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).

it breaks the modules builds (where CallGraph.h can be quite reasonably
transitively included by an unimported portion of a module, and CallGraph.cpp
not linked in), and appears to have been entirely redundant since PR780 was
fixed back in 2008.
If this breaks anything, please revert; I have only tested this with a single
configuration, and it's possible that this is still somehow fixing something
(though I doubt it, since no other similar file uses this mechanism any more).

It's also possible to just write "= nullptr", but there's some question
of whether that's as readable, so I leave it up to authors to pick which
they prefer for now. If we want to discuss standardizing on one or the
other, we can do that at some point in the future.

Inlining functions with block addresses can cause many problem and requires a
rich infrastructure to support including escape analysis. At this point the
safest approach to address these problems is by blocking inlining from
happening.
Background:
There have been reports on Ruby segmentation faults triggered by inlining
functions with block addresses like
//Ruby code snippet
vm_exec_core() {
finish_insn_seq_0 = &&INSN_LABEL_finish;
INSN_LABEL_finish:
;
}
This kind of scenario can also happen when LLVM picks a subset of blocks for
inlining, which is the case with the actual code in the Ruby environment.
LLVM suppresses inlining for such functions when there is an indirect branch.
The attached patch does so even when there is no indirect branch. Note that
user code like above would not make much sense: using the global for jumping
across function boundaries would be illegal.
Why was there a segfault:
In the snipped above the block with the label is recognized as dead So it is
eliminated. Instead of a block address the cloner stores a constant (sic!) into
the global resulting in the segfault (when the global is used in a goto).
Why had it worked in the past then:
By luck. In older versions vm_exec_core was also inlined but the label address
used was the block label address in vm_exec_core. So the global jump ended up
in the original function rather than in the caller which accidentally happened
to work.

Sometimes a LLVM compilation may take more time then a client would like to
wait for. The problem is that it is not possible to safely suspend the LLVM
thread from the outside. When the timing is bad it might be possible that the
LLVM thread holds a global mutex and this would block any progress in any other
thread.
This commit adds a new yield callback function that can be registered with a
context. LLVM will try to yield by calling this callback function, but there is
no guaranteed frequency. LLVM will only do so if it can guarantee that
suspending the thread won't block any forward progress in other LLVM contexts
in the same process.
Once the client receives the call back it can suspend the thread safely and
resume it at another time.

by avoiding inlining massive switches merely because they have no
instructions in them. These switches still show up where we fail to form
lookup tables, and in those cases they are actually going to cause
a very significant code size hit anyways, so inlining them is not the
right call. The right way to fix any performance regressions stemming
from this is to enhance the switch-to-lookup-table logic to fire in more
places.
This makes PR19499 about 5x less bad. It uncovers a second compile time
problem in that test case that is unrelated (surprisingly!).

The "noduplicate" attribute of call instructions is sometimes queried directly

all queries to use the cannotDuplicate() predicate. It also adds this predicate
to InvokeInst, to mirror what CallInst has.

This requires a number of steps.
1) Move value_use_iterator into the Value class as an implementation
detail
2) Change it to actually be a *Use* iterator rather than a *User*
iterator.
3) Add an adaptor which is a User iterator that always looks through the
Use to the User.
4) Wrap these in Value::use_iterator and Value::user_iterator typedefs.
5) Add the range adaptors as Value::uses() and Value::users().
6) Update *all* of the callers to correctly distinguish between whether
they wanted a use_iterator (and to explicitly dig out the User when
needed), or a user_iterator which makes the Use itself totally
opaque.
Because #6 requires churning essentially everything that walked the
Use-Def chains, I went ahead and added all of the range adaptors and
switched them to range-based loops where appropriate. Also because the
renaming requires at least churning every line of code, it didn't make
any sense to split these up into multiple commits -- all of which would
touch all of the same lies of code.
The result is still not quite optimal. The Value::use_iterator is a nice
regular iterator, but Value::user_iterator is an iterator over User*s
rather than over the User objects themselves. As a consequence, it fits
a bit awkwardly into the range-based world and it has the weird
extra-dereferencing 'operator->' that so many of our iterators have.
I think this could be fixed by providing something which transforms
a range of T&s into a range of T*s, but that *can* be separated into
another patch, and it isn't yet 100% clear whether this is the right
move.
However, this change gets us most of the benefit and cleans up
a substantial amount of code around Use and User. =]

Eventually DataLayoutPass should go away, but for now that is the only easy
way to get a DataLayout in some APIs. This patch only changes the ones that
have easy access to a Module.
One interesting issue with sometimes using DataLayoutPass and sometimes
fetching it from the Module is that we have to make sure they are equivalent.
We can get most of the way there by always constructing the pass with a Module.
In fact, the pass could be changed to point to an external DataLayout instead
of owning one to make this stricter.
Unfortunately, the C api passes a DataLayout, so it has to be up to the caller
to make sure the pass and the module are in sync.

cost so that they don't impact the vector bonus. Fundamentally, counting
unsimplified instructions is just *wrong*; it will continue to introduce
instability as things which do not generate code bizarrely impact
inlining. For example, sufficiently nested inlined functions could turn
off the vector bonus with lifetime markers just like the debug
intrinsics do. =/
This is a short-term tactical fix. Long term, I think we need to remove
the vector bonus entirely. That's a separate patch and discussion
though.
The patch to fix this provided by Dario Domizioli. I've added some
comments about the planned direction and used a heavily pruned form of
debug info intrinsics for the test case. While this debug info doesn't
work or "do" anything useful, it lets us easily test all manner of
interference easily, and I suspect this will not be the last time we
want to craft a pattern where debug info interferes with the inliner in
a problematic way.

through an invoke instruction.
The original patch for this was written by Mark Seaborn, but I've
reworked his test case into the existing returns_twice test case and
implemented the fix by the prior refactoring to actually run the cost
analysis over invoke instructions, and then here fixing our detection of
the returns_twice attribute to work for both calls and invokes. We never
noticed because we never saw an invoke. =[

handles terminator instructions.
The inline cost analysis inheritted some pretty rough handling of
terminator insts from the original cost analysis, and then made it much,
much worse by factoring all of the important analyses into a separate
instruction visitor. That instruction visitor never visited the
terminator.
This works fine for things like conditional branches, but for many other
things we simply computed The Wrong Value. First example are
unconditional branches, which should be free but were counted as full
cost. This is most significant for conditional branches where the
condition simplifies and folds during inlining. We paid a 1 instruction
tax on every branch in a straight line specialized path. =[
Oh, we also claimed that the unreachable instruction had cost.
But it gets worse. Let's consider invoke. We never applied the call
penalty. We never accounted for the cost of the arguments. Nope. Worse
still, we didn't handle the *correctness* constraints of not inlining
recursive invokes, or exception throwing returns_twice functions. Oops.
See PR18206. Sadly, PR18206 requires yet another fix, but this
refactoring is at least a huge step in that direction.

CallGraph.
This makes the CallGraph a totally generic analysis object that is the
container for the graph data structure and the primary interface for
querying and manipulating it. The pass logic is separated into its own
class. For compatibility reasons, the pass provides wrapper methods for
most of the methods on CallGraph -- they all just forward.
This will allow the new pass manager infrastructure to provide its own
analysis pass that constructs the same CallGraph object and makes it
available. The idea is that in the new pass manager, the analysis pass's
'run' method returns a concrete analysis 'result'. Here, that result is
a 'CallGraph'. The 'run' method will typically do only minimal work,
deferring much of the work into the implementation of the result object
in order to be lazy about computing things, but when (like DomTree)
there is *some* up-front computation, the analysis does it prior to
handing the result back to the querying pass.
I know some of this is fairly ugly. I'm happy to change it around if
folks can suggest a cleaner interim state, but there is going to be some
amount of unavoidable ugliness during the transition period. The good
thing is that this is very limited and will naturally go away when the
old pass infrastructure goes away. It won't hang around to bother us
later.
Next up is the initial new-PM-style call graph analysis. =]
