lifetime.start and lifetime.end are primarily intended for use on
allocas, to enable stack coloring and other liveness optimizations. This
is necessary because all (static) allocas are hoisted into the entry
block, so lifetime markers are the only way to convey the actual
lifetimes.
However, lifetime.start and lifetime.end are currently *allowed* to be
used on non-alloca pointers. We don't actually do this in practice, but
just the mere fact that this is possible breaks the core purpose of the
lifetime markers, which is stack coloring of allocas. Stack coloring can
only work correctly if all lifetime markers for an alloca are
analyzable.
* If a lifetime marker may operate on multiple allocas via a select/phi,
we don't know which lifetime actually starts/ends and handle it
incorrectly (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/104776).
* Stack coloring operates on the assumption that all lifetime markers
are visible, and not, for example, hidden behind a function call or
escaped pointer. It's not possible to change this, as part of the
purpose of lifetime markers is that they work even in the presence of
escaped pointers, where simple use analysis is insufficient.
I don't think there is any way to have coherent semantics for lifetime
markers on allocas, while also permitting them on arbitrary pointer
values.
This PR restricts lifetimes to operate on allocas only. As a followup, I
will also drop the size argument, which is superfluous if we always
operate on an alloca. (This change also renders various code handling
lifetime markers on non-alloca dead. I plan to clean up that kind of
code after dropping the size argument as well.)
In practice, I've only found a few places that currently produce
lifetimes on non-allocas:
* CoroEarly replaces the promise alloca with the result of an intrinsic,
which will later be replaced back with an alloca. I think this is the
only place where there is some legitimate loss of functionality, but I
don't think this is particularly important (I don't think we'd expect
the promise in a coroutine to admit useful lifetime optimization.)
* SafeStack moves unsafe allocas onto a separate frame. We can safely
drop lifetimes here, as SafeStack performs its own stack coloring.
* Similar for AddressSanitizer, it also moves allocas into separate
memory.
* LSR sometimes replaces the lifetime argument with a GEP chain of the
alloca (where the offsets ultimately cancel out). This is just
unnecessary. (Fixed separately in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/149492.)
* InferAddrSpaces sometimes makes lifetimes operate on an addrspacecast
of an alloca. I don't think this is necessary.
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.
Changes the size of allocations automatically.
For now, implements the case when a single range from start of the
allocation is alive and the allocation can be reduced.
It was never really useful to track #iterations, though it helped during
the initial development. What we should track, in a follow up, are
potentially #updates. That is also what we should restrict instead of
the #iterations.
If the stack is not accessible by other threads, e.g., on a GPU, we need
to ensure heap-2-stack will not create a stack version of a pointer that
might be passed to another thread. Since passing through memory is by
default transparent, we need to register a callback and inspect stores
we might look through explicitly.
IR is now always parsed in opaque pointer mode, unless
-opaque-pointers=0 is explicitly given. There is no automatic
detection of typed pointers anymore.
The -opaque-pointers=0 option is added to any remaining IR tests
that haven't been migrated yet.

This switches everything to use the memory attribute proposed in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-unify-memory-effect-attributes/65579.
The old argmemonly, inaccessiblememonly and inaccessiblemem_or_argmemonly
attributes are dropped. The readnone, readonly and writeonly attributes
are restricted to parameters only.
The old attributes are auto-upgraded both in bitcode and IR.
The bitcode upgrade is a policy requirement that has to be retained
indefinitely. The IR upgrade is mainly there so it's not necessary
to update all tests using memory attributes in this patch, which
is already large enough. We could drop that part after migrating
tests, or retain it longer term, to make it easier to import IR
from older LLVM versions.
High-level Function/CallBase APIs like doesNotAccessMemory() or
setDoesNotAccessMemory() are mapped transparently to the memory
attribute. Code that directly manipulates attributes (e.g. via
AttributeList) on the other hand needs to switch to working with
the memory attribute instead.

Now that the legacy PM is no longer tested, the huge matrix of

confusing for the casual reader. Reduce the prefixes down to just
CHECK, TUNIT and CGSCC.
This is the first patch in a series intended for removing flag
-enable-new-pm=0 from lit tests. This is part of a bigger
effort of completely removing legacy code related to legacy
pass manager in favor of currently default new pass manager.
In this patch flag has been removed only from tests where no significant

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.

The Attributor, as many other parts in LLVM, uses pointer equivalence
for `llvm::Value`s. This only works as long as `llvm::Value`s are
dynamically unique, or, to be exact, we will never end up with the same
`llvm::Value` representing two dynamic instances. We already provided a
helper to check the former, namely `AA::isDynamicallyUnique`, however we
could not check the latter. In this patch we move the logic into a
separate AA which helps with the growing complexity and use cases. We
also extend the interface to answer the second question rather than the
first. So we do not determine dynamically uniqueness but if we might end
up with the `llvm::Value` describing a different dynamic instance. Note
that the latter is very much tied to the Attributor capabilities to look
through memory, recursion, etc. so we need to update the logic as we go.
We look through loads in the "generic value traversal" and we
consequently don't need to look through them again in AAValueSimplify*.
The test changes stem from the fact that we allowed any simplified
value, incl. non-dynamically unique ones, as long as the underlying
memory was an alloca. This doesn't seem to make sense as allocas do not
protect against dynamically non-unique values. We need to make the
unique check better rather than excluding allocas. That in mind, we can
remove a lot of code by simply relying on the generic value traversal
load look through.
To soften the blow some minor adjustments have been made that allow more
simplification through the now used scheme and some tests have been
given a `norecurse` for now.
This reverts commit 7aea3ea8c3b33c9bb338d5d6c0e4832be1d09ac3 as it
breaks the buildbots.
I didn't see these failures in the pre-merge checks, looking into it.
Most intrinsics, especially "default" ones, will not call back into the
IR module. `nocallback` encodes this nicely. As it was not used before,
this patch also makes use of `nocallback` in the Attributor which
results in many more `norecurse` deductions.
Tablegen part is mechanical, test updates by script.

Heap-2-stack and heap-2-shared can replace an allocation call with
something else. To avoid us deriving information from the allocator
implementation we register a simplification callback now that will
force us to stop at the call site. We probably should create the
replacement memory eagerly and return that instead though.
Prior to this change, LLVM would attempt to optimize an
aligned_alloc(33, ...) call to the stack. This flunked an assertion when
trying to emit the alloca, which crashed LLVM. Avoid that with extra
checks.

This fixes a conceptual problem with our AAIsDead usage which conflated
call site liveness with call site return value liveness. Without the
fix tests would obviously miscompile as we make genericValueTraversal
more powerful (in a follow up). The effects on the tests are mixed but
mostly marginal. The most prominent one is the lack of `noreturn` for
functions. The reason is that we make entire blocks live at the same
time (for time reasons). Now that we actually look at the block
liveness, which we need to do, the return instructions are live and
will survive. As an example, `noreturn_async.ll` has been modified
to retain the `noreturn` even with block granularity. We could address
this easily but there is little need in practice.
Since D104432 we can look through memory by analyzing all writes that
might interfere with a load. This patch provides some logic to exclude
writes that cannot interfere with a location, due to CFG reasoning.
We make sure to avoid multi-thread write-read situations properly while
we ignore writes that cannot reach a load or writes that will be
overwritten before the load is reached.

Rewrite the calloc specific handling in heap-to-stack to allow arbitrary init values. The basic problem being solved is that if an allocation is initilized to anything other than zero, this must be explicitly done for the formed alloca as well.
This covers the calloc case today, but once a couple of earlier guards are removed in this code, downstream allocators with other init values could also be handled.
Inspired by discussion on D116971
AAPointerInfo, and thereby other places, can look already through
internal global and stack memory. This patch enables them to look
through heap memory returned by functions with a `noalias` return.
In the future we can look through `noalias` arguments as well but that
will require AAIsDead to learn that such memory can be inspected by the
caller later on. We also need teach AAPointerInfo about dominance to
actually deal with memory that might not be `null` or `undef`
initialized. D106397 is a first step in that direction already.

This patch changes the HeapToStack optimization to attach the return alignment
attribute information to the created alloca instruction. This would cause
problems when replacing the heap allocation with an alloca did not respect the
alignment of the original heap allocation, which would typically be aligned on
an 8 or 16 byte boundary. Malloc calls now contain alignment attributes,
so we can use that information here.

AAMemoryBehaviorFloating used a custom use tracking mechanism even
though checkForAllUses exists and is already more powerful. Further,
AAMemoryBehaviorFloating uses AANoCapture to guarantee that there are no
aliases and following the uses is sufficient. This is an OK assumption
if checkForAllUses is used but custom tracking is easily out of sync
with AANoCapture and problems follow.
We first simplify the operands of a compare and then reason on the
simplified versions, e.g., with AANonNull.
This does improve the simplification capabilities but also fixes a
potential problem that has not yet been observed by simplifying the
operands first.
This patch introduces AAPointerInfo which tracks the uses of a pointer
and places them in "bins" based on their offset from the base and access
size.
As with other AAs, any pointer can be tracked but it is up to the user
to make sense of the results. The user in this patch is AAValueSimplify
and AAPotentialValues which both utilize AAPointerInfo to determine the
value of a load. For now, this is restricted to loads of allocas and
internal globals. Through the use of AAPointerInfo and the "bins" we can
track struct members separately. The users also know that storing only
zeros (at unknown indices) will result in loading only 0 (from unknown
indices). Other than that, the users are flow and context insensitive
(for now).
To deal with the "bins" more easily, AAPointerInfo provides a
forallInterfearingAccesses that applies a callback on all accesses
that might interfere with a given load or store.
