The idea behind this canonicalization is that it allows us to handle less
patterns, because we know that some will be canonicalized away. This is
indeed very useful to e.g. know that constants are always on the right.
However, this is only useful if the canonicalization is actually
reliable. This is the case for constants, but not for arguments: Moving
these to the right makes it look like the "more complex" expression is
guaranteed to be on the left, but this is not actually the case in
practice. It fails as soon as you replace the argument with another
instruction.
The end result is that it looks like things correctly work in tests,
while they actually don't. We use the "thwart complexity-based
canonicalization" trick to handle this in tests, but it's often a
challenge for new contributors to get this right, and based on the
regressions this PR originally exposed, we clearly don't get this right
in many cases.
For this reason, I think that it's better to remove this complexity
canonicalization. It will make it much easier to write tests for
commuted cases and make sure that they are handled.
This patch moves branch condition creation to enter the scalar epilogue
loop to VPlan. Modeling the branch in the middle block also requires
modeling the successor blocks. This is done using the recently
introduced VPIRBasicBlock.
Note that the middle.block is still created as part of the skeleton and
then patched in during VPlan execution. Unfortunately the skeleton needs
to create the middle.block early on, as it is also used for induction
resume value creation and is also needed to properly update the
dominator tree during skeleton creation.
After this patch lands, I plan to move induction resume value and phi
node creation in the scalar preheader to VPlan. Once that is done, we
should be able to create the middle.block in VPlan directly.
This is a re-worked version based on the earlier
https://reviews.llvm.org/D150398 and the main change is the use of
VPIRBasicBlock.
Depends on https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/92525
PR: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/92651
Use VPIRBasicBlock to wrap the middle block and implement patching up
branches in predecessors in VPIRBasicBlock::execute. The IR middle block
is only created after skeleton creation. Initially a regular
VPBasicBlock is created, which will later be replaced by a
VPIRBasicBlock once the middle IR basic block has been created.
Note that this slightly changes the order of instructions created in the
middle block; code generated by recipe execution in the middle block
will now be inserted before the terminator (and in between the compare
to used by the terminator). The original order will be restored in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/92651.

This patch tries to flip the signedness of predicates when folding an
unsigned icmp with a signed min/max. It will enable more optimizations
as we canonicalizes a signed icmp into an unsigned icmp when both
operands are known to have the same sign.
Fixes#76672.

NOTE: We can flip the signedness of predicate if both operands are
negative. But I don't see the benefit of handling these cases.
This patch adds metadata to disable runtime unrolling to the vectorized
loop. If runtime unrolling/interleaving is considered profitable, LV
will interleave the loop directly. There should be no need to perform
runtime unrolling at a later stage.
Note that we already add metadata to disable runtime unrolling to the
scalar loop after vectorization.
The additional unrolling unnecessarily increases code size and compile
time. In addition to that we have several bug reports of unncessary
runtime unrolling for vectorized loops, e.g. PR40961

The basic idea to this is that a) having a single canonical type makes CSE easier, and b) many of our transforms are inconsistent about which types we end up with based on visit order.
I'm restricting this to constants as for non-constants, we'd have to decide whether the simplicity was worth extra instructions. For constants, there are no extra instructions.
We chose the canonical type as i64 arbitrarily. We might consider changing this to something else in the future if we have cause.

This fixes the lower and upper bound calculation of a
RuntimeCheckingPtrGroup when it has more than one loop
invariant pointers. Resolves PR50686.
