This adds a new vectorize predication loop hint:
#pragma clang loop vectorize_predicate(enable)
that can be used to indicate to the vectoriser that all (load/store)
instructions should be predicated (masked). This allows, for example, folding
of the remainder loop into the main loop.
This patch will be followed up with D64916 and D65197. The former is a
refactoring in the loopvectorizer and the groundwork to make tail loop folding
a more general concept, and in the latter the actual tail loop folding
transformation will be implemented.

Before this patch, CGLoop would dump all transformations for a loop into
a single LoopID without encoding any order in which to apply them.
rL348944 added the possibility to encode a transformation order using
followup-attributes.
When a loop has more than one transformation, use the follow-up
attribute define the order in which they are applied. The emitted order
is the defacto order as defined by the current LLVM pass pipeline,
which is:
LoopFullUnrollPass
LoopDistributePass
LoopVectorizePass
LoopUnrollAndJamPass
LoopUnrollPass
MachinePipeliner
This patch should therefore not change the assembly output, assuming
that all explicit transformations can be applied, and no implicit
transformations in-between. In the former case,
WarnMissedTransformationsPass should emit a warning (except for
MachinePipeliner which is not implemented yet). The latter could be
avoided by adding 'llvm.loop.disable_nonforced' attributes.
Because LoopUnrollAndJamPass processes a loop nest, generation of the
MDNode is delayed to after the inner loop metadata have been processed.
A temporary LoopID is therefore used to annotate instructions and
RAUW'ed by the actual LoopID later.

Summary:
[OpenCL] Generate 'unroll.enable' metadata for __attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint))
For both !{!"llvm.loop.unroll.enable"} and !{!"llvm.loop.unroll.full"} the unroller
will try to fully unroll a loop unless the trip count is not known at compile time.
In that case for '.full' metadata no unrolling will be processed, while for '.enable'
the loop will be partially unrolled with a heuristically chosen unroll factor.
See: docs/LanguageExtensions.rst
From https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/sdk/2.0/docs/man/xhtml/attributes-loopUnroll.html
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint))
for (int i=0; i<2; i++)
{
...
}
In the example above, the compiler will determine how much to unroll the loop.
Before the patch for __attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint)) was generated metadata
!{!"llvm.loop.unroll.full"}, which limits ability of loop unroller to decide, how
much to unroll the loop.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and

This patch adds #pragma clang loop pipeline and #pragma clang loop pipeline_initiation_interval for debugging or reducing compile time purposes. It is possible to disable SWP for concrete loops to save compilation time or to find bugs by not doing SWP to certain loops. It is possible to set value of initiation interval to concrete number to save compilation time by not doing extra pipeliner passes or to check created schedule for specific initiation interval.

This adds support for the unroll_and_jam pragma, to go with the recently
added unroll and jam pass. The name of the pragma is the same as is used
in the Intel compiler, and most of the code works the same as for unroll.
#pragma clang loop unroll_and_jam has been separated into a different
patch. This part adds #pragma unroll_and_jam with an optional count, and
#pragma no_unroll_and_jam to disable the transform.

can be used to improve the locations when generating remarks for loops.
Depends on the companion LLVM change r286227.
Patch by Florian Hahn.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D25764
llvm-svn: 286456
Summary:
This is similar to other loop pragmas like 'vectorize'. Currently it
only has state values: distribute(enable) and distribute(disable). When
one of these is specified the corresponding loop metadata is generated:
!{!"llvm.loop.distribute.enable", i1 true/false}
As a result, loop distribution will be attempted on the loop even if
Loop Distribution in not enabled globally. Analogously, with 'disable'
distribution can be turned off for an individual loop even when the pass
is otherwise enabled.
There are some slight differences compared to the existing loop pragmas.
1. There is no 'assume_safety' variant which makes its handling slightly
different from 'vectorize'/'interleave'.
2. Unlike the existing loop pragmas, it does not have a corresponding
numeric pragma like 'vectorize' -> 'vectorize_width'. So for the
consistency checks in CheckForIncompatibleAttributes we don't need to
check it against other pragmas. We just need to check for duplicates of
the same pragma.

Getting accurate locations for loops is important, because those locations are
used by the frontend to generate optimization remarks. Currently, optimization
remarks for loops often appear on the wrong line, often the first line of the
loop body instead of the loop itself. This is confusing because that line might
itself be another loop, or might be somewhere else completely if the body was
an inlined function call. This happens because of the way we find the loop's
starting location. First, we look for a preheader, and if we find one, and its
terminator has a debug location, then we use that. Otherwise, we look for a
location on an instruction in the loop header.
The fallback heuristic is not bad, but will almost always find the beginning of
the body, and not the loop statement itself. The preheader location search
often fails because there's often not a preheader, and even when there is a
preheader, depending on how it was formed, it sometimes carries the location of
some preceeding code.
I don't see any good theoretical way to fix this problem. On the other hand,
this seems like a straightforward solution: Put the debug location in the
loop's llvm.loop metadata. When emitting debug information, this commit causes
us to add the debug location as an operand to each loop's llvm.loop metadata.
Thus, we now generate this metadata for all loops (not just loops with
optimization hints) when we're otherwise generating debug information.
The remark test case changes depend on the companion LLVM commit r270771.

This change adds the new unroll metadata "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" which directs
the optimizer to unroll a loop fully if the trip count is known at compile time, and
unroll partially if the trip count is not known at compile time. This differs from
"llvm.loop.unroll.full" which explicitly does not unroll a loop if the trip count is not
known at compile time
With this change "#pragma unroll" generates "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" rather than
"llvm.loop.unroll.full" metadata. This changes the semantics of "#pragma unroll" slightly
to mean "unroll aggressively (fully or partially)" rather than "unroll fully or not at all".
The motivating example for this change was some internal code with a loop marked
with "#pragma unroll" which only sometimes had a compile-time trip count depending
on template magic. When the trip count was a compile-time constant, everything works
as expected and the loop is fully unrolled. However, when the trip count was not a
compile-time constant the "#pragma unroll" explicitly disabled unrolling of the loop(!).
Removing "#pragma unroll" caused the loop to be unrolled partially which was desirable
from a performance perspective.
llvm-svn: 244467
When ‘#pragma clang loop vectorize(assume_safety)’ was specified on a loop other loop hints were lost. The problem is that CGLoopInfo attaches metadata differently than EmitCondBrHints in CGStmt. For do-loops CGLoopInfo attaches metadata to the br in the body block and for while and for loops, the inc block. EmitCondBrHints on the other hand always attaches data to the br in the cond block. When specifying assume_safety CGLoopInfo emits an empty llvm.loop metadata shadowing the metadata in the cond block. Loop transformations like rotate and unswitch would then eliminate the cond block and its non-empty metadata.
This patch unifies both approaches for adding metadata and modifies the existing safety tests to include non-assume_safety loop hints.
llvm-svn: 243315
Specifying #pragma clang loop vectorize(assume_safety) on a loop adds the
mem.parallel_loop_access metadata to each load/store operation in the loop. This
metadata tells loop access analysis (LAA) to skip memory dependency checking.

such that they have a common 'llvm.loop.' prefix. Metadata name
changes:
llvm.vectorizer.* => llvm.loop.vectorizer.*

This was a suggestion from an earlier review
(http://reviews.llvm.org/D4090) which added the loop unrolling
