This patch canonicalizes getelementptr instructions with constant
indices to use the `i8` source element type. This makes it easier for
optimizations to recognize that two GEPs are identical, because they
don't need to see past many different ways to express the same offset.
This is a first step towards
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-replacing-getelementptr-with-ptradd/68699.
This is limited to constant GEPs only for now, as they have a clear
canonical form, while we're not yet sure how exactly to deal with
variable indices.
The test llvm/test/Transforms/PhaseOrdering/switch_with_geps.ll gives
two representative examples of the kind of optimization improvement we
expect from this change. In the first test SimplifyCFG can now realize
that all switch branches are actually the same. In the second test it
can convert it into simple arithmetic. These are representative of
common optimization failures we see in Rust.
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/69841.
Vectors are always bit-packed and don't respect the elements' alignment
requirements. This is different from arrays. This means offsets of
vector GEPs need to be computed differently than offsets of array GEPs.
This PR fixes many places that rely on an incorrect pattern
that always relies on `DL.getTypeAllocSize(GTI.getIndexedType())`.
We replace these by usages of `GTI.getSequentialElementStride(DL)`,
which is a new helper function added in this PR.
This changes behavior for GEPs into vectors with element types for which
the (bit) size and alloc size is different. This includes two cases:
* Types with a bit size that is not a multiple of a byte, e.g. i1.
GEPs into such vectors are questionable to begin with, as some elements
are not even addressable.
* Overaligned types, e.g. i16 with 32-bit alignment.
Existing tests are unaffected, but a miscompilation of a new test is fixed.

canonicalizes `(gep i8, X, (ptrtoint Y) - (ptrtoint X))` into `bitcast
Y` iff `X` and `Y` have the same underlying object.
I find that the result of this pattern is usually used as an operand of
an icmp in some real-world applications. I think we can do the
canonicalization if the result is only used by icmps/ptrtoints.

As this pattern has been handled by the backends, the motivation of this
patch is to reduce the ref count of sdiv, which will enable more
optimizations.
Following up on #71565, this makes scalable splats in EmitGEPOffset use
the ElementCount as opposed to assuming it is fixed width, and attempts
to handle scalable offsets with vector geps by splatting the vscale to
each vector lane.
Instruction after a non-terminator unreachable are ... unreachable,
so remove them. Reuse the same logic we use for removing
instructions from dead blocks.
This patch reverts rGae739aefd7473517d3f08b5c8d08a66c7f469198 to address performance regressions reported by our [CI](https://github.com/dtcxzyw/llvm-ci/issues/137) after rG2ec1d0f427c7822540352c0c14d057e7bfe4f77b.
For example:
```
define ptr @const_gep_chain(ptr %p, i64 %a) {
%p1 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %p, i64 %a
%p2 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %p1, i64 1
%p3 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %p2, i64 2
%p4 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %p3, i64 3
ret ptr %p4
}
```
The last three GEPs will not be folded since rG2ec1d0f427c7822540352c0c14d057e7bfe4f77b.
I think it is appropriate to remove this code because there is no compile-time regression reported in our benchmarks.

Previously all indices into [0 x T] arrays were considered in
range, which resulted in us incorrectly inferring inbounds for
all GEPs of that form. We should not consider them in range here,
and instead bail out of the rewriting logic (which would divide
by zero).
Do continue to consider 0 always in range, to avoid changing
behavior for zero-index GEPs.
When inferring that a GEP of a global variable is inbounds because
there is no notional overindexing, we need to check that the
global value type and the GEP source element type match.
This was not necessary with typed pointers (because we would have
a bitcast in between), but is necessary with opaque pointers.
We should be able to recover some of the safe cases by performing
an offset based inbounds inference in DL-aware ConstantFolding.
These involved regenerating test checks. There are two significant
differences here:
1. With typed pointers we sometimes swapped gep and addrspacecast,
as a side-effect of other transforms. However, the current
direction is likely undesirable, and we should canonicalize in
the reverse direction instead (gep of ac, instead of ac of gep).
This should be done after typed pointers are removed, to avoid
conflicting transforms.
2. The "descaling" optimization isn't really compatible with
opaque pointers. This will be addressed longer-term by moving
away from type-based GEP, at which point the form with explicit
multiplications will be the canonical one.
This reverts commit 66cea84681e16f3d4ebdc69031824b114a0d5681.
I did not intend to commit all the changes in here, but only the
ones with no significant differences.
As my goal is to remove at least _some_ functions from the static list
in MemoryBuiltins.cpp, these tests either need to run inferattrs or
statically declare these attributes to keep passing. A couple of tests
had alternate cases which are no longer meaningful, e.g.
`malloc-load-removal.ll`.

Bitcasts were stripped in one case, but not the other. Of course,
this no longer really matters with opaque pointers, but as I went
through the trouble of tracking this down, we may as well remove
one typed vs opaque pointer optimization discrepancy.
We need to also check that the source element type is the same,
otherwise the indices may have different meaning. The added
addrspacecast demonstrates that we do still need to check the
pointer type.
The basic idea to this is that a) having a single canonical type makes CSE easier, and b) many of our transforms are inconsistent about which types we end up with based on visit order.
I'm restricting this to constants as for non-constants, we'd have to decide whether the simplicity was worth extra instructions. For constants, there are no extra instructions.
We chose the canonical type as i64 arbitrarily. We might consider changing this to something else in the future if we have cause.

This is a follow-on suggested in D112634.
Two folds that were added with that patch are subsumed in the call to
decomposeBitTestICmp, and two other folds are potentially inverted.
The deleted folds were very specialized by instcombine standards
because they were restricted to legal integer types based on the data
layout. This generalizes the canonical form independent of target/types.
This change has a reasonable chance of exposing regressions either in
IR or codegen, but I don't have any evidence for either of those yet.
A spot check of asm across several in-tree targets shows variations
that I expect are mostly neutral.
We have one improvement in an existing IR test that I noted with a
comment. Using mask ops might also make more code match with D114272.

The update script ( utils/update_test_checks.py ) warns against this

anonymous values in the IR.
Currently the max alignment representable is 1GB, see D108661.
Setting the align of an object to 4GB is desirable in some cases to make sure the lower 32 bits are clear which can be used for some optimizations, e.g. https://crbug.com/1016945.
This uses an extra bit in instructions that carry an alignment. We can store 15 bits of "free" information, and with this change some instructions (e.g. AtomicCmpXchgInst) use 14 bits.
We can increase the max alignment representable above 4GB (up to 2^62) since we're only using 33 of the 64 values, but I've just limited it to 4GB for now.
The one place we have to update the bitcode format is for the alloca instruction. It stores its alignment into 5 bits of a 32 bit bitfield. I've added another field which is 8 bits and should be future proof for a while. For backward compatibility, we check if the old field has a value and use that, otherwise use the new field.
Updating clang's max allowed alignment will come in a future patch.

We implement logic to convert a byte offset into a sequence of GEP
indices for that offset in a number of places. This patch adds a
DataLayout::getGEPIndicesForOffset() method, which implements the
core logic. I've updated SROA, ConstantFolding and InstCombine to
use it, and there's a few more places where it looks relevant.

In LLVM IR, `AlignmentBitfieldElementT` is 5-bit wide
But that means that the maximal alignment exponent is `(1<<5)-2`,
which is `30`, not `29`. And indeed, alignment of `1073741824`
roundtrips IR serialization-deserialization.
While this doesn't seem all that important, this doubles
the maximal supported alignment from 512MiB to 1GiB,
and there's actually one noticeable use-case for that;
On X86, the huge pages can have sizes of 2MiB and 1GiB (!).
So while this doesn't add support for truly huge alignments,
which i think we can easily-ish do if wanted, i think this adds
zero-cost support for a not-trivially-dismissable case.
I don't believe we need any upgrade infrastructure,
and since we don't explicitly record the IR version,
we don't need to bump one either.
As @craig.topper speculates in D108661#2963519,
this might be an artificial limit imposed by the original implementation
of the `getAlignment()` functions.

Reverted (manually due to merge conflicts) while regressions reported on PR51540 are investigated
As noticed on D106352, after we've folded "(select C, (gep Ptr, Idx), Ptr) -> (gep Ptr, (select C, Idx, 0))" if the inner Ptr was also a (now one use) gep we could then merge the geps, using the sum of the indices instead.
I've limited this to basic 2-op geps - a more general case further down InstCombinerImpl.visitGetElementPtrInst doesn't have the one-use limitation but only creates the add if it can be created via SimplifyAddInst.

This adds more poison folding optimizations to InstSimplify.
Since all binary operators propagate poison, these are fine.
Also, the precondition of `select cond, undef, x` -> `x` is relaxed to allow the case when `x` is undef.

It's just a wrong thing to do.
We introduce inttoptr where there were none, which results in
loosing all provenance information because we no longer have a GEP{i,},
and pessimize all future optimizations,
because we are basically not allowed to look past `inttoptr`.
(gep i8* X, -(ptrtoint Y)) *is* the canonical form.
So just drop this fold.
Noticed while reviewing D98120.
