Adrian Prantl cbdfdb74d3 Rename Instruction::dropUnknownMetadata() to dropUnknownNonDebugMetadata()
and make it always preserve debug locations, since all callers wanted this
behavior anyway.

This is addressing a post-commit review feedback for r245589.

Adrian Prantl baf90fc265 Fix a bug that caused SimplifyCFG to drop DebugLocs.
Instruction::dropUnknownMetadata(KnownSet) is supposed to preserve all
metadata in KnownSet, but the condition for DebugLocs was inverted.

Most users of dropUnknownMetadata() actually worked around this by not
adding LLVMContext::MD_dbg to their list of KnowIDs.
This is now made explicit.

Adrian Prantl a317cd2583 Fix a debug location handling bug in GVN.
Caught by the famous "DebugLoc describes the currect SubProgram" assertion.

When GVN is removing a nonlocal load it updates the debug location of the
SSA value it replaced the load with with the one of the load. In the
testcase this actually overwrites a valid debug location with an empty one.

In reality GVN has to make an arbitrary choice between two equally valid
debug locations. This patch changes to behavior to only update the
location if the value doesn't already have a debug location.

Chandler Carruth 96ada25bf3 [PM/AA] Remove all of the dead AliasAnalysis pointers being threaded

Chandler Carruth 9f2bf1aff5 [PM/AA] Remove the addEscapingUse update API that won't be easy to
directly model in the new PM.

This also was an incredibly brittle and expensive update API that was
never fully utilized by all the passes that claimed to preserve AA, nor
could it reasonably have been extended to all of them. Any number of
places add uses of values. If we ever wanted to reliably instrument
this, we would want a callback hook much like we have with ValueHandles,
but doing this for every use addition seems *extremely* expensive in
terms of compile time.

The only user of this update mechanism is GlobalsModRef. The idea of
using this to keep it up to date doesn't really work anyways as its
analysis requires a symmetric analysis of two different memory
locations. It would be very hard to make updates be sufficiently
rigorous to *guarantee* symmetric analysis in this way, and it pretty
certainly isn't true today.

However, folks have been using GMR with this update for a long time and
seem to not be hitting the issues. The reported issue that the update
hook fixes isn't even a problem any more as other changes to
GetUnderlyingObject worked around it, and that issue stemmed from *many*
years ago. As a consequence, a prior patch provided a flag to control
the unsafe behavior of GMR, and this patch removes the update mechanism
that has questionable compile-time tradeoffs and is causing problems
with moving to the new pass manager. Note the lack of test updates --
not one test in tree actually requires this update, even for a contrived
case.

All of this was extensively discussed on the dev list, this patch will
just enact what that discussion decides on. I'm sending it for review in
part to show what I'm planning, and in part to show the *amazing* amount
of work this avoids. Every call to the AA here is something like three
to six indirect function calls, which in the non-LTO pipeline never do
any work! =[

Tim Northover d5fdef016d GVN: tolerate an instruction being replaced without existing in the leaderboard
Sometimes an incidentally created instruction can duplicate a Value used
elsewhere. It then often doesn't end up in the leader table. If it's later
removed, we attempt to remove it from the leader table and segfault.

Instead we should just ignore the removal request, which won't cause any
problems. The reverse situation, where the original instruction is replaced by
the new one (which you might think could leave the leader table empty) cannot
occur, because the incidental instruction will never be found in the first
place.

Chandler Carruth 00ebdbcc47 [PM/AA] Completely remove the AliasAnalysis::copyValue interface.
No in-tree alias analysis used this facility, and it was not called in
any particularly rigorous way, so it seems unlikely to be correct.

Note that one of the only stateful AA implementations in-tree,
GlobalsModRef is completely broken currently (and any AA passes like it
are equally broken) because Module AA passes are not effectively
invalidated when a function pass that fails to update the AA stack runs.

Ultimately, it doesn't seem like we know how we want to build stateful
AA, and until then trying to support and maintain correctness for an
untested API is essentially impossible. To that end, I'm planning to rip
out all of the update API. It can return if and when we need it and know
how to build it on top of the new pass manager and as part of *tested*
stateful AA implementations in the tree.

Alexey Samsonov 9947e48cd1 [GVN] Use a simpler form of IRBuilder constructor.
Summary:
A side effect of this change is that it IRBuilder now automatically
created debug info locations for new instructions, which is the
same as debug location of insertion point. This is fine for the
functions in questions (GetStoreValueForLoad and
GetMemInstValueForLoad), as they are used in two situations:
  * GVN::processLoad, which tries to eliminate a load. In this case
    new instructions would have the same debug location as the load they
    eventually replace;
  * MaterializeAdjustedValue, which adds new instructions to the end
    of the basic blocks, which could later be used to replace the load
    definition. In this case we don't yet know the way the load would
    be eventually replaced (either by assembling the precomputed values
    via PHI, or by using them directly), so just using the basic block
    strategy seems to be reasonable. There is also a special case
    in the code that *would* adjust the location of the last
    instruction replacing the load definition to the location of the
    load.

Alexey Samsonov 89645dfa4d [GVN] Set proper debug locations for some instructions created by GVN.
Determining proper debug locations for instructions created in
PHITransAddr is tricky. We use a simple approach here and simply copy
debug locations from instructions computing load address to
"corresponding" instructions re-creating the address computation
in predecessor basic blocks.

This may not always be correct, given all the rearrangement and
simplification going on, and debug locations may jump around a lot,
as the basic blocks we copy locations between may be very far from
each other.

Still, this would work good in most simple cases (e.g. when chain
of address computing instruction is short, or our mapping turns out
to be 1-to-1), and we desire to have *some* reasonable debug locations
associated with newly inserted instructions.

Philip Reames 7c78ef7dd9 Extend EarlyCSE to handle basic cases from JumpThreading and CVP
This patch extends EarlyCSE to take advantage of the information that a controlling branch gives us about the value of a Value within this and dominated basic blocks. If the current block has a single predecessor with a controlling branch, we can infer what the branch condition must have been to execute this block. The actual change to support this is downright simple because EarlyCSE's existing scoped hash table logic deals with most of the complexity around merging.

The patch actually implements two optimizations.
1) The first is analogous to JumpThreading in that it enables EarlyCSE's CSE handling to fold branches which are exactly redundant due to a previous branch to branches on constants. (It doesn't actually replace the branch or change the CFG.) This is pretty clearly a win since it enables substantial CFG simplification before we start trying to inline.
2) The second is analogous to CVP in that it exploits the knowledge gained to replace dominated *uses* of the original value. EarlyCSE does not otherwise reason about specific uses, so this is the more arguable one. It does enable further simplication and constant folding within the rest of the visit by EarlyCSE.

In both cases, the added code only handles the easy dominance based case of each optimization. The general case is deferred to the existing passes.

Require the pointee type to be passed explicitly and assert that it is
correct. For now it's possible to pass nullptr here (and I've done so in
a few places in this patch) but eventually that will be disallowed once
all clients have been updated or removed. It'll be a long road to get
all the way there... but if you have the cahnce to update your callers
to pass the type explicitly without depending on a pointer's element
type, that would be a good thing to do soon and a necessary thing to do
eventually.

Mehdi Amini a28d91d81b DataLayout is mandatory, update the API to reflect it with references.
Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.

This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.

I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.

I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

Chandler Carruth 37df2cfbf8 [PM] Remove the Pass argument from all of the critical edge splitting
APIs and replace it and numerous booleans with an option struct.

The critical edge splitting API has a really large surface of flags and
so it seems worth burning a small option struct / builder. This struct
can be constructed with the various preserved analyses and then flags
can be flipped in a builder style.

The various users are now responsible for directly passing along their
analysis information. This should be enough for the critical edge
splitting to work cleanly with the new pass manager as well.

This API is still pretty crufty and could be cleaned up a lot, but I've
focused on this change just threading an option struct rather than
a pass through the API.

Lots of delta, but nothing interesting happening here. This is the
common pattern that is developing to allow analyses to live in both the
old and new pass manager -- a wrapper pass in the old pass manager
emulates the separation intrinsic to the new pass manager between the
result and pass for analyses.

Philip Reames 567feb98f0 [Refactor] Have getNonLocalPointerDependency take the query instruction
Previously, MemoryDependenceAnalysis::getNonLocalPointerDependency was taking a list of properties about the instruction being queried. Since I'm about to need one more property to be passed down through the infrastructure - I need to know a query instruction is non-volatile in an inner helper - fix the interface once and for all.

I also added some assertions and behaviour clarifications around volatile and ordered field accesses. At the moment, this is mostly to document expected behaviour. The only non-standard instructions which can currently reach this are atomic, but unordered, loads and stores. Neither ordered or volatile accesses can reach here.

The call in GVN is protected by an isSimple check when it first considers the load. The calls in MemDepPrinter are protected by isUnordered checks. Both utilities also check isVolatile for loads and stores.

Chandler Carruth 66b3130cda [PM] Split the AssumptionTracker immutable pass into two separate APIs:
a cache of assumptions for a single function, and an immutable pass that
manages those caches.

The motivation for this change is two fold. Immutable analyses are
really hacks around the current pass manager design and don't exist in
the new design. This is usually OK, but it requires that the core logic
of an immutable pass be reasonably partitioned off from the pass logic.
This change does precisely that. As a consequence it also paves the way
for the *many* utility functions that deal in the assumptions to live in
both pass manager worlds by creating an separate non-pass object with
its own independent API that they all rely on. Now, the only bits of the
system that deal with the actual pass mechanics are those that actually
need to deal with the pass mechanics.

Once this separation is made, several simplifications become pretty
obvious in the assumption cache itself. Rather than using a set and
callback value handles, it can just be a vector of weak value handles.
The callers can easily skip the handles that are null, and eventually we
can wrap all of this up behind a filter iterator.

For now, this adds boiler plate to the various passes, but this kind of
boiler plate will end up making it possible to port these passes to the
new pass manager, and so it will end up factored away pretty reasonably.

Hal Finkel 60db05896a Make use of @llvm.assume in ValueTracking (computeKnownBits, etc.)
This change, which allows @llvm.assume to be used from within computeKnownBits
(and other associated functions in ValueTracking), adds some (optional)
parameters to computeKnownBits and friends. These functions now (optionally)
take a "context" instruction pointer, an AssumptionTracker pointer, and also a
DomTree pointer, and most of the changes are just to pass this new information
when it is easily available from InstSimplify, InstCombine, etc.

As explained below, the significant conceptual change is that known properties
of a value might depend on the control-flow location of the use (because we
care that the @llvm.assume dominates the use because assumptions have
control-flow dependencies). This means that, when we ask if bits are known in a
value, we might get different answers for different uses.

The significant changes are all in ValueTracking. Two main changes: First, as
with the rest of the code, new parameters need to be passed around. To make
this easier, I grouped them into a structure, and I made internal static
versions of the relevant functions that take this structure as a parameter. The
new code does as you might expect, it looks for @llvm.assume calls that make
use of the value we're trying to learn something about (often indirectly),
attempts to pattern match that expression, and uses the result if successful.
By making use of the AssumptionTracker, the process of finding @llvm.assume
calls is not expensive.

Part of the structure being passed around inside ValueTracking is a set of
already-considered @llvm.assume calls. This is to prevent a query using, for
example, the assume(a == b), to recurse on itself. The context and DT params
are used to find applicable assumptions. An assumption needs to dominate the
context instruction, or come after it deterministically. In this latter case we
only handle the specific case where both the assumption and the context
instruction are in the same block, and we need to exclude assumptions from
being used to simplify their own ephemeral values (those which contribute only
to the assumption) because otherwise the assumption would prove its feeding
comparison trivial and would be removed.

This commit adds the plumbing and the logic for a simple masked-bit propagation
(just enough to write a regression test). Future commits add more patterns
(and, correspondingly, more regression tests).

Hal Finkel 9414665a3b Add scoped-noalias metadata
This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this
feature are:
  1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining
  2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers

Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary
infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality,
only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function
parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit.

What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access
sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA
nodes:

!scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" }
!scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 }
!scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 }
!scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 }
!scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 }

Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a
noalias tag for a specific scope:

... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }

When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with
the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the
noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory
accesses are assumed not to alias.

Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can
be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced
by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers.

[Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need
to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global
unnamed metadata.]

Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code.
This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site
(because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For
example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets
inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } --
now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site,
and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining
these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2.

Hal Finkel cc39b67530 AA metadata refactoring (introduce AAMDNodes)
In order to enable the preservation of noalias function parameter information
after inlining, and the representation of block-level __restrict__ pointer
information (etc.), additional kinds of aliasing metadata will be introduced.
This metadata needs to be carried around in AliasAnalysis::Location objects
(and MMOs at the SDAG level), and so we need to generalize the current scheme
(which is hard-coded to just one TBAA MDNode*).

This commit introduces only the necessary refactoring to allow for the
introduction of other aliasing metadata types, but does not actually introduce
any (that will come in a follow-up commit). What it does introduce is a new
AAMDNodes structure to hold all of the aliasing metadata nodes associated with
a particular memory-accessing instruction, and uses that structure instead of
the raw MDNode* in AliasAnalysis::Location, etc.

No functionality change intended.
