This refactors load folding to happen in two cleanly separated
steps: ConstantFoldLoadFromConstPtr() takes a pointer to load from
and decomposes it into a constant initializer base and an offset.
Then ConstantFoldLoadFromConst() loads from that initializer at
the given offset. This makes the core logic independent of having
actual GEP expressions (and those GEP expressions having certain
structure) and will allow exposing ConstantFoldLoadFromConst() as
an independent API in the future.
This is mostly only a refactoring, but it does make the folding
logic slightly more powerful.

I was looking at some missed optimizations in CHERI-enabled targets and
noticed that we weren't removing vtable indirection for calls via known
pointers-to-members. The underlying reason for this is that we represent
pointers-to-function-members as {i8 addrspace(200)*, i64} and generate the
constant offsets using (gep i8 null, <index>). We use a constant GEP here
since inttoptr should be avoided for CHERI capabilities. The pointer-to-member
call uses ptrtoint to extract the index, and due to this missing fold we can't
infer the actual value loaded from the vtable.
This is the initial constant folding change for this pattern, I will add
an InstCombine fold as a follow-up.
We could fold all inbounds GEP to null (and therefore the ptrtoint to
zero) since zero is the only valid offset for an inbounds GEP. If the
offset is not zero, that GEP is poison and therefore returning 0 is valid
(https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/Gzb5iH). However, Clang currently generates
inbounds GEPs on NULL for hand-written offsetof() expressions, so this
could lead to miscompilations.

TLDR: the original patch had no prior RFC, yet it had some changes that
really need a proper RFC discussion. It won't be productive to discuss
such an RFC, once it's actually posted, while said patch is already
committed, because that introduces bias towards already-committed stuff,
and the tree is potentially in broken state meanwhile.
While the end result of discussion may lead back to the current design,
it may also not lead to the current design.
Therefore i take it upon myself
to revert the tree back to last known good state.

This is recommit of the patch 16ff91ebcc,
reverted in 0c28a7c990 because it had
an error in call of getFastMathFlags (base type should be FPMathOperator
but not Instruction). The original commit message is duplicated below:
Clang has builtin function '__builtin_isnan', which implements C
library function 'isnan'. This function now is implemented entirely in
clang codegen, which expands the function into set of IR operations.
There are three mechanisms by which the expansion can be made.
* The most common mechanism is using an unordered comparison made by
instruction 'fcmp uno'. This simple solution is target-independent
and works well in most cases. It however is not suitable if floating
point exceptions are tracked. Corresponding IEEE 754 operation and C
function must never raise FP exception, even if the argument is a
signaling NaN. Compare instructions usually does not have such
property, they raise 'invalid' exception in such case. So this
mechanism is unsuitable when exception behavior is strict. In
particular it could result in unexpected trapping if argument is SNaN.
* Another solution was implemented in https://reviews.llvm.org/D95948.
It is used in the cases when raising FP exceptions by 'isnan' is not
allowed. This solution implements 'isnan' using integer operations.
It solves the problem of exceptions, but offers one solution for all
targets, however some can do the check in more efficient way.
* Solution implemented by https://reviews.llvm.org/D96568 introduced a
hook 'clang::TargetCodeGenInfo::testFPKind', which injects target
specific code into IR. Now only SystemZ implements this hook and it
generates a call to target specific intrinsic function.
Although these mechanisms allow to implement 'isnan' with enough
efficiency, expanding 'isnan' in clang has drawbacks:
* The operation 'isnan' is hidden behind generic integer operations or
target-specific intrinsics. It complicates analysis and can prevent
some optimizations.
* IR can be created by tools other than clang, in this case treatment
of 'isnan' has to be duplicated in that tool.
Another issue with the current implementation of 'isnan' comes from the
use of options '-ffast-math' or '-fno-honor-nans'. If such option is
specified, 'fcmp uno' may be optimized to 'false'. It is valid
optimization in general, but it results in 'isnan' always returning
'false'. For example, in some libc++ implementations the following code
returns 'false':
std::isnan(std::numeric_limits<float>::quiet_NaN())
The options '-ffast-math' and '-fno-honor-nans' imply that FP operation
operands are never NaNs. This assumption however should not be applied
to the functions that check FP number properties, including 'isnan'. If
such function returns expected result instead of actually making
checks, it becomes useless in many cases. The option '-ffast-math' is
often used for performance critical code, as it can speed up execution
by the expense of manual treatment of corner cases. If 'isnan' returns
assumed result, a user cannot use it in the manual treatment of NaNs
and has to invent replacements, like making the check using integer
operations. There is a discussion in https://reviews.llvm.org/D18513#387418,
which also expresses the opinion, that limitations imposed by
'-ffast-math' should be applied only to 'math' functions but not to
'tests'.
To overcome these drawbacks, this change introduces a new IR intrinsic
function 'llvm.isnan', which realizes the check as specified by IEEE-754
and C standards in target-agnostic way. During IR transformations it
does not undergo undesirable optimizations. It reaches instruction
selection, where is lowered in target-dependent way. The lowering can
vary depending on options like '-ffast-math' or '-ffp-model' so the
resulting code satisfies requested semantics.

Constfold constrained variants of operations fadd, fsub, fmul, fdiv,
frem, fma and fmuladd.
The change also sets up some means to support for removal of unused
constrained intrinsics. They are declared as accessing memory to model
interaction with floating point environment, so they were not removed,
as they have side effect. Now constrained intrinsics that have
"fpexcept.ignore" as exception behavior are removed if they have no uses.
As for intrinsics that have exception behavior other than "fpexcept.ignore",
they can be removed if it is known that they do not raise floating point
exceptions. It happens when doing constant folding, attributes of such
intrinsic are changed so that the intrinsic is not claimed as accessing
memory.

Don't do this while stipping pointer casts, instead fetch it at

case where the base object is not opaque.
Handle to gep p, 0-v case separately, and not as part of the loop

GlobalVariables are Constants, yet should not unconditionally be
considered true for __builtin_constant_p.
Via the LangRef
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-is-constant-intrinsic:
This intrinsic generates no code. If its argument is known to be a
manifest compile-time constant value, then the intrinsic will be
converted to a constant true value. Otherwise, it will be converted
to a constant false value.
In particular, note that if the argument is a constant expression
which refers to a global (the address of which _is_ a constant, but
not manifest during the compile), then the intrinsic evaluates to
false.
Move isManifestConstant from ConstantFolding to be a method of
Constant so that we can reuse the same logic in
LowerConstantIntrinsics.

Previously we would use the type of the pointee to determine what to
cast the result of constant folding a load. To aid with opaque pointer
types, we should explicitly pass the type of the load rather than
looking at pointee types.
ConstantFoldLoadThroughBitcast() converts the const prop'd value to the
proper load type (e.g. [1 x i32] -> i32). Instead of calling this in
every intermediate step like bitcasts, we only call this when we
actually see the global initializer value.
In some existing uses of this API, we don't know the exact type we're
loading from immediately (e.g. first we visit a bitcast, then we visit
the load using the bitcast). In those cases we have to manually call
ConstantFoldLoadThroughBitcast() when simplifying the load to make sure
that we cast to the proper type.

There seems to be an impedance mismatch between what the type
system considers an aggregate (structs and arrays) and what
constants consider an aggregate (structs, arrays and vectors).
Adjust the type check to consider vectors as well. The previous
version of the patch dropped the type check entirely, but it
turns out that getAggregateElement() does require the constant
to be an aggregate in some edge cases: For Poison/Undef the
getNumElements() API is called, without checking in advance that
we're dealing with an aggregate. Possibly the implementation should
avoid doing that, but for now I'm adding an assert so the next
person doesn't fall into this trap.

Rather than adjusting the type check, simply drop it entirely,

The x86_amx is used for AMX intrisics. <256 x i32> is bitcast to x86_amx when

The `dso_local_equivalent` constant is a wrapper for functions that represents a
value which is functionally equivalent to the global passed to this. That is, if
this accepts a function, calling this constant should have the same effects as
calling the function directly. This could be a direct reference to the function,
the `@plt` modifier on X86/AArch64, a thunk, or anything that's equivalent to the
resolved function as a call target.
When lowered, the returned address must have a constant offset at link time from
some other symbol defined within the same binary. The address of this value is
also insignificant. The name is leveraged from `dso_local` where use of a function
or variable is resolved to a symbol in the same linkage unit.
In this patch:
- Addition of `dso_local_equivalent` and handling it
- Update Constant::needsRelocation() to strip constant inbound GEPs and take
advantage of `dso_local_equivalent` for relative references
This is useful for the [Relative VTables C++ ABI](https://reviews.llvm.org/D72959)
which makes vtables readonly. This works by replacing the dynamic relocations for
function pointers in them with static relocations that represent the offset between
the vtable and virtual functions. If a function is externally defined,
`dso_local_equivalent` can be used as a generic wrapper for the function to still
allow for this static offset calculation to be done.
