60d74b7101 [RewriteStatepointsForGC] Generalized vector phi/select handling for base pointers
This change extends the detection of base pointers for vector constructs to handle arbitrary phi and select nodes. The existing non-vector code already handles those, so this is basically just extending the vector special case to be less special cased. It still isn't generalized vector handling since we can't handle arbitrary vector instructions (e.g. shufflevectors), but it's a lot closer.

The general structure of the change is as follows:
 * Extend the base defining value relation over a subset of vector instructions and vector typed phi & select instructions.
 * Move scalarization from before base pointer rewriting to after base pointer rewriting. The extension of the BDV relation is sufficient to find vector base phis for vector inputs.
 * Preserve the existing special case logic for when the base of a vector element is locally obvious. This general idea could be extended to the scalar case as well.

cc714e2142 Move the personality function from LandingPadInst to Function
The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.

This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
  personality routine.  This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
  first has an operand which produces no additional information.

- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
  LandingPadInst.  Moving the personality routine off of any one
  particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
  than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
  exceptional function.

f73780ec1a [RewriteStatepointsForGC] Strip deref info after rewriting.
Summary:
Once a gc.statepoint has been rewritten to relocate live references, the
SSA values represent physical pointers instead of logical references.
Logical dereferencability does not imply physical dereferencability and
after RewriteStatepointsForGC has run any attributes that imply
dereferencability of the logical references need to be stripped.

This current approach is conservative, and can be made more precise
later if needed.  For starters, we need to strip dereferencable
attributes only from pointers that live in the GC address space.

42737039d5 [RewriteStatepointsForGC] For some values (like gep's and bitcasts) it's cheaper to clone them after statepoint than to emit proper relocates for them. This change implements this logic. There is alredy similar optimization in CodeGenPrepare, but doing so during RewriteStatepointsForGC allows to capture more opprtunities such as relocates in loops and longer instruction chains.

ead2d1fbe0 [Statepoints] Support for "patchable" statepoints.
Summary:
This change adds two new parameters to the statepoint intrinsic, `i64 id`
and `i32 num_patch_bytes`.  `id` gets propagated to the ID field
in the generated StackMap section.  If the `num_patch_bytes` is
non-zero then the statepoint is lowered to `num_patch_bytes` bytes of
nops instead of a call (the spill and reload code remains unchanged).
A non-zero `num_patch_bytes` is useful in situations where a language
runtime requires complete control over how a call is lowered.

This change brings statepoints one step closer to patchpoints.  With
some additional work (that is not part of this patch) it should be
possible to get rid of `TargetOpcode::STATEPOINT` altogether.

PlaceSafepoints generates `statepoint` wrappers with `id` set to
`0xABCDEF00` (the old default value for the ID reported in the stackmap)
and `num_patch_bytes` set to `0`.  This can be made more sophisticated
later.

6865b977ae [RewriteStatepointsForGC] Extend base pointer to handle more cases w/vectors
When relocating a pointer, we need to determine a base pointer for the derived pointer being relocated. We have limited support for handling a pointer extracted from a vector; the current code only handled the case where the entire vector was known to contain base pointers. This patch extends the reasoning to handle chains of insertelements where the indices are constants. This case turns out to be fairly common in vectorized code. We can now handle vectors which contains mixtures of base and derived pointers provided the insertelements use constant indices.

Note that this doesn't solve the general problem. To handle variable indexed insertelements, we'd need to scalarize and introduce conditional branching based on the index. Alternatively, we could eagerly scalarize, but the code structure doesn't currently make either fix easy. The patch also doesn't handle shufflevector or other vector manipulation for much the same reasons. I plan to defer this work until I have a motivating test case.

5b5782c20e [RewriteStatepointsForGC] Fix a bug on creating gc_relocate for pointer to vector of pointers
Summary:
In RewriteStatepointsForGC pass, we create a gc_relocate intrinsic for
each relocated pointer, and the gc_relocate has the same type with the
pointer. During the creation of gc_relocate intrinsic, llvm requires to
mangle its type. However, llvm does not support mangling of all possible
types. RewriteStatepointsForGC will hit an assertion failure when it
tries to create a gc_relocate for pointer to vector of pointers because
mangling for vector of pointers is not supported.

This patch changes the way RewriteStatepointsForGC pass creates
gc_relocate. For each relocated pointer, we erase the type of pointers
and create an unified gc_relocate of type i8 addrspace(1)*. Then a
bitcast is inserted to convert the gc_relocate to the correct type. In
this way, gc_relocate does not need to deal with different types of
pointers and the unsupported type mangling is no longer a problem. This
change would also ease further merge when LLVM erases types of pointers
and introduces an unified pointer type.

Some minor changes are also introduced to gc_relocate related part in
InstCombineCalls, CodeGenPrepare, and Verifier accordingly.

5c7f7462e4 Extend the statepoint intrinsic to allow statepoints to be marked as transitions from GC-aware code to code that is not GC-aware.
This changes the shape of the statepoint intrinsic from:

  @llvm.experimental.gc.statepoint(anyptr target, i32 # call args, i32 unused, ...call args, i32 # deopt args, ...deopt args, ...gc args)

to:

  @llvm.experimental.gc.statepoint(anyptr target, i32 # call args, i32 flags, ...call args, i32 # transition args, ...transition args, i32 # deopt args, ...deopt args, ...gc args)

This extension offers the backend the opportunity to insert (somewhat) arbitrary code to manage the transition from GC-aware code to code that is not GC-aware and back.

In order to support the injection of transition code, this extension wraps the STATEPOINT ISD node generated by the usual lowering lowering with two additional nodes: GC_TRANSITION_START and GC_TRANSITION_END. The transition arguments that were passed passed to the intrinsic (if any) are lowered and provided as operands to these nodes and may be used by the backend during code generation.

Eventually, the lowering of the GC_TRANSITION_{START,END} nodes should be informed by the GC strategy in use for the function containing the intrinsic call; for now, these nodes are instead replaced with no-ops.

a404b6f421 [RewriteStatepointsForGC] Exclude constant values from being considered live at a safepoint
There can be various constant pointers in the IR which do not get relocated at a safepoint. One example is the address of a global variable. Another example is a pointer created via inttoptr. Note that the optimizer itself likes to create such inttoptrs when locally propagating constants through dynamically dead code.

To deal with this, we need to exclude uses of constants from contributing to the liveness of a safepoint which might reach that use. At some later date, it might be worth exploring what could be done to support the relocation of various special types of "constants", but that's future work.

32b845d223 [opaque pointer type] Add textual IR support for explicit type parameter to the call instruction
See r230786 and r230794 for similar changes to gep and load
respectively.

Call is a bit different because it often doesn't have a single explicit
type - usually the type is deduced from the arguments, and just the
return type is explicit. In those cases there's no need to change the
IR.

When that's not the case, the IR usually contains the pointer type of
the first operand - but since typed pointers are going away, that
representation is insufficient so I'm just stripping the "pointerness"
of the explicit type away.

This does make the IR a bit weird - it /sort of/ reads like the type of
the first operand: "call void () %x(" but %x is actually of type "void
()*" and will eventually be just of type "ptr". But this seems not too
bad and I don't think it would benefit from repeating the type
("void (), void () * %x(" and then eventually "void (), ptr %x(") as has
been done with gep and load.

This also has a side benefit: since the explicit type is no longer a
pointer, there's no ambiguity between an explicit type and a function
that returns a function pointer. Previously this case needed an explicit
type (eg: a function returning a void() function was written as
"call void () () * @x(" rather than "call void () * @x(" because of the
ambiguity between a function returning a pointer to a void() function
and a function returning void).

No ambiguity means even function pointer return types can just be
written alone, without writing the whole function's type.

This leaves /only/ the varargs case where the explicit type is required.

Given the special type syntax in call instructions, the regex-fu used
for migration was a bit more involved in its own unique way (as every
one of these is) so here it is. Use it in conjunction with the apply.sh
script and associated find/xargs commands I've provided in rr230786 to
migrate your out of tree tests. Do let me know if any of this doesn't
cover your cases & we can iterate on a more general script/regexes to
help others with out of tree tests.

About 9 test cases couldn't be automatically migrated - half of those
were functions returning function pointers, where I just had to manually
delete the function argument types now that we didn't need an explicit
function type there. The other half were typedefs of function types used
in calls - just had to manually drop the * from those.

d92e9ef170 [RewriteStatepointsForGC] Use an actual liveness algorithm
When rewriting statepoints to make relocations explicit, we need to have a conservative but consistent notion of where a particular pointer is live at a particular site. The old code just used dominance, which is correct, but decidedly more conservative then it needed to be. This patch implements a simple dataflow algorithm that's run one per function (well, twice counting fixup after base pointer insertion). There's still lots of room to make this faster, but it's fast enough for all practical purposes today.

Two related small changes:

    Various dominance based queries about liveness can get confused if we're talking about unreachable blocks. To avoid reasoning about such cases, just remove them before rewriting statepoints.
    Remove single entry phis (likely left behind by LCSSA) to reduce the number of live values.

Both of these are motivated by http://reviews.llvm.org/D8674 which will be submitted shortly.

cb148c8541 [RewriteStatepointsForGC] Limited support for vectors of pointers
This patch adds limited support for inserting explicit relocations when there's a vector of pointers live over the statepoint. This doesn't handle the case where the vector contains a mix of base and non-base pointers; that's future work.

The current implementation just scalarizes the vector over the gc.statepoint before doing the explicit rewrite. An alternate approach would be to plumb the vector all the way though the backend lowering, but doing that appears challenging. In particular, the size of the indirect spill slot is currently assumed to be sizeof(pointer) throughout the backend.

In practice, this is enough to allow running the SLP and Loop vectorizers before RewriteStatepointsForGC.

9f3ecd086a [RewriteStatepointsForGC] Fix a relocation bug w.r.t values defined by invoke instructions
RewriteStatepointsForGC pass emits an alloca for each GC pointer which will be relocated. It then inserts stores after def and all relocations, and inserts loads before each use as well. In the end, mem2reg is used to update IR with relocations in SSA form.

However, there is a problem with inserting stores for values defined by invoke instructions. The code didn't expect a def was a terminator instruction, and inserting instructions after these terminators resulted in malformed IR.

This patch fixes this problem by handling invoke instructions as a special case. If the def is an invoke instruction, the store will be inserted at the beginning of the normal destination block. Since return value from invoke instruction does not dominate the unwind destination block, no action is needed there.

It turns out the naming of inserted phis and selects is sensative to the order in which two sets are iterated.  We need to nail this down to avoid non-deterministic output and possible test failures.  

The modified test is the one I first noticed something odd in.  The change is making it more strict to report the error.  With the test change, but without the code change, the test fails roughly 1 in 5.  With the code change, I've run ~30 runs without error.

Long term, the right fix here is to adjust the naming scheme.  I'm checking in this hack to avoid any possible non-determinism in the tests over the weekend.  HJust because I only noticed one case doesn't mean it's actually the only case.  I hope to get to the right change Monday.

a3f59e44cd [RewriteStatepointsForGC] Add tests for the base pointer identification algorithm
These tests cover the 'base object' identification and rewritting portion of RewriteStatepointsForGC.  These aren't completely exhaustive, but they've proven to be reasonable effective over time at finding regressions.

In the process of porting these tests over, I found my first "cleanup per llvm code style standards" bug.  We were relying on the order of iteration when testing the base pointers found for a derived pointer.  When we switched from std::set to DenseSet, this stopped being a safe assumption.  I'm suspecting I'm going to find more of those.  In particular, I'm now really wondering about the main iteration loop for this algorithm.  I need to go take a closer look at the assumptions there.

I'm not really happy with the fact these are testing what is essentially debug output (i.e. enabled via command line flags).  Suggestions for how to structure this better are very welcome.

198d8baafb [opaque pointer type] Add textual IR support for explicit type parameter to getelementptr instruction
One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.

This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.

* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
  handled separately)

* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
  in-memory representation will be in separate changes.

* geps of vectors are transformed as:
    getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
  ->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
  Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
  like:
    getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
  with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.

* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
    getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
  ->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
  Then, eventually:
    getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x

Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by
same crappy python code. I had to manually update a few test cases that
wouldn't fit the script's model (r228970,r229196,r229197,r229198). The
python script just massages stdin and writes the result to stdout, I
then wrapped that in a shell script to handle replacing files, then
using the usual find+xargs to migrate all the files.

From llvm/src/tools/polly:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh

After that, check-all (with llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, lld,
compiler-rt, and polly all checked out).

The extra 'rm' in the apply.sh script is due to a few files in clang's test
suite using interesting unicode stuff that my python script was throwing
exceptions on. None of those files needed to be migrated, so it seemed
sufficient to ignore those cases.

ef6e26ea1f Bugfix for 229954
Before calling Function::getGC to test for enablement, we need to make sure there's actually a GC at all via Function::hasGC.  Otherwise, we'd crash on functions without a GC.  Thankfully, this only mattered if you manually scheduled the pass, but still, oops. :(

e807289468 Adjust enablement of RewriteStatepointsForGC
When back merging the changes in 229945 I noticed that I forgot to mark the test cases with the appropriate GC.  We want the rewriting to be off by default (even when manually added to the pass order), not on-by default.  To keep the current test working, mark them as using the statepoint-example GC and whitelist that GC.  

Longer term, we need a better selection mechanism here for both actual usage and testing.  As I migrate more tests to the in tree version of this pass, I will probably need to update the enable/disable logic as well.

673db11fdb Add a pass for constructing gc.statepoint sequences w/explicit relocations
This patch consists of a single pass whose only purpose is to visit previous inserted gc.statepoints which do not have gc.relocates inserted yet, and insert them. This can be used either immediately after IR generation to perform 'early safepoint insertion' or late in the pass order to perform 'late insertion'.

This patch is setting the stage for work to continue in tree.  In particular, there are known naming and style violations in the current patch.  I'll try to get those resolved over the next week or so.  As I touch each area to make style changes, I need to make sure we have adequate testing in place.  As part of the cleanup, I will be cleaning up a collection of test cases we have out of tree and submitting them upstream. The tests included in this change are very basic and mostly to provide examples of usage.

The pass has several main subproblems it needs to address:
- First, it has identify any live pointers. In the current code, the use of address spaces to distinguish pointers to GC managed objects is hard coded, but this will become parametrizable in the near future.  Note that the current change doesn't actually contain a useful liveness analysis.  It was seperated into a followup change as the code wasn't ready to be shared.  Instead, the current implementation just considers any dominating def of appropriate pointer type to be live.
- Second, it has to identify base pointers for each live pointer. This is a fairly straight forward data flow algorithm. 
- Third, the information in the previous steps is used to actually introduce rewrites. Rather than trying to do this by hand, we simply re-purpose the code behind Mem2Reg to do this for us.
