This is the last general step to allow more IR-level speculation with a safety harness in place in CodeGenPrepare.
The intent is to restore the behavior enabled by:
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL228826
but prevent bad performance such as:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24818
Earlier patches in this sequence:
D12882 (disable SimplifyCFG speculation for expensive instructions)
D13297 (have CGP despeculate expensive ops)
D14630 (have CGP despeculate special versions of cttz/ctlz)
As shown in the test cases, we only have two instructions currently affected: ctz for some x86 and fdiv generally.
Allowing exactly one expensive instruction is a bit of a hack, but it lines up with what is currently implemented
in CGP. If we make the despeculation more general in CGP, we can make the speculation here more liberal.
A follow-up patch will adjust the cost for sqrt and possibly other typically expensive math intrinsics (currently
everything is cheap by default). GPU targets would likely want to override those expensive default costs (just as
they probably should already override the cost of div/rem) because just about any math is cheaper than control-flow
on those targets.

...because that's what the cost model was intended to do.
As discussed in D12882, this fix has a temporary unintended consequence for
SimplifyCFG: it causes us to not speculate an fdiv. However, two wrongs make
PR24818 right, and two wrongs make PR24343 act right even though it's really
still wrong.
I intend to correct SimplifyCFG and add to CodeGenPrepare to account for this
cost model change and preserve the righteousness for the bug report cases.

This reverts isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute's use of ReadNone until we
split ReadNone into two pieces: one attribute which reasons about how
the function reasons about memory and another attribute which determines
how it may be speculated, CSE'd, trap, etc.
llvm-svn: 246331
Any call which is side effect free is trivially OK to speculate. We
already had similar logic in EarlyCSE and GVN but we were missing it
from isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute.
This fixes PR24601.

These are named following the IEEE-754 names for these
functions, rather than the libm fmin / fmax to avoid
possible ambiguities. Some languages may implement something
resembling fmin / fmax which return NaN if either operand is
to propagate errors. These implement the IEEE-754 semantics
of returning the other operand if either is a NaN representing
missing data.
