Dependences between two abstract attributes SRC and TRG come naturally in
two flavors:
Either (1) "some" information of SRC is *required* for TRG to derive
information, or (2) SRC is just an *optional* way for TRG to derive
information.
While it is not strictly necessary to distinguish these types
explicitly, it can help us to converge faster, in terms of iterations,
and also cut down the number of `AbstractAttribute::update` calls.
As far as I can tell, we only use optional dependences for liveness so
far but that might change in the future. With this change the Attributor
can be informed about the "dependence class" and it will perform
appropriate actions when an Attribute is set to an invalid state, thus
one that cannot be used by others to derive information from.
BlockAddress users will not "call" the function so they do not qualify
as call sites in the first place. When we delete a function with
BlockAddress users we need to first remove the body so they are properly
discarded.
When we replace constant returns at the call site we did issue a cast in
the hopes it would be a no-op if the types are equal. Turns out that is
not the case and we have to check it ourselves first.
Reused an IPConstantProp test for coverage. No functional change to the
test wrt. IPConstantProp.
Even if the invoked function may-return, we can replace it with a call
and branch if it is nounwind. We had almost everything in place to do
this but did not which actually caused a crash when we removed the
landingpad from the actually dead unwind block.
Exposed by the IPConstantProp tests.
We did merge "known" and "assumed" liveness information into a single
set which caused various kinds of problems, especially because we did
not properly record when something was actually known. With this patch
we properly track the "known" bit and distinguish dead ends we know from
the ones we still need to explore in future updates.
We gave up on `noreturn` if `willreturn` was known for a while but we
now again try to always derive `noreturn`. This is useful because a
function that is `noreturn` + `willreturn` is basically dead as
executing it would lead to undefined behavior (UB).
This came up in the IPConstantProp cases where a function only contained
a unreachable but was not marked `noreturn` which caused missed
opportunities down the line.
In D69605 only the "cases" of a switch were handled but if none matched
we did not make the default case life. This is fixed now and properly
tested (with code from IPConstantProp/user-with-multiple-uses.ll).
We cannot simply replace arguments that carry attributes like `nest`,
`inalloca`, `sret`, and `byval`. Except for the last one, which we can
replace if it is not written, we bail for now.
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.
We cannot look at the subsuming positions and take their nocapture bit
as shown with the two tests for which we derived nocapture on the call
site argument and readonly on the argument of the second before.
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.

Summary:
In order to get context sensitivity from isKnownNonZero we need to
provide a context instruction *and* a dominator tree. The latter is
passed now to which actually allows to remove some initialization code.

Summary:
If control is transferred to a successor is the key question when it
comes to liveness. The new implementation puts that question in the
focus and thereby providing a clean way to assume certain CFG edges are
dead or instructions will not transfer control.

Summary:
This patch introduces liveness (AAIsDead) for all positions, thus for
all kinds of values. For now, we say an instruction is dead if it would
be removed assuming all users are dead. A call site return is different
as we just look at the users. If all call site returns have been
eliminated, the return values can return undef instead of their original
value, eliminating uses.
We try to recursively delete dead instructions now and we introduce a
simple check interface for use-traversal.
This is the idea tried out in D68626 but implemented in the right way.

Deleting blocks will require us to deal with dead edges, e.g.,
`br i1 false, label %live, label %dead`
explicitly. For now we just clear the blocks and move on.
This will be revisited once we actually fold branches.
Summary:
If there is a unique free of the allocated that has to be reached from
the malloc, we can apply the heap-2-stack transformation even if the
pointer escapes.

If an attribute did not query any optimistic (=non-fixed) information to
justify its state, we know the attribute state will not change anymore.
Thus, we can indicate an optimistic fixpoint.
We pretended IRPosition came either as mutable or immutable objects
while they are basically always immutable, with a single (existing)
unfortunate exceptions. This patch cleans up the uses to deal with the
immutable version.
To make IntegerState more flexible but also less error prone we split it
up into (1) incrementing, (2) decrementing, and (3) bit-tracking states.
This adds functionality compared to before and disallows misuse, e.g.,
"incrementing" updates on a bit-tracking state.
Part of the change is a single operator in the base class which
simplifies helper functions that deal with states.
There are certain functional changes but all of which should actually be
corrections.
AAReturnedValues, AAMemoryBehavior, and AANoUnwind, can provide
information that helps during the tracking or even justifies no-capture.
We now use this information and enable no-capture in some test cases
designed a long while a ago for these cases.

No-return and will-return are exclusive, assuming the latter is more
prominent we can avoid updates of the former unless will-return is not
known for sure.
llvm-svn: 374739
Even if an argument is captured, we cannot have an effect the function
does not have. This is fine except for the special case of `inalloca` as
it does not behave by the rules.
TODO: Maybe the special rule for `inalloca` is wrong after all.

Before, we eagerly split blocks even if it was not necessary, e.g., they
had a single unreachable instruction and only a single predecessor.

We do not yet perform h2s because we know something is free'ed but we do
it because we know the pointer does not escape. Storing the pointer
allows it to escape so we have to prevent that.

H2S did apply to mallocs of non-constant sizes if the uses were OK. This
is now forbidden through reording of the "good" and "bad" cases in the
conditional.

The check for naked/optnone was insufficient for different reasons. We
now check before we initialize an abstract attribute and we do it for
all abstract attributes.
llvm-svn: 374694
Summary:
`null` in the default address space (=AS 0) cannot be captured nor can
it alias anything. We make this clear now as it can be important for
callbacks and other cases later on. In addition, this patch improves the
debug output for noalias deduction.

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
}
```
