[VectorCombine] Fix alignment in single element store

[qiucf]

Summary

This concern was raised in D98240. It's a miscompile and thanks for comments from @lebedev.ri.

This line is too cute for me, but ...

[lebedev.ri]

Hm, this first needs more radical fixes - this is currently miscompiling vector indexes: https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/aWtH9w
I would suggest to first simply require the index to be constant.

[lebedev.ri]

Right, canScalarizeAccess() already does that, okay.
But then, it would be good to have a positive test for @insert_store_nonconst() :)

(alive *seems* to be happy with this)
This is going to be precise and optimal for constant indexes,
but i think we can get at least the lower-bound estimate for variable indexes:
the new address will be offset from the base address by DL.getTypeStoreSize(NewElement->getType()),
so i think we can do

else
  NewAlignment = commonAlignment(
          NewAlignment,
          DL.getTypeStoreSize(NewElement->getType()));

Please add positive tests:

; New alignment should be 8
define void @src(<8 x i64>* %q, i64 %s, i32 %idx) {
  %cmp = icmp ult i32 %idx, 2
  call void @llvm.assume(i1 %cmp)

  %i = load <8 x i64>, <8 x i64>* %q, align 8
  %vecins = insertelement <8 x i64> %i, i64 %s, i32 %idx
  store <8 x i64> %vecins, <8 x i64>* %q, align 8
  ret void
}

; New alignment should be 4
define void @src(<8 x i64>* %q, i64 %s, i32 %idx) {
  %cmp = icmp ult i32 %idx, 2
  call void @llvm.assume(i1 %cmp)

  %i = load <8 x i64>, <8 x i64>* %q, align 4
  %vecins = insertelement <8 x i64> %i, i64 %s, i32 %idx
  store <8 x i64> %vecins, <8 x i64>* %q, align 4
  ret void
}

Add another test (first..)

[lebedev.ri]

Please feel free to just directly commit new tests.
The new tests i asked for should be positive tests - they should be getting transformed (missing @llvm.assume())

[lebedev.ri]

Thanks.
This looks fine to me now.
Can anyone spot any issues with the new alignment logic? @fhahn @spatel?

I think we still want those two tests i suggested,
they demonstrate that we don't increase alignment from the maximal one allowed.

Please precommit the tests.

How do we justify this increase in alignment?
The original code had minimal align 1, so it could be anything. We are creating a scalar store at an address 6 bytes over that, so it could still be anything?

[lebedev.ri]

llvm/test/Transforms/VectorCombine/load-insert-store.ll

This change is correct.
Before store <...>, align 1, we have already established that the %q is more aligned,
as per the load <...> with an implicit alignment, which isn't 1.

Ah, thanks for explaining. IIUC, we add explicit alignment to all load/store in IR now, so we should add the align 16 to this test to avoid confusion - and a test comment would be nice too :).

+1 - additional tests and pre-commit will make this easier to understand.

[qiucf]

Add explicit align to affected test.
Add comment for implicit alignment.

Let me know if I'm not seeing it, but we want 1 test with nonconst index where the original alignment is less than the presumed alignment for the new scalar store:

define void @src(<8 x i64>* %q, i64 %s, i32 %idx) {
  %cmp = icmp ult i32 %idx, 2
  call void @llvm.assume(i1 %cmp)
  %i = load <8 x i64>, <8 x i64>* %q, align 4
  %vecins = insertelement <8 x i64> %i, i64 %s, i32 %idx
  store <8 x i64> %vecins, <8 x i64>* %q, align 2 ; make this different just to exercise the logic a bit more
  ret void
}

[lebedev.ri]

(better, but still not quite there, my previous comments still stand unaddressed...)

[lebedev.ri]

LGTM unless there are other comments.
Thanks.

[spatel]

LGTM

Landed. Thanks for the review!
