For the longest time we used `AAValueSimplify` and
`genericValueTraversal` to determine "potential values". This was
problematic for many reasons:
- We recomputed the result a lot as there was no caching for the 9
locations calling `genericValueTraversal`.
- We added the idea of "intra" vs. "inter" procedural simplification
only as an afterthought. `genericValueTraversal` did offer an option
but `AAValueSimplify` did not. Thus, we might end up with "too much"
simplification in certain situations and then gave up on it.
- Because `genericValueTraversal` was not a real `AA` we ended up with
problems like the infinite recursion bug (#54981) as well as code
duplication.
This patch introduces `AAPotentialValues` and replaces the
`AAValueSimplify` uses with it. `genericValueTraversal` is folded into
`AAPotentialValues` as are the instruction simplifications performed in
`AAValueSimplify` before. We further distinguish "intra" and "inter"
procedural simplification now.
`AAValueSimplify` was not deleted as we haven't ported the
re-materialization of instructions yet. There are other differences over
the former handling, e.g., we may not fold trivially foldable
instructions right now, e.g., `add i32 1, 1` is not folded to `i32 2`
but if an operand would be simplified to `i32 1` we would fold it still.
We are also even more aware of function/SCC boundaries in CGSCC passes,
which is good even if some tests look like they regress.

When we run the CGSCC pass we should only invest time on the SCC. We can

they are helpful providing information for the SCC.
Minor modifications to pointer privatization allow us to perform it even

If we ignore droppable users everything only used in llvm.assume (among

Instead we want to only delete things we actually don't need anymore. A
follow up will deal with loads in a smarter way.
Most intrinsics, especially "default" ones, will not call back into the
IR module. `nocallback` encodes this nicely. As it was not used before,
this patch also makes use of `nocallback` in the Attributor which
results in many more `norecurse` deductions.

As replacements will become more complex it is better to have a single
AA responsible for replacing a use. Before this patch AAValueSimplify*
and AAValueSimplifyReturned could both try to replace the returned
value. The latter was marginally better for the old pass manager
when a function was already carrying a `returned` attribute and when
the context of the return instruction was important. The second
shortcoming was resolved by looking for return attributes in the
AAValueSimplifyCallSiteReturned initialization. The old PM impact is
not concerning.
This is yet another step towards the removal of AAReturnedValues, the
very first AA we should now try to eliminate due to the overlapping
logic with value simplification.
There was some ad-hoc handling of liveness and manifest to avoid
breaking CGSCC guarantees. Things always slipped through though.
This cleanup will:
1) Prevent us from manifesting any "information" outside the CGSCC.
This might be too conservative but we need to opt-in to annotation
not try to avoid some problematic ones.
2) Avoid running any liveness analysis outside the CGSCC. We did have
some AAIsDeadFunction handling to this end but we need this for all
AAIsDead classes. The reason is that AAIsDead information is only
correct if we actually manifest it, since we don't (see point 1) we
cannot actually derive/use it at all. We are currently trying to
avoid running any AA updates outside the CGSCC but that seems to
impact things quite a bit.
3) Assert, don't check, that our modifications (during cleanup) modifies
only CGSCC functions.
The oversight caused us to ignore call sites that are effectively dead
when we computed reachability (or more precise the call edges of a
function). The problem is that loads in the readonly callee might depend
on stores prior to the callee. If we do not track the call edge we
mistakenly assumed the store before the call cannot reach the load.
The problem is nicely visible in:
`llvm/test/Transforms/Attributor/ArgumentPromotion/basictest.ll`
Caused by D118673.
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53726
We missed out on AANoRecurse in the module pass because we had no call
graph. With AAFunctionReachability we can simply ask if the function may
reach itself.

genericValueTraversal can look through arguments and allow value
simplification across function boundaries. In fact, the latter already
happened unchecked. With this change we allow the user of
genericValueTraversal to opt-out of interprocedural traversal if
required. We explicitly look through arguments now which helps to do
various things, incl. the propagation of constants into OpenMP parallel
regions (on the host).
This fixes a conceptual problem with our AAIsDead usage which conflated
call site liveness with call site return value liveness. Without the
fix tests would obviously miscompile as we make genericValueTraversal
more powerful (in a follow up). The effects on the tests are mixed but
mostly marginal. The most prominent one is the lack of `noreturn` for
functions. The reason is that we make entire blocks live at the same
time (for time reasons). Now that we actually look at the block
liveness, which we need to do, the return instructions are live and
will survive. As an example, `noreturn_async.ll` has been modified
to retain the `noreturn` even with block granularity. We could address
this easily but there is little need in practice.
When we simplify at least one operand in the Attributor simplification
we can use the InstSimplify to work on the simplified operands. This
allows us to avoid duplication of the logic.

We have to be careful when we replace values to not use a non-dominating
instruction. It makes sense that simplification offers those as
"simplified values" but we can't manifest them in the IR without PHI
nodes. In the future we should consider potentially adding those PHI
nodes.
We should use AAValueSimplify for all value simplification, however
there was some leftover logic that predates AAValueSimplify in
AAReturnedValues. This remove the AAReturnedValues part and provides a
replacement by making AAValueSimplifyReturned strong enough to handle
all previously covered cases. Further, this improve
AAValueSimplifyCallSiteReturned to handle returned arguments.
AAReturnedValues is now much easier and the collected returned
values/instructions are now from the associated function only, making it
much more sane. We also do not have the brittle logic anymore that looks
for unresolved calls. Instead, we use AAValueSimplify to handle
recursion.
Useful code has been split into helper functions, e.g., an Attributor
interface to get a simplified value.

We often need to deal with the value lattice that contains none and

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D103857
When we do simplification via AAPotentialValues or AAValueConstantRange
we need to simplify the operands of an instruction we deconstruct first.
This does not only improve the result, see for example range.ll, but is
required as we allow outside AAs to provide simplification rules via
callbacks. If we do ignore the simplification rules and base other
simplifications on the IR instead we can create an inconsistent state.

The current implementation of AANoFreeFloating will incorrectly list floating
point loads and stores as may-free. This prevents other attributor instances

The constant value lattice looks like this
```
<None>
|
<undef>
/ | \
... <0> ...

```
We did not account for the undef and assumed a value meant we could not
change anymore. Now we actually check if we have the same value as
before, which will signal CHANGED to the users when we go from undef to
a specific constant.
This fixes, among other things, the bug exposed by @ipccp4 in
`value-simplify.ll`.
These intrinsics don't need to be marked as arbitrary writing,

Currently LLVM is relying on ValueTracking's `isKnownNonZero` to attach `nonnull`, which can return true when the value is poison.
To make the semantics of `nonnull` consistent with the behavior of `isKnownNonZero`, this makes the semantics of `nonnull` to accept poison, and return poison if the input pointer isn't null.
This makes many transformations like below legal:
```
%p = gep inbounds %x, 1 ; % p is non-null pointer or poison
call void @f(%p) ; instcombine converts this to call void @f(nonnull %p)
```
Instead, this semantics makes propagation of `nonnull` to caller illegal.
The reason is that, passing poison to `nonnull` does not immediately raise UB anymore, so such program is still well defined, if the callee does not use the argument.
Having `noundef` attribute there re-allows this.
```
define void @f(i8* %p) { ; functionattr cannot mark %p nonnull here anymore
call void @g(i8* nonnull %p) ; .. because @g never raises UB if it never uses %p.
ret void
}
```
Another attribute that needs to be updated is `align`. This patch updates the semantics of align to accept poison as well.

The dominating condition handling in isKnownNonZero() currently
only takes into account conditions of the form "x != 0" or "x == 0".
However, there are plenty of other conditions that imply non-zero,
a common one being "x s> 0".
Peculiarly, the handling for assumes was already dealing with more
general non-zero-ness conditions, so this just reuses the same
logic for the dominating condition case.
D70365 allows us to make attributes default. This is a follow up to
actually make nosync, nofree and willreturn default. The approach we

problems to target specific intrinsics. Intrinsics with default
attributes can be created using `DefaultAttrsIntrinsic` class.
