Having a finite Depth (or recursion limit) for computeKnownBits is very
limiting, but is currently a load-bearing necessity, as all KnownBits
are recomputed on each call and there is no caching. As a prerequisite
for an effort to remove the recursion limit altogether, either using a
clever caching technique, or writing a easily-invalidable KnownBits
analysis, make the Depth argument in APIs in ValueTracking uniformly the
last argument with a default value. This would aid in removing the
argument when the time comes, as many callers that currently pass 0
explicitly are now updated to omit the argument altogether.
This pass aims to infer alignment for instructions as a separate pass,
to reduce redundant work done by InstCombine running multiple times. It
runs late in the pipeline, just before the back-end passes where this
information is most useful.
