Enhance the memdep interface so that users can tell the difference between a dependency which cannot be calculated and a path reaching the entry point of the function. This patch introduces isNonFuncLocal, which replaces isUnknown in some cases.

Try again at r138809 (make DSE more aggressive in removing dead stores at the end of a function), now with less deleting stores before memcpy's.

When walking backwards to eliminate final stores to allocas at the end of a function, encountering an unrelated store should not cause us to give up like encountering a load does.

Add "unknown" results for memdep, which mean "I don't know whether a dependence for the given instruction exists in the given block".  This cleans up all the existing hacks in memdep which represent this concept by returning clobber with various unrelated instructions.

  that one of the numbers is signed while the other is unsigned. This could lead
  to a wrong result when the signed was promoted to an unsigned int.

* Add the data layout line to the testcase so that it will test the appropriate
  thing.

Fixes PR9569 and will hopefully make selfhost on ASLR-enabled systems more deterministic.

There are two ways that a later store can comletely overlap a previous store:

1. They both start at the same offset, but the earlier store's size is <= the
   later's size, or
2. The earlier store's offset is > the later's offset, but it's offset + size
   doesn't extend past the later's offset + size.

llvm-svn: 128332

completely overlaps a previous store, thus mistakenly deleting that store. Check
for this condition.

with BasicAA's DecomposeGEPExpression, which recently began
using a TargetData. This fixes PR8968, though the testcase
is awkward to reduce.

Also, update several off GetUnderlyingObject's users
which happen to have a TargetData handy to pass it in.

memcpy's like:
  memcpy(A, B)
  memcpy(A, C)

we cannot delete the first memcpy as dead if A and C might be aliases.
If so, we actually get:

  memcpy(A, B)
  memcpy(A, A)

which is not correct to transform into:

  memcpy(A, A)

matter in practice.

1. if the underlying pointer passed in can be resolved
   to any argument or alloca, then we don't need to scan.
   Previously we would only avoid the scan if the alloca
   or byval was actually considered dead.
2. The dead store processing code is itself completely
   dead and didn't handle volatile stores right anyway,
   so delete it.  This allows simplifying the interface
   to RemoveAccessedObjects.

llvm-svn: 120467

made sense to me.  We now have a set of dead stack objects, and
they become live when loaded.  Fix a theoretical problem where
we'd pass in the wrong pointer to the alias query.

llvm-svn: 120465

If the call might read all the allocas, stop scanning early.
Convert a vector to smallvector, shrink SmallPtrSet to 16 instead
of 64 to avoid crazy linear scans.

about pairs of AA::Location's instead of looking for MemDep's
"Def" predicate.  This is more powerful and general, handling
memset/memcpy/store all uniformly, and implementing PR8701 and
probably obsoleting parts of memcpyoptimizer.

This also fixes an obscure bug with init.trampoline and i8
stores, but I'm not surprised it hasn't been hit yet.  Enhancing
init.trampoline to carry the size that it stores would allow
DSE to be much more aggressive about optimizing them.

Enhance DSE to use a modref query instead of a store-specific hack
to generalize the "ignore may-alias stores" optimization to handle
memset and memcpy.

llvm-svn: 120363

1. Don't bother trying to optimize:

lifetime.end(ptr)
store(ptr)

as it is undefined, and therefore shouldn't exist.

2. Move the 'storing a loaded pointer' xform up, simplifying
  the may-aliased store code.
