This change, which allows @llvm.assume to be used from within computeKnownBits
(and other associated functions in ValueTracking), adds some (optional)
parameters to computeKnownBits and friends. These functions now (optionally)
take a "context" instruction pointer, an AssumptionTracker pointer, and also a
DomTree pointer, and most of the changes are just to pass this new information
when it is easily available from InstSimplify, InstCombine, etc.
As explained below, the significant conceptual change is that known properties
of a value might depend on the control-flow location of the use (because we
care that the @llvm.assume dominates the use because assumptions have
control-flow dependencies). This means that, when we ask if bits are known in a
value, we might get different answers for different uses.
The significant changes are all in ValueTracking. Two main changes: First, as
with the rest of the code, new parameters need to be passed around. To make
this easier, I grouped them into a structure, and I made internal static
versions of the relevant functions that take this structure as a parameter. The
new code does as you might expect, it looks for @llvm.assume calls that make
use of the value we're trying to learn something about (often indirectly),
attempts to pattern match that expression, and uses the result if successful.
By making use of the AssumptionTracker, the process of finding @llvm.assume
calls is not expensive.
Part of the structure being passed around inside ValueTracking is a set of
already-considered @llvm.assume calls. This is to prevent a query using, for
example, the assume(a == b), to recurse on itself. The context and DT params
are used to find applicable assumptions. An assumption needs to dominate the
context instruction, or come after it deterministically. In this latter case we
only handle the specific case where both the assumption and the context
instruction are in the same block, and we need to exclude assumptions from
being used to simplify their own ephemeral values (those which contribute only
to the assumption) because otherwise the assumption would prove its feeding
comparison trivial and would be removed.
This commit adds the plumbing and the logic for a simple masked-bit propagation
(just enough to write a regression test). Future commits add more patterns
(and, correspondingly, more regression tests).

This adds an immutable pass, AssumptionTracker, which keeps a cache of
@llvm.assume call instructions within a module. It uses callback value handles
to keep stale functions and intrinsics out of the map, and it relies on any
code that creates new @llvm.assume calls to notify it of the new instructions.
The benefit is that code needing to find @llvm.assume intrinsics can do so
directly, without scanning the function, thus allowing the cost of @llvm.assume
handling to be negligible when none are present.
The current design is intended to be lightweight. We don't keep track of
anything until we need a list of assumptions in some function. The first time
this happens, we scan the function. After that, we add/remove @llvm.assume
calls from the cache in response to registration calls and ValueHandle
callbacks.
There are no new direct test cases for this pass, but because it calls it
validation function upon module finalization, we'll pick up detectable
inconsistencies from the other tests that touch @llvm.assume calls.
This pass will be used by follow-up commits that make use of @llvm.assume.

This feeds AA through the IFI structure into the inliner so that
AddAliasScopeMetadata can use AA->getModRefBehavior to figure out which
functions only access their arguments (instead of just hard-coding some
knowledge of memory intrinsics). Most of the information is only available from
BasicAA; this is important for preserving alias scoping information for
target-specific intrinsics when doing the noalias parameter attribute to
metadata conversion.

I thought that I had fixed this problem in r216818, but I did not do a very
good job. The underlying issue is that when we add alias.scope metadata we are
asserting that this metadata completely describes the aliasing relationships
within the current aliasing scope domain, and so in the context of translating
noalias argument attributes, the pointers must all be based on noalias
arguments (as underlying objects) and have no other kind of underlying object.
In r216818 excluding appropriate accesses from getting alias.scope metadata is
done by looking for underlying objects that are not identified function-local
objects -- but that's wrong because allocas, etc. are also function-local
objects and we need to explicitly check that all underlying objects are the
noalias arguments for which we're adding metadata aliasing scopes.
This fixes the underlying-object check for adding alias.scope metadata, and
does some refactoring of the related capture-checking eligibility logic (and
adds more comments; hopefully making everything a bit clearer).
Fixes self-hosting on x86_64 with -mllvm -enable-noalias-to-md-conversion (the
feature is still disabled by default).

The previous implementation of AddAliasScopeMetadata, which adds noalias
metadata to preserve noalias parameter attribute information when inlining had
a flaw: it would add alias.scope metadata to accesses which might have been
derived from pointers other than noalias function parameters. This was
incorrect because even some access known not to alias with all noalias function
parameters could easily alias with an access derived from some other pointer.
Instead, when deriving from some unknown pointer, we cannot add alias.scope
metadata at all. This fixes a miscompile of the test-suite's tramp3d-v4.
Furthermore, we cannot add alias.scope to functions unless we know they
access only argument-derived pointers (currently, we know this only for
memory intrinsics).
Also, we fix a theoretical problem with using the NoCapture attribute to skip
the capture check. This is incorrect (as explained in the comment added), but
would not matter in any code generated by Clang because we get only inferred
nocapture attributes in Clang-generated IR.
This functionality is not yet enabled by default.

When a call site with noalias metadata is inlined, that metadata can be
propagated directly to the inlined instructions (only those that might access
memory because it is not useful on the others). Prior to inlining, the noalias
metadata could express that a call would not alias with some other memory
access, which implies that no instruction within that called function would
alias. By propagating the metadata to the inlined instructions, we preserve
that knowledge.
This should complete the enhancements requested in PR20500.
llvm-svn: 215676
When preserving noalias function parameter attributes by adding noalias
metadata in the inliner, we should do this for general function calls (not just
memory intrinsics). The logic is very similar to what already existed (except
that we want to add this metadata even for functions taking no relevant
parameters). This metadata can be used by ModRef queries in the caller after
inlining.
This addresses the first part of PR20500. Adding noalias metadata during
inlining is still turned off by default.

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.

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.

This both improves basic debug info quality, but also fixes a larger
hole whenever we inline a call/invoke without a location (debug info for
the entire inlining is lost and other badness that the debug info
emission code is currently working around but shouldn't have to).

Instructions from __nodebug__ functions don't have file:line
information even when inlined into no-nodebug functions. As a result,
intrinsics (SSE and other) from <*intrin.h> clang headers _never_
have file:line information.
With this change, an instruction without !dbg metadata gets one from
the call instruction when inlined.
Fixes PR19001.

The interesting case is what happens when you inline a musttail call
through a musttail call site. In this case, we can't break perfect
forwarding or allow any stack growth.
Instead of merging control flow from the inlined return instruction
after a musttail call into the body of the caller, leave the inlined
return instruction in the caller so that the musttail call stays in the
tail position.
More work is required in http://reviews.llvm.org/D3630 to handle the
case where the inlined function has dynamic allocas or byval arguments.
