When a 1-element vector alloca is promoted, a store instruction can often be
rewritten without converting the value to a scalar and using an insertelement
instruction to stuff it into the new alloca. This patch just adds a check
to skip that conversion when it is unnecessary. This turns out to be really
important for some ARM Neon operations where <1 x i64> is used to get around
the fact that i64 is not a legal type.

This should hopefully have fixed the stage2/stage3 miscompare on the dragonegg
testers.
"LoopVectorize: Use the dependence test utility class
We now no longer need alias analysis - the cases that alias analysis would
handle are now handled as accesses with a large dependence distance.
We can now vectorize loops with simple constant dependence distances.
for (i = 8; i < 256; ++i) {
a[i] = a[i+4] * a[i+8];
}
for (i = 8; i < 256; ++i) {
a[i] = a[i-4] * a[i-8];
}
We would be able to vectorize about 200 more loops (in many cases the cost model
instructs us no to) in the test suite now. Results on x86-64 are a wash.
I have seen one degradation in ammp. Interestingly, the function in which we
now vectorize a loop is never executed so we probably see some instruction
cache effects. There is a 2% improvement in h264ref. There is one or the other
TSCV loop kernel that speeds up.

CGSCC pass manager. This should insulate the inlining decisions from the
vectorization decisions, however it may have both compile time and code
size problems so it is just an experimental option right now.
Adding this based on a discussion with Arnold and it seems at least
worth having this flag for us to both run some experiments to see if
this strategy is workable. It may solve some of the regressions seen
with the loop vectorizer.

This class checks dependences by subtracting two Scalar Evolution access
functions allowing us to catch very simple linear dependences.
The checker assumes source order in determining whether vectorization is safe.
We currently don't reorder accesses.
Positive true dependencies need to be a multiple of VF otherwise we impede
store-load forwarding.

Sets of dependent accesses are built by unioning sets based on underlying
objects. This class will be used by the upcoming dependence checker.

Untill now we detected the vectorizable tree and evaluated the cost of the
entire tree. With this patch we can decide to trim-out branches of the tree
that are not profitable to vectorizer.
Also, increase the max depth from 6 to 12. In the worse possible case where all
of the code is made of diamond-shaped graph this can bring the cost to 2**10,
but diamonds are not very common.

Rewrote the SLP-vectorization as a whole-function vectorization pass. It is now able to vectorize chains across multiple basic blocks.
It still does not vectorize PHIs, but this should be easy to do now that we scan the entire function.
I removed the support for extracting values from trees.
We are now able to vectorize more programs, but there are some serious regressions in many workloads (such as flops-6 and mandel-2).

This is apart of a series of patches to encapsulate PtrState.RRI and
make PtrState.RRI a private field of PtrState.
*NOTE* This is actually the second commit in the patch stream. I should
have put this note on the first such commit r184528.

This commit completely removes what is left of the simplify-libcalls
pass. All of the functionality has now been migrated to the instcombine
and functionattrs passes. The following C API functions are now NOPs:
1. LLVMAddSimplifyLibCallsPass
2. LLVMPassManagerBuilderSetDisableSimplifyLibCalls

We collect gather sequences when we vectorize basic blocks. Gather sequences are excellent
hints for vectorization of other basic blocks.

Prior to this change, the considered addressing modes may be invalid since the
maximum and minimum offsets were not taking into account.
This was causing an assertion failure.
The added test case exercices that behavior.
<rdar://problem/14199725> Assertion failed: (CurScaleCost >= 0 && "Legal
addressing mode has an illegal cost!")

The type <3 x i8> is a common in graphics and we want to be able to vectorize it.
This changes accelerates bullet by 12% and 471_omnetpp by 5%.

This pass was assuming that if hasAddressTaken() returns false for a
function, the function's only uses are call sites. That's not true
because there can be references by BlockAddresses too.
Fix the pass to handle this case. Fix
BlockAddress::replaceUsesOfWithOnConstant() to allow a function's type
to be changed by RAUW'ing the function with a bitcast of the recreated
function.
Patch by Mark Seaborn.
