BasicAA contains knowledge of certain intrinsics, such as memcpy and memset,
and uses that information to form more-accurate answers to CallSite vs. Loc
ModRef queries. Unfortunately, it did not use this information when answering
CallSite vs. CallSite queries.
Generically, when an intrinsic takes one or more pointers and the intrinsic is
marked only to read/write from its arguments, the offset/size is unknown. As a
result, the generic code that answers CallSite vs. CallSite (and CallSite vs.
Loc) queries in AA uses UnknownSize when forming Locs from an intrinsic's
arguments. While BasicAA's CallSite vs. Loc override could use more-accurate
size information for some intrinsics, it did not do the same for CallSite vs.
CallSite queries.
This change refactors the intrinsic-specific logic in BasicAA into a generic AA
query function: getArgLocation, which is overridden by BasicAA to supply the
intrinsic-specific knowledge, and used by AA's generic implementation. This
allows the intrinsic-specific knowledge to be used by both CallSite vs. Loc and
CallSite vs. CallSite queries, and simplifies the BasicAA implementation.
Currently, only one function, Mac's memset_pattern16, is handled by BasicAA
(all the rest are intrinsics). As a side-effect of this refactoring, BasicAA's
getModRefBehavior override now also returns OnlyAccessesArgumentPointees for
this function (which is an improvement).

When INT_MIN is the numerator in a sdiv, we would not properly handle
overflow when calculating the bounds of possible values; abs(INT_MIN) is
not a meaningful number.
Instead, check and handle INT_MIN by reasoning that the largest value is
INT_MIN/-2 and the smallest value is INT_MIN.
This fixes PR20199.

This patch:
1) Improves the cost model for x86 alternate shuffles (originally
added at revision 211339);
2) Teaches the Cost Model Analysis pass how to analyze alternate shuffles.
Alternate shuffles are a special kind of blend; on x86, we can often
easily lowered alternate shuffled into single blend
instruction (depending on the subtarget features).
The existing cost model didn't take into account subtarget features.
Also, it had a couple of "dead" entries for vector types that are never
legal (example: on x86 types v2i32 and v2f32 are not legal; those are
always either promoted or widened to 128-bit vector types).
The new x86 cost model takes into account what target features we have
before returning the shuffle cost (i.e. the number of instructions
after the blend is lowered/expanded).
This patch also teaches the Cost Model Analysis how to identify and analyze
alternate shuffles (i.e. 'SK_Alternate' shufflevector instructions):
- added function 'isAlternateVectorMask';
- added some logic to check if an instruction is a alternate shuffle and, in
case, call the target specific TTI to get the corresponding shuffle cost;
- added a test to verify the cost model analysis on alternate shuffles.

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.

string_ostream is a safe and efficient string builder that combines opaque
stack storage with a built-in ostream interface.
small_string_ostream<bytes> additionally permits an explicit stack storage size
other than the default 128 bytes to be provided. Beyond that, storage is
transferred to the heap.
This convenient class can be used in most places an
std::string+raw_string_ostream pair or SmallString<>+raw_svector_ostream pair
would previously have been used, in order to guarantee consistent access
without byte truncation.
The patch also converts much of LLVM to use the new facility. These changes
include several probable bug fixes for truncated output, a programming error
that's no longer possible with the new interface.

Summary:
With this patch, range metadata can be added to call/invoke including
IntrinsicInst. Previously, it could only be added to load.
Rename computeKnownBitsLoad to computeKnownBitsFromRangeMetadata because
range metadata is not only used by load.
Update the language reference to reflect this change.
Test Plan:
Add several tests in range-2.ll to confirm the verifier is happy with
having range metadata on call/invoke.
Add two tests in AddOverFlow.ll to confirm annotating range metadata to
call/invoke can benefit InstCombine.

Support headers shouldn't use config.h definitions, and they should never be
undefined like this.
ConstantFolding.cpp was the only user of this facility and already includes
config.h for other math features, so it makes sense to move the checks there at
point of use.
(The implicit config.h was also quite dangerous -- removing the FEnv.h include
would have silently disabled math constant folding without causing any tests to
fail. Need to investigate -Wundef once the cleanup is done.)
This eliminates the last config.h include from LLVM headers, paving the way for
more consistent configuration checks.

It includes a pass that rewrites all indirect calls to jumptable functions to pass through these tables.
This also adds backend support for generating the jump-instruction tables on ARM and X86.
Note that since the jumptable attribute creates a second function pointer for a
function, any function marked with jumptable must also be marked with unnamed_addr.

so Numerator - Remainder is equal to Numerator and so we would recursively ask

This is a corner case I have stumbled upon when dealing with ARM64 type
conversions. I was not able to extract a testcase for the community codebase to
fail on. The patch conservatively discards a division that would have ended up
in an ICE due to a type mismatch when building a multiply expression. I have
also added code to a place that builds add expressions and in which we should be
careful not to pass in operands of different types.

We do not need to compute the GCD anymore after we removed the constant
coefficients from the terms: the terms are now all parametric expressions and
there is no need to recognize constant terms that divide only a subset of the
terms. We only rely on the size of the terms, i.e., the number of operands in
the multiply expressions, to sort the terms and recognize the parametric
dimensions.
llvm-svn: 209693
No functional change is intended: instead of relying on the delinearization to
come up with the base pointer as a remainder of the divisions in the
delinearization, we just compute it from the array access and use that value.
We substract the base pointer from the SCEV to be delinearized and that
simplifies the work of the delinearizer.
llvm-svn: 209692
The delinearization is needed only to remove the non linearity induced by
expressions involving multiplications of parameters and induction variables.
There is no problem in dealing with constant times parameters, or constant times
an induction variable.
For this reason, the current patch discards all constant terms and multipliers
before running the delinearization algorithm on the terms. The only thing
remaining in the term expressions are parameters and multiply expressions of
parameters: these simplified term expressions are passed to the array shape
recognizer that will not recognize constant dimensions anymore: these will be
recognized as different strides in parametric subscripts.
The only important special case of a constant dimension is the size of elements.
Instead of relying on the delinearization to infer the size of an element,
compute the element size from the base address type. This is a much more precise
way of computing the element size than before, as we would have mixed together
the size of an element with the strides of the innermost dimension.

This has to do with the trip count computation for loops with multiple
exits, which is quite subtle. Most passes just ask for a single trip
count number, so we must be conservative assuming any exit could be
taken. Normally, we rely on the "exact" trip count, which was
correctly given as "unknown". However, SCEV also gives a "max"
back-edge taken count. The loops max BE taken count is conservatively
a maximum over the max of each exit's non-exiting iterations
count. Note that some exit tests can be skipped so the max loop
back-edge taken count can actually exceed the max non-exiting
iterations for some exits. However, when we know the loop *latch*
cannot be skipped, we can directly use its max taken count
disregarding other exits. I previously took the minimum here without
checking whether the other exit could be skipped. The correct, and
simpler thing to do here is just to directly use the loop latch's max
non-exiting iterations as the loops max back-edge count.
In the problematic test case, the first loop exit had a max of zero
non-exiting iterations, but could be skipped. The loop latch was known
not to be skipped but had max of one non-exiting iteration. We
incorrectly claimed the loop back-edge could be taken zero times, when
it is actually taken one time.
Fixes Loop %for.body.i: <multiple exits> Unpredictable backedge-taken count.
Loop %for.body.i: max backedge-taken count is 1.

Sometimes a LLVM compilation may take more time then a client would like to
wait for. The problem is that it is not possible to safely suspend the LLVM
thread from the outside. When the timing is bad it might be possible that the
LLVM thread holds a global mutex and this would block any progress in any other
thread.
This commit adds a new yield callback function that can be registered with a
context. LLVM will try to yield by calling this callback function, but there is
no guaranteed frequency. LLVM will only do so if it can guarantee that
suspending the thread won't block any forward progress in other LLVM contexts
in the same process.
Once the client receives the call back it can suspend the thread safely and
resume it at another time.

much more effectively when trying to constant fold a load of a constant.
Previously, we only handled bitcasts by trying to find a totally generic
byte representation of the constant and use that. Now, we look through
the bitcast to see what constant we might fold the load into, and then
try to form a constant expression cast of the found value that would be
equivalent to loading the value.
You might wonder why on earth this actually matters. Well, turns out
that the Itanium ABI causes us to create a single array for a vtable
where the first elements are virtual base offsets, followed by the
virtual function pointers. Because the array is homogenous the element
type is consistently i8* and we inttoptr the virtual base offsets into
the initial elements.
Then constructors bitcast these pointers to i64 pointers prior to
loading them. Boom, no more constant folding of virtual base offsets.
This is the first fix to LLVM to address the *insane* performance Eric
Niebler discovered with Clang on his range comprehensions[1]. There is
more to come though, this doesn't *really* fix the problem fully.
