This patch introduces four new string attributes: function-inline-cost,
function-inline-threshold, call-inline-cost and call-threshold-bonus.
These attributes allow you to selectively override some aspects of
InlineCost analysis. That would allow us to test inliner separately from
the InlineCost analysis.
That could be useful when you're trying to write tests for inliner and
you need to test some very specific situation, like "the inline cost has
to be this high", or "the threshold has to be this low". Right now every
time someone does that, they have get creative to come up with a way to
make the InlineCost give them the number they need (like adding ~30
load/add pairs for a trivial test). This process can be somewhat tedious
which can discourage some people from writing enough tests for their
changes. Also, that results in tests that are fragile and can be easily
broken without anyone noticing it because the test writer can't
explicitly control what input the inliner will get from the inline cost
analysis.
These new attributes will alleviate those problems to an extent.

Tests with multiple benchmarks, like Embench [1], showed that the
CallPenalty magic number has the most influence on inlining decisions
when optimizing for size.
On the other hand, there was no good default value for this parameter.
Some benchmarks profited strongly from a reduced call penalty. On
example is the picojpeg benchmark compiled for RISC-V, which got 6%
smaller with a CallPenalty of 10 instead of 12. Other benchmarks
increased in size, like matmult.
This commit makes the compromise of turning the magic number constant of
CallPenalty into a configurable value. This introduces the flag
`--inline-call-penalty`. With that flag users can fine tune the inliner
to their needs.
The CallPenalty constant was also used for loops. This commit replaces
the CallPenalty constant with a new LoopPenalty constant that is now
used instead.

In weird cases, the inliner will inline internal recursive functions,
sometimes causing them to have no more uses, in which case the
inliner will mark the function to be deleted. The function is
actually deleted after the call to
updateCGAndAnalysisManagerForCGSCCPass(). In
updateCGAndAnalysisManagerForCGSCCPass(), UR.UpdatedC may be set to
the SCC containing the function to be deleted. Then the inliner calls
CG.removeDeadFunction() which can cause that SCC to be deleted, even
though it's still stored in UR.UpdatedC.
We could potentially check in the wrappers/pass managers if UR.UpdatedC
is in UR.InvalidatedSCCs before doing anything with it, but it's safer
to do this as close to possible to the call to CG.removeDeadFunction()
to avoid issues with allocating a new SCC in the same address as
the deleted one.
It's hard to find a small test case since we need to have recursive
internal functions be reachable from non-internal functions, yet they
need to become non-recursive and not referenced by other functions when
inlined.

When adding noalias/alias.scope metadata, we analyze the instructions
of the original callee, and then place metadata on the corresponding
inlined instructions in the caller as provided by VMap. However, this
assumes that this actually a clone of the instruction, rather than
the result of simplification. If simplification occurred, the
instruction that VMap points to may not have any relationship as far
as ModRef behavior is concerned.
Fix this by tracking simplified instructions during cloning and then
only processing instructions that have not been simplified. This is
done with an additional map form original to cloned instruction,
into which we only insert if no simplification is performed. The
mapping in VMap can then be compared to this map. If they're the
same, the instruction hasn't been simplified. (I originally wanted
to only track a set of simplified instructions, but that wouldn't
work if the instruction only gets simplified afterwards, e.g. based
on rewritten phis.)

This patch also replaces all occurrances of 'simplify-cfg'

The noprofile function attribute is meant to prevent compiler

I added an assertion in D91816 (documenting behavior added in D93422)
that callers and callees with mismatched fn attr's related to stack
protectors should not occur unless the callee was attributed
always_inline.
This falls apart when a call, invoke, or callbr (any instruction
inheriting from CallBase) itself has an always_inline attribute. Clang
will emit such attributes on Instructions when __attribute__((flatten))
is used to recursively force inlining from a caller.
Since these assertions only had the caller and callee Functions, and not
the call site (CallBase derived classes), we would have to search the
caller for such instructions to reconstruct the call site information.
But at that point, inlining has already occurred; the call site has
already been removed from the caller.
Remove the assertions, add a unit test for always_inline call sites, and
update the LangRef.
Another curiosity is that the always_inline Attribute on Instructions is
only expanded by the inline pass, not the always_inline pass.

In 10b781fb033ee8d8a02e1050976b3832ad50542a this test was changed to use
the -debug-only flag, which means it now requires asserts aka a
non-release compiler.
There is already code in InlineCost.cpp to identify and ignore ephemeral
values (llvm.assume intrinsics and other side-effect free instructions
only feeding the assumes). However, because llvm.type.test intrinsics
were not marked speculatable, they and any instructions specifically
feeding the type test (typically a bitcast) were being counted towards
the instruction cost when inlining. This was causing profile matching
issues in some cases when enabling -fwhole-program-vtables for whole
program devirtualization.
According to the language reference, the speculatable attribute means:
"the function does not have any effects besides calculating its result
and does not have undefined behavior". I see no reason why type tests
cannot be marked with this attribute.
There are 2 test changes:
llvm/test/Transforms/Inline/ephemeral.ll: I added a type test intrinsic
here to verify the fix. Also, I found the test was not actually testing
what it originally intended. Many of the existing instructions were
optimized away by -Oz, and the cost of inlining was negative due to the
benefit of removing the call. So I changed the test to simply invoke the
inline pass and check the number of instructions computed by InlineCost.
I also fixed an instruction that was not actually used anywhere.
llvm/test/Transforms/SimplifyCFG/no-md-sink.ll needed to be made more
robust to code changes that reordered the metadata.

It will not do anything useful for them, as we already know that

In particular, this prevents noalias metadata from being placed

can be eliminated.
Have funcattrs expand all implied attributes into the IR. This expands the infrastructure from D100400, but for definitions not declarations this time.
Somewhat subtly, this mostly isn't semantic. Because the accessors did the inference, any client which used the accessor was already getting the stronger result. Clients that directly checked presence of attributes (there are some), will see a stronger result now.
The old behavior can end up quite confusing for two reasons:
* Without this change, we have situations where function-attrs appears to fail when inferring an attribute (as seen by a human reading IR), but that consuming code will see that it should have been implied. As a human trying to sanity check test results and study IR for optimization possibilities, this is exceeding error prone and confusing. (I'll note that I wasted several hours recently because of this.)
* We can have transforms which trigger without the IR appearing (on inspection) to meet the preconditions. This change doesn't prevent this from happening (as the accessors still involve multiple checks), but it should make it less frequent.
I'd argue in favor of deleting the extra checks out of the accessors after this lands, but I want that in it's own review as a) it's purely stylistic, and b) I already know there's some disagreement.
Once this lands, I'm also going to do a cleanup change which will delete some now redundant duplicate predicates in the inference code, but again, that deserves to be a change of it's own.

which indicates the call is implicitly followed by a marker
instruction and an implicit retainRV/claimRV call that consumes the
call result. In addition, it emits a call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use, which consumes the call result, to
prevent the middle-end passes from changing the return type of the
called function. This is currently done only when the target is arm64
and the optimization level is higher than -O0.
- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the calls
with the operand bundle in the IR and removes the inserted calls after
processing the function.
- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the call with the
operand bundle. It doesn't remove the operand bundle on the call since
the backend needs it to emit the marker instruction. The retainRV and
claimRV calls are emitted late in the pipeline to prevent optimization
passes from transforming the IR in a way that makes it harder for the
ARC middle-end passes to figure out the def-use relationship between
the call and the retainRV/claimRV calls (which is the cause of
PR31925).
- The function inliner removes an autoreleaseRV call in the callee if
nothing in the callee prevents it from being paired up with the
retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. It then inserts a release call if
claimRV is attached to the call since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is
equivalent to a release. If it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it
tries to transfer the operand bundle to a function call in the callee.
This is important since the ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV
returning the callee result, which makes it impossible to pair it up
with the retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply
emits a retain call in the IR if retainRV is attached to the call and
does nothing if claimRV is attached to it.
- SCCP refrains from replacing the return value of a call with a
constant value if the call has the operand bundle. This ensures the
call always has at least one user (the call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use).
- This patch also fixes a bug in replaceUsesOfNonProtoConstant where
multiple operand bundles of the same kind were being added to a call.
Future work:
- Use the operand bundle on x86-64.
- Fix the auto upgrader to convert call+retainRV/claimRV pairs into

emits a retain call in the IR if the implicit call is a call to
retainRV and does nothing if it's a call to claimRV.
Future work:
- Use the operand bundle on x86-64.
- Fix the auto upgrader to convert call+retainRV/claimRV pairs into
calls annotated with the operand bundles.
