Chandler Carruth fc25854b09 [LPM] Switch LICM to actively use LCSSA in addition to preserving it.
Fixes PR18753 and PR18782.

This is necessary for LICM to preserve LCSSA correctly and efficiently.
There is still some active discussion about whether we should be using
LCSSA, but we can't just immediately stop using it and we *need* LICM to
preserve it while we are using it. We can restore the old SSAUpdater
driven code if and when there is a serious effort to remove the reliance
on LCSSA from all of the loop passes.

However, this also serves as a great example of why LCSSA is very nice
to have. This change significantly simplifies the process of sinking
instructions for LICM, and makes it quite a bit less expensive.

It wouldn't even be as complex as it is except that I had to start the
process of removing the big recursive LCSSA formation hammer in order to
switch even this much of the re-forming code to asserting that LCSSA was
preserved. I'll fully remove that next just to tidy things up until the
LCSSA debate settles one way or the other.

Chandler Carruth 8765cf702f [LPM] Make LCSSA a utility with a FunctionPass that applies it to all
the loops in a function, and teach LICM to work in the presance of
LCSSA.

Previously, LCSSA was a loop pass. That made passes requiring it also be
loop passes and unable to depend on function analysis passes easily. It
also caused outer loops to have a different "canonical" form from inner
loops during analysis. Instead, we go into LCSSA form and preserve it
through the loop pass manager run.

Note that this has the same problem as LoopSimplify that prevents
enabling its verification -- loop passes which run at the end of the loop
pass manager and don't preserve these are valid, but the subsequent loop
pass runs of outer loops that do preserve this pass trigger too much
verification and fail because the inner loop no longer verifies.

The other problem this exposed is that LICM was completely unable to
handle LCSSA form. It didn't preserve it and it actually would give up
on moving instructions in many cases when they were used by an LCSSA phi
node. I've taught LICM to support detecting LCSSA-form PHI nodes and to
hoist and sink around them. This may actually let LICM fire
significantly more because we put everything into LCSSA form to rotate
the loop before running LICM. =/ Now LICM should handle that fine and
preserve it correctly. The down side is that LICM has to require LCSSA
in order to preserve it. This is just a fact of life for LCSSA. It's
entirely possible we should completely remove LCSSA from the optimizer.

The test updates are essentially accomodating LCSSA phi nodes in the
output of LICM, and the fact that we now completely sink every
instruction in ashr-crash below the loop bodies prior to unrolling.

With this change, LCSSA is computed only three times in the pass
pipeline. One of them could be removed (and potentially a SCEV run and
a separate LoopPassManager entirely!) if we had a LoopPass variant of
InstCombine that ran InstCombine on the loop body but refused to combine
away LCSSA PHI nodes. Currently, this also prevents loop unrolling from
being in the same loop pass manager is rotate, LICM, and unswitch.

There is one thing that I *really* don't like -- preserving LCSSA in
LICM is quite expensive. We end up having to re-run LCSSA twice for some
loops after LICM runs because LICM can undo LCSSA both in the current
loop and the parent loop. I don't really see good solutions to this
other than to completely move away from LCSSA and using tools like
SSAUpdater instead.

Stephen Lin c1c7a1309c Update Transforms tests to use CHECK-LABEL for easier debugging. No functionality change.
This update was done with the following bash script:

  find test/Transforms -name "*.ll" | \
  while read NAME; do
    echo "$NAME"
    if ! grep -q "^; *RUN: *llc" $NAME; then
      TEMP=`mktemp -t temp`
      cp $NAME $TEMP
      sed -n "s/^define [^@]*@\([A-Za-z0-9_]*\)(.*$/\1/p" < $NAME | \
      while read FUNC; do
        sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)\([A-Za-z0-9_]*\):\( *\)@$FUNC\([( ]*\)\$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3@$FUNC(/g" $TEMP
      done
      mv $TEMP $NAME
    fi
  done

Chris Lattner 263f804699 LICM does get dead instructions input to it. Instead of sinking them
out of loops, just delete them.

Dan Gohman 1880092722 Change tests from "opt %s" to "opt < %s" so that opt doesn't see the
input filename so that opt doesn't print the input filename in the
output so that grep lines in the tests don't unintentionally match
strings in the input filename.

Dan Gohman 9737a63ed8 Change these tests to feed the assembly files to opt directly, instead
of using llvm-as, now that opt supports this.
