This patch introduces a new mechanism that allows IR modules to co-operatively
build pointer sets corresponding to addresses within a given set of
globals. One particular use case for this is to allow a C++ program to
efficiently verify (at each call site) that a vtable pointer is in the set
of valid vtable pointers for the class or its derived classes. One way of
doing this is for a toolchain component to build, for each class, a bit set
that maps to the memory region allocated for the vtables, such that each 1
bit in the bit set maps to a valid vtable for that class, and lay out the
vtables next to each other, to minimize the total size of the bit sets.
The patch introduces a metadata format for representing pointer sets, an
'@llvm.bitset.test' intrinsic and an LTO lowering pass that lays out the globals
and builds the bitsets, and documents the new feature.

When doing style cleanup, I noticed a minor bug in this code. If we have a pointer that we think is unused after a statepoint and thus doesn't need relocation, we store a null pointer into the alloca we're about to promote. This helps turn a mistake in liveness analysis into an easily debuggable crash. It turned out this code had never been updated to handle invoke statepoints.
There's no test for this. Without a bug in liveness, it appears impossible to make this trigger in a way which is visible in the resulting IR. We might store the null, but when promoting the alloca, there will be no uses and thus nothing to test against. Suggestions on how to test are very welcome.

Starting to update variable naming and types to match LLVM style. This will be an incremental process to minimize the chance of breakage as I work. Step one, rename member variables to LLVM CamelCase and use llvm's ADT. Much more to come.

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. :(

This change addresses a deficiency pointed out in PR22629. To copy from the bug
report:
[from the bug report]
Consider this code:
int f(int x) {
int a[] = {12};
return a[x];
}
GCC knows to optimize this to
movl $12, %eax
ret
The code generated by recent Clang at -O3 is:
movslq %edi, %rax
movl .L_ZZ1fiE1a(,%rax,4), %eax
retq
.L_ZZ1fiE1a:
.long 12 # 0xc
[end from the bug report]
This definitely seems worth fixing. I've also seen this kind of code before (as
the base case of generic vector wrapper templates with one element).
The general idea is to look at the GEP feeding a load or a store, which has
some variable as its first non-zero index, and determine if that index must be
zero (or else an out-of-bounds access would occur). We can do this for allocas
and globals with constant initializers where we know the maximum size of the
underlying object. When we find such a GEP, we create a new one for the memory
access with that first variable index replaced with a constant zero.
Even if we can't eliminate the memory access (and sometimes we can't), it is
still useful because it removes unnecessary indexing calculations.

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.

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.

This is much better than the previous manner of just using
short-curcuiting booleans from:
1. A "naive" efficiency perspective: we do not have to rely on the
compiler to change the short circuiting boolean operations into a
switch.
2. An understanding perspective by making the implicit behavior of
negative predicates explicit.
3. A maintainability perspective through the covered switch flag making
it easy to know where to update code when adding new ARCInstKinds.

This is a function pass that runs the analysis on demand. The analysis
can be initiated by querying the loop access info via LAA::getInfo. It
either returns the cached info or runs the analysis.
Symbolic stride information continues to reside outside of this analysis
pass. We may move it inside later but it's not a priority for me right
now. The idea is that Loop Distribution won't support run-time stride
checking at least initially.
This means that when querying the analysis, symbolic stride information
can be provided optionally. Whether stride information is used can
invalidate the cache entry and rerun the analysis. Note that if the
loop does not have any symbolic stride, the entry should be preserved
across Loop Distribution and LV.
Since currently the only user of the pass is LV, I just check that the
symbolic stride information didn't change when using a cached result.
On the LV side, LoopVectorizationLegality requests the info object
corresponding to the loop from the analysis pass. A large chunk of the
diff is due to LAI becoming a pointer from a reference.
A test will be added as part of the -analyze patch.
Also tested that with AVX, we generate identical assembly output for the
testsuite (including the external testsuite) before and after.

The RCIdentity root ("Reference Count Identity Root") of a value V is a
dominating value U for which retaining or releasing U is equivalent to
retaining or releasing V. In other words, ARC operations on V are
equivalent to ARC operations on U.
This is a useful property to ascertain since we can use this in the ARC
optimizer to make it easier to match up ARC operations by always mapping
ARC operations to RCIdentityRoots instead of pointers themselves. Then
we perform pairing of retains, releases which are applied to the same
RCIdentityRoot.
In general, the two ways that we see RCIdentical values in ObjC are via:
1. PointerCasts
2. Forwarding Calls that return their argument verbatim.
As such in ObjC, two RCIdentical pointers must always point to the same
memory location.
Previously this concept was implicit in the code and various methods
that dealt with this concept were given functional names that did not
conform to any name in the "ARC" model. This often times resulted in
code that was hard for the non-ARC acquanted to understand resulting in
unhappiness and confusion.

blockNeedsPredication is in LoopAccess in order to share it with the
vectorizer. It's a utility needed by LoopAccess not strictly provided
by it but it's a good place to share it. This makes the function static
so that it no longer required to create an LoopAccessInfo instance in
order to access it from LV.

creating LAI much earlier that LV::canVectorizeMemory().
