These intrinsics, not the icmp+select are the canonical form nowadays,
so we might as well directly emit them.
This should not cause any regressions, but if it does,
then then they would needed to be fixed regardless.
Note that this doesn't deal with `SCEVExpander::isHighCostExpansion()`,
but that is a pessimization, not a correctness issue.
Additionally, the non-intrinsic form has issues with undef,
see https://reviews.llvm.org/D88287#2587863
Blindly following unique-successors chain appeared to be a bad idea.
In a degenerate case when block jumps to itself that goes into endless loop.
Discovered this problem when playing with additional changes,
managed to reproduce it on existing LoopPredication code.
Fix by checking a "visited" set while iterating through unique successors.

We may end up with a case where we have a widenable branch above the loop, but not all widenable branches within the loop have been removed. Since a widenable branch inhibit SCEVs ability to reason about exit counts (by design), we have a tradeoff between effectiveness of this optimization and allowing future widening of the branches within the loop. LoopPred is thought to be one of the most important optimizations for range check elimination, so let's pay the cost.
As a reminder, a "widenable branch" is the pattern "br i1 (and i1 X, WC()), label %taken, label %untaken" where "WC" is the widenable condition intrinsics. The semantics of such a branch (derived from the semantics of WC) is that a new condition can be added into the condition arbitrarily without violating legality.
Broaden the definition in two ways:
Allow swapped operands to the br (and X, WC()) form
Allow widenable branch w/trivial condition (i.e. true) which takes form of br i1 WC()
The former is just general robustness (e.g. for X = non-instruction this is what instcombine produces). The later is specifically important as partial unswitching of a widenable range check produces exactly this form above the loop.

Unswitch (and other loop transforms) like to generate loop exit blocks with unconditional successors, and phi nodes (LCSSA, or simple multiple exiting blocks sharing an exit). Generalize the "likely very rare exit" check slightly to handle this form.
This implements a version of the predicateLoopExits transform from IndVarSimplify extended to exploit widenable conditions - and thus be much wider in scope of legality. The code structure ends up being almost entirely different, so I chose to duplicate this into the LoopPredication pass instead of trying to reuse the code in the IndVars.
The core notions of the transform are as follows:
If we have a widenable condition which controls entry into the loop, we're allowed to widen it arbitrarily. Given that, it's simply a *profitability* question as to what conditions to fold into the widenable branch.
To avoid pass ordering issues, we want to avoid widening cases that would otherwise be dischargeable. Or... widen in a form which can still be discharged. Thus, we phrase the transform as selecting one analyzeable exit from the set of analyzeable exits to keep. This avoids creating pass ordering complexities.
Since none of the above proves that we actually exit through our analyzeable exits - we might exit through something else entirely - we limit ourselves to cases where a) the latch is analyzeable and b) the latch is predicted taken, and c) the exit being removed is statically cold.

A while back, I added support for NE latches formed by LFTR. I didn't think that quite through, as LFTR will also produce the inverse EQ form for some loops and I hadn't handled that. This change just adds handling for that case as well.

Without this, we have the unfortunate property that tests are dependent on the order of operads passed the CreateOr and CreateAnd functions. In actual usage, we'd promptly optimize them away, but it made tests slightly more verbose than they should have been.

This is a really silly bug that even a simple test w/an unconditional latch would have caught. I tried to guard against the case, but put it in the wrong if check. Oops.
llvm-svn: 362727
At the moment, LoopPredication completely bails out if it sees a latch of the form:
%cmp = icmp ne %iv, %N
br i1 %cmp, label %loop, label %exit
OR
%cmp = icmp ne %iv.next, %NPlus1
br i1 %cmp, label %loop, label %exit
This is unfortunate since this is exactly the form that LFTR likes to produce. So, go ahead and recognize simple cases where we can.
For pre-increment loops, we leverage the fact that LFTR likes canonical counters (i.e. those starting at zero) and a (presumed) range fact on RHS to discharge the check trivially.
For post-increment forms, the key insight is in remembering that LFTR had to insert a (N+1) for the RHS. CVP can hopefully prove that add nsw/nuw (if there's appropriate range on N to start with). This leaves us both with the post-inc IV and the RHS involving an nsw/nuw add, and SCEV can discharge that with no problem.
This does still need to be extended to handle non-one steps, or other harder patterns of variable (but range restricted) starting values. That'll come later.

The bug is that I didn't check whether the operand of the invariant_loads were themselves invariant. I don't know how this got missed in the patch and review. I even had an unreduced test case locally, and I remember handling this case, but I must have lost it in one of the rebases. Oops.

The purpose of this patch is to eliminate a pass ordering dependence between LoopPredication and LICM. To understand the purpose, consider the following snippet of code inside some loop 'L' with IV 'i'
A = _a.length;
guard (i < A)
a = _a[i]
B = _b.length;
guard (i < B);
b = _b[i];
...
Z = _z.length;
guard (i < Z)
z = _z[i]
accum += a + b + ... + z;
Today, we need LICM to hoist the length loads, LoopPredication to make the guards loop invariant, and TrivialUnswitch to eliminate the loop invariant guard to establish must execute for the next length load. Today, if we can't prove speculation safety, we'd have to iterate these three passes 26 times to reduce this example down to the minimal form.
Using the fact that the array lengths are known to be invariant, we can short circuit this iteration. By forming the loop invariant form of all the guards at once, we remove the need for LoopPredication from the iterative cycle. At the moment, we'd still have to iterate LICM and TrivialUnswitch; we'll leave that part for later.
As a secondary benefit, this allows LoopPred to expose peeling oppurtunities in a much more obvious manner. See the udiv test changes as an example. If the udiv was not hoistable (i.e. we couldn't prove speculation safety) this would be an example where peeling becomes obviously profitable whereas it wasn't before.
A couple of subtleties in the implementation:
- SCEV's isSafeToExpand guarantees speculation safety (i.e. let's us expand at a new point). It is not a precondition for expansion if we know the SCEV corresponds to a Value which dominates the requested expansion point.
- SCEV's isLoopInvariant returns true for expressions which compute the same value across all iterations executed, regardless of where the original Value is located. (i.e. it can be in the loop) This implies we have a speculation burden to prove before expanding them outside loops.
- invariant_loads and AA->pointsToConstantMemory are two cases that SCEV currently does not handle, but meets the SCEV definition of invariance. I plan to sink this part into SCEV once this has baked for a bit.

The code was failing to actually check for the presence of the call to widenable_condition. The whole point of specifying the widenable_condition intrinsic was allowing widening transforms. A normal branch is not widenable. A normal branch leading to a deopt is not widenable (in general).
I added a test case via LoopPredication, but GuardWidening has an analogous bug. Those are the only two passes actually using this utility just yet. Noticed while working on LoopPredication for non-widenable branches; POC in D60111.

We'd been optimizing the case where the predicate was obviously true, do the same for the false case. Mostly just for completeness sake, but also may improve compile time in loops which will exit through the guard. Such loops are presumed rare in fastpath code, but may be present down untaken paths, so optimizing for them is still useful.
llvm-svn: 357408
LoopPredication was replacing the original condition, but leaving the instructions to compute the old conditions around. This would get cleaned up by other passes of course, but we might as well do it eagerly. That also makes the test output less confusing.

conditions in Loop Predication.

Summary:
LoopPredication is not profitable when the loop is known to always exit
through some block other than the latch block.
A coarse grained latch check can cause loop predication to predicate the
loop, and unconditionally deoptimize.
However, without predicating the loop, the guard may never fail within the
loop during the dynamic execution because the non-latch loop termination
condition exits the loop before the latch condition causes the loop to
exit.
We teach LP about this using BranchProfileInfo pass.

Summary:
This patch allows us to predicate range checks that have a type narrower than
the latch check type. We leverage SCEV analysis to identify a truncate for the
latchLimit and latchStart.
There is also safety checks in place which requires the start and limit to be
known at compile time. We require this to make sure that the SCEV truncate expr
for the IV corresponding to the latch does not cause us to lose information
about the IV range.
Added tests show the loop predication over range checks that are of various
types and are narrower than the latch type.
This enhancement has been in our downstream tree for a while.

This is a follow up change for D37569.
Currently the transformation is limited to the case when:
* The loop has a single latch with the condition of the form: ++i <pred> latchLimit, where <pred> is u<, u<=, s<, or s<=.
* The step of the IV used in the latch condition is 1.
* The IV of the latch condition is the same as the post increment IV of the guard condition.
* The guard condition is of the form i u< guardLimit.
This patch enables the transform in the case when the latch is
latchStart + i <pred> latchLimit, where <pred> is u<, u<=, s<, or s<=.
And the guard is
guardStart + i u< guardLimit

To fix the problem we had to rework the pass substantially. We have had the

patch of the series of changes to upstream the new implementation.
For now the transformation is limited to the following case:
* The loop has a single latch with either ult or slt icmp condition.
* The step of the IV used in the latch condition is 1.
* The IV of the latch condition is the same as the post increment IV of the guard condition.
* The guard condition is ult.

This patch introduces guard based loop predication optimization. The new LoopPredication pass tries to convert loop variant range checks to loop invariant by widening checks across loop iterations. For example, it will convert
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
guard(i < len);
...
}
to
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
guard(n - 1 < len);
...
}
After this transformation the condition of the guard is loop invariant, so loop-unswitch can later unswitch the loop by this condition which basically predicates the loop by the widened condition:
if (n - 1 < len)
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
...
}
else
deoptimize
This patch relies on an NFC change to make ScalarEvolution::isMonotonicPredicate public (revision 293062).
