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.
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/69841.
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.
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 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.

This patch reapplies r298620. The original patch was reverted because of two
issues. First, the patch exposed a bug in InstCombine that caused the Chromium
builds to fail (PR32414). This issue was fixed in r299017. Second, the patch
introduced a bug in the vectorizer's scalars analysis that caused test suite
builds to fail on SystemZ. The scalars analysis was too aggressive and marked a
memory instruction scalar, even though it was going to be vectorized. This
issue has been fixed in the current patch and several new test cases for the
scalars analysis have been added.

Original change description:
[LV] Vectorize GEPs
This patch adds support for vectorizing GEPs. Previously, we only generated
vector GEPs on-demand when creating gather or scatter operations. All GEPs from
the original loop were scalarized by default, and if a pointer was to be stored
to memory, we would have to build up the pointer vector with insertelement
instructions.
With this patch, we will vectorize all GEPs that haven't already been marked
for scalarization.
The patch refines collectLoopScalars to more exactly identify the scalar GEPs.
The function now more closely resembles collectLoopUniforms. And the patch
moves vector GEP creation out of vectorizeMemoryInstruction and into the main
vectorization loop. The vector GEPs needed for gather and scatter operations
will have already been generated before vectoring the memory accesses.
