As part of the RemoveDIs project we need LLVM to insert instructions using
iterators wherever possible, so that the iterators can carry a bit of
debug-info. This commit implements some of that by updating the contents of
llvm/lib/Transforms/Utils to always use iterator-versions of instruction
constructors.
There are two general flavours of update:
* Almost all call-sites just call getIterator on an instruction
* Several make use of an existing iterator (scenarios where the code is
actually significant for debug-info)
The underlying logic is that any call to getFirstInsertionPt or similar
APIs that identify the start of a block need to have that iterator passed
directly to the insertion function, without being converted to a bare
Instruction pointer along the way.
Noteworthy changes:
* FindInsertedValue now takes an optional iterator rather than an
instruction pointer, as we need to always insert with iterators,
* I've added a few iterator-taking versions of some value-tracking and
DomTree methods -- they just unwrap the iterator. These are purely
convenience methods to avoid extra syntax in some passes.
* A few calls to getNextNode become std::next instead (to keep in the
theme of using iterators for positions),
* SeparateConstOffsetFromGEP has it's insertion-position field changed.
Noteworthy because it's not a purely localised spelling change.
All this should be NFC.
Since we no longer support typed LLVM IR pointer types, the code can
be simplified into for example using PointerType::get directly instead
of using Type::getInt8PtrTy and Type::getInt32PtrTy etc.

When optimizing retain-release-sequences we insert (and delete) ObjC runtime calls.

Currently, the clang.arc.attachedcall bundle takes an optional function
argument. Depending on whether the argument is present, calls with this
bundle have the following semantics:
- on x86, with the argument present, the call is lowered to:
call _target
mov rax, rdi
call _objc_retainAutoreleasedReturnValue
- on AArch64, without the argument, the call is lowered to:
bl _target
mov x29, x29
and the objc runtime call is expected to be emitted separately.
That's because, on x86, the objc runtime checks for both the mov and
the call on x86, and treats the combination as the ARC autorelease elision
marker.
But on AArch64, it only checks for the dedicated NOP marker, as that's
historically been sufficiently unique. Thanks to that, the runtime call
wasn't required to be adjacent to the NOP marker, so it wasn't emitted
as part of the bundle sequence.
This patch unifies both architectures: on AArch64, we now emit all
3 instructions for the bundle. This guarantees that the runtime call
is adjacent to the marker in the sequence, and that's information the
runtime can use to further optimize this.
This helps simplify some of the handling, in particular
BundledRetainClaimRVs, which no longer needs to know whether the bundle
is sufficient or not: it now always should be.
Note that this does not include an AutoUpgrade for the nullary bundles,
as they are only produced in ObjCContract as part of the obj/asm emission
pipeline, and are not expected to be in bitcode.

that release the retained object
This patch fixes what looks like a longstanding bug in ARC optimizer
where it reverses the order of objc_retain calls and objc_release calls
that retain and release the same object.
The code in ARC optimizer that is responsible for code motion takes the
following steps:
1. Traverse the CFG bottom-up and determine how far up objc_release
calls can be moved. Determine the insertion points for the
objc_release calls, but don't actually move them.
2. Traverse the CFG top-down and determine how far down objc_retain
calls can be moved. Determine the insertion points for the
objc_retain calls, but don't actually move them.
3. Try to move the objc_retain and objc_release calls if they can't be
removed.
The problem is that the insertion points for the objc_retain calls are
determined in step 2 without taking into consideration the insertion
points for objc_release calls determined in step 1, so the order of an
objc_retain call and an objc_release call can be reversed, which is
incorrect, even though each step is correct in isolation.
To fix this bug, this patch teaches the top-down traversal step to take
into consideration the insertion points for objc_release calls
determined in the bottom-up traversal step. Code motion for an
objc_retain call is disabled if there is a possibility that it can be
moved past an objc_release call that releases the retained object.

What this patch does to fix the problem:
- The front-end adds operand bundle "clang.arc.attachedcall" to calls,
which indicates the call is implicitly followed by a marker
instruction and an implicit retainRV/claimRV call that consumes the
call result. In addition, it emits a call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use, which consumes the call result, to
prevent the middle-end passes from changing the return type of the
called function. This is currently done only when the target is arm64
and the optimization level is higher than -O0.
- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the calls
with the operand bundle in the IR and removes the inserted calls after
processing the function.
- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the call with the
operand bundle. It doesn't remove the operand bundle on the call since
the backend needs it to emit the marker instruction. The retainRV and
claimRV calls are emitted late in the pipeline to prevent optimization
passes from transforming the IR in a way that makes it harder for the
ARC middle-end passes to figure out the def-use relationship between
the call and the retainRV/claimRV calls (which is the cause of
PR31925).
- The function inliner removes an autoreleaseRV call in the callee if
nothing in the callee prevents it from being paired up with the
retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. It then inserts a release call if
claimRV is attached to the call since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is
equivalent to a release. If it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it
tries to transfer the operand bundle to a function call in the callee.
This is important since the ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV
returning the callee result, which makes it impossible to pair it up
with the retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply
emits a retain call in the IR if retainRV is attached to the call and
does nothing if claimRV is attached to it.
- SCCP refrains from replacing the return value of a call with a
constant value if the call has the operand bundle. This ensures the
call always has at least one user (the call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use).
- This patch also fixes a bug in replaceUsesOfNonProtoConstant where
multiple operand bundles of the same kind were being added to a call.

- Fix the auto upgrader to convert call+retainRV/claimRV pairs into

What this patch does to fix the problem:
- The front-end annotates calls with attribute "clang.arc.rv"="retain"
or "clang.arc.rv"="claim", which indicates the call is implicitly
followed by a marker instruction and a retainRV/claimRV call that
consumes the call result. This is currently done only when the target

- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the

- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the annotated

- The function inliner removes the autoreleaseRV call in the callee that
returns the result if nothing in the callee prevents it from being
paired up with the calls annotated with "clang.arc.rv"="retain/claim"
in the caller. If the call is annotated with "claim", a release call
is inserted since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is equivalent to a release. If
it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it tries to transfer the
attributes to a function call in the callee. This is important since
ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV call returning the callee
result, which makes it impossible to pair it up with the retainRV or
claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply emits a retain
call in the IR if the call is annotated with "retain" and does nothing
if it's annotated with "claim".
- This patch teaches dead argument elimination pass not to change the
return type of a function if any of the calls to the function are
annotated with attribute "clang.arc.rv". This is necessary since the
pass can incorrectly determine nothing in the IR uses the function
return, which can happen since the front-end no longer explicitly
emits retainRV/claimRV calls in the IR, and change its return type to
'void'.

This patch is happy to skip over non-callable instructions and non-ARC
intrinsics looking for the pair. It is likely sound to also skip over
opaque function calls, but that's harder to reason about, and it's not
relevant to the goal here: if there's an opaque function call splitting
up a pair, it's very unlikely that a handshake would have happened
dynamically without inlining.
