This is a separate, but related issue to #69152 that was attempting to improve
AA with scalable dependency distances. This patch attempts to improve when
there are scalable accesses with a constant offset between them. We happen to
get a report of such a thing recently, where so long as the vscale_range is
known, the maximum size of the access can be assessed and better aliasing
results can be returned.
The Upper range of the vscale_range, along with known part of the typesize are
used to prove that Off >= CR.upper * LSize. It does not try to produce
PartialAlias results at the moment from the lower vscale_range. It also enables
the added benefit of allowing better alias analysis when the RHS of the two
values is scalable, but the LHS is normal and can be treated like any other
aliasing query.
This changes the AliasSetTracker to track memory locations instead of
pointers in its alias sets. The motivation for this is outlined in an RFC
posted on LLVM discourse:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-dont-merge-memory-locations-in-aliassettracker/73336
In the data structures of the AST implementation, I made the choice to
replace the linked list of `PointerRec` entries (that had to go anyway)
with a simple flat vector of `MemoryLocation` objects, but for the
`AliasSet` objects referenced from a lookup table, I retained the
mechanism of a linked list, reference counting, forwarding, etc. The
data structures could be revised in a follow-up change.
This is the first of a series of patch to improve Alias Analysis on
Scalable quantities.
Keep Scalable information from TypeSize which
will be used in Alias Analysis.
Over the past day or so, i've took a large swing at our tests,
and reduced the number of tests that were still using the old syntax
from ~1800 to just 200.
Left to handle: (as it is seen in this patch)
* Transforms/LSR
* Transforms/CGP
* Transforms/TypePromotion
* Transforms/HardwareLoops
* Analysis/*
* some misc.
I think this is the right point to start actively refusing
to honor the old syntax, except for the old tests,
to prevent the old syntax from creeping back in.
Thus, let's add temporary default-off flag,
and if it is not passed refuse to accept old syntax.
The tests that still need porting are annotated with this flag.

Just like llvm.assume, there are a lot of cases where we can just ignore llvm.experimental.noalias.scope.decl.

Currently, we have some confusion in the codebase regarding the
meaning of LocationSize::unknown(): Some parts (including most of
BasicAA) assume that LocationSize::unknown() only allows accesses
after the base pointer. Some parts (various callers of AA) assume
that LocationSize::unknown() allows accesses both before and after
the base pointer (but within the underlying object).
This patch splits up LocationSize::unknown() into
LocationSize::afterPointer() and LocationSize::beforeOrAfterPointer()
to make this completely unambiguous. I tried my best to determine
which one is appropriate for all the existing uses.
The test changes in cs-cs.ll in particular illustrate a previously
clearly incorrect AA result: We were effectively assuming that
argmemonly functions were only allowed to access their arguments
after the passed pointer, but not before it. I'm pretty sure that
this was not intentional, and it's certainly not specified by
LangRef that way.

Really it should be named print<alias-sets>, but for the sake of
changing fewer tests, added a TODO to rename after NPM switch and test
cleanup.

As mentioned in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-July/143395.html,
loop-unswitch has not been ported to the NPM. Instead people are using
simple-loop-unswitch.
Pin all tests in Transforms/LoopUnswitch to legacy PM and replace all
other uses of loop-unswitch with simple-loop-unswitch.
One test that didn't fit into the above was
2014-06-21-congruent-constant.ll which seems to only pass with
loop-unswitch. That is also pinned to legacy PM.
Now all tests containing "-loop-unswitch" anywhere in the test succeed with
NPM turned on by default.

This is the third patch in a series intended to make
https://reviews.llvm.org/D44748 more easily reviewable. Please see that
patch for more context. The second being r344013.
The intent is to make the output of printing a LocationSize more
precise. The main motivation for this is that we plan to add a bit to
distinguish whether a given LocationSize is an upper-bound or is
precise; making that information available in pretty-printing is nice.

The only point to this change is the test diffs. When I remove this code entirely (in favor of the recently added generic handling), I don't want there to be any confusion due to spurious test diffs.
As an aside, the fact out tests are AST construction order dependent is not great. I thought about fixing that, but the reasonable schemes I might want (e.g. sort by name) need the test diffs anyways.

AliasSetTracker has special case handling for memset, memcpy and memmove which pre-existed argmemonly on functions and readonly and writeonly on arguments. This patch generalizes it using the AA infrastructure to any call correctly annotated.
The motivation here is to cut down on confusion, not performance per se. For most instructions, there is a direct mapping to alias set. However, this is not guaranteed by the interface and was not in fact true for these three intrinsics *and only these three intrinsics*. I kept getting myself confused about this invariant, so I figured it would be good to clearly distinguish between a instructions and alias sets. Calls happened to be an easy target.
The nice side effect is that custom implementations of memset/memcpy/memmove - including wrappers discovered by IPO - can now be optimized the same as builts by LICM.
Note: The actual removal of the memset/memtransfer specific handling will happen in a follow on NFC patch. It was originally part of this one, but separate for ease of review and rebase.

Volatility is not an aliasing property. We used to model volatile as if it had extremely conservative aliasing implications, but that hasn't been true for several years now. So, it doesn't make sense to be in AliasSet.
It also turns out the code is entirely a noop. Outside of the AST code to update it, there was only one user: load store promotion in LICM. L/S promotion doesn't need the check since it walks all the users of the address anyway. It already checks each load or store via !isUnordered which causes us to bail for volatile accesses. (Look at the lines immediately following the two remove asserts.)
There is the possibility of some small compile time impact here, but the only case which will get noticeably slower is a loop with a large number of loads and stores to the same address where only the last one we inspect is volatile. This is sufficiently rare it's not worth optimizing for..

The `experimental_guard` intrinsic has memory write semantics to model the thread-exiting
logic, but does not do any actual writes to memory. Currently, `AliasSetTracker` treats it as a
normal memory write. As result, a loop-invariant load cannot be hoisted out of loop because
the guard may possibly alias with it.
This patch makes `AliasSetTracker` so that it doesn't treat guards as memory writes.

In cases where an instruction (a call site, say) is RAUW'ed with some
other value (this is possible via the `returned` attribute, for
instance), we want the slot in UnknownInsts to point to the original
Instruction we wanted to track, not the value it got replaced by.
Fixes PR32587.

This reverts commit r285191.
LICM appears to rely on the Alias Set Tracker hitting lifetime markers to prevent
code from being moved outside of the original scope.

Repeated inserts into AliasSetTracker have quadratic behavior - inserting a
pointer into AST is linear, since it requires walking over all "may" alias
sets and running an alias check vs. every pointer in the set.
We can avoid this by tracking the total number of pointers in "may" sets,
and when that number exceeds a threshold, declare the tracker "saturated".
This lumps all pointers into a single "may" set that aliases every other
pointer.
(This is a stop-gap solution until we migrate to MemorySSA)
This fixes PR28832.
