the comparisons completely redundant. In
this case, since we've gone to the effort of spotting masked comparisons we
should combine them.
rdar://problem/7625728
llvm-svn: 189930
Original message:
If a constant or a function has linkonce_odr linkage and unnamed_addr, mark
hidden. Being linkonce_odr guarantees that it is available in every dso that
needs it. Being a constant/function with unnamed_addr guarantees that the
copies don't have to be merged.

The reason that I am turning off this optimization is that there is an
additional case where a block can escape that has come up. Specifically, this
occurs when a block is used in a scope outside of its current scope.
This can cause a captured retainable object pointer whose life is preserved by
the objc_retainBlock to be deallocated before the block is invoked.
An example of the code needed to trigger the bug is:
----
\#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
void (^somethingToDoLater)();
{
NSObject *obj = [NSObject new];
somethingToDoLater = ^{
[obj self]; // Crashes here
};
}
NSLog(@"test.");
somethingToDoLater();
return 0;
}

When unrolling is disabled in the pass manager, the loop vectorizer should also
not unroll loops. This will allow the -fno-unroll-loops option in Clang to
behave as expected (even for vectorizable loops). The loop vectorizer's
-force-vector-unroll option will (continue to) override the pass-manager
setting (including -force-vector-unroll=0 to force use of the internal
auto-selection logic).
In order to test this, I added a flag to opt (-disable-loop-unrolling) to force
disable unrolling through opt (the analog of -fno-unroll-loops in Clang). Also,
this fixes a small bug in opt where the loop vectorizer was enabled only after
the pass manager populated the queue of passes (the global_alias.ll test needed
a slight update to the RUN line as a result of this fix).

The current version of StripDeadDebugInfo became stale and no longer actually
worked since it was expecting an older version of debug info.
This patch updates it to use DebugInfoFinder and the modern DebugInfo classes as
much as possible to make it more redundent to such changes. Additionally, the
only place where that was avoided (the code where we replace the old sets with
the new), I call verify on the DIContextUnit implying that if the format changes
and my live set changes no longer make sense an assert will be hit. In order to
ensure that that occurs I have included a test case.
The actual stripping of the dead debug info follows the same strategy as was
used before in this class: find the live set and replace the old set in the
given compile unit (which may contain dead global variables/functions) with the
new live one.

using GEPs. Previously, it used a number of different heuristics for
analyzing the GEPs. Several of these were conservatively correct, but
failed to fall back to SCEV even when SCEV might have given a reasonable
answer. One was simply incorrect in how it was formulated.
There was good code already to recursively evaluate the constant offsets
in GEPs, look through pointer casts, etc. I gathered this into a form
code like the SLP code can use in a previous commit, which allows all of
this code to become quite simple.
There is some performance (compile time) concern here at first glance as
we're directly attempting to walk both pointers constant GEP chains.
However, a couple of thoughts:
1) The very common cases where there is a dynamic pointer, and a second
pointer at a constant offset (usually a stride) from it, this code
will actually not do any unnecessary work.
2) InstCombine and other passes work very hard to collapse constant
GEPs, so it will be rare that we iterate here for a long time.
That said, if there remain performance problems here, there are some
obvious things that can improve the situation immensely. Doing
a vectorizer-pass-wide memoizer for each individual layer of pointer
values, their base values, and the constant offset is likely to be able
to completely remove redundant work and strictly limit the scaling of
the work to scrape these GEPs. Since this optimization was not done on
the prior version (which would still benefit from it), I've not done it
here. But if folks have benchmarks that slow down it should be straight
forward for them to add.
I've added a test case, but I'm not really confident of the amount of
testing done for different access patterns, strides, and pointer
manipulation.

This adds a llvm.copysign intrinsic; We already have Libfunc recognition for
copysign (which is turned into the FCOPYSIGN SDAG node). In order to
autovectorize calls to copysign in the loop vectorizer, we need a corresponding
intrinsic as well.
In addition to the expected changes to the language reference, the loop
vectorizer, BasicTTI, and the SDAG builder (the intrinsic is transformed into
an FCOPYSIGN node, just like the function call), this also adds FCOPYSIGN to a
few lists in LegalizeVector{Ops,Types} so that vector copysigns can be
expanded.
In TargetLoweringBase::initActions, I've made the default action for FCOPYSIGN
be Expand for vector types. This seems correct for all in-tree targets, and I
think is the right thing to do because, previously, there was no way to generate
vector-values FCOPYSIGN nodes (and most targets don't specify an action for
vector-typed FCOPYSIGN).

When computing the use set of a store, we need to add the store to the write
set prior to iterating over later instructions. Otherwise, if there is a later
aliasing load of that store, that load will not be tagged as a use, and bad
things will happen.
trackUsesOfI still adds later dependent stores of an instruction to that
instruction's write set, but it never sees the original instruction, and so
when tracking uses of a store, the store must be added to the write set by the
caller.

work that I've left FIXMEs for and which I'll address in the next
commit. I wanted to separate this commit as it changes the behavior.
Once the redundant work in removing the dead uses of the alloca is
fixed, this code appears to be faster than the old version. =]
So why is this useful? Because the previous requirement for promotion
required a *specific* visit pattern of the uses of the alloca to verify:
we *had* to look for no more than 1 intervening use. The end goal is to
have SROA automatically detect when an alloca is already promotable and
directly hand it to the mem2reg machinery rather than trying to
partition and rewrite it. This is a 25% or more performance improvement
for SROA, and a significant chunk of the delta between it and
ScalarRepl. To get there, we need to make mem2reg actually capable of
promoting allocas which *look* promotable to SROA without have SROA do
tons of work to massage the code into just the right form.
This is actually the tip of the iceberg. There are tremendous potential
savings we can realize here by de-duplicating work between mem2reg and
SROA.

Also avoid locals evicting locals just because they want a cheaper register.
Problem: MI Sched knows exactly how many registers we have and assumes
they can be colored. In cases where we have large blocks, usually from
unrolled loops, greedy coloring fails. This is a source of
"regressions" from the MI Scheduler on x86. I noticed this issue on
x86 where we have long chains of two-address defs in the same live
range. It's easy to see this in matrix multiplication benchmarks like
IRSmk and even the unit test misched-matmul.ll.
A fundamental difference between the LLVM register allocator and
conventional graph coloring is that in our model a live range can't
discover its neighbors, it can only verify its neighbors. That's why
we initially went for greedy coloring and added eviction to deal with
the hard cases. However, for singly defined and two-address live
ranges, we can optimally color without visiting neighbors simply by
processing the live ranges in instruction order.
Other beneficial side effects:
It is much easier to understand and debug regalloc for large blocks
when the live ranges are allocated in order. Yes, global allocation is
still very confusing, but it's nice to be able to comprehend what
happened locally.
Heuristics could be added to bias register assignment based on
instruction locality (think late register pairing, banks...).
Intuituvely this will make some test cases that are on the threshold
of register pressure more stable.

Make sure the context and type fields are MDNodes. We will generate
verification errors if those fields are non-empty strings.
Fix testing cases to make them pass the verifier.

The language reference says that:
"If a symbol appears in the @llvm.used list, then the compiler,
assembler, and linker are required to treat the symbol as if there is
a reference to the symbol that it cannot see"
Since even the linker cannot see the reference, we must assume that
the reference can be using the symbol table. For example, a user can add
__attribute__((used)) to a debug helper function like dump and use it from
a debugger.

schedule an alloca for another iteration in SROA. This only showed up
with a mixture of promotable and unpromotable selects and phis. Added
a test case for this.

pending speculation for a phi node. The problem here is that we were
using growth of the specluation set as an indicator of whether
speculation would occur, and if the phi node is already in the set we
don't see it grow. This is a symptom of the fact that this signal is
a total hack.
Unfortunately, I couldn't really come up with a non-hacky way of
signaling that promotion remains valid *after* speculation occurs, such
that we only speculate when all else looks good for promotion. In the
end, I went with at least a much more explicit approach of doing the
work of queuing inside the phi and select processing and setting
a preposterously named flag to convey that we're in the special state of
requiring speculating before promotion.
Thanks to Richard Trieu and Nick Lewycky for the excellent work reducing
a testcase for this from a pretty giant, nasty assert in a big
application. =] The testcase was excellent.

MDNodes used by DbgDeclareInst and DbgValueInst.
Another 16 testing cases failed and they are disabled with
-disable-debug-info-verifier.
A total of 34 cases are disabled with -disable-debug-info-verifier and will be
corrected.

GlobalOpt simplifies llvm.compiler.used by removing any members that are also
in the more strict llvm.used. Handle the special case where llvm.compiler.used
becomes empty.

We were incorrectly using compiler_used instead of compiler.used. Unfortunately
the passes using the broken name had tests also using the broken name.
