blocks in the function cloner. This removes the last case of trivially
dead code that I've been seeing in the wild getting inlined, analyzed,
re-inlined, optimized, only to be deleted. Nukes a FIXME from the
cleanup tests.

aggressively. There are lots of dire warnings about this being expensive
that seem to predate switching to the TrackingVH-based value remapper
that is automatically updated on RAUW. This makes it easy to not just
prune single-entry PHIs, but to fully simplify PHIs, and to recursively
simplify the newly inlined code to propagate PHINode simplifications.
This introduces a bit of a thorny problem though. We may end up
simplifying a branch condition to a constant when we fold PHINodes, and
we would like to nuke any dead blocks resulting from this so that time
isn't wasted continually analyzing them, but this isn't easy. Deleting
basic blocks *after* they are fully cloned and mapped into the new
function currently requires manually updating the value map. The last
piece of the simplification-during-inlining puzzle will require either
switching to WeakVH mappings or some other piece of refactoring. I've
left a FIXME in the testcase about this.

to instead rely on much more generic and powerful instruction
simplification in the function cloner (and thus inliner).
This teaches the pruning function cloner to use instsimplify rather than
just the constant folder to fold values during cloning. This can
simplify a large number of things that constant folding alone cannot
begin to touch. For example, it will realize that 'or' and 'and'
instructions with certain constant operands actually become constants
regardless of what their other operand is. It also can thread back
through the caller to perform simplifications that are only possible by
looking up a few levels. In particular, GEPs and pointer testing tend to
fold much more heavily with this change.
This should (in some cases) have a positive impact on compile times with
optimizations on because the inliner itself will simply avoid cloning
a great deal of code. It already attempted to prune proven-dead code,
but now it will be use the stronger simplifications to prove more code
dead.

regressed seriously here, we are no longer removing allocas during
inline cleanup. This appears to be because of lifetime markers "using"
them. =/ I'll look into this shortly.

It was added in 2007 as the first cut at supporting no-inline
attributes, but we didn't have function attributes of any form at the
time. However, it was added without any mention in the LangRef or other
documentation.
Later on, in 2008, Devang added function notes for 'inline=never' and
then turned them into proper function attributes. From that point
onward, as far as I can tell, the world moved on, and no one has touched
'llvm.noinline' in any meaningful way since.
It's time has now come. We have had better mechanisms for doing this for
a long time, all the frontends I'm aware of use them, and this is just
holding back progress. Given that it was never a documented feature of
the IR, I've provided no auto-upgrade support. If people know of real,
in-the-wild bitcode that relies on this, yell at me and I'll add it, but
I *seriously* doubt anyone cares.

correlated pairs of pointer arguments at the callsite. This is designed
to recognize the common C++ idiom of begin/end pointer pairs when the
end pointer is a constant offset from the begin pointer. With the
C-based idiom of a pointer and size, the inline cost saw the constant
size calculation, and this provides the same level of information for
begin/end pairs.
In order to propagate this information we have to search for candidate
operations on a pair of pointer function arguments (or derived from
them) which would be simplified if the pointers had a known constant
offset. Then the callsite analysis looks for such pointer pairs in the
argument list, and applies the appropriate bonus.
This helps LLVM detect that half of bounds-checked STL algorithms
(such as hash_combine_range, and some hybrid sort implementations)
disappear when inlined with a constant size input. However, it's not
a complete fix due the inaccuracy of our cost metric for constants in
general. I'm looking into that next.
Benchmarks showed no significant code size change, and very minor
performance changes. However, specific code such as hashing is showing
significantly cleaner inlining decisions.

candidate set for subsequent inlining, try to simplify the arguments to
the inner call site now that inlining has been performed.
The goal here is to propagate and fold constants through deeply nested
call chains. Without doing this, we loose the inliner bonus that should
be applied because the arguments don't match the exact pattern the cost
estimator uses.

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.

pad, separating the exception and selector calls from the new lpad. Teaching
it not to do that, or to properly adjust the CFG afterwards, is out of
scope because it would require the other edges to the landing pad to be split
as well (effectively). Instead, just recover from the most likely cases
during inlining. The best long-term solution is to change the exception
representation and commit to either requiring or not requiring the more
complex edge-splitting logic; this is just a shorter-term hack.

transformed by the inliner into a branch to the enclosing landing pad
(when inlined through an invoke). If not so optimized, it is lowered
DWARF EH preparation into a call to _Unwind_Resume (or _Unwind_SjLj_Resume
as appropriate). Its chief advantage is that it takes both the
exception value and the selector value as arguments, meaning that there
is zero effort in recovering these; however, the frontend is required
to pass these down, which is not actually particularly difficult.
Also document the behavior of landing pads a bit better, and make it
clearer that it's okay that personality functions don't always land at
landing pads. This is just a fact of life. Don't write optimizations that
rely on pushing things over an unwind edge.

- the selector for the landing pad must provide all available information
about the handlers, filters, and cleanups within that landing pad
- calls to _Unwind_Resume must be converted to branches to the enclosing
lpad so as to avoid re-entering the unwinder when the lpad claimed it
was going to handle the exception in some way
This is quite specific to libUnwind-based unwinding. In an effort to not
interfere too badly with other unwinders, and with existing hacks in frontends,
this only triggers on _Unwind_Resume (not _Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow) and does
nothing with selectors if it cannot find a selector call for either lpad.

that can have a big effect :). The first is to enable the
iterative SCC passmanager juice that kicks in when the
scc passmgr detects that a function pass has devirtualized
a call. In this case, it will rerun all the passes it
manages on the SCC, up to the iteration count limit (4). This
is useful because a function pass may devirualize a call, and
we want the inliner to inline it, or pruneeh to infer stuff
about it, etc.
The second patch is to add *all* call sites to the
DevirtualizedCalls list the inliner uses. This list is
about to get renamed, but the jist of this is that the
inliner now reconsiders *all* inlined call sites as candidates
for further inlining. The intuition is this that in cases
like this:
f() { g(1); } g(int x) { h(x); }
We analyze this bottom up, and may decide that it isn't
profitable to inline H into G. Next step, we decide that it is
profitable to inline G into F, and do so, which means that F
now calls H. Even though the call from G -> H may not have been
profitable to inline, the call from F -> H may be (in this case
because a constant allows folding etc).
In my spot checks, this doesn't have a big impact on code. For
example, the LLC output for 252.eon grew from 0.02% (from
317252 to 317308) and 176.gcc actually shrunk by .3% (from 1525612
to 1520964 bytes). 252.eon never iterated in the SCC Passmgr,
176.gcc iterated at most 1 time.

that appear due to inlining a callee as candidates for
futher inlining, but a recent patch made it do this if
those call sites were indirect and became direct.
Unfortunately, in bizarre cases (see testcase) doing this
can cause us to infinitely inline mutually recursive
functions into callers not in the cycle. Fix this by
keeping track of the inline history from which callsite
inline candidates got inlined from.
This shouldn't affect any "real world" code, but is required
for a follow on patch that is coming up next.

were still inlining self-recursive functions into other functions.
Inlining a recursive function into itself has the potential to
reduce recursion depth by a factor of 2, inlining a recursive
function into something else reduces recursion depth by exactly
1. Since inlining a recursive function into something else is a
weird form of loop peeling, turn this off.
The deleted testcase was added by Dale in r62107, since then
we're leaning towards not inlining recursive stuff ever. In any
case, if we like inlining recursive stuff, it should be done
within the recursive function itself to get the algorithm
recursion depth win.
