Attempting to pass a `ptr addrspace(7)` to functions that take `ptr`
arguments produces undesirable `addrspacecast(addrspacecast(p8 x to p7)
to p0) => addrspacecast(p8 x to p0)` folds. This results in illegal GEP
operations on buffer resources, which can't be GEP'd. (However, note
that, while unimplemneted, addressspacecast from ptr addrspace(7) to ptr
is legal - it's just an effective address computation)
To resolve this problem, and thus prevent illegal
`getelementptr T, ptr addrspace(8) %x, ...` s from being produces, this
commit extends amdgcn.make.buffer.rsrc to also be variadic in its result
type, auto-upgrading old manglings.
The logic for handling a make.buffer.rsrc in instruction selection
remains untouched and expects the output type to be a ptr addrspace(8),
as does the Clang lowering for its builtin (the pointer-to-pointer
version might want a different name in clang). LowerBufferFatPointers
has been updated to lower
amdgcn.make.buffer.rsrc.p7.p* to amdgcn.make.buffer.rsrc.p8.p* .
This'll also make exposing buffer fat pointers in Clang easier, since
you don't have to cast between a `__amdgcn_rsrc_t` and a pointer.
This PR removes the old `nocapture` attribute, replacing it with the new
`captures` attribute introduced in #116990. This change is
intended to be essentially NFC, replacing existing uses of `nocapture`
with `captures(none)` without adding any new analysis capabilities.
Making use of non-`none` values is left for a followup.
Some notes:
* `nocapture` will be upgraded to `captures(none)` by the bitcode
reader.
* `nocapture` will also be upgraded by the textual IR reader. This is to
make it easier to use old IR files and somewhat reduce the test churn in
this PR.
* Helper APIs like `doesNotCapture()` will check for `captures(none)`.
* MLIR import will convert `captures(none)` into an `llvm.nocapture`
attribute. The representation in the LLVM IR dialect should be updated
separately.
This patch adds missing `norecurse` attrs to funcs that only call intrinsics with `nocallback` attrs.
Fixes the regression found in https://github.com/dtcxzyw/llvm-opt-benchmark/pull/45#discussion_r1436148743.
The function loses `norecurse` attr because it calls `@llvm.fabs.f64`, which is not marked as `norecurse`.
Since `norecurse` is not a default attribute of intrinsics and it is
ambiguous for intrinsics, I decided to use the existing `callback`
attributes.
> nocallback
This attribute indicates that the function is only allowed to jump back
into caller’s module by a return or an exception, and is not allowed to
jump back by invoking a callback function, a direct, possibly
transitive, external function call, use of longjmp, or other means. It
is a compiler hint that is used at module level to improve dataflow
analysis, dropped during linking, and has no effect on functions defined
in the current module.

Fixes#68270
The function attribute analysis handles many instructions, like
addrspacecast, which do not themselves read or write memory but which
transform pointers into other values in the same alias set.
There are intrinsic functions, such as ptrmask or the AMDGPU-specific
make.buffer.rsrc, which also preserve membership in alias sets without
capturing. This commit adds the addrspacecast-like behavior to these
calls.
