analyses in the new pass manager.
These just handle really basic stuff: turning a type name into a string
statically that is nice to print in logs, and getting a static unique ID
for each analysis.
Sadly, the format of passes in anonymous namespaces makes using their
names in tests really annoying so I've customized the names of the no-op
passes to keep tests sane to read.
This is the first of a few simplifying refactorings for the new pass
manager that should reduce boilerplate and confusion.

This lets everything live together nicely, but it isn't really useful
yet. I never finished wiring the AA layer up for the new pass manager,
and so subsequent patches will change this to do that wiring and get AA
stuff more fully integrated into the new pass manager. Turns out this is

Summary:
Passes that call `getAnalysisIfAvailable<T>` also need to call
`addUsedIfAvailable<T>` in `getAnalysisUsage` to indicate to the
legacy pass manager that it uses `T`. This contract was being
violated by passes that used `createLegacyPMAAResults`. This change
fixes this by exposing a helper in AliasAnalysis.h,
`addUsedAAAnalyses`, that is complementary to createLegacyPMAAResults
and does the right thing when called from `getAnalysisUsage`.

"external" AA wrapper pass.
This is a generic hook that can be used to thread custom code into the
primary AAResultsWrapperPass for the legacy pass manager in order to
allow it to merge external AA results into the AA results it is
building. It does this by threading in a raw callback and so it is
*very* powerful and should serve almost any use case I have come up with
for extending the set of alias analyses used. The only thing not well
supported here is using a *different order* of alias analyses. That form
of extension *is* supportable with the new pass manager, and I can make
the callback structure here more elaborate to support it in the legacy
pass manager if this is a critical use case that people are already
depending on, but the only use cases I have heard of thus far should be
reasonably satisfied by this simpler extension mechanism.
It is hard to test this using normal facilities (the built-in AAs don't
use this for obvious reasons) so I've written a fairly extensive set of
custom passes in the alias analysis unit test that should be an
excellent test case because it models the out-of-tree users: it adds
a totally custom AA to the system. This should also serve as
a reasonably good example and guide for out-of-tree users to follow in
order to rig up their existing alias analyses.
No support in opt for commandline control is provided here however. I'm
really unhappy with the kind of contortions that would be required to
support that. It would fully re-introduce the analysis group
self-recursion kind of patterns. =/
I've heard from out-of-tree users that this will unblock their use cases
with extending AAs on top of the new infrastructure and let us retain
the new analysis-group-free-world.

Remove implicit ilist iterator conversions from LLVMAnalysis.
I came across something really scary in `llvm::isKnownNotFullPoison()`
which relied on `Instruction::getNextNode()` being completely broken
(not surprising, but scary nevertheless). This function is documented
(and coded to) return `nullptr` when it gets to the sentinel, but with
an `ilist_half_node` as a sentinel, the sentinel check looks into some
other memory and we don't recognize we've hit the end.
Rooting out these scary cases is the reason I'm removing the implicit
conversions before doing anything else with `ilist`; I'm not at all
surprised that clients rely on badness.
I found another scary case -- this time, not relying on badness, just
bad (but I guess getting lucky so far) -- in
`ObjectSizeOffsetEvaluator::compute_()`. Here, we save out the
insertion point, do some things, and then restore it. Previously, we
let the iterator auto-convert to `Instruction*`, and then set it back
using the `Instruction*` version:
Instruction *PrevInsertPoint = Builder.GetInsertPoint();
/* Logic that may change insert point */
if (PrevInsertPoint)
Builder.SetInsertPoint(PrevInsertPoint);
The check for `PrevInsertPoint` doesn't protect correctly against bad
accesses. If the insertion point has been set to the end of a basic
block (i.e., `SetInsertPoint(SomeBB)`), then `GetInsertPoint()` returns
an iterator pointing at the list sentinel. The version of
`SetInsertPoint()` that's getting called will then call
`PrevInsertPoint->getParent()`, which explodes horribly. The only
reason this hasn't blown up is that it's fairly unlikely the builder is
adding to the end of the block; usually, we're adding instructions
somewhere before the terminator.

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.

This patch is a follow up from r240560 and is a step further into
mitigating the compile time performance issues in CaptureTracker.
By providing the CaptureTracker with a "cached ordered basic block"
instead of computing it every time, MemDepAnalysis can use this cache
throughout its calls to AA->callCapturesBefore, avoiding to recompute it
for every scanned instruction. In the same testcase used in r240560,
compile time is reduced from 2min to 30s.

preparation for de-coupling the AA implementations.
In order to do this, they had to become fake-scoped using the
traditional LLVM pattern of a leading initialism. These can't be actual
scoped enumerations because they're bitfields and thus inherently we use
them as integers.
I've also renamed the behavior enums that are specific to reasoning
about the mod/ref behavior of functions when called. This makes it more
clear that they have a very narrow domain of applicability.
I think there is a significantly cleaner API for all of this, but
I don't want to try to do really substantive changes for now, I just
want to refactor the things away from analysis groups so I'm preserving
the exact original design and just cleaning up the names, style, and

directly model in the new PM.
This also was an incredibly brittle and expensive update API that was
never fully utilized by all the passes that claimed to preserve AA, nor
could it reasonably have been extended to all of them. Any number of
places add uses of values. If we ever wanted to reliably instrument
this, we would want a callback hook much like we have with ValueHandles,
but doing this for every use addition seems *extremely* expensive in
terms of compile time.
The only user of this update mechanism is GlobalsModRef. The idea of
using this to keep it up to date doesn't really work anyways as its
analysis requires a symmetric analysis of two different memory
locations. It would be very hard to make updates be sufficiently
rigorous to *guarantee* symmetric analysis in this way, and it pretty
certainly isn't true today.
However, folks have been using GMR with this update for a long time and
seem to not be hitting the issues. The reported issue that the update
hook fixes isn't even a problem any more as other changes to
GetUnderlyingObject worked around it, and that issue stemmed from *many*
years ago. As a consequence, a prior patch provided a flag to control
the unsafe behavior of GMR, and this patch removes the update mechanism
that has questionable compile-time tradeoffs and is causing problems
with moving to the new pass manager. Note the lack of test updates --
not one test in tree actually requires this update, even for a contrived
case.
All of this was extensively discussed on the dev list, this patch will
just enact what that discussion decides on. I'm sending it for review in
part to show what I'm planning, and in part to show the *amazing* amount
of work this avoids. Every call to the AA here is something like three
to six indirect function calls, which in the non-LTO pipeline never do
any work! =[

No in-tree alias analysis used this facility, and it was not called in
any particularly rigorous way, so it seems unlikely to be correct.
Note that one of the only stateful AA implementations in-tree,
GlobalsModRef is completely broken currently (and any AA passes like it
are equally broken) because Module AA passes are not effectively
invalidated when a function pass that fails to update the AA stack runs.
Ultimately, it doesn't seem like we know how we want to build stateful
AA, and until then trying to support and maintain correctness for an
untested API is essentially impossible. To that end, I'm planning to rip
out all of the update API. It can return if and when we need it and know
how to build it on top of the new pass manager and as part of *tested*
stateful AA implementations in the tree.
Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D10889

This will allow classes to implement the AA interface without deriving
from the class or referencing an internal enum of some other class as
their return types.
Also, to a pretty fundamental extent, concepts such as 'NoAlias',
'MayAlias', and 'MustAlias' are first class concepts in LLVM and we
aren't saving anything by scoping them heavily.
My mild preference would have been to use a scoped enum, but that
feature is essentially completely broken AFAICT. I'm extremely
disappointed. For example, we cannot through any reasonable[1] means
construct an enum class (or analog) which has scoped names but converts
to a boolean in order to test for the possibility of aliasing.
[1]: Richard Smith came up with a "solution", but it requires class
templates, and lots of boilerplate setting up the enumeration multiple
times. Something like Boost.PP could potentially bundle this up, but
even that would be quite painful and it doesn't seem realistically worth
it. The enum class solution would probably work without the need for
a bool conversion.

virtual interface on AliasAnalysis only deals with ModRef information.
This interface was both computing memory locations by using TLI and
other tricks to estimate the size of memory referenced by an operand,
and computing ModRef information through similar investigations. This
change narrows the scope of the virtual interface on AliasAnalysis
slightly.
Note that all of this code could live in BasicAA, and be done with
a single investigation of the argument, if it weren't for the fact that
the generic code in AliasAnalysis::getModRefBehavior for a callsite
calls into the virtual aspect of (now) getArgModRefInfo. But this
patch's arrangement seems a not terrible way to go for now.
The other interesting wrinkle is how we could reasonably extend LLVM
with support for custom memory location sizes and mod/ref behavior for
library routines. After discussions with Hal on the review, the
conclusion is that this would be best done by fleshing out the much
desired support for extensions to TLI, and support these types of
queries in that interface where we would likely be doing other library
API recognition and analysis.

All this does is extract the inner "location" class used by AA into its
own full fledged type. This seems *much* cleaner as MemoryDependence and
soon MemorySSA also use this heavily, and it doesn't make much sense
being inside the AA infrastructure.
This will also make it much easier to break apart the AA infrastructure
into something that stands on its own rather than using the analysis
group design.
There are a few places where this makes APIs not make sense -- they were
taking an AliasAnalysis pointer just to build locations. I'll try to
clean those up in follow-up commits.

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

Lots of delta, but nothing interesting happening here. This is the

In order to enable the preservation of noalias function parameter information
after inlining, and the representation of block-level __restrict__ pointer
information (etc.), additional kinds of aliasing metadata will be introduced.
This metadata needs to be carried around in AliasAnalysis::Location objects
(and MMOs at the SDAG level), and so we need to generalize the current scheme
(which is hard-coded to just one TBAA MDNode*).
This commit introduces only the necessary refactoring to allow for the
introduction of other aliasing metadata types, but does not actually introduce
any (that will come in a follow-up commit). What it does introduce is a new
AAMDNodes structure to hold all of the aliasing metadata nodes associated with
a particular memory-accessing instruction, and uses that structure instead of
the raw MDNode* in AliasAnalysis::Location, etc.

As it turns out, the capture tracker named CaptureBefore used by AA, and now
available via the PointerMayBeCapturedBefore function, would have been
more-aptly named CapturedBeforeOrAt, because it considers captures at the
instruction provided. This is not always what one wants, and it is difficult to
get the strictly-before behavior given only the current interface. This adds an
additional parameter which controls whether or not you want to include
captures at the provided instruction. The default is not to include the
instruction provided, so that 'Before' matches its name.

Original commit message:
BasicAA contains knowledge of certain intrinsics, such as memcpy and memset,
and uses that information to form more-accurate answers to CallSite vs. Loc
ModRef queries. Unfortunately, it did not use this information when answering
CallSite vs. CallSite queries.
Generically, when an intrinsic takes one or more pointers and the intrinsic is
marked only to read/write from its arguments, the offset/size is unknown. As a
result, the generic code that answers CallSite vs. CallSite (and CallSite vs.
Loc) queries in AA uses UnknownSize when forming Locs from an intrinsic's
arguments. While BasicAA's CallSite vs. Loc override could use more-accurate
size information for some intrinsics, it did not do the same for CallSite vs.
CallSite queries.
This change refactors the intrinsic-specific logic in BasicAA into a generic AA
query function: getArgLocation, which is overridden by BasicAA to supply the
intrinsic-specific knowledge, and used by AA's generic implementation. This
allows the intrinsic-specific knowledge to be used by both CallSite vs. Loc and
CallSite vs. CallSite queries, and simplifies the BasicAA implementation.
Currently, only one function, Mac's memset_pattern16, is handled by BasicAA
(all the rest are intrinsics). As a side-effect of this refactoring, BasicAA's
getModRefBehavior override now also returns OnlyAccessesArgumentPointees for
this function (which is an improvement).

Long term, I think there is going to be a much better way to divide
these matters. The dominators code should be fully separated into the
abstract graph algorithm and have that put in Support where it becomes
obvious that evn Clang's CFGBlock's can use it. Then the verifier can
manually construct dominance information from the Support-driven

caches, reconstructs, and supports a nice update API.
But those are very long term, and so I don't want to leave the really
