Krzysztof Parzyszek cae9ddd062 Disable jump threading into loop headers
Consider this type of a loop:
    for (...) {
      ...
      if (...) continue;
      ...
    }
Normally, the "continue" would branch to the loop control code that
checks whether the loop should continue iterating and which contains
the (often) unique loop latch branch. In certain cases jump threading
can "thread" the inner branch directly to the loop header, creating
a second loop latch. Loop canonicalization would then transform this
loop into a loop nest. The problem with this is that in such a loop
nest neither loop is countable even if the original loop was. This
may inhibit subsequent loop optimizations and be detrimental to
performance.

; RUN: opt -S -jump-threading < %s | FileCheck %s
; Check that based solely on static profile estimation we don't update the
; branch-weight metadata. Even if the function has an entry frequency, a
; completely cold part of the CFG may be statically estimated.
; For example in the loop below, jump threading would update the weight of the
; loop-exiting branch to 0, drastically inflating the frequency of the loop
; (in the range of billions).
;
; This is the CFG of the loop. There is no run-time profile info for edges
; inside the loop, so branch and block frequencies are estimated as shown:
;
; check_1 (16)
; (8) / |
; eq_1 | (8)
; \ |
; check_2 (16)
; (8) / |
; eq_2 | (8)
; \ |
; check_3 (16)
; (1) / |
; (loop exit) | (15)
; |
; latch
; |
; (back edge)
;
; First we thread eq_1->check_2 to check_3. Frequencies are updated to remove
; the frequency of eq_1 from check_2 and then the false edge leaving check_2
; (changed frequencies are highlighted with * *):
;
; check_1 (16)
; (8) / |
; eq_1~ | (8)
; / |
; / check_2 (*8*)
; / (8) / |
; \ eq_2 | (*0*)
; \ \ |
; ` --- check_3 (16)
; (1) / |
; (loop exit) | (15)
; |
; latch
; |
; (back edge)
;
; Next we thread eq_1->check_3 and eq_2->check_3 to check_1 as new edges to
; the loop latch. Frequencies are updated to remove the frequency of eq_1
; and eq_3 from check_3 and then the false edge leaving check_3 (changed
; frequencies are highlighted with * *):
;
; check_1 (16)
; (8) / |
; eq_1~ | (8)
; / |
; / check_2 (*8*)
; / (8) / |
; /-- eq_2~ | (*0*)
; / |
; / check_3 (*0*)
; / (*0*) / |
; | (loop exit) | (*0*)
; \ |
; `--------- latch
; |
; (back edge)
;
; As a result, the loop exit edge ends up with 0 frequency which in turn makes
; the loop header to have maximum frequency.
