This switches everything to use the memory attribute proposed in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-unify-memory-effect-attributes/65579.
The old argmemonly, inaccessiblememonly and inaccessiblemem_or_argmemonly
attributes are dropped. The readnone, readonly and writeonly attributes
are restricted to parameters only.
The old attributes are auto-upgraded both in bitcode and IR.
The bitcode upgrade is a policy requirement that has to be retained
indefinitely. The IR upgrade is mainly there so it's not necessary
to update all tests using memory attributes in this patch, which
is already large enough. We could drop that part after migrating
tests, or retain it longer term, to make it easier to import IR
from older LLVM versions.
High-level Function/CallBase APIs like doesNotAccessMemory() or
setDoesNotAccessMemory() are mapped transparently to the memory
attribute. Code that directly manipulates attributes (e.g. via
AttributeList) on the other hand needs to switch to working with
the memory attribute instead.

Now that the legacy PM is no longer tested, the huge matrix of
test prefixes used by attributor tests is no longer needed and very
confusing for the casual reader. Reduce the prefixes down to just
CHECK, TUNIT and CGSCC.
This is the first patch in a series intended for removing flag
-enable-new-pm=0 from lit tests. This is part of a bigger
effort of completely removing legacy code related to legacy
pass manager in favor of currently default new pass manager.
In this patch flag has been removed only from tests where no significant
change has been required because checks has been duplicated for
both PMs.

When we run the CGSCC pass we should only invest time on the SCC. We can
initialize AAs with information from the module slice but we should not
update those AAs. We make an exception for are call site of the SCC as
they are helpful providing information for the SCC.
Minor modifications to pointer privatization allow us to perform it even
in the CGSCC pass, similar to ArgumentPromotion.
When we run the CGSCC pass we should only invest time on the SCC. We can

update those AAs.
There was some ad-hoc handling of liveness and manifest to avoid
breaking CGSCC guarantees. Things always slipped through though.
This cleanup will:
1) Prevent us from manifesting any "information" outside the CGSCC.
This might be too conservative but we need to opt-in to annotation
not try to avoid some problematic ones.
2) Avoid running any liveness analysis outside the CGSCC. We did have
some AAIsDeadFunction handling to this end but we need this for all
AAIsDead classes. The reason is that AAIsDead information is only
correct if we actually manifest it, since we don't (see point 1) we
cannot actually derive/use it at all. We are currently trying to
avoid running any AA updates outside the CGSCC but that seems to
impact things quite a bit.
3) Assert, don't check, that our modifications (during cleanup) modifies
only CGSCC functions.
We already look through memory to determine where a value that is stored
might pop up again (potential copies). This patch introduces the other
direction with similar logic. If a value is loaded, we can follow all
the accesses to the pointer (or better object) and try to determine what
value might have been stored.
The oversight caused us to ignore call sites that are effectively dead
when we computed reachability (or more precise the call edges of a
function). The problem is that loads in the readonly callee might depend
on stores prior to the callee. If we do not track the call edge we
mistakenly assumed the store before the call cannot reach the load.
The problem is nicely visible in:
`llvm/test/Transforms/Attributor/ArgumentPromotion/basictest.ll`
Caused by D118673.
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53726
We missed out on AANoRecurse in the module pass because we had no call
graph. With AAFunctionReachability we can simply ask if the function may
reach itself.

genericValueTraversal can look through arguments and allow value
simplification across function boundaries. In fact, the latter already
happened unchecked. With this change we allow the user of
genericValueTraversal to opt-out of interprocedural traversal if
required. We explicitly look through arguments now which helps to do
various things, incl. the propagation of constants into OpenMP parallel
regions (on the host).
This fixes a conceptual problem with our AAIsDead usage which conflated
call site liveness with call site return value liveness. Without the
fix tests would obviously miscompile as we make genericValueTraversal
more powerful (in a follow up). The effects on the tests are mixed but
mostly marginal. The most prominent one is the lack of `noreturn` for
functions. The reason is that we make entire blocks live at the same
time (for time reasons). Now that we actually look at the block
liveness, which we need to do, the return instructions are live and
will survive. As an example, `noreturn_async.ll` has been modified
to retain the `noreturn` even with block granularity. We could address
this easily but there is little need in practice.
We have two attributes that can answer readnone queries. While there is
a dependence between them, it seems best to not force the users to know
what AA to ask. The helpers also allow to check for readonly nicely.
Test changes show where we now deduce readnone but haven't before,
mostly because we only asked AAMemoryBehavior and not AAMemoryLocation.
AANoAlias has not been ported to the new API yet.
D106185 allows us to determine if a store is needed easily. Using that
knowledge we can start to delete dead stores.
In AAIsDead we now track more state as an instruction can be dead (= the
old optimisitc state) or just "removable". A store instruction can be
removable while being very much alive, e.g., if it stores a constant
into an alloca or internal global. If we would pretend it was dead
instead of only removablewe we would ignore it when we determine what
values a load can see, so that is not what we want.

This patch introduces `getPotentialCopiesOfStoredValue` which uses
AAPointerInfo to determine all "aliases" or "potential copies" of a
value that is stored into memory. This operation can fail but if it
succeeds it means we can visit all "uses" of a value even if it is
temporarily stored in memory.
There are two users for the function:
1) `Attributor::checkForAllUses` which will now ignore the value use
in a store if all "potential copies" can be identified and instead
be visited. This allows various AAs, including AAPointerInfo
itself, to look through memory.
2) `AANoCapture` which uses a custom use tracking through the
CaptureTracker interface and therefore needs to be thought
explicitly.

This patch introduces AAPointerInfo which tracks the uses of a pointer
and places them in "bins" based on their offset from the base and access
size.
As with other AAs, any pointer can be tracked but it is up to the user
to make sense of the results. The user in this patch is AAValueSimplify
and AAPotentialValues which both utilize AAPointerInfo to determine the
value of a load. For now, this is restricted to loads of allocas and
internal globals. Through the use of AAPointerInfo and the "bins" we can
track struct members separately. The users also know that storing only
zeros (at unknown indices) will result in loading only 0 (from unknown
indices). Other than that, the users are flow and context insensitive
(for now).
To deal with the "bins" more easily, AAPointerInfo provides a
forallInterfearingAccesses that applies a callback on all accesses
that might interfere with a given load or store.

Not all attributes are able to handle the interprocedural step and
follow the uses into a call site. Let them be able to combine call site
uses instead. This might result in some unused values/arguments being
leftover but it removes problems where we misused "is dead" even though
it was actually "is simplified/replaced".
We explicitly check for dead values due to constant propagation in
`AAIsDeadValueImpl::areAllUsesAssumedDead` instead.

We have seen various problems when the call graph was not updated or
the updated did not succeed because it involved functions outside the
SCC. This patch adds assertions and checks to avoid accidentally
changing something outside the SCC that would impact the call graph.
It also prevents us from reanalyzing functions outside the current
SCC which could cause problems on its own. Note that the transformations
we do might cause the CG to be "more precise" but the original one would
always be a super set of the most precise one. Since the call graph is
by nature an approximation, it is good enough to have a super set of all
call edges.
The constant value lattice looks like this
```
<None>
|
<undef>
/ | \
... <0> ...
\ | /
<unknown>
```
We did not account for the undef and assumed a value meant we could not
change anymore. Now we actually check if we have the same value as
before, which will signal CHANGED to the users when we go from undef to
a specific constant.
This fixes, among other things, the bug exposed by @ipccp4 in
`value-simplify.ll`.
The update_test_checks script can now check for global symbols and is able
to handle them properly when they differ across prefixes, e.g.,
attribute #0 might be different in different runs.
This patch simply updates all the Attributor tests with the new script.
