The global ctor evaluator tries to evalute function calls where the call
function type and function type do not match, by performing bitcasts.
This currently causes a crash when calling a void function with non-void
return type.
I've opted to remove this functionality entirely rather than fixing this
specific case. With opaque pointers, there shouldn't be a legitimate use
case for this anymore, as we don't need to look through pointer type
casts. Doing other bitcasts is very iffy because it ignores ABI
considerations. We should at least leave adjusting the signatures to
make them line up to InstCombine (which also does some iffy things, but
is at least somewhat more constrained).
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/118725.
If the memset is large, checking every single byte of the global
may be very slow. Add an upper bound on the size of memset we
handle.
For the common special case of memset zeroinitializer to zero,
add a fastpath that checks just that and is not length limited.

For instructions that don't need any special handling, use
ConstantFoldInstOperands(), rather than re-implementing individual
cases.
This is probably not NFC because it can handle cases the previous
code missed (e.g. vector operations).
This removes the extractvalue constant expression, as part of
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-remove-most-constant-expressions/63179.
extractvalue is already not supported in bitcode, so we do not need
to worry about bitcode auto-upgrade.
Uses of ConstantExpr::getExtractValue() should be replaced with
IRBuilder::CreateExtractValue() (if the fact that the result is
constant is not important) or ConstantFoldExtractValueInstruction()
(if it is). Though for this particular case, it is also possible
and usually preferable to use getAggregateElement() instead.
The C API function LLVMConstExtractValue() is removed, as the
underlying constant expression no longer exists. Instead,
LLVMBuildExtractValue() should be used (which will constant fold
or create an instruction). Depending on the use-case,
LLVMGetAggregateElement() may also be used instead.

The global ctor evaluator currently handles by checking whether the
memset memory is already zero, and skips it in that case. However,
it only actually checks the first byte of the memory being set.
This patch extends the code to check all bytes being set. This is
done byte-by-byte to avoid converting undef values to zeros in
larger reads. However, the handling is still not completely correct,
because there might still be padding bytes (though probably this
doesn't matter much in practice, as I'd expect global variable
padding to be zero-initialized in practice).
Mostly fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/55859.

Global ctor evaluation currently models memory as a map from Constant*
to Constant*. For this to be correct, it is required that there is
only a single Constant* referencing a given memory location. The
Evaluator tries to ensure this by imposing certain limitations that
could result in ambiguities (by limiting types, casts and GEP formats),
but ultimately still fails, as can be seen in PR51879. The approach
is fundamentally fragile and will get more so with opaque pointers.
My original thought was to instead store memory for each global as an
offset => value representation. However, we also need to make sure
that we can actually rematerialize the modified global initializer
into a Constant in the end, which may not be possible if we allow
arbitrary writes.
What this patch does instead is to represent globals as a MutableValue,
which is either a Constant* or a MutableAggregate*. The mutable
aggregate exists to allow efficient mutation of individual aggregate
elements, as mutating an element on a Constant would require interning
a new constant. When a write to the Constant* is made, it is converted
into a MutableAggregate* as needed.
I believe this should make the evaluator more robust, compatible
with opaque pointers, and a bit simpler as well.

Trying to evaluate a GEP would assert with
"Ty == cast<PointerType>(C->getType()->getScalarType())->getElementType()"
because the type of the pointer we would evaluate the GEP argument to

pointer stripping as a bitcast.

Previously we would use the type of the pointee to determine what to
cast the result of constant folding a load. To aid with opaque pointer
types, we should explicitly pass the type of the load rather than
looking at pointee types.
ConstantFoldLoadThroughBitcast() converts the const prop'd value to the
proper load type (e.g. [1 x i32] -> i32). Instead of calling this in
every intermediate step like bitcasts, we only call this when we
actually see the global initializer value.
In some existing uses of this API, we don't know the exact type we're
loading from immediately (e.g. first we visit a bitcast, then we visit
the load using the bitcast). In those cases we have to manually call
ConstantFoldLoadThroughBitcast() when simplifying the load to make sure
that we cast to the proper type.

Turning on -fstrict-vtable-pointers in Chrome caused an extra global
initializer. Turns out that a llvm.strip.invariant.group intrinsic was
causing GlobalOpt to fail to step through some simple code.
We can treat *.invariant.group uses as simply their operand.
Value::stripPointerCastsForAliasAnalysis() does exactly this. This
should be safe because the Evaluator does not skip memory accesses due
to invariants or alias analysis.
However, we don't want to leak that we've stripped arbitrary pointer
casts to users of Evaluator, so we bail out if we evaluate a function to
any constant, since we may have looked through *.invariant.group calls
and aliasing pointers cannot be arbitrarily substituted.

This change introduces a new IR intrinsic named `llvm.pseudoprobe` for pseudo-probe block instrumentation. Please refer to https://reviews.llvm.org/D86193 for the whole story.
A pseudo probe is used to collect the execution count of the block where the probe is instrumented. This requires a pseudo probe to be persisting. The LLVM PGO instrumentation also instruments in similar places by placing a counter in the form of atomic read/write operations or runtime helper calls. While these operations are very persisting or optimization-resilient, in theory we can borrow the atomic read/write implementation from PGO counters and cut it off at the end of compilation with all the atomics converted into binary data. This was our initial design and we’ve seen promising sample correlation quality with it. However, the atomics approach has a couple issues:
1. IR Optimizations are blocked unexpectedly. Those atomic instructions are not going to be physically present in the binary code, but since they are on the IR till very end of compilation, they can still prevent certain IR optimizations and result in lower code quality.
2. The counter atomics may not be fully cleaned up from the code stream eventually.
3. Extra work is needed for re-targeting.
We choose to implement pseudo probes based on a special LLVM intrinsic, which is expected to have most of the semantics that comes with an atomic operation but does not block desired optimizations as much as possible. More specifically the semantics associated with the new intrinsic enforces a pseudo probe to be virtually executed exactly the same number of times before and after an IR optimization. The intrinsic also comes with certain flags that are carefully chosen so that the places they are probing are not going to be messed up by the optimizer while most of the IR optimizations still work. The core flags given to the special intrinsic is `IntrInaccessibleMemOnly`, which means the intrinsic accesses memory and does have a side effect so that it is not removable, but is does not access memory locations that are accessible by any original instructions. This way the intrinsic does not alias with any original instruction and thus it does not block optimizations as much as an atomic operation does. We also assign a function GUID and a block index to an intrinsic so that they are uniquely identified and not merged in order to achieve good correlation quality.
Let's now look at an example. Given the following LLVM IR:
```
define internal void @foo2(i32 %x, void (i32)* %f) !dbg !4 {
bb0:
%cmp = icmp eq i32 %x, 0
br i1 %cmp, label %bb1, label %bb2
bb1:
br label %bb3
bb2:
br label %bb3
bb3:
ret void
}
```
The instrumented IR will look like below. Note that each `llvm.pseudoprobe` intrinsic call represents a pseudo probe at a block, of which the first parameter is the GUID of the probe’s owner function and the second parameter is the probe’s ID.
```
define internal void @foo2(i32 %x, void (i32)* %f) !dbg !4 {
bb0:
%cmp = icmp eq i32 %x, 0
call void @llvm.pseudoprobe(i64 837061429793323041, i64 1)
br i1 %cmp, label %bb1, label %bb2
bb1:
call void @llvm.pseudoprobe(i64 837061429793323041, i64 2)
br label %bb3
bb2:
call void @llvm.pseudoprobe(i64 837061429793323041, i64 3)
br label %bb3
bb3:

Spin-off from D75407. As described there, ConstantFoldConstant()

This is confusing and makes consumer code more complicated.
I would expect either that ConstantFoldConstant() returns only if
it actually folded something, or that it always returns non-null.

When evaluating a store through a bitcast, the evaluator tries to move the
bitcast from the pointer onto the stored value. If the cast is invalid, it
tries to "introspect" the type to get a valid cast by obtaining a pointer to
the initial element (if the type is nested, this may require walking several
initial elements).
In some situations it is possible to get a bitcast on a load (e.g. with
unions, where the bitcast may not be the same type as the store). However,
equivalent logic to the store to introspect the type is missing. This patch
add this logic.
Note, when developing the patch I was unhappy with adding similar logic
directly to the load case as it could get out of step. Instead, I have
abstracted the "introspection" into a helper function, with the specifics
being handled by a passed-in lambda function.

This patch implements Chandler's idea [0] for supporting languages that
require support for infinite loops with side effects, such as Rust, providing
part of a solution to bug 965 [1].
Specifically, it adds an `llvm.sideeffect()` intrinsic, which has no actual
effect, but which appears to optimization passes to have obscure side effects,
such that they don't optimize away loops containing it. It also teaches
several optimization passes to ignore this intrinsic, so that it doesn't
significantly impact optimization in most cases.
As discussed on llvm-dev [2], this patch is the first of two major parts.
The second part, to change LLVM's semantics to have defined behavior
on infinite loops by default, with a function attribute for opting into
potential-undefined-behavior, will be implemented and posted for review in
