We only used to add the edge from the cloned loop to PHIs that
corresponded to values defined by the loop. We need to do this for all
PHIs obviously since we need a PHI operand for each incoming edge.
This includes things like PHIs with a constant value or with values
defined before the original loop (see the testcases).
After the patch the PHIs are added to the exit block in two passes.
In the first pass we ensure there is a single-operand (LCSSA) PHI for
each value defined by the loop.
In the second pass we loop through each (single-operand) PHI and add the
value for the edge from the cloned loop. If the value is defined in the
loop we'll use the cloned instruction from the cloned loop.
Fixes PR28037

When you have multiple LCSSA (single-operand) PHIs that are converted
into two-operand PHIs due to versioning, only assert that the PHI
currently being converted has a single operand. I.e. we don't want to
check PHIs that were converted earlier in the loop.
Fixes PR27023.
Thanks to Karl-Johan Karlsson for the minimized testcase!

Summary:
If we decide to version a loop to benefit a transformation, it makes
sense to record the now non-aliasing accesses in the newly versioned
loop. This allows non-aliasing information to be used by subsequent
passes.
One example is 456.hmmer in SPECint2006 where after loop distribution,
we vectorize one of the newly distributed loops. To vectorize we
version this loop to fully disambiguate may-aliasing accesses. If we
add the noalias markers, we can use the same information in a later DSE
pass to eliminate some dead stores which amounts to ~25% of the
instructions of this hot memory-pipeline-bound loop. The overall
performance improves by 18% on our ARM64.
The scoped noalias annotation is added in LoopVersioning. The patch
then enables this for loop distribution. A follow-on patch will enable
it for the vectorizer. Eventually this should be run by default when
versioning the loop but first I'd like to get some feedback whether my
understanding and application of scoped noalias metadata is correct.
Essentially my approach was to have a separate alias domain for each
versioning of the loop. For example, if we first version in loop
distribution and then in vectorization of the distributed loops, we have
a different set of memchecks for each versioning. By keeping the scopes
in different domains they can conveniently be defined independently
since different alias domains don't affect each other.
As written, I also have a separate domain for each loop. This is not
necessary and we could save some metadata here by using the same domain
across the different loops. I don't think it's a big deal either way.
Probably the best is to review the tests first to see if I mapped this
problem correctly to scoped noalias markers. I have plenty of comments
in the tests.
Note that the interface is prepared for the vectorizer which needs the
annotateInstWithNoAlias API. The vectorizer does not use LoopVersioning
so we need a way to pass in the versioned instructions. This is also
why the maps have to become part of the object state.
Also currently, we only have an AA-aware DSE after the vectorizer if we
also run the LTO pipeline. Depending how widely this triggers we may
want to schedule a DSE toward the end of the regular pass pipeline.

Summary:
LoopVersioning is a transform utility that transform passes can use to
run-time disambiguate may-aliasing accesses. I'd like to also expose as
pass to allow it to be unit-tested.
I am planning to add support for non-aliasing annotation in
LoopVersioning and I'd like to be able to write tests directly using
this pass.
(After that feature is done, the pass could also be used to look for
optimization opportunities that are hidden behind incomplete alias
information at compile time.)
The pass drives LoopVersioning in its default way which is to fully
disambiguate may-aliasing accesses no matter how many checks are
required.
