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.

Per LangRef, volatile operations are allowed to access the location
of their pointer argument, plus inaccessible memory:
> Any volatile operation can have side effects, and any volatile
> operation can read and/or modify state which is not accessible
> via a regular load or store in this module.
> [...]
> The allowed side-effects for volatile accesses are limited. If
> a non-volatile store to a given address would be legal, a volatile
> operation may modify the memory at that address. A volatile
> operation may not modify any other memory accessible by the
> module being compiled. A volatile operation may not call any
> code in the current module.
FunctionAttrs currently does not model this and ends up marking
functions with volatile accesses on arguments as argmemonly,
even though they should be inaccessiblemem_or_argmemonly.

MemoryLocation::getOrNone() already has the necessary logic to
handle different instruction types. Use it, rather than repeating
a subset of the logic. This adds support for previously unhandled
instructions like atomicrmw.
This patch adds initial argmemonly inference, by checking the underlying
objects of locations returned by MemoryLocation.
I think this should cover most cases, except function calls to other
argmemonly functions.
I'm not sure if there's a reason why we don't infer those yet.
Additional argmemonly can improve codegen in some cases. It also makes
it easier to come up with a C reproducer for 7662d1687b09 (already fixed,
but I'm trying to see if C/C++ fuzzing could help to uncover similar
issues.)

We have the `clang -cc1` command-line option `-funwind-tables=1|2` and
the codegen option `VALUE_CODEGENOPT(UnwindTables, 2, 0) ///< Unwind
tables (1) or asynchronous unwind tables (2)`. However, this is
encoded in LLVM IR by the presence or the absence of the `uwtable`
attribute, i.e. we lose the information whether to generate want just
some unwind tables or asynchronous unwind tables.
Asynchronous unwind tables take more space in the runtime image, I'd
estimate something like 80-90% more, as the difference is adding
roughly the same number of CFI directives as for prologues, only a bit
simpler (e.g. `.cfi_offset reg, off` vs. `.cfi_restore reg`). Or even
more, if you consider tail duplication of epilogue blocks.
Asynchronous unwind tables could also restrict code generation to
having only a finite number of frame pointer adjustments (an example
of *not* having a finite number of `SP` adjustments is on AArch64 when
untagging the stack (MTE) in some cases the compiler can modify `SP`
in a loop).
Having the CFI precise up to an instruction generally also means one
cannot bundle together CFI instructions once the prologue is done,
they need to be interspersed with ordinary instructions, which means
extra `DW_CFA_advance_loc` commands, further increasing the unwind
tables size.
That is to say, async unwind tables impose a non-negligible overhead,
yet for the most common use cases (like C++ exceptions), they are not
even needed.
This patch extends the `uwtable` attribute with an optional
value:
- `uwtable` (default to `async`)
- `uwtable(sync)`, synchronous unwind tables
- `uwtable(async)`, asynchronous (instruction precise) unwind tables

Proposed alternative to D105338.
This is ugly, but short-term I think it's the best way forward: first,
let's formalize the hacks into a coherent model. Then we can consider

Reapply with fixes for clang tests.
-----
This is a simple enum attribute. Test changes are because enum
attributes are sorted before type attributes, so mustprogress is
now in a different position.
This reverts commit 84ed3a794b4ffe7bd673f1e5a17d507aa3113d12.
A number of clang tests are also affected by this change. Revert
until I can update them.
Have funcattrs expand all implied attributes into the IR. This expands the infrastructure from D100400, but for definitions not declarations this time.
Somewhat subtly, this mostly isn't semantic. Because the accessors did the inference, any client which used the accessor was already getting the stronger result. Clients that directly checked presence of attributes (there are some), will see a stronger result now.
The old behavior can end up quite confusing for two reasons:
* Without this change, we have situations where function-attrs appears to fail when inferring an attribute (as seen by a human reading IR), but that consuming code will see that it should have been implied. As a human trying to sanity check test results and study IR for optimization possibilities, this is exceeding error prone and confusing. (I'll note that I wasted several hours recently because of this.)
* We can have transforms which trigger without the IR appearing (on inspection) to meet the preconditions. This change doesn't prevent this from happening (as the accessors still involve multiple checks), but it should make it less frequent.
I'd argue in favor of deleting the extra checks out of the accessors after this lands, but I want that in it's own review as a) it's purely stylistic, and b) I already know there's some disagreement.
Once this lands, I'm also going to do a cleanup change which will delete some now redundant duplicate predicates in the inference code, but again, that deserves to be a change of it's own.

Pretty straightforward use of existing infrastructure and port of the attributor inference rules for nosync.
A couple points of interest:
* I deliberately switched from "monotonic or better" to "unordered or better". This is simply me being conservative and is better in line with the rest of the optimizer. We treat monotonic conservatively pretty much everywhere.
* The operand bundle test change is suspicious. It looks like we might have missed something here, but if so, it's an issue with the existing nofree inference as well. I'm going to take a closer look at that separately.
* I needed to keep the previous inference from readnone. This surprised me, but made sense once I realized readonly inference goes to lengths to reason about local vs non-local memory and that writes to local memory are okay. This is fine for the purpose of nosync, but would e.g. prevent us from inferring nofree from readnone - which is slightly surprising.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D99769
This implements the most basic possible nosync inference. The choice of inference rule is taken from the comments in attributor and the discussion on the review of the change which introduced the nosync attribute (0626367202c).
This is deliberately minimal. As noted in code comments, I do plan to add a more robust inference which actually scans the function IR directly, but a) I need to do some refactoring of the attributor code to use common interfaces, and b) I wanted to get something in. I also wanted to minimize the "interesting" analysis discussion since that's time intensive.
Context: This combines with existing nofree attribute inference to help prove dereferenceability in the ongoing deref-at-point semantics work.

Summary:
This patch moves the test cases related to Attributor to `Transforms/Attributor` folder.
We have used `Transforms/FunctionAttrs` as the primary folder for Attributor test but we need to change testing way now.
For the test cases which I think functionattrs doesn't infer anything something like (willreturn, nosync, value-simplify, h2s ..etc), I moved them with the command `git mv`.
For the test cases in which functoinattrs and attributor are tested, I copied the test to the folder and remove the check only used by functoinattrs.

Trying to deduce information for declarations and calls sites of
declarations is not useful in practice but only for testing. Add a flag
that disables this by default but also enable it in the tests.
The misc.ll test will verify the flag "works" as expected.
Before we did not follow casts and geps when we looked at the users of a
pointer in the pointers must-be-executed-context. This caused us to fail
to determine if it was accessed for sure. With this change we follow
such users now.
The above extension exposed problems in getKnownNonNullAndDerefBytesForUse
which did not always check what the base pointer was. We also did not
handle negative offsets as conservative as we have to without explicit
loop handling. Finally, we should not derive a huge number if we access
a pointer that was traversed backwards first.
The problems exposed by this functional change are already tested in the
existing test cases as is the functional change.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D69647
Summary:
In D65186 and related patches, MustBeExecutedContextExplorer is introduced. This enables us to traverse instructions guaranteed to execute from function entry. If we can know the argument is used as `dereferenceable` or `nonnull` in these instructions, we can mark `dereferenceable` or `nonnull` in the argument definition:
1. Memory instruction (similar to D64258)
Trace memory instruction pointer operand. Currently, only inbounds GEPs are traced.
```
define i64* @f(i64* %a) {
entry:
%add.ptr = getelementptr inbounds i64, i64* %a, i64 1
; (because of inbounds GEP we can know that %a is at least dereferenceable(16))
store i64 1, i64* %add.ptr, align 8
ret i64* %add.ptr ; dereferenceable 8 (because above instruction stores into it)
}
```
2. Propagation from callsite (similar to D27855)
If `deref` or `nonnull` are known in call site parameter attributes we can also say that argument also that attribute.
```
declare void @use3(i8* %x, i8* %y, i8* %z);
declare void @use3nonnull(i8* nonnull %x, i8* nonnull %y, i8* nonnull %z);
define void @parent1(i8* %a, i8* %b, i8* %c) {
call void @use3nonnull(i8* %b, i8* %c, i8* %a)
; Above instruction is always executed so we can say that@parent1(i8* nonnnull %a, i8* nonnull %b, i8* nonnull %c)
call void @use3(i8* %c, i8* %a, i8* %b)
ret void
}

Before, we create the set of abstract attributes initially and then
dealt with the fact hat a lookup could fail, e.g., return a nullptr.
This patch will ensure we always return a valid object from a lookup,
allowing us not only to remove the nullptr checks but also to grow the
set of abstract attributes "in-flight" on-demand.
One can now start from those that have the best chance of improving
performance without the need to specify all they might depend on.
While this introduces some boilerplate, the usage of attributes is much
easier and cleaner now.
