Both run-time pointer checking and the dependence analysis are capable
of dealing with uniform addresses. I.e. it's really just an orthogonal
property of the loop that the analysis computes.
Run-time pointer checking will only try to reason about SCEVAddRec
pointers or else gives up. If the uniform pointer turns out the be a
SCEVAddRec in an outer loop, the run-time checks generated will be
correct (start and end bounds would be equal).
In case of the dependence analysis, we work again with SCEVs. When
compared against a loop-dependent address of the same underlying object,
the difference of the two SCEVs won't be constant. This will result in
returning an Unknown dependence for the pair.
When compared against another uniform access, the difference would be
constant and we should return the right type of dependence
(forward/backward/etc).
The changes also adds support to query this property of the loop and
modify the vectorizer to use this.

Summary:
This change teaches ScalarEvolution::isLoopBackedgeGuardedByCond to look
at edges within the loop body that dominate the latch. We don't do an
exhaustive search for all possible edges, but only a quick walk up the
dom tree.
This re-lands r233447. r233447 was reverted because it caused massive
compile-time regressions. This change has a fix for the same issue.

Summary:
This is part 1 of fixes to address the problems described in
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22719.
The restriction to limit loop scales to 4,096 does not really prevent
overflows anymore, as the underlying algorithm has changed and does
not seem to suffer from this problem.
Additionally, artificially restricting loop scales to such a low number
skews frequency information, making loops of equal hotness appear to
have very different hotness properties.
The only loops that are artificially restricted to a scale of 4096 are
infinite loops (those loops with an exit mass of 0). This prevents
infinite loops from skewing the frequencies of other regions in the CFG.
At the end of propagation, frequencies are scaled to values that take no
more than 64 bits to represent. When the range of frequencies to be
represented fits within 61 bits, it pushes up the scaling factor to a
minimum of 8 to better distinguish small frequency values. Otherwise,
small frequency values are all saturated down at 1.
Tested on x86_64.

Summary:
ScalarEvolutionExpander assumes that the header block of a loop is a
legal place to have a use for a phi node. This is true only for phis
that are either in the header or dominate the header block, but it is
not true for phi nodes that are strictly internal to the loop body.
This change teaches ScalarEvolutionExpander to place uses of PHI nodes
in the basic block the PHI nodes belong to. This is always legal, and
`hoistIVInc` ensures that the said position dominates `IsomorphicInc`.

Summary:
This removes some duplicated code, and also helps optimization: e.g. in
the test case added, `%idx ULT 128` in `@x` is not currently optimized
to `true` by `-indvars` but will be, after this change.
The only functional change in ths commit is that for add recurrences,
ScalarEvolution::getRange will be more aggressive -- computing the
unsigned (resp. signed) range for a SCEVAddRecExpr will now look at the
NSW (resp. NUW) bits and check for signed (resp. unsigned) overflow.
This can be a strict improvement in some cases (such as the attached
test case), and should be no worse in other cases.

DataLayout keeps the string used for its creation.
As a side effect it is no longer needed in the Module.
This is "almost" NFC, the string is no longer
canonicalized, you can't rely on two "equals" DataLayout
having the same string returned by getStringRepresentation().
Get rid of DataLayoutPass: the DataLayout is in the Module
The DataLayout is "per-module", let's enforce this by not
duplicating it more than necessary.
One more step toward non-optionality of the DataLayout in the
module.
Make DataLayout Non-Optional in the Module

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.
This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.
* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)
* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.
* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.
* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x
Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by
same crappy python code. I had to manually update a few test cases that
wouldn't fit the script's model (r228970,r229196,r229197,r229198). The
python script just massages stdin and writes the result to stdout, I
then wrapped that in a shell script to handle replacing files, then
using the usual find+xargs to migrate all the files.

ibrep = re.compile(r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr inbounds )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")

apply.sh:

The actual commands:
From llvm/src:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
From llvm/src/tools/clang:
find test/ -name *.mm -o -name *.m -o -name *.cpp -o -name *.c | xargs -I '{}' ../../apply.sh "{}"
From llvm/src/tools/polly:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
After that, check-all (with llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, lld,
compiler-rt, and polly all checked out).
The extra 'rm' in the apply.sh script is due to a few files in clang's test
suite using interesting unicode stuff that my python script was throwing
exceptions on. None of those files needed to be migrated, so it seemed
sufficient to ignore those cases.

The LoopInfo in combination with depth_first is used to enumerate the
loops.
Right now -analyze is not yet complete. It only prints the result of
the analysis, the report and the run-time checks. Printing the unsafe
depedences will require a bit more reshuffling which I'd like to do in a
follow-on to this patchset. Unsafe dependences are currently checked
via -debug-only=loop-accesses in the new test.

First, don't combine bit masking into vector shuffles (even ones the
target can handle) once operation legalization has taken place. Custom
legalization of vector shuffles may exist for these patterns (making the
predicate return true) but that custom legalization may in some cases
produce the exact bit math this matches. We only really want to handle
this prior to operation legalization.
However, the x86 backend, in a fit of awesome, relied on this. What it
would do is mark VSELECTs as expand, which would turn them into
arithmetic, which this would then match back into vector shuffles, which
we would then lower properly. Amazing.
Instead, the second change is to teach the x86 backend to directly form
vector shuffles from VSELECT nodes with constant conditions, and to mark
all of the vector types we support lowering blends as shuffles as custom
VSELECT lowering. We still mark the forms which actually support
variable blends as *legal* so that the custom lowering is bypassed, and
the legal lowering can even be used by the vector shuffle legalization
(yes, i know, this is confusing. but that's how the patterns are
written).
This makes the VSELECT lowering much more sensible, and in fact should
fix a bunch of bugs with it. However, as you'll see in the test cases,
right now what it does is point out the *hilarious* deficiency of the
new vector shuffle lowering when it comes to blends. Fortunately, my
very next patch fixes that. I can't submit it yet, because that patch,
somewhat obviously, forms the exact and/or pattern that the DAG combine
is matching here! Without this patch, teaching the vector shuffle
lowering to produce the right code infloops in the DAG combiner. With
this patch alone, we produce terrible code but at least lower through
the right paths. With both patches, all the regressions here should be
fixed, and a bunch of the improvements (like using 2 shufps with no
memory loads instead of 2 andps with memory loads and an orps) will
stay. Win!
There is one other change worth noting here. We had hilariously wrong
vectorization cost estimates for vselect because we fell through to the
code path that assumed all "expand" vector operations are scalarized.
However, the "expand" lowering of VSELECT is vector bit math, most
definitely not scalarized. So now we go back to the correct if horribly
naive cost of "1" for "not scalarized". If anyone wants to add actual
modeling of shuffle costs, that would be cool, but this seems an
improvement on its own. Note the removal of 16 and 32 "costs" for doing
a blend. Even in SSE2 we can blend in fewer than 16 instructions. ;] Of
course, we don't right now because of OMG bad code, but I'm going to fix
that. Next patch. I promise.

is equivalent to {sext X,+,zext Y}. If it can prove that, it also
tags the original {X,+,Y} as <nsw>, which is not correct.
In the test case I run `-scalar-evolution` twice because the bug
manifests only once SCEV has run through and seen the `sext`
expressions (and then does a in-place mutation on {X,+,Y}).

For the attached test case different types are used in the ICmpInst
and SelectInst that represent the min/max expressions. However, if the
ICmpInst type is smaller a comparison with the sign/zero extended
operands would have yielded the same result. This situation might
arise after the instruction combination pass was applied.

add recurrences don't overflow.
This change makes the optimization more restrictive. It still assumes
that an overflowing `add nsw` is undefined behavior; and this change
will need revisiting once we have a consistent semantics for poison
values.

different fields.
We can show that two GEPs off of the same (possibly multidimensional)
array of structs, into different fields, can't alias. Quoting:
For two GEPOperators GEP1 and GEP2, if we find that:
- both GEPs begin indexing from the exact same pointer;
- the last indices in both GEPs are constants, indexing into a struct;
- said indices are different, hence,the pointed-to fields are different;
- and both GEPs only index through arrays prior to that;
this lets us determine that the struct that GEP1 indexes into and the
struct that GEP2 indexes into must either precisely overlap or be
completely disjoint. Because they cannot partially overlap, indexing
into different non-overlapping fields of the struct will never alias.
The other BasicAA::aliasGEP rules worked in some cases, but not all
(for example, the i32x3 struct in the testcase).
We can add this simple ad-hoc rule to complement them.
