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.
This is a fix for https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39282. Compared to D90104, this version is based on part of the full restrict patched (D68484) and uses the `@llvm.experimental.noalias.scope.decl` intrinsic to track the location where !noalias and !alias.scope scopes have been introduced. This allows us to only duplicate the scopes that are really needed.
Notes:
- it also includes changes and tests from D90104

Insert a llvm.experimental.noalias.scope.decl intrinsic that identifies where a noalias argument was inlined.

We tend to assume that the AA pipeline is by default the default AA
pipeline and it's confusing when it's empty instead.

Initially reverted due to BasicAA running analyses in an unspecified
order (multiple function calls as parameters), fixed by fetching
analyses before the call to construct BasicAA.

While the actually incorrect transform happens in LoopUnroll, it
is based on noalias metadata inserted by the inliner, and
ultimately manifests in GVN. Add a phase ordering test that checks
this even if our representation of noalias metadata changes in
the future.
