Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

Remove the command line argument "struct-path-tbaa" since we should not depend
on command line argument to decide which format the IR file is using. Instead,
we check the first operand of the tbaa tag node, if it is a MDNode, we treat
it as struct-path aware TBAA format, otherwise, we treat it as scalar TBAA
format.
When clang starts to use struct-path aware TBAA format no matter whether
struct-path-tbaa is no, and we can auto-upgrade existing bc files, the support
for scalar TBAA format can be dropped.
Existing testing cases are updated to use the struct-path aware TBAA format.

multiple scalar promotions on a single loop. This also has the effect of
preserving the order of stores sunk out of loops, which is aesthetically
pleasing, and it happens to fix the testcase in PR13542, though it doesn't
fix the underlying problem.
