BasicAA contains knowledge of certain intrinsics, such as memcpy and memset,
and uses that information to form more-accurate answers to CallSite vs. Loc
ModRef queries. Unfortunately, it did not use this information when answering
CallSite vs. CallSite queries.
Generically, when an intrinsic takes one or more pointers and the intrinsic is
marked only to read/write from its arguments, the offset/size is unknown. As a
result, the generic code that answers CallSite vs. CallSite (and CallSite vs.
Loc) queries in AA uses UnknownSize when forming Locs from an intrinsic's
arguments. While BasicAA's CallSite vs. Loc override could use more-accurate
size information for some intrinsics, it did not do the same for CallSite vs.
CallSite queries.
This change refactors the intrinsic-specific logic in BasicAA into a generic AA
query function: getArgLocation, which is overridden by BasicAA to supply the
intrinsic-specific knowledge, and used by AA's generic implementation. This
allows the intrinsic-specific knowledge to be used by both CallSite vs. Loc and
CallSite vs. CallSite queries, and simplifies the BasicAA implementation.
Currently, only one function, Mac's memset_pattern16, is handled by BasicAA
(all the rest are intrinsics). As a side-effect of this refactoring, BasicAA's
getModRefBehavior override now also returns OnlyAccessesArgumentPointees for
this function (which is an improvement).

that it could plausibly share code with some day.

AKA: Recompile *ALL* the source code!
This one went much better. No manual edits here. I spot-checked for
silliness and grep-checked for really broken edits and everything seemed
good. It all still compiles. Yell if you see something that looks goofy.

pointers-to-strong-pointers may be in play. These can lead to retains and
releases happening in unstructured ways, foiling the optimizer. This fixes

This disables malloc-specific optimization when -fno-builtin (or -ffreestanding)
is specified. This has been a problem for a long time but became more severe
with the recent memory builtin improvements.
Since the memory builtin functions are used everywhere, this required passing
TLI in many places. This means that functions that now have an optional TLI
argument, like RecursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadFunctions, won't remove dead
mallocs anymore if the TLI argument is missing. I've updated most passes to do
the right thing.
Fixes PR13694 and probably others.

working on x86 (at least for trivial testcases); other architectures will
need more work so that they actually emit the appropriate instructions for
orderings stricter than 'monotonic'. (As far as I can tell, the ARM, PPC,

MayAlias results in cases where BasicAA is expected to

a pointer value has potentially become escaping. Implementations can choose to either fall back to
conservative responses for that value, or may recompute their analysis to accomodate the change.

AliasAnalysis consumers, PartialAlias will be treated as MayAlias.
For AliasAnalysis chaining, MayAlias says "procede to the next analysis".
PartialAlias will be used to indicate that the query should terminate,
even though it didn't reach MustAlias or NoAlias.

memcpy's like:
memcpy(A, B)
memcpy(A, C)
we cannot delete the first memcpy as dead if A and C might be aliases.
If so, we actually get:
memcpy(A, B)
memcpy(A, A)
which is not correct to transform into:
memcpy(A, A)
