Adam Nemet 32e6a34c02 [LDist] Match behavior between invoking via optimization pipeline or opt -loop-distribute
In r267672, where the loop distribution pragma was introduced, I tried
it hard to keep the old behavior for opt: when opt is invoked
with -loop-distribute, it should distribute the loop (it's off by
default when ran via the optimization pipeline).

As MichaelZ has discovered this has the unintended consequence of
breaking a very common developer work-flow to reproduce compilations
using opt: First you print the pass pipeline of clang
with -debug-pass=Arguments and then invoking opt with the returned
arguments.

clang -debug-pass will include -loop-distribute but the pass is invoked
with default=off so nothing happens unless the loop carries the pragma.
While through opt (default=on) we will try to distribute all loops.

This changes opt's default to off as well to match clang.  The tests are
modified to explicitly enable the transformation.

Silviu Baranga 2910a4f6b1 Allow LLE/LD and the loop versioning infrastructure to use SCEV predicates
Summary:
LAA currently generates a set of SCEV predicates that must be checked by users.
In the case of Loop Distribute/Loop Load Elimination, no such predicates could have
been emitted, since we don't allow stride versioning. However, in the future there
could be SCEV predicates that will need to be checked.

This change adds support for SCEV predicate versioning in the Loop Distribute, Loop
Load Eliminate and the loop versioning infrastructure.

Silviu Baranga 1b6b50a921 [LAA] Merge memchecks for accesses separated by a constant offset
Summary:
Often filter-like loops will do memory accesses that are
separated by constant offsets. In these cases it is
common that we will exceed the threshold for the
allowable number of checks.

However, it should be possible to merge such checks,
sice a check of any interval againt two other intervals separated
by a constant offset (a,b), (a+c, b+c) will be equivalent with
a check againt (a, b+c), as long as (a,b) and (a+c, b+c) overlap.
Assuming the loop will be executed for a sufficient number of
iterations, this will be true. If not true, checking against
(a, b+c) is still safe (although not equivalent).

As long as there are no dependencies between two accesses,
we can merge their checks into a single one. We use this
technique to construct groups of accesses, and then check
the intervals associated with the groups instead of
checking the accesses directly.

Adam Nemet f530b329c7 [LoopDist] Improve variable names and comments in LoopVersioning class, NFC
As with the previous patch, the goal is to turn the class into a general
loop-versioning class.  This patch removes any references to loop
distribution.

Adam Nemet 938d3d63d6 New Loop Distribution pass
Summary:
This implements the initial version as was proposed earlier this year
(http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-January/080462.html).
Since then Loop Access Analysis was split out from the Loop Vectorizer
and was made into a separate analysis pass.  Loop Distribution becomes
the second user of this analysis.

The pass is off by default and can be enabled
with -enable-loop-distribution.  There is currently no notion of
profitability; if there is a loop with dependence cycles, the pass will
try to split them off from other memory operations into a separate loop.

I decided to remove the control-dependence calculation from this first
version.  This and the issues with the PDT are actively discussed so it
probably makes sense to treat it separately.  Right now I just mark all
terminator instruction required which keeps identical CFGs for each
distributed loop.  This seems to be working pretty well for 456.hmmer
where even though there is an empty if-then block in the distributed
loop initially, it gets completely removed.

The pass keeps DominatorTree and LoopInfo updated.  I've tested this
with -loop-distribute-verify with the testsuite where we distribute ~90
loops.  SimplifyLoop is violated in some cases and I have a FIXME
covering this.
