Summary:
This change is part of step five in the series of changes to remove alignment argument from
memcpy/memmove/memset in favour of alignment attributes. In particular, this changes the
LoopIdiom pass to cease using the old IRBuilder CreateMemCpy single-alignment APIs in
favour of the new API that allows setting source and destination alignments independently.
This allows us to be slightly more aggressive in setting the alignment of memcpy calls that
loop idiom creates.
Steps:
Step 1) Remove alignment parameter and create alignment parameter attributes for
memcpy/memmove/memset. ( rL322965, rC322964, rL322963 )
Step 2) Expand the IRBuilder API to allow creation of memcpy/memmove with differing
source and dest alignments. ( rL323597 )
Step 3) Update Clang to use the new IRBuilder API. ( rC323617 )
Step 4) Update Polly to use the new IRBuilder API. ( rL323618 )
Step 5) Update LLVM passes that create memcpy/memmove calls to use the new IRBuilder API,
and those that use use MemIntrinsicInst::[get|set]Alignment() to use [get|set]DestAlignment()
and [get|set]SourceAlignment() instead. ( rL323886, rL323891, rL324148, rL324273, rL324278,
rL324384, rL324395, rL324402 )
Step 6) Remove the single-alignment IRBuilder API for memcpy/memmove, and the
MemIntrinsicInst::[get|set]Alignment() methods.

This is needed for cases when the memory access is not as big as the width of
the data type. For instance, storing i1 (1 bit) would be done in a byte (8
bits).
Using 'BitSize >> 3' (or '/ 8') would e.g. give the memory access of an i1 a
size of 0, which for instance makes alias analysis return NoAlias even when
it shouldn't.
There are no tests as this was done as a follow-up to the bugfix for the case

Summary:
The specification of the @llvm.memcpy.element.unordered.atomic intrinsic requires
that the pointer arguments have alignments of at least the element size. The existing
IRBuilder interface to create a call to this intrinsic does not allow for providing
the alignment of these pointer args. Having an interface that makes it easy to
construct invalid intrinsic calls doesn't seem sensible, so this patch simply
adds the requirement that one provide the argument alignments when using IRBuilder
to create atomic memcpy calls.

it when safe.
Very often the BE count is the trip count minus one, and the plus one
here should fold with that minus one. But because the BE count might in
theory be UINT_MAX or some such, adding one before we extend could in
some cases wrap to zero and break when we scale things.
This patch checks to see if it would be safe to add one because the
specific case that would cause this is guarded for prior to entering the
preheader. This should handle essentially all of the common loop idioms
coming out of C/C++ code once canonicalized by LLVM.
Before this patch, both forms of loop in the added test cases ended up
subtracting one from the size, extending it, scaling it up by 8 and then
adding 8 back onto it. This is really silly, and it turns out made it
all the way into generated code very often, so this is a surprisingly
important cleanup to do.
Many thanks to Sanjoy for showing me how to do this with SCEV.

Summary:
This NFC simply refactors the return value of LoopIdiomRecognize::isLegalStore() from bool to an enumeration, and
removes the return-through-parameter mechanism that the function was using. This function is constructed such that it will
only ever recognize a single store idiom (memset, memset_pattern, or memcpy), and never a combination of these. As such it
makes much more sense for the return value to be the single idiom that the store matches, rather than
having a separate argument-return for each idiom -- it's cleaner, and makes it clearer that
only a single idiom can be matched.

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.

the latter to the Transforms library.
While the loop PM uses an analysis to form the IR units, the current
plan is to have the PM itself establish and enforce both loop simplified
form and LCSSA. This would be a layering violation in the analysis
library.
Fundamentally, the idea behind the loop PM is to *transform* loops in
addition to running passes over them, so it really seemed like the most
natural place to sink this was into the transforms library.
We can't just move *everything* because we also have loop analyses that
rely on a subset of the invariants. So this patch splits the the loop
infrastructure into the analysis management that has to be part of the
analysis library, and the transform-aware pass manager.
This also required splitting the loop analyses' printer passes out to
the transforms library, which makes sense to me as running these will
transform the code into LCSSA in theory.
I haven't split the unittest though because testing one component
without the other seems nearly intractable.

arguments much like the CGSCC pass manager.
This is a major redesign following the pattern establish for the CGSCC layer to
support updates to the set of loops during the traversal of the loop nest and
to support invalidation of analyses.
An additional significant burden in the loop PM is that so many passes require
access to a large number of function analyses. Manually ensuring these are
cached, available, and preserved has been a long-standing burden in LLVM even
with the help of the automatic scheduling in the old pass manager. And it made
the new pass manager extremely unweildy. With this design, we can package the
common analyses up while in a function pass and make them immediately available
to all the loop passes. While in some cases this is unnecessary, I think the
simplicity afforded is worth it.
This does not (yet) address loop simplified form or LCSSA form, but those are
the next things on my radar and I have a clear plan for them.
While the patch is very large, most of it is either mechanically updating loop
passes to the new API or the new testing for the loop PM. The code for it is
reasonably compact.
I have not yet updated all of the loop passes to correctly leverage the update
mechanisms demonstrated in the unittests. I'll do that in follow-up patches
along with improved FileCheck tests for those passes that ensure things work in
more realistic scenarios. In many cases, there isn't much we can do with these
until the loop simplified form and LCSSA form are in place.

One exception here is LoopInfo which must forward-declare it (because

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.

routine.
We were getting this wrong in small ways and generally being very
inconsistent about it across loop passes. Instead, let's have a common
place where we do this. One minor downside is that this will require
some analyses like SCEV in more places than they are strictly needed.
However, this seems benign as these analyses are complete no-ops, and
without this consistency we can in many cases end up with the legacy
pass manager scheduling deciding to split up a loop pass pipeline in
order to run the function analysis half-way through. It is very, very
annoying to fix these without just being very pedantic across the board.
The only loop passes I've not updated here are ones that use
AU.setPreservesAll() such as IVUsers (an analysis) and the pass printer.
They seemed less relevant.
With this patch, almost all of the problems in PR24804 around loop pass
pipelines are fixed. The one remaining issue is that we run simplify-cfg
and instcombine in the middle of the loop pass pipeline. We've recently
added some loop variants of these passes that would seem substantially
cleaner to use, but this at least gets us much closer to the previous
state. Notably, the seven loop pass managers is down to three.
I've not updated the loop passes using LoopAccessAnalysis because that
analysis hasn't been fully wired into LoopSimplify/LCSSA, and it isn't
clear that those transforms want to support those forms anyways. They
all run late anyways, so this is harmless. Similarly, LSR is left alone
because it already carefully manages its forms and doesn't need to get
fused into a single loop pass manager with a bunch of other loop passes.
LoopReroll didn't use loop simplified form previously, and I've updated
the test case to match the trivially different output.
Finally, I've also factored all the pass initialization for the passes
that use this technique as well, so that should be done regularly and
reliably.

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.

with the new pass manager, and no longer relying on analysis groups.
This builds essentially a ground-up new AA infrastructure stack for
LLVM. The core ideas are the same that are used throughout the new pass
manager: type erased polymorphism and direct composition. The design is
as follows:
- FunctionAAResults is a type-erasing alias analysis results aggregation
interface to walk a single query across a range of results from
different alias analyses. Currently this is function-specific as we
always assume that aliasing queries are *within* a function.
- AAResultBase is a CRTP utility providing stub implementations of
various parts of the alias analysis result concept, notably in several
cases in terms of other more general parts of the interface. This can
be used to implement only a narrow part of the interface rather than
the entire interface. This isn't really ideal, this logic should be
hoisted into FunctionAAResults as currently it will cause
a significant amount of redundant work, but it faithfully models the
behavior of the prior infrastructure.
- All the alias analysis passes are ported to be wrapper passes for the
legacy PM and new-style analysis passes for the new PM with a shared
result object. In some cases (most notably CFL), this is an extremely
naive approach that we should revisit when we can specialize for the
new pass manager.
- BasicAA has been restructured to reflect that it is much more
fundamentally a function analysis because it uses dominator trees and
loop info that need to be constructed for each function.
All of the references to getting alias analysis results have been
updated to use the new aggregation interface. All the preservation and
other pass management code has been updated accordingly.
The way the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass works is to detect the
available alias analyses when run, and add them to the results object.
This means that we should be able to continue to respect when various
passes are added to the pipeline, for example adding CFL or adding TBAA
passes should just cause their results to be available and to get folded
into this. The exception to this rule is BasicAA which really needs to
be a function pass due to using dominator trees and loop info. As
a consequence, the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass directly depends on
BasicAA and always includes it in the aggregation.
This has significant implications for preserving analyses. Generally,
most passes shouldn't bother preserving FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass
because rebuilding the results just updates the set of known AA passes.
The exception to this rule are LoopPass instances which need to preserve
all the function analyses that the loop pass manager will end up
needing. This means preserving both BasicAAWrapperPass and the
aggregating FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass.
Now, when preserving an alias analysis, you do so by directly preserving
that analysis. This is only necessary for non-immutable-pass-provided
alias analyses though, and there are only three of interest: BasicAA,
GlobalsAA (formerly GlobalsModRef), and SCEVAA. Usually BasicAA is
preserved when needed because it (like DominatorTree and LoopInfo) is
marked as a CFG-only pass. I've expanded GlobalsAA into the preserved
set everywhere we previously were preserving all of AliasAnalysis, and
I've added SCEVAA in the intersection of that with where we preserve
SCEV itself.
One significant challenge to all of this is that the CGSCC passes were
actually using the alias analysis implementations by taking advantage of
a pretty amazing set of loop holes in the old pass manager's analysis
management code which allowed analysis groups to slide through in many
cases. Moving away from analysis groups makes this problem much more
obvious. To fix it, I've leveraged the flexibility the design of the new
PM components provides to just directly construct the relevant alias
analyses for the relevant functions in the IPO passes that need them.
This is a bit hacky, but should go away with the new pass manager, and
is already in many ways cleaner than the prior state.
Another significant challenge is that various facilities of the old
alias analysis infrastructure just don't fit any more. The most
significant of these is the alias analysis 'counter' pass. That pass
relied on the ability to snoop on AA queries at different points in the
analysis group chain. Instead, I'm planning to build printing
functionality directly into the aggregation layer. I've not included
that in this patch merely to keep it smaller.
Note that all of this needs a nearly complete rewrite of the AA
documentation. I'm planning to do that, but I'd like to make sure the
new design settles, and to flesh out a bit more of what it looks like in
the new pass manager first.
