These intrinsics currently have an explicit alignment argument which is
required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
source and dest, and so must be the minimum of those.
This change allows source and dest to each have their own alignments
by using the alignment attribute on their arguments. The alignment
argument itself is removed.
There are a few places in the code for which the code needs to be
checked by an expert as to whether using only src/dest alignment is
safe. For those places, they currently take the minimum of src/dest
alignments which matches the current behaviour.
For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 500, i32 8, i1 false)
will now read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 8 %dest, i8* align 8 %src, i32 500, i1 false)
For out of tree owners, I was able to strip alignment from calls using sed by replacing:
(call.*llvm\.memset.*)i32\ [0-9]*\,\ i1 false\)
with:
$1i1 false)
and similarly for memmove and memcpy.
I then added back in alignment to test cases which needed it.
A similar commit will be made to clang which actually has many differences in alignment as now
IRBuilder can generate different source/dest alignments on calls.
In IRBuilder itself, a new argument was added. Instead of calling:
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
you now call
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, SrcAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
There is a temporary class (IntegerAlignment) which takes the source alignment and rejects
implicit conversion from bool. This is to prevent isVolatile here from passing its default
parameter to the source alignment.
Note, changes in future can now be made to codegen. I didn't change anything here, but this
change should enable better memcpy code sequences.

"GCC requires the freestanding environment provide memcpy, memmove, memset
and memcmp": https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-5.2.0/gcc/Standards.html
Hence in GNUEABI targets LLVM should not convert 'memops' to their equivalent
'__aeabi_memops'. This convertion violates GCC contract.
The -meabi flag controls whether or not LLVM will modify 'memops' in GNUEABI
targets.
Without -meabi: use the triple default EABI.
With -meabi=default: use the triple default EABI.
With -meabi=gnu: use 'memops'.
With -meabi=4 or -meabi=5: use '__aeabi_memops'.
With -meabi set to an unknown value: same as -meabi=default.

AEABI defines aligned variants of memcpy etc. that can be faster than
the default version due to not having to do alignment checks. When
emitting target code for these functions make use of these aligned
variants if possible. Also convert memset to memclr if possible.

Fill in the TODO in CodeGenPrepare::OptimizeCallInst so that global
variables that are passed to memory intrinsics are aligned in the same
way that allocas are.

Memcpy, and other memory intrinsics, typically tries to use LDM/STM if
the source and target addresses are 4-byte aligned. In CodeGenPrepare
look for calls to memory intrinsics and, if the object is on the
stack, 4-byte align it if it's large enough that we expect that memcpy
would want to use LDM/STM to copy it.

The ARM backend has been using most of the MachO related subtarget
checks almost interchangeably, and since the only target it's had to
run on has been IOS (which is all three of MachO, Darwin and IOS) it's
worked out OK so far.
But we'd like to support embedded targets under the "*-*-none-macho"
triple, which means everything starts falling apart and inconsistent
behaviours emerge.
This patch should pick a reasonably sensible set of behaviours for the
new triple (and any others that come along, with luck). Some choices
were debatable (notably FP == r7 or r11), but we can revisit those
later when deficiencies become apparent.

for pre-2.9 bitcode files. We keep x86 unaligned loads, movnt, crc32, and the
target indep prefetch change.
As usual, updating the testsuite is a PITA.
