A function can be marked as norecurse if:
* The SCC to which it belongs has cardinality 1; and either
a) It does not call any non-norecurse function. This includes self-recursion; or
b) It only has one callsite and the function that callsite is within is marked norecurse.
a) is best propagated bottom-up and b) is best propagated top-down.
We build up the norecurse attributes bottom-up using the existing SCC pass, and mark functions with no obvious recursion (but not provably norecurse) to sweep later, top-down.

When working with tokens, it is often the case that one has instructions
which consume a token and produce a new token. Currently, we have no
mechanism to represent an initial token state.
Instead, we can create a notional "empty token" by inventing a new
constant which captures the semantics we would like. This new constant
is called ConstantTokenNone and is written textually as "token none".

When GlobalOpt splits an internal, global variable with an aggregate type, it
should propagate the externally_initialized flag to the newly created globals.
This makes the pass safe for our downstream use of this flag, while still
allowing some useful optimisations (such as removing dead parts of the split
aggregate) to be performed.

Previously, subprograms contained a metadata reference to the function they
described. Because most clients need to get or set a subprogram for a given
function rather than the other way around, this created unneeded inefficiency.
For example, many passes needed to call the function llvm::makeSubprogramMap()
to build a mapping from functions to subprograms, and the IR linker needed to
fix up function references in a way that caused quadratic complexity in the IR
linking phase of LTO.
This change reverses the direction of the edge by storing the subprogram as
function-level metadata and removing DISubprogram's function field.
Since this is an IR change, a bitcode upgrade has been provided.

Summary:
The goal of this pass is to perform store-to-load forwarding across the
backedge of a loop. E.g.:
for (i)
A[i + 1] = A[i] + B[i]
=>
T = A[0]
for (i)
T = T + B[i]
A[i + 1] = T
The pass relies on loop dependence analysis via LoopAccessAnalisys to
find opportunities of loop-carried dependences with a distance of one
between a store and a load. Since it's using LoopAccessAnalysis, it was
easy to also add support for versioning away may-aliasing intervening
stores that would otherwise prevent this transformation.
This optimization is also performed by Load-PRE in GVN without the
option of multi-versioning. As was discussed with Daniel Berlin in
http://reviews.llvm.org/D9548, this is inferior to a more loop-aware
solution applied here. Hopefully, we will be able to remove some
complexity from GVN/MemorySSA as a consequence.
In the long run, we may want to extend this pass (or create a new one if
there is little overlap) to also eliminate loop-indepedent redundant
loads and store that *require* versioning due to may-aliasing
intervening stores/loads. I have some motivating cases for store
elimination. My plan right now is to wait for MemorySSA to come online
first rather than using memdep for this.
The main motiviation for this pass is the 456.hmmer loop in SPECint2006
where after distributing the original loop and vectorizing the top part,
we are left with the critical path exposed in the bottom loop. Being
able to promote the memory dependence into a register depedence (even
though the HW does perform store-to-load fowarding as well) results in a
major gain (~20%). This gain also transfers over to x86: it's
around 8-10%.
Right now the pass is off by default and can be enabled
with -enable-loop-load-elim. On the LNT testsuite, there are two
performance changes (negative number -> improvement):
1. -28% in Polybench/linear-algebra/solvers/dynprog: the length of the
critical paths is reduced
2. +2% in Polybench/stencils/adi: Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce this
outside of LNT
The pass is scheduled after the loop vectorizer (which is after loop
distribution). The rational is to try to reuse LAA state, rather than
recomputing it. The order between LV and LLE is not critical because
normally LV does not touch scalar st->ld forwarding cases where
vectorizing would inhibit the CPU's st->ld forwarding to kick in.
LoopLoadElimination requires LAA to provide the full set of dependences
(including forward dependences). LAA is known to omit loop-independent
dependences in certain situations. The big comment before
removeDependencesFromMultipleStores explains why this should not occur
for the cases that we're interested in.

transformations in FunctionAttrs rather than building a new one each
time.
This isn't trivial because there are different heuristics from different
passes for exactly what set they want. The primary difference is whether
an *overridable* function completely disables the synthesis of
attributes. I've modeled this by directly testing for overridable, and
using the common set that excludes external and opt-none functions.
This does cause some changes by disabling more optimizations in the face
of opt-none. Specifically, we were still optimizing *calls* to opt-none
functions based on their attributes, just not the bodies. It seems
better to be conservative on both fronts given the intended semanticas
here (best effort to not assume or disturb anything). I've not tried to
test this change as it seems complex, brittle, and not important to the
implicit contract of opt-none. Instead, it seems more like a choice that
should be dictated by the simplified implementation and the change to be
acceptable differences within the space of opt-none.
A big benefit here is that these transformations no longer rely on the
legacy pass manager's SCC types, they just work on generic sets of
function pointers. This will make it easy to re-use their logic in the
new pass manager.
I've also made the transforms static functions instead of members where
trivial while I was touching the signatures.

This adds the flag -mllvm -sample-profile-check-coverage=N to the
SampleProfile pass. N is the percent of input sample records that the
user expects to apply. If the pass does not use N% (or more) of the
sample records in the input, it emits a warning.
This is useful to detect some forms of stale profiles. If the code has
drifted enough from the original profile, there will be records that do
not match the IR anymore.
This will not detect cases where a sample profile record for line L is
referring to some other instructions that also used to be at line L.

Invoking a function which returns an aggregate can sometimes be
transformed to return a scalar value. However, this means that we need
to create an insertvalue instruction(s) to recreate the correct
aggregate type. We achieved this by inserting an insertvalue
instruction at the invoke's normal successor. However, this is not
feasible if the normal successor uses the invoke's return value inside a
PHI node.
Instead, split the edge between the invoke and the unwind successor and
create the insertvalue instruction in the new basic block. The new
basic block's successor will be the old invoke successor which leaves
us with IR which is well behaved.

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.

Summary:
This patch introduces a side table in Merge Functions to
efficiently remove functions from the function set when functions
they refer to are merged. Previously these functions would need to
be compared lg(N) times to find the appropriate FunctionNode in the
tree to defer. With the recent determinism changes, this comparison
is more expensive. In addition, the removal function would not always
actually remove the function from the set (i.e. after remove(F),
there would sometimes still be a node in the tree which contains F).
With these changes, these functions are properly deferred, and so more
functions can be merged. In addition, when there are many merged
functions (and thus more deferred functions), there is a speedup:
chromium: 48678 merged -> 49380 merged; 6.58s -> 5.49s
libxul.so: 41004 merged -> 41030 merged; 8.02s -> 6.94s

Teach FunctionAttr to infer the nonnull attribute on return values of functions which never return a potentially null value. This is done both via a conservative local analysis for the function itself and a optimistic per-SCC analysis. If no function in the SCC returns anything which could be null (other than values from other functions in the SCC), we can conclude no function returned a null pointer. Even if some function within the SCC returns a null pointer, we may be able to locally conclude that some don't.

Summary:
This patch removes two remaining places where pointer value comparisons
are used to order functions: comparing range annotation metadata, and comparing
block address constants. (These are both rare cases, and so no actual
non-determinism was observed from either case).
The fix for range metadata is simple: the annotation always consists of a pair
of integers, so we just order by those integers.
The fix for block addresses is more subtle. Two constants are the same if they
are the same basic block in the same function, or if they refer to corresponding
basic blocks in each respective function. Note that in the first case, merging
is trivially correct. In the second, the correctness of merging relies on the
fact that the the values of block addresses cannot be compared. This change is
actually an enhancement, as these functions could not previously be merged (see
merge-block-address.ll).
There is still a problem with cross function block addresses, in that constants
pointing to a basic block in a merged function is not updated.
This also more robustly compares floating point constants by all fields of their
semantics, and fixes a dyn_cast/cast mixup.

The problem here were the function analyses invoked by the function pass
manager from the new IPO pass. I looked at other IPO passes needing
dominance information and the only one that requires it (partial
inliner) does not use the standard dependency mechanism.
This patch mimics what the partial inliner does to compute dominance,
post-dominance and loop info. One thing I like about this approach is
that I can delay the computation of all this until I actually need it.
This should bring the ASAN buildbot back to green. If there's a better
way to fix this, I'll do it in a follow-up patch.

Summary: When comparing basic blocks, there is an additional check that two Value*'s should have the same ID, which interferes with merging equivalent constants of different kinds (such as a ConstantInt and a ConstantPointerNull in the included testcase). The cmpValues function already ensures that the two values in each function are the same, so removing this check should not cause incorrect merging.
Also, the type comparison is redundant, based on reviewing the code and testing on the test suite and several large LTO bitcodes.

TL-DR: SROA is followed by EarlyCSE which requires the DominatorTree.
There is no reason not to require it up-front for SROA.
Some history is necessary to understand why we ended-up here.
r123437 switched the second (Legacy)SROA in the optimizer pipeline to
use SSAUpdater in order to avoid recomputing the costly
DominanceFrontier. The purpose was to speed-up the compile-time.
Later r123609 removed the need for the DominanceFrontier in
(Legacy)SROA.
Right after, some cleanup was made in r123724 to remove any reference
to the DominanceFrontier. SROA existed in two flavors: SROA_SSAUp and
SROA_DT (the latter replacing SROA_DF).
The second argument of `createScalarReplAggregatesPass` was renamed
from `UseDomFrontier` to `UseDomTree`.
I believe this is were a mistake was made. The pipeline was not
updated and the call site was still:
PM->add(createScalarReplAggregatesPass(-1, false));

Summary:
Merge functions previously relied on unsigned comparisons of pointer values to
order functions. This caused observable non-determinism in the compiler for
large bitcode programs. Basically, opt -mergefuncs program.bc | md5sum produces
different hashes when run repeatedly on the same machine. Differing output was
observed on three large bitcodes, but it was less frequent on the smallest file.
It is possible that this only manifests on the large inputs, hence remaining
undetected until now.
This patch fixes this by removing (almost, see below) all places where
comparisons between pointers are used to order functions. Most of these changes
are local, but the comparison of global values requires assigning an identifier
to each local in the order it is visited. This is very similar to the way the
comparison function identifies Value*'s defined within a function. Because the
order of visiting the functions and their subparts is deterministic, the
identifiers assigned to the globals will be as well, and the order of functions
will be deterministic.
With these changes, there is no more observed non-determinism. There is also
only minor slowdowns (negligible to 4%) compared to the baseline, which is
likely a result of the fact that global comparisons involve hash lookups and not
just pointer comparisons.
The one caveat so far is that programs containing BlockAddress constants can
still be non-deterministic. It is not clear what the right solution is here. In
particular, even if the global numbers are used to order by function, we still
need a way to order the BasicBlock*'s. Unfortunately, we cannot just bail out
and fail to order the functions or consider them equal, because we require a
total order over functions. Note that programs with BlockAddress constants are
relatively rare, so the impact of leaving this in is minor as long as this pass
is opt-in.

folding the code into the main Analysis library.
There already wasn't much of a distinction between Analysis and IPA.
A number of the passes in Analysis are actually IPA passes, and there
doesn't seem to be any advantage to separating them.
Moreover, it makes it hard to have interactions between analyses that
are both local and interprocedural. In trying to make the Alias Analysis
infrastructure work with the new pass manager, it becomes particularly
awkward to navigate this split.
I've tried to find all the places where we referenced this, but I may
have missed some. I have also adjusted the C API to continue to be
equivalently functional after this change.

This patch makes the Merge Functions pass faster by calculating and comparing
a hash value which captures the essential structure of a function before
performing a full function comparison.
The hash is calculated by hashing the function signature, then walking the basic
blocks of the function in the same order as the main comparison function. The
opcode of each instruction is hashed in sequence, which means that different
functions according to the existing total order cannot have the same hash, as
the comparison requires the opcodes of the two functions to be the same order.
The hash function is a static member of the FunctionComparator class because it
is tightly coupled to the exact comparison function used. For example, functions
which are equivalent modulo a single variant callsite might be merged by a more
aggressive MergeFunctions, and the hash function would need to be insensitive to
these differences in order to exploit this.
The hashing function uses a utility class which accumulates the values into an
internal state using a standard bit-mixing function. Note that this is a different interface
than a regular hashing routine, because the values to be hashed are scattered
amongst the properties of a llvm::Function, not linear in memory. This scheme is
fast because only one word of state needs to be kept, and the mixing function is
a few instructions.
The main runOnModule function first computes the hash of each function, and only
further processes functions which do not have a unique function hash. The hash
is also used to order the sorted function set. If the hashes differ, their
values are used to order the functions, otherwise the full comparison is done.
Both of these are helpful in speeding up MergeFunctions. Together they result in
speedups of 9% for mysqld (a mostly C application with little redundancy), 46%
for libxul in Firefox, and 117% for Chromium. (These are all LTO builds.) In all
three cases, the new speed of MergeFunctions is about half that of the module
verifier, making it relatively inexpensive even for large LTO builds with
hundreds of thousands of functions. The same functions are merged, so this
change is free performance.

This introduces the basic functionality to support "token types".
The motivation stems from the need to perform operations on a Value
whose provenance cannot be obscured.
There are several applications for such a type but my immediate
motivation stems from WinEH. Our personality routine enforces a
single-entry - single-exit regime for cleanups. After several rounds of
optimizations, we may be left with a terminator whose "cleanup-entry
block" is not entirely clear because control flow has merged two
cleanups together. We have experimented with using labels as operands
inside of instructions which are not terminators to indicate where we
came from but found that LLVM does not expect such exotic uses of
BasicBlocks.
Instead, we can use this new type to clearly associate the "entry point"
and "exit point" of our cleanup. This is done by having the cleanuppad
yield a Token and consuming it at the cleanupret.
The token type makes it impossible to obscure or otherwise hide the
Value, making it trivial to track the relationship between the two
points.
What is the burden to the optimizer? Well, it turns out we have already
paid down this cost by accepting that there are certain calls that we
are not permitted to duplicate, optimizations have to watch out for
such instructions anyway. There are additional places in the optimizer
that we will probably have to update but early examination has given me
the impression that this will not be heroic.

In NVPTX, a specialized instruction ld.global.nc can be used to load memory

function arguments are not marked with readonly because FunctionAttrs reaches
a hardcoded threshold when analysis uses.

In order to do this, they had to become fake-scoped using the
traditional LLVM pattern of a leading initialism. These can't be actual
scoped enumerations because they're bitfields and thus inherently we use
them as integers.
I've also renamed the behavior enums that are specific to reasoning
about the mod/ref behavior of functions when called. This makes it more
clear that they have a very narrow domain of applicability.
I think there is a significantly cleaner API for all of this, but
I don't want to try to do really substantive changes for now, I just
want to refactor the things away from analysis groups so I'm preserving

Summary:
While working on a project I wound up generating a fairly large lookup table (10k entries) of callbacks inside of a static constructor. Clang was taking upwards of ~10 minutes to compile the lookup table. I generated a smaller test case (http://www.inolen.com/static_initializer_test.ll) that, after running with -ftime-report, pointed fingers at GlobalOpt and MemCpyOptimizer.
Running globalopt took around ~9 minutes. The slowdown came from how GlobalOpt merged stores from static constructors individually into the global initializer in EvaluateStaticConstructor. For each store it discovered and wanted to commit, it would copy the existing global initializer and then merge in the individual store. I changed this so that stores are now grouped by global, and sorted from most significant to least significant by their GEP indexes (e.g. a store to GEP 0, 0 comes before GEP 0, 0, 1). With this representation, the existing initializer can be copied and all new stores merged into it in a single pass.
With this patch and http://reviews.llvm.org/D11198, the lookup table that was taking ~10 minutes to compile now compiles in around 5 seconds. I've ran 'make check' and the test-suite, which all passed.
I'm not really sure who to tag as a reviewer, Lang mentioned that Chandler may be appropriate.

Internalizing an individual comdat group member without also internalizing
the other members of the comdat can break comdat semantics. For example,
if a module contains a reference to an internalized comdat member, and the
linker chooses a comdat group from a different object file, this will break
the reference to the internalized member.
This change causes the internalizer to only internalize comdat members if all
other members of the comdat are not externally visible. Once a comdat group
has been fully internalized, there is no need to apply comdat rules to its
members; later optimization passes (e.g. globaldce) can legally drop individual
members of the comdat. So we drop the comdat attribute from all comdat members.

No in-tree alias analysis used this facility, and it was not called in
any particularly rigorous way, so it seems unlikely to be correct.
Note that one of the only stateful AA implementations in-tree,
GlobalsModRef is completely broken currently (and any AA passes like it
are equally broken) because Module AA passes are not effectively
invalidated when a function pass that fails to update the AA stack runs.
Ultimately, it doesn't seem like we know how we want to build stateful
AA, and until then trying to support and maintain correctness for an
untested API is essentially impossible. To that end, I'm planning to rip
out all of the update API. It can return if and when we need it and know
how to build it on top of the new pass manager and as part of *tested*

Add new EliminateAvailableExternally module pass, which is performed in

This pass eliminates available externally globals (turning them into
declarations), regardless of whether they are dead/unreferenced, since
we are guaranteed to have a copy available elsewhere at link time.
This enables additional opportunities for GlobalDCE.
If we are preparing for LTO (e.g. a -flto -c compile), the pass is not
included as we want to preserve available externally functions for possible
link time inlining. The FE indicates whether we are doing an -flto compile
via the new PrepareForLTO flag on the PassManagerBuilder.

From the linker's perspective, an available_externally global is equivalent
to an external declaration (per isDeclarationForLinker()), so it is incorrect
to consider it to be a weak definition.

introduce GlobalValue::isStrongDefinitionForLinker() and start using
it throughout the optimizers and backend.

It is possible for a global to be substituted with another global of a
different type or a different kind (i.e. an alias) at IR link time. One
example of this scenario is when a Microsoft ABI vtable is substituted with
an alias referring to a larger vtable containing an RTTI reference.
This will cause the global to be RAUW'd with a possibly bitcasted reference
to the other global. This will of course also affect any references to the
global in bitset metadata.
The right way to handle such metadata is simply to ignore it. This is sound
because the linked module should contain another copy of the bitset entries as
applied to the new global.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an

This patch adds the safe stack instrumentation pass to LLVM, which separates
the program stack into a safe stack, which stores return addresses, register
spills, and local variables that are statically verified to be accessed
in a safe way, and the unsafe stack, which stores everything else. Such
separation makes it much harder for an attacker to corrupt objects on the
safe stack, including function pointers stored in spilled registers and
return addresses. You can find more information about the safe stack, as
well as other parts of or control-flow hijack protection technique in our
OSDI paper on code-pointer integrity (http://dslab.epfl.ch/pubs/cpi.pdf)
and our project website (http://levee.epfl.ch).
The overhead of our implementation of the safe stack is very close to zero
(0.01% on the Phoronix benchmarks). This is lower than the overhead of
stack cookies, which are supported by LLVM and are commonly used today,
yet the security guarantees of the safe stack are strictly stronger than
stack cookies. In some cases, the safe stack improves performance due to
better cache locality.
Our current implementation of the safe stack is stable and robust, we
used it to recompile multiple projects on Linux including Chromium, and
we also recompiled the entire FreeBSD user-space system and more than 100
packages. We ran unit tests on the FreeBSD system and many of the packages
and observed no errors caused by the safe stack. The safe stack is also fully
binary compatible with non-instrumented code and can be applied to parts of
a program selectively.
This patch is our implementation of the safe stack on top of LLVM. The
patches make the following changes:
- Add the safestack function attribute, similar to the ssp, sspstrong and
sspreq attributes.
- Add the SafeStack instrumentation pass that applies the safe stack to all
functions that have the safestack attribute. This pass moves all unsafe local
variables to the unsafe stack with a separate stack pointer, whereas all
safe variables remain on the regular stack that is managed by LLVM as usual.
- Invoke the pass as the last stage before code generation (at the same time
the existing cookie-based stack protector pass is invoked).
- Add unit tests for the safe stack.

If the first argument to a function is a 'this' argument and the second

Although this IR constraint is arguably unnecessary, it highlighted the fact
that ArgPromotion does not need to preserve this attribute. Dropping the

copy required by sret. Because sret implies noalias, we also replace the
