Sorting is replaced by a demand driven code generation that will pre-load a
value when it is needed or, if it was not needed before, at some point
determined by the order of invariant accesses in the program. Only in very
little cases this demand driven pre-loading will kick in, though it will
prevent us from generating faulty code. An example where it is needed is
shown in:
test/ScopInfo/invariant_loads_complicated_dependences.ll
Invariant loads that appear in parameters but are not on the top-level (e.g.,
the parameter is not a SCEVUnknown) will now be treated correctly.

If a (assumed) invariant location is loaded multiple times we
generated a parameter for each location. However, this caused compile
time problems for several benchmarks (e.g., 445_gobmk in SPEC2006 and
BT in the NAS benchmarks). Additionally, the code we generate is
suboptimal as we preload the same location multiple times and perform
the same checks on all the parameters that refere to the same value.
With this patch we consolidate the invariant loads in three steps:
1) During SCoP initialization required invariant loads are put in
equivalence classes based on their pointer operand. One
representing load is used to generate a parameter for the whole
class, thus we never generate multiple parameters for the same
location.
2) During the SCoP simplification we remove invariant memory
accesses that are in the same equivalence class. While doing so
we build the union of all execution domains as it is only
important that the location is at least accessed once.
3) During code generation we only preload one element of each
equivalence class with the unified execution domain. All others
are mapped to that preloaded value.

This patch allows invariant loads to be used in the SCoP description,
e.g., as loop bounds, conditions or in memory access functions.
First we collect "required invariant loads" during SCoP detection that
would otherwise make an expression we care about non-affine. To this
end a new level of abstraction was introduced before
SCEVValidator::isAffineExpr() namely ScopDetection::isAffine() and
ScopDetection::onlyValidRequiredInvariantLoads(). Here we can decide
if we want a load inside the region to be optimistically assumed
invariant or not. If we do, it will be marked as required and in the
SCoP generation we bail if it is actually not invariant. If we don't
it will be a non-affine expression as before. At the moment we
optimistically assume all "hoistable" (namely non-loop-carried) loads
to be invariant. This causes us to expand some SCoPs and dismiss them
later but it also allows us to detect a lot we would dismiss directly
if we would ask e.g., AliasAnalysis::canBasicBlockModify(). We also
allow potential aliases between optimistically assumed invariant loads
and other pointers as our runtime alias checks are sound in case the
loads are actually invariant. Together with the invariant checks this
combination allows to handle a lot more than LICM can.
The code generation of the invariant loads had to be extended as we
can now have dependences between parameters and invariant (hoisted)
loads as well as the other way around, e.g.,
test/Isl/CodeGen/invariant_load_parameters_cyclic_dependence.ll
First, it is important to note that we cannot have real cycles but
only dependences from a hoisted load to a parameter and from another
parameter to that hoisted load (and so on). To handle such cases we
materialize llvm::Values for parameters that are referred by a hoisted
load on demand and then materialize the remaining parameters. Second,
there are new kinds of dependences between hoisted loads caused by the
constraints on their execution. If a hoisted load is conditionally
executed it might depend on the value of another hoisted load. To deal
with such situations we sort them already in the ScopInfo such that
they can be generated in the order they are listed in the
Scop::InvariantAccesses list (see compareInvariantAccesses). The
dependences between hoisted loads caused by indirect accesses are
handled the same way as before.
