This reverts commit r207287, reapplying r207286.
I'm hoping that declaring an explicit struct and instantiating
`addBlockEdges()` directly works around the GCC crash from r207286.
This is a lot more boilerplate, though.

Previously, irreducible backedges were ignored. With this commit,
irreducible SCCs are discovered on the fly, and modelled as loops with
multiple headers.
This approximation specifies the headers of irreducible sub-SCCs as its
entry blocks and all nodes that are targets of a backedge within it
(excluding backedges within true sub-loops). Block frequency
calculations act as if we insert a new block that intercepts all the
edges to the headers. All backedges and entries to the irreducible SCC
point to this imaginary block. This imaginary block has an edge (with
even probability) to each header block.
The result is now reasonable enough that I've added a number of
testcases for irreducible control flow. I've outlined in
`BlockFrequencyInfoImpl.h` ways to improve the approximation.

Move a lot of the loop-related logic that was sprinkled around the code
into `LoopData`.

Remove the concepts of "forward" and "general" mass distributions, which
was wrong. The split might have made sense in an early version of the
algorithm, but it's definitely wrong now.

Rather than scaling loop headers and then scaling all the loop members
by the header frequency, scale `LoopData::Scale` itself, and scale the
loop members by it. It's much more obvious what's going on this way,
and doesn't cost any extra multiplies.

As pointed out by David Blaikie in code review, a `std::list<T>` is
simpler than a `std::vector<std::unique_ptr<T>>`. Another option is a
`std::deque<T>` (which allocates in chunks), but I'd like to leave open
the option of inserting in the middle of the sequence for handling
irreducible control flow on the fly.

The branch that skips irreducible backedges was only active when
propagating mass at the top-level. In particular, when propagating mass
through a loop recognized by `LoopInfo` with irreducible control flow
inside, irreducible backedges would not be skipped.
Not sure where that idea came from, but the result was that mass was
lost until after loop exit. Added a testcase that covers this case.

Store pointers directly to loops inside the nodes. This could have been
done without changing the type stored in `std::vector<>`. However,
rather than computing the number of loops before constructing them
(which `LoopInfo` doesn't provide directly), I've switched to a
`vector<unique_ptr<LoopData>>`.
This adds some heap overhead, but the number of loops is typically
small.

This was implicitly with copy assignment before, which fails to actually
clear `std::vector<>`'s heap storage. Move assignment would work, but
since MSVC can't imply those anyway, explicitly `clear()`-ing members
makes more sense.

define below all header includes in the lib/CodeGen/... tree. While the
current modules implementation doesn't check for this kind of ODR
violation yet, it is likely to grow support for it in the future. It
also removes one layer of macro pollution across all the included
headers.
Other sub-trees will follow.

This reverts commit r206707, reapplying r206704. The preceding commit
to CalcSpillWeights should have sorted out the failing buildbots.

This reverts commit r206677, reapplying my BlockFrequencyInfo rewrite.
I've done a careful audit, added some asserts, and fixed a couple of
bugs (unfortunately, they were in unlikely code paths). There's a small
chance that this will appease the failing bots [1][2]. (If so, great!)
If not, I have a follow-up commit ready that will temporarily add
-debug-only=block-freq to the two failing tests, allowing me to compare
the code path between what the failing bots and what my machines (and
the rest of the bots) are doing. Once I've triggered those builds, I'll
revert both commits so the bots go green again.

This reverts commit r206666, as planned.
Still stumped on why the bots are failing. Sanitizer bots haven't
turned anything up. If anyone can help me debug either of the failures
(referenced in r206666) I'll owe them a beer. (In the meantime, I'll be
auditing my patch for undefined behaviour.)

This reverts commit r206628, reapplying r206622 (and r206626).
Two tests are failing only on buildbots [1][2]: i.e., I can't reproduce
on Darwin, and Chandler can't reproduce on Linux. Asan and valgrind
don't tell us anything, but we're hoping the msan bot will catch it.
So, I'm applying this again to get more feedback from the bots. I'll
leave it in long enough to trigger builds in at least the sanitizer
buildbots (it was failing for reasons unrelated to my commit last time
it was in), and hopefully a few others.... and then I expect to revert a
third time.

This reverts commit r206622 and the MSVC fixup in r206626.
Apparently the remotely failing tests are still failing, despite my
attempt to fix the nondeterminism in r206621.

This reverts commit r206556, effectively reapplying commit r206548 and
its fixups in r206549 and r206550.
In an intervening commit I've added target triples to the tests that
were failing remotely [1] (but passing locally). I'm hoping the mystery
is solved? I'll revert this again if the tests are still failing
remotely.

Rewrite the shared implementation of BlockFrequencyInfo and
MachineBlockFrequencyInfo entirely.
The old implementation had a fundamental flaw: precision losses from
nested loops (or very wide branches) compounded past loop exits (and
convergence points).
The @nested_loops testcase at the end of
test/Analysis/BlockFrequencyAnalysis/basic.ll is motivating. This
function has three nested loops, with branch weights in the loop headers
of 1:4000 (exit:continue). The old analysis gives non-sensical results:
Printing analysis 'Block Frequency Analysis' for function 'nested_loops':
---- Block Freqs ----
entry = 1.0
for.cond1.preheader = 1.00103
for.cond4.preheader = 5.5222
for.body6 = 18095.19995
for.inc8 = 4.52264
for.inc11 = 0.00109
for.end13 = 0.0
The new analysis gives correct results:
Printing analysis 'Block Frequency Analysis' for function 'nested_loops':
block-frequency-info: nested_loops
- entry: float = 1.0, int = 8
- for.cond1.preheader: float = 4001.0, int = 32007
- for.cond4.preheader: float = 16008001.0, int = 128064007
- for.body6: float = 64048012001.0, int = 512384096007
- for.inc8: float = 16008001.0, int = 128064007
- for.inc11: float = 4001.0, int = 32007
- for.end13: float = 1.0, int = 8
Most importantly, the frequency leaving each loop matches the frequency
entering it.
The new algorithm leverages BlockMass and PositiveFloat to maintain
precision, separates "probability mass distribution" from "loop
scaling", and uses dithering to eliminate probability mass loss. I have
unit tests for these types out of tree, but it was decided in the review
to make the classes private to BlockFrequencyInfoImpl, and try to shrink
them (or remove them entirely) in follow-up commits.
The new algorithm should generally have a complexity advantage over the
old. The previous algorithm was quadratic in the worst case. The new
algorithm is still worst-case quadratic in the presence of irreducible
control flow, but it's linear without it.
The key difference between the old algorithm and the new is that control
flow within a loop is evaluated separately from control flow outside,
limiting propagation of precision problems and allowing loop scale to be
calculated independently of mass distribution. Loops are visited
bottom-up, their loop scales are calculated, and they are replaced by
pseudo-nodes. Mass is then distributed through the function, which is
now a DAG. Finally, loops are revisited top-down to multiply through
the loop scales and the masses distributed to pseudo nodes.
There are some remaining flaws.
- Irreducible control flow isn't modelled correctly. LoopInfo and
MachineLoopInfo ignore irreducible edges, so this algorithm will
fail to scale accordingly. There's a note in the class
documentation about how to get closer. See also the comments in
test/Analysis/BlockFrequencyInfo/irreducible.ll.
- Loop scale is limited to 4096 per loop (2^12) to avoid exhausting
the 64-bit integer precision used downstream.
- The "bias" calculation proposed on llvmdev is *not* incorporated
here. This will be added in a follow-up commit, once comments from
this review have been handled.
