Summary:
MemorySSA needs updating each time an instruction is moved.
LICM and control flow hoisting re-hoists instructions, thus needing another update when re-moving those instructions.
Pending cleanup: the MSSA update is duplicated, should be moved inside moveInstructionBefore.

Summary:
Step 2 in using MemorySSA in LICM:
Use MemorySSA in LICM to do sinking and hoisting, all under "EnableMSSALoopDependency" flag.
Promotion is disabled.
Enable flag in LICM sink/hoist tests to test correctness of this change. Moved one test which
relied on promotion, in order to test all sinking tests.

In some cases the order that we hoist instructions in means that when rehoisting
(which uses the same order as hoisting) we can rehoist to a block A, then a
block B, then block A again. This currently causes an assertion failure as it
expects that when changing the hoist point it only ever moves to a block that
dominates the hoist point being moved from.
Fix this by moving the re-hoist point when it doesn't dominate the dominator of
hoisted instruction, or in other words when it wouldn't dominate the uses of
the instruction being rehoisted.

This patch introduces a new instinsic `@llvm.experimental.widenable_condition`
that allows explicit representation for guards. It is an alternative to using
`@llvm.experimental.guard` intrinsic that does not contain implicit control flow.
We keep finding places where `@llvm.experimental.guard` is not supported or
treated too conservatively, and there are 2 reasons to that:
- `@llvm.experimental.guard` has memory write side effect to model implicit control flow,
and this sometimes confuses passes and analyzes that work with memory;
- Not all passes and analysis are aware of the semantics of guards. These passes treat them
as regular throwing call and have no idea that the condition of guard may be used to prove
something. One well-known place which had caused us troubles in the past is explicit loop
iteration count calculation in SCEV. Another example is new loop unswitching which is not
aware of guards. Whenever a new pass appears, we potentially have this problem there.
Rather than go and fix all these places (and commit to keep track of them and add support
in future), it seems more reasonable to leverage the existing optimizer's logic as much as possible.
The only significant difference between guards and regular explicit branches is that guard's condition
can be widened. It means that a guard contains (explicitly or implicitly) a `deopt` block successor,
and it is always legal to go there no matter what the guard condition is. The other successor is
a guarded block, and it is only legal to go there if the condition is true.
This patch introduces a new explicit form of guards alternative to `@llvm.experimental.guard`
intrinsic. Now a widenable guard can be represented in the CFG explicitly like this:
%widenable_condition = call i1 @llvm.experimental.widenable.condition()
%new_condition = and i1 %cond, %widenable_condition
br i1 %new_condition, label %guarded, label %deopt
guarded:
; Guarded instructions
deopt:
call type @llvm.experimental.deoptimize(<args...>) [ "deopt"(<deopt_args...>) ]
The new intrinsic `@llvm.experimental.widenable.condition` has semantics of an
`undef`, but the intrinsic prevents the optimizer from folding it early. This form
should exploit all optimization boons provided to `br` instuction, and it still can be
widened by replacing the result of `@llvm.experimental.widenable.condition()`
with `and` with any arbitrary boolean value (as long as the branch that is taken when
it is `false` has a deopt and has no side-effects).
For more motivation, please check llvm-dev discussion "[llvm-dev] Giving up using
implicit control flow in guards".
This patch introduces this new intrinsic with respective LangRef changes and a pass
that converts old-style guards (expressed as intrinsics) into the new form.
The naming discussion is still ungoing. Merging this to unblock further items. We can
later change the name of this intrinsic.

This commit caused failures because it failed to correctly handle cases where
we hoist a phi, then hoist a use of that phi, then have to rehoist that use. We
need to make sure that we rehoist the use to _after_ the hoisted phi, which we

everything to the original preheader.
An option is also added to control whether control flow is hoisted, which is

This patch fixes PR39695.
The original LoopSink only considers memory alias in loop body. But PR39695 shows that instructions following sink candidate in preheader should also be checked. This is a conservative patch, it simply adds whole preheader block to alias set. It may lose some optimization opportunity, but I think that is very rare because: 1 in the most common case st/ld to the same address, the load should already be optimized away. 2 usually preheader is not very large.

The general approach taken is to make note of loop invariant branches, then when
we see something conditional on that branch, such as a phi, we create a copy of
the branch and (empty versions of) its successors and hoist using that.
This has no impact by itself that I've been able to see, as LICM typically
doesn't see such phis as they will have been converted into selects by the time
LICM is run, but once we start doing phi-to-select conversion later it will be
important.

There are places where we need to merge multiple LocationSizes of
different sizes into one, and get a sensible result.
There are other places where we want to optimize aggressively based on
the value of a LocationSizes (e.g. how can a store of four bytes be to
an area of storage that's only two bytes large?)
This patch makes LocationSize hold an 'imprecise' bit to note whether
the LocationSize can be treated as an upper-bound and lower-bound for
the size of a location, or just an upper-bound.

AliasSetTracker has special case handling for memset, memcpy and memmove which pre-existed argmemonly on functions and readonly and writeonly on arguments. This patch generalizes it using the AA infrastructure to any call correctly annotated.
The motivation here is to cut down on confusion, not performance per se. For most instructions, there is a direct mapping to alias set. However, this is not guaranteed by the interface and was not in fact true for these three intrinsics *and only these three intrinsics*. I kept getting myself confused about this invariant, so I figured it would be good to clearly distinguish between a instructions and alias sets. Calls happened to be an easy target.
The nice side effect is that custom implementations of memset/memcpy/memmove - including wrappers discovered by IPO - can now be optimized the same as builts by LICM.
Note: The actual removal of the memset/memtransfer specific handling will happen in a follow on NFC patch. It was originally part of this one, but separate for ease of review and rebase.

Teach LICM to hoist stores out of loops when the store writes to a location otherwise unused in the loop, writes a value which is invariant, and is guaranteed to execute if the loop is entered.
Worth noting is that this transformation is partially overlapping with the existing promotion transformation. Reasons this is worthwhile anyway include:
* For multi-exit loops, this doesn't require duplication of the store.
* It kicks in for case where we can't prove we exit through a normal exit (i.e. we may throw), but can prove the store executes before that possible side exit.

Summary:
Currently, in LICM, we use the alias set tracker to identify if the
instruction (we're interested in hoisting) aliases with instruction that
modifies that memory location.
This patch adds an LICM alias analysis diagnostic tool that checks the
mod ref info of the instruction we are interested in hoisting/sinking,
with every instruction in the loop. Because of O(N^2) complexity this
is now only a diagnostic tool to show the limitation we have with the
alias set tracker and is OFF by default.
Test cases show the difference with the diagnostic analysis tool, where
we're able to hoist out loads and readonly + argmemonly calls from the
loop, where the alias set tracker analysis is not able to hoist these
instructions out.

The description of `isGuaranteedToExecute` does not correspond to its implementation.
According to description, it should return `true` if an instruction is executed under the
assumption that its loop is *entered*. However there is a sophisticated alrogithm inside
that tries to prove that the instruction is executed if the loop is *exited*, which is not the
same thing for infinite loops. There is an attempt to protect from dealing with infinite loops
by prohibiting loops without exit blocks, however an infinite loop can have exit blocks.
As result of that, MustExecute can falsely consider some blocks that are never entered as
mustexec, and LICM can hoist dangerous instructions out of them basing on this fact.
This may introduce UB to programs which did not contain it initially.
This patch removes the problematic algorithm and replaced it with a one which tries to
prove what is required in description.

The `experimental_guard` intrinsic has memory write semantics to model the thread-exiting
logic, but does not do any actual writes to memory. Currently, `AliasSetTracker` treats it as a
normal memory write. As result, a loop-invariant load cannot be hoisted out of loop because
the guard may possibly alias with it.
This patch makes `AliasSetTracker` so that it doesn't treat guards as memory writes.

If we have an assume which is known to execute and whose operand is invariant, we can lift that into the pre-header. So long as we don't change which paths the assume executes on, this is a legal transformation. It's likely to be a useful canonicalization as other transforms only look for dominating assumes.

The motivating case is an otherwise dead loop with a fence in it. At the moment, this goes all the way through the optimizer and we end up emitting an entirely pointless loop on x86. This case may seem a bit contrived, but we've seen it in real code as the result of otherwise reasonable lowering strategies combined w/thread local memory optimizations (such as escape analysis).
To handle this simple case, we can teach LICM to hoist must execute fences when there is no other memory operation within the loop.

This one requires a bit of explaination. It's not every day you simply delete code to implement an optimization. :)
The transform in question is sinking an instruction from a loop to the uses in loop exiting blocks. We know (from LCSSA) that all of the uses outside the loop must be phi nodes, and after predecessor splitting, we know all phi users must have a single operand. Since the use must be strictly dominated by the def, we know from the definition of dominance/ssa that the exit block must execute along a (non-strict) subset of paths which reach the def. As a result, duplicating a potentially faulting instruction can not *introduce* a fault that didn't previously exist in the program.
The full story is that this patch builds on "rL338671: [LICM] Factor out fault legality from canHoistOrSinkInst [NFC]" which pulled this logic out of a common helper routine. As best I can tell, this check was originally added to the helper function for hoisting legality, later an incorrect fastpath for loads/calls was added, and then the bug was fixed by duplicating the fault safety check in the hoist path. This left the redundant check in the common code to pessimize sinking for no reason. I split it out in an NFC, and am not removing the unneccessary check. I wanted there to be something easy to revert in case I missed something.
