propagating of metadata.
We were propagating !nonnull metadata even when the newly formed load is
no longer of a pointer type. This is clearly broken and results in LLVM
failing the verifier and aborting. This patch just restricts the
propagation of !nonnull metadata to when we actually have a pointer
type.
This bug report and the initial version of this patch was provided by
Charles Davis! Many thanks for finding this!
We still need to add logic to round-trip the metadata correctly if we
combine from pointer types to integer types and then back by using range
metadata for the integer type loads. But this is the minimal and safe
version of the patch, which is important so we can backport it into 3.6.

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

loads.
This handles many more cases than just the AA metadata, some of them
suggested by Hal in his review of the AA metadata handling patch. I've
tried to test this behavior where tractable to do so.
I'll point out that I have specifically *not* included a test for
debuginfo because it was going to require 2 or 3 times as much work to
craft some input which would survive the "helpful" stripping of debug
info metadata that doesn't match the desired schema. This is another
good example of why the current state of write-ability for our debug
info metadata is unacceptable. I spent over 30 minutes trying to conjure
some test case that would survive, even copying from other debug info
tests, but it always failed to survive with no explanation of why or how
I might fix it. =[
