Fixes PR15570: SEGV: SCEV back-edge info invalid after dead code removal.
Indvars creates a SCEV expression for the loop's back edge taken
count, then determines that the comparison is always true and
removes it.
When loop-unroll asks for the expression, it contains a NULL
SCEVUnknkown (as a CallbackVH).
forgetMemoizedResults should invalidate the loop back edges expression.

The ARM backend currently has poor codegen for long sext/zext
operations, such as v8i8 -> v8i32. This patch addresses this
by performing a custom expansion in ARMISelLowering. It also
adds/changes the cost of such lowering in ARMTTI.
This partially addresses PR14867.

The default logic marks them as too expensive.
For example, before this patch we estimated:
cost of 16 for instruction: %r = uitofp <4 x i16> %v0 to <4 x float>
While this translates to:
vmovl.u16 q8, d16
vcvt.f32.u32 q8, q8
All other costs are left to the values assigned by the fallback logic. Theses
costs are mostly reasonable in the sense that they get progressively more
expensive as the instruction sequences emitted get longer.

I was too pessimistic in r177105. Vector selects that fit into a legal register
type lower just fine. I was mislead by the code fragment that I was using. The
stores/loads that I saw in those cases came from lowering the conditional off
an address.
Changing the code fragment to:
%T0_3 = type <8 x i18>
%T1_3 = type <8 x i1>
define void @func_blend3(%T0_3* %loadaddr, %T0_3* %loadaddr2,
%T1_3* %blend, %T0_3* %storeaddr) {
%v0 = load %T0_3* %loadaddr
%v1 = load %T0_3* %loadaddr2
==> FROM:
;%c = load %T1_3* %blend
==> TO:
%c = icmp slt %T0_3 %v0, %v1
==> USE:
%r = select %T1_3 %c, %T0_3 %v0, %T0_3 %v1
store %T0_3 %r, %T0_3* %storeaddr
ret void

Summary:
Statistics are still available in Release+Asserts (any +Asserts builds),
and stats can also be turned on with LLVM_ENABLE_STATS.
Move some of the FastISel stats that were moved under DEBUG()
back out of DEBUG(), since stats are disabled across the board now.
Many tests depend on grepping "-stats" output. Move those into
a orig_dir/Stats/. so that they can be marked as unsupported
when building without statistics.

The "invariant.load" metadata indicates the memory unit being accessed is immutable.
A load annotated with this metadata can be moved across any store.
As I am not sure if it is legal to move such loads across barrier/fence, this

This matters for example in following matrix multiply:
int **mmult(int rows, int cols, int **m1, int **m2, int **m3) {
int i, j, k, val;
for (i=0; i<rows; i++) {
for (j=0; j<cols; j++) {
val = 0;
for (k=0; k<cols; k++) {
val += m1[i][k] * m2[k][j];
}
m3[i][j] = val;
}
}
return(m3);
}
Taken from the test-suite benchmark Shootout.
We estimate the cost of the multiply to be 2 while we generate 9 instructions
for it and end up being quite a bit slower than the scalar version (48% on my
machine).
Also, properly differentiate between avx1 and avx2. On avx-1 we still split the
vector into 2 128bits and handle the subvector muls like above with 9
instructions.
Only on avx-2 will we have a cost of 9 for v4i64.
I changed the test case in test/Transforms/LoopVectorize/X86/avx1.ll to use an
add instead of a mul because with a mul we now no longer vectorize. I did
verify that the mul would be indeed more expensive when vectorized with 3
kernels:
for (i ...)
r += a[i] * 3;
for (i ...)
m1[i] = m1[i] * 3; // This matches the test case in avx1.ll
and a matrix multiply.
In each case the vectorized version was considerably slower.

Adds a function to target transform info to query for the cost of address
computation. The cost model analysis pass now also queries this interface.
The code in LoopVectorize adds the cost of address computation as part of the
memory instruction cost calculation. Only there, we know whether the instruction
will be scalarized or not.
Increase the penality for inserting in to D registers on swift. This becomes
necessary because we now always assume that address computation has a cost and
three is a closer value to the architecture.

Swift has a renaming dependency if we load into D subregisters. We don't have a

This is a partial solution to PR14351. It removes some of the special
significance of the first incoming phi value in the phi aliasing checking logic
in BasicAA. In the context of a loop, the old logic assumes that the first
incoming value is the interesting one (meaning that it is the one that comes
from outside the loop), but this is often not the case. With this change, we
now test first the incoming value that comes from a block other than the parent
of the phi being tested.

Patch from Preston Briggs <preston.briggs@gmail.com>.
This is an updated version of the dependence-analysis patch, including an MIV
test based on Banerjee's inequalities.
It's a fairly complete implementation of the paper
Practical Dependence Testing
Gina Goff, Ken Kennedy, and Chau-Wen Tseng
PLDI 1991
It cannot yet propagate constraints between coupled RDIV subscripts (discussed
in Section 5.3.2 of the paper).
It's organized as a FunctionPass with a single entry point that supports testing
for dependence between two instructions in a function. If there's no dependence,
it returns null. If there's a dependence, it returns a pointer to a Dependence
which can be queried about details (what kind of dependence, is it loop
independent, direction and distance vector entries, etc). I haven't included
every imaginable feature, but there's a good selection that should be adequate
for supporting many loop transformations. Of course, it can be extended as
necessary.
Included in the patch file are many test cases, commented with C code showing
the loops and array references.

Enhances basic alias analysis to recognize phis whose first incoming values are
NoAlias and whose other incoming values are just the phi node itself through
some amount of recursion.
Example: With this change basicaa reports that ptr_phi and ptr_phi2 do not alias
each other.
bb:
ptr = ptr2 + 1
loop:
ptr_phi = phi [bb, ptr], [loop, ptr_plus_one]
ptr2_phi = phi [bb, ptr2], [loop, ptr2_plus_one]
...
ptr_plus_one = gep ptr_phi, 1
ptr2_plus_one = gep ptr2_phi, 1
This enables the elimination of one load in code like the following:
extern int foo;
int test_noalias(int *ptr, int num, int* coeff) {
int *ptr2 = ptr;
int result = (*ptr++) * (*coeff--);
while (num--) {
*ptr2++ = *ptr;
result += (*coeff--) * (*ptr++);
}
*ptr = foo;
return result;
}

luck, to be able to deal with all the TCL-quoting patterns in evidence
in the LLVM test suite.
If anyone is maintaining large out-of-tree test trees, feel free to poke
me and I'll send you the steps I used to convert things, as well as
answer any painful questions etc. IRC works best for this type of thing

Once converted, switch the LLVM lit config to use ShTests the same as

from 'lit', this will also simplify the entire test suite and some of

especially interesting for function calls.
Use this to fix 'nocapture' deduction in FunctionAttrs. The existing one does
not iterate until a fixpoint and does not guarantee that it produces the same
result regardless of iteration order. The new implementation builds up a graph
of how arguments are passed from function to function, and uses a bottom-up walk
on the argument-SCCs to assign nocapture. This gets us nocapture more often, and
does so rather efficiently and independent of iteration order.

I followed three heuristics for deciding whether to set 'true' or
'false':
- Everything target independent got 'true' as that is the expected
common output of the GCC builtins.
- If the target arch only has one way of implementing this operation,
set the flag in the way that exercises the most of codegen. For most
architectures this is also the likely path from a GCC builtin, with
'true' being set. It will (eventually) require lowering away that
difference, and then lowering to the architecture's operation.
- Otherwise, set the flag differently dependending on which target
operation should be tested.
Let me know if anyone has any issue with this pattern or would like
specific tests of another form. This should allow the x86 codegen to
just iteratively improve as I teach the backend how to differentiate
between the two forms, and everything else should remain exactly the
same.

Enhance SCEV's brute force loop analysis to handle multiple PHI nodes in the
loop header when computing the trip count.
With this, we now constant evaluate:
struct ListNode { const struct ListNode *next; int i; };
static const struct ListNode node1 = {0, 1};
static const struct ListNode node2 = {&node1, 2};
static const struct ListNode node3 = {&node2, 3};
int test() {
int sum = 0;
for (const struct ListNode *n = &node3; n != 0; n = n->next)
sum += n->i;
return sum;
}
- Now that we look at all the header PHIs, we need to consider all the header PHIs
when deciding that the loop has stopped evolving. Fixes miscompile in the gcc
torture testsuite!

classifying many edges as exiting which were in fact not. These mainly
formed edges into sub-loops. It was also not correctly classifying all
returning edges out of loops as leaving the loop. With this match most
of the loop heuristics are more rational.
Several serious regressions on loop-intesive benchmarks like perlbench's
loop tests when built with -enable-block-placement are fixed by these
updated heuristics. Unfortunately they in turn uncover some other
regressions. There are still several improvemenst that should be made to
loop heuristics including trip-count, and early back-edge management.

introduce no-return or unreachable heuristics.
The return heuristics from the Ball and Larus paper don't work well in
practice as they pessimize early return paths. The only good hitrate
return heuristics are those for:
- NULL return
- Constant return
- negative integer return
Only the last of these three can possibly require significant code for
the returning block, and even the last is fairly rare and usually also
a constant. As a consequence, even for the cold return paths, there is
little code on that return path, and so little code density to be gained
by sinking it. The places where sinking these blocks is valuable (inner
loops) will already be weighted appropriately as the edge is a loop-exit
branch.
All of this aside, early returns are nearly as common as all three of
these return categories, and should actually be predicted as taken!
Rather than muddy the waters of the static predictions, just remain
silent on returns and let the CFG itself dictate any layout or other
issues.
However, the return heuristic was flagging one very important case:
unreachable. Unfortunately it still gave a 1/4 chance of the
branch-to-unreachable occuring. It also didn't do a rigorous job of
finding those blocks which post-dominate an unreachable block.
This patch builds a more powerful analysis that should flag all branches
to blocks known to then reach unreachable. It also has better worst-case
runtime complexity by not looping through successors for each block. The
previous code would perform an N^2 walk in the event of a single entry
block branching to N successors with a switch where each successor falls
through to the next and they finally fall through to a return.
Test case added for noreturn heuristics. Also doxygen comments improved
along the way.
