Remove alignment argument from memcpy/memmove/memset in favour of alignment attributes (Step 1)

Summary:
This is a resurrection of work first proposed and discussed in Aug 2015:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-August/089384.html
and initially landed (but then backed out) in Nov 2015:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151109/312083.html

The @llvm.memcpy/memmove/memset intrinsics currently have an explicit argument
which is required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
dest (and source), and so must be the minimum of the actual alignment of the
two.

This change is the first in a series that allows source and dest to each
have their own alignments by using the alignment attribute on their arguments.

In this change we:
1) Remove the alignment argument.
2) Add alignment attributes to the source & dest arguments. We, temporarily,
require that the alignments for source & dest be equal.

For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 100, i32 4, i1 false)
will now read
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 4 %dest, i8* align 4 %src, i32 100, i1 false)

Downstream users may have to update their lit tests that check for
@llvm.memcpy/memmove/memset call/declaration patterns. The following extended sed script
may help with updating the majority of your tests, but it does not catch all possible
patterns so some manual checking and updating will be required.

The remaining changes in the series will:
Step 2) Expand the IRBuilder API to allow creation of memcpy/memmove with differing
source and dest alignments.
Step 3) Update Clang to use the new IRBuilder API.
Step 4) Update Polly to use the new IRBuilder API.
Step 5) Update LLVM passes that create memcpy/memmove calls to use the new IRBuilder API,
and those that use use MemIntrinsicInst::[get|set]Alignment() to use
getDestAlignment() and getSourceAlignment() instead.
Step 6) Remove the single-alignment IRBuilder API for memcpy/memmove, and the
MemIntrinsicInst::[get|set]Alignment() methods.

[LIR] Teach LIR to avoid extending the BE count prior to adding one to
it when safe.

Very often the BE count is the trip count minus one, and the plus one
here should fold with that minus one. But because the BE count might in
theory be UINT_MAX or some such, adding one before we extend could in
some cases wrap to zero and break when we scale things.

This patch checks to see if it would be safe to add one because the
specific case that would cause this is guarded for prior to entering the
preheader. This should handle essentially all of the common loop idioms
coming out of C/C++ code once canonicalized by LLVM.

Before this patch, both forms of loop in the added test cases ended up
subtracting one from the size, extending it, scaling it up by 8 and then
adding 8 back onto it. This is really silly, and it turns out made it
all the way into generated code very often, so this is a surprisingly
important cleanup to do.

Many thanks to Sanjoy for showing me how to do this with SCEV.

Change memcpy/memset/memmove to have dest and source alignments.

Note, this was reviewed (and more details are in) http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151109/312083.html

These intrinsics currently have an explicit alignment argument which is
required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
source and dest, and so must be the minimum of those.

This change allows source and dest to each have their own alignments
by using the alignment attribute on their arguments. The alignment
argument itself is removed.

There are a few places in the code for which the code needs to be
checked by an expert as to whether using only src/dest alignment is
safe. For those places, they currently take the minimum of src/dest
alignments which matches the current behaviour.

For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 500, i32 8, i1 false)
will now read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 8 %dest, i8* align 8 %src, i32 500, i1 false)

For out of tree owners, I was able to strip alignment from calls using sed by replacing:
(call.*llvm\.memset.*)i32\ [0-9]*\,\ i1 false\)
with:
$1i1 false)

and similarly for memmove and memcpy.

I then added back in alignment to test cases which needed it.

A similar commit will be made to clang which actually has many differences in alignment as now
IRBuilder can generate different source/dest alignments on calls.

In IRBuilder itself, a new argument was added. Instead of calling:
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
you now call
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, SrcAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)

There is a temporary class (IntegerAlignment) which takes the source alignment and rejects
implicit conversion from bool. This is to prevent isVolatile here from passing its default
parameter to the source alignment.

Note, changes in future can now be made to codegen. I didn't change anything here, but this
change should enable better memcpy code sequences.

[opaque pointer type] Add textual IR support for explicit type parameter to getelementptr instruction

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.

This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.

* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)

* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.

* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.

* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x

Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by
same crappy python code. I had to manually update a few test cases that
wouldn't fit the script's model (r228970,r229196,r229197,r229198). The
python script just massages stdin and writes the result to stdout, I
then wrapped that in a shell script to handle replacing files, then
using the usual find+xargs to migrate all the files.

update.py:

From llvm/src/tools/clang:

From llvm/src/tools/polly:

After that, check-all (with llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, lld,
compiler-rt, and polly all checked out).

The extra 'rm' in the apply.sh script is due to a few files in clang's test
suite using interesting unicode stuff that my python script was throwing
exceptions on. None of those files needed to be migrated, so it seemed
sufficient to ignore those cases.

results of this miscompile are a bit subtle as they can lead to
downstream passes concluding things are impossible which are in fact

LoopIdiom: Recognize memmove loops.

This turns loops like
for (unsigned i = 0; i != n; ++i)
p[i] = p[i+1];
into memmove, which has a highly optimized implementation in most libcs.

This was really easy with the new DependenceAnalysis :)

Stop emitting instructions with the name "tmp" they eat up memory and have to be uniqued, without any benefit.

If someone prefers %tmp42 to %42, run instnamer.

Fix PR9815: I was trying to get out of "generating code and then
failing to form a memset, then having to delete it" but my approximation
isn't safe for self recurrent loops. Instead of doign a hack

do it the right way.

rewrite the memset_pattern pattern generation stuff to accept any 2/4/8/16-byte
constant, including globals. This makes us generate much more "pretty" pattern
globals as well because it doesn't break it down to an array of bytes all the
time.

This enables us to handle stores of relocatable globals. This kicks in about
48 times in 254.gap, giving us stuff like this:

@.memset_pattern40 = internal constant [2 x %struct.TypHeader* (%struct.TypHeader*, %struct.TypHeader*)*] [%struct.TypHeader* (%struct.TypHeader*, %struct
.TypHeader*)* @IsFalse, %struct.TypHeader* (%struct.TypHeader*, %struct.TypHeader*)* @IsFalse], align 16

...
call void @memset_pattern16(i8* %scevgep5859, i8* bitcast ([2 x %struct.TypHeader* (%struct.TypHeader*, %struct.TypHeader*)*]* @.memset_pattern40 to i8*
), i64 %tmp75) nounwind

Stores of null pointers should turn into memset, we weren't recognizing
them as splat values.
