As mentioned on llvm-dev, this is a new documentation page intended to collect tips for frontend authors on how to generate IR that LLVM is able to optimize well. These types of things come up repeated in review threads and it would be good to have a place to save them.
I added a small handful to start us off, but I mostly want to get the framework in place. Once the docs are here, we can add to them incrementally. If you know of something appropriate for this page, please add it!

Straightforward patch to emit an alignment directive when emitting a
TOC entry. The test case was generated from the test in PR22711 that
demonstrated a misaligned .toc section. The object code is run
through llvm-readobj to verify that the correct alignment has been
applied to the .toc section.
Thanks to Ulrich Weigand for running down where the fix was needed.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)

Summary:
Until now, we did this (among other things) based on whether or not the
target was Windows. This is clearly wrong, not just for Win64 ABI functions
on non-Windows, but for System V ABI functions on Windows, too. In this
change, we make this decision based on the ABI the calling convention
specifies instead.

When using Altivec, we can use vector loads and stores for aligned memcpy and
friends. Starting with the P7 and VXS, we have reasonable unaligned vector
stores. Starting with the P8, we have fast unaligned loads too.
For QPX, we use vector loads are stores, but only for aligned memory accesses.

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.

import fileinput

import re
ibrep = re.compile(r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr inbounds )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")
normrep = re.compile( r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")

return line
for line in sys.stdin:
if line.find("getelementptr ") == line.find("getelementptr inbounds"):
if line.find("getelementptr inbounds") != line.find("getelementptr inbounds ("):
line = conv(re.match(ibrep, line), line)
elif line.find("getelementptr ") != line.find("getelementptr ("):
line = conv(re.match(normrep, line), line)
sys.stdout.write(line)
apply.sh:
for name in "$@"
do
python3 `dirname "$0"`/update.py < "$name" > "$name.tmp" && mv "$name.tmp" "$name"
rm -f "$name.tmp"
done
The actual commands:
From llvm/src:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
From llvm/src/tools/clang:
find test/ -name *.mm -o -name *.m -o -name *.cpp -o -name *.c | xargs -I '{}' ../../apply.sh "{}"
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.

It didn't seem worth leaving behind a guideline to use '= delete' to
make a class uncopyable. That's a well known C++ design pattern.

Summary:
Currently fast-isel-abort will only abort for regular instructions,
and just warn for function calls, terminators, function arguments.
There is already fast-isel-abort-args but nothing for calls and
terminators.
This change turns the fast-isel-abort options into an integer option,
so that multiple levels of strictness can be defined.
This will help no being surprised when the "abort" option indeed does
not abort, and enables the possibility to write test that verifies
that no intrinsics are forgotten by fast-isel.

This removes a bit of duplicated code and more importantly, remembers the
labels so that they don't need to be looked up by name.
This in turn allows for any name to be used and avoids a crash if the name
we wanted was already taken.

The keys of the map are unique by pointer address, so there's no need
to use the llvm::less comparator. This allows us to use DenseMap
instead, which reduces tblgen time by 20% on my stress test.

vectors. This lets us fix the rest of the v16 lowering problems when
pshufb is clearly better.
We might still be able to improve some of the lowerings by enabling the
other combine-based rewriting to fire for non-128-bit vectors, but this
at least should remove any regressions from using the fancy v16i16
lowering strategy.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@230753 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
repeated 128-bit lane shuffles of wider vector types and use it to lower
256-bit v16i16 vector shuffles where applicable.
This should let us perfectly lowering the pattern of pshuflw and pshufhw
even for AVX2 256-bit patterns.
I've not added AVX-512 support, but it should be trivial for someone
working on that to wire up.
Note that currently this generates bad, long shuffle chains because we
don't combine 256-bit target shuffles. The subsequent patches will fix
that.

by mirroring v8i16 test cases across both 128-bit lanes. This should
highlight problems where we aren't correctly using 128-bit shuffles to
implement things.

This is an important step to being able to re-use this logic.

Summary:
We identify the cases where the operand to an ADDE node is a constant
zero. In such cases, we can avoid generating an extra ADDu instruction
disguised as an identity move alias (ie. addu $r, $r, 0 --> move $r, $r).

Currently, the ASan executables built with -O0 are unnecessarily slow.
The main reason is that ASan instrumentation pass inserts redundant
checks around promotable allocas. These allocas do not get instrumented
under -O1 because they get converted to virtual registered by mem2reg.
With this patch, ASan instrumentation pass will only instrument non
promotable allocas, giving us a speedup of 39% on a collection of
benchmarks with -O0. (There is no measurable speedup at -O1.)

This could be a debugging regression in places where we had a

Function pointers were not correctly handled by the dumper, and
they would print as "* name". They now print as
"int (__cdecl *name)(int arg1, int arg2)" as they should.
Also, doubles were being printed as floats. This fixes that bug
as well, and adds tests for all builtin types. as well as a test
for function pointers.
