I really thought we were doing this already, but we were not. Given this input:
void Test(int *res, int *c, int *d, int *p) {
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
res[i] = (p[i] == 0) ? res[i] : res[i] + d[i];
}
we did not vectorize the loop. Even with "assume_safety" the check that we
don't if-convert conditionally-executed loads (to protect against
data-dependent deferenceability) was not elided.
One subtlety: As implemented, it will still prefer to use a masked-load
instrinsic (given target support) over the speculated load. The choice here
seems architecture specific; the best option depends on how expensive the
masked load is compared to a regular load. Ideally, using the masked load still
reduces unnecessary memory traffic, and so should be preferred. If we'd rather
do it the other way, flipping the order of the checks is easy.
The LangRef is updated to make explicit that llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access also
implies that if conversion is okay.

This patch implements a optimization bisect feature, which will allow optimizations to be selectively disabled at compile time in order to track down test failures that are caused by incorrect optimizations.
The bisection is enabled using a new command line option (-opt-bisect-limit). Individual passes that may be skipped call the OptBisect object (via an LLVMContext) to see if they should be skipped based on the bisect limit. A finer level of control (disabling individual transformations) can be managed through an addition OptBisect method, but this is not yet used.
The skip checking in this implementation is based on (and replaces) the skipOptnoneFunction check. Where that check was being called, a new call has been inserted in its place which checks the bisect limit and the optnone attribute. A new function call has been added for module and SCC passes that behaves in a similar way.

Some SIMD implementations are not IEEE-754 compliant, for example ARM's NEON.
This patch teaches the loop vectorizer to only allow transformations of loops
that either contain no floating-point operations or have enough allowance
flags supporting lack of precision (ex. -ffast-math, Darwin).
For that, the target description now has a method which tells us if the
vectorizer is allowed to handle FP math without falling into unsafe
representations, plus a check on every FP instruction in the candidate loop
to check for the safety flags.
This commit makes LLVM behave like GCC with respect to ARM NEON support, but
it stops short of fixing the underlying problem: sub-normals. Neither GCC
nor LLVM have a flag for allowing sub-normal operations. Before this patch,
GCC only allows it using unsafe-math flags and LLVM allows it by default with
no way to turn it off (short of not using NEON at all).
As a first step, we push this change to make it safe and in sync with GCC.
The second step is to discuss a new sub-normal's flag on both communitues
and come up with a common solution. The third step is to improve the FastMath
flags in LLVM to encode sub-normals and use those flags to restrict NEON FP.
Fixes PR16275.

The behavior of {MIN,MAX}NAN differs from that of {MIN,MAX}NUM when only
one of the inputs is NaN: -NUM will return the non-NaN argument while
-NAN would return NaN.
It is desirable to lower to @llvm.{min,max}num to -NAN if they don't
have a native instruction for -NUM. Notably, ARMv7 NEON's vmin has the
-NAN semantics.
N.B. Of course, it is only safe to do this if the intrinsic call is
marked nnan.

This re-commits r265535 which was reverted in r265541 because it

Summary:
When the backedge taken codition is computed from an icmp, SCEV can
deduce the backedge taken count only if one of the sides of the icmp
is an AddRecExpr. However, due to sign/zero extensions, we sometimes
end up with something that is not an AddRecExpr.
However, we can use SCEV predicates to produce a 'guarded' expression.
This change adds a method to SCEV to get this expression, and the
SCEV predicate associated with it.
In HowManyGreaterThans and HowManyLessThans we will now add a SCEV
predicate associated with the guarded backedge taken count when the
analyzed SCEV expression is not an AddRecExpr. Note that we only do
this as an alternative to returning a 'CouldNotCompute'.

This change prevents the loop vectorizer from vectorizing when all of the vector
types it generates will be scalarized. I've run into this problem on the PPC's QPX

LV(REG): At #5 Interval # 1
LV(REG): VF = 8
The problem is that the cost model here is not wrong, exactly. Since all of
these operations are scalarized, their cost (aside from the uniform ones) are
indeed VF*(scalar cost), just as the model suggests. In fact, the larger the VF
picked, the lower the relative overhead from the loop itself (and the
induction-variable update and check), and so in a sense, picking the largest VF
here is the right thing to do.
The problem is that vectorizing like this, where all of the vectors will be
scalarized in the backend, isn't really vectorizing, but rather interleaving.
By itself, this would be okay, but then the vectorizer itself also interleaves,
and that's where the problem manifests itself. There's aren't actually enough
scalar registers to support the normal interleave factor multiplied by a factor
of VF (8 in this example). In other words, the problem with this is that our
register-pressure heuristic does not account for scalarization.
While we might want to improve our register-pressure heuristic, I don't think
this is the right motivating case for that work. Here we have a more-basic
problem: The job of the vectorizer is to vectorize things (interleaving aside),
and if the IR it generates won't generate any actual vector code, then
something is wrong. Thus, if every type looks like it will be scalarized (i.e.
will be split into VF or more parts), then don't consider that VF.
This is not a problem specific to PPC/QPX, however. The problem comes up under
SSE on x86 too, and as such, this change fixes PR26837 too. I've added Sanjay's
reduced test case from PR26837 to this commit.

Summary:
Use the new LoopVersioning facility (D16712) to add noalias metadata in
the vector loop if we versioned with memchecks. This can enable some
optimization opportunities further down the pipeline (see the included
test or the benchmark improvement quoted in D16712).
The test also covers the bug I had in the initial version in D16712.
The vectorizer did not previously use LoopVersioning. The reason is
that the vectorizer performs its transformations in single shot. It
creates an empty single-block vector loop that it then populates with
the widened, if-converted instructions. Thus creating an intermediate
versioned scalar loop seems wasteful.
So this patch (rather than bringing in LoopVersioning fully) adds a
special interface to LoopVersioning to allow the vectorizer to add
no-alias annotation while still performing its own versioning.
As the vectorizer propagates metadata from the instructions in the
original loop to the vector instructions we also check the pointer in
the original instruction and see if LoopVersioning can add no-alias
metadata based on the issued memchecks.

This was a latent bug that got exposed by the change to add LoopSimplify

after LV, LoopSimplify mis-compiled nbench in the test-suite (more

The problem was that when we create the blocks for predicated stores we
didn't add those to any loops.
The original testcase for store predication provides coverage for this
assuming we verify LI on the way out of LV.

This patch enables the vectorization of first-order recurrences. A first-order
recurrence is a non-reduction recurrence relation in which the value of the
recurrence in the current loop iteration equals a value defined in the previous
iteration. The load PRE of the GVN pass often creates these recurrences by
hoisting loads from within loops.
In this patch, we add a new recurrence kind for first-order phi nodes and
attempt to vectorize them if possible. Vectorization is performed by shuffling
the values for the current and previous iterations. The vectorization cost
estimate is updated to account for the added shuffle instruction.

Summary:
If we don't have the first and last access of an interleaved load group,
the first and last wide load in the loop can do an out of bounds
access. Even though we discard results from speculative loads,
this can cause problems, since it can technically generate page faults
(or worse).
We now discard interleaved load groups that don't have the first and
load in the group.

Current SCEV expansion will expand SCEV as a sequence of operations
and doesn't utilize the value already existed. This will introduce
redundent computation which may not be cleaned up throughly by
following optimizations.
This patch introduces an ExprValueMap which is a map from SCEV to the
set of equal values with the same SCEV. When a SCEV is expanded, the
set of values is checked and reused whenever possible before generating
a sequence of operations.
The original commit triggered regressions in Polly tests. The regressions
exposed two problems which have been fixed in current version.
1. Polly will generate a new function based on the old one. To generate an
instruction for the new function, it builds SCEV for the old instruction,
applies some tranformation on the SCEV generated, then expands the transformed
SCEV and insert the expanded value into new function. Because SCEV expansion
may reuse value cached in ExprValueMap, the value in old function may be
inserted into new function, which is wrong.
In SCEVExpander::expand, there is a logic to check the cached value to
be used should dominate the insertion point. However, for the above
case, the check always passes. That is because the insertion point is
in a new function, which is unreachable from the old function. However
for unreachable node, DominatorTreeBase::dominates thinks it will be
dominated by any other node.
The fix is to simply add a check that the cached value to be used in
expansion should be in the same function as the insertion point instruction.
2. When the SCEV is of scConstant type, expanding it directly is cheaper than
reusing a normal value cached. Although in the cached value set in ExprValueMap,
there is a Constant type value, but it is not easy to find it out -- the cached
Value set is not sorted according to the potential cost. Existing reuse logic
in SCEVExpander::expand simply chooses the first legal element from the cached
value set.
The fix is that when the SCEV is of scConstant type, don't try the reuse
logic. simply expand it.

[LV][LAA] Add a layer over SCEV to apply run-time checked knowledge on SCEV expressions
Summary:
This change creates a layer over ScalarEvolution for LAA and LV, and centralizes the
usage of SCEV predicates. The SCEVPredicatedLayer takes the statically deduced knowledge
by ScalarEvolution and applies the knowledge from the SCEV predicates. The end goal is
that both LAA and LV should use this interface everywhere.
This also solves a problem involving the result of SCEV expression rewritting when
the predicate changes. Suppose we have the expression (sext {a,+,b}) and two predicates
P1: {a,+,b} has nsw
P2: b = 1.
Applying P1 and then P2 gives us {a,+,1}, while applying P2 and the P1 gives us
sext({a,+,1}) (the AddRec expression was changed by P2 so P1 no longer applies).
The SCEVPredicatedLayer maintains the order of transformations by feeding back
the results of previous transformations into new transformations, and therefore
avoiding this issue.
The SCEVPredicatedLayer maintains a cache to remember the results of previous
SCEV rewritting results. This also has the benefit of reducing the overall number
of expression rewrites.

To be able to maximize the bandwidth during vectorization, this patch provides a new flag vectorizer-maximize-bandwidth. When it is turned on, the vectorizer will determine the vectorization factor (VF) using the smallest instead of widest type in the loop. To avoid increasing register pressure too much, estimates of the register usage for different VFs are calculated so that we only choose a VF when its register usage doesn't exceed the number of available registers.
This is the second attempt to submit this patch. The first attempt got a test failure on ARM. This patch is updated to try to fix the failure (more specifically, by handling the case when VF=1).
