These intrinsics currently have an explicit alignment argument which is
required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
source and dest, and so must be the minimum of those.
This change allows source and dest to each have their own alignments
by using the alignment attribute on their arguments. The alignment
argument itself is removed.
There are a few places in the code for which the code needs to be
checked by an expert as to whether using only src/dest alignment is
safe. For those places, they currently take the minimum of src/dest
alignments which matches the current behaviour.
For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 500, i32 8, i1 false)
will now read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 8 %dest, i8* align 8 %src, i32 500, i1 false)
For out of tree owners, I was able to strip alignment from calls using sed by replacing:
(call.*llvm\.memset.*)i32\ [0-9]*\,\ i1 false\)
with:
$1i1 false)
and similarly for memmove and memcpy.
I then added back in alignment to test cases which needed it.
A similar commit will be made to clang which actually has many differences in alignment as now
IRBuilder can generate different source/dest alignments on calls.
In IRBuilder itself, a new argument was added. Instead of calling:
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
you now call
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, SrcAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
There is a temporary class (IntegerAlignment) which takes the source alignment and rejects
implicit conversion from bool. This is to prevent isVolatile here from passing its default
parameter to the source alignment.
Note, changes in future can now be made to codegen. I didn't change anything here, but this
change should enable better memcpy code sequences.

Change `llc` and `opt` to run `verifyModule()`. This ensures that we
check the full module before `FunctionPass::doInitialization()` ever
gets called (I was getting crashes in `DwarfDebug` instead of verifier
failures when testing a WIP patch that checks operands of compile
units). In `opt`, also move up debug-info-stripping so that it still
runs before verification.
There was a fair bit of broken code that was sitting in tree.
Interestingly, some were cases of a `select` that referred to itself in
`-instcombine` tests (apparently an intermediate result). I split them
off to `*-noverify.ll` tests with RUN lines like this:
opt < %s -S -disable-verify -instcombine | opt -S | FileCheck %s
This avoids verifying the input file (so we can get the broken code into
`-instcombine), but still verifies the output with a second call to
`opt` (to verify that `-instcombine` will clean it up like it should).

input filename so that opt doesn't print the input filename in the
output so that grep lines in the tests don't unintentionally match
strings in the input filename.
