This came up when a change in block placement formed a cmov and slowed down a
hot loop by 50%:
ucomisd (%rdi), %xmm0
cmovbel %edx, %esi
cmov is a really bad choice in this context because it doesn't get branch
prediction. If we emit it as a branch, an out-of-order CPU can do a better job
(if the branch is predicted right) and avoid waiting for the slow load+compare
instruction to finish. Of course it won't help if the branch is unpredictable,
but those are really rare in practice.
This patch uses a dumb conservative heuristic, it turns all cmovs that have one
use and a direct memory operand into branches. cmovs usually save some code
size, so we disable the transform in -Os mode. In-Order architectures are
unlikely to benefit as well, those are included in the
"predictableSelectIsExpensive" flag.
It would be better to reuse branch probability info here, but BPI doesn't
support select instructions currently. It would make sense to use the same
heuristics as the if-converter pass, which does the opposite direction of this
transform.
Test suite shows a small improvement here and there on corei7-level machines,
but the actual results depend a lot on the used microarchitecture. The
transformation is currently disabled by default and available by passing the
-enable-cgp-select2branch flag to the code generator.
Thanks to Chandler for the initial test case to him and Evan Cheng for providing
me with comments and test-suite numbers that were more stable than mine :)

of the CodeExtractor utility. This allows speculatively computing input
and output sets to measure the likely size impact of the code
extraction.
These sets cannot be reused sadly -- we mutate the function prior to
forming the final sets used by the actual extraction.
The interface has been revamped slightly to make it easier to use
correctly by making the interface const and sinking the computation of
the number of exit blocks into the full extraction function and away
from the rest of this logic which just computed two output parameters.

and expose it as a utility class rather than as free function wrappers.
The simple free-function interface works well for the bugpoint-specific
pass's uses of code extraction, but in an upcoming patch for more
advanced code extraction, they simply don't expose a rich enough
interface. I need to expose various stages of the process of doing the
code extraction and query information to decide whether or not to
actually complete the extraction or give up.
Rather than build up a new predicate model and pass that into these
functions, just take the class that was actually implementing the
functions and lift it up into a proper interface that can be used to
perform code extraction. The interface is cleaned up and re-documented
to work better in a header. It also is now setup to accept the blocks to
be extracted in the constructor rather than in a method.
In passing this essentially reverts my previous commit here exposing
a block-level query for eligibility of extraction. That is no longer
necessary with the more rich interface as clients can query the
extraction object for eligibility directly. This will reduce the number
of walks of the input basic block sequence by quite a bit which is
useful if this enters the normal optimization pipeline.

minor behavior changes with this, but nothing I have seen evidence of in
the wild or expect to be meaningful. The real goal is unifying our logic
and simplifying the interfaces. A summary of the changes follows:
- Make 'callIsSmall' actually accept a callsite so it can handle
intrinsics, and simplify callers appropriately.
- Nuke a completely bogus declaration of 'callIsSmall' that was still
lurking in InlineCost.h... No idea how this got missed.
- Teach the 'isInstructionFree' about the various more intelligent
'free' heuristics that got added to the inline cost analysis during
review and testing. This mostly surrounds int->ptr and ptr->int casts.
- Switch most of the interesting parts of the inline cost analysis that
were essentially computing 'is this instruction free?' to use the code
metrics routine instead. This way we won't keep duplicating logic.
All of this is motivated by the desire to allow other passes to compute
a roughly equivalent 'cost' metric for a particular basic block as the
inline cost analysis. Sadly, re-using the same analysis for both is
really messy because only the actual inline cost analysis is ever going
to go to the contortions required for simplification, SROA analysis,
etc.

extraction into a public interface. Also clean it up and apply it more
consistently such that we check for landing pads *anywhere* in the
extracted code, not just in single-block extraction.
This will be used to guide decisions in passes that are planning to
eventually perform a round of code extraction.

This is a second attempt at a fix for this, the first was r155468. Thanks
to Chandler, Bob and others for the feedback that helped me improve this.

Allow the "SplitCriticalEdge" function to split the edge to a landing pad. If
the pass is *sure* that it thinks it knows what it's doing, then it may go ahead
and specify that the landing pad can have its critical edge split. The loop
unswitch pass is one of these passes. It will split the critical edges of all
edges coming from a loop to a landing pad not within the loop. Doing so will
retain important loop analysis information, such as loop simplify.

Target specific types should not be vectorized. As a practical matter,
these types are already register matched (at least in the x86 case),
and codegen does not always work correctly (at least in the ppc case,
and this is not worth fixing because ppc_fp128 is currently broken and
will probably go away soon).

The required checks are moved to ChainInstruction() itself and the
policy decisions are moved to IVChain::isProfitableInc().
Also cache the ExprBase in IVChain to avoid frequent recomputations.
No functional change intended.

elements to minimize the number of multiplies required to compute the
final result. This uses a heuristic to attempt to form near-optimal
binary exponentiation-style multiply chains. While there are some cases
it misses, it seems to at least a decent job on a very diverse range of
inputs.
Initial benchmarks show no interesting regressions, and an 8%
improvement on SPASS. Let me know if any other interesting results (in
either direction) crop up!

Original commit message:
Defer some shl transforms to DAGCombine.
The shl instruction is used to represent multiplication by a constant
power of two as well as bitwise left shifts. Some InstCombine
transformations would turn an shl instruction into a bit mask operation,
making it difficult for later analysis passes to recognize the
constsnt multiplication.
Disable those shl transformations, deferring them to DAGCombine time.
An 'shl X, C' instruction is now treated mostly the same was as 'mul X, C'.
These transformations are deferred:
(X >>? C) << C --> X & (-1 << C) (When X >> C has multiple uses)
(X >>? C1) << C2 --> X << (C2-C1) & (-1 << C2) (When C2 > C1)
(X >>? C1) << C2 --> X >>? (C1-C2) & (-1 << C2) (When C1 > C2)
The corresponding exact transformations are preserved, just like
div-exact + mul:
(X >>?,exact C) << C --> X
(X >>?,exact C1) << C2 --> X << (C2-C1)
(X >>?,exact C1) << C2 --> X >>?,exact (C1-C2)
The disabled transformations could also prevent the instruction selector
from recognizing rotate patterns in hash functions and cryptographic
primitives. I have a test case for that, but it is too fragile.

While the patch was perfect and defect free, it exposed a really nasty
bug in X86 SelectionDAG that caused an llc crash when compiling lencod.
I'll put the patch back in after fixing the SelectionDAG problem.

If the loop contains invoke instructions, whose unwind edge escapes the loop,
then don't try to unswitch the loop. Doing so may cause the unwind edge to be
split, which not only is non-trivial but doesn't preserve loop simplify
information.

This introduces a threshold of 200 IV Users, which is very
conservative but should be sufficient to avoid serious compile time
sink or stack overflow. The llvm test-suite with LTO never exceeds 190
users per loop.
The bug doesn't relate to a specific type of loop. Checking in an
arbitrary giant loop as a unit test would be silly.
Fixes rdar://11262507.
