Previously it was only be able to detect problems if the pointer was a numerical
value (eg inttoptr i32 1 to i32*), but not if it was an alloca or globa. The
reason was the use of ComputeMaskedBits: imagine you have "alloca i8, align 2",
and ask ComputeMaskedBits what it knows about the bits of the alloca pointer.
It can tell you that the bottom bit is known zero (due to align 2) but it can't
tell you that bit 1 is known one. That's because the address could be an even
multiple of 2 rather than an odd multiple, eg it might be a multiple of 4. Thus
trying to use KnownOne is ineffective in the case of an alloca as it will never
have any bits set. Instead look explicitly for constant offsets from allocas
and globals.

Enhances basic alias analysis to recognize phis whose first incoming values are
NoAlias and whose other incoming values are just the phi node itself through
some amount of recursion.
Example: With this change basicaa reports that ptr_phi and ptr_phi2 do not alias
each other.
bb:
ptr = ptr2 + 1
loop:
ptr_phi = phi [bb, ptr], [loop, ptr_plus_one]
ptr2_phi = phi [bb, ptr2], [loop, ptr2_plus_one]
...
ptr_plus_one = gep ptr_phi, 1
ptr2_plus_one = gep ptr2_phi, 1
This enables the elimination of one load in code like the following:
extern int foo;
int test_noalias(int *ptr, int num, int* coeff) {
int *ptr2 = ptr;
int result = (*ptr++) * (*coeff--);
while (num--) {
*ptr2++ = *ptr;
result += (*coeff--) * (*ptr++);
}
*ptr = foo;
return result;
}

If we can show that the base pointers of two GEPs don't alias each other using
precise analysis and the indices and base offset are equal then the two GEPs
also don't alias each other.
This is primarily needed for the follow up patch that analyses NoAlias'ing PHI
nodes.

It relies on clear() being fast and the cache rarely has more than 1 or 2
elements, so give it an inline capacity and always shrink it back down in case
it grows. DenseMap will grow to 64 buckets which makes clear() a lot slower.

If an allocation has a must-alias relation to the access pointer, we treat it
as a Def. Otherwise, without this check, the code here was just skipping over
the allocation call and ignoring it. I noticed this by inspection and don't
have a specific testcase that it breaks, but it seems like we need to treat
a may-alias allocation as a Clobber.

This code used to only handle malloc-like calls, which do not read memory.

This disables malloc-specific optimization when -fno-builtin (or -ffreestanding)
is specified. This has been a problem for a long time but became more severe
with the recent memory builtin improvements.
Since the memory builtin functions are used everywhere, this required passing
TLI in many places. This means that functions that now have an optional TLI
argument, like RecursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadFunctions, won't remove dead
mallocs anymore if the TLI argument is missing. I've updated most passes to do
the right thing.
Fixes PR13694 and probably others.

A simple example is a switch statement with multiple values to the same

a pair of PredBlock and an index into the successors.

especially when converting a Switch.

We give a bonus for every argument because the argument setup is not needed
anymore when the function is inlined. With this patch we interpret byval
arguments as a compact representation of many arguments. The byval argument
setup is implemented in the backend as an inline memcpy, so to model the
cost as accurately as possible we take the number of pointer-sized elements
in the byval argument and give a bonus of 2 instructions for every one of
those. The bonus is capped at 8 elements, which is the number of stores
at which the x86 backend switches from an expanded inline memcpy to a real
memcpy. It would be better to use the real memcpy threshold from the backend,
but it's not available via TargetData.
This change brings the performance of c-ray in line with gcc 4.7. The included
test case tries to reproduce the c-ray problem to catch regressions for this
benchmark early, its performance is dominated by the inline decision of a
specific call.
This only has a small impact on most code, more on x86 and arm than on x86_64
due to the way the ABI works. When building LLVM for x86 it gives a small
inline cost boost to virtually any function using StringRef or STL allocators,
but only a 0.01% increase in overall binary size. The size of gcc compiled by
clang actually shrunk by a couple bytes with this patch applied, but not
significantly.

instsimplify+inline strategy.
The crux of the problem is that instsimplify was reasonably relying on
an invariant that is true within any single function, but is no longer
true mid-inline the way we use it. This invariant is that an argument
pointer != a local (alloca) pointer.
The fix is really light weight though, and allows instsimplify to be
resiliant to these situations: when checking the relation ships to
function arguments, ensure that the argumets come from the same
function. If they come from different functions, then none of these
assumptions hold. All credit to Benjamin Kramer for coming up with this
clever solution to the problem.

This allows SCEVExpander to run on the IV expressions.

this part. I'm adding it as an extra safety check.

The primary advantage is that loop optimizations will be applied in a
stable order. This helps debugging and unit test creation. It is also
a better overall implementation without pathologically bad performance
on deep functions.

See r158790 for more comments.
The loop tree is now consistently generated in forward order, but loop
passes are applied in reverse order over the program. If we have a
loop optimization that prefers forward order, that can easily be
achieved by adding a different type of LoopPassManager.

-stable-loops enables a new algorithm for generating the Loop
forest. It differs from the original algorithm in a few respects:
- Not determined by use-list order.
- Initially guarantees RPO order of block and subloops.
- Linear in the number of CFG edges.
- Nonrecursive.
I didn't want to change the LoopInfo API yet, so the block lists are
still inclusive. This seems strange to me, and it means that building
LoopInfo is not strictly linear, but it may not be a problem in
practice. At least the block lists start out in RPO order now. In the
future we may add an attribute or wrapper analysis that allows other
passes to assume RPO order.
The primary motivation of this work was not to optimize LoopInfo, but
to allow reproducing performance issues by decomposing the compilation
stages. I'm often unable to do this with the current LoopInfo, because
the loop tree order determines Loop pass order. Serializing the IR
tends to invert the order, which reverses the optimization order. This
makes it nearly impossible to debug interdependent loop optimizations
such as LSR.
I also believe this will provide more stable performance results across time.
llvm-svn: 158790
The implementation only needs inclusion from LoopInfo.cpp and
MachineLoopInfo.cpp. Clients of the interface should only include the

This also required making recursive simplifications until
nothing changes or a hard limit (currently 3) is hit.
With the simplification in place indvars can canonicalize
loops of the form
for (unsigned i = 0; i < a-b; ++i)
into
for (unsigned i = 0; i != a-b; ++i)

for the backedge taken count.

add a new Region::block_iterator which actually iterates over the basic
blocks of the region.
The old iterator, now call 'block_node_iterator' iterates over
RegionNodes which contain a single basic block. This works well with the
GraphTraits-based iterator design, however most users actually want an
iterator over the BasicBlocks inside these RegionNodes. Now the
'block_iterator' is a wrapper which exposes exactly this interface.
Internally it uses the block_node_iterator to walk all nodes which are
single basic blocks, but transparently unwraps the basic block to make
user code simpler.
While this patch is a bit of a wash, most of the updates are to internal
users, not external users of the RegionInfo. I have an accompanying
patch to Polly that is a strict simplification of every user of this
interface, and I'm working on a pass that also wants the same simplified
interface.
This patch alone should have no functional impact.

minor behavior changes with this, but nothing I have seen evidence of in
the wild or expect to be meaningful. The real goal is unifying our logic
and simplifying the interfaces. A summary of the changes follows:
- Make 'callIsSmall' actually accept a callsite so it can handle
intrinsics, and simplify callers appropriately.
- Nuke a completely bogus declaration of 'callIsSmall' that was still
lurking in InlineCost.h... No idea how this got missed.
- Teach the 'isInstructionFree' about the various more intelligent
'free' heuristics that got added to the inline cost analysis during
review and testing. This mostly surrounds int->ptr and ptr->int casts.
- Switch most of the interesting parts of the inline cost analysis that
were essentially computing 'is this instruction free?' to use the code
metrics routine instead. This way we won't keep duplicating logic.
All of this is motivated by the desire to allow other passes to compute
a roughly equivalent 'cost' metric for a particular basic block as the
inline cost analysis. Sadly, re-using the same analysis for both is
really messy because only the actual inline cost analysis is ever going
to go to the contortions required for simplification, SROA analysis,
etc.
