[Mem2Reg] Remove extraneous getAllocatedType() check (#177438)

Replace uses of getAllocatedType() in PromoteMemoryToRegister.cpp with
type tracking from actual loads and stores. This makes the promotion
logic more semantic - it now checks that all loads/stores use a
consistent type rather than requiring them to match the alloca's
declared type.

Changes:
- isAllocaPromotable() now tracks the first load/store type seen and
ensures all subsequent accesses use the same type
- AllocaInfo gains a ValueType field populated during AnalyzeAlloca()
- PromoteMem2Reg tracks AllocaValueTypes alongside other per-alloca info
- PHI nodes and UndefValues are created using the tracked type

This is semantically more permissive - an alloca declared as i64 but
only accessed as i32 is now promotable. This is correct because the
alloca is just a blob of memory; what matters for Mem2Reg is consistent
access patterns.

Test changes:
- asan-stack-safety.ll: Changed loads/stores to volatile to prevent
promotion while preserving ASAN stack safety analysis behavior
- SPIRV pointer tests (array-skips-gep.ll, load-struct.ll,
store-struct.ll, store-to-array-first-element.ll): Added escape calls to
prevent alloca promotion, as these tests verify SPIRV backend handling
of Function-storage-class pointers

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch

Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
