The GEP aliasing code currently checks for the GEP decomposition
limit being reached (i.e., we did not reach the "final" underlying
object). As far as I can see, these checks are not necessary. It is
perfectly fine to work with a GEP whose base can still be further
decomposed.
Looking back through the commit history, these checks were originally
introduced in 1a444489e9d90915cfdda0720489893896ef1503. However, I
believe that the problem this was intended to address was later
properly fixed with 1726fc698ccb85fe4bb23c200a50f28b57fc53cb, and
the checks are no longer necessary since then (and were not the
right fix in the first place).

The distinction between StructOffset and OtherOffset has been
originally introduced by 82069c44ca39df9d506e16bfb0ca2481866dd0bb,
which applied different reasoning to both offset kinds. However,
this distinction was not actually correct, and has been fixed by
c84e77aeaefccb8d0c4c508b8017dcad80607f53. Since then, we only ever
consider the sum StructOffset + OtherOffset, so we may as well
store it in that form directly.
Instead of performing the multiplication in double the bit width
and using active bits to determine overflow, use the existing
smul_ov() APInt method to detect overflow.
The smul_ov() implementation is not particularly efficient, but
it's still better than doing this a wide, usually 128-bit, type.
Rather than performing the cache lookup with both possible orders
for the locations, use the same canonicalization as the other
AliasCache lookups in BasicAA.
Any time we insert a block into VisitedPhiBBs, previously cached
values may no longer be valid for the recursive alias queries. As
such, perform them using an empty AAQueryInfo.
Note that if we recurse to the same phi, the block will already
be inserted, so we reuse the old AAQueryInfo, and thus still
protect against infinite recursion.
This problem can appear with with an without BatchAA, but is more
likely to occur with BatchAA, as more values are cached.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D90066
Visited phi blocks only need to be added for the duration of the
recursive alias queries, they should not leak into following code.
Once again, while this also improves analysis precision, this is
mainly intended to clarify the applicability scope of VisitedPhiBBs.
We only need the VisitedPhiBBs to disambiguate comparisons of
values from two different loop iterations. If we're comparing
two phis from the same basic block in lock-step, the compared
values will always be on the same iteration.
While this also increases precision, this is mainly intended
to clarify the scope of VisitedPhiBBs.
This pattern was repeated a few times, and for some reason always
using insert or try_emplace, even though we know in advance that
we're looking for an existing entry and not trying to create a
new one.
Function isNonEscapingLocalObject is a static one within BasicAliasAnalysis.cpp.
It wraps around PointerMayBeCaptured of CaptureTracking, checking whether a pointer
is to a function-local object, which never escapes from the function.
Although at the moment, isNonEscapingLocalObject is used only by BasicAliasAnalysis,
its functionality can be used by other pass(es), one of which I will put up for review
very soon. Instead of copying the contents of this static function, I move it to llvm
scope, and place it amongst other functions with similar functionality in CaptureTracking.
The rationale for the location are:
- Pointer escape and pointer being captured are actually two sides of the same coin
- isNonEscapingLocalObject is wrapping around another function in CaptureTracking

As shown in D82998, the basic-aa-recphi option can cause miscompiles for
gep's with negative constants. The option checks for recursive phi, that
recurse through a contant gep. If it finds one, it performs aliasing
calculations using the other phi operands with an unknown size, to
specify that an unknown number of elements after the initial value are
potentially accessed. This works fine expect where the constant is
negative, as the size is still considered to be positive. So this patch
expands the check to make sure that the constant is also positive.

GetUnderlyingObject() (and by required symmetry
DecomposeGEPExpression()) will call SimplifyInstruction() on the
passed value if other checks fail. This simplification is very
expensive, but has little effect in practice. This patch removes
the SimplifyInstruction call(), and replaces it with a check for
single-argument phis (which can occur in canonical IR in LCSSA
form), which is the only useful simplification case I was able to
identify.
At O3 the geomean CTMark improvement is -1.7%. The largest
improvement is SPASS with ThinLTO at -6%.
In test-suite, I see only two tests with a hash difference and
no code size difference (PAQ8p, Ptrdist), which indicates that
the simplification only ends up being useful very rarely. (I would
have liked to figure out which simplification is responsible here,
but wasn't able to spot it looking at transformation logs.)
The AMDGPU test case that is update was using two selects with
undef condition, in which case GetUnderlyingObject will return
the first select operand as the underlying object. This will of
course not happen with non-undef conditions, so this was not
testing anything realistic. Additionally this illustrates potential
unsoundness: While GetUnderlyingObject will pick the first operand,
the select might be later replaced by the second operand, resulting
in inconsistent assumptions about the undef value.

This potentially related to https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46335
and causes a slight compile-time regression. Revert while investigating.
This reverts commit d99a1848c4f8ca164c0c0768e10eafc850b2a68a.
Currently, BasicAA does not exploit information about value ranges of
indexes. For example, consider the 2 pointers %a = %base and
%b = %base + %stride below, assuming they are used to access 4 elements.
If we know that %stride >= 4, we know the accesses do not alias. If
%stride is a constant, BasicAA currently gets that. But if the >= 4
constraint is encoded using an assume, it misses the NoAlias.
This patch extends DecomposedGEP to include an additional MinOtherOffset
field, which tracks the constant offset similar to the existing
OtherOffset, which the difference that it also includes non-negative
lower bounds on the range of the index value. When checking if the
distance between 2 accesses exceeds the access size, we can use this
improved bound.
For now this is limited to using non-negative lower bounds for indices,
as this conveniently skips cases where we do not have a useful lower
bound (because it is not constrained). We potential miss out in cases
where the lower bound is constrained but negative, but that can be
exploited in the future.

Now that we have scalable vectors, there's a distinction that isn't
getting captured in the original SequentialType: some vectors don't have
a known element count, so counting the number of elements doesn't make
sense.
In some cases, there's a better way to express the commonality using
other methods. If we're dealing with GEPs, there's GEP methods; if we're
dealing with a ConstantDataSequential, we can query its element type
directly.
In the relatively few remaining cases, I just decided to write out
the type checks. We're talking about relatively few places, and I think
the abstraction doesn't really carry its weight. (See thread "[RFC]

This is the first change to enable the TLI to be built per-function so
that -fno-builtin* handling can be migrated to use function attributes.
See discussion on D61634 for background. This is an enabler for fixing
handling of these options for LTO, for example.
This change should not affect behavior, as the provided function is not
yet used to build a specifically per-function TLI, but rather enables
that migration.
Most of the changes were very mechanical, e.g. passing a Function to the
legacy analysis pass's getTLI interface, or in Module level cases,
adding a callback. This is similar to the way the per-function TTI
analysis works.
There was one place where we were looking for builtins but not in the
context of a specific function. See FindCXAAtExit in
lib/Transforms/IPO/GlobalOpt.cpp. I'm somewhat concerned my workaround
could provide the wrong behavior in some corner cases. Suggestions
welcome.

Summary:
Adding contained caching to AliasAnalysis. BasicAA is currently the only one using it.
AA changes:
- This patch is pulling the caches from BasicAAResults to AAResults, meaning the getModRefInfo call benefits from the IsCapturedCache as well when in "batch mode".
- All AAResultBase implementations add the QueryInfo member to all APIs. AAResults APIs maintain wrapper APIs such that all alias()/getModRefInfo call sites are unchanged.
- AA now provides a BatchAAResults type as a wrapper to AAResults. It keeps the AAResults instance and a QueryInfo instantiated to batch mode. It delegates all work to the AAResults instance with the batched QueryInfo. More API wrappers may be needed in BatchAAResults; only the minimum needed is currently added.
MemorySSA changes:
- All walkers are now templated on the AA used (AliasAnalysis=AAResults or BatchAAResults).
- At build time, we optimize uses; now we create a local walker (lives only as long as OptimizeUses does) using BatchAAResults.
- All Walkers have an internal AA and only use that now, never the AA in MemorySSA. The Walkers receive the AA they will use when built.
- The walker we use for queries after the build is instantiated on AliasAnalysis and is built after building MemorySSA and setting AA.
- All static methods doing walking are now templated on AliasAnalysisType if they are used both during build and after. If used only during build, the method now only takes a BatchAAResults. If used only after build, the method now takes an AliasAnalysis.

Since the calls to PointerMayBeCaptured are fairly expensive, this saves

This uses the same approach as the AliasCache, i.e. the cache is reset
after each alias() call. The cache is not used or updated by modRefInfo
calls since it's harder to know when to reset the cache.
Testcases that show improvements with this patch are too large to
include. Example compile time improvement: 7s to 6s.

minted `CallBase` class instead of the `CallSite` wrapper.
This moves the largest interwoven collection of APIs that traffic in
`CallSite`s. While a handful of these could have been migrated with
a minorly more shallow migration by converting from a `CallSite` to
a `CallBase`, it hardly seemed worth it. Most of the APIs needed to
migrate together because of the complex interplay of AA APIs and the
fact that converting from a `CallBase` to a `CallSite` isn't free in its
current implementation.
Out of tree users of these APIs can fairly reliably migrate with some
combination of `.getInstruction()` on the `CallSite` instance and
casting the resulting pointer. The most generic form will look like `CS`
-> `cast_or_null<CallBase>(CS.getInstruction())` but in most cases there
is a more elegant migration. Hopefully, this migrates enough APIs for
users to fully move from `CallSite` to the base class. All of the
in-tree users were easily migrated in that fashion.

Motivated by the discussion in D38499, this patch updates BasicAA to support
arbitrary pointer sizes by switching most remaining non-APInt calculations to
use APInt. The size of these APInts is set to the maximum pointer size (maximum
over all address spaces described by the data layout string).
Most of this translation is straightforward, but this patch contains a fix for
a bug that revealed itself during this translation process. In order for
test/Analysis/BasicAA/gep-and-alias.ll to pass, which is run with 32-bit
pointers, the intermediate calculations must be performed using 64-bit
integers. This is because, as noted in the patch, when GetLinearExpression
decomposes an expression into C1*V+C2, and we then multiply this by Scale, and
distribute, to get (C1*Scale)*V + C2*Scale, it can be the case that, even
through C1*V+C2 does not overflow for relevant values of V, (C2*Scale) can
overflow. If this happens, later logic will draw invalid conclusions from the
(base) offset value. Thus, when initially applying the APInt conversion,
because the maximum pointer size in this test is 32 bits, it started failing.
Suspicious, I created a 64-bit version of this test (included here), and that
failed (miscompiled) on trunk for a similar reason (the multiplication can
overflow).
After fixing this overflow bug, the first test case (at least) in
Analysis/BasicAA/q.bad.ll started failing. This is also a 32-bit test, and was
relying on having 64-bit intermediate values to have BasicAA return an accurate
result. In order to fix this problem, and because I believe that it is not
uncommon to use i64 indexing expressions in 32-bit code (especially portable
code using int64_t), it seems reasonable to always use at least 64-bit
integers. In this way, we won't regress our analysis capabilities (and there's
a command-line option added, so experimenting with this should be easy).
As pointed out by Eli during the review, there are other potential overflow
conditions that this patch does not address. Fixing those is left to follow-up
work.
