Summary:
In D65186 and related patches, MustBeExecutedContextExplorer is introduced. This enables us to traverse instructions guaranteed to execute from function entry. If we can know the argument is used as `dereferenceable` or `nonnull` in these instructions, we can mark `dereferenceable` or `nonnull` in the argument definition:
1. Memory instruction (similar to D64258)
Trace memory instruction pointer operand. Currently, only inbounds GEPs are traced.
```
define i64* @f(i64* %a) {
entry:
%add.ptr = getelementptr inbounds i64, i64* %a, i64 1
; (because of inbounds GEP we can know that %a is at least dereferenceable(16))
store i64 1, i64* %add.ptr, align 8
ret i64* %add.ptr ; dereferenceable 8 (because above instruction stores into it)
}
```
2. Propagation from callsite (similar to D27855)
If `deref` or `nonnull` are known in call site parameter attributes we can also say that argument also that attribute.
```
declare void @use3(i8* %x, i8* %y, i8* %z);
declare void @use3nonnull(i8* nonnull %x, i8* nonnull %y, i8* nonnull %z);
define void @parent1(i8* %a, i8* %b, i8* %c) {
call void @use3nonnull(i8* %b, i8* %c, i8* %a)
; Above instruction is always executed so we can say that@parent1(i8* nonnnull %a, i8* nonnull %b, i8* nonnull %c)
call void @use3(i8* %c, i8* %a, i8* %b)
ret void
}
```

Summary:
There were segfaults as we modified and iterated the instruction maps in
the cache at the same time. This was happening because we created new
instructions while we populated the cache. This fix changes the order
in which we perform these actions. First, the caches for the whole
module are created, then we start to create abstract attributes.
I don't have a unit test but the LLVM test suite exposes this problem.

Summary:
This patch introduces initial `AAValueSimplify` which simplifies a value in a context.
example
- (for function returned) If all the return values are the same and constant, then we can replace callsite returned with the constant.
- If an internal function takes the same value(constant) as an argument in the callsite, then we can replace the argument with that constant.

Summary:
We create attributes on-demand so we need to check the white list
on-demand. This also unifies the location at which we create,
initialize, and eventually invalidate new abstract attributes.
The tests show mixed results, a few more call site attributes are
determined which can cause more iterations.

Add the no-capture argument attribute deduction to the Attributor
fixpoint framework.
The new string attributed "no-capture-maybe-returned" is introduced to
allow deduction of no-capture through functions that "capture" an
argument but only by "returning" it. It is only used by the Attributor
for testing.

llvm-svn: 370817
Summary:
Instead of recomputing information for call sites we now use the
function information directly. This is always valid and once we have
call site specific information we can improve here.
This patch also bootstraps attributes that are created on-demand through
an initial update call. Information that is known will then directly be
available in the new attribute without causing an iteration delay.
The tests show how this improves the iteration count.

As dependences between abstract attributes can become stale, e.g., if
one was sufficient to imply another one at some point but it has since
been wakened to the point it is not usable for the formerly implied one.
To weed out spurious dependences, and thereby eliminate unneeded
updates, we introduce an option to determine how often the dependence
cache is cleared and recomputed during the fixpoint iteration.
Note that the initial value was determined such that we see a positive
result on our tests.

Summary:
Until we have proper call-site information we should not recompute
liveness and return information for each call site. This patch directly
uses the function versions and introduces TODOs at the usage sites.
The required iterations to get to the fixpoint are most of the time
reduced by this change and we always avoid work duplication.

This patch adjust the way we count to make it easier to follow. It also
adjusts the bounds to actually account for a fixpoint and not only the
minimum number to pass all checks.

Locally the tight iterations bounds work fine but the bots seem unhappy.
Try to get green bots and some time to determine the underlying problem.

Summary:
To be able to track how many iterations we need to manifest all
information we check for we now make the maximum iteration count
explicit. The count is set tightly now and should be kept that way.

Before, we create the set of abstract attributes initially and then
dealt with the fact hat a lookup could fail, e.g., return a nullptr.
This patch will ensure we always return a valid object from a lookup,
allowing us not only to remove the nullptr checks but also to grow the
set of abstract attributes "in-flight" on-demand.
One can now start from those that have the best chance of improving
performance without the need to specify all they might depend on.
While this introduces some boilerplate, the usage of attributes is much
easier and cleaner now.

Summary:
This is analogous to D66128 but for AADereferenceable. We have the logic
concentrated in the floating value updateImpl and we use the combiner
helper classes for arguments and return values.
The regressions will go away with "on-demand" attribute creation.
Improvements are already visible in the existing tests.

Summary:
What D66126 did for AAAlign, this patch does for AANonNull. Agian, the
logic becomes more concise and localized. Again, returned poiners are
not annotated properly but that will not be an issue if this lands with
the "on-demand" generation of attributes. First improvements due to the
genericValueTraversal are already visible.

llvm-svn: 369328
Summary:
This is the first commit aiming to structure the attribute deduction.
The base idea is that we have default propagation patterns as listed
below on top of which we can add specific, e.g., context sensitive,
logic.
Deduction patterns used in this patch:
- argument states are determined from call site argument states,
see AAAlignArgument and AAArgumentFromCallSiteArguments.
- call site argument states are determined as if they were floating
values, see AAAlignCallSiteArgument and AAAlignFloating.
- floating value states are determined by traversing the def-use chain
and combining the states determined for the leaves, see
AAAlignFloating and genericValueTraversal.
- call site return states are determined from function return states,
see AAAlignCallSiteReturned and AACallSiteReturnedFromReturned.
- function return states are determined from returned value states,
see AAAlignReturned and AAReturnedFromReturnedValues.
Through this strategy all logic for alignment is concentrated in the
AAAlignFloating::updateImpl method.
Note: This commit works on its own but is part of a larger change that
involves "on-demand" creation of abstract attributes that will
participate in the fixpoint iteration. Without this part, we sometimes
do not have an AAAlign abstract attribute to query, loosing information
we determined before. All tests have appropriate FIXMEs and the
information will be recovered once we added all parts.

For consistency with normal instructions and clarity when reading IR,
it's best to print the %0, %1, ... names of function arguments in
definitions.
Also modifies the parser to accept IR in that form for obvious reasons.
