https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28466
It's possible to use trunc + icmp sgt/slt in place of an and + icmp eq/ne, so we need to
recognize that pattern to eliminate selects that are choosing between some value and some
bitmasked version of that value.
Note that there is significant room for improvement (refactoring) and enhancement (more
patterns, possibly in InstCombine rather than here).

For functions which are known to return a specific argument, pointer-comparison
folding can look through the function calls as part of its analysis.

This actually uncovered a surprisingly large chain of ultimately unused
TLI args.
From what I can gather, this argument is a remnant of when
isKnownNonNull would look at the TLI directly.
The current approach seems to be that InferFunctionAttrs runs early in
the pipeline and uses TLI to annotate the TLI-dependent non-null
information as return attributes.
This also removes the dependence of functionattrs on TLI altogether.

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.

Do simplifications common to all shift instructions based on the amount shifted:
1. If the shift amount is known larger than the bitwidth, the result is undefined.
2. If the valid bits of the shift amount are all known to be 0, it's a shift by zero, so the shift operand is the result.
Note that we could generalize the shift-by-zero transform into a shift-by-constant if all of the valid bits in the shift
amount are known, but that would have to be done in InstCombine rather than here because it would mean we need to create
a new shift instruction.

Summary
When a non-escaping pointer is compared to a global value, the
comparison can be folded even if the corresponding malloc/allocation
call cannot be elided.
We need to make sure the global value is not null, since comparisons to
null cannot be folded.
In future, we should also handle cases when the the comparison
instruction dominates the pointer escape.

This intrinsic takes two arguments, ``%ptr`` and ``%offset``. It loads
a 32-bit value from the address ``%ptr + %offset``, adds ``%ptr`` to that
value and returns it. The constant folder specifically recognizes the form of
this intrinsic and the constant initializers it may load from; if a loaded
constant initializer is known to have the form ``i32 trunc(x - %ptr)``,
the intrinsic call is folded to ``x``.
LLVM provides that the calculation of such a constant initializer will
not overflow at link time under the medium code model if ``x`` is an
``unnamed_addr`` function. However, it does not provide this guarantee for
a constant initializer folded into a function body. This intrinsic can be
used to avoid the possibility of overflows when loading from such a constant.

No matter what value you OR in to A, the result of (or A, B) is going to be UGE A. When A and B are positive, it's SGE too. If A is negative, OR'ing a value into it can't make it positive, but can increase its value closer to -1, therefore (or A, B) is SGE A. Working through all possible combinations produces this truth table:
```
A is
+, -, +/-
F F F + B is
T F ? -
? F ? +/-
```
The related optimizations are flipping the 'slt' for 'sge' which always NOTs the result (if the result is known), and swapping the LHS and RHS while swapping the comparison predicate.
There are more idioms left to implement (aren't there always!) but I've stopped here because any more would risk becoming unreasonable for reviewers.

Remove an ad-hoc transform in InstCombine and replace it with more
general machinery (ValueTracking, InstructionSimplify and VectorUtils).
This fixes PR27332.
llvm-svn: 266175
Summary:
Fixes PR26774.
If you're aware of the issue, feel free to skip the "Motivation"
section and jump directly to "This patch".
Motivation:
I define "refinement" as discarding behaviors from a program that the
optimizer has license to discard. So transforming:
```
void f(unsigned x) {
unsigned t = 5 / x;
(void)t;
}
```
to
```
void f(unsigned x) { }
```
is refinement, since the behavior went from "if x == 0 then undefined
else nothing" to "nothing" (the optimizer has license to discard
undefined behavior).
Refinement is a fundamental aspect of many mid-level optimizations done
by LLVM. For instance, transforming `x == (x + 1)` to `false` also
involves refinement since the expression's value went from "if x is
`undef` then { `true` or `false` } else { `false` }" to "`false`" (by
definition, the optimizer has license to fold `undef` to any non-`undef`
value).
Unfortunately, refinement implies that the optimizer cannot assume
that the implementation of a function it can see has all of the
behavior an unoptimized or a differently optimized version of the same
function can have. This is a problem for functions with comdat
linkage, where a function can be replaced by an unoptimized or a
differently optimized version of the same source level function.
For instance, FunctionAttrs cannot assume a comdat function is
actually `readnone` even if it does not have any loads or stores in
it; since there may have been loads and stores in the "original
function" that were refined out in the currently visible variant, and
at the link step the linker may in fact choose an implementation with
a load or a store. As an example, consider a function that does two
atomic loads from the same memory location, and writes to memory only
if the two values are not equal. The optimizer is allowed to refine
this function by first CSE'ing the two loads, and the folding the
comparision to always report that the two values are equal. Such a
refined variant will look like it is `readonly`. However, the
unoptimized version of the function can still write to memory (since
the two loads //can// result in different values), and selecting the
unoptimized version at link time will retroactively invalidate
transforms we may have done under the assumption that the function
does not write to memory.
Note: this is not just a problem with atomics or with linking
differently optimized object files. See PR26774 for more realistic
examples that involved neither.
This patch:
This change introduces a new set of linkage types, predicated as
`GlobalValue::mayBeDerefined` that returns true if the linkage type
allows a function to be replaced by a differently optimized variant at
link time. It then changes a set of IPO passes to bail out if they see
such a function.

While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers. They cannot
be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
control flow edges. Because of this, we are forced to carefully
analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
nesting among funclets. While we have logic to clone funclets when
they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
representation which forbade them upfront.
Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
flow, just a bunch of simple operands; catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad. Their presence can be inferred
implicitly using coloring information.
N.B. The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for. An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

0 | 1 | 1 (0 >= -1) | 1
1 | 0 | 0 (-1 >= 0) | 0

The loop idiom creating a ConstantRange is repeated twice in the
codebase, time to give it a name and a home.
The loop is also repeated in `rangeMetadataExcludesValue`, but using
`getConstantRangeFromMetadata` there would not be an NFC -- the range
returned by `getConstantRangeFromMetadata` may contain a value that none
of the subranges did.

First, the motivation: LLVM currently does not realize that:
((2072 >> (L == 0)) >> 7) & 1 == 0
where L is some arbitrary value. Whether you right-shift 2072 by 7 or by 8, the
lowest-order bit is always zero. There are obviously several ways to go about
fixing this, but the generic solution pursued in this patch is to teach
computeKnownBits something about shifts by a non-constant amount. Previously,
we would give up completely on these. Instead, in cases where we know something
about the low-order bits of the shift-amount operand, we can combine (and
together) the associated restrictions for all shift amounts consistent with
that knowledge. As a further generalization, I refactored all of the logic for
all three kinds of shifts to have this capability. This works well in the above
case, for example, because the dynamic shift amount can only be 0 or 1, and
thus we can say a lot about the known bits of the result.
This brings us to the second part of this change: Even when we know all of the
bits of a value via computeKnownBits, nothing used to constant-fold the result.
This introduces the necessary code into InstCombine and InstSimplify. I've
added it into both because:
1. InstCombine won't automatically pick up the associated logic in
InstSimplify (InstCombine uses InstSimplify, but not via the API that
passes in the original instruction).
2. Putting the logic in InstCombine allows the resulting simplifications to become
part of the iterative worklist
3. Putting the logic in InstSimplify allows the resulting simplifications to be
used by everywhere else that calls SimplifyInstruction (inlining, unrolling,
and many others).
And this requires a small change to our definition of an ephemeral value so
that we don't break the rest case from r246696 (where the icmp feeding the
@llvm.assume, is also feeding a br). Under the old definition, the icmp would
not be considered ephemeral (because it is used by the br), but this causes the
assume to remove itself (in addition to simplifying the branch structure), and
it seems more-useful to prevent that from happening.
llvm-svn: 251146
isKnownNonEqual(A, B) returns true if it can be determined that A != B.
At the moment it only knows two facts, that a non-wrapping add of nonzero to a value cannot be that value:
A + B != A [where B != 0, addition is nsw or nuw]
and that contradictory known bits imply two values are not equal.
This patch also hooks this up to InstSimplify; InstSimplify had a peephole for the first fact but not the second so this teaches InstSimplify a new trick too (alas no measured performance impact!)

This was split off of http://reviews.llvm.org/D13040 to make it easier to test the correctness of the implication logic. For the moment, this only handles a single easy case which shows up when eliminating and combining range checks. In the (near) future, I plan to extend this for other cases which show up in range checks, but I wanted to make those changes incrementally once the framework was in place.
At the moment, the implication logic will be used by three places. One in InstSimplify (this review) and two in SimplifyCFG (http://reviews.llvm.org/D13040 & http://reviews.llvm.org/D13070). Can anyone think of other locations this style of reasoning would make sense?
