[SCEV] Ensure SCEV does not replace aliases with their aliasees
ClosedPublic

Authored by leonardchan on Feb 14 2023, 10:48 AM.

Details

Summary

Passes in general shouldn't replace an alias with the aliasee (see https://reviews.llvm.org/D66606). This can lead to situations where a linkonce_odr symbol (which could be interposable if lowered to weak linkage) can be replaced with a local aliasee which won't be interposable. SVEC does this when the function is invoked by FunctionPass Manager -> Loop Pass Manager -> Induction Variable Users in the codegen pipeline. This was found in hwasan instrumented code where a linonce_odr alias was replaced with its private aliasee.

This fixes the bug descriped at https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60668.

Lemme know if the clang regression test isn't necessary or should be in its own commit.

Passes shouldn't be replacing aliases with aliasees in general, see D66606. The right fix is to fix SCEV to not do that.

Best to leave a simplified description in the summary so that a reader doesn't have to go to the external link and summarize the discussions themselves.

This SCEV function is invoked by FunctionPass Manager -> Loop Pass Manager -> Induction Variable Users in the codegen pipeline.

@reames let's continue the discussion here. What specific bits with the optimizer does this break? I'm not too familiar with SVEC. Prior to this, one thing I tried was instead just doing Ops.push_back(GA) and getSCEV(GA) but those seemed to result in infinite recursions last I checked probably because there's another pass attempting to resolve aliases.
