Summary:
Fixes PR26774.
If you're aware of the issue, feel free to skip the "Motivation"
section and jump directly to "This patch".
Motivation:
I define "refinement" as discarding behaviors from a program that the
optimizer has license to discard. So transforming:
```
void f(unsigned x) {
unsigned t = 5 / x;
(void)t;
}
```
to
```
void f(unsigned x) { }
```
is refinement, since the behavior went from "if x == 0 then undefined
else nothing" to "nothing" (the optimizer has license to discard
undefined behavior).
Refinement is a fundamental aspect of many mid-level optimizations done
by LLVM. For instance, transforming `x == (x + 1)` to `false` also
involves refinement since the expression's value went from "if x is
`undef` then { `true` or `false` } else { `false` }" to "`false`" (by
definition, the optimizer has license to fold `undef` to any non-`undef`
value).
Unfortunately, refinement implies that the optimizer cannot assume
that the implementation of a function it can see has all of the
behavior an unoptimized or a differently optimized version of the same
function can have. This is a problem for functions with comdat
linkage, where a function can be replaced by an unoptimized or a
differently optimized version of the same source level function.
For instance, FunctionAttrs cannot assume a comdat function is
actually `readnone` even if it does not have any loads or stores in
it; since there may have been loads and stores in the "original
function" that were refined out in the currently visible variant, and
at the link step the linker may in fact choose an implementation with
a load or a store. As an example, consider a function that does two
atomic loads from the same memory location, and writes to memory only
if the two values are not equal. The optimizer is allowed to refine
this function by first CSE'ing the two loads, and the folding the
comparision to always report that the two values are equal. Such a
refined variant will look like it is `readonly`. However, the
unoptimized version of the function can still write to memory (since
the two loads //can// result in different values), and selecting the
unoptimized version at link time will retroactively invalidate
transforms we may have done under the assumption that the function
does not write to memory.
Note: this is not just a problem with atomics or with linking
differently optimized object files. See PR26774 for more realistic
examples that involved neither.
This patch:
This change introduces a new set of linkage types, predicated as
`GlobalValue::mayBeDerefined` that returns true if the linkage type
allows a function to be replaced by a differently optimized variant at
link time. It then changes a set of IPO passes to bail out if they see
such a function.

Summary:
Available_externally global variable with initializer were considered "hasInitializer()",
while obviously it can't match the description:
Whether the global variable has an initializer, and any changes made to the
initializer will turn up in the final executable.
since modifying the initializer of an externally available variable does not make sense.

Create `SymbolTableList`, a wrapper around `iplist` for lists that
automatically manage a symbol table. This commit reduces a ton of code
duplication between the six traits classes that were used previously.
As a drive by, reduce the number of template parameters from 2 to 1 by
using a SymbolTableListParentType metafunction (I originally had this as
a separate commit, but it touched most of the same lines so I squashed
them).
I'm in the process of trying to remove the UB in `createSentinel()` (see
the FIXMEs I added for `ilist_embedded_sentinel_traits` and
`ilist_half_embedded_sentinel_traits`). My eventual goal is to separate
the list logic into a base class layer that knows nothing about (and
isn't templated on) the downcasted nodes -- removing the need to invoke
UB -- but for now I'm just trying to get a handle on all the current use
cases (and cleaning things up as I see them).
Besides these six SymbolTable lists, there are two others that use the
addNode/removeNode/transferNodes() hooks: the `MachineInstruction` and
`MachineBasicBlock` lists. Ideally there'll be a way to factor these
hooks out of the low-level API entirely, but I'm not quite there yet.

This is part of the work to devirtualize Value.
The old pattern was to call replaceUsesOfWithOnConstant which was overridden by
subclasses. Those could then call replaceUsesOfWithOnConstantImpl on Constant
to handle deleting the current value.
To be consistent with other parts of the code, this has been changed so that we
call the method on Constant, and that dispatches to an Impl on subclasses.
As part of this, it made sense to rename the methods to be more descriptive. The
new name is Constant::handleOperandChange, and it requires that all subclasses of
Constant implement handleOperandChangeImpl, even if they just throw an error if
they shouldn't be called.

The only caller of this method is Value::replaceAllUsesWith which
explicitly checks that we are not a GlobalValue. So replace the
body with an unreachable to ensure that we never call it.
The unreachable itself is moved to GlobalValue not GlobalVariable
as that is the base class of all the globals we don't want to call
this method on.
Note, this patch is short lived as i'll soon refactor all callers
of this method.

This is to try make it very clear that subclasses shouldn't be changing
the value directly. Now that OperandList for normal instructions is computed
using the NumOperands, its critical that the NumOperands is accurate or we
could compute the wrong offset to the first operand.
I looked over all places which update NumOperands and they are all safe.
Hung off use User's don't use NumOperands to compute the OperandList so they
are safe to continue to manipulate it. The only other User which changed it
was GlobalVariable which has an optional init list but always allocated space
for a single Use. It was correctly setting NumOperands to 1 before setting an
initializer, and setting it to 0 after clearing the init list, so the order was safe.
Added some comments to that code to make sure that this isn't changed in future
without being aware of this constraint.

This matches gcc's behavior. It also seems natural given that aliases
contain other properties that govern how it is accessed (linkage,
visibility, dll storage).
Clang still has to be updated to expose this feature to C.

This allows code to statically accept a Function or a GlobalVariable, but
not an alias. This is already a cleanup by itself IMHO, but the main
reason for it is that it gives a lot more confidence that the refactoring to fix
the design of GlobalAlias is correct. That will be a followup patch.

Major steps include:
1). introduces a not-addr-taken bit-field in GlobalVariable
2). GlobalOpt pass sets "not-address-taken" if it proves a global varirable
dosen't have its address taken.
3). AA use this info for disambiguation.

I am going to add in the actual test cases with the actual functionality
changes in a later patch because I want to include some test cases.
To be clear when I say no *TRUE* functionality change I mean that this
patch (like it says in the title) only contains getters/setters and sets
up a default initial value of the instance variable to false so that
this patch does not affect any other uses of Global Variable.h.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.
