Simplify Consecutive Merge Store Candidate Search
Now that address aliasing is much less conservative, push through
simplified store merging search which only checks for parallel stores
through the chain subgraph. This is cleaner as the separation of
non-interfering loads/stores from the store-merging logic.
Whem merging stores, search up the chain through a single load, and
finds all possible stores by looking down from through a load and a
TokenFactor to all stores visited. This improves the quality of the
output SelectionDAG and generally the output CodeGen (with some
exceptions).
Additional Minor Changes:
1. Finishes removing unused AliasLoad code
2. Unifies the the chain aggregation in the merged stores across
code paths
3. Re-add the Store node to the worklist after calling
SimplifyDemandedBits.
4. Increase GatherAllAliasesMaxDepth from 6 to 18. That number is
arbitrary, but seemed sufficient to not cause regressions in
tests.
This finishes the change Matt Arsenault started in r246307 and
jyknight's original patch.
Many tests required some changes as memory operations are now
reorderable. Some tests relying on the order were changed to use
volatile memory operations
Noteworthy tests:
CodeGen/AArch64/argument-blocks.ll -
It's not entirely clear what the test_varargs_stackalign test is
supposed to be asserting, but the new code looks right.
CodeGen/AArch64/arm64-memset-inline.lli -
CodeGen/AArch64/arm64-stur.ll -
CodeGen/ARM/memset-inline.ll -
The backend now generates *worse* code due to store merging
succeeding, as we do do a 16-byte constant-zero store efficiently.
CodeGen/AArch64/merge-store.ll -
Improved, but there still seems to be an extraneous vector insert
from an element to itself?
CodeGen/PowerPC/ppc64-align-long-double.ll -
Worse code emitted in this case, due to the improved store->load
forwarding.
CodeGen/X86/dag-merge-fast-accesses.ll -
CodeGen/X86/MergeConsecutiveStores.ll -
CodeGen/X86/stores-merging.ll -
CodeGen/Mips/load-store-left-right.ll -
Restored correct merging of non-aligned stores
CodeGen/AMDGPU/promote-alloca-stored-pointer-value.ll -
Improved. Correctly merges buffer_store_dword calls
CodeGen/AMDGPU/si-triv-disjoint-mem-access.ll -
Improved. Sidesteps loading a stored value and merges two stores
CodeGen/X86/pr18023.ll -
This test has been removed, as it was asserting incorrect
behavior. Non-volatile stores *CAN* be moved past volatile loads,
and now are.
CodeGen/X86/vector-idiv.ll -
CodeGen/X86/vector-lzcnt-128.ll -
It's basically impossible to tell what these tests are actually
testing. But, looks like the code got better due to the memory
operations being recognized as non-aliasing.
CodeGen/X86/win32-eh.ll -
Both loads of the securitycookie are now merged.
CodeGen/AMDGPU/vgpr-spill-emergency-stack-slot-compute.ll -
This test appears to work but no longer exhibits the spill
behavior.

Note, this was reviewed (and more details are in) http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151109/312083.html
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.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.
This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.
* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)
* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.
* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.
* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x
Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by
same crappy python code. I had to manually update a few test cases that
wouldn't fit the script's model (r228970,r229196,r229197,r229198). The
python script just massages stdin and writes the result to stdout, I
then wrapped that in a shell script to handle replacing files, then
using the usual find+xargs to migrate all the files.
update.py:
import fileinput
import sys
import re
ibrep = re.compile(r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr inbounds )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")
normrep = re.compile( r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")

apply.sh:
for name in "$@"
do
python3 `dirname "$0"`/update.py < "$name" > "$name.tmp" && mv "$name.tmp" "$name"

done
The actual commands:
From llvm/src:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
From llvm/src/tools/clang:
find test/ -name *.mm -o -name *.m -o -name *.cpp -o -name *.c | xargs -I '{}' ../../apply.sh "{}"
From llvm/src/tools/polly:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
After that, check-all (with llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, lld,
compiler-rt, and polly all checked out).
The extra 'rm' in the apply.sh script is due to a few files in clang's test
suite using interesting unicode stuff that my python script was throwing
exceptions on. None of those files needed to be migrated, so it seemed
sufficient to ignore those cases.

This changes the SelectionDAG scheduling preference to source
order. Soon, the SelectionDAG scheduler can be bypassed saving
a nice chunk of compile time.
Performance differences that result from this change are often a
consequence of register coalescing. The register coalescer is far from
perfect. Bugs can be filed for deficiencies.
On x86 SandyBridge/Haswell, the source order schedule is often
preserved, particularly for small blocks.
Register pressure is generally improved over the SD scheduler's ILP
mode. However, we are still able to handle large blocks that require
latency hiding, unlike the SD scheduler's BURR mode. MI scheduler also
attempts to discover the critical path in single-block loops and
adjust heuristics accordingly.
The MI scheduler relies on the new machine model. This is currently
unimplemented for AVX, so we may not be generating the best code yet.
Unit tests are updated so they don't depend on SD scheduling heuristics.

testcases accordingly. Some are currently xfailed and will be filed
as bugs to be fixed or understood.
Performance results:
roughly neutral on SPEC
some micro benchmarks in the llvm suite are up between 100 and 150%, only
a pair of regressions that are due to be investigated
john-the-ripper saw:
10% improvement in traditional DES
8% improvement in BSDI DES
59% improvement in FreeBSD MD5
67% improvement in OpenBSD Blowfish
14% improvement in LM DES
Small compile time impact.

The theory is it's still faster than a pair of movq / a quad of movl. This
will probably hurt older chips like P4 but should run faster on current
and future Intel processors. rdar://8817010

CombinerAA cannot assume that different FrameIndex's never alias, but can instead use
MachineFrameInfo to get the actual offsets of these slots and check for actual aliasing.
This fixes CodeGen/X86/2010-02-19-TailCallRetAddrBug.ll and CodeGen/X86/tailcallstack64.ll
when CombinerAA is enabled, modulo a different register allocation sequence.

NO path to the destination containing side effects, not that SOME path contains no side effects.
In practice, this only manifests with CombinerAA enabled, because otherwise the chain has little
to no branching, so "any" is effectively equivalent to "all".
