This reverts r218944, which reverted r218714, plus a bug fix.
Description of the bug in r218714 (by Nick)
The original patch forgot to check if the Scale in VariableGEPIndex flipped the
sign of the variable. The BasicAA pass iterates over the instructions in the
order they appear in the function, and so BasicAliasAnalysis::aliasGEP is
called with the variable it first comes across as parameter GEP1. Adding a
%reorder label puts the definition of %a after %b so aliasGEP is called with %b
as the first parameter and %a as the second. aliasGEP later calculates that %a
== %b + 1 - %idxprom where %idxprom >= 0 (if %a was passed as the first
parameter it would calculate %b == %a - 1 + %idxprom where %idxprom >= 0) -
ignoring that %idxprom is scaled by -1 here lead the patch to incorrectly
conclude that %a > %b.
Revised patch by Nick White, thanks! Thanks to Lang to isolating the bug.
Slightly modified by me to add an early exit from the loop and avoid
unnecessary, but expensive, function calls.
Original commit message:
Two related things:
1. Fixes a bug when calculating the offset in GetLinearExpression. The code
previously used zext to extend the offset, so negative offsets were converted
to large positive ones.
2. Enhance aliasGEP to deduce that, if the difference between two GEP
allocations is positive and all the variables that govern the offset are also
positive (i.e. the offset is strictly after the higher base pointer), then
locations that fit in the gap between the two base pointers are NoAlias.

We used to return PartialAlias if *either* variable being queried interacted
with arguments or globals. AFAICT, we can change this to only returning
MayAlias iff *both* variables being queried interacted with arguments or
globals.
Also, adding some basic functionality tests: some basic IPA tests, checking
that we give conservative responses with arguments/globals thrown in the mix,
and ensuring that we trace values through stores and loads.
Note that saying that 'x' interacted with arguments or globals means that the
Attributes of the StratifiedSet that 'x' belongs to has any bits set.

argument of the llvm.dbg.declare/llvm.dbg.value intrinsics.
Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.
The new intrinsics look like this:
declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect
and pretty-print DIExpression metadata nodes.
What this patch doesn't do:
This patch does not touch the "Indirect" field in DIVariable; but moving
that into the expression would be a natural next step.

The default implementation of getCmpSelInstrCost, which provides the cost of
icmp/fcmp/select instructions, did not deal sensibly with illegal vector types
that were scalarized. We'd ask for the legalization cost of the vector type,
which would return something like (4, f64) given an input of <4 x double>, and
we'd then check the TLI status of the ISD opcode on that scalar type. This would
result in querying (ISD::VSELECT, f64), for example. Amusingly enough,
ISD::VSELECT on scalar types is marked as Legal by default (as with most other
operations), and most backends never change this because VSELECT is never
generated on scalars. However, seeing the resulting operation as Legal, we'd
neglect to add the scalarization cost before returning. The result is that we'd
grossly under-estimate the cost of cmps/selects on illegal vector types.
Now, if type legalization clearly results in scalarization, we skip the early
return and add the scalarization cost.

This provides an implementation of CFL alias analysis (including some
supporting data structures). Currently, we don't have any extremely fancy
features, sans some interprocedural analysis (i.e. no field sensitivity, etc.),
and we do best sitting behind BasicAA + TBAA. In such a configuration, we take
~0.6-0.8% of total compile time, and give ~7-8% NoAlias responses to queries
TBAA and BasicAA couldn't answer when bootstrapping LLVM. In testing this on
other projects, we've seen up to 10.5% of queries dropped by BasicAA+TBAA
answered with NoAlias by this algorithm.

This is the first commit in a series that add an @llvm.assume intrinsic which
can be used to provide the optimizer with a condition it may assume to be true
(when the control flow would hit the intrinsic call). Some basic properties are added here:
- llvm.invariant(true) is dead.
- llvm.invariant(false) is unreachable (this directly corresponds to the
documented behavior of MSVC's __assume(0)), so is llvm.invariant(undef).
The intrinsic is tagged as writing arbitrarily, in order to maintain control
dependencies. BasicAA has been updated, however, to return NoModRef for any
particular location-based query so that we don't unnecessarily block code
motion.

This functionality is currently turned off by default.
Part of the motivation for introducing scoped-noalias metadata is to enable the
preservation of noalias parameter attribute information after inlining.
Sometimes this can be inferred from the code in the caller after inlining, but
often we simply lose valuable information.
The overall process if fairly simple:
1. Create a new unqiue scope domain.
2. For each (used) noalias parameter, create a new alias scope.
3. For each pointer, collect the underlying objects. Add a noalias scope for
each noalias parameter from which we're not derived (and has not been
captured prior to that point).
4. Add an alias.scope for each noalias parameter from which we might be
derived (or has been captured before that point).
Note that the capture checks apply only if one of the underlying objects is not
an identified function-local object.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@213949 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
In the process of fixing the noalias parameter -> metadata conversion process
that will take place during inlining (which will be committed soon, but not
turned on by default), I have come to realize that the semantics provided by
yesterday's commit are not really what we want. Here's why:
void foo(noalias a, noalias b, noalias c, bool x) {
*q = x ? a : b;
*c = *q;
}
Generically, we know that *c does not alias with *a and with *b (so there is an
'and' in what we know we're not), and we know that *q might be derived from *a
or from *b (so there is an 'or' in what we know that we are). So we do not want
the semantics currently, where any noalias scope matching any alias.scope
causes a NoAlias return. What we want to know is that the noalias scopes form a
superset of the alias.scope list (meaning that all the things we know we're not
is a superset of all of things the other instruction might be).
Making that change, however, introduces a composibility problem. If we inline
once, adding the noalias metadata, and then inline again adding more, and we
append new scopes onto the noalias and alias.scope lists each time. But, this
means that we could change what was a NoAlias result previously into a MayAlias
result because we appended an additional scope onto one of the alias.scope
lists. So, instead of giving scopes the ability to have parents (which I had
borrowed from the TBAA implementation, but seems increasingly unlikely to be
useful in practice), I've given them domains. The subset/superset condition now
applies within each domain independently, and we only need it to hold in one
domain. Each time we inline, we add the new scopes in a new scope domain, and
everything now composes nicely. In addition, this simplifies the
implementation.

This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this
feature are:
1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining
2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers
Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary
infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality,
only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function
parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit.
What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access
sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA
nodes:
!scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" }
!scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 }
!scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 }
!scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 }
!scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 }
Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a
noalias tag for a specific scope:
... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }
When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with
the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the
noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory
accesses are assumed not to alias.
Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can
be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced
by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers.
[Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need
to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global
unnamed metadata.]
Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code.
This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site
(because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For
example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets
inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } --
now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site,
and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining
these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2.

In order to enable the preservation of noalias function parameter information
after inlining, and the representation of block-level __restrict__ pointer
information (etc.), additional kinds of aliasing metadata will be introduced.
This metadata needs to be carried around in AliasAnalysis::Location objects
(and MMOs at the SDAG level), and so we need to generalize the current scheme
(which is hard-coded to just one TBAA MDNode*).
This commit introduces only the necessary refactoring to allow for the
introduction of other aliasing metadata types, but does not actually introduce
any (that will come in a follow-up commit). What it does introduce is a new
AAMDNodes structure to hold all of the aliasing metadata nodes associated with
a particular memory-accessing instruction, and uses that structure instead of
the raw MDNode* in AliasAnalysis::Location, etc.
No functionality change intended.

This reverts, "r213024 - Revert r212572 "improve BasicAA CS-CS queries", it
causes PR20303." with a fix for the bug in pr20303. As it turned out, the
relevant code was both wrong and over-conservative (because, as with the code
it replaced, it would return the overall ModRef mask even if just Ref had been
implied by the argument aliasing results). Hopefully, this correctly fixes both
problems.
Thanks to Nick Lewycky for reducing the test case for pr20303 (which I've
cleaned up a little and added in DSE's test directory). The BasicAA test has
also been updated to check for this error.
Original commit message:
BasicAA contains knowledge of certain intrinsics, such as memcpy and memset,
and uses that information to form more-accurate answers to CallSite vs. Loc
ModRef queries. Unfortunately, it did not use this information when answering
CallSite vs. CallSite queries.
Generically, when an intrinsic takes one or more pointers and the intrinsic is
marked only to read/write from its arguments, the offset/size is unknown. As a
result, the generic code that answers CallSite vs. CallSite (and CallSite vs.
Loc) queries in AA uses UnknownSize when forming Locs from an intrinsic's
arguments. While BasicAA's CallSite vs. Loc override could use more-accurate
size information for some intrinsics, it did not do the same for CallSite vs.
CallSite queries.
This change refactors the intrinsic-specific logic in BasicAA into a generic AA
query function: getArgLocation, which is overridden by BasicAA to supply the
intrinsic-specific knowledge, and used by AA's generic implementation. This
allows the intrinsic-specific knowledge to be used by both CallSite vs. Loc and
CallSite vs. CallSite queries, and simplifies the BasicAA implementation.
Currently, only one function, Mac's memset_pattern16, is handled by BasicAA
(all the rest are intrinsics). As a side-effect of this refactoring, BasicAA's
getModRefBehavior override now also returns OnlyAccessesArgumentPointees for
this function (which is an improvement).

This patch:
1) Improves the cost model for x86 alternate shuffles (originally
added at revision 211339);
2) Teaches the Cost Model Analysis pass how to analyze alternate shuffles.
Alternate shuffles are a special kind of blend; on x86, we can often
easily lowered alternate shuffled into single blend
instruction (depending on the subtarget features).
The existing cost model didn't take into account subtarget features.
Also, it had a couple of "dead" entries for vector types that are never
legal (example: on x86 types v2i32 and v2f32 are not legal; those are
always either promoted or widened to 128-bit vector types).
The new x86 cost model takes into account what target features we have
before returning the shuffle cost (i.e. the number of instructions
after the blend is lowered/expanded).
This patch also teaches the Cost Model Analysis how to identify and analyze
alternate shuffles (i.e. 'SK_Alternate' shufflevector instructions):
- added function 'isAlternateVectorMask';
- added some logic to check if an instruction is a alternate shuffle and, in
case, call the target specific TTI to get the corresponding shuffle cost;
- added a test to verify the cost model analysis on alternate shuffles.

Before, we where looking at the size of the pointer type that specifies the
location from which to load the element. This did not make any sense at all.

certain load instructions.

The delinearization is needed only to remove the non linearity induced by
expressions involving multiplications of parameters and induction variables.
There is no problem in dealing with constant times parameters, or constant times
an induction variable.
For this reason, the current patch discards all constant terms and multipliers
before running the delinearization algorithm on the terms. The only thing
remaining in the term expressions are parameters and multiply expressions of
parameters: these simplified term expressions are passed to the array shape
recognizer that will not recognize constant dimensions anymore: these will be
recognized as different strides in parametric subscripts.
The only important special case of a constant dimension is the size of elements.
Instead of relying on the delinearization to infer the size of an element,
compute the element size from the base address type. This is a much more precise
way of computing the element size than before, as we would have mixed together
the size of an element with the strides of the innermost dimension.

"ARM64" test directories are also moved, and tests that began their

This has to do with the trip count computation for loops with multiple
exits, which is quite subtle. Most passes just ask for a single trip
count number, so we must be conservative assuming any exit could be
taken. Normally, we rely on the "exact" trip count, which was
correctly given as "unknown". However, SCEV also gives a "max"
back-edge taken count. The loops max BE taken count is conservatively
a maximum over the max of each exit's non-exiting iterations
count. Note that some exit tests can be skipped so the max loop
back-edge taken count can actually exceed the max non-exiting
iterations for some exits. However, when we know the loop *latch*
cannot be skipped, we can directly use its max taken count
disregarding other exits. I previously took the minimum here without
checking whether the other exit could be skipped. The correct, and
simpler thing to do here is just to directly use the loop latch's max
non-exiting iterations as the loops max back-edge count.
In the problematic test case, the first loop exit had a max of zero
non-exiting iterations, but could be skipped. The loop latch was known
not to be skipped but had max of one non-exiting iteration. We
incorrectly claimed the loop back-edge could be taken zero times, when
it is actually taken one time.
Fixes Loop %for.body.i: <multiple exits> Unpredictable backedge-taken count.
Loop %for.body.i: max backedge-taken count is 1.

To compute the dimensions of the array in a unique way, we split the
delinearization analysis in three steps:
- find parametric terms in all memory access functions
- compute the array dimensions from the set of terms
- compute the delinearized access functions for each dimension
The first step is executed on all the memory access functions such that we
gather all the patterns in which an array is accessed. The second step reduces
all this information in a unique description of the sizes of the array. The
third step is delinearizing each memory access function following the common
description of the shape of the array computed in step 2.
This rewrite of the delinearization pass also solves a problem we had with the
previous implementation: because the previous algorithm was by induction on the
structure of the SCEV, it would not correctly recognize the shape of the array
when the memory access was not following the nesting of the loops: for example,
see polly/test/ScopInfo/multidim_only_ivs_3d_reverse.ll
; void foo(long n, long m, long o, double A[n][m][o]) {
;
; for (long i = 0; i < n; i++)
; for (long j = 0; j < m; j++)
; for (long k = 0; k < o; k++)
; A[i][k][j] = 1.0;
Starting with this patch we no longer delinearize access functions that do not
contain parameters, for example in test/Analysis/DependenceAnalysis/GCD.ll
;; for (long int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
;; for (long int j = 0; j < 100; j++) {
;; A[2*i - 4*j] = i;
;; *B++ = A[6*i + 8*j];
these accesses will not be delinearized as the upper bound of the loops are
constants, and their access functions do not contain SCEVUnknown parameters.

irreducible SCCs are discovered on the fly, and modelled as loops with
multiple headers.
This approximation specifies the headers of irreducible sub-SCCs as its
entry blocks and all nodes that are targets of a backedge within it
(excluding backedges within true sub-loops). Block frequency
calculations act as if we insert a new block that intercepts all the
edges to the headers. All backedges and entries to the irreducible SCC
point to this imaginary block. This imaginary block has an edge (with
even probability) to each header block.
The result is now reasonable enough that I've added a number of
testcases for irreducible control flow. I've outlined in
`BlockFrequencyInfoImpl.h` ways to improve the approximation.

Remove the concepts of "forward" and "general" mass distributions, which
was wrong. The split might have made sense in an early version of the
algorithm, but it's definitely wrong now.

Strip irreducible testcases to pure control flow. The function calls
made the branch weights more believable but cluttered it up a lot.
There isn't going to be any constant analysis here, so just use dumb
branch logic to clarify the important parts.

The branch that skips irreducible backedges was only active when
propagating mass at the top-level. In particular, when propagating mass
through a loop recognized by `LoopInfo` with irreducible control flow
inside, irreducible backedges would not be skipped.
Not sure where that idea came from, but the result was that mass was
lost until after loop exit. Added a testcase that covers this case.

This reverts commit r206707, reapplying r206704. The preceding commit
to CalcSpillWeights should have sorted out the failing buildbots.

This reverts commit r206677, reapplying my BlockFrequencyInfo rewrite.
I've done a careful audit, added some asserts, and fixed a couple of
bugs (unfortunately, they were in unlikely code paths). There's a small
chance that this will appease the failing bots [1][2]. (If so, great!)
If not, I have a follow-up commit ready that will temporarily add
-debug-only=block-freq to the two failing tests, allowing me to compare
the code path between what the failing bots and what my machines (and
the rest of the bots) are doing. Once I've triggered those builds, I'll
revert both commits so the bots go green again.

This reverts commit r206666, as planned.
Still stumped on why the bots are failing. Sanitizer bots haven't
turned anything up. If anyone can help me debug either of the failures
(referenced in r206666) I'll owe them a beer. (In the meantime, I'll be
auditing my patch for undefined behaviour.)
