e9538ca02f [FPEnv] Intrinsic llvm.roundeven
This intrinsic implements IEEE-754 operation roundToIntegralTiesToEven,
and performs rounding to the nearest integer value, rounding halfway
cases to even. The intrinsic represents the missed case of IEEE-754
rounding operations and now llvm provides full support of the rounding
operations defined by the standard.

202bb919c0 Make Value::getPointerAlignment() return an Align, not a MaybeAlign.
If we don't know anything about the alignment of a pointer, Align(1) is
still correct: all pointers are at least 1-byte aligned.

Included in this patch is a bugfix for an issue discovered during this
cleanup: pointers with "dereferenceable" attributes/metadata were
assumed to be aligned according to the type of the pointer.  This
wasn't intentional, as far as I can tell, so Loads.cpp was fixed to
stop making this assumption. Frontends may need to be updated.  I
updated clang's handling of C++ references, and added a release note for
this.

98b6c732a5 [LICM] When promoting loads to the preheader, drop the location.
It's really almost going to be misleading, see the example in
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45820

Maybe at some point we can do something fancier, but at least
this will fix a bug where we step on dead code while debugging.

f5d3346387 Infer alignment of unmarked loads in IR/bitcode parsing.
For IR generated by a compiler, this is really simple: you just take the
datalayout from the beginning of the file, and apply it to all the IR
later in the file. For optimization testcases that don't care about the
datalayout, this is also really simple: we just use the default
datalayout.

The complexity here comes from the fact that some LLVM tools allow
overriding the datalayout: some tools have an explicit flag for this,
some tools will infer a datalayout based on the code generation target.
Supporting this properly required plumbing through a bunch of new
machinery: we want to allow overriding the datalayout after the
datalayout is parsed from the file, but before we use any information
from it. Therefore, IR/bitcode parsing now has a callback to allow tools
to compute the datalayout at the appropriate time.

Not sure if I covered all the LLVM tools that want to use the callback.
(clang? lli? Misc IR manipulation tools like llvm-link?). But this is at
least enough for all the LLVM regression tests, and IR without a
datalayout is not something frontends should generate.

This change had some sort of weird effects for certain CodeGen
regression tests: if the datalayout is overridden with a datalayout with
a different program or stack address space, we now parse IR based on the
overridden datalayout, instead of the one written in the file (or the
default one, if none is specified). This broke a few AVR tests, and one
AMDGPU test.

Outside the CodeGen tests I mentioned, the test changes are all just
fixing CHECK lines and moving around datalayout lines in weird places.

0695f0b2a5 [LICM] Try to merge debug locations when sinking.
The current strategy LICM uses when sinking for debuginfo is
that of picking the debug location of one of the uses.
This causes stepping to be wrong sometimes, see, e.g. PR45523.

This patch introduces a generalization of getMergedLocation(),
that operates on a vector of locations instead of two, and try
to merge all them together, and use the new API in LICM.

e59cd1a981 [LICM] Support hosting of dynamic allocas out of loops
This patch implements a correct, but not terribly useful, transform. In particular, if we have a dynamic alloca in a loop which is guaranteed to execute, and provably not captured, we hoist the alloca out of the loop. The capture tracking is needed so that we can prove that each previous stack region dies before the next one is allocated. The transform decreases the amount of stack allocation needed by a linear factor (e.g. the iteration count of the loop).

Now, I really hope no one is actually using dynamic allocas. As such, why this patch?

Well, the actual problem I'm hoping to make progress on is allocation hoisting. There's a large draft patch out for review (https://reviews.llvm.org/D60056), and this patch was the smallest chunk of testable functionality I could come up with which takes a step vaguely in that direction.

Once this is in, it makes motivating the changes to capture tracking mentioned in TODOs testable. After that, I hope to extend this to trivial malloc free regions (i.e. free dominating all loop exits) and allocation functions for GCed languages.

1542bebc55 [LoopPassManager + MemorySSA] Only enable use of MemorySSA for LPMs known to preserve it.
Summary:
Add a flag to the FunctionToLoopAdaptor that allows enabling MemorySSA only for the loop pass managers that are known to preserve it.

If an LPM is known to have only loop transforms that *all* preserve MemorySSA, then use MemorySSA if `EnableMSSALoopDependency` is set.
If an LPM has loop passes that do not preserve MemorySSA, then the flag passed is `false`, regardless of the value of `EnableMSSALoopDependency`.

When using a custom loop pass pipeline via `passes=...`, use keyword `loop` vs `loop-mssa` to use MemorySSA in that LPM. If a loop that does not preserve MemorySSA is added while using the `loop-mssa` keyword, that's an error.

Add the new `loop-mssa` keyword to a few tests where a difference occurs when enabling MemorySSA.

6bd8c535b7 [LICM & MSSA] Limit unsafe sinking and hoisting.
Summary:
The getClobberingMemoryAccess API checks for clobbering accesses in a loop by walking the backedge. This may check if a memory access is being
clobbered by the loop in a previous iteration, depending how smart AA got over the course of the updates in MemorySSA (it does not occur when built from scratch).
If no clobbering access is found inside the loop, it will optimize to an access outside the loop. This however does not mean that access is safe to sink.
Given:
```
for i
  load a[i]
  store a[i]
```
The access corresponding to the load can be optimized to outside the loop, and the load can be hoisted. But it is incorrect to sink it.
In order to sink the load, we'd need to check no Def clobbers the Use in the same iteration. With this patch we currently restrict sinking to either
Defs not existing in the loop, or Defs preceding the load in the same block. An easy extension is to ensure the load (Use) post-dominates all Defs.

Caught by PR42294.

This issue also shed light on the converse problem: hoisting stores in this same scenario would be illegal. With this patch we restrict
hoisting of stores to the case when their corresponding Defs are dominating all Uses in the loop.

What this approach was missing, is that ordered loads are not Uses, they're Defs

volatile load to interfere, we still cannot hoist a store past a
volatile load.

bd51fb8638 [LICM] Infer proper alignment from loads during scalar promotion
This patch fixes an issue where we would compute an unnecessarily small alignment during scalar promotion when no store is not to be guaranteed to execute, but we've proven load speculation safety. Since speculating a load requires proving the existing alignment is valid at the new location (see Loads.cpp), we can use the alignment fact from the load.

For non-atomics, this is a performance problem. For atomics, this is a correctness issue, though an *incredibly* rare one to see in practice. For atomics, we might not be able to lower an improperly aligned load or store (i.e. i32 align 1). If such an instruction makes it all the way to codegen, we *may* fail to codegen the operation, or we may simply generate a slow call to a library function. The part that makes this super hard to see in practice is that the memory location actually *is* well aligned, and instcombine knows that. So, to see a failure, you have to have a) hit the bug in LICM, b) somehow hit a depth limit in InstCombine/ValueTracking to avoid fixing the alignment, and c) then have generated an instruction which fails codegen rather than simply emitting a slow libcall. All around, pretty hard to hit.

Step 2 in using MemorySSA in LICM:
Use MemorySSA in LICM to do sinking and hoisting, all under "EnableMSSALoopDependency" flag.
Promotion is disabled.

Enable flag in LICM sink/hoist tests to test correctness of this change. Moved one test which
relied on promotion, in order to test all sinking tests.

8105587214 [LICM] Adjust how moving the re-hoist point works
In some cases the order that we hoist instructions in means that when rehoisting
(which uses the same order as hoisting) we can rehoist to a block A, then a
block B, then block A again. This currently causes an assertion failure as it
expects that when changing the hoist point it only ever moves to a block that
dominates the hoist point being moved from.

Fix this by moving the re-hoist point when it doesn't dominate the dominator of
hoisted instruction, or in other words when it wouldn't dominate the uses of
the instruction being rehoisted.

be11b6ca1a Introduce llvm.experimental.widenable_condition intrinsic
This patch introduces a new instinsic `@llvm.experimental.widenable_condition`
that allows explicit representation for guards. It is an alternative to using
`@llvm.experimental.guard` intrinsic that does not contain implicit control flow.

We keep finding places where `@llvm.experimental.guard` is not supported or
treated too conservatively, and there are 2 reasons to that:

- `@llvm.experimental.guard` has memory write side effect to model implicit control flow,
  and this sometimes confuses passes and analyzes that work with memory;
- Not all passes and analysis are aware of the semantics of guards. These passes treat them
  as regular throwing call and have no idea that the condition of guard may be used to prove
  something. One well-known place which had caused us troubles in the past is explicit loop
  iteration count calculation in SCEV. Another example is new loop unswitching which is not
  aware of guards. Whenever a new pass appears, we potentially have this problem there.

Rather than go and fix all these places (and commit to keep track of them and add support
in future), it seems more reasonable to leverage the existing optimizer's logic as much as possible.
The only significant difference between guards and regular explicit branches is that guard's condition
can be widened. It means that a guard contains (explicitly or implicitly) a `deopt` block successor,
and it is always legal to go there no matter what the guard condition is. The other successor is
a guarded block, and it is only legal to go there if the condition is true.

This patch introduces a new explicit form of guards alternative to `@llvm.experimental.guard`
intrinsic. Now a widenable guard can be represented in the CFG explicitly like this:


    %widenable_condition = call i1 @llvm.experimental.widenable.condition()
    %new_condition = and i1 %cond, %widenable_condition
    br i1 %new_condition, label %guarded, label %deopt

  guarded:
    ; Guarded instructions

  deopt:
    call type @llvm.experimental.deoptimize(<args...>) [ "deopt"(<deopt_args...>) ]

The new intrinsic `@llvm.experimental.widenable.condition` has semantics of an
`undef`, but the intrinsic prevents the optimizer from folding it early. This form
should exploit all optimization boons provided to `br` instuction, and it still can be
widened by replacing the result of `@llvm.experimental.widenable.condition()`
with `and` with any arbitrary boolean value (as long as the branch that is taken when
it is `false` has a deopt and has no side-effects).

For more motivation, please check llvm-dev discussion "[llvm-dev] Giving up using
implicit control flow in guards".

This patch introduces this new intrinsic with respective LangRef changes and a pass
that converts old-style guards (expressed as intrinsics) into the new form.

The naming discussion is still ungoing. Merging this to unblock further items. We can
later change the name of this intrinsic.

433144a780 [LICM] Reapply r347776 "Make LICM able to hoist phis" with fix
This commit caused a large compile-time slowdown in some cases when NDEBUG is
off due to the dominator tree verification it added. Fix this by only doing
dominator tree and loop info verification when something has been hoisted.
