The problematic part of this patch is that we were out of attribute bits,
requiring some fancy bit hacking to make it fit (by shrinking alignment)
without breaking existing users or the file format.
This change will require users to rebuild llvm-gcc to match llvm.

visited set before they are used. If used, their blocks need to be
added to the visited set so that subsequent queries don't use conflicting
pointer values in the cache result blocks.

memdep keeps track of how PHIs affect the pointer in dep queries, which
allows it to eliminate the load in cases like rle-phi-translate.ll, which
basically end up being:
BB1:
X = load P
br BB3
BB2:
Y = load Q
br BB3
BB3:
R = phi [P] [Q]
load R
turning "load R" into a phi of X/Y. In addition to additional exposed
opportunities, this makes memdep safe in many cases that it wasn't before
(which is required for load PRE) and also makes it substantially more
efficient. For example, consider:
bb1: // has many predecessors.
P = some_operator()
load P
In this example, previously memdep would scan all the predecessors of BB1
to see if they had something that would mustalias P. In some cases (e.g.
test/Transforms/GVN/rle-must-alias.ll) it would actually find them and end
up eliminating something. In many other cases though, it would scan and not
find anything useful. MemDep now stops at a block if the pointer is defined
in that block and cannot be phi translated to predecessors. This causes it
to miss the (rare) cases like rle-must-alias.ll, but makes it faster by not
scanning tons of stuff that is unlikely to be useful. For example, this
speeds up GVN as a whole from 3.928s to 2.448s (60%)!. IMO, scalar GVN
should be enhanced to simplify the rle-must-alias pointer base anyway, which
would allow the loads to be eliminated.
In the future, this should be enhanced to phi translate through geps and
bitcasts as well (as indicated by FIXMEs) making memdep even more powerful.

parallel, allowing it to decide that P/Q must alias if A/B
must alias in things like:
P = gep A, 0, i, 1
Q = gep B, 0, i, 1
This allows GVN to delete 62 more instructions out of 403.gcc.

of a pointer. This allows is to catch more equivalencies. For example,
the type_lists_compatible_p function used to require two iterations of
the gvn pass (!) to delete its 18 redundant loads because the first pass
would CSE all the addressing computation cruft, which would unblock the
second memdep/gvn passes from recognizing them. This change allows
memdep/gvn to catch all 18 when run just once on the function (as is
typical :) instead of just 3.
On all of 403.gcc, this bumps up the # reundandancies found from:
63 gvn - Number of instructions PRE'd
153991 gvn - Number of instructions deleted
50069 gvn - Number of loads deleted
to:
63 gvn - Number of instructions PRE'd
154137 gvn - Number of instructions deleted
50185 gvn - Number of loads deleted
+120 loads deleted isn't bad.

tricks based on readnone/readonly functions.
Teach memdep to look past readonly calls when analyzing
deps for a readonly call. This allows elimination of a
few more calls from 403.gcc:
before:
63 gvn - Number of instructions PRE'd
153986 gvn - Number of instructions deleted
50069 gvn - Number of loads deleted
after:
63 gvn - Number of instructions PRE'd
153991 gvn - Number of instructions deleted
50069 gvn - Number of loads deleted
5 calls isn't much, but this adds plumbing for the next change.

load dependence queries. This allows GVN to eliminate a few more
instructions on 403.gcc:
152598 gvn - Number of instructions deleted
49240 gvn - Number of loads deleted
after:
153986 gvn - Number of instructions deleted
50069 gvn - Number of loads deleted

the first block of a query specially. This makes the "complete query
caching" subsystem more effective, avoiding predecessor queries. This
speeds up GVN another 4%.
llvm-svn: 60752
track of whether the CachedNonLocalPointerInfo for a block is specific
to a block. If so, just return it without any pred scanning. This is
good for a 6% speedup on GVN (when it uses this lookup method, which
it doesn't right now).
llvm-svn: 60695
method. This will eventually take over load/store dep
queries from getNonLocalDependency. For now it works
fine, but is incredibly slow because it does no caching.
Lets not switch GVN to use it until that is fixed :)
