The fact that loads and stores can have the alignment missing is a
constant source of confusion: code that usually works can break down in
rare cases. So fix the LoadInst API so the alignment is never missing.
To reduce the number of changes required to make this work, IRBuilder
and certain LoadInst constructors will grab the module's datalayout and
compute the alignment automatically. This is the same alignment
instcombine would eventually apply anyway; we're just doing it earlier.
There's a minor risk that the way we're retrieving the datalayout
could break out-of-tree code, but I don't think that's likely.
This is the last in a series of patches, so most of the necessary
changes have already been merged.

Fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44835. Skip the transform
if it wouldn't actually do anything (apart from removing and reinserting
the same instructions).
Note that the test case doesn't loop on current master anymore, only
on the LLVM 10 release branch. The issue is already mitigated on master
due to worklist order fixes, but we should fix the root cause there as well.
As a side note, we should probably assert in combineLoadToNewType()
that it does not combine to the same type. Not doing this here, because
this assertion would also be triggered in another place right now.

Adds a replaceOperand() helper, which is like Instruction.setOperand()
but adds the old operand to the worklist. This reduces the amount of
missing or incorrect worklist management.
This only applies the helper to a relatively small subset of

`I.setOperand(); return &I;`, where it is most obviously applicable.

InstCombine internals. I will then migrate uses of Worklist.push()

There is a slight caveat here though: We need to make sure that we
add back the store the worklist first, because that means it will
be processed after the operands of the removed store have been
processed. This is a general bug in InstCombine worklist management
that I hope to address at some point, but for now it means we need
to do this manually rather than just returning the instruction as

Summary:
If aligment on `LoadInst` isn't specified, load is assumed to be ABI-aligned.
And said aligment may be different for different types.
So if we change load type, but don't pay extra attention to the aligment
(i.e. keep it unspecified), we may either overpromise (if the default aligment
of the new type is higher), or underpromise (if the default aligment
of the new type is smaller).
Thus, if no alignment is specified, we need to manually preserve the implied ABI alignment.
This addresses https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44543 by making combineLoadToNewType preserve ABI alignment of the load.

Don't try to canonicalize loads to scalable vector types to loads

This removes one assertion when trying to use a TypeSize as a parameter

function (which looks at bitcasts).
This patch also contains a NFC fix for Load Analysis, where a variable
initialization that would cause the same assertion is moved closer to

If we have a store to a piece of memory which is known constant, then we know the store must be storing back the same value. As a result, the store (or memset, or memmove) must either be down a dead path, or a noop. In either case, it is valid to simply remove the store.
The motivating case for this involves a memmove to a buffer which is constant down a path which is dynamically dead.
Note that I'm choosing to implement the less aggressive of two possible semantics here. We could simply say that the store *is undefined*, and prune the path. Consensus in the review was that the more aggressive form might be a good follow on change at a later date.

The current llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access metadata has a problem in that
it uses LoopIDs. LoopID unfortunately is not loop identifier. It is
neither unique (there's even a regression test assigning the some LoopID
to multiple loops; can otherwise happen if passes such as LoopVersioning
make copies of entire loops) nor persistent (every time a property is
removed/added from a LoopID's MDNode, it will also receive a new LoopID;
this happens e.g. when calling Loop::setLoopAlreadyUnrolled()).
Since most loop transformation passes change the loop attributes (even
if it just to mark that a loop should not be processed again as
llvm.loop.isvectorized does, for the versioned and unversioned loop),
the parallel access information is lost for any subsequent pass.
This patch unlinks LoopIDs and parallel accesses.
llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access metadata on instruction is replaced by
llvm.access.group metadata. llvm.access.group points to a distinct
MDNode with no operands (avoiding the problem to ever need to add/remove
operands), called "access group". Alternatively, it can point to a list
of access groups. The LoopID then has an attribute
llvm.loop.parallel_accesses with all the access groups that are parallel
(no dependencies carries by this loop).
This intentionally avoid any kind of "ID". Loops that are clones/have
their attributes modifies retain the llvm.loop.parallel_accesses
attribute. Access instructions that a cloned point to the same access
group. It is not necessary for each access to have it's own "ID" MDNode,
but those memory access instructions with the same behavior can be
grouped together.
The behavior of llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access is not changed by this
patch, but should be considered deprecated.

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.

InstCombineLoadStoreAlloca.cpp:238:7: error: 'PointerReplacer' declared

llvm-svn: 294794
For function-scope variables with large initialisation list, FE usually
generates a global variable to hold the initializer, then generates
memcpy intrinsic to initialize the alloca. InstCombiner::visitAllocaInst
identifies such allocas which are accessed only by reading and replaces
them with the global variable. This is done by casting the global variable
to the type of the alloca and replacing all references.
However, when the global variable is in a different address space which
is disjoint with addr space 0 (e.g. for IR generated from OpenCL,
global variable cannot be in private addr space i.e. addr space 0), casting
the global variable to addr space 0 results in invalid IR for certain
targets (e.g. amdgpu).
To fix this issue, when the global variable is not in addr space 0,
instead of casting it to addr space 0, this patch chases down the uses
of alloca until reaching the load instructions, then replaces load from
alloca with load from the global variable. If during the chasing
bitcast and GEP are encountered, new bitcast and GEP based on the global
variable are generated and used in the load instructions.

Original Commit Message
Extend load/store type canonicalization to handle unordered operations
Extend the type canonicalization logic to work for unordered atomic loads and stores. Note that while this change itself is fairly simple and low risk, there's a reasonable chance this will expose problems in the backends by suddenly generating IR they wouldn't have seen before. Anything of this nature will be an existing bug in the backend (you could write an atomic float load), but this will definitely change the frequency with which such cases are encountered. If you see problems, feel free to revert this change, but please make sure you collect a test case.
Note that the concern about lowering is now much less likely. PR27490 proved that we already *were* mucking with the types of ordered atomics and volatiles. As a result, this change doesn't introduce as much new behavior as originally thought.

llvm-svn: 267692
This patch is what was the "instcombine" portion of D14185, with an additional
test added (see julia_pseudovec in test/Transforms/InstCombine/insert-val-extract-elem.ll).
The patch causes instcombine to replace sequences of extractelement-insertvalue-store
that act essentially like a bitcast followed by a store.
