There is a use after free bug in the existing code. Loop layout selects
a preferred exit block, and then lays out the loop. If this block is
removed during layout, it needs to be invalidated to prevent a use after
free.

The tail duplication pass uses an assumed layout when making duplication
decisions. This is fine, but passes up duplication opportunities that
may arise when blocks are outlined. Because we want the updated CFG to
affect subsequent placement decisions, this change must occur during
placement.
In order to achieve this goal, TailDuplicationPass is split into a
utility class, TailDuplicator, and the pass itself. The pass delegates
nearly everything to the TailDuplicator object, except for looping over
the blocks in a function. This allows the same code to be used for tail
duplication in both places.
This change, in concert with outlining optional branches, allows
triangle shaped code to perform much better, esepecially when the
taken/untaken branches are correlated, as it creates a second spine when
the tests are small enough.
Issue from previous rollback fixed, and a new test was added for that
case as well. Issue was worklist/scheduling/taildup issue in layout.
Issue from 2nd rollback fixed, with 2 additional tests. Issue was
tail merging/loop info/tail-duplication causing issue with loops that share
a header block.
Issue with early tail-duplication of blocks that branch to a fallthrough
predecessor fixed with test case: tail-dup-branch-to-fallthrough.ll

This is prep work for allowing the threshold to be different during layout,

The following pattern was being layed out poorly:
A
/ \
B C
/ \ / \
D E ? (Doesn't matter)
Where A->B is far more likely than A->C, and prob(B->D) = prob(B->E)
The current algorithm gives:
A,B,C,E (D goes on worklist)
It does this even if C has a frequency count of 0. This patch
adjusts the layout calculation so that if freq(B->E) >> freq(C->E)
then we go ahead and layout E rather than C. Fallthrough half the time
is better than fallthrough never, or fallthrough very rarely. The
resulting layout is:
A,B,E, (C and D are in a worklist)

Summary: With runtime profile, we have more confidence in branch probability, thus during basic block layout, we set a lower hot prob threshold so that blocks can be layouted optimally.

This is third patch to clean up the code.
Included in this patch:
1. Further unclutter trace/chain formation main routine;
2. Isolate the logic to compute global cost/conflict detection
into its own method;
3. Heavily document the selection algorithm;
4. Added helper hook to allow PGO specific logic to be
added in the future.

This reapplies commit r271930, r271915, r271923. They hit a bug in
Thumb which is fixed in r272258 now.
The original message:
The code layout that TailMerging (inside BranchFolding) works on is not the
final layout optimized based on the branch probability. Generally, after
BlockPlacement, many new merging opportunities emerge.
This patch calls Tail Merging after MBP and calls MBP again if Tail Merging
merges anything.
llvm-svn: 272267
Summary:
Consider the following diamond CFG:
A
/ \
B C
\/
D
Suppose A->B and A->C have probabilities 81% and 19%. In block-placement, A->B is called a hot edge and the final placement should be ABDC. However, the current implementation outputs ABCD. This is because when choosing the next block of B, it checks if Freq(C->D) > Freq(B->D) * 20%, which is true (if Freq(A) = 100, then Freq(B->D) = 81, Freq(C->D) = 19, and 19 > 81*20%=16.2). Actually, we should use 25% instead of 20% as the probability here, so that we have 19 < 81*25%=20.25, and the desired ABDC layout will be generated.

The benefits of this patch are
-- We call AnalyzeBranch() to optimize unanalyzable branches, but the result of
AnalyzeBranch() is not used. Now the result is useful.
-- Before the layout of all the MBBs is set, the result of AnalyzeBranch() is
not correct and needs to be fixed before using it to optimize the branch
conditions. Now this optimization is called after the layout, the code used
to fix the result of AnalyzeBranch() is not needed.
-- The branch condition of the last block is not optimized before. Now it is
optimized.

Currently cost based loop rotation algo can only be turned on with
two conditions: the function has real profile data, and -precise-rotation-cost
flag is turned on. This is not convenient for developers to experiment
when profile is not available. Add a new option to force the new
rotation algorithm -force-precise-rotation-cost
llvm-svn: 269266
After the layout of the basic blocks is set, the target may be able to get rid
of unconditional branches to fallthrough blocks that the generic code does not
catch. This happens any time TargetInstrInfo::AnalyzeBranch is not able to
analyze all the branches involved in the terminators sequence, while still
understanding a few of them.
In such situation, AnalyzeBranch can directly modify the branches if it has been
instructed to do so.
This patch takes advantage of that.

The original commit was reverted because of a buildbot problem with LazyCallGraph::SCC handling (not related to the OptBisect handling).
Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D19172
llvm-svn: 267231
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.

Summary:
EHPad BB are not entered the classic way and therefor do not need to be placed after their predecessors. This patch make sure EHPad BB are not chosen amongst successors to form chains, and are selected as last resort when selecting the best candidate.
EHPad are scheduled in reverse probability order in order to have them flow into each others naturally.
