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.

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.

We previously supported the align attribute on all (pointer) parameters, but we
only used it for byval parameters. However, it is completely consistent at the
IR level to treat 'align n' on all pointer parameters as an alignment
assumption on the pointer, and now we wll. Specifically, this causes
computeKnownBits to use the align attribute on all pointer parameters, not just
byval parameters. I've also added an explicit parameter attribute test for this
to test/Bitcode/attributes.ll.
And I've updated the LangRef to document the align parameter attribute (as it
turns out, it was not documented at all previously, although the byval
documentation mentioned that it could be used).
There are (at least) two benefits to doing this:
- It allows enhancing alignment based on the pointer alignment after inlining callees.
- It allows simplification of pointer arithmetic.

to globally be controlled. Individual targets (e.g. ExceptionDemo) can
still override this by using LLVM_REQUIRE_RTTI and LLVM_REQUIRE_EH if
they need to be compiled with RTTI or exception handling respectively.

- When CMake builds the documentation with sphinx-build it treats
warnings as errors. We should be consistent with what we do in
CMake.
- Having warnings treated as errors will hopefully encourage
developers to write documentation correctly.

This attribute indicates that the parameter or return pointer is
dereferenceable. Practically speaking, loads from such a pointer within the
associated byte range are safe to speculatively execute. Such pointer
parameters are common in source languages (C++ references, for example).

Convert the operand to int if possible, i.e. if the value is properly
initialized. (I suppose there is further room for improvement here to also
peform the shift if the uninitialized bits are shifted out.)
With this little change we can now compute the scaling factor for compressed
displacement with pure tablegen code in the X86 backend. This is useful
because both the X86-disassembler-specific part of tablegen and the assembler
need this and TD is the natural sharing place.
The patch also adds the missing documentation for the shift and add operator.

This makes the two intrinsics @llvm.convert.from.f16 and
@llvm.convert.to.f16 accept types other than simple "float". This is
only strictly needed for the truncate operation, since otherwise
double rounding occurs and there's no way to represent the strict IEEE
conversion. However, for symmetry we allow larger types in the extend
too.
During legalization, we can expand an "fp16_to_double" operation into
two extends for convenience, but abort when the truncate isn't legal. A new
libcall is probably needed here.
Even after this commit, various target tweaks are needed to actually use the
extended intrinsics. I've put these into separate commits for clarity, so there
are no actual tests of f64 conversion here.

Actually update the changed indexes in the map portion of `MapVector`
when erasing from the middle. Add a unit test that checks for this.
Note that `MapVector::erase()` is a linear time operation (it was and
still is). I'll commit a new method in a moment called
`MapVector::remove_if()` that deletes multiple entries in linear time,
which should be slightly less painful.

Summary:
Add FileCheck -implicit-check-not option which allows specifying a
pattern that should only occur in the input when explicitly matched by a
positive check. This feature allows checking tool diagnostics in a way
clang -verify does it for compiler diagnostics.
The option has been tested on a number of clang-tidy checks, I'll post a link to
the clang-tidy patch to this thread.
Once there's an agreement on the general direction, I can add tests and
documentation.

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.

[LLVM part]
These patches rename the loop unrolling and loop vectorizer metadata
such that they have a common 'llvm.loop.' prefix. Metadata name
changes:
llvm.vectorizer.* => llvm.loop.vectorizer.*
llvm.loopunroll.* => llvm.loop.unroll.*
This was a suggestion from an earlier review
(http://reviews.llvm.org/D4090) which added the loop unrolling
metadata.
