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.

This changes the tests that were targeting ARM EABI to explicitly specify the
environment rather than relying on the default. This breaks with the new
Windows on ARM support when running the tests on Windows where the default
environment is no longer EABI.
Take the opportunity to avoid a pointless redirect (helps when trying to debug
with providing a command line invocation which can be copy and pasted) and
removing a few greps in favour of FileCheck.

This is being disabled because it is no longer needed for
performance. It is only used by postRAscheduler which is also planned
for removal, and it is implemented with an out-dated view of register
liveness. It consideres aliases instead of register units, assumes
valid kill flags, and assumes implicit uses on partial register
defs. Kill flags and implicit operands are error prone and impossible
to verify. We should gradually eliminate dependence on them in the
postRA phases.
Targets that still benefit from this should move to the MI
scheduler. If that doesn't solve the problem, then we should add a
hook to regalloc to optimize reload placement.

1. Teach it to use overlapping unaligned load / store to copy / set the trailing
bytes. e.g. On 86, use two pairs of movups / movaps for 17 - 31 byte copies.
2. Use f64 for memcpy / memset on targets where i64 is not legal but f64 is. e.g.
x86 and ARM.
3. When memcpy from a constant string, do *not* replace the load with a constant
if it's not possible to materialize an integer immediate with a single
instruction (required a new target hook: TLI.isIntImmLegal()).
4. Use unaligned load / stores more aggressively if target hooks indicates they
are "fast".
5. Update ARM target hooks to use unaligned load / stores. e.g. vld1.8 / vst1.8.
Also increase the threshold to something reasonable (8 for memset, 4 pairs
for memcpy).
This significantly improves Dhrystone, up to 50% on ARM iOS devices.

Also use vld1.64 / vst1.64 with 128-bit alignment to take advantage of alignment
hints. rdar://12090772, rdar://12238782
