Previously, whenever we needed a vector IV, we would create it on the fly,
by splatting the scalar IV and adding a step vector. Instead, we can create a
real vector IV. This tends to save a couple of instructions per iteration.
This only changes the behavior for the most basic case - integer primary
IVs with a constant step.

When we traced through a phi node looking for floating-point reductions, we
forgot whether we'd ever seen an instruction without fast-math flags (that
would block vectorization). This propagates it through to the end.

Getting accurate locations for loops is important, because those locations are
used by the frontend to generate optimization remarks. Currently, optimization
remarks for loops often appear on the wrong line, often the first line of the
loop body instead of the loop itself. This is confusing because that line might
itself be another loop, or might be somewhere else completely if the body was
inlined function call. This happens because of the way we find the loop's
starting location. First, we look for a preheader, and if we find one, and its
terminator has a debug location, then we use that. Otherwise, we look for a
location on an instruction in the loop header.
The fallback heuristic is not bad, but will almost always find the beginning of
the body, and not the loop statement itself. The preheader location search
often fails because there's often not a preheader, and even when there is a
preheader, depending on how it was formed, it sometimes carries the location of
some preceeding code.
I don't see any good theoretical way to fix this problem. On the other hand,
this seems like a straightforward solution: Put the debug location in the
loop's llvm.loop metadata. A companion Clang patch will cause Clang to insert
llvm.loop metadata with appropriate locations when generating debugging
information. With these changes, our loop remarks have much more accurate
locations.

By making pointer extraction from a vector more expensive in the cost model,
we avoid the vectorization of a loop that is very likely to be memory-bound:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27826
There are still bugs related to this, so we may need a more general solution
to avoid vectorizing obviously memory-bound loops when we don't have HW gather
support.

The selection of the vectorization factor currently doesn't consider
interleaved accesses. The vectorization factor is based on the maximum safe
dependence distance computed by LAA. However, for loops with interleaved
groups, we should instead base the vectorization factor on the maximum safe
dependence distance divided by the maximum interleave factor of all the
interleaved groups. Interleaved accesses not in a group will be scalarized.

*We don't currently handle the edge case constants (min/max values), so it's not a complete
canonicalization.
To fully solve the motivating bugs, we need to enhance this to recognize a zero vector
too because that's a ConstantAggregateZero which is a ConstantData, not a ConstantVector
or a ConstantDataVector.

Allow vectorization when the step is a loop-invariant variable.
This is the loop example that is getting vectorized after the patch:
int int_inc;
int bar(int init, int *restrict A, int N) {
int x = init;
for (int i=0;i<N;i++){
A[i] = x;
x += int_inc;
}
return x;
}
"x" is an induction variable with *loop-invariant* step.
But it is not a primary induction. Primary induction variable with non-constant step is not handled yet.

Summary:
Some PHIs can have expressions that are not AddRecExprs due to the presence
of sext/zext instructions. In order to prevent the Loop Vectorizer from
bailing out when encountering these PHIs, we now coerce the SCEV
expressions to AddRecExprs using SCEV predicates (when possible).
We only do this when the alternative would be to not vectorize.

We need to keep loop hints from the original loop on the new vector loop.
Failure to do this meant that, for example:
void foo(int *b) {
#pragma clang loop unroll(disable)
for (int i = 0; i < 16; ++i)
b[i] = 1;
}
this loop would be unrolled. Why? Because we'd vectorize it, thus dropping the
hints that unrolling should be disabled, and then we'd unroll it.
llvm-svn: 267970
We previously disallowed interleaved load groups that may cause us to
speculatively access memory out-of-bounds (r261331). We did this by ensuring
each load group had an access corresponding to the first and last member.
Instead of bailing out for these interleaved groups, this patch enables us to
peel off the last vector iteration, ensuring that we execute at least one
iteration of the scalar remainder loop. This solution was proposed in the
review of the previous patch.

I really thought we were doing this already, but we were not. Given this input:
void Test(int *res, int *c, int *d, int *p) {
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
res[i] = (p[i] == 0) ? res[i] : res[i] + d[i];
}
we did not vectorize the loop. Even with "assume_safety" the check that we
don't if-convert conditionally-executed loads (to protect against
data-dependent deferenceability) was not elided.
One subtlety: As implemented, it will still prefer to use a masked-load
instrinsic (given target support) over the speculated load. The choice here
seems architecture specific; the best option depends on how expensive the
masked load is compared to a regular load. Ideally, using the masked load still
reduces unnecessary memory traffic, and so should be preferred. If we'd rather
do it the other way, flipping the order of the checks is easy.
The LangRef is updated to make explicit that llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access also
implies that if conversion is okay.

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.

Some SIMD implementations are not IEEE-754 compliant, for example ARM's NEON.
This patch teaches the loop vectorizer to only allow transformations of loops
that either contain no floating-point operations or have enough allowance
flags supporting lack of precision (ex. -ffast-math, Darwin).
For that, the target description now has a method which tells us if the
vectorizer is allowed to handle FP math without falling into unsafe
representations, plus a check on every FP instruction in the candidate loop
to check for the safety flags.
This commit makes LLVM behave like GCC with respect to ARM NEON support, but
it stops short of fixing the underlying problem: sub-normals. Neither GCC
nor LLVM have a flag for allowing sub-normal operations. Before this patch,
GCC only allows it using unsafe-math flags and LLVM allows it by default with
no way to turn it off (short of not using NEON at all).
As a first step, we push this change to make it safe and in sync with GCC.
The second step is to discuss a new sub-normal's flag on both communitues
and come up with a common solution. The third step is to improve the FastMath
flags in LLVM to encode sub-normals and use those flags to restrict NEON FP.
Fixes PR16275.

This is a resubmittion of 263158 change.
This patch fixes the problem which occurs when loop-vectorize tries to use @llvm.masked.load/store intrinsic for a non-default addrspace pointer. It fails with "Calling a function with a bad signature!" assertion in CallInst constructor because it tries to pass a non-default addrspace pointer to the pointer argument which has default addrspace.
The fix is to add pointer type as another overloaded type to @llvm.masked.load/store intrinsics.

This patch ensures that when we detect first-order recurrences, we reject a phi
node if its previous value is also a phi node. During vectorization the initial
and previous values of the recurrence are shuffled together to create the value
for the current iteration. However, phi nodes are not widened like other
instructions. This fixes PR27246.

InstCombine cannot effectively remove redundant assumptions without them
registered in the assumption cache. The vectorizer can create identical
assumptions but doesn't register them with the cache, resulting in
slower compile times because InstCombine tries to reason about a lot
more assumptions.
Fix this by registering the cloned assumptions.

This re-commits r265535 which was reverted in r265541 because it
broke the windows bots. The problem was that we had a PointerIntPair
which took a pointer to a struct allocated with new. The problem
was that new doesn't provide sufficient alignment guarantees.
This pattern was already present before r265535 and it just happened
to work. To fix this, we now separate the PointerToIntPair from the
ExitNotTakenInfo struct into a pointer and a bool.
Original commit message:
Summary:
When the backedge taken codition is computed from an icmp, SCEV can
deduce the backedge taken count only if one of the sides of the icmp
is an AddRecExpr. However, due to sign/zero extensions, we sometimes
end up with something that is not an AddRecExpr.
However, we can use SCEV predicates to produce a 'guarded' expression.
This change adds a method to SCEV to get this expression, and the
SCEV predicate associated with it.
In HowManyGreaterThans and HowManyLessThans we will now add a SCEV
predicate associated with the guarded backedge taken count when the
analyzed SCEV expression is not an AddRecExpr. Note that we only do
this as an alternative to returning a 'CouldNotCompute'.
We use new feature in Loop Access Analysis and LoopVectorize to analyze
and transform more loops.

To quote the langref "Unlike sqrt in libm, however, llvm.sqrt has
undefined behavior for negative numbers other than -0.0 (which allows
for better optimization, because there is no need to worry about errno
being set). llvm.sqrt(-0.0) is defined to return -0.0 like IEEE sqrt."
This means that it's unsafe to replace sqrt with llvm.sqrt unless the
call is annotated with nnan.
Thanks to Hal Finkel for pointing this out!

This mostly cosmetic patch moves the DebugEmissionKind enum from DIBuilder
into DICompileUnit. DIBuilder is not the right place for this enum to live
in — a metadata consumer should not have to include DIBuilder.h.
I also added a Verifier check that checks that the emission kind of a

This change prevents the loop vectorizer from vectorizing when all of the vector
types it generates will be scalarized. I've run into this problem on the PPC's QPX
vector ISA, which only holds floating-point vector types. The loop vectorizer
will, however, happily vectorize loops with purely integer computation. Here's
an example:

LV: Selecting VF: 8.
LV: The target has 32 registers
LV(REG): Calculating max register usage:
LV(REG): At #0 Interval # 0
LV(REG): At #1 Interval # 1
LV(REG): At #2 Interval # 2
LV(REG): At #4 Interval # 1
LV(REG): At #5 Interval # 1
LV(REG): VF = 8
The problem is that the cost model here is not wrong, exactly. Since all of
these operations are scalarized, their cost (aside from the uniform ones) are
indeed VF*(scalar cost), just as the model suggests. In fact, the larger the VF
picked, the lower the relative overhead from the loop itself (and the
induction-variable update and check), and so in a sense, picking the largest VF
here is the right thing to do.
The problem is that vectorizing like this, where all of the vectors will be
scalarized in the backend, isn't really vectorizing, but rather interleaving.
By itself, this would be okay, but then the vectorizer itself also interleaves,
and that's where the problem manifests itself. There's aren't actually enough
scalar registers to support the normal interleave factor multiplied by a factor
of VF (8 in this example). In other words, the problem with this is that our
register-pressure heuristic does not account for scalarization.
While we might want to improve our register-pressure heuristic, I don't think
this is the right motivating case for that work. Here we have a more-basic
problem: The job of the vectorizer is to vectorize things (interleaving aside),
and if the IR it generates won't generate any actual vector code, then
something is wrong. Thus, if every type looks like it will be scalarized (i.e.
will be split into VF or more parts), then don't consider that VF.
This is not a problem specific to PPC/QPX, however. The problem comes up under
SSE on x86 too, and as such, this change fixes PR26837 too. I've added Sanjay's
reduced test case from PR26837 to this commit.

We already try not to truncate PHIs in computeMinimalBitwidths. LoopVectorize can't handle it and we really don't need to, because both induction and reduction PHIs are truncated by other means.
However, we weren't bailing out in all the places we should have, and we ended up by returning a PHI to be truncated, which has caused PR27018.
This fixes PR17018.

Reject the following IR as malformed (assuming that %entry, %next are
not in a loop):
next:
%y = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ]
%x = phi i32 [ %y, %entry ]
Such PHI nodes came up in PR26718. While there was no consensus on
whether or not this is valid IR, most opinions on that bug and in a
discussion on the llvm-dev mailing list tended towards a
"strict interpretation" (term by Joseph Tremoulet) of PHI node uses.
Also, the language reference explicitly states that "the use of each
incoming value is deemed to occur on the edge from the corresponding
predecessor block to the current block" and
`DominatorTree::dominates(Instruction*, Use&)` uses this definition as
well.
For the code mentioned in PR15384, clang does not compile to such PHIs
(anymore?). The test case still hangs when replacing `%tmp6` with `%tmp`
in revisions before r176366 (where PR15384 has been fixed). The
occurrence of %tmp6 therefore was probably unintentional. Its value is
not used except in other PHIs.

Summary:
Use the new LoopVersioning facility (D16712) to add noalias metadata in
the vector loop if we versioned with memchecks. This can enable some
optimization opportunities further down the pipeline (see the included
test or the benchmark improvement quoted in D16712).
The test also covers the bug I had in the initial version in D16712.
The vectorizer did not previously use LoopVersioning. The reason is
that the vectorizer performs its transformations in single shot. It
creates an empty single-block vector loop that it then populates with
the widened, if-converted instructions. Thus creating an intermediate
versioned scalar loop seems wasteful.
So this patch (rather than bringing in LoopVersioning fully) adds a
special interface to LoopVersioning to allow the vectorizer to add
no-alias annotation while still performing its own versioning.
As the vectorizer propagates metadata from the instructions in the
original loop to the vector instructions we also check the pointer in
the original instruction and see if LoopVersioning can add no-alias
metadata based on the issued memchecks.
