Current SCEV expansion will expand SCEV as a sequence of operations
and doesn't utilize the value already existed. This will introduce
redundent computation which may not be cleaned up throughly by
following optimizations.
This patch introduces an ExprValueMap which is a map from SCEV to the
set of equal values with the same SCEV. When a SCEV is expanded, the
set of values is checked and reused whenever possible before generating
a sequence of operations.
The original commit triggered regressions in Polly tests. The regressions
exposed two problems which have been fixed in current version.
1. Polly will generate a new function based on the old one. To generate an
instruction for the new function, it builds SCEV for the old instruction,
applies some tranformation on the SCEV generated, then expands the transformed
SCEV and insert the expanded value into new function. Because SCEV expansion
may reuse value cached in ExprValueMap, the value in old function may be
inserted into new function, which is wrong.
In SCEVExpander::expand, there is a logic to check the cached value to
be used should dominate the insertion point. However, for the above
case, the check always passes. That is because the insertion point is
in a new function, which is unreachable from the old function. However
for unreachable node, DominatorTreeBase::dominates thinks it will be
dominated by any other node.
The fix is to simply add a check that the cached value to be used in
expansion should be in the same function as the insertion point instruction.
2. When the SCEV is of scConstant type, expanding it directly is cheaper than
reusing a normal value cached. Although in the cached value set in ExprValueMap,
there is a Constant type value, but it is not easy to find it out -- the cached
Value set is not sorted according to the potential cost. Existing reuse logic
in SCEVExpander::expand simply chooses the first legal element from the cached
value set.
The fix is that when the SCEV is of scConstant type, don't try the reuse
logic. simply expand it.

In `IndVarSimplify::ExpandSCEVIfNeeded`,
`SCEVExpander::findExistingExpansion` may return an `llvm::Value` that
differs in type from the SCEV it was asked to find an expansion for (but
computes the same value). In such cases, we fall back on
`expandCodeFor`; and rely on LLVM to CSE the two equivalent
expressions (different only by a no-op cast) into a single computation.
I tried a few other approaches to fixing PR24783, all of which turned
out to be more complex than this current version:
1. Move the `ExpandSCEVIfNeeded` logic into `expandCodeFor`. This got
problematic because currently we do not pass in the `Loop *` into
`expandCodeFor`. Changing the interface to do this is a more
invasive change, and really does not make much semantic sense unless
the SCEV being passed in is an add recurrence.
There is also the problem of `expandCodeFor` being used in places
other than `indvars` -- there may be performance / correctness
issues elsewhere if `expandCodeFor` is moved from always generating
IR from scratch to cache-like model.
2. Have `findExistingExpansion` only return expression with the correct
type. This would make `isHighCostExpansionHelper` and thus
`isHighCostExpansion` more conservative than necessary.
3. Insert casts on the value returned by `findExistingExpansion` if
needed using `InsertNoopCastOfTo`. This is complicated because
`InsertNoopCastOfTo` depends on internal state of its
`SCEVExpander` (specifically `Builder.GetInserPoint()`), and this
may not be set up when `ExpandSCEVIfNeeded` is called.
4. Manually insert casts on the value returned by
`findExistingExpansion` if needed using `InsertNoopCastOfTo` via
`CastInst::Create`. This is probably workable, but figuring out the
location where the cast instruction needs to be inserted has enough
edge cases (arguments, constants, invokes, LCSSA must be preserved)
makes me feel what I have right now is simplest solution.
