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.

realignment should be forced.
With this commit, we can now force stack realignment when doing LTO and
do so on a per-function basis. Also, add a new cl::opt option
"stackrealign" to CommandFlags.h which is used to force stack
realignment via llc's command line.
Out-of-tree projects currently using -force-align-stack to force stack
realignment should make changes to attach the attribute to the functions
in the IR.

This patch does the following:
* Fix FIXME on `needsStackRealignment`: it is now shared between multiple targets, implemented in `TargetRegisterInfo`, and isn't `virtual` anymore. This will break out-of-tree targets, silently if they used `virtual` and with a build error if they used `override`.
* Factor out `canRealignStack` as a `virtual` function on `TargetRegisterInfo`, by default only looks for the `no-realign-stack` function attribute.
Multiple targets duplicated the same `needsStackRealignment` code:
- Aarch64.
- ARM.
- Mips almost: had extra `DEBUG` diagnostic, which the default implementation now has.
- PowerPC.
- WebAssembly.
- x86 almost: has an extra `-force-align-stack` option, which the default implementation now has.
The default implementation of `needsStackRealignment` used to just return `false`. My current patch changes the behavior by simply using the above shared behavior. This affects:
- AMDGPU
- BPF
- CppBackend
- MSP430
- NVPTX
- Sparc
- SystemZ
- XCore
- Out-of-tree targets
This is a breaking change! `make check` passes.
The only implementation of the `virtual` function (besides the slight different in x86) was Hexagon (which did `MF.getFrameInfo()->getMaxAlignment() > 8`), and potentially some out-of-tree targets. Hexagon now uses the default implementation.
`needsStackRealignment` was being overwritten in `<Target>GenRegisterInfo.inc`, to return `false` as the default also did. That was odd and is now gone.
