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.
AliasAnalysis/MemoryLocation does not account for loops. Two
MemoryLocation can be must-overwrite, even if the first one writes
multiple locations in a loop.
This patch prevents removing such stores, by only considering candidates
that are known to be loop invariant, or executed in the same BB.
Currently the invariant check is quite conservative and only considers
Alloca and Alloca-like instructions and arguments as invariant base pointers.
It also considers GEPs with all constant indices and invariant bases as
invariant.
This can be improved in the future, but the current implementation has
only minor impact on the total number of stores eliminated (25903 vs
26047 for the baseline). There are some 2-10% swings for some individual
benchmarks. In roughly half of the cases, the number of stores removed
increases actually, because we skip candidates that are unlikely to be
valid candidates early.
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.

For MemoryPhis, we have to avoid that the MemoryPhi may be executed
before before the access we are currently looking at.
To do this we do a post-order numbering of the basic blocks in the
function and bail out once we reach a MemoryPhi with a larger (or equal)
post-order block number than the current MemoryAccess.
This changes the order in which we visit stores for elimination.
This patch also adds support for exploring multiple paths. We keep a worklist (ToCheck) of memory accesses that might be eliminated by our starting MemoryDef or MemoryPhis for further exploration. For MemoryPhis, we add the incoming values to the worklist, for MemoryDefs we add the defining access.

Add a map from BasicBlocks to overlap intervals. For partial writes, we
can keep track of those in IOLs. We only add candidates that are valid
for eliminations.

This reverts commit 74f03e4ff0.
This patch adds a first version of a MemorySSA based DSE. It is missing
a lot of features, which will get added as follow-ups, to help to keep
the review manageable.
The patch uses the following general approach: given a MemoryDef, walk
upwards to find clobbering MemoryDefs that may be killed by the
starting def. Then check that there are no uses that may read the
location of the original MemoryDef in between both MemoryDefs. A bit
more concretely:
For all MemoryDefs StartDef:
1. Get the next dominating clobbering MemoryDef (DomAccess) by walking upwards.
2. Check that there no reads between DomAccess and the StartDef by checking
all uses starting at DomAccess and walking until we see StartDef.
3. For each found DomDef, check that:
1. There are no barrier instructions between DomDef and StartDef (like
throws or stores with ordering constraints).
2. StartDef is executed whenever DomDef is executed.
3. StartDef completely overwrites DomDef.
4. Erase DomDef from the function and MemorySSA.
The patch uses a very simple approach to guarantee that no throwing
instructions are between 2 stores: We only allow accesses to stack
objects, access that are in the same basic block if the block does not
contain any throwing instructions or accesses in functions that do
not contain any throwing instructions. This will get lifted later.
Besides adding support for the missing cases, there is plenty of additional
potential for improvements as follow-up work, e.g. the way we visit stores
(could be just a traversal of the MemorySSA, rather than collecting them
up-front), using the alias information discovered during walking to optimize
the MemorySSA.
This is loosely based on D40480 by Dave Green.
