The basic idea is that we can parameterize the getObjectSize implementation with a callback which lets us replace the operand before analysis if desired. This is what Attributor is doing during it's abstract interpretation, and allows us to have one copy of the code.
Note this is not NFC for two reasons:
* The existing attributor code is wrong. (Well, this is under-specified to be honest, but at least inconsistent.) The intermediate math needs to be done in the index type of the pointer space. Imagine e.g. i64 arguments in a 32 bit address space.
* I did not preserve the behavior in getAPInt where we return 0 for a partially analyzed value. This looks simply wrong in the original code, and nothing test wise contradicts that.

Not all allocation functions are removable if unused. An example of a non-removable allocation would be a direct call to the replaceable global allocation function in C++. An example of a removable one - at least according to historical practice - would be malloc.
(Split from original patch to separate non-NFC part and add coverage. I typoed when adding the new test, so this change includes the typo fix to let libfunc recongize the signature. Didn't figure it was worth another separate commit.)

There are a few places where the alignment argument for AlignedAllocLike functions was previously hardcoded. This patch adds an getAllocAlignment function and a change to the MemoryBuiltin table to allow alignment arguments to be found generically.
This will shortly allow alignment inference on operator new's with align_val params and an extension to Attributor's HeapToStack. The former will follow shortly - I split Bryce's patch for purpose of having the large change be NFC. The later will be reviewed separately.

We currently have two similar implementations of this concept:
isNoAliasCall() only checks for the noalias return attribute.
isNoAliasFn() also checks for allocation functions.
We should switch to only checking the attribute. SLC is responsible
for inferring the noalias return attribute for non-new allocation
functions (with a missing case fixed in
348bc76e35).
For new, clang is responsible for setting the attribute,
if -fno-assume-sane-operator-new is not passed.

strdup/strndup are already partially implemented, move remaining comment to relevant place. Remaining named routines are copy routines and mostly handled via intrinsics already - they do not allocate new memory.
This is a reoccuring pattern, we can consolidate three copies into one. The main motivation is to reduce usages of isMallocLike.
The original commit (which was quickly reverted) didn't account for the allocation function could be an invoke, test coverage for that case added in this commit.
This comment references behavior that was removed in
ccae43a247, which is a commit from 5 years
ago. It seems safe to assume that that behavior won't be coming back
soon. If it does, we can readd this part of the comment :)
This renames the primary methods for creating a zero value to `getZero`
instead of `getNullValue` and renames predicates like `isAllOnesValue`
to simply `isAllOnes`. This achieves two things:
1) This starts standardizing predicates across the LLVM codebase,
following (in this case) ConstantInt. The word "Value" doesn't
convey anything of merit, and is missing in some of the other things.
2) Calling an integer "null" doesn't make any sense. The original sin
here is mine and I've regretted it for years. This moves us to calling
it "zero" instead, which is correct!
APInt is widely used and I don't think anyone is keen to take massive source
breakage on anything so core, at least not all in one go. As such, this
doesn't actually delete any entrypoints, it "soft deprecates" them with a
comment.
Included in this patch are changes to a bunch of the codebase, but there are
more. We should normalize SelectionDAG and other APIs as well, which would
make the API change more mechanical.

There's no reason to use the weaker name-only analysis when we
have a function prototype to check (in fact, we probably should
not even have that name-only function exposed for general use,
but removing it requires auditing all of the callers).
The version of getLibFunc that takes a Function argument also
does some prototype checking to make sure the arguments/return
type match the expected signature of a real library call.
This is NFC-intended because the code in MemoryBuiltins does its
own function signature checking. For now, that means there may
be some redundancy in the checking, but that should not be above
the noise for compile-time. Ideally, we can move the checks to
a single location.
There's still a hole in the logic that allows the example in
https://llvm.org/PR50846 to cause a compiler crash.

When __builtin_dynamic_object_size returns a non-constant expression, it cannot
be -1 since that is an invalid return value for object size. However since

Recently we started looking into sret parameters, though the issue could crop
up elsewhere. If the pointee type is opaque, we should not try to compute its
size because that leads to an assertion failure.
This allows tracking the in-memory type of a pointer argument to a
function for ABI purposes. This is essentially a stripped down version
of byval to remove some of the stack-copy implications in its
definition.
This includes the base IR changes, and some tests for places where it
should be treated similarly to byval. Codegen support will be in a
future patch.
My original attempt at solving some of these problems was to repurpose
byval with a different address space from the stack. However, it is
technically permitted for the callee to introduce a write to the
argument, although nothing does this in reality. There is also talk of
removing and replacing the byval attribute, so a new attribute would
need to take its place anyway.
This is intended avoid some optimization issues with the current
handling of aggregate arguments, as well as fixes inflexibilty in how
frontends can specify the kernel ABI. The most honest representation
of the amdgpu_kernel convention is to expose all kernel arguments as
loads from constant memory. Today, these are raw, SSA Argument values
and codegen is responsible for turning these into loads.
Background:
There currently isn't a satisfactory way to represent how arguments
for the amdgpu_kernel calling convention are passed. In reality,
arguments are passed in a single, flat, constant memory buffer
implicitly passed to the function. It is also illegal to call this
function in the IR, and this is only ever invoked by a driver of some
kind.
It does not make sense to have a stack passed parameter in this
context as is implied by byval. It is never valid to write to the
kernel arguments, as this would corrupt the inputs seen by other
dispatches of the kernel. These argumets are also not in the same
address space as the stack, so a copy is needed to an alloca. From a
source C-like language, the kernel parameters are invisible.
Semantically, a copy is always required from the constant argument
memory to a mutable variable.
The current clang calling convention lowering emits raw values,
including aggregates into the function argument list, since using
byval would not make sense. This has some unfortunate consequences for
the optimizer. In the aggregate case, we end up with an aggregate
store to alloca, which both SROA and instcombine turn into a store of
each aggregate field. The optimizer never pieces this back together to
see that this is really just a copy from constant memory, so we end up
stuck with expensive stack usage.
This also means the backend dictates the alignment of arguments, and
arbitrarily picks the LLVM IR ABI type alignment. By allowing an
explicit alignment, frontends can make better decisions. For example,
there's real no advantage to an aligment higher than 4, so a frontend
could choose to compact the argument layout. Similarly, there is a
high penalty to using an alignment lower than 4, so a frontend could
opt into more padding for small arguments.
Another design consideration is when it is appropriate to expose the
fact that these arguments are all really passed in adjacent
memory. Currently we have a late IR optimization pass in codegen to
rewrite the kernel argument values into explicit loads to enable
vectorization. In most programs, unrelated argument loads can be
merged together. However, exposing this property directly from the
frontend has some disadvantages. We still need a way to track the
original argument sizes and alignments to report to the driver. I find
using some side-channel, metadata mechanism to track this
unappealing. If the kernel arguments were exposed as a single buffer
to begin with, alias analysis would be unaware that the padding bits
betewen arguments are meaningless. Another family of problems is there
are still some gaps in replacing all of the available parameter
attributes with metadata equivalents once lowered to loads.
The immediate plan is to start using this new attribute to handle all
aggregate argumets for kernels. Long term, it makes sense to migrate
all kernel arguments, including scalars, to be passed indirectly in
the same manner.
Additional context is in D79744.
When the byref attribute is added, there will need to be two similar
functions for the existing cases which have an associate value copy,
and byref which does not. Most, but not all of the existing uses will
use the existing version.
The associated size function added by D82679 also needs to
contextually differ, and will help eliminate a few places still
relying on pointee element types.
Summary:
Remove usages of asserting vector getters in Type in preparation for the
VectorType refactor. The existence of these functions complicates the
refactor while adding little value.

Summary:
This is the first change to enable the TLI to be built per-function so
that -fno-builtin* handling can be migrated to use function attributes.
See discussion on D61634 for background. This is an enabler for fixing
handling of these options for LTO, for example.
This change should not affect behavior, as the provided function is not
yet used to build a specifically per-function TLI, but rather enables
that migration.
Most of the changes were very mechanical, e.g. passing a Function to the
legacy analysis pass's getTLI interface, or in Module level cases,
adding a callback. This is similar to the way the per-function TTI
analysis works.
There was one place where we were looking for builtins but not in the
context of a specific function. See FindCXAAtExit in
lib/Transforms/IPO/GlobalOpt.cpp. I'm somewhat concerned my workaround
could provide the wrong behavior in some corner cases. Suggestions

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.

treating functions with allocsize as general allocation functions. This

we have room to be a bit more aggressive if we want.

llvm-svn: 266032
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.

to do the `noalias` check on the return value, and not the callee.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to test this upstream -- fixing
this does not change the observable behavior of any of the passes that
use this. This is not very surprising, since `noalias` does not tell
anything about the contents of the allocated memory (so, e.g., you
still cannot fold loads). I'll be happy to be proven wrong though.

This patch removes the isOperatorNewLike predicate since it was only being used to establish a non-null return value and we have attributes specifically for that purpose with generic handling. To keep approximate the same behaviour for existing frontends, I added the various operator new like (i.e. instances of operator new) to InferFunctionAttrs. It's not really clear to me why this isn't handled in Clang, but I didn't want to break existing code and any subtle assumptions it might have.
Once this patch is in, I'm going to start separating the isAllocLike family of predicates. These appear to be being used for a mixture of things which should be more clearly separated and documented. Today, they're being used to indicate (at least) aliasing facts, CSE-ability, and default values from an allocation site.

The compiler can take advantage of the allocation/deallocation
function's properties. We knew how to do this for Itanium but had no
support for MSVC-style functions.

Remove implicit ilist iterator conversions from LLVMAnalysis.
I came across something really scary in `llvm::isKnownNotFullPoison()`
which relied on `Instruction::getNextNode()` being completely broken
(not surprising, but scary nevertheless). This function is documented
(and coded to) return `nullptr` when it gets to the sentinel, but with
an `ilist_half_node` as a sentinel, the sentinel check looks into some
other memory and we don't recognize we've hit the end.
Rooting out these scary cases is the reason I'm removing the implicit
conversions before doing anything else with `ilist`; I'm not at all
surprised that clients rely on badness.
I found another scary case -- this time, not relying on badness, just
bad (but I guess getting lucky so far) -- in
`ObjectSizeOffsetEvaluator::compute_()`. Here, we save out the
insertion point, do some things, and then restore it. Previously, we
let the iterator auto-convert to `Instruction*`, and then set it back
using the `Instruction*` version:
Instruction *PrevInsertPoint = Builder.GetInsertPoint();
/* Logic that may change insert point */
if (PrevInsertPoint)
Builder.SetInsertPoint(PrevInsertPoint);
The check for `PrevInsertPoint` doesn't protect correctly against bad
accesses. If the insertion point has been set to the end of a basic
block (i.e., `SetInsertPoint(SomeBB)`), then `GetInsertPoint()` returns
an iterator pointing at the list sentinel. The version of
`SetInsertPoint()` that's getting called will then call
`PrevInsertPoint->getParent()`, which explodes horribly. The only
reason this hasn't blown up is that it's fairly unlikely the builder is
adding to the end of the block; usually, we're adding instructions
somewhere before the terminator.

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.
