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 function writes out the current values of the counters and then resets
them. This can be used similarly to the __gcov_flush function to sync the
counters when need be. For instance, in a situation where the application
doesn't exit.

a pair of switch/branch where both depend on the value of the same variable and
the default case of the first switch/branch goes to the second switch/branch.
Code clean up and fixed a few issues:
1> handling the case where some cases of the 2nd switch are invalidated
2> correctly calculate the weight for the 2nd switch when it is a conditional eq
Testing case is modified from Alastair's original patch.

The lookup tables did not get built in a deterministic order.
This makes them get built in the order that the corresponding phi nodes
were found.

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.

- CodeGenPrepare pass for identifying div/rem ops
- Backend specifies the type mapping using addBypassSlowDivType
- Enabled only for Intel Atom with O2 32-bit -> 8-bit
- Replace IDIV with instructions which test its value and use DIVB if the value
is positive and less than 256.
- In the case when the quotient and remainder of a divide are used a DIV
and a REM instruction will be present in the IR. In the non-Atom case
they are both lowered to IDIVs and CSE removes the redundant IDIV instruction,
using the quotient and remainder from the first IDIV. However,
due to this optimization CSE is not able to eliminate redundant
IDIV instructions because they are located in different basic blocks.
This is overcome by calculating both the quotient (DIV) and remainder (REM)
in each basic block that is inserted by the optimization and reusing the result
values when a subsequent DIV or REM instruction uses the same operands.
- Test cases check for the presents of the optimization when calculating
either the quotient, remainder, or both.

We update until we hit a fixpoint. This is probably slow but also
slightly simplifies the code. It should also fix the occasional
invalid domtrees observed when building with expensive checking.
I couldn't find a case where this had a measurable slowdown, but
if someone finds a pathological case where it does we may have
to find a cleverer way of updating dominators here.
Thanks to Duncan for the test case.

The old PHI updating code in loop-rotate was replaced with SSAUpdater a while
ago, it has no problems with comples PHIs. What had to be fixed is detecting
whether a loop was already rotated and updating dominators when multiple exits
were present.
This change increases overall code size a bit, mostly due to additional loop
unrolling opportunities. Passes test-suite and selfhost with -verify-dom-info.
Fixes PR7447.

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.
Fixes PR13694 and probably others.

This feature could also be implemented by splitting critical edges, but at least
with the current algorithm reasoning about the dominance directly is faster.

The "findUsedStructTypes" method is very expensive to run. It needs to be
