If we only have exact accesses we should never require the bit-pattern
to be uniform (in this case 0). Only a non-exact access should force us
to require only 0 values.
For the longest time we used `AAValueSimplify` and
`genericValueTraversal` to determine "potential values". This was
problematic for many reasons:
- We recomputed the result a lot as there was no caching for the 9
locations calling `genericValueTraversal`.
- We added the idea of "intra" vs. "inter" procedural simplification
only as an afterthought. `genericValueTraversal` did offer an option
but `AAValueSimplify` did not. Thus, we might end up with "too much"
simplification in certain situations and then gave up on it.
- Because `genericValueTraversal` was not a real `AA` we ended up with
problems like the infinite recursion bug (#54981) as well as code
duplication.
This patch introduces `AAPotentialValues` and replaces the
`AAValueSimplify` uses with it. `genericValueTraversal` is folded into
`AAPotentialValues` as are the instruction simplifications performed in
`AAValueSimplify` before. We further distinguish "intra" and "inter"
procedural simplification now.
`AAValueSimplify` was not deleted as we haven't ported the
re-materialization of instructions yet. There are other differences over
the former handling, e.g., we may not fold trivially foldable
instructions right now, e.g., `add i32 1, 1` is not folded to `i32 2`
but if an operand would be simplified to `i32 1` we would fold it still.
We are also even more aware of function/SCC boundaries in CGSCC passes,
which is good even if some tests look like they regress.

not regressions we should avoid.

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.

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.
Both `undef` and `nullptr` are maximally aligned. This is especially
important as we often see `undef` until a proper value has been
identified during simplification.
With D106397 we used CFG reasoning to filter out writes that will not
interfere with a given load instruction. With this patch we use the
same logic (modulo the reversal in reachability check order) for store
instructions. As an example, we can now proof stores to shared memory
are dead if all the loads of the shared memory are not reachable from
them.
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.

To make usage easier (compared to the many reachability related AAs),
this patch introduces a helper API, `AA::isPotentiallyReachable`, which
performs all the necessary steps. It also does the "backwards"
reachability (see D106720) as that simplifies the AA a lot (backwards
queries were somewhat different from the other query resolvers), and
ensures we use cached values in every stage.
To test inter-procedural reachability in a reasonable way this patch
includes an extension to `AAPointerInfo::forallInterferingWrites`.
Basically, we can exclude writes if they cannot reach a load "during the
lifetime" of the allocation. That is, we need to go up the call graph to
determine reachability until we can determine the allocation would be
dead in the caller. This leads to new constant propagations (through
memory) in `value-simplify-pointer-info-gpu.ll`.
Note: The new code contains plenty debug output to determine how
reachability queries are resolved.

D106720 introduced features that did not work properly as we could add
new queries after a fixpoint was reached and which could not be answered
by the information gathered up to the fixpoint alone.
As an alternative to D110078, which forced eager computation where we
want to continue to be lazy, this patch fixes the problem.
QueryAAs are AAs that allow lazy queries during their lifetime. They are
never fixed if they have no outstanding dependences and always run as
part of the updates in an iteration. To determine if we are done, all
query AAs are asked if they received new queries, if not, we only need
to consider updated AAs, as before. If new queries are present we go for
another iteration.

This test shows how we can use alloca position and kernel+AS information
to improve reachability queries and consequently store-load forwarding.
The thirst argument passed to the @use function can be determined
statically (a constant). The others cannot and are there for
verification.
