When accumulating the GEP offset in BasicAA, we should use the
pointer index size rather than the pointer size.

If we know that the var * scale multiplication is nsw, we can use
a saturating multiplication on the range (as a good approximation
of an nsw multiply). This recovers some cases where the fix from
D112611 is unnecessarily strict. (This can be further strengthened
by using a saturating add, but we currently don't track all the
necessary information for that.)
This exposes an issue in our NSW tracking for multiplies. The code
was assuming that (X +nsw Y) *nsw Z results in
(X *nsw Z) +nsw (Y *nsw Z) -- however, it is possible that the
distributed multiplications overflow, even if the non-distributed
one does not. We should discard the nsw flag if the the offset is
non-zero. If we just have (X *nsw Y) *nsw Z then concluding
X *nsw (Y *nsw Z) is fine.

The scale multiplication is only guaranteed to be nsw if the GEP
is inbounds (or the multiplication is trivial). Previously we were
only considering explicit muls in GEP indices.
BasicAA currently tries to determine that the offset is positive by
checking whether all variable indices are positive based on known
bits, multiplied by a positive scale. However, this is incorrect
if the scale multiplication might overflow. In the modified test
case the original value is positive, but may be negative after a
left shift.
Fix this by converting known bits into a constant range and reusing
the range-based logic, which handles overflow correctly.

Make the range check more precise by calculating the range of
potentially accessed bytes for both accesses and checking whether
their intersection is empty. In that case there can be no overlap
between the accesses and the result is NoAlias.
This is more powerful than the previous approach, because it can
deal with sign-wrapped ranges. In the test case the original range
is [-1, INT_MAX] but becomes [0, INT_MIN] after applying the offset.
This is a wrapping range, so getSignedMin/getSignedMax will treat
it as a full range. However, the range excludes the elements
[INT_MIN+1, -1], which is enough to prove NoAlias with an access
at offset -1.

D109746 made BasicAA use range information to determine the
minimum/maximum GEP offset. However, it was limited to the case of
a single variable index. This patch extends support to multiple
indices by adding all the ranges together.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D112378
GEP indices larger than the GEP index size are implicitly truncated
to the index size. BasicAA currently doesn't model this, resulting
in incorrect alias analysis results.
Fix this by explicitly modelling truncation in CastedValue in the
same way we do zext and sext. Additionally we need to disable a
number of optimizations for truncated values, in particular
"non-zero" and "non-equal" may no longer hold after truncation.
I believe the constant offset heuristic is also not necessarily
correct for truncated values, but wasn't able to come up with a
test for that one.
A possible followup here would be to use the new mechanism to
model explicit trunc as well (which should be much more common,
as it is the canonical form). This is straightforward, but omitted
here to separate the correctness fix from the analysis improvement.
(Side note: While I say "index size" above, BasicAA currently uses
the pointer size instead. Something for another day...)

Currently, DecomposeGEP() bails out on the whole decomposition if
it encounters a scalable GEP type anywhere. However, it is fine to
still analyze other GEPs that we look through before hitting the
scalable GEP. This does mean that the decomposed GEP base is no
longer required to be the same as the underlying object. However,
I don't believe this property is necessary for correctness anymore.
This allows us to compute slightly more precise aliasing results
for GEP chains containing scalable vectors, though my primary
interest here is simplifying the code.

BasicAA GEP decomposition currently performs all calculation on the
maximum pointer size, but at least 64-bit, with an option to double
the size. The code comment claims that this improves analysis power
when working with uint64_t indices on 32-bit systems. However, I don't
see how this can be, at least while maintaining correctness:
When working on canonical code, the GEP indices will have GEP index
size. If the original code worked on uint64_t with a 32-bit size_t,
then there will be truncs inserted before use as a GEP index. Linear
expression decomposition does not look through truncs, so this will
be an opaque value as far as GEP decomposition is concerned. Working
on a wider pointer size does not help here (or have any effect at all).
When working on non-canonical code (before first InstCombine), the
GEP indices are implicitly truncated to GEP index size. The BasicAA
code currently just ignores this fact completely, and pretends that
this truncation doesn't happen. This is incorrect and will be
addressed by D110977.
I believe that for correctness reasons, it is important to work on
the actual GEP index size to properly model potential overflow.
BasicAA tries to patch over the fact that it uses the wrong size
(see adjustToPointerSize), but it only does that in limited cases
(only for constant values, and not all of them either). I'd like to
move this code towards always working on the correct size, and
dropping these artificial pointer size adjustments is the first step
towards that.

When determining NoAlias based on object size and dereferenceability
information, we can ignore frees for the same reason we can ignore
possible null pointers (if null is not a valid pointer): Actually
accessing the null pointer / freed pointer would be immediate UB,
and AA results are only valid under the assumption of an access.
This addresses a minor regression from D110745.

When taking into account the fact that GEP indices are truncated
to 32-bits in this test, the "path dependence" goes away, so
inferring MustAlias for all pointers would be correct. As this
goes against the spirit of the test, change it to extend from
i16 instead.
This patch additional tests with i64 GEP indices for 32 bit pointers.
@mustalias_overflow_in_32_bit_add_mul_gep highlights a case where
BasicAA currently incorrectly determines noalias.

MSSA-based LICM has been enabled by default for a few years now.
This drops the old AST-based implementation. Using loop(licm) will
result in a fatal error, the use of loop-mssa(licm) is required

Note that the core canSinkOrHoistInst() logic has to retain AST
support for now, because it is shared with LoopSink.

This option has been enabled by default for quite a while now.
The practical impact of removing the option is that MSSA use
cannot be disabled in default pipelines (both LPM and NPM) and
in manual LPM invocations. NPM can still choose to enable/disable
MSSA using loop vs loop-mssa.
The next step will be to require MSSA for LICM and drop the
AST-based implementation entirely.

This is conceptually part of e75a2dfe. This file contains both tests whose results don't change (with the right attributes added), and tests which fundementally regress with the current proposal. Doing the update took some care, thus the seperate change.
Here's the e75a2dfe context repeated:
There's a potential change in dereferenceability attribute semantics in the nearish future. See llvm-dev thread "RFC: Decomposing deref(N) into deref(N) + nofree" and D99100 for context.
This change simply adds appropriate attributes to tests to keep transform logic exercised under both old and new/proposed semantics. Note that for many of these cases, O3 would infer exactly these attributes on the test IR.
This change handles the idiomatic pattern of a dereferenceable object being passed to a call which can not free that memory. There's a couple other tests which need more one-off attention, they'll be handled in another change.
Use separate variable for adjusted scale used for GCD computations. This
fixes an issue where we incorrectly determined that all indices are
non-negative and returned noalias because of that.
Follow up to 91fa3565da16.
(V * Scale) % X may not produce the same result for any possible value
of V, e.g. if the multiplication overflows. This means we currently
incorrectly determine NoAlias in some cases.
This patch updates LinearExpression to track whether the expression
has NSW and uses that to adjust the scale used for alias checks.

Remove the `nosync` attribute from the memory intrinsic definitions
(i.e. memset, memcpy, memmove).
Like native memory accesses, memory intrinsics can be volatile. This is
indicated by an immarg in the intrinsic call. All else equal, a volatile
memory intrinsic is `sync`, so we cannot annotate the intrinsic functions
themselves as `nosync`. The attributor and function-attr passes know to
take the volatile bit into account.
Since `nosync` is a default attribute, this means we have to stop using
the DefaultAttrIntrinsic tablegen class for memory intrinsics, and
specify all default attributes other than `nosync` explicitly.
Most of the test changes are trivial churn, but one test case
(in nosync.ll) was in fact incorrect before this change.

This can only happen if offset types that are larger than the
pointer size are involved. The previous implementation did not
assert in this case because it initialized the APInts to the
width of one of the variables -- though I strongly suspect it
did not compute correct results in this case.

The current linear expression decomposition handles zext/sext by
decomposing the casted operand, and then checking NUW/NSW flags
to determine whether the extension can be distributed. This has
some disadvantages:
First, it is not possible to perform a partial decomposition. If
we have zext((x + C1) +<nuw> C2) then we will fail to decompose
the expression entirely, even though it would be safe and
profitable to decompose it to zext(x + C1) +<nuw> zext(C2)
Second, we may end up performing unnecessary decompositions,
which will later be discarded because they lack nowrap flags
necessary for extensions.
Third, correctness of the code is not entirely obvious: At a high
level, we encounter zext(x -<nuw> C) in the form of a zext on the
linear expression x + (-C) with nuw flag set. Notably, this case
must be treated as zext(x) + -zext(C) rather than zext(x) + zext(-C).
The code handles this correctly by speculatively zexting constants
to the final bitwidth, and performing additional fixup if the
actual extension turns out to be an sext. This was not immediately
obvious to me.
This patch inverts the approach: An ExtendedValue represents a
zext(sext(V)), and linear expression decomposition will try to
decompose V further, either by absorbing another sext/zext into the
ExtendedValue, or by distributing zext(sext(x op C)) over a binary
operator with appropriate nsw/nuw flags. At each step we can
determine whether distribution is legal and abort with a partial
decomposition if not. We also know which extensions we need to
apply to constants, and don't need to speculate or fixup.
While explicit sext instructions were handled correctly, the
implicit sext that occurs if the offset is smaller than the
pointer size blindly assumed that sext(X * Scale + Offset) is the
same as sext(X) * Scale + Offset, which is obviously not correct.
Fix this by extracting the code that handles linear expression
extension and reusing it for the implicit sext as well.
A number of variables need to be correctly initialized on entry
to GetLinearExpression() for the implementation to behave reasonably.
The fact that SExtBits can currenlty be non-zero on entry is a bug,
as demonstrated by the added test: For implicit sexts by the GEP,
we do currently skip legality checks.
Nowrap flags between mul and shl differ in that mul nsw allows
multiplication of 1 * INT_MIN, while shl nsw does not. This means
that it is always fine to transfer shl nowrap flags to muls, but
not necessarily the other way around. In this case the NUW/NSW
results refer to mul/add operations, so it's fine to retain the
flags from the shl.
This patch adds a few test cases where currently NoAlias is returned,
but the pointers can alias if the multiply overflows while computing
a GEP index value.
This fixes a regression reported on D99022: If a call has operand
bundles, then the inaccessiblememonly attribute on the function
will be ignored, as operand bundles can affect modref behavior in
the general case. However, for assume operand bundles in particular
this is not the case.
Adjust getModRefBehavior() to always report inaccessiblememonly
for assumes, regardless of presence of operand bundles.
BasicAA stores a reference to LoopInfo inside. This imposes an implicit
requirement of keeping it up to date whenever we modify the IR (in particular,
whenever we modify terminators of blocks that belong to loops). Failing
to do so leads to incorrect state of the LoopInfo.
Because general AA does not require loop info updates and provides to API to
update it properly, the users of AA reasonably assume that there is no need to
update the loop info. It may be a reason of bugs, as example in PR43276 shows.
This patch drops dependence of BasicAA on LoopInfo to avoid this problem.
This may potentially pessimize the result of queries to BasicAA.

BasicAA knows how to analyze phis, but to control compile time, we're fairly limited in doing so. This patch loosens that restriction just slightly when there is exactly one phi input (after discounting induction variable increments). The result of this is that we can handle more cases around nested and sibling loops with pointer induction variables.
A few points to note.
* This is deliberately extremely restrictive about recursing through at most one input of the phi. There's a known general problem with BasicAA sometimes hitting exponential compile time already, and this patch makes every effort not to compound the problem. Once the root issue is fixed, we can probably loosen the restrictions here a bit.
* As seen in the test file, we're still missing cases which aren't *directly* based on phis (e.g. using the indvar increment). I believe this to be a separate problem and am going to explore this in another patch once this one lands.
* As seen in the test file, this results in the unfortunate fact that using phivalues sometimes results in worse quality results. I believe this comes down to an oversight in how recursive phi detection was implemented for phivalues. I'm happy to tackle this in a follow up change.
