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.
We had two AAs for reachability but it was very cumbersome to extend
them. We also had some fallback to use LLVM-core mechanisms and cache
the result. The new design shares the query code and interface nicely
between AAIntraFnReachability and AAInterFnReachability.
As part of the rewrite we also added the ExclusionSet to the queries.
Now that the legacy PM is no longer tested, the huge matrix of
test prefixes used by attributor tests is no longer needed and very
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
change has been required because checks has been duplicated for
both PMs.

If we have a dominating must-write access we do not need to know the
initial value of some object to perform reasoning about the potential
values. The dominating must-write has overwritten the initial value.
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.

D106720 introduced features that did not work properly as we could add
new queries after a fixpoint was reached and which could not be answered
by the information gathered up to the fixpoint alone.
As an alternative to D110078, which forced eager computation where we
want to continue to be lazy, this patch fixes the problem.
QueryAAs are AAs that allow lazy queries during their lifetime. They are
never fixed if they have no outstanding dependences and always run as
part of the updates in an iteration. To determine if we are done, all
query AAs are asked if they received new queries, if not, we only need
to consider updated AAs, as before. If new queries are present we go for
another iteration.

genericValueTraversal can look through arguments and allow value
simplification across function boundaries. In fact, the latter already
happened unchecked. With this change we allow the user of
genericValueTraversal to opt-out of interprocedural traversal if
required. We explicitly look through arguments now which helps to do
various things, incl. the propagation of constants into OpenMP parallel
regions (on the host).
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.
D106185 allows us to determine if a store is needed easily. Using that
knowledge we can start to delete dead stores.
In AAIsDead we now track more state as an instruction can be dead (= the
old optimisitc state) or just "removable". A store instruction can be
removable while being very much alive, e.g., if it stores a constant
into an alloca or internal global. If we would pretend it was dead
instead of only removablewe we would ignore it when we determine what
values a load can see, so that is not what we want.

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.

As a first step to simplify loads we only handle `null` and `undef`

This commit cleans up the ::initialize method of various AAs in the
following ways:
- If an associated function is required, give up on declarations.
This was discovered as a real problem when lots of llvm.dbg.XXX
call sites were assumed `noreturn` until proven otherwise. That
does not make any sense and caused huge regressions and missed
deductions.
- Require more associated declarations for function interface AAs.
- Use the IRAttribute::initialize to determine if function interface
AAs can be used in IPO, don't replicate the checks (especially
isFunctionIPOAmendable) all over the place. Arguably the function
declaration check should be moved to some central place to.

We should never give up on AAIsDead as it guards other AAs from
unreachable code (in which SSA properties are meaningless). We did
however use required dependences on some queries in AAIsDead which
caused us to invalidate AAIsDead if the queried AA got invalidated.
We now use optional dependences instead. The bug that exposed this is
added to the liveness.ll test and other test changes show the impact.
Bug report by @sdmitriev.
During an update of AAIsDead, new instructions become live. If we query
information from them, the result is often just the initial state, e.g.,
for call site `noreturn` and `nounwind`. We will now trigger an update
for cached attributes during the AAIsDead update, though other AAs might
later use the same API.
In a recent patch we introduced a problem with abstract attributes that
were assumed dead at some point. Since `Attributor::updateAA` was
introduced in 95e0d28b71e42c9b7cd77c96f728311981a021f6, we did not
remember the dependence on the liveness AA when an abstract attribute
was assumed dead and therefore not updated.
Explicit reproducer added in liveness.ll.

When the Attributor was created the test update scripts were not well
suited to deal with the challenges of IR attribute checking. This
partially improved.
Since then we also added three additional configurations that need
testing; in total we now have the following four:
{ TUNIT, CGSCC } x { old pass manager (OPM), new pass manager (NPM) }
Finally, the number of developers and tests grew rapidly (partially due
to the addition of ArgumentPromotion and IPConstantProp tests), which
resulted in tests only being run in some configurations, different
prefixes being used, and different "styles" of checks being used.
Due to the above reasons I believed we needed to take another look at
the test update scripts. While we started to use them, via UTC_ARGS:
--enable/disable, the other problems remained. To improve the testing
situation for *all* configurations, to simplify future updates to the
test, and to help identify subtle effects of future changes, we now use
the test update scripts for (almost) all Attributor tests.
An exhaustive prefix list minimizes the number of check lines and makes
it easy to identify and compare configurations.
Tests have been adjusted in the process but we tried to keep their
intend unchanged.
