(and that whole thread.)
TLDR: the original patch had no prior RFC, yet it had some changes that
really need a proper RFC discussion. It won't be productive to discuss
such an RFC, once it's actually posted, while said patch is already
committed, because that introduces bias towards already-committed stuff,
and the tree is potentially in broken state meanwhile.
While the end result of discussion may lead back to the current design,
it may also not lead to the current design.
Therefore i take it upon myself
to revert the tree back to last known good state.

This is recommit of the patch 16ff91ebcc,
reverted in 0c28a7c990 because it had
an error in call of getFastMathFlags (base type should be FPMathOperator
but not Instruction). The original commit message is duplicated below:
Clang has builtin function '__builtin_isnan', which implements C
library function 'isnan'. This function now is implemented entirely in
clang codegen, which expands the function into set of IR operations.
There are three mechanisms by which the expansion can be made.
* The most common mechanism is using an unordered comparison made by
instruction 'fcmp uno'. This simple solution is target-independent
and works well in most cases. It however is not suitable if floating
point exceptions are tracked. Corresponding IEEE 754 operation and C
function must never raise FP exception, even if the argument is a
signaling NaN. Compare instructions usually does not have such
property, they raise 'invalid' exception in such case. So this
mechanism is unsuitable when exception behavior is strict. In
particular it could result in unexpected trapping if argument is SNaN.
* Another solution was implemented in https://reviews.llvm.org/D95948.
It is used in the cases when raising FP exceptions by 'isnan' is not
allowed. This solution implements 'isnan' using integer operations.
It solves the problem of exceptions, but offers one solution for all
targets, however some can do the check in more efficient way.
* Solution implemented by https://reviews.llvm.org/D96568 introduced a
hook 'clang::TargetCodeGenInfo::testFPKind', which injects target
specific code into IR. Now only SystemZ implements this hook and it
generates a call to target specific intrinsic function.
Although these mechanisms allow to implement 'isnan' with enough
efficiency, expanding 'isnan' in clang has drawbacks:
* The operation 'isnan' is hidden behind generic integer operations or
target-specific intrinsics. It complicates analysis and can prevent
some optimizations.
* IR can be created by tools other than clang, in this case treatment
of 'isnan' has to be duplicated in that tool.
Another issue with the current implementation of 'isnan' comes from the
use of options '-ffast-math' or '-fno-honor-nans'. If such option is
specified, 'fcmp uno' may be optimized to 'false'. It is valid
optimization in general, but it results in 'isnan' always returning
'false'. For example, in some libc++ implementations the following code
returns 'false':
std::isnan(std::numeric_limits<float>::quiet_NaN())
The options '-ffast-math' and '-fno-honor-nans' imply that FP operation
operands are never NaNs. This assumption however should not be applied
to the functions that check FP number properties, including 'isnan'. If
such function returns expected result instead of actually making
checks, it becomes useless in many cases. The option '-ffast-math' is
often used for performance critical code, as it can speed up execution
by the expense of manual treatment of corner cases. If 'isnan' returns
assumed result, a user cannot use it in the manual treatment of NaNs
and has to invent replacements, like making the check using integer
operations. There is a discussion in https://reviews.llvm.org/D18513#387418,
which also expresses the opinion, that limitations imposed by
'-ffast-math' should be applied only to 'math' functions but not to
'tests'.
To overcome these drawbacks, this change introduces a new IR intrinsic
function 'llvm.isnan', which realizes the check as specified by IEEE-754
and C standards in target-agnostic way. During IR transformations it
does not undergo undesirable optimizations. It reaches instruction
selection, where is lowered in target-dependent way. The lowering can
vary depending on options like '-ffast-math' or '-ffp-model' so the
resulting code satisfies requested semantics.

D106850 introduced a simplification for llvm.vscale by looking at the
surrounding function's vscale_range attributes. The call that's being
simplified may not yet have been inserted into the IR. This happens for
example during function cloning.
This patch fixes the issue by checking if the instruction is in a
parent basic block.
Constfold constrained variants of operations fadd, fsub, fmul, fdiv,
frem, fma and fmuladd.
The change also sets up some means to support for removal of unused
constrained intrinsics. They are declared as accessing memory to model
interaction with floating point environment, so they were not removed,
as they have side effect. Now constrained intrinsics that have
"fpexcept.ignore" as exception behavior are removed if they have no uses.
As for intrinsics that have exception behavior other than "fpexcept.ignore",
they can be removed if it is known that they do not raise floating point
exceptions. It happens when doing constant folding, attributes of such
intrinsic are changed so that the intrinsic is not claimed as accessing
memory.

Currently InstructionSimplify.cpp knows how to simplify floating point
instructions that have a NaN operand. It does not know how to handle the
matching constrained FP intrinsic.
This patch teaches it how to simplify so long as the exception handling
is not "fpexcept.strict".

If any operand of a math op is poison, that takes
precedence over general undef/NaN.
This should not be visible with binary ops because
it requires 2 constant operands to trigger (and if
both operands of a binop are constant, that should
get handled first in ConstantFolding).
We already have a fold for variable index with constant vector,
but if we can determine a scalar splat value, then it does not
matter whether that value is constant or not.
We overlooked this fold in D102404 and earlier patches,
but the fixed vector variant is shown in:
https://llvm.org/PR50817
Alive2 agrees on that:

The same logic applies to scalable vectors.

This borrows as much as possible from the SDAG version of the code
(originally added with D27129 and since updated with big endian support).
In IR, we can test more easily for correctness than we did in the
original patch. I'm using the simplest cases that I could find for
InstSimplify: we computeKnownBits on variable shift amounts to see if
they are zero or in range. So shuffle constant elements into a vector,
cast it, and shift it.
The motivating x86 example from https://llvm.org/PR50123 is also here.
We computeKnownBits in the caller code, but we only check if the shift
amount is in range. That could be enhanced to catch the 2nd x86 test -
if the shift amount is known too big, the result is 0.
Alive2 understands the datalayout and agrees that the tests here are
correct - example:

This adds more poison folding optimizations to InstSimplify.
Since all binary operators propagate poison, these are fine.
Also, the precondition of `select cond, undef, x` -> `x` is relaxed to allow the case when `x` is undef.

In D103169 I'm adding to InstSimplify support for NaN to constrained
intrinsics that have a regular FP IR instruction counterpart. Precommit
the tests for clarity when that ticket lands.
This can be seen as a follow up to commit 0ee439b705,
that changed the second argument of __powidf2, __powisf2 and
__powitf2 in compiler-rt from si_int to int. That was to align with
how those runtimes are defined in libgcc.
One thing that seem to have been missing in that patch was to make
sure that the rest of LLVM also handle that the argument now depends
on the size of int (not using the si_int machine mode for 32-bit).
When using __builtin_powi for a target with 16-bit int clang crashed.
And when emitting libcalls to those rtlib functions, typically when
lowering @llvm.powi), the backend would always prepare the exponent
argument as an i32 which caused miscompiles when the rtlib was
compiled with 16-bit int.
The solution used here is to use an overloaded type for the second
argument in @llvm.powi. This way clang can use the "correct" type
when lowering __builtin_powi, and then later when emitting the libcall
it is assumed that the type used in @llvm.powi matches the rtlib
function.
One thing that needed some extra attention was that when vectorizing
calls several passes did not support that several arguments could
be overloaded in the intrinsics. This patch allows overload of a
scalar operand by adding hasVectorInstrinsicOverloadedScalarOpd, with
an entry for powi.

We already have this fold:
fadd float poison, 1.0 --> poison
...via ConstantFolding, so this makes the behavior consistent
if the other operand(s) are non-constant.
The fold for undef was added before poison existed as a
value/type in IR.
This came up in D102673 / D103169
because we're trying to sort out the more complicated handling
for constrained math ops.
We should have the handling for the regular instructions done
first, so we can build on that (or diverge as needed).

We can look through invariant group intrinsics for the purposes of
simplifying the result of a load.
Since intrinsics can't be constants, but we also don't want to
completely rewrite load constant folding, we convert the load operand to
a constant. For GEPs and bitcasts we just treat them as constants. For
invariant group intrinsics, we treat them as a bitcast.
Relanding with a check for self-referential values.

MSVC-style RTTI produces loads through a GEP of a local alias which
itself is a GEP. Currently we aren't able to devirtualize any virtual
calls when MSVC RTTI is enabled.
This patch attempts to simplify a load's GEP operand by calling
SymbolicallyEvaluateGEP() with an option to look through local aliases.

The semantics of select with undefined/poison condition
are not explicitly stated in the LangRef, but this matches
comments in the code and Alive2 appears to concur:
https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/KXytmd
We can find this pattern after demanded elements transforms.
As noted in D101191, fuzzers are finding infinite loops because
we may not account for this pattern in other passes.
This follows from the underlying logic for binops and min/max.
Although it does not appear that we handle this for min/max
intrinsics currently.
