Currently undef is used as a don’t-care vector when constructing a vector using a series of insertelement.
However, this is problematic because undef isn’t undefined enough.
Especially, a sequence of insertelement can be optimized to shufflevector, but using undef as its placeholder makes shufflevector a poison-blocking instruction because undef cannot be optimized to poison.
This makes a few straightforward optimizations incorrect, such as:
```
; https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44185
define <4 x float> @insert_not_undef_shuffle_translate_commute(float %x, <4 x float> %y, <4 x float> %q) {
%xv = insertelement <4 x float> %q, float %x, i32 2
%r = shufflevector <4 x float> %y, <4 x float> %xv, <4 x i32> { 0, 6, 2, undef }
ret <4 x float> %r ; %r[3] is undef
}
=>
define <4 x float> @insert_not_undef_shuffle_translate_commute(float %x, <4 x float> %y, <4 x float> %q) {
%r = insertelement <4 x float> %y, float %x, i32 1
ret <4 x float> %r ; %r[3] = %y[3], incorrect if %y[3] = poison
}
Transformation doesn't verify!
ERROR: Target is more poisonous than source
```
I’d like to suggest
1. Using poison as insertelement’s placeholder value (IRBuilder::CreateVectorSplat should be patched too)
2. Updating shufflevector’s semantics to return poison element if mask is undef
Note that poison is currently lowered into UNDEF in SelDag, so codegen part is okay.
m_Undef() matches PoisonValue as well, so existing optimizations will still fire.
The only concern is hidden miscompilations that will go incorrect when poison constant is given.
A conservative way is copying all tests having `insertelement undef` & replacing it with `insertelement poison` & run Alive2 on it, but it will create many tests and people won’t like it. :(
Instead, I’ll simply locally maintain the tests and run Alive2.
If there is any bug found, I’ll report it.

In this patch I've fixed some warnings that arose from the implicit
cast of TypeSize -> uint64_t. I tried writing a variety of different
cases to show how this optimisation might work for scalable vectors
and found:
1. The optimisation does not work for cases where the cast type
is scalable and the allocated type is not. This because we need to
know how many times the cast type fits into the allocated type.
2. If we pass all the various checks for the case when the allocated
type is scalable and the cast type is not, then when creating the
new alloca we have to take vscale into account. This leads to
sub-optimal IR that is worse than the original IR.
3. For the remaining case when both the alloca and cast types are
scalable it is hard to find examples where the optimisation would
kick in, except for simple bitcasts, because we typically fail the
ABI alignment checks.
For now I've changed the code to bail out if only one of the alloca
and cast types is scalable. This means we continue to support the
existing cases where both types are fixed, and also the specific case
when both types are scalable with the same size and alignment, for
example a simple bitcast of an alloca to another type.
I've added tests that show we don't attempt to promote the alloca,
except for simple bitcasts:
Transforms/InstCombine/AArch64/sve-cast-of-alloc.ll
Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D87378
Bail from maskIsAllZeroOrUndef and maskIsAllOneOrUndef prior to iterating over the number of
elements for scalable vectors.
Assert that the mask type is not scalable in possiblyDemandedEltsInMask .
Assert that the types are correct in all three functions.

In getCastInstrCost when the instruction is a truncate we were relying
upon the implicit TypeSize -> uint64_t cast when asking if a given type
has the same size as a legal integer. I've changed the code to only
ask the question if the type is fixed length.
I have also changed InstCombinerImpl::SimplifyDemandedUseBits to bail
out for now if the type is a scalable vector.
I've added the following new tests:
Analysis/CostModel/AArch64/sve-trunc.ll
Transforms/InstCombine/AArch64/sve-trunc.ll
for both of these fixes.

Whilst trying to compile this test to assembly:
CodeGen/aarch64-sve-intrinsics/acle_sve_reinterpret.c
I discovered some warnings were firing in InstCombiner::visitBitCast
due to calls to getNumElements() for scalable vector types. These
calls only really made sense for fixed width vectors so I have fixed
up the code appropriately.

Turning a table lookup intrinsic into a shuffle vector instruction
can be beneficial. If the mask used for the lookup is the constant
vector {7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0}, then the back-end generates byte reverse
instructions instead.

The ARM/ARM64 AESE and AESD instructions have a builtin XOR as the first step in
the instruction. Therefore, if the AES key is zero and the AES data was
previously XORed, it can be combined into a single instruction.
