1afbb51796 Improve debug info generated with enabled AddressSanitizer.
When ASan replaces <alloca instruction> with
<offset into a common large alloca>, it should also patch
llvm.dbg.declare calls and replace debug info descriptors to mark
that we've replaced alloca with a value that stores an address
of the user variable, not the user variable itself.

See PR11818 for more context.

08e13e4488 Don't use a red zone for code coverage if the user specified `-mno-red-zone'.
The `-mno-red-zone' flag wasn't being propagated to the functions that code
coverage generates. This allowed some of them to use the red zone when that
wasn't allowed.

d04a8d4b33 Use the new script to sort the includes of every file under lib.
Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.

Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

2920a71663 instcombine: Migrate math library call simplifications
This patch migrates the math library call simplifications from the
simplify-libcalls pass into the instcombine library call simplifier.

I have typically migrated just one simplifier at a time, but the math
simplifiers are interdependent because:

   1. CosOpt, PowOpt, and Exp2Opt all depend on UnaryDoubleFPOpt.
   2. CosOpt, PowOpt, Exp2Opt, and UnaryDoubleFPOpt all depend on
      the option -enable-double-float-shrink.

These two factors made migrating each of these simplifiers individually
more of a pain than it would be worth.  So, I migrated them all together.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@167815 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

b69bf6be1b Add method for replacing instructions to LibCallSimplifier
In some cases the library call simplifier may need to replace instructions
other than the library call being simplified.  In those cases it may be
necessary for clients of the simplifier to override how the replacements
are actually done.  As such, a new overrideable method for replacing
instructions was added to LibCallSimplifier.

A new subclass of LibCallSimplifier is also defined which overrides
the instruction replacement method.  This is because the instruction
combiner defines its own replacement method which updates the worklist
when instructions are replaced.

426c2bf5cd Revert the majority of the next patch in the address space series:
r165941: Resubmit the changes to llvm core to update the functions to
         support different pointer sizes on a per address space basis.

Despite this commit log, this change primarily changed stuff outside of
VMCore, and those changes do not carry any tests for correctness (or
even plausibility), and we have consistently found questionable or flat
out incorrect cases in these changes. Most of them are probably correct,
but we need to devise a system that makes it more clear when we have
handled the address space concerns correctly, and ideally each pass that
gets updated would receive an accompanying test case that exercises that
pass specificaly w.r.t. alternate address spaces.

However, from this commit, I have retained the new C API entry points.
Those were an orthogonal change that probably should have been split
apart, but they seem entirely good.

In several places the changes were very obvious cleanups with no actual
multiple address space code added; these I have not reverted when
I spotted them.

In a few other places there were merge conflicts due to a cleaner
solution being implemented later, often not using address spaces at all.
In those cases, I've preserved the new code which isn't address space
dependent.

This is part of my ongoing effort to clean out the partial address space
code which carries high risk and low test coverage, and not likely to be
finished before the 3.2 release looms closer. Duncan and I would both
like to see the above issues addressed before we return to these
changes.

ece6c6bb63 Revert the series of commits starting with r166578 which introduced the
getIntPtrType support for multiple address spaces via a pointer type,
and also introduced a crasher bug in the constant folder reported in
PR14233.

These commits also contained several problems that should really be
addressed before they are re-committed. I have avoided reverting various
cleanups to the DataLayout APIs that are reasonable to have moving
forward in order to reduce the amount of churn, and minimize the number
of commits that were reverted. I've also manually updated merge
conflicts and manually arranged for the getIntPtrType function to stay
in DataLayout and to be defined in a plausible way after this revert.

Thanks to Duncan for working through this exact strategy with me, and
Nick Lewycky for tracking down the really annoying crasher this
triggered. (Test case to follow in its own commit.)

After discussing with Duncan extensively, and based on a note from
Micah, I'm going to continue to back out some more of the more
problematic patches in this series in order to ensure we go into the
LLVM 3.2 branch with a reasonable story here. I'll send a note to
llvmdev explaining what's going on and why.

Summary of reverted revisions:

r166634: Fix a compiler warning with an unused variable.
r166607: Add some cleanup to the DataLayout changes requested by
         Chandler.
r166596: Revert "Back out r166591, not sure why this made it through
         since I cancelled the command. Bleh, sorry about this!
r166591: Delete a directory that wasn't supposed to be checked in yet.
r166578: Add in support for getIntPtrType to get the pointer type based
         on the address space.

04d7d13d30 Use TargetTransformInfo to control switch-to-lookup table transformation
When the switch-to-lookup tables transform landed in SimplifyCFG, it
was pointed out that this could be inappropriate for some targets.
Since there was no way at the time for the pass to know anything about
the target, an awkward reverse-transform was added in CodeGenPrepare
that turned lookup tables back into switches for some targets.

This patch uses the new TargetTransformInfo to determine if a
switch should be transformed, and removes
CodeGenPrepare::ConvertLoadToSwitch.

63a1eb62e4 Introduce a BarrierNoop pass, a hack designed to allow *some* control
over the implicitly-formed-and-nesting CGSCC pass manager and function
pass managers, especially when using them on the opt commandline or
using extension points in the module builder. The '-barrier' opt flag
(or the pass itself) will create a no-op module pass in the pipeline,
resetting the pass manager stack, and allowing the creation of a new
pipeline of function passes or CGSCC passes to be created that is
independent from any previous pipelines.

For example, this can be used to test running two CGSCC passes in
independent CGSCC pass managers as opposed to in the same CGSCC pass
manager. It also allows us to introduce a further hack into the
PassManagerBuilder to separate the O0 pipeline extension passes from the
always-inliner's CGSCC pass manager, which they likely do not want to
participate in... At the very least none of the Sanitizer passes want
this behavior.

This fixes a bug with ASan at O0 currently, and I'll commit the ASan
test which covers this pass. I'm happy to add a test case that this pass
exists and works, but not sure how much time folks would like me to
spend adding test cases for the details of its behavior of partition
pass managers.... The whole thing is just vile, and mostly intended to
unblock ASan, so I'm hoping to rip this all out in a brave new pass
manager world.

5e8904576a Implement new LibCallSimplifier class
This patch implements the new LibCallSimplifier class as outlined in [1].
In addition to providing the new base library simplification infrastructure,
all the fortified library call simplifications were moved over to the new
infrastructure.  The rest of the library simplification optimizations will
be moved over with follow up patches.

NOTE: The original fortified library call simplifier located in the
SimplifyFortifiedLibCalls class was not removed because it is still
used by CodeGenPrepare.  This class will eventually go away too.

1c8db50a9a Port the SSAUpdater-based promotion logic from the old SROA pass to the
new one, and add support for running the new pass in that mode and in
that slot of the pass manager. With this the new pass can completely
replace the old one within the pipeline.

The strategy for enabling or disabling the SSAUpdater logic is to do it
by making the requirement of the domtree analysis optional. By default,
it is required and we get the standard mem2reg approach. This is usually
the desired strategy when run in stand-alone situations. Within the
CGSCC pass manager, we disable requiring of the domtree analysis and
consequentially trigger fallback to the SSAUpdater promotion.

In theory this would allow the pass to re-use a domtree if one happened
to be available even when run in a mode that doesn't require it. In
practice, it lets us have a single pass rather than two which was
simpler for me to wrap my head around.

There is a hidden flag to force the use of the SSAUpdater code path for
the purpose of testing. The primary testing strategy is just to run the
existing tests through that path. One notable difference is that it has
custom code to handle lifetime markers, and one of the tests has been
enhanced to exercise that code.

This has survived a bootstrap and the test suite without serious
correctness issues, however my run of the test suite produced *very*
alarming performance numbers. I don't entirely understand or trust them
though, so more investigation is on-going.

To aid my understanding of the performance impact of the new SROA now
that it runs throughout the optimization pipeline, I'm enabling it by
default in this commit, and will disable it again once the LNT bots have
picked up one iteration with it. I want to get those bots (which are
much more stable) to evaluate the impact of the change before I jump to
any conclusions.

NOTE: Several Clang tests will fail because they run -O3 and check the
result's order of output. They'll go back to passing once I disable it
again.

713aa9431d 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.
