Actual change for this patch is LoopVectorize* and cmakefile. All others are all from D45420.
LoopVectorizationLegality is an analysis and thus really belongs to Analysis tree. It is modular enough and it is reusable enough ---- we can further improve those aspects once uses outside of LV picks up.
Hopefully, this will make it easier for people familiar with vectorization theory, but not necessarily LV itself to contribute, by lowering the volume of code they should deal with. We probably should start adding some code in LV to check its own capability (i.e., vectorization is legal but LV is not ready to handle it) and then bail out.

Summary:
Another clean up, following D43208.
Interleaved memory access analysis/optimization has nothing to do with vectorization legality. It doesn't really belong there. On the other hand, cost model certainly has to know about it.
In principle, vectorization should proceed like Legality ==> Optimization ==> CostModel ==> CodeGen, and this change just does that,
by moving the interleaved access analysis/decision out of Legal, and run it just before CostModel object is created.
After this, I can move LoopVectorizationLegality and Hints/Requirements classes into it's own header file, making it shareable within Transform tree. I have the patch already but I don't want to mix with this change. Eventual goal is to move to Analysis tree, but I first need to move RecurrenceDescriptor/InductionDescriptor from Transform/Util/LoopUtil.* to Analysis.

Fixes PR36311.
See more detailed analysis in
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36311.
isUniform() information is recomputed after LV started transforming the
underlying IR and that triggered an assert in SCEV.
From vectorizer's architectural perspective, such information, while
still useful in vector code gen, should not be recomputed after the
start of transforming the LLVM IR. Instead, we should collect and cache
such information during the analysis phase of LV and use the cached info
during code gen.
From the symptom perspective, this assert as it stands right now is not
very useful. Legality already rejected loops that would trigger the
assert. As such, commenting out the assert is NFC from vectorizer's
functionality perspective. On top of that, just above the assertion, we
check for unit-strided load/store or
gather scatter. Addresses can't be uniform below that check.
From vectorization theory point of view, we don't have to reject all
cases of stores to uniform addresses. Eventually, we should support
safe/profitable cases.
This patch resolves the issue by removing the useless assertion that is
invoking LAA's isUniform() that requires up-to-date DomTree ---- once
vector code gen starts modifying CFG, we don't have an up-to-date
DomTree.

All SIMD architectures can emulate masked load/store/gather/scatter
through element-wise condition check, scalar load/store, and
insert/extract. Therefore, bailing out of vectorization as legality
failure, when they return false, is incorrect. We should proceed to cost
model and determine profitability.
This patch is to address the vectorizer's architectural limitation
described above. As such, I tried to keep the cost model and
vectorize/don't-vectorize behavior nearly unchanged. Cost model tuning
should be done separately.

Summary:
If -pass-remarks=loop-vectorize, atomic ops will be seen by
analyzeInterleaving(), even though canVectorizeMemory() == false. This
is because we are requesting extra analysis instead of bailing out.
In such a case, we end up with a Group in both Load- and StoreGroups,
and then we'll try to access freed memory when traversing LoadGroups after having had released the Group when iterating over StoreGroups.
The fix is to include mayWriteToMemory() when validating that two
instructions are the same kind of memory operation.

This method is supposed to be called for IVs that have casts in their use-def

truncates of such IVs the same InductionDescriptor is used during
creation/widening of both original IV based on PHINode and new IV based on
TruncInst.
This leads to unintended second call to recordVectorLoopValueForInductionCast
with a VectorLoopVal set to the newly created IV for a trunc and causes an
assert due to attempt to store new information for already existing entry in the
map. This is wrong and should not be done.

D30041 extended SCEVPredicateRewriter to improve handling of Phi nodes whose
update chain involves casts; PSCEV can now build an AddRecurrence for some
forms of such phi nodes, under the proper runtime overflow test. This means
that we can identify such phi nodes as an induction, and the loop-vectorizer
can now vectorize such inductions, however inefficiently. The vectorizer
doesn't know that it can ignore the casts, and so it vectorizes them.
This patch records the casts in the InductionDescriptor, so that they could
be marked to be ignored for cost calculation (we use VecValuesToIgnore for
that) and ignored for vectorization/widening/scalarization (i.e. treated as
TriviallyDead).
In addition to marking all these casts to be ignored, we also need to make
sure that each cast is mapped to the right vector value in the vector loop body
(be it a widened, vectorized, or scalarized induction). So whenever an
induction phi is mapped to a vector value (during vectorization/widening/
scalarization), we also map the respective cast instruction (if exists) to that
vector value. (If the phi-update sequence of an induction involves more than one
cast, then the above mapping to vector value is relevant only for the last cast
of the sequence as we allow only the "last cast" to be used outside the
induction update chain itself).
This is the last step in addressing PR30654.

This patch implements Chandler's idea [0] for supporting languages that
require support for infinite loops with side effects, such as Rust, providing
part of a solution to bug 965 [1].
Specifically, it adds an `llvm.sideeffect()` intrinsic, which has no actual
effect, but which appears to optimization passes to have obscure side effects,
such that they don't optimize away loops containing it. It also teaches
several optimization passes to ignore this intrinsic, so that it doesn't
significantly impact optimization in most cases.
As discussed on llvm-dev [2], this patch is the first of two major parts.
The second part, to change LLVM's semantics to have defined behavior
on infinite loops by default, with a function attribute for opting into
potential-undefined-behavior, will be implemented and posted for review in
a separate patch.

As discussed on llvm-dev:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-November/107104.html
and again more recently:

...this is a step in cleaning up our fast-math-flags implementation in IR to better match
the capabilities of both clang's user-visible flags and the backend's flags for SDNode.
As proposed in the above threads, we're replacing the 'UnsafeAlgebra' bit (which had the
'umbrella' meaning that all flags are set) with a new bit that only applies to algebraic
reassociation - 'AllowReassoc'.
We're also adding a bit to allow approximations for library functions called 'ApproxFunc'
(this was initially proposed as 'libm' or similar).
...and we're out of bits. 7 bits ought to be enough for anyone, right? :) FWIW, I did
look at getting this out of SubclassOptionalData via SubclassData (spacious 16-bits),
but that's apparently already used for other purposes. Also, I don't think we can just
add a field to FPMathOperator because Operator is not intended to be instantiated.
We'll defer movement of FMF to another day.
We keep the 'fast' keyword. I thought about removing that, but seeing IR like this:
%f.fast = fadd reassoc nnan ninf nsz arcp contract afn float %op1, %op2
...made me think we want to keep the shortcut synonym.
Finally, this change is binary incompatible with existing IR as seen in the
compatibility tests. This statement:
"Newer releases can ignore features from older releases, but they cannot miscompile
them. For example, if nsw is ever replaced with something else, dropping it would be
a valid way to upgrade the IR."
( http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#ir-backwards-compatibility )
...provides the flexibility we want to make this change without requiring a new IR
version. Ie, we're not loosening the FP strictness of existing IR. At worst, we will
fail to optimize some previously 'fast' code because it's no longer recognized as
'fast'. This should get fixed as we audit/squash all of the uses of 'isFast()'.
Note: an inter-dependent clang commit to use the new API name should closely follow
commit.
