visit will skip visiting instructions it already has visited
to avoid issues with cycles in the data graph. However,
the result of this skipping behavior is that if we
encounter the same instruction twice, and that instruction
has a well defined result and isn't part of a cycle, we
will introduce unknowns into the analysis even though we
knew the size and offset of the instruction's result.
Instead of skipping such instructions, keep a cache of
the result of visiting them. This result is initialized
to unknown() before visiting, so if we happen to visit
it again recursively (perhaps as the result of a cycle
or a phi), we will get unknown as the cached result and
exit out.
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`.

It actually implements support for seeing through loads, using alias analysis to
refine the result.
This is rather limited, but I didn't want to rely on more than available
analysis at that point (to be gentle with compilation time), and it does seem to
catch common scenario, as showcased by the included tests.

The implementation is just a generalization of the Select handler.
We're no trying to be smart and compute any kind of fixed point.

The way the pass is actually used in the optimization pipeline,
TLI will be available, but this is not the case when running just
-lower-constant-intrinsics in tests, which ends up being quite
confusing.
Require TLI unconditionally, as we usually do.
This fixes PR51730, a heap-use-after-free bug in
replaceConditionalBranchesOnConstant().
With the attached reproducer we were left with a function looking
something like this after replaceAndRecursivelySimplify():
[...]
cont2.i:
br i1 %.not1.i, label %handler.type_mismatch3.i, label %cont4.i
handler.type_mismatch3.i:
%3 = phi i1 [ %2, %cont2.thread.i ], [ false, %cont2.i ]
unreachable
cont4.i:
unreachable
[...]
with both the branch instruction and PHI node being in the worklist. As
a result of replacing the branch instruction with an unconditional
branch, the PHI node in %handler.type_mismatch3.i would be removed. This
then resulted in a heap-use-after-free bug due to accessing that removed
PHI node in the next worklist iteration.
This is solved by using a value handle worklist. I am a unsure if this
is the most idiomatic solution. Another solution could have been to
produce a worklist just containing the interesting branch instructions,
but I thought that it perhaps was a bit cleaner to keep all worklist
filtering in the loop that does the rewrites.

GlobalVariables are Constants, yet should not unconditionally be
considered true for __builtin_constant_p.
Via the LangRef
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-is-constant-intrinsic:
This intrinsic generates no code. If its argument is known to be a
manifest compile-time constant value, then the intrinsic will be
converted to a constant true value. Otherwise, it will be converted
to a constant false value.
In particular, note that if the argument is a constant expression
which refers to a global (the address of which _is_ a constant, but
not manifest during the compile), then the intrinsic evaluates to
false.
Move isManifestConstant from ConstantFolding to be a method of
Constant so that we can reuse the same logic in
LowerConstantIntrinsics.

This allows tracking the in-memory type of a pointer argument to a
function for ABI purposes. This is essentially a stripped down version
of byval to remove some of the stack-copy implications in its
definition.
This includes the base IR changes, and some tests for places where it
should be treated similarly to byval. Codegen support will be in a
future patch.
My original attempt at solving some of these problems was to repurpose
byval with a different address space from the stack. However, it is
technically permitted for the callee to introduce a write to the
argument, although nothing does this in reality. There is also talk of
removing and replacing the byval attribute, so a new attribute would
need to take its place anyway.
This is intended avoid some optimization issues with the current
handling of aggregate arguments, as well as fixes inflexibilty in how
frontends can specify the kernel ABI. The most honest representation
of the amdgpu_kernel convention is to expose all kernel arguments as
loads from constant memory. Today, these are raw, SSA Argument values
and codegen is responsible for turning these into loads.
Background:
There currently isn't a satisfactory way to represent how arguments
for the amdgpu_kernel calling convention are passed. In reality,
arguments are passed in a single, flat, constant memory buffer
implicitly passed to the function. It is also illegal to call this
function in the IR, and this is only ever invoked by a driver of some
kind.
It does not make sense to have a stack passed parameter in this
context as is implied by byval. It is never valid to write to the
kernel arguments, as this would corrupt the inputs seen by other
dispatches of the kernel. These argumets are also not in the same
address space as the stack, so a copy is needed to an alloca. From a
source C-like language, the kernel parameters are invisible.
Semantically, a copy is always required from the constant argument
memory to a mutable variable.
The current clang calling convention lowering emits raw values,
including aggregates into the function argument list, since using
byval would not make sense. This has some unfortunate consequences for
the optimizer. In the aggregate case, we end up with an aggregate
store to alloca, which both SROA and instcombine turn into a store of
each aggregate field. The optimizer never pieces this back together to
see that this is really just a copy from constant memory, so we end up
stuck with expensive stack usage.
This also means the backend dictates the alignment of arguments, and
arbitrarily picks the LLVM IR ABI type alignment. By allowing an
explicit alignment, frontends can make better decisions. For example,
there's real no advantage to an aligment higher than 4, so a frontend
could choose to compact the argument layout. Similarly, there is a
high penalty to using an alignment lower than 4, so a frontend could
opt into more padding for small arguments.
Another design consideration is when it is appropriate to expose the
fact that these arguments are all really passed in adjacent
memory. Currently we have a late IR optimization pass in codegen to
rewrite the kernel argument values into explicit loads to enable
vectorization. In most programs, unrelated argument loads can be
merged together. However, exposing this property directly from the
frontend has some disadvantages. We still need a way to track the
original argument sizes and alignments to report to the driver. I find
using some side-channel, metadata mechanism to track this
unappealing. If the kernel arguments were exposed as a single buffer
to begin with, alias analysis would be unaware that the padding bits
betewen arguments are meaningless. Another family of problems is there
are still some gaps in replacing all of the available parameter
attributes with metadata equivalents once lowered to loads.
The immediate plan is to start using this new attribute to handle all
aggregate argumets for kernels. Long term, it makes sense to migrate
all kernel arguments, including scalars, to be passed indirectly in
the same manner.

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.
