Summary:
So far, whenever one wants to look at returned values, one had to deal
with the AAReturnedValues and potentially with the AAIsDead attribute.
In the same spirit as other checkForAllXXX methods, we add this
functionality now to the Attributor. By adopting the use sites we got
better results when return instructions were dead.

A function is "no-return" if we never reach a return instruction, either
because there are none or the ones that exist are dead.
Test have been adjusted:
- either noreturn was added, or
- noreturn was avoided by modifying the code.
The new noreturn_{sync,async} test make sure we do handle invoke
instructions with a noreturn (and potentially nowunwind) callee
correctly, even in the presence of potential asynchronous exceptions.
llvm-svn: 367948
When we remove instructions cached references could still be live. This
patch avoids removing invoke instructions that are replaced by calls and
instead keeps them around but in a dead block.
llvm-svn: 367933
Summary:
This contains various fixes:
- Explicitly determine and return the next noreturn instruction.
- If an invoke calls a noreturn function which is not nounwind we
keep the unwind destination live. This also means we require an
invoke. Though we can still add the unreachable to the normal
destination block.
- Check if the return instructions are dead after we look for calls
to avoid triggering an optimistic fixpoint in the presence of
assumed liveness information.
- Make the interface work with "const" pointers.
- Some simplifications
While additional tests are included, full coverage is achieved only with
D59978.

Pointers that are in-bounds (either through dereferenceable_or_null or
thorough a getelementptr inbounds) cannot be captured with a comparison
against null. There is no way to construct a pointer that is still in
bounds but also NULL.
This helps safe languages that insert null checks before load/store
instructions. Without this patch, almost all pointers would be
considered captured even for simple loads. With this patch, an icmp with
null will not be seen as escaping as long as certain conditions are met.
There was a lot of discussion about this patch. See the Phabricator
thread for detals.

NOTE: Note that no attributes are derived yet. This patch will not go in
alone but only with others that derive attributes. The framework is
split for review purposes.
This commit introduces the Attributor pass infrastructure and fixpoint
iteration framework. Further patches will introduce abstract attributes
into this framework.
In a nutshell, the Attributor will update instances of abstract
arguments until a fixpoint, or a "timeout", is reached. Communication
between the Attributor and the abstract attributes that are derived is
restricted to the AbstractState and AbstractAttribute interfaces.
Please see the file comment in Attributor.h for detailed information
including design decisions and typical use case. Also consider the class
documentation for Attributor, AbstractState, and AbstractAttribute.

Summary:
Support for this option is needed for building Linux kernel.
This is a very frequently requested feature by kernel developers.
More details : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/4/601
GCC option description for -fdelete-null-pointer-checks:
This Assume that programs cannot safely dereference null pointers,
and that no code or data element resides at address zero.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks is the inverse of this implying that
null pointer dereferencing is not undefined.
This feature is implemented in LLVM IR in this CL as the function attribute
"null-pointer-is-valid"="true" in IR (Under review at D47894).
The CL updates several passes that assumed null pointer dereferencing is
undefined to not optimize when the "null-pointer-is-valid"="true"
attribute is present.

Summary:
This was motivated by absence of PrunEH functionality in new PM.
It was decided that a proper way to do PruneEH is to add NoUnwind inference
into PostOrderFunctionAttrs and then perform normal SimplifyCFG on top.
This change generalizes attribute handling implemented for (a removal of)
Convergent attribute, by introducing a generic builder-like class
AttributeInferer
It registers all the attribute inference requests, storing per-attribute
predicates into a vector, and then goes through an SCC Node, scanning all
the instructions for not breaking attribute assumptions.
The main idea is that as soon all the instructions from all the functions
of SCC Node conform to attribute assumptions then we are free to infer
the attribute as set for all the functions of SCC Node.
It handles two distinct cases of attributes:
- those that might break due to derefinement of the function code
for these attributes we are allowed to apply inference only if all the
functions are "exact definitions". Example - NoUnwind.
- those that do not care about derefinement
for these attributes we are allowed to apply inference as soon as we see
any function definition. Example - removal of Convergent attribute.
Also in this commit:
* Converted all the FunctionAttrs tests to use FileCheck and added new-PM
invocations to them
* FunctionAttrs/convergent.ll test demonstrates a difference in behavior between
new and old PM implementations. Marked with FIXME.
* PruneEH tests were converted to new-PM as well, using function-attrs+simplify-cfg
combo as intended
* some of "other" tests were updated since function-attrs now infers 'nounwind'
even for old PM pipeline
* -disable-nounwind-inference hidden option added as a possible workaround for a supposedly
rare case when nounwind being inferred by default presents a problem

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
a separate patch.

2) Specifies the value range of that symbol's address.

immediates by extending the relocImm and mov64imm32 matchers. Start using
relocImm in more places where it is legal.
