Introduce a new SROA implementation. This is essentially a ground up re-think of the SROA pass in LLVM. It was initially inspired by a few problems with the existing pass: - It is subject to the bane of my existence in optimizations: arbitrary thresholds. - It is overly conservative about which constructs can be split and promoted. - The vector value replacement aspect is separated from the splitting logic, missing many opportunities where splitting and vector value formation can work together. - The splitting is entirely based around the underlying type of the alloca, despite this type often having little to do with the reality of how that memory is used. This is especially prevelant with unions and base classes where we tail-pack derived members. - When splitting fails (often due to the thresholds), the vector value replacement (again because it is separate) can kick in for preposterous cases where we simply should have split the value. This results in forming i1024 and i2048 integer "bit vectors" that tremendously slow down subsequnet IR optimizations (due to large APInts) and impede the backend's lowering. The new design takes an approach that fundamentally is not susceptible to many of these problems. It is the result of a discusison between myself and Duncan Sands over IRC about how to premptively avoid these types of problems and how to do SROA in a more principled way. Since then, it has evolved and grown, but this remains an important aspect: it fixes real world problems with the SROA process today. First, the transform of SROA actually has little to do with replacement. It has more to do with splitting. The goal is to take an aggregate alloca and form a composition of scalar allocas which can replace it and will be most suitable to the eventual replacement by scalar SSA values. The actual replacement is performed by mem2reg (and in the future SSAUpdater). The splitting is divided into four phases. The first phase is an analysis of the uses of the alloca. This phase recursively walks uses, building up a dense datastructure representing the ranges of the alloca's memory actually used and checking for uses which inhibit any aspects of the transform such as the escape of a pointer. Once we have a mapping of the ranges of the alloca used by individual operations, we compute a partitioning of the used ranges. Some uses are inherently splittable (such as memcpy and memset), while scalar uses are not splittable. The goal is to build a partitioning that has the minimum number of splits while placing each unsplittable use in its own partition. Overlapping unsplittable uses belong to the same partition. This is the target split of the aggregate alloca, and it maximizes the number of scalar accesses which become accesses to their own alloca and candidates for promotion. Third, we re-walk the uses of the alloca and assign each specific memory access to all the partitions touched so that we have dense use-lists for each partition. Finally, we build a new, smaller alloca for each partition and rewrite each use of that partition to use the new alloca. During this phase the pass will also work very hard to transform uses of an alloca into a form suitable for promotion, including forming vector operations, speculating loads throguh PHI nodes and selects, etc. After splitting is complete, each newly refined alloca that is a candidate for promotion to a scalar SSA value is run through mem2reg. There are lots of reasonably detailed comments in the source code about the design and algorithms, and I'm going to be trying to improve them in subsequent commits to ensure this is well documented, as the new pass is in many ways more complex than the old one. Some of this is still a WIP, but the current state is reasonbly stable. It has passed bootstrap, the nightly test suite, and Duncan has run it successfully through the ACATS and DragonEgg test suites. That said, it remains behind a default-off flag until the last few pieces are in place, and full testing can be done. Specific areas I'm looking at next: - Improved comments and some code cleanup from reviews. - SSAUpdater and enabling this pass inside the CGSCC pass manager. - Some datastructure tuning and compile-time measurements. - More aggressive FCA splitting and vector formation. Many thanks to Duncan Sands for the thorough final review, as well as Benjamin Kramer for lots of review during the process of writing this pass, and Daniel Berlin for reviewing the data structures and algorithms and general theory of the pass. Also, several other people on IRC, over lunch tables, etc for lots of feedback and advice. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@163883 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Teach the integer-promotion rewrite strategy to be endianness aware. Sorry for this being broken so long. =/ As part of this, switch all of the existing tests to be Little Endian, which is the behavior I was asserting in them anyways! Add in a new big-endian test that checks the interesting behavior there. Another part of this is to tighten the rules abotu when we perform the full-integer promotion. This logic now rejects cases where there fully promoted integer is a non-multiple-of-8 bitwidth or cases where the loads or stores touch bits which are in the allocated space of the alloca but are not loaded or stored when accessing the integer. Sadly, these aren't really observable today as the rest of the pass will already ensure the invariants hold. However, the latter situation is likely to become a potential concern in the future. Thanks to Benjamin and Duncan for early review of this patch. I'm still looking into whether there are further endianness issues, please let me know if anyone sees BE failures persisting past this. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@165219 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Refactor the PartitionUse structure to actually use the Use* instead of a pair of instructions, one for the used pointer and the second for the user. This simplifies the representation and also makes it more dense. This was noticed because of the miscompile in PR13926. In that case, we were running up against a fundamental "bad idea" in the speculation of PHI and select instructions: the speculation and rewriting are interleaved, which requires phi speculation to also perform load rewriting! This is bad, and causes us to miss opportunities to do (for example) vector rewriting only exposed after PHI speculation, etc etc. It also, in the old system, required us to insert *new* load uses into the current partition's use list, which would then be ignored during rewriting because we had already extracted an end iterator for the use list. The appending behavior (and much of the other oddities) stem from the strange de-duplication strategy in the PartitionUse builder. Amusingly, all this went without notice for so long because it could only be triggered by having *different* GEPs into the same partition of the same alloca, where both different GEPs were operands of a single PHI, and where the GEP which was not encountered first also had multiple uses within that same PHI node... Hence the insane steps required to reproduce. So, step one in fixing this fundamental bad idea is to make the PartitionUse actually contain a Use*, and to make the builder do proper deduplication instead of funky de-duplication. This is enough to remove the appending behavior, and fix the miscompile in PR13926, but there is more work to be done here. Subsequent commits will lift the speculation into its own visitor. It'll be a useful step toward potentially extracting all of the speculation logic into a generic utility transform. The existing PHI test case for repeated operands has been made more extreme to catch even these issues. This test case, run through the old pass, will exactly reproduce the miscompile from PR13926. ;] We were so close here! git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@164925 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

There are lots of reasonably detailed comments in the source code about the design and algorithms, and I'm going to be trying to improve them in subsequent commits to ensure this is well documented, as the new pass is in many ways more complex than the old one. Some of this is still a WIP, but the current state is reasonbly stable. It has passed bootstrap, the nightly test suite, and Duncan has run it successfully through the ACATS and DragonEgg test suites. That said, it remains behind a default-off flag until the last few pieces are in place, and full testing can be done. Specific areas I'm looking at next: - Improved comments and some code cleanup from reviews. - SSAUpdater and enabling this pass inside the CGSCC pass manager. - Some datastructure tuning and compile-time measurements. - More aggressive FCA splitting and vector formation. Many thanks to Duncan Sands for the thorough final review, as well as Benjamin Kramer for lots of review during the process of writing this pass, and Daniel Berlin for reviewing the data structures and algorithms and general theory of the pass.

Refactor the PartitionUse structure to actually use the Use* instead of a pair of instructions, one for the used pointer and the second for the user. This simplifies the representation and also makes it more dense. This was noticed because of the miscompile in PR13926. In that case, we were running up against a fundamental "bad idea" in the speculation of PHI and select instructions: the speculation and rewriting are interleaved, which requires phi speculation to also perform load rewriting! This is bad, and causes us to miss opportunities to do (for example) vector rewriting only exposed after PHI speculation, etc etc. It also, in the old system, required us to insert *new* load uses into the current partition's use list, which would then be ignored during rewriting because we had already extracted an end iterator for the use list. The appending behavior (and much of the other oddities) stem from the strange de-duplication strategy in the PartitionUse builder. Amusingly, all this went without notice for so long because it could only be triggered by having *different* GEPs into the same partition of the same alloca, where both different GEPs were operands of a single PHI, and where the GEP which was not encountered first also had multiple uses within that same PHI node... Hence the insane steps required to reproduce. So, step one in fixing this fundamental bad idea is to make the PartitionUse actually contain a Use*, and to make the builder do proper deduplication instead of funky de-duplication. This is enough to remove the appending behavior, and fix the miscompile in PR13926, but there is more work to be done here. Subsequent commits will lift the speculation into its own visitor. It'll be a useful step toward potentially extracting all of the speculation logic into a generic utility transform. The existing PHI test case for repeated operands has been made more extreme to catch even these issues. This test case, run through the old pass, will exactly reproduce the miscompile from PR13926. ;] We were so close here! git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@164925 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Introduce a new SROA implementation. This is essentially a ground up re-think of the SROA pass in LLVM. It was initially inspired by a few problems with the existing pass: - It is subject to the bane of my existence in optimizations: arbitrary thresholds. - It is overly conservative about which constructs can be split and promoted. - The vector value replacement aspect is separated from the splitting logic, missing many opportunities where splitting and vector value formation can work together. - The splitting is entirely based around the underlying type of the alloca, despite this type often having little to do with the reality of how that memory is used. This is especially prevelant with unions and base classes where we tail-pack derived members. - When splitting fails (often due to the thresholds), the vector value replacement (again because it is separate) can kick in for preposterous cases where we simply should have split the value. This results in forming i1024 and i2048 integer "bit vectors" that tremendously slow down subsequnet IR optimizations (due to large APInts) and impede the backend's lowering. The new design takes an approach that fundamentally is not susceptible to many of these problems. It is the result of a discusison between myself and Duncan Sands over IRC about how to premptively avoid these types of problems and how to do SROA in a more principled way. Since then, it has evolved and grown, but this remains an important aspect: it fixes real world problems with the SROA process today. First, the transform of SROA actually has little to do with replacement. It has more to do with splitting. The goal is to take an aggregate alloca and form a composition of scalar allocas which can replace it and will be most suitable to the eventual replacement by scalar SSA values. The actual replacement is performed by mem2reg (and in the future SSAUpdater). The splitting is divided into four phases. The first phase is an analysis of the uses of the alloca. This phase recursively walks uses, building up a dense datastructure representing the ranges of the alloca's memory actually used and checking for uses which inhibit any aspects of the transform such as the escape of a pointer. Once we have a mapping of the ranges of the alloca used by individual operations, we compute a partitioning of the used ranges. Some uses are inherently splittable (such as memcpy and memset), while scalar uses are not splittable. The goal is to build a partitioning that has the minimum number of splits while placing each unsplittable use in its own partition. Overlapping unsplittable uses belong to the same partition. This is the target split of the aggregate alloca, and it maximizes the number of scalar accesses which become accesses to their own alloca and candidates for promotion. Third, we re-walk the uses of the alloca and assign each specific memory access to all the partitions touched so that we have dense use-lists for each partition. Finally, we build a new, smaller alloca for each partition and rewrite each use of that partition to use the new alloca. During this phase the pass will also work very hard to transform uses of an alloca into a form suitable for promotion, including forming vector operations, speculating loads throguh PHI nodes and selects, etc. After splitting is complete, each newly refined alloca that is a candidate for promotion to a scalar SSA value is run through mem2reg.

The goal is to take an aggregate alloca and form a composition of scalar allocas which can replace it and will be most suitable to the eventual replacement by scalar SSA values. The actual replacement is performed by mem2reg (and in the future SSAUpdater). The splitting is divided into four phases. The first phase is an analysis of the uses of the alloca. This phase recursively walks uses, building up a dense datastructure representing the ranges of the alloca's memory actually used and checking for uses which inhibit any aspects of the transform such as the escape of a pointer. Once we have a mapping of the ranges of the alloca used by individual operations, we compute a partitioning of the used ranges. Some uses are inherently splittable (such as memcpy and memset), while scalar uses are not splittable. The goal is to build a partitioning that has the minimum number of splits while placing each unsplittable use in its own partition. Overlapping unsplittable uses belong to the same partition. This is the target split of the aggregate alloca, and it maximizes the number of scalar accesses which become accesses to their own alloca and candidates for promotion. Third, we re-walk the uses of the alloca and assign each specific memory access to all the partitions touched so that we have dense use-lists for each partition. Finally, we build a new, smaller alloca for each partition and rewrite each use of that partition to use the new alloca. During this phase the pass will also work very hard to transform uses of an alloca into a form suitable for promotion, including forming vector operations, speculating loads throguh PHI nodes and selects, etc. After splitting is complete, each newly refined alloca that is a candidate for promotion to a scalar SSA value is run through mem2reg. There are lots of reasonably detailed comments in the source code about the design and algorithms, and I'm going to be trying to improve them in subsequent commits to ensure this is well documented, as the new pass is in many ways more complex than the old one. Some of this is still a WIP, but the current state is reasonbly stable. It has passed bootstrap, the nightly test suite, and Duncan has run it successfully through the ACATS and DragonEgg test suites. That said, it remains behind a default-off flag until the last few pieces are in place, and full testing can be done.

Fix a case where the new SROA pass failed to zap dead operands to selects with a constant condition. This resulted in the operands remaining live through the SROA rewriter. Most of the time, this just caused some dead allocas to persist and get zapped by later passes, but in one case found by Joerg, it caused a crash when we tried to *promote* the alloca despite it having this dead use.

Introduce a new SROA implementation. This is essentially a ground up re-think of the SROA pass in LLVM. It was initially inspired by a few problems with the existing pass: - It is subject to the bane of my existence in optimizations: arbitrary thresholds. - It is overly conservative about which constructs can be split and promoted. - The vector value replacement aspect is separated from the splitting logic, missing many opportunities where splitting and vector value formation can work together. - The splitting is entirely based around the underlying type of the alloca, despite this type often having little to do with the reality of how that memory is used. This is especially prevelant with unions and base classes where we tail-pack derived members. - When splitting fails (often due to the thresholds), the vector value replacement (again because it is separate) can kick in for preposterous cases where we simply should have split the value. This results in forming i1024 and i2048 integer "bit vectors" that tremendously slow down subsequnet IR optimizations (due to large APInts) and impede the backend's lowering. The new design takes an approach that fundamentally is not susceptible to many of these problems.

First major step toward addressing PR14059. This teaches SROA to handle cases where we have partial integer loads and stores to an otherwise promotable alloca to widen[1] those loads and stores to cover the entire alloca and bitcast them into the appropriate type such that promotion can proceed. These partial loads and stores stem from an annoying confluence of ARM's calling convention and ABI lowering and the FCA pre-splitting which takes place in SROA. Clang lowers a { double, double } in-register function argument as a [4 x i32] function argument to ensure it is placed into integer 32-bit registers (a really unnerving implicit contract between Clang and the ARM backend I would add). This results in a FCA load of [4 x i32]* from the { double, double } alloca, and SROA decomposes this into a sequence of i32 loads and stores. Inlining proceeds, code gets folded, but at the end of the day, we still have i32 stores to the low and high halves of a double alloca. Widening these to be i64 operations, and bitcasting them to double prior to loading or storing allows promotion to proceed for these allocas. I looked quite a bit changing the IR which Clang produces for this case to be more friendly, but small changes seem unlikely to help. I think the best representation we could use currently would be to pass 4 i32 arguments thereby avoiding any FCAs, but that would still require this fix. It seems like it might eventually be nice to somehow encode the ABI register selection choices outside of the parameter type system so that the parameter can be a { double, double }, but the CC register annotations indicate that this should be passed via 4 integer registers. This patch does not address the second problem in PR14059, which is the reverse: when a struct alloca is loaded as a *larger* single integer. This patch also does not address some of the code quality issues with the FCA-splitting. Those don't actually impede any optimizations really, but they're on my list to clean up. [1]: Pedantic footnote: for those concerned about memory model issues here, this is safe. For the alloca to be promotable, it cannot escape or have any use of its address that could allow these loads or stores to be racing. Thus, widening is always safe. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@165928 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Introduce a new SROA implementation. This is essentially a ground up re-think of the SROA pass in LLVM. It was initially inspired by a few problems with the existing pass: - It is subject to the bane of my existence in optimizations: arbitrary thresholds. - It is overly conservative about which constructs can be split and promoted. - The vector value replacement aspect is separated from the splitting logic, missing many opportunities where splitting and vector value formation can work together. - The splitting is entirely based around the underlying type of the alloca, despite this type often having little to do with the reality of how that memory is used. This is especially prevelant with unions and base classes where we tail-pack derived members. - When splitting fails (often due to the thresholds), the vector value replacement (again because it is separate) can kick in for preposterous cases where we simply should have split the value. This results in forming i1024 and i2048 integer "bit vectors" that tremendously slow down subsequnet IR optimizations (due to large APInts) and impede the backend's lowering. The new design takes an approach that fundamentally is not susceptible to many of these problems. It is the result of a discusison between myself and Duncan Sands over IRC about how to premptively avoid these types of problems and how to do SROA in a more principled way. Since then, it has evolved and grown, but this remains an important aspect: it fixes real world problems with the SROA process today. First, the transform of SROA actually has little to do with replacement. It has more to do with splitting. The goal is to take an aggregate alloca and form a composition of scalar allocas which can replace it and will be most suitable to the eventual replacement by scalar SSA values. The actual replacement is performed by mem2reg (and in the future SSAUpdater). The splitting is divided into four phases. The first phase is an analysis of the uses of the alloca. This phase recursively walks uses, building up a dense datastructure representing the ranges of the alloca's memory actually used and checking for uses which inhibit any aspects of the transform such as the escape of a pointer. Once we have a mapping of the ranges of the alloca used by individual operations, we compute a partitioning of the used ranges. Some uses are inherently splittable (such as memcpy and memset), while scalar uses are not splittable. The goal is to build a partitioning that has the minimum number of splits while placing each unsplittable use in its own partition. Overlapping unsplittable uses belong to the same partition. This is the target split of the aggregate alloca, and it maximizes the number of scalar accesses which become accesses to their own alloca and candidates for promotion. Third, we re-walk the uses of the alloca and assign each specific memory access to all the partitions touched so that we have dense use-lists for each partition. Finally, we build a new, smaller alloca for each partition and rewrite each use of that partition to use the new alloca. During this phase the pass will also work very hard to transform uses of an alloca into a form suitable for promotion, including forming vector operations, speculating loads throguh PHI nodes and selects, etc. After splitting is complete, each newly refined alloca that is a candidate for promotion to a scalar SSA value is run through mem2reg. There are lots of reasonably detailed comments in the source code about the design and algorithms, and I'm going to be trying to improve them in subsequent commits to ensure this is well documented, as the new pass is in many ways more complex than the old one. Some of this is still a WIP, but the current state is reasonbly stable. It has passed bootstrap, the nightly test suite, and Duncan has run it successfully through the ACATS and DragonEgg test suites. That said, it remains behind a default-off flag until the last few pieces are in place, and full testing can be done. Specific areas I'm looking at next: - Improved comments and some code cleanup from reviews. - SSAUpdater and enabling this pass inside the CGSCC pass manager. - Some datastructure tuning and compile-time measurements. - More aggressive FCA splitting and vector formation. Many thanks to Duncan Sands for the thorough final review, as well as Benjamin Kramer for lots of review during the process of writing this pass, and Daniel Berlin for reviewing the data structures and algorithms and general theory of the pass. Also, several other people on IRC, over lunch tables, etc for lots of feedback and advice. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@163883 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

First major step toward addressing PR14059. This teaches SROA to handle cases where we have partial integer loads and stores to an otherwise promotable alloca to widen[1] those loads and stores to cover the entire alloca and bitcast them into the appropriate type such that promotion can proceed. These partial loads and stores stem from an annoying confluence of ARM's calling convention and ABI lowering and the FCA pre-splitting which takes place in SROA. Clang lowers a { double, double } in-register function argument as a [4 x i32] function argument to ensure it is placed into integer 32-bit registers (a really unnerving implicit contract between Clang and the ARM backend I would add). This results in a FCA load of [4 x i32]* from the { double, double } alloca, and SROA decomposes this into a sequence of i32 loads and stores. Inlining proceeds, code gets folded, but at the end of the day, we still have i32 stores to the low and high halves of a double alloca. Widening these to be i64 operations, and bitcasting them to double prior to loading or storing allows promotion to proceed for these allocas. I looked quite a bit changing the IR which Clang produces for this case to be more friendly, but small changes seem unlikely to help. I think the best representation we could use currently would be to pass 4 i32 arguments thereby avoiding any FCAs, but that would still require this fix. It seems like it might eventually be nice to somehow encode the ABI register selection choices outside of the parameter type system so that the parameter can be a { double, double }, but the CC register annotations indicate that this should be passed via 4 integer registers. This patch does not address the second problem in PR14059, which is the reverse: when a struct alloca is loaded as a *larger* single integer. This patch also does not address some of the code quality issues with the FCA-splitting. Those don't actually impede any optimizations really, but they're on my list to clean up. [1]: Pedantic footnote: for those concerned about memory model issues here, this is safe. For the alloca to be promotable, it cannot escape or have any use of its address that could allow these loads or stores to be racing. Thus, widening is always safe. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@165928 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Some of this is still a WIP, but the current state is reasonbly stable. It has passed bootstrap, the nightly test suite, and Duncan has run it successfully through the ACATS and DragonEgg test suites. That said, it remains behind a default-off flag until the last few pieces are in place, and full testing can be done. Specific areas I'm looking at next: - Improved comments and some code cleanup from reviews. - SSAUpdater and enabling this pass inside the CGSCC pass manager. - Some datastructure tuning and compile-time measurements. - More aggressive FCA splitting and vector formation. Many thanks to Duncan Sands for the thorough final review, as well as Benjamin Kramer for lots of review during the process of writing this pass, and Daniel Berlin for reviewing the data structures and algorithms and general theory of the pass.

%f = alloca double
store double 0.0, double* %f
First major step toward addressing PR14059. This teaches SROA to handle cases where we have partial integer loads and stores to an otherwise promotable alloca to widen[1] those loads and stores to cover the entire alloca and bitcast them into the appropriate type such that promotion can proceed. These partial loads and stores stem from an annoying confluence of ARM's calling convention and ABI lowering and the FCA pre-splitting which takes place in SROA. Clang lowers a { double, double } in-register function argument as a [4 x i32] function argument to ensure it is placed into integer 32-bit registers (a really unnerving implicit contract between Clang and the ARM backend I would add). This results in a FCA load of [4 x i32]* from the { double, double } alloca, and SROA decomposes this into a sequence of i32 loads and stores. Inlining proceeds, code gets folded, but at the end of the day, we still have i32 stores to the low and high halves of a double alloca. Widening these to be i64 operations, and bitcasting them to double prior to loading or storing allows promotion to proceed for these allocas. I looked quite a bit changing the IR which Clang produces for this case to be more friendly, but small changes seem unlikely to help. I think the best representation we could use currently would be to pass 4 i32 arguments thereby avoiding any FCAs, but that would still require this fix. It seems like it might eventually be nice to somehow encode the ABI register selection choices outside of the parameter type system so that the parameter can be a { double, double }, but the CC register annotations indicate that this should be passed via 4 integer registers. This patch does not address the second problem in PR14059, which is the reverse: when a struct alloca is loaded as a *larger* single integer. This patch also does not address some of the code quality issues with the FCA-splitting. Those don't actually impede any optimizations really, but they're on my list to clean up. [1]: Pedantic footnote: for those concerned about memory model issues here, this is safe. For the alloca to be promotable, it cannot escape or have any use of its address that could allow these loads or stores to be racing. Thus, widening is always safe. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@165928 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

store float 0.0, float* %ptr
Introduce a new SROA implementation. This is essentially a ground up re-think of the SROA pass in LLVM. It was initially inspired by a few problems with the existing pass: - It is subject to the bane of my existence in optimizations: arbitrary thresholds. - It is overly conservative about which constructs can be split and promoted. - The vector value replacement aspect is separated from the splitting logic, missing many opportunities where splitting and vector value formation can work together. - The splitting is entirely based around the underlying type of the alloca, despite this type often having little to do with the reality of how that memory is used. This is especially prevelant with unions and base classes where we tail-pack derived members. - When splitting fails (often due to the thresholds), the vector value replacement (again because it is separate) can kick in for preposterous cases where we simply should have split the value. This results in forming i1024 and i2048 integer "bit vectors" that tremendously slow down subsequnet IR optimizations (due to large APInts) and impede the backend's lowering. The new design takes an approach that fundamentally is not susceptible to many of these problems. It is the result of a discusison between myself and Duncan Sands over IRC about how to premptively avoid these types of problems and how to do SROA in a more principled way. Since then, it has evolved and grown, but this remains an important aspect: it fixes real world problems with the SROA process today. First, the transform of SROA actually has little to do with replacement. It has more to do with splitting. The goal is to take an aggregate alloca and form a composition of scalar allocas which can replace it and will be most suitable to the eventual replacement by scalar SSA values. The actual replacement is performed by mem2reg (and in the future SSAUpdater). The splitting is divided into four phases. The first phase is an analysis of the uses of the alloca. This phase recursively walks uses, building up a dense datastructure representing the ranges of the alloca's memory actually used and checking for uses which inhibit any aspects of the transform such as the escape of a pointer. Once we have a mapping of the ranges of the alloca used by individual operations, we compute a partitioning of the used ranges. Some uses are inherently splittable (such as memcpy and memset), while scalar uses are not splittable. The goal is to build a partitioning that has the minimum number of splits while placing each unsplittable use in its own partition. Overlapping unsplittable uses belong to the same partition. This is the target split of the aggregate alloca, and it maximizes the number of scalar accesses which become accesses to their own alloca and candidates for promotion. Third, we re-walk the uses of the alloca and assign each specific memory access to all the partitions touched so that we have dense use-lists for each partition. Finally, we build a new, smaller alloca for each partition and rewrite each use of that partition to use the new alloca. During this phase the pass will also work very hard to transform uses of an alloca into a form suitable for promotion, including forming vector operations, speculating loads throguh PHI nodes and selects, etc. After splitting is complete, each newly refined alloca that is a candidate for promotion to a scalar SSA value is run through mem2reg.

Fix PR14132 and handle OOB loads speculated throuh PHI nodes. The issue is that we may end up with newly OOB loads when speculating a load into the predecessors of a PHI node, and this confuses the new integer splitting logic in some cases, triggering an assertion failure. In fact, the branch in question must be dead code as it loads from a too-narrow alloca. Add code to handle this gracefully and leave the requisite FIXMEs for both optimizing more aggressively and doing more to aid sanitizing invalid code which triggers these patterns. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@168361 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
