Remove dead virtual functions from vtables with
replaceNonMetadataUsesWith, so that CGProfile metadata gets cleaned up
correctly.
Original commit message:
Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual
functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced
by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live
code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there
are no call sites which can use it.
This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and
regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match
virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This
information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead
of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately
determine which functions are reachable.
To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to
always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load
intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing
this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test
and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible
for optimisations to obscure the relationship between the GEP, load and
llvm.type.test, causing GlobalDCE to fail to find virtual function call
sites.
The existing linkage and visibility types don't accurately describe the scope
in which a virtual call could be made which uses a given vtable. This is
wider than the visibility of the type itself, because a virtual function call
could be made using a more-visible base class. I've added a new
!vcall_visibility metadata type to represent this, described in
TypeMetadata.rst. The internalization pass and libLTO have been updated to
change this metadata when linking is performed.
This doesn't currently work with ThinLTO, because it needs to see every call
to llvm.type.checked.load in the linkage unit. It might be possible to
extend this optimisation to be able to use the ThinLTO summary, as was done
for devirtualization, but until then that combination is rejected in the
clang driver.
To test this, I've written a fuzzer which generates random C++ programs with
complex class inheritance graphs, and virtual functions called through object
and function pointers of different types. The programs are spread across
multiple translation units and DSOs to test the different visibility
restrictions.
I've also tried doing bootstrap builds of LLVM to test this. This isn't
ideal, because only classes in anonymous namespaces can be optimised with
-fvisibility=default, and some parts of LLVM (plugins and bugpoint) do not
work correctly with -fvisibility=hidden. However, there are only 12 test
failures when building with -fvisibility=hidden (and an unmodified compiler),
and this change does not cause any new failures for either value of
-fvisibility.
On the 7 C++ sub-benchmarks of SPEC2006, this gives a geomean code-size
reduction of ~6%, over a baseline compiled with "-O2 -flto
-fvisibility=hidden -fwhole-program-vtables". The best cases are reductions
of ~14% in 450.soplex and 483.xalancbmk, and there are no code size
increases.
I've also run this on a set of 8 mbed-os examples compiled for Armv7M, which
show a geomean size reduction of ~3%, again with no size increases.
I had hoped that this would have no effect on performance, which would allow
it to awlays be enabled (when using -fwhole-program-vtables). However, the
changes in clang to use the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic are causing ~1%
performance regression in the C++ parts of SPEC2006. It should be possible to
recover some of this perf loss by teaching optimisations about the
llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, which would make it worth turning this on
by default (though it's still dependent on -fwhole-program-vtables).

Add a pass to lower is.constant and objectsize intrinsics
This pass lowers is.constant and objectsize intrinsics not simplified by
earlier constant folding, i.e. if the object given is not constant or if
not using the optimized pass chain. The result is recursively simplified
and constant conditionals are pruned, so that dead blocks are removed
even for -O0. This allows inline asm blocks with operand constraints to
work all the time.
The new pass replaces the existing lowering in the codegen-prepare pass
and fallbacks in SDAG/GlobalISEL and FastISel. The latter now assert
on the intrinsics.

Even if an argument is captured, we cannot have an effect the function

in ExtBinary format
Currently for Text, Binary and ExtBinary format profiles, when we compile a
module with samplefdo, even if there is no function showing up in the profile,
we have to load all the function profiles from the profile input. That is a
waste of compile time.
CompactBinary format profile has already had the support of loading function
profiles on demand. In this patch, we add the support to load profile on
demand for ExtBinary format. It will work no matter the sections in ExtBinary
format profile are compressed or not. Experiment shows it reduces the time to
compile a server benchmark by 30%.
When profile remapping and loading function profiles on demand are both used,
extra work needs to be done so that the loading on demand process will take
the name remapping into consideration. It will be addressed in a follow-up
patch.

This resolves a quadratic compile-time bug observed when compiling
AMDGPUDisassembler.cpp.o.

```
---User Time--- --System Time-- --User+System-- ---Wall Time--- --- Name ---

```
Post-patch (ReleaseAsserts clang):
```
---User Time--- --System Time-- --User+System-- ---Wall Time--- --- Name ---
1.4051 ( 3.3%) 0.0079 ( 0.3%) 1.4129 ( 3.2%) 1.4129 ( 3.2%) Hot Cold Splitting
```
Testing: check-llvm, and comparing the AMDGPUDisassembler.cpp.o binary
pre- vs. post-patch.
An alternate approach is to hide CodeExtractorAnalysisCache from clients
of CodeExtractor, and to recompute the analysis from scratch inside of
CodeExtractor::extractCodeRegion(). This eliminates some redundant work
in the shrinkwrapping legality check. However, some clients continue to
exhibit O(n^2) compile time behavior as computing the analysis is O(n).

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
}
```

Doing this makes MSVC complain that `empty(someRange)` could refer to
either C++17's std::empty or LLVM's llvm::empty, which previously we
avoided via SFINAE because std::empty is defined in terms of an empty

profile symbol list.
Currently many existing users using profile-sample-accurate want to reduce
code size as much as possible. Their use cases are different from the scenario
profile symbol list tries to handle -- the major motivation of adding profile
symbol list is to get the major memory/code size saving without introduce
performance regression. So to keep the behavior of profile-sample-accurate
unchanged, we think decoupling these two things and using a new flag to
control the handling of profile symbol list may be better.
When profile-sample-accurate and the new flag profile-accurate-for-symsinlist
are both present, since profile-sample-accurate is a user assertion we let it
have a higher precedence.

When a cold path is outlined, the value tracking in the assumption cache may be
invalidated due to the code motion. We would previously trip an assertion in
subsequent passes (but required the passes to happen in a single run as the
assumption cache is shared across the passes). Invalidating the cache ensures
that we get the correct information when needed with the legacy pass manager as
well.
