If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.
This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)
Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

In general, memory restrictions on a called function (e.g. readnone)
cannot be transferred to a CallSite that has operand bundles. It is
possible to make this inference smarter, but lets fix the behavior to be
correct first.

Teach LLVM optimize to more precisely in the presence of "deopt" operand
bundles. "deopt" operand bundles imply that the call they're attached
to is at least `readonly` (i.e. they don't imply clobber semantics), and
they don't capture their bundle operands.

Summary:
Teach the FunctionAttrs to do the right thing for IR with operand
bundles.

Summary:
Earlier CaptureTracking would assume all "interesting" operands to a
call or invoke were its arguments. With operand bundles this is no
longer true.
Note: an earlier change got `doesNotCapture` working correctly with
operand bundles.
This change uses DSE to test the changes to CaptureTracking. DSE is a
vehicle for testing only, and is not directly involved in this change.

Summary:
This change teaches the LLVM inliner to not inline through callsites
with unknown operand bundles. Currently all operand bundles are
"unknown" operand bundles but in the near future we will add support for
inlining through some select kinds of operand bundles.

Summary:
If a `CallSite` has operand bundles, then do not peek into the called
function to get a more precise `ModRef` answer.
This is tested using `argmemonly`, `-basicaa` and `-gvn`; but the
functionality is not specific to any of these.

Summary:
This makes attribute accessors on `CallInst` and `InvokeInst` do the
(conservatively) right thing. This essentially involves, in some
cases, *not* falling back querying the attributes on the called
`llvm::Function` when operand bundles are present.
Attributes locally present on the `CallInst` or `InvokeInst` will still
override operand bundle semantics. The LangRef has been amended to
reflect this. Note: this change does not do anything prevent
`-function-attrs` from inferring `CallSite` local attributes after
inspecting the called function -- that will be done as a separate
change.
I've used `-adce` and `-early-cse` to test these changes. There is
nothing special about these passes (and they did not require any
changes) except that they seemed be the easiest way to write the tests.
This change does not add deal with `argmemonly`. That's a later change
because alias analysis requires a related fix before `argmemonly` can be
tested.
