new one, and add support for running the new pass in that mode and in
that slot of the pass manager. With this the new pass can completely
replace the old one within the pipeline.
The strategy for enabling or disabling the SSAUpdater logic is to do it
by making the requirement of the domtree analysis optional. By default,
it is required and we get the standard mem2reg approach. This is usually
the desired strategy when run in stand-alone situations. Within the
CGSCC pass manager, we disable requiring of the domtree analysis and
consequentially trigger fallback to the SSAUpdater promotion.
In theory this would allow the pass to re-use a domtree if one happened
to be available even when run in a mode that doesn't require it. In
practice, it lets us have a single pass rather than two which was
simpler for me to wrap my head around.
There is a hidden flag to force the use of the SSAUpdater code path for
the purpose of testing. The primary testing strategy is just to run the
existing tests through that path. One notable difference is that it has
custom code to handle lifetime markers, and one of the tests has been
enhanced to exercise that code.
This has survived a bootstrap and the test suite without serious
correctness issues, however my run of the test suite produced *very*
alarming performance numbers. I don't entirely understand or trust them
though, so more investigation is on-going.
To aid my understanding of the performance impact of the new SROA now
that it runs throughout the optimization pipeline, I'm enabling it by
default in this commit, and will disable it again once the LNT bots have
picked up one iteration with it. I want to get those bots (which are
much more stable) to evaluate the impact of the change before I jump to
any conclusions.
NOTE: Several Clang tests will fail because they run -O3 and check the
result's order of output. They'll go back to passing once I disable it
again.

This is essentially a ground up re-think of the SROA pass in LLVM. It
was initially inspired by a few problems with the existing pass:
- It is subject to the bane of my existence in optimizations: arbitrary
thresholds.
- It is overly conservative about which constructs can be split and
promoted.
- The vector value replacement aspect is separated from the splitting
logic, missing many opportunities where splitting and vector value
formation can work together.
- The splitting is entirely based around the underlying type of the
alloca, despite this type often having little to do with the reality
of how that memory is used. This is especially prevelant with unions
and base classes where we tail-pack derived members.
- When splitting fails (often due to the thresholds), the vector value
replacement (again because it is separate) can kick in for
preposterous cases where we simply should have split the value. This
results in forming i1024 and i2048 integer "bit vectors" that
tremendously slow down subsequnet IR optimizations (due to large
APInts) and impede the backend's lowering.
The new design takes an approach that fundamentally is not susceptible
to many of these problems. It is the result of a discusison between
myself and Duncan Sands over IRC about how to premptively avoid these
types of problems and how to do SROA in a more principled way. Since
then, it has evolved and grown, but this remains an important aspect: it
fixes real world problems with the SROA process today.
First, the transform of SROA actually has little to do with replacement.
It has more to do with splitting. The goal is to take an aggregate
alloca and form a composition of scalar allocas which can replace it and
will be most suitable to the eventual replacement by scalar SSA values.
The actual replacement is performed by mem2reg (and in the future
SSAUpdater).
The splitting is divided into four phases. The first phase is an
analysis of the uses of the alloca. This phase recursively walks uses,
building up a dense datastructure representing the ranges of the
alloca's memory actually used and checking for uses which inhibit any
aspects of the transform such as the escape of a pointer.
Once we have a mapping of the ranges of the alloca used by individual
operations, we compute a partitioning of the used ranges. Some uses are
inherently splittable (such as memcpy and memset), while scalar uses are
not splittable. The goal is to build a partitioning that has the minimum
number of splits while placing each unsplittable use in its own
partition. Overlapping unsplittable uses belong to the same partition.
This is the target split of the aggregate alloca, and it maximizes the
number of scalar accesses which become accesses to their own alloca and
candidates for promotion.
Third, we re-walk the uses of the alloca and assign each specific memory
access to all the partitions touched so that we have dense use-lists for
each partition.
Finally, we build a new, smaller alloca for each partition and rewrite
each use of that partition to use the new alloca. During this phase the
pass will also work very hard to transform uses of an alloca into a form
suitable for promotion, including forming vector operations, speculating
loads throguh PHI nodes and selects, etc.
After splitting is complete, each newly refined alloca that is
a candidate for promotion to a scalar SSA value is run through mem2reg.
There are lots of reasonably detailed comments in the source code about
the design and algorithms, and I'm going to be trying to improve them in
subsequent commits to ensure this is well documented, as the new pass is
in many ways more complex than the old one.
Some of this is still a WIP, but the current state is reasonbly stable.
It has passed bootstrap, the nightly test suite, and Duncan has run it
successfully through the ACATS and DragonEgg test suites. That said, it
remains behind a default-off flag until the last few pieces are in
place, and full testing can be done.
Specific areas I'm looking at next:
- Improved comments and some code cleanup from reviews.
- SSAUpdater and enabling this pass inside the CGSCC pass manager.
- Some datastructure tuning and compile-time measurements.
- More aggressive FCA splitting and vector formation.
Many thanks to Duncan Sands for the thorough final review, as well as
Benjamin Kramer for lots of review during the process of writing this
pass, and Daniel Berlin for reviewing the data structures and algorithms
and general theory of the pass. Also, several other people on IRC, over
lunch tables, etc for lots of feedback and advice.

This adds a transformation to SimplifyCFG that attemps to turn switch
instructions into loads from lookup tables. It works on switches that
are only used to initialize one or more phi nodes in a common successor
basic block, for example:
int f(int x) {
switch (x) {
case 0: return 5;
case 1: return 4;
case 2: return -2;
case 5: return 7;
case 6: return 9;
default: return 42;
}
This speeds up the code by removing the hard-to-predict jump, and
reduces code size by removing the code for the jump targets.

This disables malloc-specific optimization when -fno-builtin (or -ffreestanding)
is specified. This has been a problem for a long time but became more severe
with the recent memory builtin improvements.
Since the memory builtin functions are used everywhere, this required passing
TLI in many places. This means that functions that now have an optional TLI
argument, like RecursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadFunctions, won't remove dead
mallocs anymore if the TLI argument is missing. I've updated most passes to do
the right thing.

We give a bonus for every argument because the argument setup is not needed
anymore when the function is inlined. With this patch we interpret byval
arguments as a compact representation of many arguments. The byval argument
setup is implemented in the backend as an inline memcpy, so to model the
cost as accurately as possible we take the number of pointer-sized elements
in the byval argument and give a bonus of 2 instructions for every one of
those. The bonus is capped at 8 elements, which is the number of stores
at which the x86 backend switches from an expanded inline memcpy to a real
memcpy. It would be better to use the real memcpy threshold from the backend,
but it's not available via TargetData.
This change brings the performance of c-ray in line with gcc 4.7. The included
test case tries to reproduce the c-ray problem to catch regressions for this
benchmark early, its performance is dominated by the inline decision of a
specific call.
This only has a small impact on most code, more on x86 and arm than on x86_64
due to the way the ABI works. When building LLVM for x86 it gives a small
inline cost boost to virtually any function using StringRef or STL allocators,
but only a 0.01% increase in overall binary size. The size of gcc compiled by
clang actually shrunk by a couple bytes with this patch applied, but not
significantly.

instsimplify+inline strategy.
The crux of the problem is that instsimplify was reasonably relying on
an invariant that is true within any single function, but is no longer
true mid-inline the way we use it. This invariant is that an argument
pointer != a local (alloca) pointer.
The fix is really light weight though, and allows instsimplify to be
resiliant to these situations: when checking the relation ships to
function arguments, ensure that the argumets come from the same
function. If they come from different functions, then none of these
assumptions hold. All credit to Benjamin Kramer for coming up with this
clever solution to the problem.

Previously, MBP essentially aligned every branch target it could. This

I do not like this fix. It's needed until/unless the meaning of undef

don't have much confidence in the implementation given the difficulty
testing undefined behavior. Worse, this invalidates some of my

The original algorithm only used recursive pair fusion of equal-length
types. This is now extended to allow pairing of any types that share
the same underlying scalar type. Because we would still generally
prefer the 2^n-length types, those are formed first. Then a second
set of iterations form the non-2^n-length types.
Also, a call to SimplifyInstructionsInBlock has been added after each
pairing iteration. This takes care of DCE (and a few other things)
that make the following iterations execute somewhat faster. For the
same reason, some of the simple shuffle-combination cases are now
handled internally.

inverted the logic, resulting in the compacting going down from operators to
operands rather than up from operands to the operators using them, oops. Fix
this, resolving PR12963.

// C - zext(bool) -> bool ? C - 1 : C

if (ZI->getSrcTy()->isIntegerTy(1))
return SelectInst::Create(ZI->getOperand(0), SubOne(C), C);
This ends up forming sext i1 instructions that codegen to terrible code. e.g.
int blah(_Bool x, _Bool y) {
return (x - y) + 1;
}
=>
movzbl %dil, %eax
movzbl %sil, %ecx
shll $31, %ecx
sarl $31, %ecx
leal 1(%rax,%rcx), %eax
ret
Without the rule, llvm now generates:
movzbl %sil, %ecx
movzbl %dil, %eax
incl %eax
subl %ecx, %eax
ret
It also helps with ARM (and pretty much any target that doesn't have a sext i1 :-).
The transformation was done as part of Eli's r75531. He has given the ok to
remove it.

merge all zero-sized alloca's into one, fixing c43204g from the Ada ACATS
conformance testsuite. What happened there was that a variable sized object
was being allocated on the stack, "alloca i8, i32 %size". It was then being
passed to another function, which tested that the address was not null (raising
an exception if it was) then manipulated %size bytes in it (load and/or store).
The optimizers cleverly managed to deduce that %size was zero (congratulations
to them, as it isn't at all obvious), which made the alloca zero size, causing
the optimizers to replace it with null, which then caused the check mentioned
above to fail, and the exception to be raised, wrongly. Note that no loads
and stores were actually being done to the alloca (the loop that does them is
executed %size times, i.e. is not executed), only the not-null address check.

The primary advantage is that loop optimizations will be applied in a
stable order. This helps debugging and unit test creation. It is also
a better overall implementation without pathologically bad performance
on deep functions.
On large functions (llvm-stress --size=200000 | opt -loops)
Before: 0.1263s
After: 0.0225s
On deep functions (after tweaking llvm-stress, thanks Nadav):
Before: 0.2281s
After: 0.0227s
See r158790 for more comments.
The loop tree is now consistently generated in forward order, but loop
passes are applied in reverse order over the program. If we have a
loop optimization that prefers forward order, that can easily be
achieved by adding a different type of LoopPassManager.

- simplifycfg: invoke undef/null -> unreachable
- instcombine: invoke new -> invoke expect(0, 0) (an arbitrary NOOP intrinsic; only done if the allocated memory is unused, of course)
- verifier: allow invoke of intrinsics (to make the previous step work)
