Chandler Carruth	6150530377	[PM] Make the AnalysisManager parameter to run methods a reference. ... This was originally a pointer to support pass managers which didn't use AnalysisManagers. However, that doesn't realistically come up much and the complexity of supporting it doesn't really make sense. In fact, *many* parts of the pass manager were just assuming the pointer was never null already. This at least makes it much more explicit and clear. llvm-svn: 263219	2016-03-11 11:05:24 +00:00
Chandler Carruth	e597ed0112	[AA] Hoist the logic to reformulate various AA queries in terms of other ... parts of the AA interface out of the base class of every single AA result object. Because this logic reformulates the query in terms of some other aspect of the API, it would easily cause O(n^2) query patterns in alias analysis. These could in turn be magnified further based on the number of call arguments, and then further based on the number of AA queries made for a particular call. This ended up causing problems for Rust that were actually noticable enough to get a bug (PR26564) and probably other places as well. When originally re-working the AA infrastructure, the desire was to regularize the pattern of refinement without losing any generality. While I think it was successful, that is clearly proving to be too costly. And the cost is needless: we gain no actual improvement for this generality of making a direct query to tbaa actually be able to re-use some other alias analysis's refinement logic for one of the other APIs, or some such. In short, this is entirely wasted work. To the extent possible, delegation to other API surfaces should be done at the aggregation layer so that we can avoid re-walking the aggregation. In fact, this significantly simplifies the logic as we no longer need to smuggle the aggregation layer into each alias analysis (or the TargetLibraryInfo into each alias analysis just so we can form argument memory locations!). However, we also have some delegation logic inside of BasicAA and some of it even makes sense. When the delegation logic is baking in specific knowledge of aliasing properties of the LLVM IR, as opposed to simply reformulating the query to utilize a different alias analysis interface entry point, it makes a lot of sense to restrict that logic to a different layer such as BasicAA. So one aspect of the delegation that was in every AA base class is that when we don't have operand bundles, we re-use function AA results as a fallback for callsite alias results. This relies on the IR properties of calls and functions w.r.t. aliasing, and so seems a better fit to BasicAA. I've lifted the logic up to that point where it seems to be a natural fit. This still does a bit of redundant work (we query function attributes twice, once via the callsite and once via the function AA query) but it is *exactly* twice here, no more. The end result is that all of the delegation logic is hoisted out of the base class and into either the aggregation layer when it is a pure retargeting to a different API surface, or into BasicAA when it relies on the IR's aliasing properties. This should fix the quadratic query pattern reported in PR26564, although I don't have a stand-alone test case to reproduce it. It also seems general goodness. Now the numerous AAs that don't need target library info don't carry it around and depend on it. I think I can even rip out the general access to the aggregation layer and only expose that in BasicAA as it is the only place where we re-query in that manner. However, this is a non-trivial change to the AA infrastructure so I want to get some additional eyes on this before it lands. Sadly, it can't wait long because we should really cherry pick this into 3.8 if we're going to go this route.

Chandler Carruth	a25189ea0f	[PM] Introduce CRTP mixin base classes to help define passes and ... analyses in the new pass manager. These just handle really basic stuff: turning a type name into a string statically that is nice to print in logs, and getting a static unique ID for each analysis. Sadly, the format of passes in anonymous namespaces makes using their names in tests really annoying so I've customized the names of the no-op passes to keep tests sane to read. This is the first of a few simplifying refactorings for the new pass manager that should reduce boilerplate and confusion. llvm-svn: 262004	2016-02-26 11:44:45 +00:00
Chandler Carruth	d7003090ac	[PM/AA] Rebuild LLVM's alias analysis infrastructure in a way compatible ... with the new pass manager, and no longer relying on analysis groups. This builds essentially a ground-up new AA infrastructure stack for LLVM. The core ideas are the same that are used throughout the new pass manager: type erased polymorphism and direct composition. The design is as follows: - FunctionAAResults is a type-erasing alias analysis results aggregation interface to walk a single query across a range of results from different alias analyses. Currently this is function-specific as we always assume that aliasing queries are *within* a function. - AAResultBase is a CRTP utility providing stub implementations of various parts of the alias analysis result concept, notably in several cases in terms of other more general parts of the interface. This can be used to implement only a narrow part of the interface rather than the entire interface. This isn't really ideal, this logic should be hoisted into FunctionAAResults as currently it will cause a significant amount of redundant work, but it faithfully models the behavior of the prior infrastructure. - All the alias analysis passes are ported to be wrapper passes for the legacy PM and new-style analysis passes for the new PM with a shared result object. In some cases (most notably CFL), this is an extremely naive approach that we should revisit when we can specialize for the new pass manager. - BasicAA has been restructured to reflect that it is much more fundamentally a function analysis because it uses dominator trees and loop info that need to be constructed for each function. All of the references to getting alias analysis results have been updated to use the new aggregation interface. All the preservation and other pass management code has been updated accordingly. The way the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass works is to detect the available alias analyses when run, and add them to the results object. This means that we should be able to continue to respect when various passes are added to the pipeline, for example adding CFL or adding TBAA passes should just cause their results to be available and to get folded into this. The exception to this rule is BasicAA which really needs to be a function pass due to using dominator trees and loop info. As a consequence, the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass directly depends on BasicAA and always includes it in the aggregation. This has significant implications for preserving analyses. Generally, most passes shouldn't bother preserving FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass because rebuilding the results just updates the set of known AA passes. The exception to this rule are LoopPass instances which need to preserve all the function analyses that the loop pass manager will end up needing. This means preserving both BasicAAWrapperPass and the aggregating FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass. Now, when preserving an alias analysis, you do so by directly preserving that analysis. This is only necessary for non-immutable-pass-provided alias analyses though, and there are only three of interest: BasicAA, GlobalsAA (formerly GlobalsModRef), and SCEVAA. Usually BasicAA is preserved when needed because it (like DominatorTree and LoopInfo) is marked as a CFG-only pass. I've expanded GlobalsAA into the preserved set everywhere we previously were preserving all of AliasAnalysis, and I've added SCEVAA in the intersection of that with where we preserve SCEV itself. One significant challenge to all of this is that the CGSCC passes were actually using the alias analysis implementations by taking advantage of a pretty amazing set of loop holes in the old pass manager's analysis management code which allowed analysis groups to slide through in many cases. Moving away from analysis groups makes this problem much more obvious. To fix it, I've leveraged the flexibility the design of the new PM components provides to just directly construct the relevant alias analyses for the relevant functions in the IPO passes that need them. This is a bit hacky, but should go away with the new pass manager, and is already in many ways cleaner than the prior state. Another significant challenge is that various facilities of the old alias analysis infrastructure just don't fit any more. The most significant of these is the alias analysis 'counter' pass. That pass relied on the ability to snoop on AA queries at different points in the analysis group chain. Instead, I'm planning to build printing functionality directly into the aggregation layer. I've not included that in this patch merely to keep it smaller. Note that all of this needs a nearly complete rewrite of the AA documentation. I'm planning to do that, but I'd like to make sure the new design settles, and to flesh out a bit more of what it looks like in the new pass manager first.

Chandler Carruth	e93d4cc138	[ARC] Pull the ObjC ARC components that really serve the role of ... analyses into LLVM's Analysis library rather than having them in a Transforms library. This is motivated by the need to have the core AliasAnalysis infrastructure be aware of the ObjCARCAliasAnalysis. However, it also seems like a nice and clean separation. Everything was very easy to move and this doesn't create much clutter in the analysis library IMO. Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D12133 llvm-svn: 245541	2015-08-20 08:06:03 +00:00
