In r339636 the alias analysis rules were changed with regards to tail calls
and byval arguments. Previously, tail calls were assumed not to alias
allocas from the current frame. This has been updated, to not assume this
for arguments with the byval attribute.
This patch aligns TailCallElim with the new rule. Tail marking can now be
more aggressive and mark more calls as tails, e.g.:
define void @test() {
%f = alloca %struct.foo
call void @bar(%struct.foo* byval %f)
ret void
}
define void @test2(%struct.foo* byval %f) {
call void @bar(%struct.foo* byval %f)
ret void
}
define void @test3(%struct.foo* byval %f) {
%agg.tmp = alloca %struct.foo
%0 = bitcast %struct.foo* %agg.tmp to i8*
%1 = bitcast %struct.foo* %f to i8*
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i64(i8* %0, i8* %1, i64 40, i1 false)
call void @bar(%struct.foo* byval %agg.tmp)
ret void
}
The problematic case where a byval parameter is captured by a call is still
handled correctly, and will not be marked as a tail (see PR7272).

most of the inliner test cases.
The inliner involves a bunch of interesting code and tends to be where
most of the issues I've seen experimenting with the new PM lie. All of
these test cases pass, but I'd like to keep some more thorough coverage
here so doing a fairly blanket enabling.
There are a handful of interesting tests I've not enabled yet because
they're focused on the always inliner, or on functionality that doesn't
(yet) exist in the inliner.

The original change broke clang side tests. I will be submitting those momentarily. This change includes post commit feedback on the original change from from Pete Cooper.
Original Submission comments:
If a parameter to a function is known non-null, use the existing parameter attributes to record that fact at the call site. This has no optimization benefit by itself - that I know of - but is an enabling change for http://reviews.llvm.org/D9129.

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)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

This restores the commit from SVN r219899 with an additional change to ensure
that the CodeGen is correct for the case that was identified as being incorrect
(originally PR7272).
In the case that during inlining we need to synthesize a value on the stack
(i.e. for passing a value byval), then any function involving that alloca must
be stripped of its tailness as the restriction that it does not access the
parent's stack no longer holds. Unfortunately, a single alloca can cause a
rippling effect through out the inlining as the value may be aliased or may be
mutated through an escaped external call. As such, we simply track if an alloca
has been introduced in the frame during inlining, and strip any tail calls.

This reverts commit r219899.
This also updates byval-tail-call.ll to make it clear what was breaking.
Adding r219899 again will cause the load/store to disappear.

Make tail recursion elimination a bit more aggressive. This allows us to get
tail recursion on functions that are just branches to a different function. The
fact that the function takes a byval argument does not restrict it from being
optimised into just a tail call.
llvm-svn: 219899
The -tailcallelim pass should be checking if byval or inalloca args can
be captured before marking calls as tail calls. This was the real root
cause of PR7272.
With a better fix in place, revert the inliner change from r105255. The
test case it introduced still passes and has been moved to
test/Transforms/Inline/byval-tail-call.ll.
