Remove implicit ilist iterator conversions from LLVMAnalysis.
I came across something really scary in `llvm::isKnownNotFullPoison()`
which relied on `Instruction::getNextNode()` being completely broken
(not surprising, but scary nevertheless). This function is documented
(and coded to) return `nullptr` when it gets to the sentinel, but with
an `ilist_half_node` as a sentinel, the sentinel check looks into some
other memory and we don't recognize we've hit the end.
Rooting out these scary cases is the reason I'm removing the implicit
conversions before doing anything else with `ilist`; I'm not at all
surprised that clients rely on badness.
I found another scary case -- this time, not relying on badness, just
bad (but I guess getting lucky so far) -- in
`ObjectSizeOffsetEvaluator::compute_()`. Here, we save out the
insertion point, do some things, and then restore it. Previously, we
let the iterator auto-convert to `Instruction*`, and then set it back
using the `Instruction*` version:
Instruction *PrevInsertPoint = Builder.GetInsertPoint();
/* Logic that may change insert point */
if (PrevInsertPoint)
Builder.SetInsertPoint(PrevInsertPoint);
The check for `PrevInsertPoint` doesn't protect correctly against bad
accesses. If the insertion point has been set to the end of a basic
block (i.e., `SetInsertPoint(SomeBB)`), then `GetInsertPoint()` returns
an iterator pointing at the list sentinel. The version of
`SetInsertPoint()` that's getting called will then call
`PrevInsertPoint->getParent()`, which explodes horribly. The only
reason this hasn't blown up is that it's fairly unlikely the builder is
adding to the end of the block; usually, we're adding instructions
somewhere before the terminator.

This introduces the basic functionality to support "token types".
The motivation stems from the need to perform operations on a Value
whose provenance cannot be obscured.
There are several applications for such a type but my immediate
motivation stems from WinEH. Our personality routine enforces a
single-entry - single-exit regime for cleanups. After several rounds of
optimizations, we may be left with a terminator whose "cleanup-entry
block" is not entirely clear because control flow has merged two
cleanups together. We have experimented with using labels as operands
inside of instructions which are not terminators to indicate where we
came from but found that LLVM does not expect such exotic uses of
BasicBlocks.
Instead, we can use this new type to clearly associate the "entry point"
and "exit point" of our cleanup. This is done by having the cleanuppad
yield a Token and consuming it at the cleanupret.
The token type makes it impossible to obscure or otherwise hide the
Value, making it trivial to track the relationship between the two
points.
What is the burden to the optimizer? Well, it turns out we have already
paid down this cost by accepting that there are certain calls that we
are not permitted to duplicate, optimizations have to watch out for
such instructions anyway. There are additional places in the optimizer
that we will probably have to update but early examination has given me
the impression that this will not be heroic.

a cache of assumptions for a single function, and an immutable pass that
manages those caches.
The motivation for this change is two fold. Immutable analyses are
really hacks around the current pass manager design and don't exist in
the new design. This is usually OK, but it requires that the core logic
of an immutable pass be reasonably partitioned off from the pass logic.
This change does precisely that. As a consequence it also paves the way
for the *many* utility functions that deal in the assumptions to live in
both pass manager worlds by creating an separate non-pass object with
its own independent API that they all rely on. Now, the only bits of the
system that deal with the actual pass mechanics are those that actually
need to deal with the pass mechanics.
Once this separation is made, several simplifications become pretty
obvious in the assumption cache itself. Rather than using a set and
callback value handles, it can just be a vector of weak value handles.
The callers can easily skip the handles that are null, and eventually we
can wrap all of this up behind a filter iterator.
For now, this adds boiler plate to the various passes, but this kind of
boiler plate will end up making it possible to port these passes to the
new pass manager, and so it will end up factored away pretty reasonably.

This is to be consistent with StringSet and ultimately with the standard
library's associative container insert function.
This lead to updating SmallSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update SmallPtrSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update all the existing users of those functions...

We need to make sure that we visit all operands of an instruction before moving
deeper in the operand graph. We had been pushing operands onto the back of the work
set, and popping them off the back as well, meaning that we might visit an
instruction before visiting all of its uses that sit in between it and the call
to @llvm.assume.
To provide an explicit example, given the following:
%q0 = extractelement <4 x float> %rd, i32 0
%q1 = extractelement <4 x float> %rd, i32 1
%q2 = extractelement <4 x float> %rd, i32 2
%q3 = extractelement <4 x float> %rd, i32 3
%q4 = fadd float %q0, %q1
%q5 = fadd float %q2, %q3
%q6 = fadd float %q4, %q5
%qi = fcmp olt float %q6, %q5
call void @llvm.assume(i1 %qi)
%q5 is used by both %qi and %q6. When we visit %qi, it will be marked as
ephemeral, and we'll queue %q6 and %q5. %q6 will be marked as ephemeral and
we'll queue %q4 and %q5. Under the old system, we'd then visit %q4, which
would become ephemeral, %q1 and then %q0, which would become ephemeral as
well, and now we have a problem. We'd visit %rd, but it would not be marked as
ephemeral because we've not yet visited %q2 and %q3 (because we've not yet
visited %q5).
This will be covered by a test case in a follow-up commit that enables
ephemeral-value awareness in the SLP vectorizer.

This adds a set of utility functions for collecting 'ephemeral' values. These
are LLVM IR values that are used only by @llvm.assume intrinsics (directly or
indirectly), and thus will be removed prior to code generation, implying that
they should be considered free for certain purposes (like inlining). The
inliner's cost analysis, and a few other passes, have been updated to account
for ephemeral values using the provided functionality.
This functionality is important for the usability of @llvm.assume, because it
limits the "non-local" side-effects of adding llvm.assume on inlining, loop
unrolling, etc. (these are hints, and do not generate code, so they should not
directly contribute to estimates of execution cost).

The "noduplicate" attribute of call instructions is sometimes queried directly
and sometimes through the cannotDuplicate() predicate. This patch streamlines
all queries to use the cannotDuplicate() predicate. It also adds this predicate
to InvokeInst, to mirror what CallInst has.

generic function calls and intrinsics. This is somewhat overlapping with
an existing intrinsic cost method, but that one seems targetted at
vector intrinsics. I'll merge them or separate their names and use cases
in a separate commit.
This sinks the test of 'callIsSmall' down into TTI where targets can
control it. The whole thing feels very hack-ish to me though. I've left
a FIXME comment about the fundamental design problem this presents. It
isn't yet clear to me what the users of this function *really* care
about. I'll have to do more analysis to figure that out. Putting this
here at least provides it access to proper analysis pass tools and other
such. It also allows us to more cleanly implement the baseline cost
interfaces in TTI.
With this commit, it is now theoretically possible to simplify much of
the inline cost analysis's handling of calls by calling through to this
interface. That conversion will have to happen in subsequent commits as
it requires more extensive restructuring of the inline cost analysis.
The CodeMetrics class is now really only in the business of running over
a block of code and aggregating the metrics on that block of code, with
the actual cost evaluation done entirely in terms of TTI.

is free. The whole CodeMetrics API should probably be reworked more, but
this is enough to allow deleting the duplicate code there for computing
whether an instruction is free.
All of the passes using this have been updated to pull in TTI and hand
it to the CodeMetrics stuff. Further, a dead CodeMetrics API
(analyzeFunction) is nuked for lack of users.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.

directly.
This is in preparation for removing the use of the 'Attribute' class as a
collection of attributes. That will shift to the AttributeSet class instead.

Similarly inlining of the function is inhibited, if that would duplicate the call (in particular inlining is still allowed when there is only one callsite and the function has internal linkage).

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

r165941: Resubmit the changes to llvm core to update the functions to
support different pointer sizes on a per address space basis.
Despite this commit log, this change primarily changed stuff outside of
VMCore, and those changes do not carry any tests for correctness (or
even plausibility), and we have consistently found questionable or flat
out incorrect cases in these changes. Most of them are probably correct,
but we need to devise a system that makes it more clear when we have
handled the address space concerns correctly, and ideally each pass that
gets updated would receive an accompanying test case that exercises that
pass specificaly w.r.t. alternate address spaces.
However, from this commit, I have retained the new C API entry points.
Those were an orthogonal change that probably should have been split
apart, but they seem entirely good.
In several places the changes were very obvious cleanups with no actual
multiple address space code added; these I have not reverted when
I spotted them.
In a few other places there were merge conflicts due to a cleaner
solution being implemented later, often not using address spaces at all.
In those cases, I've preserved the new code which isn't address space
dependent.
This is part of my ongoing effort to clean out the partial address space
code which carries high risk and low test coverage, and not likely to be
finished before the 3.2 release looms closer. Duncan and I would both
like to see the above issues addressed before we return to these
changes.

We use the enums to query whether an Attributes object has that attribute. The
opaque layer is responsible for knowing where that specific attribute is stored.
llvm-svn: 165488
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.

on a per-callsite walk of the called function's instructions, in
breadth-first order over the potentially reachable set of basic blocks.
This is a major shift in how inline cost analysis works to improve the
accuracy and rationality of inlining decisions. A brief outline of the
algorithm this moves to:
- Build a simplification mapping based on the callsite arguments to the
function arguments.
- Push the entry block onto a worklist of potentially-live basic blocks.
- Pop the first block off of the *front* of the worklist (for
breadth-first ordering) and walk its instructions using a custom
InstVisitor.
- For each instruction's operands, re-map them based on the
simplification mappings available for the given callsite.
- Compute any simplification possible of the instruction after
re-mapping, and store that back int othe simplification mapping.
- Compute any bonuses, costs, or other impacts of the instruction on the
cost metric.
- When the terminator is reached, replace any conditional value in the
terminator with any simplifications from the mapping we have, and add
any successors which are not proven to be dead from these
simplifications to the worklist.
- Pop the next block off of the front of the worklist, and repeat.
- As soon as the cost of inlining exceeds the threshold for the
callsite, stop analyzing the function in order to bound cost.
The primary goal of this algorithm is to perfectly handle dead code
paths. We do not want any code in trivially dead code paths to impact
inlining decisions. The previous metric was *extremely* flawed here, and
would always subtract the average cost of two successors of
a conditional branch when it was proven to become an unconditional
branch at the callsite. There was no handling of wildly different costs
between the two successors, which would cause inlining when the path
actually taken was too large, and no inlining when the path actually
taken was trivially simple. There was also no handling of the code
*path*, only the immediate successors. These problems vanish completely
now. See the added regression tests for the shiny new features -- we
skip recursive function calls, SROA-killing instructions, and high cost
complex CFG structures when dead at the callsite being analyzed.
Switching to this algorithm required refactoring the inline cost
interface to accept the actual threshold rather than simply returning
a single cost. The resulting interface is pretty bad, and I'm planning
to do lots of interface cleanup after this patch.
Several other refactorings fell out of this, but I've tried to minimize
them for this patch. =/ There is still more cleanup that can be done
here. Please point out anything that you see in review.
I've worked really hard to try to mirror at least the spirit of all of
the previous heuristics in the new model. It's not clear that they are
all correct any more, but I wanted to minimize the change in this single
patch, it's already a bit ridiculous. One heuristic that is *not* yet
mirrored is to allow inlining of functions with a dynamic alloca *if*
the caller has a dynamic alloca. I will add this back, but I think the
most reasonable way requires changes to the inliner itself rather than
just the cost metric, and so I've deferred this for a subsequent patch.
The test case is XFAIL-ed until then.
As mentioned in the review mail, this seems to make Clang run about 1%
to 2% faster in -O0, but makes its binary size grow by just under 4%.
I've looked into the 4% growth, and it can be fixed, but requires
changes to other parts of the inliner.

analysis implementation. The header was already separated. Also cleanup
all the comments in the header to follow a nice modern doxygen form.
There is still plenty of cruft here, but some of that will fall out in
subsequent refactorings and this was an easy step in the right
direction. No functionality changed here.
