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 canonicalizes getelementptr instructions with constant
indices to use the `i8` source element type. This makes it easier for
optimizations to recognize that two GEPs are identical, because they
don't need to see past many different ways to express the same offset.
This is a first step towards
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-replacing-getelementptr-with-ptradd/68699.
This is limited to constant GEPs only for now, as they have a clear
canonical form, while we're not yet sure how exactly to deal with
variable indices.
The test llvm/test/Transforms/PhaseOrdering/switch_with_geps.ll gives
two representative examples of the kind of optimization improvement we
expect from this change. In the first test SimplifyCFG can now realize
that all switch branches are actually the same. In the second test it
can convert it into simple arithmetic. These are representative of
common optimization failures we see in Rust.

This adds support for using dominating conditions in computeKnownBits()
when called from InstCombine. The implementation uses a
DomConditionCache, which stores which branches may provide information
that is relevant for a given value.
DomConditionCache is similar to AssumptionCache, but does not try to do
any kind of automatic tracking. Relevant branches have to be explicitly
registered and invalidated values explicitly removed. The necessary
tracking is done inside InstCombine.
The reason why this doesn't just do exactly the same thing as
AssumptionCache is that a lot more transforms touch branches and branch
conditions than assumptions. AssumptionCache is an immutable analysis
and mostly gets away with this because only a handful of places have to
register additional assumptions (mostly as a result of cloning). This is
very much not the case for branches.
This change regresses compile-time by about ~0.2%. It also improves
stage2-O0-g builds by about ~0.2%, which indicates that this change results
in additional optimizations inside clang itself.

This artifact can appear from the vectorizer. (add X, -1) is the
backedge taken count. It gets zero extended and then 1 is added to
it to get the trip count.
There is usually a dominating branch that rules out X being zero.

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

This was originally part of D133788. There are no visible
regressions. All of the diffs show a large unsigned constant
becoming a small negative constant. This should be better
for analysis (and slightly less compile-time) and codegen.
This patch adds initial support for a pointer diff based runtime check
scheme for vectorization. This scheme requires fewer computations and
checks than the existing full overlap checking, if it is applicable.
The main idea is to only check if source and sink of a dependency are
far enough apart so the accesses won't overlap in the vector loop. To do
so, it is sufficient to compute the difference and compare it to the
`VF * UF * AccessSize`. It is sufficient to check
`(Sink - Src) <u VF * UF * AccessSize` to rule out a backwards
dependence in the vector loop with the given VF and UF. If Src >=u Sink,
there is not dependence preventing vectorization, hence the overflow
should not matter and using the ULT should be sufficient.
Note that the initial version is restricted in multiple ways:
1. Pointers must only either be read or written, by a single
instruction (this allows re-constructing source/sink for
dependences with the available information)
2. Source and sink pointers must be add-recs, with matching steps
3. The step must be a constant.
3. abs(step) == AccessSize.
Most of those restrictions can be relaxed in the future.

This patch marks the induction increment of the main induction variable
of the vector loop as NUW when not folding the tail.
If the tail is not folded, we know that End - Start >= Step (either
statically or through the minimum iteration checks). We also know that both
Start % Step == 0 and End % Step == 0. We exit the vector loop if %IV +
%Step == %End. Hence we must exit the loop before %IV + %Step unsigned
overflows and we can mark the induction increment as NUW.
This should make SCEV return more precise bounds for the created vector
loops, used by later optimizations, like late unrolling.
At the moment quite a few tests still need to be updated, but before
doing so I'd like to get initial feedback to make sure I am not missing
anything.
Note that this could probably be further improved by using information
from the original IV.

From the commit message alone, there doesn't seem to be a
deeper motivation, deeper problem that was trying to solve,
other than 'fixing the wrong one-use check'.
As i have briefly discusses in IRC with Tim, the original motivation
can no longer be recovered, too much time has passed.
However i believe that the original fold was doing the right thing,
we should be performing such a transformation even if the inner `add`
will not go away - that will still unchain the comparison from `add`,
it will no longer need to wait for `add` to compute.
Doing so doesn't seem to break any particular idioms,
as least as far as i can see.

When vectorisation is forced with a pragma, we optimise for min size, and we
need to emit runtime memory checks, then allow this code growth and don't run
in an assert like we currently do.
This is the result of D65197 and D66803, and was a use-case not really
considered before. If this now happens, we emit an optimisation remark warning
about the code-size expansion, which can be avoided by not forcing
vectorisation or possibly source-code modifications.

If we found unsafe dependences other than 'unknown', we already know at

This should have no negative impact on performance as the runtime checks

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

Generate a single test to decide if there are enough iterations to jump to the
vectorized loop, or else go to the scalar remainder loop. This test compares the
Scalar Trip Count: if STC < VF * UF go to the scalar loop. If
requiresScalarEpilogue() holds, at-least one iteration must remain scalar; the
rest can be used to form vector iterations. So in this case the test checks
instead if (STC - 1) < VF * UF by comparing STC <= VF * UF, and going to the
scalar loop if so. Otherwise the vector loop is entered for at-least one vector
iteration.
This test covers the case where incrementing the backedge-taken count will
overflow leading to an incorrect trip count of zero. In this (rare) case we will
also avoid the vector loop and jump to the scalar loop.
This patch simplifies the existing tests and effectively removes the basic-block
originally named "min.iters.checked", leaving the single test in block
"vector.ph".

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.

We were bailing to two places if our runtime checks failed. If the initial overflow check failed, we'd go to ScalarPH. If any other check failed, we'd go to MiddleBlock. This caused us to have to have an extra PHI per induction and reduction as the vector loop's exit block was not dominated by its latch.
There's no need to have this behavior - if we just always go to ScalarPH we can get rid of a bunch of complexity.

As a follow-up to r246098, require `DISubprogram` definitions
(`isDefinition: true`) to be 'distinct'. Specifically, add an assembler
check, a verifier check, and bitcode upgrading logic to combat testcase
bitrot after the `DIBuilder` change.
While working on the testcases, I realized that
test/Linker/subprogram-linkonce-weak-odr.ll isn't relevant anymore. Its
purpose was to check for a corner case in PR22792 where two subprogram
definitions match exactly and share the same metadata node. The new
verifier check, requiring that subprogram definitions are 'distinct',
precludes that possibility.
I updated almost all the IR with the following script:
git grep -l -E -e '= !DISubprogram\(.* isDefinition: true' |
grep -v test/Bitcode |
xargs sed -i '' -e 's/= \(!DISubprogram(.*, isDefinition: true\)/= distinct \1/'
Likely some variant of would work for out-of-tree testcases.

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.
This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.
* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)
* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.
* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.
* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x

This separates the check for "too few elements to run the vector loop" from the
