This adds a G_ASSERT_SEXT opcode, similar to G_ASSERT_ZEXT. This instruction
signifies that an operation was already sign extended from a smaller type.
This is useful for functions with sign-extended parameters.
E.g.
```
define void @foo(i16 signext %x) {
...
}
```
This adds verifier, regbankselect, and instruction selection support for
G_ASSERT_SEXT equivalent to G_ASSERT_ZEXT.

Some test systems do not use lit for test discovery but only for its
substitution and test selection because they use another way of managing
test collections, e.g. CTest. This forces those tests to be invoked with
lit --no-indirectly-run-check. When a mix of lit version is in use, it
requires to detect the availability of that option.
This commit provides a new config option standalone_tests to signal a
directory made of tests meant to run as standalone. When this option is
set, lit skips test discovery and the indirectly run check. It also adds
the missing documentation for --no-indirectly-run-check.

This patch adds a new intrinsic experimental.vector.reduce that takes a single
vector and returns a vector of matching type but with the original lane order
reversed. For example:
```
vector.reverse(<A,B,C,D>) ==> <D,C,B,A>
```
The new intrinsic supports fixed and scalable vectors types.
The fixed-width vector relies on shufflevector to maintain existing behaviour.
Scalable vector uses the new ISD node - VECTOR_REVERSE.
This new intrinsic is one of the named shufflevector intrinsics proposed on the
mailing-list in the RFC at [1].

In the past, it was stated in D87994 that it is allowed to dereference a pointer that is partially undefined
if all of its possible representations fit into a dereferenceable range.
The motivation of the direction was to make a range analysis helpful for assuring dereferenceability.
Even if a range analysis concludes that its offset is within bounds, the offset could still be partially undefined; to utilize the range analysis, this relaxation was necessary.
https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/2Qk4fOHUoAE/m/KcvYMEgOAgAJ has more context about this.
However, this is currently blocking another optimization, which is annotating the noundef attribute for library functions' arguments. D95122 is the patch.
Currently, there are quite a few library functions which cannot have noundef attached to its pointer argument because it can be transformed from load/store.
For example, MemCpyOpt can convert stores into memset:
```
store p, i32 0
store (p+1), i32 0 // Since currently it is allowed for store to have partially undefined pointer..
->
memset(p, 0, 8) // memset cannot guarantee that its ptr argument is noundef.
```
A bigger problem is that this makes unclear which library functions are allowed to have 'noundef' and which functions aren't (e.g., strlen).
This makes annotating noundef almost impossible for this kind of functions.
This patch proposes that all memory operations should have well-defined pointers.
For memset/memcpy, it is semantically equivalent to running a loop until the size is met (and branching on undef is UB), so the size is also updated to be well-defined.
Strictly speaking, this again violates the implication of dereferenceability from range analysis result.
However, I think this is okay for the following reasons:
1. It seems the existing analyses in the LLVM main repo does not have conflicting implementation with the new proposal.
`isDereferenceableAndAlignedPointer` works only when the GEP offset is constant, and `isDereferenceableAndAlignedInLoop` is also fine.
2. A possible miscompilation happens only when the source has a pointer with a *partially* undefined offset (it's okay with poison because there is no 'partially poison' value).
But, at least I'm not aware of a language using LLVM as backend that has a well-defined program while allowing partially undefined pointers.
There might be such a language that I'm not aware of, but improving the performance of the mainstream languages like C and Rust is more important IMHO.

explicitly emitting retainRV or claimRV calls in the IR
Background:
This fixes a longstanding problem where llvm breaks ARC's autorelease
optimization (see the link below) by separating calls from the marker
instructions or retainRV/claimRV calls. The backend changes are in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D92569.
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html#arc-runtime-objc-autoreleasereturnvalue
What this patch does to fix the problem:
- The front-end adds operand bundle "clang.arc.attachedcall" to calls,
which indicates the call is implicitly followed by a marker
instruction and an implicit retainRV/claimRV call that consumes the
call result. In addition, it emits a call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use, which consumes the call result, to
prevent the middle-end passes from changing the return type of the
called function. This is currently done only when the target is arm64
and the optimization level is higher than -O0.
- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the calls
with the operand bundle in the IR and removes the inserted calls after
processing the function.
- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the call with the
operand bundle. It doesn't remove the operand bundle on the call since
the backend needs it to emit the marker instruction. The retainRV and
claimRV calls are emitted late in the pipeline to prevent optimization
passes from transforming the IR in a way that makes it harder for the
ARC middle-end passes to figure out the def-use relationship between
the call and the retainRV/claimRV calls (which is the cause of
PR31925).
- The function inliner removes an autoreleaseRV call in the callee if
nothing in the callee prevents it from being paired up with the
retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. It then inserts a release call if
claimRV is attached to the call since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is
equivalent to a release. If it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it
tries to transfer the operand bundle to a function call in the callee.
This is important since the ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV
returning the callee result, which makes it impossible to pair it up
with the retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply
emits a retain call in the IR if retainRV is attached to the call and
does nothing if claimRV is attached to it.
- SCCP refrains from replacing the return value of a call with a
constant value if the call has the operand bundle. This ensures the
call always has at least one user (the call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use).
- This patch also fixes a bug in replaceUsesOfNonProtoConstant where
multiple operand bundles of the same kind were being added to a call.
Future work:
- Use the operand bundle on x86-64.
- Fix the auto upgrader to convert call+retainRV/claimRV pairs into

So far, it was not specified what happens with the VGPRs of inactive
lanes when functions are called. This patch explicitely mentions that
the VGPR values of inactive lanes need to be preserved for all
registers.
This describes the current behavior, as only active lanes of registers
are saved to scratch. Also, as the multi-lane nature of VGPRs is not
properly modeled, we cannot determine the live VGPRs from inactive lanes
at calls. So we cannot save them, even if we intended to do so.

To set non-default rounding mode user usually calls function 'fesetround'
from standard C library. This way has some disadvantages.
* It creates unnecessary dependency on libc. On the other hand, setting
rounding mode requires few instructions and could be made by compiler.
Sometimes standard C library even is not available, like in the case of
GPU or AI cores that execute small kernels.
* Compiler could generate more effective code if it knows that a particular
call just sets rounding mode.
This change introduces new IR intrinsic, namely 'llvm.set.rounding', which
sets current rounding mode, similar to 'fesetround'. It however differs
from the latter, because it is a lower level facility:
* 'llvm.set.rounding' does not return any value, whereas 'fesetround'
returns non-zero value in the case of failure. In glibc 'fesetround'
reports failure if its argument is invalid or unsupported or if floating
point operations are unavailable on the hardware. Compiler usually knows
what core it generates code for and it can validate arguments in many
cases.
* Rounding mode is specified in 'fesetround' using constants like
'FE_TONEAREST', which are target dependent. It is inconvenient to work
with such constants at IR level.
C standard provides a target-independent way to specify rounding mode, it
is used in FLT_ROUNDS, however it does not define standard way to set
rounding mode using this encoding.
This change implements only IR intrinsic. Lowering it to machine code is
target-specific and will be implemented latter. Mapping of 'fesetround'
to 'llvm.set.rounding' is also not implemented here.

This adds a generic opcode which communicates that a type has already been
zero-extended from a narrower type.
This is intended to be similar to AssertZext in SelectionDAG.
For example,
```
%x_was_extended:_(s64) = G_ASSERT_ZEXT %x, 16
```
Signifies that the top 48 bits of %x are known to be 0.
This is useful in cases like this:
```
define i1 @zeroext_param(i8 zeroext %x) {
%cmp = icmp ult i8 %x, -20
ret i1 %cmp
}
```
In AArch64, `%x` must use a 32-bit register, which is then truncated to a 8-bit
value.
If we know that `%x` is already zero-ed out in the relevant high bits, we can
avoid the truncate.
Currently, in GISel, this looks like this:
```
_zeroext_param:
and w8, w0, #0xff ; We don't actually need this!
cmp w8, #236
cset w0, lo
ret
```
While SDAG does not produce the truncation, since it knows that it's
unnecessary:
```
_zeroext_param:
cmp w0, #236
cset w0, lo
ret
```
This patch
- Adds G_ASSERT_ZEXT
- Adds MIRBuilder support for it
- Adds MachineVerifier support for it
- Documents it
It also puts G_ASSERT_ZEXT into its own class of "hint instruction." (There
should be a G_ASSERT_SEXT in the future, maybe a G_ASSERT_ALIGN as well.)
This allows us to skip over hints in the legalizer etc. These can then later
be selected like COPY instructions or removed.

Currently LLVM is relying on ValueTracking's `isKnownNonZero` to attach `nonnull`, which can return true when the value is poison.
To make the semantics of `nonnull` consistent with the behavior of `isKnownNonZero`, this makes the semantics of `nonnull` to accept poison, and return poison if the input pointer isn't null.
This makes many transformations like below legal:
```
%p = gep inbounds %x, 1 ; % p is non-null pointer or poison
call void @f(%p) ; instcombine converts this to call void @f(nonnull %p)
```
Instead, this semantics makes propagation of `nonnull` to caller illegal.
The reason is that, passing poison to `nonnull` does not immediately raise UB anymore, so such program is still well defined, if the callee does not use the argument.
Having `noundef` attribute there re-allows this.
```
define void @f(i8* %p) { ; functionattr cannot mark %p nonnull here anymore
call void @g(i8* nonnull %p) ; .. because @g never raises UB if it never uses %p.
ret void
}
```
Another attribute that needs to be updated is `align`. This patch updates the semantics of align to accept poison as well.
