Summary:
Allow struct fields SRA and dead stores. This works by considering fields accesses from getElementPtr to be considered as a possible pointer root that can be cleaned up.
We check that the variable can be SRA by recursively checking the sub expressions with the new isSafeSubSROAGEP function.
basically this allows the array in following C code to be optimized out
struct Expr {
int a[2];
int b;
};
static struct Expr e;
int foo (int i)
{
e.b = 2;
e.a[i] = 1;
return e.b;
}

Summary:
Inalloca parameters require special handling in some optimizations.
This change causes globalopt to strip the inalloca attribute from
function parameters when it is safe to do so, removes the special
handling for inallocas from argpromotion, and replaces it with a
simple check that causes argpromotion to skip functions that receive
inallocas (for when the pass is invoked on code that didn't run
through globalopt first). This also avoids a case where argpromotion
would incorrectly try to pass an inalloca in a register.
Fixes PR41658.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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:
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.

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.

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.

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:
In the context of http://wg21.link/lwg2445 C++ uses the concept of
'stronger' ordering but doesn't define it properly. This should be fixed
in C++17 barring a small question that's still open.
The code currently plays fast and loose with the AtomicOrdering
enum. Using an enum class is one step towards tightening things. I later
also want to tighten related enums, such as clang's
AtomicOrderingKind (which should be shared with LLVM as a 'C++ ABI'
enum).
This change touches a few lines of code which can be improved later, I'd
like to keep it as NFC for now as it's already quite complex. I have
related changes for clang.
As a follow-up I'll add:
bool operator<(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
bool operator>(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
bool operator<=(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
bool operator>=(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
This is separate so that clang and LLVM changes don't need to be in sync.

Summary:
Make sure that any new and optimized objects created during GlobalOPT copy all the attributes from the base object.
A good example of improper behavior in the current implementation is section information associated with the GlobalObject. If a section was set for it, and GlobalOpt is creating/modifying a new object based on this one (often copying the original name), without this change new object will be placed in a default section, resulting in inappropriate properties of the new variable.
The argument here is that if customer specified a section for a variable, any changes to it that compiler does should not cause it to change that section allocation.
Moreover, any other properties worth representation in copyAttributesFrom() should also be propagated.

We currently bail out of global localization if the global has non-instruction users. However, often these can be simple bitcasts or constant-GEPs, which we can easily turn into instructions before localizing. Be a bit more aggressive.

Address Duncan Exon Smith's comments on D14148, which was added after the patch had been LGTM'd and committed:
* clang-format one area where whitespace diffs occurred.
* Add a threshold to limit the store/load dominance checks as they are quadratic.

Global to local demotion can speed up programs that use globals a lot. It is particularly useful with LTO, when the entire call graph is known and most functions have been internalized.
For a global to be demoted, it must only be accessed by one function and that function:
1. Must never recurse directly or indirectly, else the GV would be clobbered.
2. Must never rely on the value in GV at the start of the function (apart from the initializer).
GlobalOpt can already do this, but it is hamstrung and only ever tries to demote globals inside "main", because C++ gives extra guarantees about how main is called - once and only once.
In LTO mode, we can often prove the first property (if the function is internal by this point, we know enough about the callgraph to determine if it could possibly recurse). FunctionAttrs now infers the "norecurse" attribute for this reason.
The second property can be proven for a subset of functions by proving that all loads from GV are dominated by a store to GV. This is conservative in the name of compile time - this only requires a DominatorTree which is fairly cheap in the grand scheme of things. We could do more fancy stuff with MemoryDependenceAnalysis too to catch more cases but this appears to catch most of the useful ones in my testing.

When GlobalOpt splits an internal, global variable with an aggregate type, it
should propagate the externally_initialized flag to the newly created globals.
This makes the pass safe for our downstream use of this flag, while still
allowing some useful optimisations (such as removing dead parts of the split
aggregate) to be performed.

I think these were affected by a change way back when to stop printing newlines in Value::dump() by default. This change simply allows the debug output to be readable.

GlobalOpt currently merges stores into the initialisers of internal,
externally_initialized globals, but should not do so as the value of the global
may change between the initialiser and any code in the module being run.

Summary:
Fix the way we sort the llvm.used and llvm.compiler.used members.
This bug seems to have been introduced in rL183756 through a set of improper casts to GlobalValue*. In subsequent patches this problem was missed and transformed into a getName call on a ConstantExpr.

It doesn't solve the problem, when for example we load something, and
then assume that it is the same as some constant value, because
globalopt will fail on unknown load instruction. The proposed solution
would be to skip some instructions that we can't evaluate and they are
safe to skip (f.e. load, assume and many others) and see if they are
required to perform optimization (f.e. we don't care about ephemeral
instructions that may appear using @llvm.assume())

Summary:
While working on a project I wound up generating a fairly large lookup table (10k entries) of callbacks inside of a static constructor. Clang was taking upwards of ~10 minutes to compile the lookup table. I generated a smaller test case (http://www.inolen.com/static_initializer_test.ll) that, after running with -ftime-report, pointed fingers at GlobalOpt and MemCpyOptimizer.
Running globalopt took around ~9 minutes. The slowdown came from how GlobalOpt merged stores from static constructors individually into the global initializer in EvaluateStaticConstructor. For each store it discovered and wanted to commit, it would copy the existing global initializer and then merge in the individual store. I changed this so that stores are now grouped by global, and sorted from most significant to least significant by their GEP indexes (e.g. a store to GEP 0, 0 comes before GEP 0, 0, 1). With this representation, the existing initializer can be copied and all new stores merged into it in a single pass.
With this patch and http://reviews.llvm.org/D11198, the lookup table that was taking ~10 minutes to compile now compiles in around 5 seconds. I've ran 'make check' and the test-suite, which all passed.
I'm not really sure who to tag as a reviewer, Lang mentioned that Chandler may be appropriate.
