InstCombine cannot effectively remove redundant assumptions without them
registered in the assumption cache. The vectorizer can create identical
assumptions but doesn't register them with the cache, resulting in
slower compile times because InstCombine tries to reason about a lot
more assumptions.
Fix this by registering the cloned assumptions.

This re-commits r265535 which was reverted in r265541 because it
broke the windows bots. The problem was that we had a PointerIntPair
which took a pointer to a struct allocated with new. The problem
was that new doesn't provide sufficient alignment guarantees.
This pattern was already present before r265535 and it just happened
to work. To fix this, we now separate the PointerToIntPair from the
ExitNotTakenInfo struct into a pointer and a bool.

Summary:
When the backedge taken codition is computed from an icmp, SCEV can
deduce the backedge taken count only if one of the sides of the icmp
is an AddRecExpr. However, due to sign/zero extensions, we sometimes
end up with something that is not an AddRecExpr.
However, we can use SCEV predicates to produce a 'guarded' expression.
This change adds a method to SCEV to get this expression, and the
SCEV predicate associated with it.
In HowManyGreaterThans and HowManyLessThans we will now add a SCEV
predicate associated with the guarded backedge taken count when the
analyzed SCEV expression is not an AddRecExpr. Note that we only do
this as an alternative to returning a 'CouldNotCompute'.
We use new feature in Loop Access Analysis and LoopVectorize to analyze
and transform more loops.

This change prevents the loop vectorizer from vectorizing when all of the vector
types it generates will be scalarized. I've run into this problem on the PPC's QPX
vector ISA, which only holds floating-point vector types. The loop vectorizer
will, however, happily vectorize loops with purely integer computation. Here's
an example:

...
LV: Selecting VF: 8.
LV: The target has 32 registers
LV(REG): Calculating max register usage:
LV(REG): At #0 Interval # 0
LV(REG): At #1 Interval # 1
LV(REG): At #2 Interval # 2
LV(REG): At #4 Interval # 1
LV(REG): At #5 Interval # 1
LV(REG): VF = 8
The problem is that the cost model here is not wrong, exactly. Since all of
these operations are scalarized, their cost (aside from the uniform ones) are
indeed VF*(scalar cost), just as the model suggests. In fact, the larger the VF
picked, the lower the relative overhead from the loop itself (and the
induction-variable update and check), and so in a sense, picking the largest VF
here is the right thing to do.
The problem is that vectorizing like this, where all of the vectors will be
scalarized in the backend, isn't really vectorizing, but rather interleaving.
By itself, this would be okay, but then the vectorizer itself also interleaves,
and that's where the problem manifests itself. There's aren't actually enough
scalar registers to support the normal interleave factor multiplied by a factor
of VF (8 in this example). In other words, the problem with this is that our
register-pressure heuristic does not account for scalarization.
While we might want to improve our register-pressure heuristic, I don't think
this is the right motivating case for that work. Here we have a more-basic
problem: The job of the vectorizer is to vectorize things (interleaving aside),
and if the IR it generates won't generate any actual vector code, then
something is wrong. Thus, if every type looks like it will be scalarized (i.e.
will be split into VF or more parts), then don't consider that VF.
This is not a problem specific to PPC/QPX, however. The problem comes up under
SSE on x86 too, and as such, this change fixes PR26837 too. I've added Sanjay's
reduced test case from PR26837 to this commit.

Summary:
Use the new LoopVersioning facility (D16712) to add noalias metadata in
the vector loop if we versioned with memchecks. This can enable some
optimization opportunities further down the pipeline (see the included
test or the benchmark improvement quoted in D16712).
The test also covers the bug I had in the initial version in D16712.
The vectorizer did not previously use LoopVersioning. The reason is
that the vectorizer performs its transformations in single shot. It
creates an empty single-block vector loop that it then populates with
the widened, if-converted instructions. Thus creating an intermediate
versioned scalar loop seems wasteful.
So this patch (rather than bringing in LoopVersioning fully) adds a
special interface to LoopVersioning to allow the vectorizer to add
no-alias annotation while still performing its own versioning.
As the vectorizer propagates metadata from the instructions in the
original loop to the vector instructions we also check the pointer in
the original instruction and see if LoopVersioning can add no-alias
metadata based on the issued memchecks.

This was a latent bug that got exposed by the change to add LoopSimplify
as a dependence to LoopLoadElimination. Since LoopInfo was corrupted
after LV, LoopSimplify mis-compiled nbench in the test-suite (more
details in the PR).
The problem was that when we create the blocks for predicated stores we
didn't add those to any loops.
The original testcase for store predication provides coverage for this
assuming we verify LI on the way out of LV.

This patch enables the vectorization of first-order recurrences. A first-order
recurrence is a non-reduction recurrence relation in which the value of the
recurrence in the current loop iteration equals a value defined in the previous
iteration. The load PRE of the GVN pass often creates these recurrences by
hoisting loads from within loops.
In this patch, we add a new recurrence kind for first-order phi nodes and
attempt to vectorize them if possible. Vectorization is performed by shuffling
the values for the current and previous iterations. The vectorization cost
estimate is updated to account for the added shuffle instruction.

Summary:
If we don't have the first and last access of an interleaved load group,
the first and last wide load in the loop can do an out of bounds
access. Even though we discard results from speculative loads,
this can cause problems, since it can technically generate page faults
(or worse).
We now discard interleaved load groups that don't have the first and
load in the group.

[SCEV][LAA] Add no wrap SCEV predicates and use use them to improve strided pointer detection
Summary:
This change adds no wrap SCEV predicates with:
- support for runtime checking
- support for expression rewriting:
(sext ({x,+,y}) -> {sext(x),+,sext(y)}
(zext ({x,+,y}) -> {zext(x),+,sext(y)}
Note that we are sign extending the increment of the SCEV, even for
the zext case. This is needed to cover the fairly common case where y would
be a (small) negative integer. In order to do this, this change adds two new
flags: nusw and nssw that are applicable to AddRecExprs and permit the
transformations above.
We also change isStridedPtr in LAA to be able to make use of
these predicates. With this feature we should now always be able to
work around overflow issues in the dependence analysis.

Current SCEV expansion will expand SCEV as a sequence of operations
and doesn't utilize the value already existed. This will introduce
redundent computation which may not be cleaned up throughly by
following optimizations.
This patch introduces an ExprValueMap which is a map from SCEV to the
set of equal values with the same SCEV. When a SCEV is expanded, the
set of values is checked and reused whenever possible before generating
a sequence of operations.
The original commit triggered regressions in Polly tests. The regressions
exposed two problems which have been fixed in current version.
1. Polly will generate a new function based on the old one. To generate an
instruction for the new function, it builds SCEV for the old instruction,
applies some tranformation on the SCEV generated, then expands the transformed
SCEV and insert the expanded value into new function. Because SCEV expansion
may reuse value cached in ExprValueMap, the value in old function may be
inserted into new function, which is wrong.
In SCEVExpander::expand, there is a logic to check the cached value to
be used should dominate the insertion point. However, for the above
case, the check always passes. That is because the insertion point is
in a new function, which is unreachable from the old function. However
for unreachable node, DominatorTreeBase::dominates thinks it will be
dominated by any other node.
The fix is to simply add a check that the cached value to be used in
expansion should be in the same function as the insertion point instruction.
2. When the SCEV is of scConstant type, expanding it directly is cheaper than
reusing a normal value cached. Although in the cached value set in ExprValueMap,
there is a Constant type value, but it is not easy to find it out -- the cached
Value set is not sorted according to the potential cost. Existing reuse logic
in SCEVExpander::expand simply chooses the first legal element from the cached
value set.
The fix is that when the SCEV is of scConstant type, don't try the reuse
logic. simply expand it.

ScalarEvolution.h, in order to avoid cyclic dependencies between the Transform
and Analysis modules:
[LV][LAA] Add a layer over SCEV to apply run-time checked knowledge on SCEV expressions
Summary:
This change creates a layer over ScalarEvolution for LAA and LV, and centralizes the
usage of SCEV predicates. The SCEVPredicatedLayer takes the statically deduced knowledge
by ScalarEvolution and applies the knowledge from the SCEV predicates. The end goal is
that both LAA and LV should use this interface everywhere.
This also solves a problem involving the result of SCEV expression rewritting when
the predicate changes. Suppose we have the expression (sext {a,+,b}) and two predicates
P1: {a,+,b} has nsw
P2: b = 1.
Applying P1 and then P2 gives us {a,+,1}, while applying P2 and the P1 gives us
sext({a,+,1}) (the AddRec expression was changed by P2 so P1 no longer applies).
The SCEVPredicatedLayer maintains the order of transformations by feeding back
the results of previous transformations into new transformations, and therefore
avoiding this issue.
The SCEVPredicatedLayer maintains a cache to remember the results of previous
SCEV rewritting results. This also has the benefit of reducing the overall number
of expression rewrites.

To be able to maximize the bandwidth during vectorization, this patch provides a new flag vectorizer-maximize-bandwidth. When it is turned on, the vectorizer will determine the vectorization factor (VF) using the smallest instead of widest type in the loop. To avoid increasing register pressure too much, estimates of the register usage for different VFs are calculated so that we only choose a VF when its register usage doesn't exceed the number of available registers.
This is the second attempt to submit this patch. The first attempt got a test failure on ARM. This patch is updated to try to fix the failure (more specifically, by handling the case when VF=1).

Summary:
SCEV Predicates represent conditions that typically cannot be derived from
static analysis, but can be used to reduce SCEV expressions to forms which are
usable for different optimizers.
ScalarEvolution now has the rewriteUsingPredicate method which can simplify a
SCEV expression using a SCEVPredicateSet. The normal workflow of a pass using
SCEVPredicates would be to hold a SCEVPredicateSet and every time assumptions
need to be made a new SCEV Predicate would be created and added to the set.
Each time after calling getSCEV, the user will call the rewriteUsingPredicate
method.
We add two types of predicates
SCEVPredicateSet - implements a set of predicates
SCEVEqualPredicate - tests for equality between two SCEV expressions
We use the SCEVEqualPredicate to re-implement stride versioning. Every time we
version a stride, we will add a SCEVEqualPredicate to the context.
Instead of adding specific stride checks, LoopVectorize now adds a more
generic SCEV check.
We only need to add support for this in the LoopVectorizer since this is the
only pass that will do stride versioning.

When it is turned on, the vectorizer will determine the vectorization factor (VF) using the smallest instead of widest type in the loop. To avoid increasing register pressure too much, estimates of the register usage for different VFs are calculated so that we only choose a VF when its register usage doesn't exceed the number of available registers.

Vectorization of memory instruction (Load/Store) is possible when the pointer is coming from GEP. The GEP analysis allows to estimate the profit.
In some cases we have a "bitcast" between GEP and memory instruction.
I added code that skips the "bitcast".

Besides the usual, I finally added an overload to
`BasicBlock::splitBasicBlock()` that accepts an `Instruction*` instead
of `BasicBlock::iterator`. Someone can go back and remove this overload
later (after updating the callers I'm going to skip going forward), but
the most common call seems to be
`BB->splitBasicBlock(BB->getTerminator(), ...)` and I'm not sure it's
better to add `->getIterator()` to every one than have the overload.
It's pretty hard to get the usage wrong.

Originally I planned to use the same interface for masked gather/scatter and set isConsecutive to "false" in this case.
Now I'm implementing masked gather/scatter and see that the interface is inconvenient. I want to add interfaces isLegalMaskedGather() / isLegalMaskedScatter() instead of using the "Consecutive" parameter in the existing interfaces.

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.
