Mikael Holmen b69e5b7393 [GlobalOpt] Include padding in debug fragments
Summary:
When creating the debug fragments for a SRA'd variable, use the types'
allocation sizes. This fixes issues where the pass would emit too small
fragments, placed at the wrong offset, for padded types.

An example of this is long double on x86. The type is represented using
x86_fp80, which is 10 bytes, but the value is aligned to 12/16 bytes.
The padding is included in the type's DW_AT_byte_size attribute;
therefore, the fragments should also include that. Newer GCC releases
(I tested 7.2.0) emit 12/16-byte pieces for long double. Earlier
releases, e.g. GCC 5.5.0, behaved as LLVM did, i.e. by emitting a
10-byte piece, followed by an empty 2/6-byte piece for the padding.

Failing to cover all `DW_AT_byte_size' bytes of a value with non-empty
pieces results in the value being printed as <optimized out> by GDB.

Amara Emerson 93b0ff20c9 [GlobalOpt] Improve common case efficiency of static global initializer evaluation
For very, very large global initializers which can be statically evaluated, the
code would create vectors of temporary Constants, modifying them in place,
before committing the resulting Constant aggregate to the global's initializer
value. This had effectively O(n^2) complexity in the size of the global
initializer and would cause memory and non-termination issues compiling some
workloads.

This change performs the static initializer evaluation and creation in batches,
once for each global in the evaluated IR memory. The existing code is maintained
as a last resort when the initializers are more complex than simple values in a
large aggregate. This should theoretically by NFC, no test as the example case
is massive. The existing test cases pass with this, as well as the llvm test
suite.

To give an example, consider the following C++ code adapted from the clang
regression tests:
struct S {
 int n = 10;
 int m = 2 * n;
 S(int a) : n(a) {}
};

template<typename T>
struct U {
 T *r = &q;
 T q = 42;
 U *p = this;
};

U<S> e;

The global static constructor for 'e' will need to initialize 'r' and 'p' of
the outer struct, while also initializing the inner 'q' structs 'n' and 'm'
members. This batch algorithm will simply use general CommitValueTo() method
to handle the complex nested S struct initialization of 'q', before
processing the outermost members in a single batch. Using CommitValueTo() to
handle member in the outer struct is inefficient when the struct/array is
very large as we end up creating and destroy constant arrays for each
initialization.
For the above case, we expect the following IR to be generated:

%struct.U = type { %struct.S*, %struct.S, %struct.U* }
%struct.S = type { i32, i32 }
@e = global %struct.U { %struct.S* gep inbounds (%struct.U, %struct.U* @e,
                                                 i64 0, i32 1),
                        %struct.S { i32 42, i32 84 }, %struct.U* @e }
The %struct.S { i32 42, i32 84 } inner initializer is treated as a complex
constant expression, while the other two elements of @e are "simple".

Zaara Syeda 1f59ae311b Re-commit : [PowerPC] Add handling for ColdCC calling convention and a pass to mark
candidates with coldcc attribute.

This recommits r322721 reverted due to sanitizer memory leak build bot failures.

Original commit message:
This patch adds support for the coldcc calling convention for Power.
This changes the set of non-volatile registers. It includes a pass to stress
test the implementation by marking all static directly called functions with
the coldcc attribute through the option -enable-coldcc-stress-test. It also
includes an option, -ppc-enable-coldcc, to add the coldcc attribute to
functions which are cold at all call sites based on BlockFrequencyInfo when
the containing function does not call any non cold functions.

Summary:
When creating the debug fragments for a SRA'd struct, use the fields'

Rafael Espindola e4b0231c63 Make internal/private GVs implicitly dso_local.
While updating clang tests for having clang set dso_local I noticed
that:

- There are *a lot* of tests to update.
- Many of the updates are redundant.

They are redundant because a GV is "obviously dso_local". This patch
starts formalizing that a bit by requiring that internal and private
GVs be dso_local too. Since they all are, we don't have to print
dso_local to the textual representation, making it a bit more compact

Konstantin Zhuravlyov bb80d3e1d3 Enhance synchscope representation
OpenCL 2.0 introduces the notion of memory scopes in atomic operations to
  global and local memory. These scopes restrict how synchronization is
  achieved, which can result in improved performance.

  This change extends existing notion of synchronization scopes in LLVM to
  support arbitrary scopes expressed as target-specific strings, in addition to
  the already defined scopes (single thread, system).

  The LLVM IR and MIR syntax for expressing synchronization scopes has changed
  to use *syncscope("<scope>")*, where <scope> can be "singlethread" (this
  replaces *singlethread* keyword), or a target-specific name. As before, if
  the scope is not specified, it defaults to CrossThread/System scope.

  Implementation details:
    - Mapping from synchronization scope name/string to synchronization scope id
      is stored in LLVM context;
    - CrossThread/System and SingleThread scopes are pre-defined to efficiently
      check for known scopes without comparing strings;
    - Synchronization scope names are stored in SYNC_SCOPE_NAMES_BLOCK in
      the bitcode.

Davide Italiano 7dd0694f96 [GlobalOpt] Remove unreachable blocks before optimizing a function.
LLVM's definition of dominance allows instructions that are cyclic
in unreachable blocks, e.g.:

  %pat = select i1 %condition, @global, i16* %pat

because any instruction dominates an instruction in a block that's
not reachable from entry.
So, remove unreachable blocks from the function, because a) there's
no point in analyzing them and b) GlobalOpt should otherwise grow
some more complicated logic to break these cycles.

Matt Arsenault 3c1fc768ed Allow DataLayout to specify addrspace for allocas.
LLVM makes several assumptions about address space 0. However,
alloca is presently constrained to always return this address space.
There's no real way to avoid using alloca, so without this
there is no way to opt out of these assumptions.

The problematic assumptions include:
- That the pointer size used for the stack is the same size as
  the code size pointer, which is also the maximum sized pointer.

- That 0 is an invalid, non-dereferencable pointer value.

These are problems for AMDGPU because alloca is used to
implement the private address space, which uses a 32-bit
index as the pointer value. Other pointers are 64-bit
and behave more like LLVM's notion of generic address
space. By changing the address space used for allocas,
we can change our generic pointer type to be LLVM's generic
pointer type which does have similar properties.

Summary:
This class is a list of AttributeSetNodes corresponding the function
prototype of a call or function declaration. This class used to be
called ParamAttrListPtr, then AttrListPtr, then AttributeSet. It is
typically accessed by parameter and return value index, so
"AttributeList" seems like a more intuitive name.

Rename AttributeSetImpl to AttributeListImpl to follow suit.

It's useful to rename this class so that we can rename AttributeSetNode
to AttributeSet later. AttributeSet is the set of attributes that apply
to a single function, argument, or return value.

David L. Jones d21529fa0d [Analysis] Add LibFunc_ prefix to enums in TargetLibraryInfo. (NFC)
Summary:
The LibFunc::Func enum holds enumerators named for libc functions.
Unfortunately, there are real situations, including libc implementations, where
function names are actually macros (musl uses "#define fopen64 fopen", for
example; any other transitively visible macro would have similar effects).

Strictly speaking, a conforming C++ Standard Library should provide any such
macros as functions instead (via <cstdio>). However, there are some "library"
functions which are not part of the standard, and thus not subject to this
rule (fopen64, for example). So, in order to be both portable and consistent,
the enum should not use the bare function names.

The old enum naming used a namespace LibFunc and an enum Func, with bare
enumerators. This patch changes LibFunc to be an enum with enumerators prefixed
with "LibFFunc_". (Unfortunately, a scoped enum is not sufficient to override
macros.)

There are additional changes required in clang.

Peter Collingbourne 96efdd6107 IR: Introduce local_unnamed_addr attribute.
If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.

This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
  the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
  being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
  address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
  its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
  must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
  the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)

Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

Andrew Kaylor f0f279291c Initial implementation of optimization bisect support.
This patch implements a optimization bisect feature, which will allow optimizations to be selectively disabled at compile time in order to track down test failures that are caused by incorrect optimizations.

The bisection is enabled using a new command line option (-opt-bisect-limit).  Individual passes that may be skipped call the OptBisect object (via an LLVMContext) to see if they should be skipped based on the bisect limit.  A finer level of control (disabling individual transformations) can be managed through an addition OptBisect method, but this is not yet used.

The skip checking in this implementation is based on (and replaces) the skipOptnoneFunction check.  Where that check was being called, a new call has been inserted in its place which checks the bisect limit and the optnone attribute.  A new function call has been added for module and SCC passes that behaves in a similar way.

and renamed when importing, and their presense on the llvm.used variable
indicates that there are opaque uses that won't see the rename. One such
example is a use in inline assembly.

As part of this, move collectUsedGlobalVariables out of Transforms/Utils
and into IR/Module so that it can be used more widely. There are several
other places in LLVM that used copies of this code that can be cleaned
up as a follow on NFC patch.

Mehdi Amini b550cb1750 [NFC] Header cleanup
Removed some unused headers, replaced some headers with forward class declarations.

Found using simple scripts like this one:
clear && ack --cpp -l '#include "llvm/ADT/IndexedMap.h"' | xargs grep -L 'IndexedMap[<]' | xargs grep -n --color=auto 'IndexedMap'

Sanjoy Das 5ce3272833 Don't IPO over functions that can be de-refined
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.
