[Reland][IPO] Added attributor for identifying invariant loads (#146584) Patched and tested the `AAInvariantLoadPointer` attributor from #141800, which identifies pointers whose loads are eligible to be marked as `!invariant.load`. The bug in the attributor was due to `AAMemoryBehavior` always identifying pointers obtained from `alloca`s as having no writes. I'm not entirely sure why `AAMemoryBehavior` behaves this way, but it seems to be beceause it identifies the scope of an `alloca` to be limited to only that instruction (and, certainly, no memory writes occur within the `alloca` instructin). This patch just adds a check to disallow all loads from `alloca` pointers from being marked `!invariant.load` (since any well-defined program will have to write to stack pointers at some point).
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.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

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