Prior to this patch, the MemorySSA caching visitor would cache all
calls that it visited. When paired with phi optimization, this can be
problematic. Consider:
define void @foo() {
; 1 = MemoryDef(liveOnEntry)
call void @clobberFunction()
br i1 undef, label %if.end, label %if.then
if.then:
; MemoryUse(??)
call void @readOnlyFunction()
; 2 = MemoryDef(1)
call void @clobberFunction()
br label %if.end
if.end:
; 3 = MemoryPhi(...)
; MemoryUse(?)
call void @readOnlyFunction()
ret void
}
When optimizing MemoryUse(?), we visit defs 1 and 2, so we note to
cache them later. We ultimately end up not being able to optimize
passed the Phi, so we set MemoryUse(?) to point to the Phi. We then
cache the clobbering call for def 1 to be the Phi.
This commit changes this behavior so that we wipe out any calls
added to VisistedCalls while visiting the defs of a phi we couldn't
optimize.
Aside: With this patch, we now can bootstrap clang/LLVM without a
single MemorySSA verifier failure. Woohoo. :)

This patch teaches the caching MemorySSA walker a few things:
1. Not to walk Phis we've walked before. It seems that we tried to do
this before, but it didn't work so well in cases like:
define void @foo() {
%1 = alloca i8
%2 = alloca i8
br label %begin
begin:
; 3 = MemoryPhi({%0,liveOnEntry},{%end,2})
; 1 = MemoryDef(3)
store i8 0, i8* %2
br label %end
end:
; MemoryUse(?)
load i8, i8* %1
; 2 = MemoryDef(1)
store i8 0, i8* %2
br label %begin
}
Because we wouldn't put Phis in Q.Visited until we tried to visit them.
So, when trying to optimize MemoryUse(?):
- We would visit 3 above
- ...Which would make us put {%0,liveOnEntry} in Q.Visited
- ...Which would make us visit {%0,liveOnEntry}
- ...Which would make us put {%end,2} in Q.Visited
- ...Which would make us visit {%end,2}
- ...Which would make us visit 3
- ...Which would realize we've already visited everything in 3
- ...Which would make us conservatively return 3.
In the added test-case, (@looped_visitedonlyonce) this behavior would
cause us to give incorrect results. Specifically, we'd visit 4 twice
in the same query, but on the second visit, we'd skip while.cond because
it had been visited, visit if.then/if.then2, and cache "1" as the
clobbering def on the way back.
2. If we try to walk the defs of a {Phi,MemLoc} and see it has been
visited before, just hand back the Phi we're trying to optimize.
I promise this isn't as terrible as it seems. :)
We now insert {Phi,MemLoc} pairs just before walking the Phi's upward
defs. So, we check the cache for the {Phi,MemLoc} pair before checking
if we've already walked the Phi.
The {Phi,MemLoc} pair is (almost?) always guaranteed to have a cache
entry if we've already fully walked it, because we cache as we go.
So, if the {Phi,MemLoc} pair isn't in cache, either:
(a) we must be in the process of visiting it (in which case, we can't
give a better answer in a cache-as-we-go DFS walker)
(b) we visited it, but didn't cache it on the way back (...which seems
to require `ModifyingAccess` to not dominate `StartingAccess`,
so I'm 99% sure that would be an error. If it's not an error, I
haven't been able to get it to happen locally, so I suspect it's
rare.)
- - - - -
As a consequence of this change, we no longer skip upward defs of phis,
so we can kill the `VisitedOnlyOne` check. This gives us better accuracy
than we had before, at the cost of potentially doing a bit more work
when we have a loop.

There are a few bugs in the walker that this patch addresses.
Primarily:
- Caching can break when we have multiple BBs without phis
- We weren't optimizing some phis properly
- Because of how the DFS iterator works, there were times where we
wouldn't cache any results of our DFS
I left the test cases with FIXMEs in, because I'm not sure how much
effort it will take to get those to work (read: We'll probably
ultimately have to end up redoing the walker, or we'll have to come up
with some creative caching tricks), and more test coverage = better.

If we have a BB with only MemoryDefs, live-in calculations will ignore
it. This means we get results like this:
define void @foo(i8* %p) {
; 1 = MemoryDef(liveOnEntry)
store i8 0, i8* %p
br i1 undef, label %if.then, label %if.end
if.then:
; 2 = MemoryDef(1)
store i8 1, i8* %p
br label %if.end
if.end:
; 3 = MemoryDef(1)
store i8 2, i8* %p
ret void
}
...When there should be a MemoryPhi in the `if.end` BB.
This patch fixes that behavior.

Summary:
This adds the beginning of an update API to preserve MemorySSA. In particular,
this patch adds a way to remove memory SSA accesses when instructions are
deleted.
It also adds relevant unit testing infrastructure for MemorySSA's API.
(There is an actual user of this API, i will make that diff dependent on this one. In practice, a ton of opt passes remove memory instructions, so it's hopefully an obviously useful API :P)
