basic changes to the IR such as folding pointers through PHIs, Selects,
integer casts, store/load pairs, or outlining.
This leaves the feature available behind a flag. This flag's default
could be flipped if necessary, but the real-world performance impact of
this particular feature of GMR may not be sufficiently significant for
many folks to want to run the risk.
Currently, the risk here is somewhat mitigated by half-hearted attempts
to update GlobalsModRef when the rest of the optimizer changes
something. However, I am currently trying to remove that update
mechanism as it makes migrating the AA infrastructure to a form that can
be readily shared between new and old pass managers very challenging.
Without this update mechanism, it is possible that this still unlikely
failure mode will start to trip people, and so I wanted to try to
proactively avoid that.
There is a lengthy discussion on the mailing list about why the core
approach here is flawed, and likely would need to look totally different
to be both reasonably effective and resilient to basic IR changes
occuring. This patch is essentially the first of two which will enact
the result of that discussion. The next patch will remove the current
update mechanism.
Thanks to lots of folks that helped look at this from different angles.
Especial thanks to Michael Zolotukhin for doing some very prelimanary
benchmarking of LTO without GlobalsModRef to get a rough idea of the
impact we could be facing here. So far, it looks very small, but there
are some concerns lingering from other benchmarking. The default here
may get flipped if performance results end up pointing at this as a more
significant issue.
Also thanks to Pete and Gerolf for reviewing!

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

cycles
This allows the value equality check to work even if we don't have a dominator
tree. Also add some more comments.
I was worried about compile time impacts and did not implement reachability but
used the dominance check in the initial patch. The trade-off was that the
dominator tree was required.
The llvm utility function isPotentiallyReachable cuts off the recursive search
after 32 visits. Testing did not show any compile time regressions showing my
worries unjustfied.
No compile time or performance regressions at O3 -flto -mavx on test-suite +
externals.
Addresses review comments from r198290.

When there are cycles in the value graph we have to be careful interpreting
"Value*" identity as "value" equivalence. We interpret the value of a phi node
as the value of its operands.
When we check for value equivalence now we make sure that the "Value*" dominates
all cycles (phis).
%0 = phi [%noaliasval, %addr2]
%l = load %ptr
%addr1 = gep @a, 0, %l
%addr2 = gep @a, 0, (%l + 1)
store %ptr ...
Before this patch we would return NoAlias for (%0, %addr1) which is wrong
because the value of the load is from different iterations of the loop.
Tested on x86_64 -mavx at O3 and O3 -flto with no performance or compile time
regressions.
