If we have a dominating must-write access we do not need to know the
initial value of some object to perform reasoning about the potential
values. The dominating must-write has overwritten the initial value.
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.

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.
D106720 introduced features that did not work properly as we could add
new queries after a fixpoint was reached and which could not be answered
by the information gathered up to the fixpoint alone.
As an alternative to D110078, which forced eager computation where we
want to continue to be lazy, this patch fixes the problem.
QueryAAs are AAs that allow lazy queries during their lifetime. They are
never fixed if they have no outstanding dependences and always run as
part of the updates in an iteration. To determine if we are done, all
query AAs are asked if they received new queries, if not, we only need
to consider updated AAs, as before. If new queries are present we go for
another iteration.

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.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D110099
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.
Since D104432 we can look through memory by analyzing all writes that
might interfere with a load. This patch provides some logic to exclude
writes that cannot interfere with a location, due to CFG reasoning.
We make sure to avoid multi-thread write-read situations properly while
we ignore writes that cannot reach a load or writes that will be
overwritten before the load is reached.

For now we do should not treat byval arguments as local copies performed
on the call edge, though, in general we should. To make that happen we
need to teach various passes, e.g., DSE, about the copy effect of a
byval. That would also allow us to mark functions only accessing byval
arguments as readnone again, atguably their acceses have no effect
outside of the function, like accesses to allocas.

D106185 allows us to determine if a store is needed easily. Using that
knowledge we can start to delete dead stores.
In AAIsDead we now track more state as an instruction can be dead (= the
old optimisitc state) or just "removable". A store instruction can be
removable while being very much alive, e.g., if it stores a constant
into an alloca or internal global. If we would pretend it was dead
instead of only removablewe we would ignore it when we determine what
values a load can see, so that is not what we want.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D106188
A byval argument is a different value in the caller and callee, we
cannot propagate the information as part of AAValueSimplify. Users that
want to deal with byval arguments need to specifically perform the
argument -> call site step. We do not do this for now.
This patch introduces AAPointerInfo which tracks the uses of a pointer
and places them in "bins" based on their offset from the base and access
size.
As with other AAs, any pointer can be tracked but it is up to the user
to make sense of the results. The user in this patch is AAValueSimplify
and AAPotentialValues which both utilize AAPointerInfo to determine the
value of a load. For now, this is restricted to loads of allocas and
internal globals. Through the use of AAPointerInfo and the "bins" we can
track struct members separately. The users also know that storing only
zeros (at unknown indices) will result in loading only 0 (from unknown
indices). Other than that, the users are flow and context insensitive
(for now).
To deal with the "bins" more easily, AAPointerInfo provides a
forallInterfearingAccesses that applies a callback on all accesses
that might interfere with a given load or store.

As a first step to simplify loads we only handle `null` and `undef`

Since D86233 we have `mustprogress` which, in combination with
`readonly`, implies `willreturn`. The idea is that every side-effect
has to be modeled as a "write". Consequently, `readonly` means there
is no side-effect, and `mustprogress` guarantees that we cannot "loop"
forever without side-effect.

We don't need a bool and an enum to express the three options we
currently have. This makes the interface nicer and much easier to
use optional dependencies. Also avoids mistakes where the bool is
false and enum ignored.
If the function is not assumed `noreturn` we should not wait for an
update to mark the call site as "may-return".
This has two kinds of consequences:
- We have less iterations in many tests.
- We have less deductions based on "known information" (since we ask
earlier, point 1, and therefore assumed information is not "known"
yet).
The latter is an artifact that we might want to tackle properly at some
point but which is not easily fixable right now.
When we assume a return value is dead we might still visit return
instructions via `Attributor::checkForAllReturnedValuesAndReturnInsts(..)`.
When we do so the "returned value" is potentially simplified to `undef`
as it is the assumed "returned value". This is a problem if there was a
preexisting `noundef` attribute that will only be removed as we manifest
the `undef` return value. We should not use this combination to derive
`unreachable` though. Two test cases fixed.

The module slice describes which functions we can analyze and transform

During an update of AAIsDead, new instructions become live. If we query
information from them, the result is often just the initial state, e.g.,
for call site `noreturn` and `nounwind`. We will now trigger an update
for cached attributes during the AAIsDead update, though other AAs might
later use the same API.
We now use getPointerDereferenceableBytes to determine `nonnull` and
`dereferenceable` facts from the IR. We also use getPointerAlignment in
AAAlign for the same reason. The latter can interfere with callbacks so
we do restrict it to non-function-pointers for now.
In a recent patch we introduced a problem with abstract attributes that
were assumed dead at some point. Since `Attributor::updateAA` was
introduced in 95e0d28b71, we did not
remember the dependence on the liveness AA when an abstract attribute
was assumed dead and therefore not updated.
Explicit reproducer added in liveness.ll.

Attributes that only depend on the value (=bit pattern) can be
initialized from uses in the must-be-executed-context (MBEC). We did use
`AAComposeTwoGenericDeduction` and `AAFromMustBeExecutedContext` before
to do this for some positions of these attributes but not for all. This
was fairly complicated and also problematic as we did run it in every
`updateImpl` call even though we only use known information. The new
implementation removes `AAComposeTwoGenericDeduction`* and
`AAFromMustBeExecutedContext` in favor of a simple interface
`AddInformation::fromMBEContext(...)` which we call from the
`initialize` methods of the "value attribute" `Impl` classes, e.g.
`AANonNullImpl:initialize`.
There can be two types of test changes:
1) Artifacts were we miss some information that was known before a
global fixpoint was reached and therefore available in an update
but not at the beginning.
2) Deduction for values we did not derive via the MBEC before or which
were not found as the `AAFromMustBeExecutedContext::updateImpl` was
never invoked.
* An improved version of AAComposeTwoGenericDeduction can be found in
D78718. Once we find a new use case that implementation will be able
to handle "generic" AAs better.
