The "null-pointer-is-valid" attribute needs to be checked by many
pointer-related combines. To make the check more efficient, convert
it from a string into an enum attribute.
In the future, this attribute may be replaced with data layout
properties.

InstCombine operates on the basic premise that the operands of the
currently processed instruction have already been simplified. It
achieves this by pushing instructions to the worklist in reverse
program order, so that instructions are popped off in program order.
The worklist management in the main combining loop also makes sure
to uphold this invariant.
However, the same is not true for all the code that is performing
manual worklist management. The largest problem (addressed in this
patch) are instructions inserted by InstCombine's IRBuilder. These
will be pushed onto the worklist in order of insertion (generally
matching program order), which means that a) the users of the
original instruction will be visited first, as they are pushed later
in the main loop and b) the newly inserted instructions will be
visited in reverse program order.
This causes a number of problems: First, folds operate on instructions
that have not had their operands simplified, which may result in
optimizations being missed (ran into this in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D72048#1800424, which was the original
motivation for this patch). Additionally, this increases the amount
of folds InstCombine has to perform, both within one iteration, and
by increasing the number of total iterations.
This patch addresses the issue by adding a Worklist.AddDeferred()
method, which is used for instructions inserted by IRBuilder. These
will only be added to the real worklist after the combine finished,
and in reverse order, so they will end up processed in program order.
I should note that the same should also be done to nearly all other
uses of Worklist.Add(), but I'm starting with just this occurrence,
which has by far the largest test fallout.
Most of the test changes are due to
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44521 or other cases where
we don't canonicalize something. These are neutral. One regression
has been addressed in D73575 and D73647. The remaining regression
in an shl+sdiv fold can't really be fixed without dropping another
transform, but does not seem particularly problematic in the first
place.

Don't try to canonicalize loads to scalable vector types to loads
of integers.
This removes one assertion when trying to use a TypeSize as a parameter
to DataLayout::isLegalInteger. It does not handle the second part of the
function (which looks at bitcasts).
This patch also contains a NFC fix for Load Analysis, where a variable
initialization that would cause the same assertion is moved closer to
its use. This allows us to run the new test for InstCombine without
having to teach LocationSize to play nicely with scalable vectors.

Summary:
Support for this option is needed for building Linux kernel.
This is a very frequently requested feature by kernel developers.
More details : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/4/601
GCC option description for -fdelete-null-pointer-checks:
This Assume that programs cannot safely dereference null pointers,
and that no code or data element resides at address zero.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks is the inverse of this implying that
null pointer dereferencing is not undefined.
This feature is implemented in LLVM IR in this CL as the function attribute
"null-pointer-is-valid"="true" in IR (Under review at D47894).
The CL updates several passes that assumed null pointer dereferencing is
undefined to not optimize when the "null-pointer-is-valid"="true"
attribute is present.

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.
update.py:
import fileinput
import sys
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]|\{\{).*$))")

The actual commands:
From llvm/src:

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.

This is exciting as this is a much more involved port. This is
a complex, existing transformation pass. All of the core logic is shared
between both old and new pass managers. Only the access to the analyses
is separate because the actual techniques are separate. This also uses
a bunch of different and interesting analyses and is the first time
where we need to use an analysis across an IR layer.
This also paves the way to expose instcombine utility functions. I've
got a static function that implements the core pass logic over
a function which might be mildly interesting, but more interesting is
likely exposing a routine which just uses instructions *already in* the
worklist and combines until empty.
I've switched one of my favorite instcombine tests to run with both as
well to make sure this keeps working.

ever stored to always use a legal integer type if one is available.
Regardless of whether this particular type is good or bad, it ensures we
don't get weird differences in generated code (and resulting
performance) from "equivalent" patterns that happen to end up using
a slightly different type.
After some discussion on llvmdev it seems everyone generally likes this
canonicalization. However, there may be some parts of LLVM that handle
it poorly and need to be fixed. I have at least verified that this
doesn't impede GVN and instcombine's store-to-load forwarding powers in
any obvious cases. Subtle cases are exactly what we need te flush out if
they remain.
Also note that this IR pattern should already be hitting LLVM from Clang
at least because it is exactly the IR which would be produced if you
used memcpy to copy a pointer or floating point between memory instead
of a variable.

The original code had an implicit assumption that if the test for
allocas or globals was reached, the two pointers were not equal. With my
changes to make the pointer analysis more powerful here, I also had to
guard against circumstances where the results weren't useful. That in
turn violated the assumption and gave rise to a circumstance in which we
could have a store with both the queried pointer and stored pointer
rooted at *the same* alloca. Clearly, we cannot ignore such a store.
There are other things we might do in this code to better handle the
case of both pointers ending up at the same alloca or global, but it
seems best to at least make the test explicit in what it intends to
check.
I've added tests for both the alloca and global case here.

by my refactoring of this code.
The method isSafeToLoadUnconditionally assumes that the load will
proceed with the preferred type alignment. Given that, it has to ensure
that the alloca or global is at least that aligned. It has always done
this historically when a datalayout is present, but has never checked it
when the datalayout is absent. When I refactored the code in r220156,
I exposed this path when datalayout was present and that turned the
latent bug into a patent bug.
This fixes the issue by just removing the special case which allows
folding things without datalayout. This isn't worth the complexity of
trying to tease apart when it is or isn't safe without actually knowing
the preferred alignment.

to find opportunities for store-to-load forwarding or load CSE,
in the same way that visitStore scans back to do DSE. Also, define
a new helper function for testing whether the addresses of two
memory accesses are known to have the same value, and use it in
both visitStore and visitLoad.
These two changes allow instcombine to eliminate loads in code
produced by front-ends that frequently emit obviously redundant
addressing for memory references.
