directly model in the new PM.
This also was an incredibly brittle and expensive update API that was
never fully utilized by all the passes that claimed to preserve AA, nor
could it reasonably have been extended to all of them. Any number of
places add uses of values. If we ever wanted to reliably instrument
this, we would want a callback hook much like we have with ValueHandles,
but doing this for every use addition seems *extremely* expensive in
terms of compile time.
The only user of this update mechanism is GlobalsModRef. The idea of
using this to keep it up to date doesn't really work anyways as its
analysis requires a symmetric analysis of two different memory
locations. It would be very hard to make updates be sufficiently
rigorous to *guarantee* symmetric analysis in this way, and it pretty
certainly isn't true today.
However, folks have been using GMR with this update for a long time and
seem to not be hitting the issues. The reported issue that the update
hook fixes isn't even a problem any more as other changes to
GetUnderlyingObject worked around it, and that issue stemmed from *many*
years ago. As a consequence, a prior patch provided a flag to control
the unsafe behavior of GMR, and this patch removes the update mechanism
that has questionable compile-time tradeoffs and is causing problems
with moving to the new pass manager. Note the lack of test updates --
not one test in tree actually requires this update, even for a contrived
case.
All of this was extensively discussed on the dev list, this patch will
just enact what that discussion decides on. I'm sending it for review in
part to show what I'm planning, and in part to show the *amazing* amount
of work this avoids. Every call to the AA here is something like three
to six indirect function calls, which in the non-LTO pipeline never do
any work! =[

basic changes to the IR such as folding pointers through PHIs, Selects,
integer casts, store/load pairs, or outlining.
This leaves the feature available behind a flag. This flag's default
could be flipped if necessary, but the real-world performance impact of
this particular feature of GMR may not be sufficiently significant for
many folks to want to run the risk.
Currently, the risk here is somewhat mitigated by half-hearted attempts
to update GlobalsModRef when the rest of the optimizer changes
something. However, I am currently trying to remove that update
mechanism as it makes migrating the AA infrastructure to a form that can
be readily shared between new and old pass managers very challenging.
Without this update mechanism, it is possible that this still unlikely
failure mode will start to trip people, and so I wanted to try to
proactively avoid that.
There is a lengthy discussion on the mailing list about why the core
approach here is flawed, and likely would need to look totally different
to be both reasonably effective and resilient to basic IR changes
occuring. This patch is essentially the first of two which will enact
the result of that discussion. The next patch will remove the current
update mechanism.
Thanks to lots of folks that helped look at this from different angles.
Especial thanks to Michael Zolotukhin for doing some very prelimanary
benchmarking of LTO without GlobalsModRef to get a rough idea of the
impact we could be facing here. So far, it looks very small, but there
are some concerns lingering from other benchmarking. The default here
may get flipped if performance results end up pointing at this as a more
significant issue.
Also thanks to Pete and Gerolf for reviewing!

inspection.
While we want to handle calls specially in this code because they should
have been modeled by the call graph analysis that precedes it, we should
*not* be re-implementing the predicates for whether an instruction reads
or writes memory. Those are well defined already. Notably, at least the
following issues seem to be clearly missed before:
- Ordered atomic loads can "write" to memory by causing writes from other
threads to become visible. Similarly for ordered atomic stores.
- AtomicRMW instructions quite obviously both read and write to memory.
- AtomicCmpXchg instructions also read and write to memory.
- Fences read and write to memory.
- Invokes of intrinsics or memory allocation functions.
I don't have any test cases, and I suspect this has never really come up
in the real world. But there is no reason why it wouldn't, and it makes
the code simpler to do this the right way.
While here, I've tried to make the loops significantly simpler as well
and added helpful comments as to what is going on.

No in-tree alias analysis used this facility, and it was not called in
any particularly rigorous way, so it seems unlikely to be correct.
Note that one of the only stateful AA implementations in-tree,
GlobalsModRef is completely broken currently (and any AA passes like it
are equally broken) because Module AA passes are not effectively
invalidated when a function pass that fails to update the AA stack runs.
Ultimately, it doesn't seem like we know how we want to build stateful
AA, and until then trying to support and maintain correctness for an
untested API is essentially impossible. To that end, I'm planning to rip
out all of the update API. It can return if and when we need it and know
how to build it on top of the new pass manager and as part of *tested*
stateful AA implementations in the tree.

Summary:
Initially, these intrinsics seemed like part of a family of "frame"
related intrinsics, but now I think that's more confusing than helpful.
Initially, the LangRef specified that this would create a new kind of
allocation that would be allocated at a fixed offset from the frame
pointer (EBP/RBP). We ended up dropping that design, and leaving the
stack frame layout alone.
These intrinsics are really about sharing local stack allocations, not
frame pointers. I intend to go further and add an `llvm.localaddress()`
intrinsic that returns whatever register (EBP, ESI, ESP, RBX) is being
used to address locals, which should not be confused with the frame
pointer.
Naming suggestions at this point are welcome, I'm happy to re-run sed.

If we have a caller that knows a particular argument can never be null, we can exploit this fact while simplifying values in the inline cost analysis. This has the effect of reducing the cost for inlining when a null check is present in the callee, but the value is known non null in the caller. In particular, any dependent control flow can be discounted from the cost estimate.
Note that we use the parameter attributes at the call site to memoize the analysis within the caller's code. The setting of this attribute is done in InstCombine, the inline cost analysis just consumes it. This is intentional and important because we want the inline cost analysis results to be easily cachable themselves. We're not currently doing so, but initial results on LTO indicate this will quickly become important.

This will allow classes to implement the AA interface without deriving
from the class or referencing an internal enum of some other class as
their return types.
Also, to a pretty fundamental extent, concepts such as 'NoAlias',
'MayAlias', and 'MustAlias' are first class concepts in LLVM and we
aren't saving anything by scoping them heavily.
My mild preference would have been to use a scoped enum, but that
feature is essentially completely broken AFAICT. I'm extremely
disappointed. For example, we cannot through any reasonable[1] means
construct an enum class (or analog) which has scoped names but converts
to a boolean in order to test for the possibility of aliasing.
[1]: Richard Smith came up with a "solution", but it requires class
templates, and lots of boilerplate setting up the enumeration multiple
times. Something like Boost.PP could potentially bundle this up, but
even that would be quite painful and it doesn't seem realistically worth
it. The enum class solution would probably work without the need for
a bool conversion.

Currently intrinsics don't affect the creation of the call graph.
This is not accurate with respect to statepoint and patchpoint
intrinsics -- these do call (or invoke) LLVM level functions.
This change fixes this inconsistency by adding a call to the external
node for call sites that call these non-leaf intrinsics. This coupled
with the fact that these intrinsics also escape the function pointer
they call gives us a conservatively correct call graph.

model the dense vector instruction bonuses.
Previously, this code really didn't effectively compute the density of
inlined vector instructions and apply the intended inliner bonus. It
would try to compute it repeatedly while analyzing the function and
didn't handle the case where future vector instructions would tip the
scales back towards the bonus.
Instead, speculatively apply all possible bonuses to the threshold
initially. Once we *know* that a certain bonus can not be applied,
subtract it. This should delay early bailout enough to get much more
consistent results without actually causing us to analyze huge swaths of
code. I expect some (hopefully mild) compile time hit here, and some
swings in performance, but this was definitely the intended behavior of
these bonuses.
This also dramatically simplifies the computation of the bonuses to not
interact with each other in confusing ways. The previous code didn't do
a good job of this and the values for bonuses may be surprising but are
at least now clearly written in the code.
Finally, fix code to be in line with comments and use zero as the
bailout condition.

Inlining such intrinsics is very difficult, since you need to
simultaneously transform many calls to llvm.framerecover and potentially
duplicate the functions containing them. Normally this intrinsic isn't
added until EH preparation, which is part of the backend pass pipeline
after inlining. However, if it were to get fed through the inliner,
this change will ensure that it doesn't break the code.

CallSite roughly behaves as a common base CallInst and InvokeInst. Bring
the behavior closer to that model by making upcasts explicit. Downcasts
remain implicit and work as before.
Following dyn_cast as a mental model checking whether a Value *V isa
CallSite now looks like this:
if (auto CS = CallSite(V)) // think dyn_cast
instead of:
if (CallSite CS = V)
This is an extra token but I think it is slightly clearer. Making the
ctor explicit has the advantage of not accidentally creating nullptr
CallSites, e.g. when you pass a Value * to a function taking a CallSite
argument.

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

type erased interface and a single analysis pass rather than an
extremely complex analysis group.
The end result is that the TTI analysis can contain a type erased
implementation that supports the polymorphic TTI interface. We can build
one from a target-specific implementation or from a dummy one in the IR.
I've also factored all of the code into "mix-in"-able base classes,
including CRTP base classes to facilitate calling back up to the most
specialized form when delegating horizontally across the surface. These
aren't as clean as I would like and I'm planning to work on cleaning
some of this up, but I wanted to start by putting into the right form.
There are a number of reasons for this change, and this particular
design. The first and foremost reason is that an analysis group is
complete overkill, and the chaining delegation strategy was so opaque,
confusing, and high overhead that TTI was suffering greatly for it.
Several of the TTI functions had failed to be implemented in all places
because of the chaining-based delegation making there be no checking of
this. A few other functions were implemented with incorrect delegation.
The message to me was very clear working on this -- the delegation and
analysis group structure was too confusing to be useful here.
The other reason of course is that this is *much* more natural fit for
the new pass manager. This will lay the ground work for a type-erased
per-function info object that can look up the correct subtarget and even
cache it.
Yet another benefit is that this will significantly simplify the
interaction of the pass managers and the TargetMachine. See the future
work below.
The downside of this change is that it is very, very verbose. I'm going
to work to improve that, but it is somewhat an implementation necessity
in C++ to do type erasure. =/ I discussed this design really extensively
with Eric and Hal prior to going down this path, and afterward showed
them the result. No one was really thrilled with it, but there doesn't
seem to be a substantially better alternative. Using a base class and
virtual method dispatch would make the code much shorter, but as
discussed in the update to the programmer's manual and elsewhere,
a polymorphic interface feels like the more principled approach even if
this is perhaps the least compelling example of it. ;]
Ultimately, there is still a lot more to be done here, but this was the
huge chunk that I couldn't really split things out of because this was
the interface change to TTI. I've tried to minimize all the other parts
of this. The follow up work should include at least:
1) Improving the TargetMachine interface by having it directly return
a TTI object. Because we have a non-pass object with value semantics
and an internal type erasure mechanism, we can narrow the interface
of the TargetMachine to *just* do what we need: build and return
a TTI object that we can then insert into the pass pipeline.
2) Make the TTI object be fully specialized for a particular function.
This will include splitting off a minimal form of it which is
sufficient for the inliner and the old pass manager.
3) Add a new pass manager analysis which produces TTI objects from the
target machine for each function. This may actually be done as part
of #2 in order to use the new analysis to implement #2.
4) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and the targets so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to type erase.
5) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and its clients so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to forward.
6) Try to improve the CRTP-based delegation. I feel like this code is
just a bit messy and exacerbating the complexity of implementing
the TTI in each target.
Many thanks to Eric and Hal for their help here. I ended up blocked on
this somewhat more abruptly than I expected, and so I appreciate getting
it sorted out very quickly.

a cache of assumptions for a single function, and an immutable pass that
manages those caches.
The motivation for this change is two fold. Immutable analyses are
really hacks around the current pass manager design and don't exist in
the new design. This is usually OK, but it requires that the core logic
of an immutable pass be reasonably partitioned off from the pass logic.
This change does precisely that. As a consequence it also paves the way
for the *many* utility functions that deal in the assumptions to live in
both pass manager worlds by creating an separate non-pass object with
its own independent API that they all rely on. Now, the only bits of the
system that deal with the actual pass mechanics are those that actually
need to deal with the pass mechanics.
Once this separation is made, several simplifications become pretty
obvious in the assumption cache itself. Rather than using a set and
callback value handles, it can just be a vector of weak value handles.
The callers can easily skip the handles that are null, and eventually we
can wrap all of this up behind a filter iterator.
For now, this adds boiler plate to the various passes, but this kind of
boiler plate will end up making it possible to port these passes to the
new pass manager, and so it will end up factored away pretty reasonably.

This adds a set of utility functions for collecting 'ephemeral' values. These
are LLVM IR values that are used only by @llvm.assume intrinsics (directly or
indirectly), and thus will be removed prior to code generation, implying that
they should be considered free for certain purposes (like inlining). The
inliner's cost analysis, and a few other passes, have been updated to account
for ephemeral values using the provided functionality.
This functionality is important for the usability of @llvm.assume, because it
limits the "non-local" side-effects of adding llvm.assume on inlining, loop
unrolling, etc. (these are hints, and do not generate code, so they should not
directly contribute to estimates of execution cost).

fixed back in 2008.
If this breaks anything, please revert; I have only tested this with a single
configuration, and it's possible that this is still somehow fixing something
(though I doubt it, since no other similar file uses this mechanism any more).

It's also possible to just write "= nullptr", but there's some question
of whether that's as readable, so I leave it up to authors to pick which
they prefer for now. If we want to discuss standardizing on one or the
other, we can do that at some point in the future.

Inlining functions with block addresses can cause many problem and requires a
rich infrastructure to support including escape analysis. At this point the
safest approach to address these problems is by blocking inlining from
happening.
Background:
There have been reports on Ruby segmentation faults triggered by inlining
functions with block addresses like
//Ruby code snippet
vm_exec_core() {
finish_insn_seq_0 = &&INSN_LABEL_finish;
INSN_LABEL_finish:
;
}
This kind of scenario can also happen when LLVM picks a subset of blocks for
inlining, which is the case with the actual code in the Ruby environment.
LLVM suppresses inlining for such functions when there is an indirect branch.
The attached patch does so even when there is no indirect branch. Note that
user code like above would not make much sense: using the global for jumping
across function boundaries would be illegal.
Why was there a segfault:
In the snipped above the block with the label is recognized as dead So it is
eliminated. Instead of a block address the cloner stores a constant (sic!) into
the global resulting in the segfault (when the global is used in a goto).
Why had it worked in the past then:
By luck. In older versions vm_exec_core was also inlined but the label address
used was the block label address in vm_exec_core. So the global jump ended up
in the original function rather than in the caller which accidentally happened
to work.
Test case ./tools/clang/test/CodeGen/indirect-goto.c will fail as a result
of this commit.

never be true in a well-defined context. The checking for null pointers
has been moved into the caller logic so it does not rely on undefined behavior.
