[Inliner] Don't propagate memory attributes to byval params (#93381)

Memory restrictions for params to the inlined function do not apply to
the copies logically made when that function further passes its own
params as byval.

In other words, imagine that `@foo()` calls `@bar(ptr readonly %p)`
which in turn calls `@baz(ptr byval("...") %p)` (passing the same `%p`).
This is fully legal - `baz` is allowed to modify its copy of the object
referenced by `%p` because the argument is passed by value. However,
when inlining `@bar` into `@foo`, we can't say that the callsite is now
`@baz(ptr readonly byval("...") %p)`, as this would mean that `@baz` is
not allowed to modify it's copy of the object pointed to by `%p`.
LangRef says: "The copy is considered to belong to the caller not the
callee (for example, readonly functions should not write to byval
parameters)".

This fixes a miscompile introduced by PR #89024 in a program in the
Google codebase.

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.
