0f978ea459 Handle calls and invokes in GlobalStatus.
This patch teaches GlobalStatus to analyze a call that uses the global value as
a callee, not as an argument.

With this change internalize call handle the common use of linkonce_odr
functions. This reduces the number of linkonce_odr functions in a LTO build of
clang (checked with the emit-llvm gold plugin option) from 1730 to 60.

713cab059e Optimize more linkonce_odr values during LTO.
When a linkonce_odr value that is on the dso list is not unnamed_addr
we can still look to see if anything is actually using its address. If
not, it is safe to hide it.

This patch implements that by moving GlobalStatus to Transforms/Utils
and using it in Internalize.

3e033f2923 Don't eliminate a partially redundant load if it's in a landing pad.
A landing pad can be jumped to only by the unwind edge of an invoke
instruction. If we eliminate a partially redundant load in a landing pad, it
will create a basic block that violates this constraint. It then leads to other
problems down the line if it tries to merge that basic block with the landing
pad. Avoid this by not eliminating the load in a landing pad.

0b5fad68b2 Teach simplify-cfg how to correctly create covered lookup tables for switches on iN with N >= 3.
One optimization simplify-cfg performs is the converting of switches to
lookup tables if the switch has > 4 cases. This is done by:

1. Finding the max/min case value and calculating the switch case range.
2. Create a lookup table basic block.
3. Perform a check in the switch's BB to see if the input value is in
the switch's case range. If the input value satisfies said predicate
branch to the lookup table BB, otherwise branch to the switch's default
destination BB using the default value as the result.

The conditional check consists of subtracting the min case value of the
table from any input iN value and then ensuring that said value is
unsigned less than the size of the lookup table represented as an iN
value.

If the lookup table is a covered lookup table, the size of the table will be N
which is 0 as an iN value. Thus the comparison will be an `icmp ult` of an iN
value against 0 which is always false yielding the incorrect result.

This patch fixes this problem by recognizing if we have a covered lookup table
and if we do, unconditionally jumps to the lookup table BB since the covering
property of the lookup table implies no input values could not be handled by
said BB.

pad instruction.

fc3b7bbf49 UpdatePHINodes in BasicBlockUtils should not crash on duplicate predecessors
UpdatePHINodes has an optimization to reuse an existing PHI node, where it
first deletes all of its entries and then replaces them. Unfortunately, in the
case where we had duplicate predecessors (which are allowed so long as the
associated PHI entries have the same value), the loop removing the existing PHI
entries from the to-be-reused PHI would assert (if that PHI was not the one
which had the duplicates).

dd5d86d992 Remove the very substantial, largely unmaintained legacy PGO
infrastructure.

This was essentially work toward PGO based on a design that had several
flaws, partially dating from a time when LLVM had a different
architecture, and with an effort to modernize it abandoned without being
completed. Since then, it has bitrotted for several years further. The
result is nearly unusable, and isn't helping any of the modern PGO
efforts. Instead, it is getting in the way, adding confusion about PGO
in LLVM and distracting everyone with maintenance on essentially dead
code. Removing it paves the way for modern efforts around PGO.

Among other effects, this removes the last of the runtime libraries from
LLVM. Those are being developed in the separate 'compiler-rt' project
now, with somewhat different licensing specifically more approriate for
runtimes.

The work on this project was left in an unfinished and inconsistent state.
Hopefully someone will eventually get a chance to implement this feature, but
in the meantime, it is better to put things back the way the were.  I have
left support in the bitcode reader to handle the case-range bitcode format,
so that we do not lose bitcode compatibility with the llvm 3.3 release.

79663c1910 Fix a really terrifying but improbable bug in mem2reg. If you have seen
extremely subtle miscompilations (such as a load getting replaced with
the value stored *below* the load within a basic block) related to
promoting an alloca to an SSA value, there is the dim possibility that
you hit this. Please let me know if you won this unfortunate lottery.

The first half of mem2reg's core logic (as it is used both in the
standalone mem2reg pass and in SROA) builds up a mapping from
'Instruction *' to the index of that instruction within its basic block.
This allows quickly establishing which store dominate a particular load
even for large basic blocks. We cache this information throughout the
run of mem2reg over a function in order to amortize the cost of
computing it.

This is not in and of itself a strange pattern in LLVM. However, it
introduces a very important constraint: absolutely no instruction can be
deleted from the program without updating the mapping. Otherwise a newly
allocated instruction might get the same pointer address, and then end
up with a wrong index. Yes, LLVM routinely suffers from a *single
threaded* variant of the ABA problem. Most places in LLVM don't find
avoiding this an imposition because they don't both delete and create
new instructions iteratively, but mem2reg *loves* to do this... All the
time. Fortunately, the mem2reg code was really careful about updating
this cache to handle this eventuallity... except when it comes to the
debug declare intrinsic. Oops. The fix is to invalidate that pointer in
the cache when we delete it, the same as we do when deleting alloca
instructions and other instructions.

I've also caused the same bug in new code while working on a fix to
PR16867, so this seems to be a really unfortunate pattern. Hopefully in
subsequent patches the deletion of dead instructions can be consolidated
sufficiently to make it less likely that we'll see future occurences of
this bug.

Sorry for not having a test case, but I have literally no idea how to
reliably trigger this kind of thing. It may be single-threaded, but it
remains an ABA problem. It would require a really amazing number of
stars to align.

However, opt -O2 doesn't run mem2reg directly so nobody noticed until r188146

In order to revert r187191, I also revert dependent revisions r187296, r187322
and r188146. Fixes PR16867. Does not add the testcases from that PR, but both
of them should get added for both mem2reg and sroa when this revert gets
unreverted.

Doing work in constructors is bad: this change suggests to
call SpecialCaseList::create(Path, Error) instead of
"new SpecialCaseList(Path)". Currently the latter may crash with
report_fatal_error, which is undesirable - sometimes we want to report
the error to user gracefully - for example, if he provides an incorrect
file as an argument of Clang's -fsanitize-blacklist flag.

acf4cf7757 Introduce an optimisation for special case lists with large numbers of literal entries.
Our internal regex implementation does not cope with large numbers
of anchors very efficiently.  Given a ~3600-entry special case list,
regex compilation can take on the order of seconds.  This patch solves
the problem for the special case of patterns matching literal global
names (i.e. patterns with no regex metacharacters).  Rather than
forming regexes from literal global name patterns, add them to
a StringSet which is checked before matching against the regex.
This reduces regex compilation time by an order of roughly thousands
when reading the aforementioned special case list, according to a
completely unscientific study.

No test cases.  I figure that any new tests for this code should
check that regex metacharacters are properly recognised.  However,
I could not find any documentation which documents the fact that the
syntax of global names in special case lists is based on regexes.
The extent to which regex syntax is supported in special case lists
should probably be decided on/documented before writing tests.

064a68682d Update comments for SSAUpdater to use the modern doxygen comment
standards for LLVM. Remove duplicated comments on the interface from the
implementation file (implementation comments are left there of course).
Also clean up, re-word, and fix a few typos and errors in the commenst
spotted along the way.

This is in preparation for changes to these files and to keep the
uninteresting tidying in a separate commit.

6c3a95dab5 Thread DataLayout through the callers and into mem2reg. This will be
useful in a subsequent patch, but causes an unfortunate amount of noise,
so I pulled it out into a separate patch.

33ae899113 Merge the removal of dead instructions and lifetime markers with the
analysis of the alloca. We don't need to visit all the users twice for
this. We build up a kill list during the analysis and then just process
it afterward. This recovers the tiny bit of performance lost by moving
to the visitor based analysis system as it removes one entire use-list
walk from mem2reg. In some cases, this is now faster than mem2reg was
previously.

81e480463d Reimplement isPotentiallyReachable to make nocapture deduction much stronger.
Adds unit tests for it too.

Split BasicBlockUtils into an analysis-half and a transforms-half, and put the
analysis bits into a new Analysis/CFG.{h,cpp}. Promote isPotentiallyReachable
into llvm::isPotentiallyReachable and move it into Analysis/CFG.

57e6b2d1f3 SimplifyCFG: Use parallel-and and parallel-or mode to consolidate branch conditions
Merge consecutive if-regions if they contain identical statements.
Both transformations reduce number of branches.  The transformation
is guarded by a target-hook, and is currently enabled only for +R600,
but the correctness has been tested on X86 target using a variety of
CPU benchmarks.

8d93d41027 Re-implement the analysis of uses in mem2reg to be significantly more
robust. It now uses an InstVisitor and worklist to actually walk the
uses of the Alloca transitively and detect the pattern which we can
directly promote: loads & stores of the whole alloca and instructions we
can completely ignore.

Also, with this new implementation teach both the predicate for testing
whether we can promote and the promotion engine itself to use the same
code so we no longer have strange divergence between the two code paths.

I've added some silly test cases to demonstrate that we can handle
slightly more degenerate code patterns now. See the below for why this
is even interesting.

Performance impact: roughly 1% regression in the performance of SROA or
ScalarRepl on a large C++-ish test case where most of the allocas are
basically ready for promotion. The reason is because of silly redundant
work that I've left FIXMEs for and which I'll address in the next
commit. I wanted to separate this commit as it changes the behavior.
Once the redundant work in removing the dead uses of the alloca is
fixed, this code appears to be faster than the old version. =]

So why is this useful? Because the previous requirement for promotion
required a *specific* visit pattern of the uses of the alloca to verify:
we *had* to look for no more than 1 intervening use. The end goal is to
have SROA automatically detect when an alloca is already promotable and
directly hand it to the mem2reg machinery rather than trying to
partition and rewrite it. This is a 25% or more performance improvement
for SROA, and a significant chunk of the delta between it and
ScalarRepl. To get there, we need to make mem2reg actually capable of
promoting allocas which *look* promotable to SROA without have SROA do
tons of work to massage the code into just the right form.

This is actually the tip of the iceberg. There are tremendous potential
savings we can realize here by de-duplicating work between mem2reg and
SROA.
