to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Rename:
NoUnrolling to InterleaveOnlyWhenForced
and
AlwaysVectorize to !VectorizeOnlyWhenForced
Contrary to what the name 'AlwaysVectorize' suggests, it does not
unconditionally vectorize all loops, but applies a cost model to
determine whether vectorization is profitable to all loops. Hence,
passing false will disable the cost model, except when a loop is marked
with llvm.loop.vectorize.enable. The 'OnlyWhenForced' suffix (suggested
by @hfinkel in D55716) better matches this behavior.
Similarly, 'NoUnrolling' disables the profitability cost model for
interleaving (a term to distinguish it from unrolling by the
LoopUnrollPass); rename it for consistency.

Patch #2 from VPlan Outer Loop Vectorization Patch Series #1
(RFC: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-December/119523.html).
This patch introduces the basic infrastructure to detect, legality check
and process outer loops annotated with hints for explicit vectorization.
All these changes are protected under the feature flag
-enable-vplan-native-path. This should make this patch NFC for the existing
inner loop vectorizer.

Summary:
Existing heuristic uses the ratio between the function entry
frequency and the loop invocation frequency to find cold loops. However,
even if the loop executes frequently, if it has a small trip count per
each invocation, vectorization is not beneficial. On the other hand,
even if the loop invocation frequency is much smaller than the function
invocation frequency, if the trip count is high it is still beneficial
to vectorize the loop.
This patch uses estimated trip count computed from the profile metadata
as a primary metric to determine coldness of the loop. If the estimated
trip count cannot be computed, it falls back to the original heuristics.

the latter to the Transforms library.
While the loop PM uses an analysis to form the IR units, the current
plan is to have the PM itself establish and enforce both loop simplified
form and LCSSA. This would be a layering violation in the analysis
library.
Fundamentally, the idea behind the loop PM is to *transform* loops in
addition to running passes over them, so it really seemed like the most
natural place to sink this was into the transforms library.
We can't just move *everything* because we also have loop analyses that
rely on a subset of the invariants. So this patch splits the the loop
infrastructure into the analysis management that has to be part of the
analysis library, and the transform-aware pass manager.
This also required splitting the loop analyses' printer passes out to
the transforms library, which makes sense to me as running these will
transform the code into LCSSA in theory.
I haven't split the unittest though because testing one component
without the other seems nearly intractable.

After r289755, the AssumptionCache is no longer needed. Variables affected by
assumptions are now found by using the new operand-bundle-based scheme. This
new scheme is more computationally efficient, and also we need much less
code...
