Not all instructions define a virtual register in their first operand.
Specifically, INLINEASM has a different format.

When the CFG contains a loop with multiple entry blocks, the traces
computed by MachineTraceMetrics don't always have the same nice
properties. Loop back-edges are normally excluded from traces, but
MachineLoopInfo doesn't recognize loops with multiple entry blocks, so
those back-edges may be included.
Avoid asserting when that happens by adding an isEarlierInSameTrace()
function that accurately determines if a dominating block is part of the
same trace AND is above the currrent block in the trace.

Trace::getResourceLength() computes the number of cycles required to
execute the trace when ignoring data dependencies. The number can be
compared to the critical path to estimate the trace ILP.
Trace::getPHIDepth() computes the data dependency depth of a PHI in a
trace successor that isn't necessarily part of the trace.

Compare the critical paths of the two traces through an if-conversion
candidate. If the difference is larger than the branch brediction
penalty, reject the if-conversion. If would never pay.

Whenever both instruction depths and instruction heights are known in a
block, it is possible to compute the length of the critical path as
max(depth+height) over the instructions in the block.
The stored live-in lists make it possible to accurately compute the
length of a critical path that bypasses the current (small) block.

The height on an instruction is the minimum number of cycles from the
instruction is issued to the end of the trace. Heights are computed for
all instructions in and below the trace center block.
The method for computing heights is different from the depth
computation. As we visit instructions in the trace bottom-up, heights of
used instructions are pushed upwards. This way, we avoid scanning long
use lists, looking for uses in the current trace.
At each basic block boundary, a list of live-in registers and their
minimum heights is saved in the trace block info. These live-in lists
are used when restarting depth computations on a trace that
converges with an already computed trace. They will also be used to
accurately compute the critical path length.

Assuming infinite issue width, compute the earliest each instruction in
the trace can issue, when considering the latency of data dependencies.
The issue cycle is record as a 'depth' from the beginning of the trace.
This is half the computation required to find the length of the critical
path through the trace. Heights are next.

This is still a work in progress.
Out-of-order CPUs usually execute instructions from multiple basic
blocks simultaneously, so it is necessary to look at longer traces when
estimating the performance effects of code transformations.
The MachineTraceMetrics analysis will pick a typical trace through a
given basic block and provide performance metrics for the trace. Metrics
will include:
- Instruction count through the trace.
- Issue count per functional unit.
- Critical path length, and per-instruction 'slack'.
These metrics can be used to determine the performance limiting factor
when executing the trace, and how it will be affected by a code
transformation.
Initially, this will be used by the early if-conversion pass.
