2a4f26b4c2 [ValueTracking] Improve reverse assumption inference
Use isGuaranteedToTransferExecutionToSuccessor() instead of
isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute() when seeing whether we can propagate
the information in an assume backwards in isValidAssumeForContext().
The latter is more general - it also allows arbitrary loads/stores -
and is also the condition we want: if our assume is guaranteed to
execute, its condition not holding would be UB.

73f702ff19 [InstCombine] Non-canonical clamp-like pattern handling
Summary:
Given a pattern like:
```
%old_cmp1 = icmp slt i32 %x, C2
%old_replacement = select i1 %old_cmp1, i32 %target_low, i32 %target_high
%old_x_offseted = add i32 %x, C1
%old_cmp0 = icmp ult i32 %old_x_offseted, C0
%r = select i1 %old_cmp0, i32 %x, i32 %old_replacement
```
it can be rewritten as more canonical pattern:
```
%new_cmp1 = icmp slt i32 %x, -C1
%new_cmp2 = icmp sge i32 %x, C0-C1
%new_clamped_low = select i1 %new_cmp1, i32 %target_low, i32 %x
%r = select i1 %new_cmp2, i32 %target_high, i32 %new_clamped_low
```
Iff `-C1 s<= C2 s<= C0-C1`
Also, `ULT` predicate can also be `UGE`; or `UGT` iff `C0 != -1` (+invert result)
Also, `SLT` predicate can also be `SGE`; or `SGT` iff `C2 != INT_MAX` (+invert result)

If `C1 == 0`, then all 3 instructions must be one-use; else at most either `%old_cmp1` or `%old_x_offseted` can have extra uses.
NOTE: if we could reuse `%old_cmp1` as one of the comparisons we'll have to build, this could be less limiting.

So there are two icmp's, each one with 3 predicate variants, so there are 9 fold variants:

|     | ULT                            | UGE                             | UGT                             |

| SGT | https://rise4fun.com/Alive/VYG | https://rise4fun.com/Alive/oMY  | https://rise4fun.com/Alive/KrzC |
{F9730206}

This fold was brought up in https://reviews.llvm.org/D65148#1603922 by @dmgreen, and is needed to unblock that patch.
This patch requires D65530.

2635c324da [InstCombine] foldXorOfICmps(): don't give up on non-single-use ICmp's if all users are freely invertible
Summary:
This is rather unconventional..

As the comment there says, we don't have much folds for xor-of-icmps,
we try to turn them into an and-of-icmps, for which we have plenty of folds.
But if the ICmp we need to invert is not single-use - we give up.

As discussed in https://reviews.llvm.org/D65148#1603922,
we may have a non-canonical CLAMP pattern, with bit match and
select-of-threshold that we'll potentially clamp.
As it can be seen in `canonicalize-clamp-with-select-of-constant-threshold-pattern.ll`,
out of all 8 variations of the pattern, only two are **not** canonicalized into
the variant with and+icmp instead of bit math.
The reason is because the ICmp we need to invert is not single-use - we give up.

We indeed can't perform this fold at will, the general rule is that
we should not increase instruction count in InstCombine,

But we wouldn't end up increasing instruction count if we can adapt every other
user to the inverted value. This way the `not` we create **will** get folded,
and in the end the instruction count did not increase.

For that, of course, we need to look at the users of a Value,
which is again rather unconventional for InstCombine :S

Thus i'm proposing to be a little bit more insistive in `foldXorOfICmps()`.
The alternatives would be to not create that `not`, but add duplicate code to
manually invert all users; or to add some even less general combine to handle
some more specific pattern[s].

11c4602fce [MVE] Don't try to unroll vectorised MVE loops
Due to the nature of the beat system in the MVE architecture, along with tail
predication and low-overhead loops, unrolling has less benefit compared to
normal loops. You can not, for example, hide the latency of a load with other
instructions as you can for scalar code. Preventing unrolling also makes the
code easier to read and reason about.

So if a loop contains vector code, don't enable the runtime unrolling. At least
for the time being.

This change makes Loop ICM profile aware - it now checks block frequency to make sure hoisting/sinking anly moves instruction to colder block.

21c15ef384 [Reassociate] try harder to convert negative FP constants to positive
This is an extension of a transform that tries to produce positive floating-point
constants to improve canonicalization (and hopefully lead to more reassociation
and CSE).

The original patches were:
D4904
D5363 (rL221721)

But as the test diffs show, these were limited to basic patterns by walking from
an instruction to its single user rather than recursively moving up the def-use
sequence. No fast-math is required here because we're only rearranging implicit
FP negations in intermediate ops.

A motivating bug is:

0e497d1554 cfi-icall: Allow the jump table to be optionally made non-canonical.
The default behavior of Clang's indirect function call checker will replace
the address of each CFI-checked function in the output file's symbol table
with the address of a jump table entry which will pass CFI checks. We refer
to this as making the jump table `canonical`. This property allows code that
was not compiled with ``-fsanitize=cfi-icall`` to take a CFI-valid address
of a function, but it comes with a couple of caveats that are especially
relevant for users of cross-DSO CFI:

- There is a performance and code size overhead associated with each
  exported function, because each such function must have an associated
  jump table entry, which must be emitted even in the common case where the
  function is never address-taken anywhere in the program, and must be used
  even for direct calls between DSOs, in addition to the PLT overhead.

- There is no good way to take a CFI-valid address of a function written in
  assembly or a language not supported by Clang. The reason is that the code
  generator would need to insert a jump table in order to form a CFI-valid
  address for assembly functions, but there is no way in general for the
  code generator to determine the language of the function. This may be
  possible with LTO in the intra-DSO case, but in the cross-DSO case the only
  information available is the function declaration. One possible solution
  is to add a C wrapper for each assembly function, but these wrappers can
  present a significant maintenance burden for heavy users of assembly in
  addition to adding runtime overhead.

For these reasons, we provide the option of making the jump table non-canonical
with the flag ``-fno-sanitize-cfi-canonical-jump-tables``. When the jump
table is made non-canonical, symbol table entries point directly to the
function body. Any instances of a function's address being taken in C will
be replaced with a jump table address.

This scheme does have its own caveats, however. It does end up breaking
function address equality more aggressively than the default behavior,
especially in cross-DSO mode which normally preserves function address
equality entirely.

Furthermore, it is occasionally necessary for code not compiled with
``-fsanitize=cfi-icall`` to take a function address that is valid
for CFI. For example, this is necessary when a function's address
is taken by assembly code and then called by CFI-checking C code. The
``__attribute__((cfi_jump_table_canonical))`` attribute may be used to make
the jump table entry of a specific function canonical so that the external
code will end up taking a address for the function that will pass CFI checks.

Fixes PR41972.

8b5f2ab2a4 Recommit r367901 "[X86] Enable -x86-experimental-vector-widening-legalization by default."
The assert that caused this to be reverted should be fixed now.

Original commit message:

This patch changes our defualt legalization behavior for 16, 32, and
64 bit vectors with i8/i16/i32/i64 scalar types from promotion to
widening. For example, v8i8 will now be widened to v16i8 instead of
promoted to v8i16. This keeps the elements widths the same and pads
with undef elements. We believe this is a better legalization strategy.
But it carries some issues due to the fragmented vector ISA. For
example, i8 shifts and multiplies get widened and then later have
to be promoted/split into vXi16 vectors.

This has the potential to cause regressions so we wanted to get
it in early in the 10.0 cycle so we have plenty of time to
address them.

Next steps will be to merge tests that explicitly test the command
line option. And then we can remove the option and its associated
code.

I've added an explicit bailout before we SimplifyAddInst() - i don't think

the actual problem only comes from ConstantExpr's.

I have also changed the common type deduction, to not just blindly

If we have right-shift however, we won't be able to make it
any simpler than it already is.

After this the only thing missing here is constant-folding: (`NewShAmt >= bitwidth(X)`)
* If it's a logical shift, then constant-fold to `0` (not `undef`)
* If it's a `ashr`, then a splat of original signbit

e83f303938 [Attributor] Deduce the "no-return" attribute for functions
A function is "no-return" if we never reach a return instruction, either
because there are none or the ones that exist are dead.

Test have been adjusted:
  - either noreturn was added, or
  - noreturn was avoided by modifying the code.

The new noreturn_{sync,async} test make sure we do handle invoke
instructions with a noreturn (and potentially nowunwind) callee
correctly, even in the presence of potential asynchronous exceptions.

3d7bbc6f9c [Attributor][Fix] Do not remove instructions during manifestation
When we remove instructions cached references could still be live. This
patch avoids removing invoke instructions that are replaced by calls and
instead keeps them around but in a dead block.

3de33245d2 [X86] Enable -x86-experimental-vector-widening-legalization by default.
This patch changes our defualt legalization behavior for 16, 32, and
64 bit vectors with i8/i16/i32/i64 scalar types from promotion to
widening. For example, v8i8 will now be widened to v16i8 instead of
promoted to v8i16. This keeps the elements widths the same and pads
with undef elements. We believe this is a better legalization strategy.
But it carries some issues due to the fragmented vector ISA. For
example, i8 shifts and multiplies get widened and then later have
to be promoted/split into vXi16 vectors.

This has the potential to cause regressions so we wanted to get
it in early in the 10.0 cycle so we have plenty of time to
address them.

Next steps will be to merge tests that explicitly test the command
line option. And then we can remove the option and its associated
code.
