If we're shrinking a binary operation, it may be the case that the new
operations wraps where the old didn't. If this happens, the behavior
should be well-defined. So, we can't always carry wrapping flags with us
when we shrink operations.
If we do, we get incorrect optimizations in cases like:
void foo(const unsigned char *from, unsigned char *to, int n) {
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
to[i] = from[i] - 128;
}
which gets optimized to:
void foo(const unsigned char *from, unsigned char *to, int n) {
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
to[i] = from[i] | 128;
}
Because:
- InstCombine turned `sub i32 %from.i, 128` into
`add nuw nsw i32 %from.i, 128`.
- LoopVectorize vectorized the add to be `add nuw nsw <16 x i8>` with a
vector full of `i8 128`s
- InstCombine took advantage of the fact that the newly-shrunken add
"couldn't wrap", and changed the `add` to an `or`.
InstCombine seems happy to figure out whether we can add nuw/nsw on its
own, so I just decided to drop the flags. There are already a number of
places in LoopVectorize where we rely on InstCombine to clean up.

Summary:
In first order recurrences where phi's are used outside the loop,
we should generate an additional vector.extract of the second last element from
the vectorized phi update.
This is because we require the phi itself (which is the value at the second last
iteration of the vector loop) and not the phi's update within the loop.
Also fix the code gen when we just unroll, but don't vectorize.
Fixes PR32396.

In the vectorization of first order recurrence, we vectorize such
that the last element in the vector will be the one extracted to pass into the
scalar remainder loop. However, this is not true when there is a phi (other
than the primary induction variable) is used outside the loop.
In such a case, we need the value from the second last iteration (i.e.
the phi value), not the last iteration (which would be the phi update).
I've added a test case for this. Also see PR32396.
A follow up patch would generate the correct code gen for such cases,
and turn this vectorization on.

This was a fairly simple patch but on closer inspection was seriously flawed and caused PR27690.
This reverts commit r268921.

When deciding if a vector calculation can be done in a smaller bitwidth, use sign bit information from ValueTracking to add more information and allow more truncations.

We already try not to truncate PHIs in computeMinimalBitwidths. LoopVectorize can't handle it and we really don't need to, because both induction and reduction PHIs are truncated by other means.
However, we weren't bailing out in all the places we should have, and we ended up by returning a PHI to be truncated, which has caused PR27018.
This fixes PR17018.

This regresses a test in LoopVectorize, so I'll need to go away and think about how to solve this in a way that isn't broken.
From the writeup in PR26071:
What's happening is that ComputeKnownZeroes is telling us that all bits except the LSB are zero. We're then deciding that only the LSB needs to be demanded from the icmp's inputs.
This is where we're wrong - we're assuming that after simplification the bits that were known zero will continue to be known zero. But they're not - during trivialization the upper bits get changed (because an XOR isn't shrunk), so the icmp fails.
The fault is in demandedbits - its contract does clearly state that a non-demanded bit may either be zero or one.

Implemented as many of Michael's suggestions as were possible:
* clang-format the added code while it is still fresh.
* tried to change Value* to Instruction* in many places in computeMinimumValueSizes - unfortunately there are several places where Constants need to be handled so this wasn't possible.
* Reduce the pass list on loop-vectorization-factors.ll.
* Fix a bug where we were querying MinBWs for I->getOperand(0) but using MinBWs[I].

C semantics force sub-int-sized values (e.g. i8, i16) to be promoted to int
type (e.g. i32) whenever arithmetic is performed on them.
For targets with native i8 or i16 operations, usually InstCombine can shrink
the arithmetic type down again. However InstCombine refuses to create illegal
types, so for targets without i8 or i16 registers, the lengthening and
shrinking remains.
Most SIMD ISAs (e.g. NEON) however support vectors of i8 or i16 even when
their scalar equivalents do not, so during vectorization it is important to
remove these lengthens and truncates when deciding the profitability of
vectorization.
The algorithm this uses starts at truncs and icmps, trawling their use-def
chains until they terminate or instructions outside the loop are found (or
unsafe instructions like inttoptr casts are found). If the use-def chains
starting from different root instructions (truncs/icmps) meet, they are
unioned. The demanded bits of each node in the graph are ORed together to form
an overall mask of the demanded bits in the entire graph. The minimum bitwidth
that graph can be truncated to is the bitwidth minus the number of leading
zeroes in the overall mask.
The intention is that this algorithm should "first do no harm", so it will
never insert extra cast instructions. This is why the use-def graphs are
unioned, so that subgraphs with different minimum bitwidths do not need casts
inserted between them.
This algorithm works hard to reduce compile time impact. DemandedBits are only
queried if there are extends of illegal types and if a truncate to an illegal
type is seen. In the general case, this results in a simple linear scan of the
instructions in the loop.
No non-noise compile time impact was seen on a clang bootstrap build.
