This is the initial checkin of the basic-block autovectorization pass along with some supporting vectorization infrastructure.
Special thanks to everyone who helped review this code over the last several months (especially Tobias Grosser).

Changing arguments from being passed as fixed to varargs is unsafe, as
the ABI may require they be handled differently (stack vs. register, for
example).
Remove two tests which rely on the bitcast being folded into the direct
call, which is exactly the transformation that's unsafe.

compare a pointer to null and then branch to an otherwise unreachable block!
Detect these cases and compute the number of saved instructions, instead of
bailing out and reporting no savings.

transformed by SROA at all just because we saw the loads/stores before we saw
the use of the address.

LSR has gradually been improved to more aggressively reuse existing code, particularly existing phi cycles. This exposed problems with the SCEVExpander's sloppy treatment of its insertion point. I applied some rigor to the insertion point problem that will hopefully avoid an endless bug cycle in this area. Changes:
- Always used properlyDominates to check safe code hoisting.
- The insertion point provided to SCEV is now considered a lower bound. This is usually a block terminator or the use itself. Under no cirumstance may SCEVExpander insert below this point.
- LSR is reponsible for finding a "canonical" insertion point across expansion of different expressions.
- Robust logic to determine whether IV increments are in "expanded" form and/or can be safely hoisted above some insertion point.
Fixes PR11783: SCEVExpander assert.

It's becoming clear that LoopSimplify needs to unconditionally create loop preheaders. But that is a bigger fix. For now, continuing to hack LSR.

1. Size heuristics changed. Now we calculate number of unswitching
branches only once per loop.
2. Some checks was moved from UnswitchIfProfitable to
processCurrentLoop, since it is not changed during processCurrentLoop
iteration. It allows decide to skip some loops at an early stage.
Extended statistics:
- Added total number of instructions analyzed.

with other symbols.
An object in the __cfstring section is suppoed to be filled with CFString
objects, which have a pointer to ___CFConstantStringClassReference followed by a
pointer to a __cstring. If we allow the object in the __cstring section to be
merged with another global, then it could end up in any section. Because the
linker is going to remove these symbols in the final executable, we shouldn't
bother to merge them.

These heuristics are sufficient for enabling IV chains by
default. Performance analysis has been done for i386, x86_64, and
thumbv7. The optimization is rarely important, but can significantly
speed up certain cases by eliminating spill code within the
loop. Unrolled loops are prime candidates for IV chains. In many
cases, the final code could still be improved with more target
specific optimization following LSR. The goal of this feature is for
LSR to make the best choice of induction variables.
Instruction selection may not completely take advantage of this
feature yet. As a result, there could be cases of slight code size
increase.
Code size can be worse on x86 because it doesn't support postincrement
addressing. In fact, when chains are formed, you may see redundant
address plus stride addition in the addressing mode. GenerateIVChains
tries to compensate for the common cases.
On ARM, code size increase can be mitigated by using postincrement
addressing, but downstream codegen currently misses some opportunities.
llvm-svn: 147826
After collecting chains, check if any should be materialized. If so,
hide the chained IV users from the LSR solver. LSR will only solve for
the head of the chain. GenerateIVChains will then materialize the
chained IV users by computing the IV relative to its previous value in
the chain.
In theory, chained IV users could be exposed to LSR's solver. This
would be considerably complicated to implement and I'm not aware of a
case where we need it. In practice it's more important to
intelligently prune the search space of nontrivial loops before
running the solver, otherwise the solver is often forced to prune the
most optimal solutions. Hiding the chained users does this well, so
that LSR is more likely to find the best IV for the chain as a whole.

LoopSimplify may not run on some outer loops, e.g. because of indirect
branches. SCEVExpander simply cannot handle outer loops with no preheaders.

present in the bottom of the CFG triangle, as the transformation isn't
ever valuable if the branch can't be eliminated.
Also, unify some heuristics between SimplifyCFG's multiple
if-converters, for consistency.
This fixes rdar://10627242.

code can incorrectly move the load across a store. This never
happens in practice today, but only because the current
heuristics accidentally preclude it.

captured. This allows the tracker to look at the specific use, which may be
especially interesting for function calls.
Use this to fix 'nocapture' deduction in FunctionAttrs. The existing one does
not iterate until a fixpoint and does not guarantee that it produces the same
result regardless of iteration order. The new implementation builds up a graph
of how arguments are passed from function to function, and uses a bottom-up walk
on the argument-SCCs to assign nocapture. This gets us nocapture more often, and
does so rather efficiently and independent of iteration order.

This has the obvious advantage of being commutable and is always a win on x86 because
const - x wastes a register there. On less weird architectures this may lead to
a regression because other arithmetic doesn't fuse with it anymore. I'll address that
problem in a followup.
