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.

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.

This patch add support for eliminating MemoryDefs that do not have any
aliasing users, which indicates that there are no reads/writes to the
memory location until the end of the function.
To eliminate such defs, we have to ensure that the underlying object is
not visible in the caller and does not escape via returning. We need a
separate check for that, as InvisibleToCaller does not consider returns.

isOverwrite expects the later location as first argument and the earlier
result later. The adjusted call is intended to check whether CC
overwrites DefLoc.
This patch relaxes the post-dominance requirement for accesses to
objects visible after the function returns.
Instead of requiring the killing def to post-dominate the access to
eliminate, the set of 'killing blocks' (= blocks that completely
overwrite the original access) is collected.
If all paths from the access to eliminate and an exit block go through a
killing block, the access can be removed.
To check this property, we first get the common post-dominator block for
the killing blocks. If this block does not post-dominate the access
block, there may be a path from DomAccess to an exit block not involving
any killing block.
Otherwise we have to check if there is a path from the DomAccess to the
common post-dominator, that does not contain a killing block. If there
is no such path, we can remove DomAccess. For this check, we start at
the common post-dominator and then traverse the CFG backwards. Paths are
terminated when we hit a killing block or a block that is not executed
between DomAccess and a killing block according to the post-order
numbering (if the post order number of a block is greater than the one
of DomAccess, the block cannot be in in a path starting at DomAccess).

There might be potential to pre-compute some of the information of which
blocks are on the path to an exit for each block, but the overall
benefit might be comparatively small.
On the set of benchmarks, 15738 times out of 20322 we reach the
CFG check, the CFG check is successful. The total number of iterations
in the CFG check is 187810, so on average we need less than 10 steps in
the check loop. Bumping the threshold in the loop from 50 to 150 gives a
few small improvements, but I don't think they warrant such a big bump
at the moment. This is all pending further tuning in the future.

We can eliminate MemoryDefs of objects not accessible after the function
returns (e.g. alloca), if there are no reads between the MemoryDef and
any function exits. We can stop traversing paths that completely
overwrite the memory location of the MemoryDef.
