ac34a28746 Add code owner of scoped-noalias metadata
Add myself as the code owner for the scoped-noalias metadata I've developed.

9f0a2a8bd5 Convert noalias parameter attributes into noalias metadata during inlining
This functionality is currently turned off by default.

Part of the motivation for introducing scoped-noalias metadata is to enable the
preservation of noalias parameter attribute information after inlining.
Sometimes this can be inferred from the code in the caller after inlining, but
often we simply lose valuable information.

The overall process if fairly simple:
 1. Create a new unqiue scope domain.
 2. For each (used) noalias parameter, create a new alias scope.
 3. For each pointer, collect the underlying objects. Add a noalias scope for
    each noalias parameter from which we're not derived (and has not been
    captured prior to that point).
 4. Add an alias.scope for each noalias parameter from which we might be
    derived (or has been captured before that point).

Note that the capture checks apply only if one of the underlying objects is not
an identified function-local object.

6f5c609076 Simplify and improve scoped-noalias metadata semantics
In the process of fixing the noalias parameter -> metadata conversion process
that will take place during inlining (which will be committed soon, but not
turned on by default), I have come to realize that the semantics provided by
yesterday's commit are not really what we want. Here's why:

void foo(noalias a, noalias b, noalias c, bool x) {
  *q = x ? a : b;
  *c = *q;
}

Generically, we know that *c does not alias with *a and with *b (so there is an
'and' in what we know we're not), and we know that *q might be derived from *a
or from *b (so there is an 'or' in what we know that we are). So we do not want
the semantics currently, where any noalias scope matching any alias.scope
causes a NoAlias return. What we want to know is that the noalias scopes form a
superset of the alias.scope list (meaning that all the things we know we're not
is a superset of all of things the other instruction might be).

Making that change, however, introduces a composibility problem. If we inline
once, adding the noalias metadata, and then inline again adding more, and we
append new scopes onto the noalias and alias.scope lists each time. But, this
means that we could change what was a NoAlias result previously into a MayAlias
result because we appended an additional scope onto one of the alias.scope
lists. So, instead of giving scopes the ability to have parents (which I had
borrowed from the TBAA implementation, but seems increasingly unlikely to be
useful in practice), I've given them domains. The subset/superset condition now
applies within each domain independently, and we only need it to hold in one
domain. Each time we inline, we add the new scopes in a new scope domain, and
everything now composes nicely. In addition, this simplifies the
implementation.

deb8e30913 Try to fix a layering violation introduced by r213945
The dragonegg buildbot (and others?) started failing after
r213945/r213946 because `llvm-as` wasn't linking in the bitcode reader.
I think moving the verify functions to the same file as the verify pass
should fix the build.  Adding a command-line option for maintaining
use-list order in assembly as a drive-by to prevent warnings about
unused static functions.

7bf73bd378 IPO: Add use-list-order verifier
Add a -verify-use-list-order pass, which shuffles use-list order, writes
to bitcode, reads back, and verifies that the (shuffled) order matches.

  - The utility functions live in lib/IR/UseListOrder.cpp.

  - Moved (and renamed) the command-line option to enable writing
    use-lists, so that this pass can return early if the use-list orders
    aren't being serialized.

It's not clear that this pass is the right direction long-term (perhaps
a separate tool instead?), but short-term it's a great way to test the
use-list order prototype.  I've added an XFAIL-ed testcase that I'm
hoping to get working pretty quickly.

This is part of PR5680.

568ab6a8dc [SDAG] Enable the new assert for out-of-range result numbers in
SDValues, fixing the two bugs left in the regression suite.

The key for both of these was the use a single value type rather than
a VTList which caused an unintentionally single-result merge-value node.
Fix this by getting the appropriate VTList in place.

Doing this exposed that the comments in x86's code abouth how MUL_LOHI
operands are handle is wrong. The bug with the use of out-of-range
result numbers was hiding the bug about the order of operands here (as
best i can tell). There are more places where the code appears to get
this backwards still...

2286ae542c [PATCH][PPC64LE] Correct little-endian usage of vmrgh* and vmrgl*.
Because the PowerPC vmrgh* and vmrgl* instructions have a built-in
big-endian bias, it is necessary to swap their inputs in little-endian
mode when using them to implement a vector shuffle.  This was
previously missed in the vector LE implementation.

There was already logic to distinguish between unary and "normal"
vmrg* vector shuffles, so this patch extends that logic to use a third
option:  "swapped" vmrg* vector shuffles that are used for little
endian in place of the "normal" ones.

I've updated the vec-shuffle-le.ll test to check for the expected
register ordering on the generated instructions.

This bug was discovered when testing the LE and ELFv2 patches for
safety if they were backported to 3.4.  A different vectorization
decision was made in 3.4 than on mainline trunk, and that exposed the
problem.  I've verified this fix takes care of that issue.

d24d326705 [SDAG] Introduce a combined set to the DAG combiner which tracks nodes
which have successfully round-tripped through the combine phase, and use
this to ensure all operands to DAG nodes are visited by the combiner,
even if they are only added during the combine phase.

This is critical to have the combiner reach nodes that are *introduced*
during combining. Previously these would sometimes be visited and
sometimes not be visited based on whether they happened to end up on the
worklist or not. Now we always run them through the combiner.

This fixes quite a few bad codegen test cases lurking in the suite while
also being more principled. Among these, the TLS codegeneration is
particularly exciting for programs that have this in the critical path
like TSan-instrumented binaries (although I think they engineer to use
a different TLS that is faster anyways).

I've tried to check for compile-time regressions here by running llc
over a merged (but not LTO-ed) clang bitcode file and observed at most
a 3% slowdown in llc. Given that this is essentially a worst case (none
of opt or clang are running at this phase) I think this is tolerable.
The actual LTO case should be even less costly, and the cost in normal
compilation should be negligible.

With this combining logic, it is possible to re-legalize as we combine
which is necessary to implement PSHUFB formation on x86 as
a post-legalize DAG combine (my ultimate goal).

1b1fbccf49 [x86] Make vector legalization of extloads work more like the "normal"
vector operation legalization with support for custom target lowering
and fallback to expand when it fails, and use this to implement sext and
anyext load lowering for x86 in a more principled way.

Previously, the x86 backend relied on a target DAG combine to "combine
away" sextload and extload nodes prior to legalization, or would expand
them during legalization with terrible code. This is particularly
problematic because the DAG combine relies on running over non-canonical
DAG nodes at just the right time to match several common and important
patterns. It used a combine rather than lowering because we didn't have
good lowering support, and to expose some tricks being employed to more
combine phases.

With this change it becomes a proper lowering operation, the backend
marks that it can lower these nodes, and I've added support for handling
the canonical forms that don't have direct legal representations such as
sextload of a v4i8 -> v4i64 on AVX1. With this change, our test cases
for this behavior continue to pass even after the DAG combiner beigns
running more systematically over every node.

There is some noise caused by this in the test suite where we actually
use vector extends instead of subregister extraction. This doesn't
really seem like the right thing to do, but is unlikely to be a critical
regression. We do regress in one case where by lowering to the
target-specific patterns early we were able to combine away extraneous
legal math nodes. However, this regression is completely addressed by
switching to a widening based legalization which is what I'm working
toward anyways, so I've just switched the test to that mode.

b96e833817 [X86] Optimize stackmap shadows on X86.
This patch minimizes the number of nops that must be emitted on X86 to satisfy
stackmap shadow constraints.

To minimize the number of nops inserted, the X86AsmPrinter now records the
size of the most recent stackmap's shadow in the StackMapShadowTracker class,
and tracks the number of instruction bytes emitted since the that stackmap
instruction was encountered. Padding is emitted (if it is required at all)
immediately before the next stackmap/patchpoint instruction, or at the end of
the basic block.

This optimization should reduce code-size and improve performance for people
using the llvm stackmap intrinsic on X86.

9a050915f9 X86: silence sign comparison warning
GCC 4.8 detected a signed compare [-Wsign-compare].  Add a cast for the
destination index.  Add an assert to catch a potential overflow however unlikely
it may be.

3715084d47 AArch64: refactor ReconstructShuffle function
Quite a bit of cruft had accumulated as we realised the various different cases
it had to handle and squeezed them in where possible. This refactoring mostly
flattens the logic and special-cases. The result is slightly longer, but I
think clearer.

Should be no functionality change.

16fd27b2c3 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.
