These intrinsics currently have an explicit alignment argument which is
required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
source and dest, and so must be the minimum of those.
This change allows source and dest to each have their own alignments
by using the alignment attribute on their arguments. The alignment
argument itself is removed.
There are a few places in the code for which the code needs to be
checked by an expert as to whether using only src/dest alignment is
safe. For those places, they currently take the minimum of src/dest
alignments which matches the current behaviour.
For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 500, i32 8, i1 false)
will now read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 8 %dest, i8* align 8 %src, i32 500, i1 false)
For out of tree owners, I was able to strip alignment from calls using sed by replacing:
(call.*llvm\.memset.*)i32\ [0-9]*\,\ i1 false\)
with:
$1i1 false)
and similarly for memmove and memcpy.
I then added back in alignment to test cases which needed it.
A similar commit will be made to clang which actually has many differences in alignment as now
IRBuilder can generate different source/dest alignments on calls.
In IRBuilder itself, a new argument was added. Instead of calling:
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
you now call
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, SrcAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
There is a temporary class (IntegerAlignment) which takes the source alignment and rejects
implicit conversion from bool. This is to prevent isVolatile here from passing its default
parameter to the source alignment.
Note, changes in future can now be made to codegen. I didn't change anything here, but this
change should enable better memcpy code sequences.

Thanks to Jakob's help, this now causes no new test suite failures!
Over the entire test suite, this gives an average 1% speedup. The largest speedups are:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/pi - 108%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/CoyoteBench/lpbench - 54%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Prolangs-C/unix-smail/unix-smail - 50%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/ary3 - 32%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/matrix - 30%
The largest slowdowns are:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/mediabench/gsm/toast/toast - -30%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Prolangs-C/bison/mybison - -25%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/BitBench/uuencode/uuencode - -22%
MultiSource/Applications/d/make_dparser - -14%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/ary - -13%
In light of these slowdowns, additional profiling work is obviously needed!

The pass itself works well, but the something in the Machine* infrastructure
does not understand terminators which define registers. Without the ability
to use the block-placement pass, etc. this causes performance regressions (and
so is turned off by default). Turning off the analysis turns off the problems
with the Machine* infrastructure.

The code which tests for an induction operation cannot assume that any
ADDI instruction will have a register operand because the operand could
also be a frame index; for example:
%vreg16<def> = ADDI8 <fi#0>, 0; G8RC:%vreg16
