After investigation by @asbirlea, the issue that caused the
revert appears to be an issue in the original source, rather
than a problem with the compiler.
This patch enables MemorySSA DSE again.
This reverts commit 915310bf14.
There appears to be a mis-compile with MemorySSA-backed DSE in
combination with llvm.lifetime.end. It currently appears like
DSE is doing the right thing and the llvm.lifetime.end markers
are incorrect. The reverted patch uncovers the mis-compile.
This patch temporarily switches back to the legacy DSE
implementation, while we investigate.
This reverts commit 9d172c8e9c.
This switches to using DSE + MemorySSA by default again, after
fixing the issues reported after the first commit.
Notable fixes fc82006331, a0017c2bc2.
This reverts commit 3a59628f3c.
The tests have been updated and I plan to move them from the MSSA
directory up.
Some end-to-end tests needed small adjustments. One difference to the
legacy DSE is that legacy DSE also deletes trivially dead instructions
that are unrelated to memory operations. Because MemorySSA-backed DSE
just walks the MemorySSA, we only visit/check memory instructions. But
removing unrelated dead instructions is not really DSE's job and other
passes will clean up.
One noteworthy change is in llvm/test/Transforms/Coroutines/ArgAddr.ll,
but I think this comes down to legacy DSE not handling instructions that
may throw correctly in that case. To cover this with MemorySSA-backed
DSE, we need an update to llvm.coro.begin to treat it's return value to
belong to the same underlying object as the passed pointer.
There are some minor cases MemorySSA-backed DSE currently misses, e.g. related
to atomic operations, but I think those can be implemented after the switch.
This has been discussed on llvm-dev:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-August/144417.html
For the MultiSource/SPEC2000/SPEC2006 the number of eliminated stores
goes from ~17500 (legayc DSE) to ~26300 (MemorySSA-backed). More numbers
and details in the thread on llvm-dev.

This changes getDomMemoryDef to check if a Current is a valid
candidate for elimination before checking for reads. Before the change,
we were spending a lot of compile-time in checking for read accesses for
Current that might not even be removable.
This patch flips the logic, so we skip Current if they cannot be
removed before checking all their uses. This is much more efficient in
practice.
It also adds a more aggressive limit for checking partially overlapping
stores. The main problem with overlapping stores is that we do not know
if they will lead to elimination until seeing all of them. This patch
limits adds a new limit for overlapping store candidates, which keeps
the number of modified overlapping stores roughly the same.
This is another substantial compile-time improvement (while also
increasing the number of stores eliminated). Geomean -O3 -0.67%,
ReleaseThinLTO -0.97%.

For DSE with MemorySSA it is beneficial to manually traverse the
defining access, instead of using a MemorySSA walker, so we can
better control the number of steps together with other limits and
also weed out invalid/unprofitable paths early on.
This patch requires a follow-up patch to be most effective, which I will
share soon after putting this patch up.
This temporarily XFAIL's the limit tests, because we now explore more
MemoryDefs that may not alias/clobber the killing def. This will be
improved/fixed by the follow-up patch.
This patch also renames some `Dom*` variables to `Earlier*`, because the
dominance relation is not really used/important here and potentially
confusing.
This patch allows us to aggressively cut down compile time, geomean
-O3 -0.64%, ReleaseThinLTO -1.65%, at the expense of fewer stores
removed. Subsequent patches will increase the number of removed stores
again, while keeping compile-time in check.
