Summary:
The value tracking analysis uses function alignment to infer that the
least significant bits of function pointers are known to be zero.
Unfortunately, this is not correct for ARM targets: the least
significant bit of a function pointer stores the ARM/Thumb state
information (i.e., the LSB is set for Thumb functions and cleared for
ARM functions).
The original approach (https://reviews.llvm.org/D44781) introduced a
new field for function pointer alignment in the DataLayout structure
to address this. But it seems unlikely that optimizations based on
function pointer alignment would bring much benefit in practice to
justify the additional maintenance burden, so this patch simply
assumes that function pointer alignment is always unknown.

...where we blow up the stack in value tracking because other passes are sending
in selects that have an operand that is itself the select.
We don't currently have a reliable way to avoid analyzing dead code that may take
non-standard forms, so bail out when things go too far.
This mimics the recursion depth limitations in other parts of value tracking.
Unfortunately, this pushes the underlying problems for other passes (jump-threading,
simplifycfg, correlated-propagation) into hiding. If someone wants to uncover those
again, the first draft of this patch on Phab would do that (it would assert rather
than bail out).

ValueTracking has to strike a balance when attempting to propagate information
backwards from assumes, because if the information is trivially propagated
backwards, it can appear to LLVM that the assumption is known to be true, and
therefore can be removed.
This is sound (because an assumption has no semantic effect except for causing
UB), but prevents the assume from allowing further optimizations.
The isEphemeralValueOf check exists to try and prevent this issue by not
removing the source of an assumption. This tries to make it a little bit more
general to handle the case of side-effectful instructions, such as in
%0 = call i1 @get_val()
%1 = xor i1 %0, true
call void @llvm.assume(i1 %1)

Moreover, the patch *deleted* the flag in addition to changing the
default, and links to a code review that doesn't even discuss the flag
and just has an update to a Clang test case.
I've followed up on the commit thread to ask for numbers on compile time
at this point, leaving the flag in place until things stabilize, and
pointing at specific code that seems to exhibit excessive compile time
with this patch.

Currently LLVM assumes that a pointer addrspacecasted to a different addr space is equivalent to trunc or zext bitwise, which is not true. For example, in amdgcn target, when a null pointer is addrspacecasted from addr space 4 to 0, its value is changed from i64 0 to i32 -1.
This patch teaches LLVM not to assume known bits of addrspacecast instruction to its operand.

Summary:
While walking defs of pointer operands we were assuming that the pointer
size would remain constant. This is not true, because addresspacecast
instructions may cast the pointer to an address space with a different
pointer width.
This partial reverts r282612, which was a more conservative solution
to this problem.

llvm-svn: 275038
Summary:
Change some of the internal interfaces in Loads.cpp to keep track of the
number of bytes we're trying to prove dereferenceable using an explicit
`Size` parameter.
Before this, the `Size` parameter was implicitly inferred from the
pointee type of the pointer whose dereferenceability we were trying to
prove, causing us to be conservative around bitcasts. This was
unfortunate since bitcast instructions are no-ops and should never
break optimizations. With an explicit `Size` parameter, we're more
precise (as shown in the test cases), and the code is simpler.
We should eventually move towards a `DerefQuery` struct that groups
together a base pointer, an offset, a size and an alignment; but this
patch is a first step.

As part of r251146 InstCombine was extended to call computeKnownBits on
every value in the function to determine whether it happens to be
constant. This increases typical compiletime by 1-3% (5% in irgen+opt
time) in my measurements. On the other hand this case did not trigger
once in the whole llvm-testsuite.
This patch introduces the notion of ExpensiveCombines which are only
enabled for OptLevel > 2. I removed the check in InstructionSimplify as
that is called from various places where the OptLevel is not known but
given the rarity of the situation I think a check in InstCombine is
enough.

This experiment was originally about trying to use facts implied dominating conditions to infer more precise known bits. While the compile time was found to be acceptable on several large code bases, we never found sufficiently profitable examples to justify turning on the code by default. Given this, it's time to abandon the experiment.
Several folks have commented that they've found this useful for experimentation, but nothing has come of those experiments. Given how easy the patch is to apply, there's no reason to leave the code in tree.
For anyone interested in further investigation in this area, I recommend finding the summary email I sent on one of the original review threads. In particular, I now believe the use-list based approach is strictly worse than the dom-tree-walking approach.

Some patterns of select+compare allow us to know exactly the value of the uppermost bits in the select result. For example:
%b = icmp ugt i32 %a, 5
%c = select i1 %b, i32 2, i32 %a
Here we know that %c is bounded by 5, and therefore KnownZero = ~APInt(5).getActiveBits() = ~7.
There are several such patterns, and this patch attempts to understand a reasonable subset of them - namely when the base values are the same (as above), and when they are related by a simple (add nsw), for example (add nsw %a, 4) and %a.
llvm-svn: 257769
Summary: This patch changes gc.statepoint intrinsic's return type to token type instead of i32 type. Using token types could prevent LLVM to merge different gc.statepoint nodes into PHI nodes and cause further problems with gc relocations. The patch also changes the way on how gc.relocate and gc.result look for their corresponding gc.statepoint on unwind path. The current implementation uses the selector value extracted from a { i8*, i32 } landingpad as a hook to find the gc.statepoint, while the patch directly uses a token type landingpad (http://reviews.llvm.org/D15405) to find the gc.statepoint.

Even though we may not know the value of the shifter operand, it's possible we know the shifter operand is non-zero. This can allow us to infer more known bits - for example:
%1 = load %p !range {1, 5}
%2 = shl %q, %1
We don't know %1, but we do know that it is nonzero so %2[0] is known zero, and importantly %2 is known non-zero.
Calling isKnownNonZero is nontrivially expensive so use an Optional to run it lazily and cache its result.
llvm-svn: 251294
isKnownNonEqual(A, B) returns true if it can be determined that A != B.
At the moment it only knows two facts, that a non-wrapping add of nonzero to a value cannot be that value:
A + B != A [where B != 0, addition is nsw or nuw]
and that contradictory known bits imply two values are not equal.
This patch also hooks this up to InstSimplify; InstSimplify had a peephole for the first fact but not the second so this teaches InstSimplify a new trick too (alas no measured performance impact!)

If a PHI starts at a non-negative constant, monotonically increases
(only adds of a constant are supported at the moment) and that add
does not wrap, then the PHI is known never to be zero.

If the shifter operand is a constant, and all of the bits shifted out
