This is exciting as this is a much more involved port. This is
a complex, existing transformation pass. All of the core logic is shared
between both old and new pass managers. Only the access to the analyses
is separate because the actual techniques are separate. This also uses
a bunch of different and interesting analyses and is the first time
where we need to use an analysis across an IR layer.
This also paves the way to expose instcombine utility functions. I've
got a static function that implements the core pass logic over
a function which might be mildly interesting, but more interesting is
likely exposing a routine which just uses instructions *already in* the
worklist and combines until empty.
I've switched one of my favorite instcombine tests to run with both as
well to make sure this keeps working.

creating a non-internal header file for the InstCombine pass.
I thought about calling this InstCombiner.h or in some way more clearly
associating it with the InstCombiner clas that it is primarily defining,
but there are several other utility interfaces defined within this for
InstCombine. If, in the course of refactoring, those end up moving
elsewhere or going away, it might make more sense to make this the
combiner's header alone.
Naturally, this is a bikeshed to a certain degree, so feel free to lobby
for a different shade of paint if this name just doesn't suit you.

ever stored to always use a legal integer type if one is available.
Regardless of whether this particular type is good or bad, it ensures we
don't get weird differences in generated code (and resulting
performance) from "equivalent" patterns that happen to end up using
a slightly different type.
After some discussion on llvmdev it seems everyone generally likes this
canonicalization. However, there may be some parts of LLVM that handle
it poorly and need to be fixed. I have at least verified that this
doesn't impede GVN and instcombine's store-to-load forwarding powers in
any obvious cases. Subtle cases are exactly what we need te flush out if
they remain.
Also note that this IR pattern should already be hitting LLVM from Clang
at least because it is exactly the IR which would be produced if you
used memcpy to copy a pointer or floating point between memory instead
of a variable.

Because in its primary function pass the combiner is run repeatedly over
the same function until doing so produces no changes, it is essentially
to not re-allocate the worklist. However, as a utility, the more common
pattern would be to put a limited set of instructions in the worklist
rather than the entire function body. That is also the more likely
pattern when used by the new pass manager.
The result is a very light weight combiner that does the visiting with
a separable worklist. This can then be wrapped up in a helper function
for users that want a combiner utility, or as I have here it can be
wrapped up in a pass which manages the iterations used when combining an
entire function's instructions.
Hopefully this removes some of the worst of the interface warts that
became apparant with the last patch here. However, there is clearly more
work. I've again left some FIXMEs for the most egregious. The ones that
stick out to me are the exposure of the worklist and IR builder as
public members, and the use of pointers rather than references. However,
fixing these is likely to be much more mechanical and less interesting
so I didn't want to touch them in this patch.

can pass a function pointer into this for the easy case and we can even
pass a lambda into it in the interesting case in the instruction
combiner.

but this helps pave the way and seems like a better design for the

This creates a small internal pass which runs the InstCombiner over
a function. This is the hard part of porting InstCombine to the new pass
manager, as at this point none of the code in InstCombine has access to
a Pass object any longer.
The resulting interface for the InstCombiner is pretty terrible. I'm not
planning on leaving it that way. The key thing missing is that we need
to separate the worklist from the combiner a touch more. Once that's
done, it should be possible for *any* part of LLVM to just create
a worklist with instructions, populate it, and then combine it until
empty. The pass will just be the (obvious and important) special case of
doing that for an entire function body.
For now, this is the first increment of factoring to make all of this
work.

The most obvious reason why is because eventually I need to separate out

The pass is really just a means of accessing a cached instance of the
TargetLibraryInfo object, and this way we can re-use that object for the
new pass manager as its result.
Lots of delta, but nothing interesting happening here. This is the
common pattern that is developing to allow analyses to live in both the
old and new pass manager -- a wrapper pass in the old pass manager
emulates the separation intrinsic to the new pass manager between the
result and pass for analyses.

While the term "Target" is in the name, it doesn't really have to do
with the LLVM Target library -- this isn't an abstraction which LLVM
targets generally need to implement or extend. It has much more to do
with modeling the various runtime libraries on different OSes and with
different runtime environments. The "target" in this sense is the more
general sense of a target of cross compilation.

This is already handled in general when it is known the
conversion can't lose bits with smaller integer types
casted into wider floating point types.
This pattern happens somewhat often in GPU programs that cast
workitem intrinsics to float, which are often compared with 0.
Specifically handle the special case of compares with zero which
should also be known to not lose information. I had a more general
version of this which allows equality compares if the casted float is
exactly representable in the integer, but I'm not 100% confident that
is always correct.
Also fold cases that aren't integers to true / false.

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 change implements four basic optimizations:
If a relocated value isn't used, it doesn't need to be relocated.
If the value being relocated is null, relocation doesn't change that. (Technically, this might be collector specific. I don't know of one which it doesn't work for though.)
If the value being relocated is undef, the relocation is meaningless.
If the value being relocated was known nonnull, the relocated pointer also isn't null. (Since it points to the same source language object.)
I outlined other planned work in comments.

This patch teaches the instruction combiner how to fold a call to 'insertqi' if
the 'length field' (3rd operand) is set to zero, and if the sum between
field 'length' and 'bit index' (4th operand) is bigger than 64.
From the AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual:
1. If the sum of the bit index + length field is greater than 64, then the
results are undefined;
2. A value of zero in the field length is defined as a length of 64.
This patch improves the existing combining logic for intrinsic 'insertqi'
adding extra checks to address both point 1. and point 2.

patterns.
This is causing Clang to miscompile itself for 32-bit x86 somehow, and likely
also on ARM and PPC. I really don't know how, but reverting now that I've
confirmed this is actually the culprit. I have a reproduction as well and so
should be able to restore this shortly.
This reverts commit r223764.
Original commit log follows:
Teach instcombine to canonicalize "element extraction" from a load of an
integer and "element insertion" into a store of an integer into actual
element extraction, element insertion, and vector loads and stores.
Previously various parts of LLVM (including instcombine itself) would
introduce integer loads and stores into the code as a way of opaquely
loading and storing "bits". In some cases (such as a memcpy of
std::complex<float> object) we will eventually end up using those bits
in non-integer types. In order for SROA to effectively promote the
allocas involved, it splits these "store a bag of bits" integer loads
and stores up into the constituent parts. However, for non-alloca loads
and tsores which remain, it uses integer math to recombine the values
into a large integer to load or store.
All of this would be "fine", except that it forces LLVM to go through
integer math to combine and split up values. While this makes perfect
sense for integers (and in fact is critical for bitfields to end up
lowering efficiently) it is *terrible* for non-integer types, especially
floating point types. We have a much more canonical way of representing
the act of concatenating the bits of two SSA values in LLVM: a vector
and insertelement. This patch teaching InstCombine to use this
representation.
With this patch applied, LLVM will no longer introduce integer math into
the critical path of every loop over std::complex<float> operations such
as those that make up the hot path of ... oh, most HPC code, Eigen, and
any other heavy linear algebra library.
For the record, I looked *extensively* at fixing this in other parts of
the compiler, but it just doesn't work:
- We really do want to canonicalize memcpy and other bit-motion to
integer loads and stores. SSA values are tremendously more powerful
than "copy" intrinsics. Not doing this regresses massive amounts of
LLVM's scalar optimizer.
- We really do need to split up integer loads and stores of this form in
SROA or every memcpy of a trivially copyable struct will prevent SSA
formation of the members of that struct. It essentially turns off
SROA.
- The closest alternative is to actually split the loads and stores when
partitioning with SROA, but this has all of the downsides historically
discussed of splitting up loads and stores -- the wide-store
information is fundamentally lost. We would also see performance
regressions for bitfield-heavy code and other places where the
integers aren't really intended to be split without seemingly
arbitrary logic to treat integers totally differently.
- We *can* effectively fix this in instcombine, so it isn't that hard of
a choice to make IMO.

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

introduce integer loads and stores into the code as a way of opaquely
loading and storing "bits". In some cases (such as a memcpy of
std::complex<float> object) we will eventually end up using those bits
in non-integer types. In order for SROA to effectively promote the
allocas involved, it splits these "store a bag of bits" integer loads
and stores up into the constituent parts. However, for non-alloca loads
and tsores which remain, it uses integer math to recombine the values
into a large integer to load or store.
All of this would be "fine", except that it forces LLVM to go through
integer math to combine and split up values. While this makes perfect
sense for integers (and in fact is critical for bitfields to end up
lowering efficiently) it is *terrible* for non-integer types, especially
floating point types. We have a much more canonical way of representing
the act of concatenating the bits of two SSA values in LLVM: a vector
and insertelement. This patch teaching InstCombine to use this
representation.
With this patch applied, LLVM will no longer introduce integer math into
the critical path of every loop over std::complex<float> operations such
as those that make up the hot path of ... oh, most HPC code, Eigen, and
any other heavy linear algebra library.
For the record, I looked *extensively* at fixing this in other parts of
the compiler, but it just doesn't work:
- We really do want to canonicalize memcpy and other bit-motion to
integer loads and stores. SSA values are tremendously more powerful
than "copy" intrinsics. Not doing this regresses massive amounts of
LLVM's scalar optimizer.
- We really do need to split up integer loads and stores of this form in
SROA or every memcpy of a trivially copyable struct will prevent SSA
formation of the members of that struct. It essentially turns off
SROA.
- The closest alternative is to actually split the loads and stores when
partitioning with SROA, but this has all of the downsides historically
discussed of splitting up loads and stores -- the wide-store
information is fundamentally lost. We would also see performance
regressions for bitfield-heavy code and other places where the
integers aren't really intended to be split without seemingly
arbitrary logic to treat integers totally differently.
- We *can* effectively fix this in instcombine, so it isn't that hard of
a choice to make IMO.
