This reverts the revert commit ad95255b92.
The updated version also creates a load when the store may not execute.
In those cases, we still need to introduce a load in a function where
there may not have been one before, so this doesn't completely resolve
issue #51248.
Original message:
When only a store is sunk, there is no need to create a load in the
pre-header, as the result of the load will never get used.
The dead load can can introduce UB, if the function is marked as
writeonly.

Rather than iterating over users and comparing operands, iterate
over uses and check operand number. Otherwise, we'll end up
promoting a store twice if it has two equal operands.
This can only happen with opaque pointers, as otherwise both
operands differ by a level of indirection, so a bitcast would have
to be involved.

This changes MemorySSA to be constructed in unoptimized form.
MemorySSA::ensureOptimizedUses() can be called to optimize all
uses (once). This should be done by passes where having optimized
uses is beneficial, either because we're going to query all uses
anyway, or because we're doing def-use walks.
This should help reduce the compile-time impact of MemorySSA for
some use cases (the reason why I started looking into this is
D117926), which can avoid optimizing all uses upfront, and instead
only optimize those that are actually queried.
Actually, we have an existing use-case for this, which is EarlyCSE.
Disabling eager use optimization there gives a significant
compile-time improvement, because EarlyCSE will generally only query
clobbers for a subset of all uses (this change is not included in
this patch).

LICM will speculatively hoist code outside of loops. This requires removing information, like alias analysis (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53794), range information (https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50550), among others. Prior to https://reviews.llvm.org/D99249 , LICM would only be run after LoopRotate. Running Loop Rotate prior to LICM prevents a instruction hoist from being speculative, if it was conditionally executed by the iteration (as is commonly emitted by clang and other frontends). Adding the additional LICM pass first, however, forces all of these instructions to be considered speculative, even if they are not speculative after LoopRotate. This destroys information, resulting in performance losses for discarding this additional information.
This PR modifies LICM to accept a ``speculative'' parameter which allows LICM to be set to perform information-loss speculative hoists or not. Phase ordering is then modified to not perform the information-losing speculative hoists until after loop rotate is performed, preserving this additional information.

This extract a common isNotVisibleOnUnwind() helper into
AliasAnalysis, which handles allocas, byval arguments and noalias
calls. After D116998 this could also handle sret arguments. We
have similar logic in DSE and MemCpyOpt, which will be switched
to use this helper as well.
The noalias call case is a bit different from the others, because
it also requires that the object is not captured. The caller is
responsible for doing the appropriate check.

When determining whether the memory is local to the function (and
we can thus introduce spurious writes without thread-safety issues),
check for a noalias call rather than the hardcoded list of memory
allocation functions. Noalias calls are the more general way to
determine allocation functions, as long as we're only interested
in the property that the returned value is distinct from any other
accessible memory.

This reverts change 2c391a5/D87551. As noted in the llvm-dev thread "LICM as canonical form" sent earlier today, introducing this was a major design change made without sufficient cause.
A profile driven LICM is not an unreasonable design, it simply is not what we have. Switching to such a model requires a lot more work than just this patch, and broad aggeement that is the right direction for the optimizer as a whole.
Worth noting is that all the tests included in the reverted changed are probably handled if we allow running unconstrained LICM, and later run LoopSink. As such, we have no public examples which motivate a profit based hoisting approach.
When doing load/store promotion within LICM, if we
cannot prove that it is safe to sink the store we won't
hoist the load, even though we can prove the load could
be dereferenced and moved outside the loop. This patch
implements the load promotion by moving it in the loop
preheader by inserting proper PHI in the loop. The store
is kept as is in the loop. By doing this, we avoid doing
the load from a memory location in each iteration.
Please consider this small example:
loop {
var = *ptr;
if (var) break;
*ptr= var + 1;
}
After this patch, it will be:
var0 = *ptr;
loop {
var1 = phi (var0, var2);
if (var1) break;
var2 = var1 + 1;
*ptr = var2;
}

When we check if a load is loop invariant by finding a dominating
invariant.start call, we strip bitcasts until we get to an i8* Value,
and look for an invariant.start use of the i8* Value.
We may accidentally end up at an i8 global and look at a global's uses,
which we shouldn't do in a loop pass. Although we could make this
logic work with globals, that's not currently intended.

MSSA-based LICM has been enabled by default for a few years now.
This drops the old AST-based implementation. Using loop(licm) will
result in a fatal error, the use of loop-mssa(licm) is required

This was a diagnostic option used to demonstrate a weakness in
the AST-based LICM implementation. This problem does not exist
in the MSSA-based LICM implementation, which has been enabled
for a long time now. As such, this option is no longer relevant.
This option has been enabled by default for quite a while now.
The practical impact of removing the option is that MSSA use
cannot be disabled in default pipelines (both LPM and NPM) and
in manual LPM invocations. NPM can still choose to enable/disable
MSSA using loop vs loop-mssa.
The next step will be to require MSSA for LICM and drop the
AST-based implementation entirely.

When hoisting/moving calls to locations, we strip unknown metadata. Such calls are usually marked `speculatable`, i.e. they are guaranteed to not cause undefined behaviour when run anywhere. So, we should strip attributes that can cause immediate undefined behaviour if those attributes are not valid in the context where the call is moved to.
This patch introduces such an API and uses it in relevant passes. See
updated tests.

The MaybePromotable set keeps track of loads/stores for which
promotion was not attempted yet. Normally, any load/stores that
are promoted in the current iteration will be removed from this
set, because they naturally MustAlias with the promoted value.
However, if the source program has UB with metadata claiming that
a store is NoAlias, while it is actually MustAlias, and multiple
different pointers are promoted in the same iteration, it can
happen that a store is removed that is still in the MaybePromotable
set, causing a use-after-free.
While this could be fixed by explicitly invalidating values in
MaybePromotable in the LoopPromoter, I'm going with the more
radical option of dropping the set entirely here and check all
load/stores on each promotion iteration. As promotion, and especially
repeated promotion, are quite rare, this doesn't seem to have any
impact on compile-time.

LICM can sink instructions that have uses inside the loop, as
long as these uses are considered "free". However, if there were
only free uses inside the loop, and no uses outside the loop at
all, the instruction would still count towards the NumSunk
statistic. This resulted in a wild inflation of the NumSunk metric.
After this patch it drops down from 1141787 to 5852 on test-suite O3.
It is not legal to form a phi node with token type. The generic LCSSA construction code handles this correctly - by not forming LCSSA for such cases - but the adhoc fixup implementation in LICM did not.
This was noticed in the context of PR49607, but can be demonstrated on ToT with the tweaked test case. This is not specific to gc.relocate btw, it also applies to usage of the preallocated family of intrinsics as well.

Even when MemorySSA-based LICM is used, an AST is still populated
for scalar promotion. As the AST has quadratic complexity, a lot
of time is spent in this step despite the existing access count
limit. This patch optimizes the identification of promotable stores.
The idea here is pretty simple: We're only interested in must-alias
mod sets of loop invariant pointers. As such, only populate the AST
with loop-invariant loads and stores (anything else is definitely
not promotable) and then discard any sets which alias with any of
the remaining, definitely non-promotable accesses.
If we promoted something, check whether this has made some other
accesses loop invariant and thus possible promotion candidates.
This is much faster in practice, because we need to perform AA
queries for O(NumPromotable^2 + NumPromotable*NumNonPromotable)
instead of O(NumTotal^2), and NumPromotable tends to be small.
Additionally, promotable accesses have loop invariant pointers,
for which AA is cheaper.
This has a signicant positive compile-time impact. We save ~1.8%
geomean on CTMark at O3, with 6% on lencod in particular and 25%
on individual files.
Conceptually, this change is NFC, but may not be so in practice,
because the AST is only an approximation, and can produce
different results depending on the order in which accesses are
added. However, there is at least no impact on the number of promotions
(licm.NumPromoted) in test-suite O3 configuration with this change.

See pr46990(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46990). LICM should not sink store instructions to loop exit blocks which cross coro.suspend intrinsics. This breaks semantic of coro.suspend intrinsic which return to caller directly. Also this leads to use-after-free if the coroutine is freed before control returns to the caller in multithread environment.
This patch disable promotion by check whether loop contains coro.suspend intrinsics.
This is a resubmit of D86190.
Disabling LICM for loops with coroutine suspension is a better option not only for correctness purpose but also for performance purpose.
In most cases LICM sinks memory operations. In the case of coroutine, sinking memory operation out of the loop does not improve performance since coroutien needs to get data from the frame anyway. In fact LICM would hurt coroutine performance since it adds more entries to the frame.
