Duncan P. N. Exon Smith d905bba691 blockfreq: Approximate irreducible control flow
Previously, irreducible backedges were ignored.  With this commit,
irreducible SCCs are discovered on the fly, and modelled as loops with
multiple headers.

This approximation specifies the headers of irreducible sub-SCCs as its
entry blocks and all nodes that are targets of a backedge within it
(excluding backedges within true sub-loops).  Block frequency
calculations act as if we insert a new block that intercepts all the
edges to the headers.  All backedges and entries to the irreducible SCC
point to this imaginary block.  This imaginary block has an edge (with
even probability) to each header block.

The result is now reasonable enough that I've added a number of
testcases for irreducible control flow.  I've outlined in
`BlockFrequencyInfoImpl.h` ways to improve the approximation.

Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM)
================================

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for the Low Level
Virtual Machine, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers,
optimizers, and runtime environments.

LLVM is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of
the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.

Please see the documentation provided in docs/ for further
assistance with LLVM, and in particular docs/GettingStarted.rst for getting
started with LLVM and docs/README.txt for an overview of LLVM's
documentation setup.

If you're writing a package for LLVM, see docs/Packaging.rst for our
suggestions.
