Modified patch by Adam Preuss.
This builds on the existing framework for block tracing, edge profiling and optimal edge profiling.
See -help-hidden for new flags.
For documentation, see the technical report "Implementation of Path Profiling..." in llvm.org/pubs.

The RegionInfo pass detects single entry single exit regions in a function,
where a region is defined as any subgraph that is connected to the remaining
graph at only two spots.
Furthermore an hierarchical region tree is built.
Use it by calling "opt -regions analyze" or "opt -view-regions".

interface needs implementations to be consistent, so any code which
wants to support different semantics must use a different interface.
It's not currently worthwhile to add a new interface for this new
concept.
Document that AliasAnalysis doesn't support cross-function queries.

This adds a pass to verify the current profile against the flow conditions.
This is very helpful when later on trying to perserve the profiling information
during all passes.

This is a simple AliasAnalysis implementation which works by making
ScalarEvolution queries. ScalarEvolution has a more complete understanding
of arithmetic than BasicAA's collection of ad-hoc checks, so it handles
some cases that BasicAA misses, for example p[i] and p[i+1] within the
same iteration of a loop.
This is currently experimental. It may be that the main use for this pass
will be to help find cases where BasicAA can be profitably extended, or
to help in the development of the overall AliasAnalysis infrastructure,
however it's also possible that it could grow up to become a directly
useful pass.

the set of blocks in which values are used, the set in which
values are live-through, and the set in which values are
killed. For the live-through and killed sets, conservative
approximations are used.

by an instance of LibCallInfo to provide mod/ref info of
standard library functions. This is powerful enough to
say that 'sqrt' is readonly except that it modifies errno,
or that "printf doesn't store to memory unless the %n
constraint is present" etc.
