Gerolf Hoflehner 049a087d3f Suppress inlining when the block address is taken
Inlining functions with block addresses can cause many problem and requires a
rich infrastructure to support including escape analysis.  At this point the
safest approach to address these problems is by blocking inlining from
happening.

Background:
There have been reports on Ruby segmentation faults triggered by inlining
functions with block addresses like

//Ruby code snippet
vm_exec_core() {
    finish_insn_seq_0 = &&INSN_LABEL_finish;
    INSN_LABEL_finish:
      ;
}

This kind of scenario can also happen when LLVM picks a subset of blocks for
inlining, which is the case with the actual code in the Ruby environment.

LLVM suppresses inlining for such functions when there is an indirect branch.
The attached patch does so even when there is no indirect branch.  Note that
user code like above would not make much sense: using the global for jumping
across function boundaries would be illegal.

Why was there a segfault:

In the snipped above the block with the label is recognized as dead So it is
eliminated. Instead of a block address the cloner stores a constant (sic!) into
the global resulting in the segfault (when the global is used in a goto).

Why had it worked in the past then:

By luck. In older versions vm_exec_core was also inlined but the label address
used was the block label address in vm_exec_core.  So the global jump ended up
in the original function rather than in the caller which accidentally happened
to work.

Test case ./tools/clang/test/CodeGen/indirect-goto.c will fail as a result
of this commit.

Analysis Opportunities:

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
