As a first step towards a new implementation of the base pointer inference algorithm, introduce an abstraction for BDVs, strengthen the assertions around them, and rewrite the BDV relation code in terms of the abstraction which includes an explicit notion of whether the BDV is also a base. The later is motivated by the fact we had a bug where insertelement was always assumed to be a base pointer even though the BDV code knew it wasn't. The strengthened assertions in this patch would have caught that bug.
The next step will be to separate the DefiningValueMap into a BDV use list cache (entirely within findBasePointers) and a base pointer cache. Having the former will allow me to use a deterministic visit order when visiting BDVs in the inference algorithm and remove a bunch of ordering related hacks. Before actually doing the last step, I'm likely going to extend the lattice with a 'BaseN' (seen only base inputs) state so that I can kill the post process optimization step.

The visit order being used in the base pointer inference algorithm is currently non-deterministic. When working on http://reviews.llvm.org/D12583, I discovered that we were relying on a peephole optimization to get deterministic ordering in one of the test cases.
This change is intented to let me test and land http://reviews.llvm.org/D12583. The current code will not be long lived. I'm starting to investigate a rewrite of the algorithm which will combine the post-process step into the initial algorithm and make the visit order determistic. Before doing that, I wanted to make sure the existing code was complete and the test were stable. Hopefully, patches should be up for review for the new algorithm this week or early next.

Fix a bug in change 246133. I didn't handle the case where we had a cycle in the use graph and could add an instruction we were about to erase back on to the worklist. Oddly, I have not been able to write a small test case for this, even with the AssertingVH added. I have confirmed the basic theory for the fix on a large failing example, but all attempts to reduce that to something appropriate for a test case have failed.

When computing base pointers, we introduce new instructions to propagate the base of existing instructions which might not be bases. However, the algorithm doesn't make any effort to recognize when the new instruction to be inserted is the same as an existing one already in the IR. Since this is happening immediately before rewriting, we don't really have a chance to fix it after the pass runs without teaching loop passes about statepoints.
I'm really not thrilled with this patch. I've rewritten it 4 different ways now, but this is the best I've come up with. The case where the new instruction is just the original base defining value could be merged into the existing algorithm with some complexity. The problem is that we might have something like an extractelement from a phi of two vectors. It may be trivially obvious that the base of the 0th element is an existing instruction, but I can't see how to make the algorithm itself figure that out. Thus, I resort to the call to SimplifyInstruction instead.
Note that we can only adjust the instructions we've inserted ourselves. The live sets are still being tracked in side structures at this point in the code. We can't easily muck with instructions which might be in them. Long term, I'm really thinking we need to materialize the live pointer sets explicitly in the IR somehow rather than using side structures to track them.

To be clear: this is an *optimization* not a correctness change.
CodeGenPrep likes to duplicate icmps feeding branch instructions to take advantage of x86's ability to fuze many comparison/branch patterns into a single micro-op and to reduce the need for materializing i1s into general registers. PlaceSafepoints likes to place safepoint polls right at the end of basic blocks (immediately before terminators) when inserting entry and backedge safepoints. These two heuristics interact in a somewhat unfortunate way where the branch terminating the original block will be controlled by a condition driven by unrelocated pointers. This forces the register allocator to keep both the relocated and unrelocated values of the pointers feeding the icmp alive over the safepoint poll.
One simple fix would have been to just adjust PlaceSafepoints to move one back in the basic block, but you can reach similar cases as a result of LICM or other hoisting passes. As a result, doing a post insertion fixup seems to be more robust.
I considered doing this in CodeGenPrep itself, but having to update the live sets of already rewritten safepoints gets complicated fast. In particular, you can't just use def/use information because by moving the icmp, we're extending the live range of it's inputs potentially.
Instead, this patch teaches RewriteStatepointsForGC to make the required adjustments before making the relocations explicit in the IR. This change really highlights the fact that RSForGC is a CodeGenPrep-like pass which is performing target specific lowering. In the long run, we may even want to combine the two though this would require a lot more smarts to be integrated into RSForGC first. We currently rely on being able to run a set of cleanup passes post rewriting because the IR RSForGC generates is pretty damn ugly.

When rewriting the IR such that base pointers are available for every live pointer, we potentially need to duplicate instructions to propagate the base. The original code had only handled PHI and Select under the belief those were the only instructions which would need duplicated. When I added support for vector instructions, I'd added a collection of hacks for ExtractElement which caught most of the common cases. Of course, I then found the one test case my hacks couldn't cover. :)
This change removes all of the early hacks for extract element. By defining extractelement as a BDV (rather than trying to look through it), we can extend the rewriting algorithm to duplicate the extract as needed. Note that a couple of peephole optimizations were left in for the moment, because while we now handle extractelement as a first class citizen, we're not yet handling insertelement. That change will follow in the near future.
llvm-svn: 244808
The names for instructions inserted were previous dependent on iteration order. By deriving the names from the original instructions, we can avoid instability in tests without resorting to ordered traversals. It also makes the IR mildly easier to read at large scale.
llvm-svn: 243140
The new code should hopefully be equivalent to the old code; it just uses a worklist to track instructions which need to visited rather than iterating over all instructions visited each time. This should be faster, but the primary benefit is that the purpose should be more clear and the diff of adding another instruction type (forthcoming) much more obvious.

We can use builders to simplify part of the code and we only check for the existance of the metadata value; this enables us to delete some redundant code.

This change extends the detection of base pointers for vector constructs to handle arbitrary phi and select nodes. The existing non-vector code already handles those, so this is basically just extending the vector special case to be less special cased. It still isn't generalized vector handling since we can't handle arbitrary vector instructions (e.g. shufflevectors), but it's a lot closer.
The general structure of the change is as follows:
* Extend the base defining value relation over a subset of vector instructions and vector typed phi & select instructions.
* Move scalarization from before base pointer rewriting to after base pointer rewriting. The extension of the BDV relation is sufficient to find vector base phis for vector inputs.
* Preserve the existing special case logic for when the base of a vector element is locally obvious. This general idea could be extended to the scalar case as well.

Summary:
Once a gc.statepoint has been rewritten to relocate live references, the
SSA values represent physical pointers instead of logical references.
Logical dereferencability does not imply physical dereferencability and
after RewriteStatepointsForGC has run any attributes that imply
dereferencability of the logical references need to be stripped.
This current approach is conservative, and can be made more precise
later if needed. For starters, we need to strip dereferencable
attributes only from pointers that live in the GC address space.

This change adds a new GC strategy for supporting the CoreCLR runtime.
This strategy is currently identical to Statepoint-example GC,
but is necessary for several upcoming changes specific to CoreCLR, such as:
1. Base-pointers not explicitly reported for interior pointers
2. Different format for stack-map encoding
3. Location of Safe-point polls: polls are only needed before loop-back edges and before tail-calls (not needed at function-entry)
4. Runtime specific handshake between calls to managed/unmanaged functions.

When relocating a pointer, we need to determine a base pointer for the derived pointer being relocated. We have limited support for handling a pointer extracted from a vector; the current code only handled the case where the entire vector was known to contain base pointers. This patch extends the reasoning to handle chains of insertelements where the indices are constants. This case turns out to be fairly common in vectorized code. We can now handle vectors which contains mixtures of base and derived pointers provided the insertelements use constant indices.
Note that this doesn't solve the general problem. To handle variable indexed insertelements, we'd need to scalarize and introduce conditional branching based on the index. Alternatively, we could eagerly scalarize, but the code structure doesn't currently make either fix easy. The patch also doesn't handle shufflevector or other vector manipulation for much the same reasons. I plan to defer this work until I have a motivating test case.

Summary:
In RewriteStatepointsForGC pass, we create a gc_relocate intrinsic for
each relocated pointer, and the gc_relocate has the same type with the
pointer. During the creation of gc_relocate intrinsic, llvm requires to
mangle its type. However, llvm does not support mangling of all possible
types. RewriteStatepointsForGC will hit an assertion failure when it
tries to create a gc_relocate for pointer to vector of pointers because
mangling for vector of pointers is not supported.
This patch changes the way RewriteStatepointsForGC pass creates
gc_relocate. For each relocated pointer, we erase the type of pointers
and create an unified gc_relocate of type i8 addrspace(1)*. Then a
bitcast is inserted to convert the gc_relocate to the correct type. In
this way, gc_relocate does not need to deal with different types of
pointers and the unsupported type mangling is no longer a problem. This
change would also ease further merge when LLVM erases types of pointers
and introduces an unified pointer type.
Some minor changes are also introduced to gc_relocate related part in
InstCombineCalls, CodeGenPrepare, and Verifier accordingly.

There can be various constant pointers in the IR which do not get relocated at a safepoint. One example is the address of a global variable. Another example is a pointer created via inttoptr. Note that the optimizer itself likes to create such inttoptrs when locally propagating constants through dynamically dead code.
To deal with this, we need to exclude uses of constants from contributing to the liveness of a safepoint which might reach that use. At some later date, it might be worth exploring what could be done to support the relocation of various special types of "constants", but that's future work.

Since we're restructuring the CFG, we also need to make sure to update the analsis passes. While I'm touching the code, I dedicided to restructure it a bit. The code involved here was very confusing. This change moves the normalization to essentially being a pre-pass before the main insertion work and updates a few comments to actually say what is happening and *why*.
The restructuring should be covered by existing tests. I couldn't easily see how to create a test for the invalidation bug. Suggestions welcome.

This is related to the issues addressed in 234651. These assertions check the properties ensured by that change at the place of use. Note that a similiar property is checked in checkBasicSSA, but without the reachability constraint. Technically, the liveness would be correct to include unreachable values, but this would be problematic for actual relocation.
