Most clients only used these methods because they wanted to be able to
extend or truncate to the same bit width (which is a no-op). Now that
the standard zext, sext and trunc allow this, there is no reason to use
the OrSelf versions.
The OrSelf versions additionally have the strange behaviour of allowing
extending to a *smaller* width, or truncating to a *larger* width, which
are also treated as no-ops. A small amount of client code relied on this
(ConstantRange::castOp and MicrosoftCXXNameMangler::mangleNumber) and
needed rewriting.

This removes memset with undef char. We already do this for stores
of undef value.
This comes with the caveat that this optimization is not, strictly
speaking, legal for undef values, because we might be overwriting
a poison value. However, our entire load/store model currently still
operates on undef values, so we need to support undef here as well
for internal consistency.
Once https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/52930 is resolved,
these and related folds can be limited to poison -- I've added
FIXMEs to that effect.

This code replaces the address space of the pointers while keeping
the element type. Use the appropriate helpers to make this work
with opaque pointers.
Instead use either Type::getPointerElementType() or
Type::getNonOpaquePointerElementType().
This is part of D117885, in preparation for deprecating the API.
Officially this is currently required to always use the datalayout's
alloca address space. This may change in the future, and it's cleaner
to propagate the existing alloca's addrspace anyway.
This is a triple fix. Initially the change in simplifyAllocaArraySize
would drop the address space, but produce output. Fixing this hit an
assertion in the cast combine.
This patch also makes the changes to handle this situation from
a33e128012 dead, so eliminate
it. InstCombine should not take it upon itself to introduce
addrspacecasts, and preserve the original address space instead.
These are deprecated and should be replaced with getAlign().
Some of these asserts don't do anything because Load/Store/AllocaInst never have a 0 align value.
This patch continues unblocking optimizations that are blocked by pseudo probe instrumentation.
Not exactly like DbgIntrinsics, PseudoProbe intrinsic has other attributes (such as mayread, maywrite, mayhaveSideEffect) that can block optimizations. The issues fixed are:
- Flipped default param of getFirstNonPHIOrDbg API to skip pseudo probes
- Unblocked CSE by avoiding pseudo probe from clobbering memory SSA
- Unblocked induction variable simpliciation
- Allow empty loop deletion by treating probe intrinsic isDroppable
- Some refactoring.

This patch allows lifetime calls to be ignored (and later erased) if we
know that the copy-constant-to-alloca optimization is going to happen.
The case that is missed is when the global variable is in a different address

While we might eventually want to disallow allocas that do not have the

When the load type is changed to ptr, we need the load pointer type
to also be ptr, because it's not allowed to create a pointer to an
opaque pointer. This is achieved by adjusting the getPointerTo() API
to return an opaque pointer for an opaque pointer base type.

This patch updates InstCombine to use poison constant to represent the resulting value of (either semantically or syntactically) unreachable instrs, or a don't-care value of an unreachable store instruction.
This allows more aggressive folding of unused results, as shown in llvm/test/Transforms/InstCombine/getelementptr.ll .

As a follow-up to D95982, this patch continues unblocking optimizations that are blocked by pseudu probe instrumention.
The optimizations unblocked are:
- In-block load propagation.
- In-block dead store elimination
- Memory copy optimization that turns stores to consecutive memories into a memset.
These optimizations are local to a block, so they shouldn't affect the profile quality.

This transformation is fundamentally broken when it comes to dominance,
it just happened to work when the source of the memcpy can be moved into
the place of the alloca. The bug shows up a lot more often since
077bff39d4 allows the source to be a
switch.
It would be possible to check dominance of the source and all its
operands, but that seems very heavy for instcombine.
After 077bff39d4,
isDereferenceableForAllocaSize() can recurse into selects,
which is causing a problem for the new test case,
reduced from https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20210412/904154.html
because the replacement (the select) is defined after the first use
of an alloca, so we'd end up with a verifier error.
Now, this new check is too restrictive.
We likely can handle *some* cases, by trying to sink all uses of an alloca
to after the the def.
FindAvailableLoadedValue() accepts an iterator by reference. If no
available value is found, then the iterator will either be left
at a clobbering instruction or the beginning of the basic block.
This allows using FindAvailableLoadedValue() across multiple blocks.
If this functionality is not needed, as is the case in InstCombine,
then we can use a much more efficient implementation: First try
to find an available value, and only perform clobber checks if
we actually found one. As this function only looks at a very small
number of instructions (6 by default) and usually doesn't find an
available value, this saves many expensive alias analysis queries.
The load/store instruction will be transformed to amx intrinsics in the
pass of AMX type lowering. Prohibiting the pointer cast make that pass
happy.

The x86_amx is used for AMX intrisics. <256 x i32> is bitcast to x86_amx when
it is used by AMX intrinsics, and x86_amx is bitcast to <256 x i32> when it
is used by load/store instruction. So amx intrinsics only operate on type x86_amx.
It can help to separate amx intrinsics from llvm IR instructions (+-*/).

This reverts commit 899faa50f2.
Upon further consideration, this does not fix the right issue.
Doing this fold for non-inbounds GEPs is legal, because the
resulting pointer is still based-on null, which has no associated
address range, and as such and access to it is UB.
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48577#c3
Effectively, this is what we were previously already doing when
the GEP was used in conjunction with a load or store, but this
fold can also be applied more generally:
> The only in bounds address for a null pointer in the default
> address-space is the null pointer itself.
If the GEP isn't inbounds, then accessing a GEP of null location
is generally not UB.
While this is a minimal fix, the GEP of null handling should
probably be its own fold.
The warning would fire when calling canReplaceGEPIdxWithZero on a GEP
whose source element type is a scalable vector. The size of scalable
vector types is not known, so this optimization cannot be performed.
This patch fixes the issue by:
- bailing out early in this routine if the GEP instruction's source
element type is a scalable vector.
- making use of getFixedSize -- this removes the dependency on the
deprecated interface.

This patch adds metadata !noundef and makes load instructions can optionally have it.
A load with !noundef always return a well-defined value (has no undef bit or isn't poison).
If the loaded value isn't well defined, the behavior is undefined.
This metadata can be used to encode the assumption from C/C++ that certain reads of variables should have well-defined values.
It is helpful for optimizing freeze instructions away, because freeze can be removed when its operand has well-defined value, and showing that a load from arbitrary location is well-defined is usually hard otherwise.
The same information can be encoded with llvm.assume with operand bundle; using metadata is chosen because I wasn't sure whether code motion can be freely done when llvm.assume is inserted from clang instead.
The existing codebase already is stripping unknown metadata when doing code motion, so using metadata is UB-safe as well.

This was broken by 16295d521e, when
instructions started being handled and not just constant
expressions. This was re-inserting an equivalent bitcast to the
original memcpy operand, which made a non-functional IR change on
every iteration.
This also fixes a secondary problem where it was inserting
addrspacecasts which may not have been legal (i.e. it changed the
source address space). Start visiting all pointer users and fail out
if we can't process them. Also start handling the relevant memory
intrinsic users. These cases can be dealt with by running
InferAddressSpaces separately.
And another step towards transforms not introducing inttoptr and/or
ptrtoint casts that weren't there already.
As we've been establishing (see D88788/D88789), if there is a int<->ptr cast,
it basically must stay as-is, we can't do much with it.
I've looked, and the most source of new such casts being introduces,
as far as i can tell, is this transform, which, ironically,
tries to reduce count of casts..
On vanilla llvm test-suite + RawSpeed, @ `-O3`, this results in
-33.58% less `IntToPtr`s (19014 -> 12629)
and +76.20% more `PtrToInt`s (18589 -> 32753),
which is an increase of +20.69% in total.
However just on RawSpeed, where i know there are basically
none `IntToPtr` in the original source code,
this results in -99.27% less `IntToPtr`s (2724 -> 20)
and +82.92% more `PtrToInt`s (4513 -> 8255).
which is again an increase of 14.34% in total.
To me this does seem like the step in the right direction,
we end up with strictly less `IntToPtr`, but strictly more `PtrToInt`,
which seems like a reasonable trade-off.

(it was introduced in https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-January/080956.html)
This canonicalization seems dubious.
Most importantly, while it does not create `inttoptr` casts by itself,
it may cause them to appear later, see e.g. D88788.
I think it's pretty obvious that it is an undesirable outcome,
by now we've established that seemingly no-op `inttoptr`/`ptrtoint` casts
are not no-op, and are no longer eager to look past them.
Which e.g. means that given
```
%a = load i32
%b = inttoptr %a
%c = inttoptr %a
```
we likely won't be able to tell that `%b` and `%c` is the same thing.
As we can see in D88789 / D88788 / D88806 / D75505,
we can't really teach SCEV about this (not without the https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47592 at least)
And we can't recover the situation post-inlining in instcombine.
So it really does look like this fold is actively breaking
otherwise-good IR, in a way that is not recoverable.
And that means, this fold isn't helpful in exposing the passes
that are otherwise unaware of these patterns it produces.
Thusly, i propose to simply not perform such a canonicalization.
The original motivational RFC does not state what larger problem
that canonicalization was trying to solve, so i'm not sure
how this plays out in the larger picture.
On vanilla llvm test-suite + RawSpeed, this results in
increase of asm instructions and final object size by ~+0.05%
decreases final count of bitcasts by -4.79% (-28990),
ptrtoint casts by -15.41% (-3423),
and of inttoptr casts by -25.59% (-6919, *sic*).
Overall, there's -0.04% less IR blocks, -0.39% instructions.

For a long time, the InstCombine pass handled target specific
intrinsics. Having target specific code in general passes was noted as
an area for improvement for a long time.
D81728 moves most target specific code out of the InstCombine pass.
Applying the target specific combinations in an extra pass would
probably result in inferior optimizations compared to the current
fixed-point iteration, therefore the InstCombine pass resorts to newly
introduced functions in the TargetTransformInfo when it encounters
unknown intrinsics.
The patch should not have any effect on generated code (under the
assumption that code never uses intrinsics from a foreign target).
This introduces three new functions:
TargetTransformInfo::instCombineIntrinsic
TargetTransformInfo::simplifyDemandedUseBitsIntrinsic
TargetTransformInfo::simplifyDemandedVectorEltsIntrinsic
A few target specific parts are left in the InstCombine folder, where
it makes sense to share code. The largest left-over part in
InstCombineCalls.cpp is the code shared between arm and aarch64.
This allows to move about 3000 lines out from InstCombine to the targets.

We can happen to have a situation with many stores eligible for transform,
but due to our visitation order (top to bottom), when we have processed
the first eligible instruction, we would not try to reprocess the previous
instructions that are now also eligible.
So after we've successfully merged a store that was second-to-last instruction
into successor, if the now-second-to-last instruction is also a such store
that is eligible, add it to worklist to be revisited.

This is D77454, except for stores. All the infrastructure work was done

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D79968
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.
