The fundamental problem is that SROA didn't allow for overly wide loads
where the bits past the end of the alloca were masked away and the load
was sufficiently aligned to ensure there is no risk of page fault, or
other trapping behavior. With such widened loads, SROA would delete the
load entirely rather than clamping it to the size of the alloca in order
to allow mem2reg to fire. This was exposed by a test case that neatly
arranged for GVN to run first, widening certain loads, followed by an
inline step, and then SROA which miscompiles the code. However, I see no
reason why this hasn't been plaguing us in other contexts. It seems
deeply broken.
Diagnosing all of the above took all of 10 minutes of debugging. The
really annoying aspect is that fixing this completely breaks the pass.
;] There was an implicit reliance on the fact that no loads or stores
extended past the alloca once we decided to rewrite them in the final
stage of SROA. This was used to encode information about whether the
loads and stores had been split across multiple partitions of the
original alloca. That required threading explicit tracking of whether
a *use* of a partition is split across multiple partitions.
Once that was done, another problem arose: we allowed splitting of
integer loads and stores iff they were loads and stores to the entire
alloca. This is a really arbitrary limitation, and splitting at least
some integer loads and stores is crucial to maximize promotion
opportunities. My first attempt was to start removing the restriction
entirely, but currently that does Very Bad Things by causing *many*
common alloca patterns to be fully decomposed into i8 operations and
lots of or-ing together to produce larger integers on demand. The code
bloat is terrifying. That is still the right end-goal, but substantial
work must be done to either merge partitions or ensure that small i8
values are eagerly merged in some other pass. Sadly, figuring all this
out took essentially all the time and effort here.
So the end result is that we allow splitting only when the load or store
at least covers the alloca. That ensures widened loads and stores don't
hurt SROA, and that we don't rampantly decompose operations more than we
have previously.
All of this was already fairly well tested, and so I've just updated the
tests to cover the wide load behavior. I can add a test that crafts the
pass ordering magic which caused the original PR, but that seems really
brittle and to provide little benefit. The fundamental problem is that
widened loads should Just Work.

Also add a comment on Version[4] (there will be another comment in clang later),

This doesn't reset all of the target options within the TargetOptions
object. This is because some of those are ABI-specific and must be determined if
it's okay to change those on the fly.

This is the next step towards making the metadata for DIScopes have a common
prefix rather than having to delegate based on their tag type.

This could be 'null' or the empty string, DIDescriptor::getStringField
coalesces the two cases anyway so it's just a matter of legible/efficient
representation.
The change in behavior of the DICompileUnit::get* functions could be
subsumed by the full verification check - but ideally that should just be an
assertion if we could front-load the actual debug info metadata failure paths.

Increase the cost of v8/v16-i8 to v8/v16-i32 casts and truncates as the backend
currently lowers those using stack accesses.
This was responsible for a significant degradation on
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Trimaran/enc-pc1/enc-pc1
where we vectorize one loop to a vector factor of 16. After this patch we select
a vector factor of 4 which will generate reasonable code.

DW_FORM_ref_addr should be used for cross compile-unit reference.
When compiling a large application, we got a dwarfdump verification error where
abstract_origin points to nowhere.
This error can't be reproduced on any testing case in MultiSource.
We may have other cases where we use DW_FORM_ref4 unconditionally.

return 0 to indicate failure to create the disassembler. A library routine
should not assert and just let the caller handler the error. For example
darwin's otool(1) will simply print an error if it ends up using a library
that is not configured for a target it wants:
% otool -tv ViewController.o
ViewController.o:
(__TEXT,__text) section
can't create arm llvm disassembler
This is much better than an abort which appears as a crash to the user or
even the assert when using a Debug+Asserts built library:
Assertion failed: (MAI && "Unable to create target asm info!"), function LLVMCreateDisasmCPU, file /Volumes/SandBox/llvm/lib/MC/MCDisassembler/Disassembler.cpp, line 47.

This pass is meant to be immutable, however it holds mutable state to cache StructLayouts.
This method will allow the pass manager to clear the mutable state between runs.
Note that unfortunately it is still necessary to have the destructor, even though it does the
same thing as doFinalization. This is because most TargetMachines embed a DataLayout on which
doFinalization isn't run as its never added to the pass manager.
I also didn't think it was necessary to complication things with a deInit method for which
doFinalization and ~DataLayout both call as there's only one field of mutable state. If we had
more fields to finalize i'd have added this.

Now that only the register-scavenger version of the CR spilling code remains,
we no longer need the Darwin R2 hack. Darwin can use R0 as a spare register in
any case where the System V ABI uses it (R0 is special architecturally, and so
is reserved under all common ABIs).
A few test cases needed to be updated to reflect the register-allocation changes.
llvm-svn: 176868
This removes the -disable-ppc[32|64]-regscavenger options; the code
that uses the register scavenger has been working well (and has been the default)
for some time, and we don't need options to enable the old (broken) CR spilling code.

Nadav reported a performance regression due to the work I did to
merge the library call simplifier into instcombine [1]. The issue
is that a new LibCallSimplifier object is being created whenever
InstCombiner::runOnFunction is called. Every time a LibCallSimplifier
object is used to optimize a call it creates a hash table to map from
a function name to an object that optimizes functions of that name.
For short-lived LibCallSimplifier instances this is quite inefficient.
Especially for cases where no calls are actually simplified.
This patch fixes the issue by dropping the hash table and implementing
an explicit lookup function to correlate the function name to the object
that optimizes functions of that name. This avoids the cost of always
building and destroying the hash table in cases where the LibCallSimplifier
object is short-lived and avoids the cost of building the table when no
simplifications are actually preformed.
On a benchmark containing 100,000 calls where none of them are simplified
I noticed a 30% speedup. On a benchmark containing 100,000 calls where
all of them are simplified I noticed an 8% speedup.

Versioned debug info support has been a burden to maintain & also compromised
current debug info verification by causing test cases testing old debug info to
remain rather than being updated to the latest. It also makes it hard to add or
change the metadata schema by requiring various backwards-compatibility in the
DI* hierarchy.
So it's being removed in preparation for new changes to the schema to tidy up
old/unnecessary fields and add new fields needed for new debug info (well, new
to LLVM at least).
The more surprising part of this is the changes to DI*::Verify - this became
necessary due to the changes to AsmWriter. AsmWriter was relying on the version
test to decide which bits of metadata were actually debug info when printing
the comment annotations. Without the version information the tag numbers were
too common & it would print debug info on random metadata that happened to
start with an integer that matched a tag number. Instead this change makes the
Verify functions more precise (just adding "number of operands" checks - not
type checking those operands yet) & relies on that to decide which metadata is
debug info metadata.
