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.
This concludes the series of patches leading up to this. The most recent
of which is r344108.

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.

These intrinsics are modelled as writing for control flow purposes, but they don't actually write to any location. Marking these - as we did for guards - allows LICM to hoist loads out of loops containing invariant.starts.

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 fix is fairly simple, but is says something unpleasant about the usage and testing of invariant.start/end scopes that this went undetected. To put this in perspective, *any* invariant.end in a loop flowing through LICM crashed. I haven't bothered to figure out just how far back this goes, but it's not caused by any of the recent changes. We're probably talking months if not years.

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.

Summary:
When salvaging a dbg.declare/dbg.addr we should not add
DW_OP_stack_value to the DIExpression
(see test/Transforms/InstCombine/salvage-dbg-declare.ll).
Consider this example
%vla = alloca i32, i64 2
call void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata i32* %vla, metadata !1, metadata !DIExpression())
Instcombine will turn it into
%vla1 = alloca [2 x i32]
%vla1.sub = getelementptr inbounds [2 x i32], [2 x i32]* %vla, i64 0, i64 0
call void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata [2 x i32]* %vla1.sub, metadata !19, metadata !DIExpression())
If the GEP can be eliminated, then the dbg.declare will be salvaged
and we should get
%vla1 = alloca [2 x i32]
call void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata [2 x i32]* %vla1, metadata !19, metadata !DIExpression())
The problem was that salvageDebugInfo did not recognize dbg.declare
as being indirect (%vla1 points to the value, it does not hold the
value), so we incorrectly got
call void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata [2 x i32]* %vla1, metadata !19, metadata !DIExpression(DW_OP_stack_value))
I also made sure that llvm::salvageDebugInfo and
DIExpression::prependOpcodes do not add DW_OP_stack_value to
the DIExpression in case no new operands are added to the
DIExpression. That way we avoid to, unneccessarily, turn a
register location expression into an implicit location expression
in some situations (see test11 in test/Transforms/LICM/sinking.ll).

Summary:
Look past debug intrinsics when querying whether an instruction is the
first instruction in the header block. The commit includes a reproducer
for a case where LICM would not hoist an instruction, due to the presence
of the intrinsic.
A caveat with this commit is that the check will not work properly if
the instruction at hand is a debug intrinsic. I assume that no one
depends on isGuaranteedToExecute() to return true for debug intrinsics
for these cases (and that this might be an indication of another debug
invariant issue), so I thought that it was not worth adding that extra
bit of complexity.

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

Computing this property within the existing walk ensures that the cost is linear with the size of the block. If we did this from within isGuaranteedToExecute, it would be quadratic without some very fancy caching.
This allows us to reliably catch a hoistable instruction within a header which may throw at some point *after* our hoistable instruction. It doesn't do anything for non-header cases, but given how common single block loops are, this seems very worthwhile.

We currently have a hard to solve analysis problem around the order of instructions within a potentially throwing block. We can't cheaply determine whether a given instruction is before the first potential throw in the block. While we're working on that in the background, special case the first instruction within the header.
why this particular special case? Well, headers are guaranteed to execute if the loop does, and it turns out we tend to produce this form in practice.
In a follow on patch, I tend to extend LICM with an alternate approach which works for any instruction in the header before the first throw, but this is the best I can come up with other users of the analysis (such as store promotion.)
Note: I can't show the difference in the analysis result since we're ORing in the expensive instruction walk used by SCEV. Using the full walk is not suitable for a general solution.

It is common to have conditional exits within a loop which are known not to be taken on some iterations, but not necessarily all. This patches extends our reasoning around guaranteed to execute (used when establishing whether it's safe to dereference a location from the preheader) to handle the case where an exit is known not to be taken on the first iteration and the instruction of interest *is* known to be taken on the first iteration.
This case comes up in two major ways:
* If we have a range check which we've been unable to eliminate, we frequently know that it doesn't fail on the first iteration.
* Pass ordering. We may have a check which will be eliminated through some sequence of other passes, but depending on the exact pass sequence we might never actually do so or we might miss other optimizations from passes run before the check is finally eliminated.
The initial version (here) is implemented via InstSimplify. At the moment, it catches a few cases, but misses a lot too. I added test cases for missing cases in InstSimplify which I'll follow up on separately. Longer term, we should probably wire SCEV through to here to get much smarter loop aware simplification of the first iteration predicate.
