The globals being generated here were given the 'private' linkage type. However,
this caused them to end up in different sections with the wrong prefix. E.g.,
they would be in the __TEXT,__const section with an 'L' prefix instead of an 'l'
(lowercase ell) prefix.
The problem is that the linker will eat a literal label with 'L'. If a weak
symbol is then placed into the __TEXT,__const section near that literal, then it
cannot distinguish between the literal and the weak symbol.
Part of the problems here was introduced because the address sanitizer converted
some C strings into constant initializers with trailing nuls. (Thus putting them
in the __const section with the wrong prefix.) The others were variables that
the address sanitizer created but simply had the wrong linkage type.

Our internal regex implementation does not cope with large numbers
of anchors very efficiently. Given a ~3600-entry special case list,
regex compilation can take on the order of seconds. This patch solves
the problem for the special case of patterns matching literal global
names (i.e. patterns with no regex metacharacters). Rather than
forming regexes from literal global name patterns, add them to
a StringSet which is checked before matching against the regex.
This reduces regex compilation time by an order of roughly thousands
when reading the aforementioned special case list, according to a
completely unscientific study.
No test cases. I figure that any new tests for this code should
check that regex metacharacters are properly recognised. However,
I could not find any documentation which documents the fact that the
syntax of global names in special case lists is based on regexes.
The extent to which regex syntax is supported in special case lists
should probably be decided on/documented before writing tests.

infrastructure to do promotion without a domtree the same smarts about
looking through GEPs, bitcasts, etc., that I just taught mem2reg about.
This way, if SROA chooses to promote an alloca which still has some
noisy instructions this code can cope with them.
I've not used as principled of an approach here for two reasons:
1) This code doesn't really need it as we were already set up to zip
through the instructions used by the alloca.
2) I view the code here as more of a hack, and hopefully a temporary one.
The SSAUpdater path in SROA is a real sore point for me. It doesn't make
a lot of architectural sense for many reasons:
- We're likely to end up needing the domtree anyways in a subsequent
pass, so why not compute it earlier and use it.
- In the future we'll likely end up needing the domtree for parts of the
inliner itself.
- If we need to we could teach the inliner to preserve the domtree. Part
of the re-work of the pass manager will allow this to be very powerful
even in large SCCs with many functions.
- Ultimately, computing a domtree has gotten significantly faster since
the original SSAUpdater-using code went into ScalarRepl. We no longer
use domfrontiers, and much of domtree is lazily done based on queries
rather than eagerly.
- At this point keeping the SSAUpdater-based promotion saves a total of
0.7% on a build of the 'opt' tool for me. That's not a lot of
performance given the complexity!
So I'm leaving this a bit ugly in the hope that eventually we just
remove all of this nonsense.
I can't even readily test this because this code isn't reachable except
through SROA. When I re-instate the patch that fast-tracks allocas
already suitable for promotion, I'll add a testcase there that failed
before this change. Before that, SROA will fix any test case I give it.

uses of an alloca, we can pre-compute promotability while analyzing an
alloca for splitting in SROA. That lets us short-circuit the common case
of a bunch of trivially promotable allocas. This cuts 20% to 30% off the
run time of SROA for typical frontend-generated IR sequneces I'm seeing.
It gets the new SROA to within 20% of ScalarRepl for such code. My
current benchmark for these numbers is PR15412, but it fits the general
pattern of IR emitted by Clang so it should be widely applicable.

this. We build up a kill list during the analysis and then just process
it afterward. This recovers the tiny bit of performance lost by moving
to the visitor based analysis system as it removes one entire use-list

previously.

robust. It now uses an InstVisitor and worklist to actually walk the
uses of the Alloca transitively and detect the pattern which we can
directly promote: loads & stores of the whole alloca and instructions we
can completely ignore.
Also, with this new implementation teach both the predicate for testing
whether we can promote and the promotion engine itself to use the same
code so we no longer have strange divergence between the two code paths.
I've added some silly test cases to demonstrate that we can handle
slightly more degenerate code patterns now. See the below for why this
is even interesting.
Performance impact: roughly 1% regression in the performance of SROA or
ScalarRepl on a large C++-ish test case where most of the allocas are
basically ready for promotion. The reason is because of silly redundant
work that I've left FIXMEs for and which I'll address in the next
commit. I wanted to separate this commit as it changes the behavior.
Once the redundant work in removing the dead uses of the alloca is
fixed, this code appears to be faster than the old version. =]
So why is this useful? Because the previous requirement for promotion
required a *specific* visit pattern of the uses of the alloca to verify:
we *had* to look for no more than 1 intervening use. The end goal is to
have SROA automatically detect when an alloca is already promotable and
directly hand it to the mem2reg machinery rather than trying to
partition and rewrite it. This is a 25% or more performance improvement
for SROA, and a significant chunk of the delta between it and
ScalarRepl. To get there, we need to make mem2reg actually capable of
promoting allocas which *look* promotable to SROA without have SROA do
tons of work to massage the code into just the right form.
This is actually the tip of the iceberg. There are tremendous potential
savings we can realize here by de-duplicating work between mem2reg and
SROA.

This patch provides basic support for powerpc64le as an LLVM target.
However, use of this target will not actually generate little-endian
code. Instead, use of the target will cause the correct little-endian
built-in defines to be generated, so that code that tests for
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__, for example, will be correctly parsed for
syntax-only testing. Code generation will otherwise be the same as
powerpc64 (big-endian), for now.
The patch leaves open the possibility of creating a little-endian
PowerPC64 back end, but there is no immediate intent to create such a
thing.
The LLVM portions of this patch simply add ppc64le coverage everywhere
that ppc64 coverage currently exists. There is nothing of any import
worth testing until such time as little-endian code generation is
implemented. In the corresponding Clang patch, there is a new test
case variant to ensure that correct built-in defines for little-endian
code are generated.

The language reference says that:
"If a symbol appears in the @llvm.used list, then the compiler,
assembler, and linker are required to treat the symbol as if there is
a reference to the symbol that it cannot see"
Since even the linker cannot see the reference, we must assume that
the reference can be using the symbol table. For example, a user can add
__attribute__((used)) to a debug helper function like dump and use it from
a debugger.

pending speculation for a phi node. The problem here is that we were
using growth of the specluation set as an indicator of whether
speculation would occur, and if the phi node is already in the set we
don't see it grow. This is a symptom of the fact that this signal is
a total hack.
Unfortunately, I couldn't really come up with a non-hacky way of
signaling that promotion remains valid *after* speculation occurs, such
that we only speculate when all else looks good for promotion. In the
end, I went with at least a much more explicit approach of doing the
work of queuing inside the phi and select processing and setting
a preposterously named flag to convey that we're in the special state of
requiring speculating before promotion.
Thanks to Richard Trieu and Nick Lewycky for the excellent work reducing
a testcase for this from a pretty giant, nasty assert in a big
application. =] The testcase was excellent.

that we can directly replace uses prior to any store with undef to

The hope is to refactor this so that we don't end up building the entire

class.

rather just an arbitrary slice of an alloca.

The crux of the issue is that now we track uses of a partition of the
alloca in two places: the iterators over the partitioning uses and the
previously collected split uses vector. We weren't accounting for the
fact that the split uses might invalidate integer widening in ways other
than due to their width (in this case due to being volatile).

For safety, the inliner cannot decrease the allignment on an alloca when
merging it with another.
I've included two variants of the test case for this: one with DataLayout

the allocas uses the default alignment (getAlignment() == 0), then they cannot
be safely merged.

This reverts the commit which introduced a new implementation of the
fancy SROA pass designed to reduce its overhead. I'll skip the huge

works and why it works that way.
llvm-svn: 186332
different core implementation strategy.
Previously, SROA would build a relatively elaborate partitioning of an
alloca, associate uses with each partition, and then rewrite the uses of
each partition in an attempt to break apart the alloca into chunks that
could be promoted. This was very wasteful in terms of memory and compile
time because regardless of how complex the alloca or how much we're able
to do in breaking it up, all of the datastructure work to analyze the
partitioning was done up front.
The new implementation attempts to form partitions of the alloca lazily
and on the fly, rewriting the uses that make up that partition as it
goes. This has a few significant effects:
1) Much simpler data structures are used throughout.
2) No more double walk of the recursive use graph of the alloca, only
walk it once.
3) No more complex algorithms for associating a particular use with
a particular partition.
4) PHI and Select speculation is simplified and happens lazily.
5) More precise information is available about a specific use of the
alloca, removing the need for some side datastructures.
Ultimately, I think this is a much better implementation. It removes
about 300 lines of code, but arguably removes more like 500 considering
that some code grew in the process of being factored apart and cleaned
up for this all to work.
I've re-used as much of the old implementation as possible, which
includes the lion's share of code in the form of the rewriting logic.
The interesting new logic centers around how the uses of a partition are
sorted, and split into actual partitions.
Each instruction using a pointer derived from the alloca gets
a 'Partition' entry. This name is totally wrong, but I'll do a rename in
a follow-up commit as there is already enough churn here. The entry
describes the offset range accessed and the nature of the access. Once
we have all of these entries we sort them in a very specific way:
increasing order of begin offset, followed by whether they are
splittable uses (memcpy, etc), followed by the end offset or whatever.
Sorting by splittability is important as it simplifies the collection of
uses into a partition.
Once we have these uses sorted, we walk from the beginning to the end
building up a range of uses that form a partition of the alloca.
Overlapping unsplittable uses are merged into a single partition while
splittable uses are broken apart and carried from one partition to the
next. A partition is also introduced to bridge splittable uses between
the unsplittable regions when necessary.
I've looked at the performance PRs fairly closely. PR15471 no longer
will even load (the module is invalid). Not sure what is up there.
PR15412 improves by between 5% and 10%, however it is nearly impossible
to know what is holding it up as SROA (the entire pass) takes less time
than reading the IR for that test case. The analysis takes the same time
as running mem2reg on the final allocas. I suspect (without much
evidence) that the new implementation will scale much better however,
and it is just the small nature of the test cases that makes the changes
small and noisy. Either way, it is still simpler and cleaner I think.

If an outside loop user of the reduction value uses the header phi node we
cannot just reduce the vectorized phi value in the vector code epilog because
we would loose VF-1 reductions.
lp:
p = phi (0, lv)
lv = lv + 1
...
brcond , lp, outside
outside:
usr = add 0, p
(Say the loop iterates two times, the value of p coming out of the loop is one).
We cannot just transform this to:
vlp:
p = phi (<0,0>, lv)
lv = lv + <1,1>
..
brcond , lp, outside
outside:
p_reduced = p[0] + [1];
usr = add 0, p_reduced
(Because the original loop iterated two times the vectorized loop would iterate
one time, but p_reduced ends up being zero instead of one).
We would have to execute VF-1 iterations in the scalar remainder loop in such
cases. For now, just disable vectorization.

Adds a special handling of the case where, during the loop exit
condition rewriting, the exit value is a constant of bitwidth lower
than the type of the induction variable: instead of introducing a
trunc operation in order to match correctly the operand types, it
allows to convert the constant value to an equivalent constant,
depending on the initial value of the induction variable and the trip
count, in order have an equivalent comparison between the induction
variable and the new constant.

We can vectorize them because in the case where we wrap in the address space the

Without the changes introduced into this patch, if TRE saw any allocas at all,
TRE would not perform TRE *or* mark callsites with the tail marker.
Because TRE runs after mem2reg, this inadequacy is not a death sentence. But
given a callsite A without escaping alloca argument, A may not be able to have
the tail marker placed on it due to a separate callsite B having a write-back
parameter passed in via an argument with the nocapture attribute.
Assume that B is the only other callsite besides A and B only has nocapture
escaping alloca arguments (*NOTE* B may have other arguments that are not passed
allocas). In this case not marking A with the tail marker is unnecessarily
conservative since:
1. By assumption A has no escaping alloca arguments itself so it can not
access the caller's stack via its arguments.
2. Since all of B's escaping alloca arguments are passed as parameters with
the nocapture attribute, we know that B does not stash said escaping
allocas in a manner that outlives B itself and thus could be accessed
indirectly by A.
With the changes introduced by this patch:
1. If we see any escaping allocas passed as a capturing argument, we do
nothing and bail early.
2. If we do not see any escaping allocas passed as captured arguments but we
do see escaping allocas passed as nocapture arguments:
i. We do not perform TRE to avoid PR962 since the code generator produces
significantly worse code for the dynamic allocas that would be created
by the TRE algorithm.
ii. If we do not return twice, mark call sites without escaping allocas
with the tail marker. *NOTE* This excludes functions with escaping
nocapture allocas.
3. If we do not see any escaping allocas at all (whether captured or not):
i. If we do not have usage of setjmp, mark all callsites with the tail
marker.
ii. If there are no dynamic/variable sized allocas in the function,
attempt to perform TRE on all callsites in the function.

A special case list can now specify categories for specific globals,
which can be used to instruct an instrumentation pass to treat certain
functions or global variables in a specific way, such as by omitting
certain aspects of instrumentation while keeping others, or informing
the instrumentation pass that a specific uninstrumentable function
has certain semantics, thus allowing the pass to instrument callers
according to those semantics.
For example, AddressSanitizer now uses the "init" category instead of
global-init prefixes for globals whose initializers should not be
instrumented, but which in all other respects should be instrumented.
The motivating use case is DataFlowSanitizer, which will have a
number of different categories for uninstrumentable functions, such
as "functional" which specifies that a function has pure functional
semantics, or "discard" which indicates that a function's return
value should not be labelled.

Back in r179493 we determined that two transforms collided with each

canonicalize one transform into the other, removing the collision and
allowing us to optimize IR given to us in that form.

This is a complete re-write if the bottom-up vectorization class.
Before this commit we scanned the instruction tree 3 times. First in search of merge points for the trees. Second, for estimating the cost. And finally for vectorization.
There was a lot of code duplication and adding the DCE exposed bugs. The new design is simpler and DCE was a part of the design.
In this implementation we build the tree once. After that we estimate the cost by scanning the different entries in the constructed tree (in any order). The vectorization phase also works on the built tree.
