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.

Move vector pointer generation to a separate VPVectorPointerRecipe.
This untangles address computation from the memory recipes future
and is also needed to enable explicit unrolling in VPlan.

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.

Reverse mask early on when populating BlockInMask. This will enable
separating mask management and address computation from the memory

VPlan.
This patch reverts rGae739aefd7473517d3f08b5c8d08a66c7f469198 to address performance regressions reported by our [CI](https://github.com/dtcxzyw/llvm-ci/issues/137) after rG2ec1d0f427c7822540352c0c14d057e7bfe4f77b.
For example:
```
define ptr @const_gep_chain(ptr %p, i64 %a) {
%p1 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %p, i64 %a
%p2 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %p1, i64 1
%p3 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %p2, i64 2
%p4 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %p3, i64 3
ret ptr %p4
}
```
The last three GEPs will not be folded since rG2ec1d0f427c7822540352c0c14d057e7bfe4f77b.
I think it is appropriate to remove this code because there is no compile-time regression reported in our benchmarks.

Canonicalize GEP of GEP by swapping GEP with some suffix constant indices to the back (and GEP with all constant indices to the back of that), this allows more constant index GEP merging to happen. Exceptions are: If swapping violates use-def relations, or anti-optimizes LICM
For constant indexed GEP of GEP, if they cannot be merged directly, they will be casted to i8* and merged.

Whilst writing a patch to add extra tail-folding RUN lines to
existing tests I noticed a few areas where they can be
cleaned up a little:
1. scalable-reductions.ll: fmin_fast does not mark fcmp as fast.
2. sve-inductions-unusual-types.ll: remove direct references to
SSA variable names.
3. sve-strict-fadd-cost.ll: don't force vector width so we see
costs for different VFs in one go. This will be important for
the follow-on patch.
4. sve-vector-reverse.ll,vector-reverse-mask4.ll: add noalias
keyword to simplify IR.
4. sve-widen-gep.ll,sve-widen-phi.ll: regenerate using script.
These changes will make the subsequent patch adding RUN lines much
easier to review!

This patch is in preparation for enabling vectorisation with tail-folding
by default for SVE targets. Once we do that many existing tests will
break that depend upon having normal unpredicated vector loops. For
all such tests I have added the flag:
-prefer-predicate-over-epilogue=scalar-epilogue

This is required to query the legality more precisely in the LoopVectorizer.
This adds another TTI function named 'forceScalarizeMaskedGather/Scatter'
function to work around the hack introduced for MVE, where
isLegalMaskedGather/Scatter would return an answer by second-guessing
where the function was called from, based on the Type passed in (vector
vs scalar). The new interface makes this explicit. It is also used by
X86 to check for vector widths where gather/scatters aren't profitable
(or don't exist) for certain subtargets.

This patch fixes PR52111. The problem is that LV propagates poison-generating flags (`nuw`/`nsw`, `exact`
and `inbounds`) in instructions that contribute to the address computation of widen loads/stores that are
guarded by a condition. It may happen that when the code is vectorized and the control flow within the loop
is linearized, these flags may lead to generating a poison value that is effectively used as the base address
of the widen load/store. The fix drops all the integer poison-generating flags from instructions that
contribute to the address computation of a widen load/store whose original instruction was in a basic block
that needed predication and is not predicated after vectorization.

As noticed on D106352, after we've folded "(select C, (gep Ptr, Idx), Ptr) -> (gep Ptr, (select C, Idx, 0))" if the inner Ptr was also a (now one use) gep we could then merge the geps, using the sum of the indices instead.
I've limited this to basic 2-op geps - a more general case further down InstCombinerImpl.visitGetElementPtrInst doesn't have the one-use limitation but only creates the add if it can be created via SimplifyAddInst.

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.

When vectorising for AArch64 targets if you specify the SVE attribute
we automatically then treat masked loads and stores as legal. Also,
since we have no cost model for masked memory ops we believe it's
cheap to use the masked load/store intrinsics even for fixed width
vectors. This can lead to poor code quality as the intrinsics will
currently be scalarised in the backend. This patch adds a basic
cost model that marks fixed-width masked memory ops as significantly
more expensive than for scalable vectors.
Tests for the cost model are added here:

After D98856 these tests will by default break (fatal_error) if any of
the wrong interfaces are used, so there's no longer a need to have a
RUN line that checks for a warning message emitted by the compiler.
This patch adds support for reverse loop vectorization.
It is possible to vectorize the following loop:
```
for (int i = n-1; i >= 0; --i)
a[i] = b[i] + 1.0;
```
with fixed or scalable vector.
The loop-vectorizer will use 'reverse' on the loads/stores to make
sure the lanes themselves are also handled in the right order.
This patch adds support for scalable vector on IRBuilder interface to
create a reverse vector. The IR function
CreateVectorReverse lowers to experimental.vector.reverse for scalable vector
and keedp the original behavior for fixed vector using shuffle reverse.
