infrastructure.
This was essentially work toward PGO based on a design that had several
flaws, partially dating from a time when LLVM had a different
architecture, and with an effort to modernize it abandoned without being
completed. Since then, it has bitrotted for several years further. The
result is nearly unusable, and isn't helping any of the modern PGO
efforts. Instead, it is getting in the way, adding confusion about PGO
in LLVM and distracting everyone with maintenance on essentially dead
code. Removing it paves the way for modern efforts around PGO.
Among other effects, this removes the last of the runtime libraries from
LLVM. Those are being developed in the separate 'compiler-rt' project
now, with somewhat different licensing specifically more approriate for
runtimes.

This pass hasn't been touched in two years & would fail with assertions against
the current debug info metadata format (the only test case for it still uses a
many-versions old debug info metadata format)

Patch from Preston Briggs <preston.briggs@gmail.com>.
This is an updated version of the dependence-analysis patch, including an MIV
test based on Banerjee's inequalities.
It's a fairly complete implementation of the paper
Practical Dependence Testing
Gina Goff, Ken Kennedy, and Chau-Wen Tseng
PLDI 1991
It cannot yet propagate constraints between coupled RDIV subscripts (discussed
in Section 5.3.2 of the paper).
It's organized as a FunctionPass with a single entry point that supports testing
for dependence between two instructions in a function. If there's no dependence,
it returns null. If there's a dependence, it returns a pointer to a Dependence
which can be queried about details (what kind of dependence, is it loop
independent, direction and distance vector entries, etc). I haven't included
every imaginable feature, but there's a good selection that should be adequate
for supporting many loop transformations. Of course, it can be extended as
necessary.
Included in the patch file are many test cases, commented with C code showing
the loops and array references.

This patch implements ProfileDataLoader which loads profile data generated by
-insert-edge-profiling and updates branch weight metadata accordingly.

Modified patch by Adam Preuss.
This builds on the existing framework for block tracing, edge profiling and optimal edge profiling.
See -help-hidden for new flags.
For documentation, see the technical report "Implementation of Path Profiling..." in llvm.org/pubs.

The RegionInfo pass detects single entry single exit regions in a function,
where a region is defined as any subgraph that is connected to the remaining
graph at only two spots.
Furthermore an hierarchical region tree is built.
Use it by calling "opt -regions analyze" or "opt -view-regions".

interface needs implementations to be consistent, so any code which
wants to support different semantics must use a different interface.
It's not currently worthwhile to add a new interface for this new
concept.
Document that AliasAnalysis doesn't support cross-function queries.

This adds a pass to verify the current profile against the flow conditions.
This is very helpful when later on trying to perserve the profiling information
during all passes.

This is a simple AliasAnalysis implementation which works by making
ScalarEvolution queries. ScalarEvolution has a more complete understanding
of arithmetic than BasicAA's collection of ad-hoc checks, so it handles
some cases that BasicAA misses, for example p[i] and p[i+1] within the
same iteration of a loop.
This is currently experimental. It may be that the main use for this pass
will be to help find cases where BasicAA can be profitably extended, or
to help in the development of the overall AliasAnalysis infrastructure,
however it's also possible that it could grow up to become a directly
useful pass.

the set of blocks in which values are used, the set in which
values are live-through, and the set in which values are
killed. For the live-through and killed sets, conservative
approximations are used.

by an instance of LibCallInfo to provide mod/ref info of
standard library functions. This is powerful enough to
say that 'sqrt' is readonly except that it modifies errno,
or that "printf doesn't store to memory unless the %n
constraint is present" etc.
