These heuristics are sufficient for enabling IV chains by
default. Performance analysis has been done for i386, x86_64, and
thumbv7. The optimization is rarely important, but can significantly
speed up certain cases by eliminating spill code within the
loop. Unrolled loops are prime candidates for IV chains. In many
cases, the final code could still be improved with more target
specific optimization following LSR. The goal of this feature is for
LSR to make the best choice of induction variables.
Instruction selection may not completely take advantage of this
feature yet. As a result, there could be cases of slight code size
increase.
Code size can be worse on x86 because it doesn't support postincrement
addressing. In fact, when chains are formed, you may see redundant
address plus stride addition in the addressing mode. GenerateIVChains
tries to compensate for the common cases.
On ARM, code size increase can be mitigated by using postincrement
addressing, but downstream codegen currently misses some opportunities.

After collecting chains, check if any should be materialized. If so,
hide the chained IV users from the LSR solver. LSR will only solve for
the head of the chain. GenerateIVChains will then materialize the
chained IV users by computing the IV relative to its previous value in
the chain.
In theory, chained IV users could be exposed to LSR's solver. This
would be considerably complicated to implement and I'm not aware of a
case where we need it. In practice it's more important to
intelligently prune the search space of nontrivial loops before
running the solver, otherwise the solver is often forced to prune the
most optimal solutions. Hiding the chained users does this well, so
that LSR is more likely to find the best IV for the chain as a whole.

This collects a set of IV uses within the loop whose values can be

indicates whether the intrinsic has a defined result for a first
argument equal to zero. This will eventually allow these intrinsics to
accurately model the semantics of GCC's __builtin_ctz and __builtin_clz
and the X86 instructions (prior to AVX) which implement them.
This patch merely sets the stage by extending the signature of these
intrinsics and establishing auto-upgrade logic so that the old spelling
still works both in IR and in bitcode. The upgrade logic preserves the
existing (inefficient) semantics. This patch should not change any
behavior. CodeGen isn't updated because it can use the existing
semantics regardless of the flag's value.
Note that this will be followed by API updates to Clang and DragonEgg.

Patch by Brendon Cahoon!
This extends the existing LoopUnroll and LoopUnrollPass. Brendon
measured no regressions in the llvm test suite with -unroll-runtime
enabled. This implementation works by using the existing loop
unrolling code to unroll the loop by a power-of-two (default 8). It
generates an if-then-else sequence of code prior to the loop to
execute the extra iterations before entering the unrolled loop.

branch "br i1 %x, label %if_true, label %if_false" then it replaces
"%x" with "true" in places only reachable via the %if_true arm, and
with "false" in places only reachable via the %if_false arm. Except
that actually it doesn't: if value numbering shows that %y is equal
to %x then, yes, %y will be turned into true/false in this way, but
any occurrences of %x itself are not transformed. Fix this. What's
more, it's often the case that %x is an equality comparison such as
"%x = icmp eq %A, 0", in which case every occurrence of %A that is
only reachable via the %if_true arm can be replaced with 0. Implement
this and a few other variations on this theme. This reduces the number
of lines of LLVM IR in "GCC as one big file" by 0.2%. It has a bigger
impact on Ada code, typically reducing the number of lines of bitcode
by around 0.4% by removing repeated compiler generated checks. Passes
