For pointer-typed function arguments, enhanced alignment can be asserted using
the 'align' attribute. When inlining, if this enhanced alignment information is
not otherwise available, preserve it using @llvm.assume-based alignment
assumptions.

argument of the llvm.dbg.declare/llvm.dbg.value intrinsics.
Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.
The new intrinsics look like this:
declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect
and pretty-print DIExpression metadata nodes.
What this patch doesn't do:
This patch does not touch the "Indirect" field in DIVariable; but moving
that into the expression would be a natural next step.

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).
llvm-svn: 217335
This feeds AA through the IFI structure into the inliner so that
AddAliasScopeMetadata can use AA->getModRefBehavior to figure out which
functions only access their arguments (instead of just hard-coding some
knowledge of memory intrinsics). Most of the information is only available from
BasicAA; this is important for preserving alias scoping information for
target-specific intrinsics when doing the noalias parameter attribute to
metadata conversion.
llvm-svn: 216866
I thought that I had fixed this problem in r216818, but I did not do a very
good job. The underlying issue is that when we add alias.scope metadata we are
asserting that this metadata completely describes the aliasing relationships
within the current aliasing scope domain, and so in the context of translating
noalias argument attributes, the pointers must all be based on noalias
arguments (as underlying objects) and have no other kind of underlying object.
In r216818 excluding appropriate accesses from getting alias.scope metadata is
done by looking for underlying objects that are not identified function-local
objects -- but that's wrong because allocas, etc. are also function-local
objects and we need to explicitly check that all underlying objects are the
noalias arguments for which we're adding metadata aliasing scopes.
This fixes the underlying-object check for adding alias.scope metadata, and
does some refactoring of the related capture-checking eligibility logic (and
adds more comments; hopefully making everything a bit clearer).
Fixes self-hosting on x86_64 with -mllvm -enable-noalias-to-md-conversion (the
feature is still disabled by default).
llvm-svn: 216863
The previous implementation of AddAliasScopeMetadata, which adds noalias
metadata to preserve noalias parameter attribute information when inlining had
a flaw: it would add alias.scope metadata to accesses which might have been
derived from pointers other than noalias function parameters. This was
incorrect because even some access known not to alias with all noalias function
parameters could easily alias with an access derived from some other pointer.
Instead, when deriving from some unknown pointer, we cannot add alias.scope
metadata at all. This fixes a miscompile of the test-suite's tramp3d-v4.
Furthermore, we cannot add alias.scope to functions unless we know they
access only argument-derived pointers (currently, we know this only for
memory intrinsics).
Also, we fix a theoretical problem with using the NoCapture attribute to skip
the capture check. This is incorrect (as explained in the comment added), but
would not matter in any code generated by Clang because we get only inferred
nocapture attributes in Clang-generated IR.
This functionality is not yet enabled by default.

Summary:
There is no functionality change here except in the way we assemble and
dump musttail calls in variadic functions. There's really no need to
separate out the bits for musttail and "is forwarding varargs" on call
instructions. A musttail call by definition has to forward the ellipsis
or it would fail verification.

When a call site with noalias metadata is inlined, that metadata can be
propagated directly to the inlined instructions (only those that might access
memory because it is not useful on the others). Prior to inlining, the noalias
metadata could express that a call would not alias with some other memory
access, which implies that no instruction within that called function would
alias. By propagating the metadata to the inlined instructions, we preserve
that knowledge.
This should complete the enhancements requested in PR20500.
llvm-svn: 215676
When preserving noalias function parameter attributes by adding noalias
metadata in the inliner, we should do this for general function calls (not just
memory intrinsics). The logic is very similar to what already existed (except
that we want to add this metadata even for functions taking no relevant
parameters). This metadata can be used by ModRef queries in the caller after
inlining.
This addresses the first part of PR20500. Adding noalias metadata during
inlining is still turned off by default.
llvm-svn: 215657
This functionality is currently turned off by default.
Part of the motivation for introducing scoped-noalias metadata is to enable the
preservation of noalias parameter attribute information after inlining.
Sometimes this can be inferred from the code in the caller after inlining, but
often we simply lose valuable information.
The overall process if fairly simple:
1. Create a new unqiue scope domain.
2. For each (used) noalias parameter, create a new alias scope.
3. For each pointer, collect the underlying objects. Add a noalias scope for
each noalias parameter from which we're not derived (and has not been
captured prior to that point).
4. Add an alias.scope for each noalias parameter from which we might be
derived (or has been captured before that point).
Note that the capture checks apply only if one of the underlying objects is not
an identified function-local object.
llvm-svn: 213949
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.
Test case ./tools/clang/test/CodeGen/indirect-goto.c will fail as a result
of this commit.

This both improves basic debug info quality, but also fixes a larger

Summary:
This adds two new diagnostics: -pass-remarks-missed and
-pass-remarks-analysis. They take the same values as -pass-remarks but
are intended to be triggered in different contexts.
-pass-remarks-missed is used by LLVMContext::emitOptimizationRemarkMissed,
which passes call when they tried to apply a transformation but
couldn't.
-pass-remarks-analysis is used by LLVMContext::emitOptimizationRemarkAnalysis,
which passes call when they want to inform the user about analysis
results.
The patch also:
1- Adds support in the inliner for the two new remarks and a
test case.
2- Moves emitOptimizationRemark* functions to the llvm namespace.
3- Adds an LLVMContext argument instead of making them member functions
of LLVMContext.

Instead of merging control flow from the inlined return instruction

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.

225 is the default value of inline-threshold. This change will make sure
we have the same inlining behavior as prior to r200886.
As Chandler points out, even though we don't have code in our testing
suite that uses cold attribute, there are larger applications that do
use cold attribute.
r200886 + this commit intend to keep the same behavior as prior to r200886.
We can later on tune the inlinecold-threshold.
The main purpose of r200886 is to help performance of instrumentation based
PGO before we actually hook up inliner with analysis passes such as BPI and BFI.
For instrumentation based PGO, we try to increase inlining of hot functions and
reduce inlining of cold functions by setting inlinecold-threshold.
Another option suggested by Chandler is to use a boolean flag that controls
if we should use OptSizeThreshold for cold functions. The default value
of the boolean flag should not change the current behavior. But it gives us
less freedom in controlling inlining of cold functions.

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.

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

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.

Before this change, inlining one "invoke" into an outer "invoke" call
site can lead to the outer landingpad's catch/filter clauses being
copied multiple times into the resulting landingpad. This happens:
* when the inlined function contains multiple "resume" instructions,
because forwardResume() copies the clauses but is called multiple
times;
* when the inlined function contains a "resume" and a "call", because
HandleCallsInBlockInlinedThroughInvoke() copies the clauses but is
redundant with forwardResume().
Fix this by deduplicating the code.
This problem doesn't lead to any incorrect execution; it's only
untidy.

propagating one of the values it simplified to a constant across
a myriad of instructions. Notably, ptrtoint instructions when we had
a constant pointer (say, 0) didn't propagate that, blocking a massive
number of down-stream optimizations.
This was uncovered when investigating why we fail to inline and delete
the boilerplate in:
void f() {
std::vector<int> v;
v.push_back(1);
}
It turns out most of the efforts I've made thus far to improve the
analysis weren't making it far purely because of this. After this is
fixed, the store-to-load forwarding patch enables LLVM to optimize the
above to an empty function. We still can't nuke a second push_back, but
for different reasons.

how to propagate constants through insert and extract value

With the recent improvements to instsimplify, this allows inline cost
analysis to constant fold through intrinsic functions, including notably

STL abstractions. This is yet another piece in the puzzle of breaking
down the code for:
void f() {

}
But it still isn't enough. There are a pile of bugs in inline cost still
blocking this.

We give a bonus for every argument because the argument setup is not needed
anymore when the function is inlined. With this patch we interpret byval
arguments as a compact representation of many arguments. The byval argument
setup is implemented in the backend as an inline memcpy, so to model the
cost as accurately as possible we take the number of pointer-sized elements
in the byval argument and give a bonus of 2 instructions for every one of
those. The bonus is capped at 8 elements, which is the number of stores
at which the x86 backend switches from an expanded inline memcpy to a real
memcpy. It would be better to use the real memcpy threshold from the backend,
but it's not available via TargetData.
This change brings the performance of c-ray in line with gcc 4.7. The included
test case tries to reproduce the c-ray problem to catch regressions for this
benchmark early, its performance is dominated by the inline decision of a
specific call.
This only has a small impact on most code, more on x86 and arm than on x86_64
due to the way the ABI works. When building LLVM for x86 it gives a small
inline cost boost to virtually any function using StringRef or STL allocators,
but only a 0.01% increase in overall binary size. The size of gcc compiled by
clang actually shrunk by a couple bytes with this patch applied, but not
significantly.

instsimplify+inline strategy.
The crux of the problem is that instsimplify was reasonably relying on
an invariant that is true within any single function, but is no longer
true mid-inline the way we use it. This invariant is that an argument
pointer != a local (alloca) pointer.
The fix is really light weight though, and allows instsimplify to be
resiliant to these situations: when checking the relation ships to
function arguments, ensure that the argumets come from the same

another mechanical change accomplished though the power of terrible Perl
scripts.
I have manually switched some "s to 's to make escaping simpler.
While I started this to fix tests that aren't run in all configurations,
the massive number of tests is due to a really frustrating fragility of
our testing infrastructure: things like 'grep -v', 'not grep', and
'expected failures' can mask broken tests all too easily.
Essentially, I'm deeply disturbed that I can change the testsuite so
radically without causing any change in results for most platforms. =/

This was done through the aid of a terrible Perl creation. I will not
paste any of the horrors here. Suffice to say, it require multiple
staged rounds of replacements, state carried between, and a few
nested-construct-parsing hacks that I'm not proud of. It happens, by
luck, to be able to deal with all the TCL-quoting patterns in evidence
in the LLVM test suite.
If anyone is maintaining large out-of-tree test trees, feel free to poke
me and I'll send you the steps I used to convert things, as well as
answer any painful questions etc. IRC works best for this type of thing
I find.
Once converted, switch the LLVM lit config to use ShTests the same as
Clang. In addition to being able to delete large amounts of Python code
from 'lit', this will also simplify the entire test suite and some of
lit's architecture.
Finally, the test suite runs 33% faster on Linux now. ;]

we end up having a bogus poniter to a return instruction that blows up
much further down the road.
It turns out that this pattern is both simpler to code, easier to update

given that it won't add dead instructions to the list.

on a per-callsite walk of the called function's instructions, in
breadth-first order over the potentially reachable set of basic blocks.
This is a major shift in how inline cost analysis works to improve the
accuracy and rationality of inlining decisions. A brief outline of the
algorithm this moves to:
- Build a simplification mapping based on the callsite arguments to the
function arguments.
- Push the entry block onto a worklist of potentially-live basic blocks.
- Pop the first block off of the *front* of the worklist (for
breadth-first ordering) and walk its instructions using a custom
InstVisitor.
- For each instruction's operands, re-map them based on the
simplification mappings available for the given callsite.
- Compute any simplification possible of the instruction after
re-mapping, and store that back int othe simplification mapping.
- Compute any bonuses, costs, or other impacts of the instruction on the
cost metric.
- When the terminator is reached, replace any conditional value in the
terminator with any simplifications from the mapping we have, and add
any successors which are not proven to be dead from these
simplifications to the worklist.
- Pop the next block off of the front of the worklist, and repeat.
- As soon as the cost of inlining exceeds the threshold for the
callsite, stop analyzing the function in order to bound cost.
The primary goal of this algorithm is to perfectly handle dead code
paths. We do not want any code in trivially dead code paths to impact
inlining decisions. The previous metric was *extremely* flawed here, and
would always subtract the average cost of two successors of
a conditional branch when it was proven to become an unconditional
branch at the callsite. There was no handling of wildly different costs
between the two successors, which would cause inlining when the path
actually taken was too large, and no inlining when the path actually
taken was trivially simple. There was also no handling of the code
*path*, only the immediate successors. These problems vanish completely
now. See the added regression tests for the shiny new features -- we
skip recursive function calls, SROA-killing instructions, and high cost
complex CFG structures when dead at the callsite being analyzed.
Switching to this algorithm required refactoring the inline cost
interface to accept the actual threshold rather than simply returning
a single cost. The resulting interface is pretty bad, and I'm planning
to do lots of interface cleanup after this patch.
Several other refactorings fell out of this, but I've tried to minimize
them for this patch. =/ There is still more cleanup that can be done
here. Please point out anything that you see in review.
I've worked really hard to try to mirror at least the spirit of all of
the previous heuristics in the new model. It's not clear that they are
all correct any more, but I wanted to minimize the change in this single
patch, it's already a bit ridiculous. One heuristic that is *not* yet
mirrored is to allow inlining of functions with a dynamic alloca *if*
the caller has a dynamic alloca. I will add this back, but I think the
most reasonable way requires changes to the inliner itself rather than
just the cost metric, and so I've deferred this for a subsequent patch.
The test case is XFAIL-ed until then.
As mentioned in the review mail, this seems to make Clang run about 1%
to 2% faster in -O0, but makes its binary size grow by just under 4%.
I've looked into the 4% growth, and it can be fixed, but requires
changes to other parts of the inliner.

aggressively. There are lots of dire warnings about this being expensive
that seem to predate switching to the TrackingVH-based value remapper
that is automatically updated on RAUW. This makes it easy to not just
prune single-entry PHIs, but to fully simplify PHIs, and to recursively
simplify the newly inlined code to propagate PHINode simplifications.
This introduces a bit of a thorny problem though. We may end up
simplifying a branch condition to a constant when we fold PHINodes, and
we would like to nuke any dead blocks resulting from this so that time
isn't wasted continually analyzing them, but this isn't easy. Deleting
basic blocks *after* they are fully cloned and mapped into the new
function currently requires manually updating the value map. The last
piece of the simplification-during-inlining puzzle will require either
switching to WeakVH mappings or some other piece of refactoring. I've
left a FIXME in the testcase about this.
llvm-svn: 153410
to instead rely on much more generic and powerful instruction
simplification in the function cloner (and thus inliner).
This teaches the pruning function cloner to use instsimplify rather than
just the constant folder to fold values during cloning. This can
simplify a large number of things that constant folding alone cannot
begin to touch. For example, it will realize that 'or' and 'and'
instructions with certain constant operands actually become constants
regardless of what their other operand is. It also can thread back
through the caller to perform simplifications that are only possible by
looking up a few levels. In particular, GEPs and pointer testing tend to
fold much more heavily with this change.
This should (in some cases) have a positive impact on compile times with
optimizations on because the inliner itself will simply avoid cloning
a great deal of code. It already attempted to prune proven-dead code,
but now it will be use the stronger simplifications to prove more code
dead.

regressed seriously here, we are no longer removing allocas during

It was added in 2007 as the first cut at supporting no-inline
attributes, but we didn't have function attributes of any form at the
time. However, it was added without any mention in the LangRef or other
documentation.
Later on, in 2008, Devang added function notes for 'inline=never' and
then turned them into proper function attributes. From that point
onward, as far as I can tell, the world moved on, and no one has touched
'llvm.noinline' in any meaningful way since.
It's time has now come. We have had better mechanisms for doing this for
a long time, all the frontends I'm aware of use them, and this is just
holding back progress. Given that it was never a documented feature of
the IR, I've provided no auto-upgrade support. If people know of real,
in-the-wild bitcode that relies on this, yell at me and I'll add it, but
I *seriously* doubt anyone cares.

correlated pairs of pointer arguments at the callsite. This is designed
to recognize the common C++ idiom of begin/end pointer pairs when the
end pointer is a constant offset from the begin pointer. With the
C-based idiom of a pointer and size, the inline cost saw the constant
size calculation, and this provides the same level of information for
begin/end pairs.
In order to propagate this information we have to search for candidate
operations on a pair of pointer function arguments (or derived from
them) which would be simplified if the pointers had a known constant
offset. Then the callsite analysis looks for such pointer pairs in the
argument list, and applies the appropriate bonus.
This helps LLVM detect that half of bounds-checked STL algorithms
(such as hash_combine_range, and some hybrid sort implementations)
disappear when inlined with a constant size input. However, it's not
a complete fix due the inaccuracy of our cost metric for constants in
general. I'm looking into that next.
Benchmarks showed no significant code size change, and very minor
performance changes. However, specific code such as hashing is showing
significantly cleaner inlining decisions.

candidate set for subsequent inlining, try to simplify the arguments to
the inner call site now that inlining has been performed.
The goal here is to propagate and fold constants through deeply nested
call chains. Without doing this, we loose the inliner bonus that should
be applied because the arguments don't match the exact pattern the cost
estimator uses.

introduced. Specifically, there are cost reductions for all
constant-operand icmp instructions against an alloca, regardless of
whether the alloca will in fact be elligible for SROA. That means we
don't want to abort the icmp reduction computation when we abort the
SROA reduction computation. That in turn frees us from the need to keep
a separate worklist and defer the ICmp calculations.
Use this new-found freedom and some judicious function boundaries to
factor the innards of computing the cost factor of any given instruction
out of the loop over the instructions and into static helper functions.
This greatly simplifies the code, and hopefully makes it more clear what
is happening here.
Reviewed by Eric Christopher. There is some concern that we'd like to
ensure this doesn't get out of hand, and I plan to benchmark the effects
of this change over the next few days along with some further fixes to
the inline cost.

pad, separating the exception and selector calls from the new lpad. Teaching
it not to do that, or to properly adjust the CFG afterwards, is out of
scope because it would require the other edges to the landing pad to be split
as well (effectively). Instead, just recover from the most likely cases
during inlining. The best long-term solution is to change the exception
representation and commit to either requiring or not requiring the more
complex edge-splitting logic; this is just a shorter-term hack.

transformed by the inliner into a branch to the enclosing landing pad
(when inlined through an invoke). If not so optimized, it is lowered
DWARF EH preparation into a call to _Unwind_Resume (or _Unwind_SjLj_Resume
as appropriate). Its chief advantage is that it takes both the
exception value and the selector value as arguments, meaning that there
is zero effort in recovering these; however, the frontend is required
to pass these down, which is not actually particularly difficult.
Also document the behavior of landing pads a bit better, and make it
clearer that it's okay that personality functions don't always land at
landing pads. This is just a fact of life. Don't write optimizations that
rely on pushing things over an unwind edge.
llvm-svn: 132253
- the selector for the landing pad must provide all available information
about the handlers, filters, and cleanups within that landing pad
- calls to _Unwind_Resume must be converted to branches to the enclosing
lpad so as to avoid re-entering the unwinder when the lpad claimed it
was going to handle the exception in some way
This is quite specific to libUnwind-based unwinding. In an effort to not
interfere too badly with other unwinders, and with existing hacks in frontends,
this only triggers on _Unwind_Resume (not _Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow) and does
nothing with selectors if it cannot find a selector call for either lpad.

that can have a big effect :). The first is to enable the
iterative SCC passmanager juice that kicks in when the
scc passmgr detects that a function pass has devirtualized
a call. In this case, it will rerun all the passes it
manages on the SCC, up to the iteration count limit (4). This
is useful because a function pass may devirualize a call, and
we want the inliner to inline it, or pruneeh to infer stuff
about it, etc.
The second patch is to add *all* call sites to the
DevirtualizedCalls list the inliner uses. This list is
about to get renamed, but the jist of this is that the
inliner now reconsiders *all* inlined call sites as candidates
for further inlining. The intuition is this that in cases
like this:
f() { g(1); } g(int x) { h(x); }
We analyze this bottom up, and may decide that it isn't
profitable to inline H into G. Next step, we decide that it is
profitable to inline G into F, and do so, which means that F
now calls H. Even though the call from G -> H may not have been
profitable to inline, the call from F -> H may be (in this case
because a constant allows folding etc).
In my spot checks, this doesn't have a big impact on code. For
example, the LLC output for 252.eon grew from 0.02% (from
317252 to 317308) and 176.gcc actually shrunk by .3% (from 1525612
to 1520964 bytes). 252.eon never iterated in the SCC Passmgr,
176.gcc iterated at most 1 time.

that appear due to inlining a callee as candidates for
futher inlining, but a recent patch made it do this if
those call sites were indirect and became direct.
Unfortunately, in bizarre cases (see testcase) doing this
can cause us to infinitely inline mutually recursive
functions into callers not in the cycle. Fix this by
keeping track of the inline history from which callsite
inline candidates got inlined from.
This shouldn't affect any "real world" code, but is required
for a follow on patch that is coming up next.

were still inlining self-recursive functions into other functions.
Inlining a recursive function into itself has the potential to
reduce recursion depth by a factor of 2, inlining a recursive
function into something else reduces recursion depth by exactly
1. Since inlining a recursive function into something else is a
weird form of loop peeling, turn this off.
The deleted testcase was added by Dale in r62107, since then
we're leaning towards not inlining recursive stuff ever. In any
case, if we like inlining recursive stuff, it should be done
within the recursive function itself to get the algorithm
recursion depth win.
