39f4e8d9cc Update Transforms tests to use CHECK-LABEL for easier debugging. No functionality change.
This update was done with the following bash script:

  find test/Transforms -name "*.ll" | \
  while read NAME; do
    echo "$NAME"
    if ! grep -q "^; *RUN: *llc" $NAME; then
      TEMP=`mktemp -t temp`
      cp $NAME $TEMP
      sed -n "s/^define [^@]*@\([A-Za-z0-9_]*\)(.*$/\1/p" < $NAME | \
      while read FUNC; do
        sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)\([A-Za-z0-9_]*\):\( *\)@$FUNC\([( ]*\)\$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3@$FUNC(/g" $TEMP
      done
      mv $TEMP $NAME
    fi
  done

f2286b0152 Initial commit for the rewrite of the inline cost analysis to operate
on a per-callsite walk of the called function's instructions, in
breadth-first order over the potentially reachable set of basic blocks.

This is a major shift in how inline cost analysis works to improve the
accuracy and rationality of inlining decisions. A brief outline of the
algorithm this moves to:

- Build a simplification mapping based on the callsite arguments to the
  function arguments.
- Push the entry block onto a worklist of potentially-live basic blocks.
- Pop the first block off of the *front* of the worklist (for
  breadth-first ordering) and walk its instructions using a custom
  InstVisitor.
- For each instruction's operands, re-map them based on the
  simplification mappings available for the given callsite.
- Compute any simplification possible of the instruction after
  re-mapping, and store that back int othe simplification mapping.
- Compute any bonuses, costs, or other impacts of the instruction on the
  cost metric.
- When the terminator is reached, replace any conditional value in the
  terminator with any simplifications from the mapping we have, and add
  any successors which are not proven to be dead from these
  simplifications to the worklist.
- Pop the next block off of the front of the worklist, and repeat.
- As soon as the cost of inlining exceeds the threshold for the
  callsite, stop analyzing the function in order to bound cost.

The primary goal of this algorithm is to perfectly handle dead code
paths. We do not want any code in trivially dead code paths to impact
inlining decisions. The previous metric was *extremely* flawed here, and
would always subtract the average cost of two successors of
a conditional branch when it was proven to become an unconditional
branch at the callsite. There was no handling of wildly different costs
between the two successors, which would cause inlining when the path
actually taken was too large, and no inlining when the path actually
taken was trivially simple. There was also no handling of the code
*path*, only the immediate successors. These problems vanish completely
now. See the added regression tests for the shiny new features -- we
skip recursive function calls, SROA-killing instructions, and high cost
complex CFG structures when dead at the callsite being analyzed.

Switching to this algorithm required refactoring the inline cost
interface to accept the actual threshold rather than simply returning
a single cost. The resulting interface is pretty bad, and I'm planning
to do lots of interface cleanup after this patch.

Several other refactorings fell out of this, but I've tried to minimize
them for this patch. =/ There is still more cleanup that can be done
here. Please point out anything that you see in review.

I've worked really hard to try to mirror at least the spirit of all of
the previous heuristics in the new model. It's not clear that they are
all correct any more, but I wanted to minimize the change in this single
patch, it's already a bit ridiculous. One heuristic that is *not* yet
mirrored is to allow inlining of functions with a dynamic alloca *if*
the caller has a dynamic alloca. I will add this back, but I think the
most reasonable way requires changes to the inliner itself rather than
just the cost metric, and so I've deferred this for a subsequent patch.
The test case is XFAIL-ed until then.

As mentioned in the review mail, this seems to make Clang run about 1%
to 2% faster in -O0, but makes its binary size grow by just under 4%.
I've looked into the 4% growth, and it can be fixed, but requires
changes to other parts of the inliner.

426d5715b1 Clean up the naming in this test. Someone pointed this out in review at
one point, and I forgot to go back and clean it up. Sorry about that. =/

e8187e0294 Undo a previous restriction on the inline cost calculation which Nick
introduced. Specifically, there are cost reductions for all
constant-operand icmp instructions against an alloca, regardless of
whether the alloca will in fact be elligible for SROA. That means we
don't want to abort the icmp reduction computation when we abort the
SROA reduction computation. That in turn frees us from the need to keep
a separate worklist and defer the ICmp calculations.

Use this new-found freedom and some judicious function boundaries to
factor the innards of computing the cost factor of any given instruction
out of the loop over the instructions and into static helper functions.
This greatly simplifies the code, and hopefully makes it more clear what
is happening here.

Reviewed by Eric Christopher. There is some concern that we'd like to
ensure this doesn't get out of hand, and I plan to benchmark the effects
of this change over the next few days along with some further fixes to
the inline cost.

6977e79526 Support pointer comparisons against constants, when looking at the inline-cost
savings from a pointer argument becoming an alloca. Sometimes callees will even
compare a pointer to null and then branch to an otherwise unreachable block!
Detect these cases and compute the number of saved instructions, instead of
bailing out and reporting no savings.

38b6d9dd22 Fix CountCodeReductionForAlloca to more accurately represent what SROA can and
can't handle. Also don't produce non-zero results for things which won't be
transformed by SROA at all just because we saw the loads/stores before we saw
the use of the address.
