This is a simple implementation of the unroll-and-jam classical loop
optimisation.
The basic idea is that we take an outer loop of the form:
for i..
ForeBlocks(i)
for j..
SubLoopBlocks(i, j)
AftBlocks(i)
Instead of doing normal inner or outer unrolling, we unroll as follows:
for i... i+=2
ForeBlocks(i)
ForeBlocks(i+1)
for j..
SubLoopBlocks(i, j)
SubLoopBlocks(i+1, j)
AftBlocks(i)
AftBlocks(i+1)
Remainder
So we have unrolled the outer loop, then jammed the two inner loops into
one. This can lead to a simpler inner loop if memory accesses can be shared
between the now-jammed loops.
To do this we have to prove that this is all safe, both for the memory
accesses (using dependence analysis) and that ForeBlocks(i+1) can move before
AftBlocks(i) and SubLoopBlocks(i, j).

On some targets, the penalty of executing runtime unrolling checks
and then not the unrolled loop can be significantly detrimental to
performance. This results in the need to be more conservative with
the unroll count, keeping a trip count of 2 reduces the overhead as
well as increasing the chance of the unrolled body being executed. But
being conservative leaves performance gains on the table.
This patch enables the unrolling of the remainder loop introduced by
runtime unrolling. This can help reduce the overhead of misunrolled
loops because the cost of non-taken branches is much less than the
cost of the backedge that would normally be executed in the remainder
loop. This allows larger unroll factors to be used without suffering
performance loses with smaller iteration counts.

results when a loop is completely removed.
This is very hard to manifest as a visible bug. You need to arrange for
there to be a subsequent allocation of a 'Loop' object which gets the
exact same address as the one which the unroll deleted, and you need the
LoopAccessAnalysis results to be significant in the way that they're
stale. And you need a million other things to align.
But when it does, you get a deeply mysterious crash due to actually
finding a stale analysis result. This fixes the issue and tests for it
by directly checking we successfully invalidate things. I have not been
able to get *any* test case to reliably trigger this. Changes to LLVM
itself caused the only test case I ever had to cease to crash.
I've looked pretty extensively at less brittle ways of fixing this and
they are actually very, very hard to do. This is a somewhat strange and
unusual case as we have a pass which is deleting an IR unit, but is not
running within that IR unit's pass framework (which is what handles this
cleanly for the normal loop unroll). And where there isn't a definitive
way to clear *all* of the stale cache entries. And where the pass *is*
updating the core analysis that provides the IR units!
For example, we don't have any of these problems with Function analyses
because it is easy to clear out function analyses when the functions
themselves may have been deleted -- we clear an entire module's worth!
But that is too heavy of a hammer down here in the LoopAnalysisManager
layer.
A better long-term solution IMO is to require that AnalysisManager's
make their keys durable to this kind of thing. Specifically, when
caching an analysis for one IR unit that is conceptually "owned" by
a higher level IR unit, the AnalysisManager should incorporate this into
its data structures so that we can reliably clear these results without
having to teach each and every pass to do so manually as we do here. But
that is a change for another day as it will be a fairly invasive change
to the AnalysisManager infrastructure. Until then, this fortunately
seems to be quite rare.

Summary:
Peeling should not occur during the full unrolling invocation early
in the pipeline, but rather later with partial and runtime loop
unrolling. The later loop unrolling invocation will also eventually
utilize profile summary and branch frequency information, which
we would like to use to control peeling. And for ThinLTO we want
to delay peeling until the backend (post thin link) phase, just as
we do for most types of unrolling.
Ensure peeling doesn't occur during the full unrolling invocation
by adding a parameter to the shared implementation function, similar
to the way partial and runtime loop unrolling are disabled.
Performance results for ThinLTO suggest this has a neutral to positive
effect on some internal benchmarks.

unrolling is disabled.
This patch is a NFC which reorders peeling and partial unrolling application and prepares the code for

the latter to the Transforms library.
While the loop PM uses an analysis to form the IR units, the current
plan is to have the PM itself establish and enforce both loop simplified
form and LCSSA. This would be a layering violation in the analysis
library.
Fundamentally, the idea behind the loop PM is to *transform* loops in
addition to running passes over them, so it really seemed like the most
natural place to sink this was into the transforms library.
We can't just move *everything* because we also have loop analyses that
rely on a subset of the invariants. So this patch splits the the loop
infrastructure into the analysis management that has to be part of the
analysis library, and the transform-aware pass manager.
This also required splitting the loop analyses' printer passes out to
the transforms library, which makes sense to me as running these will
transform the code into LCSSA in theory.
I haven't split the unittest though because testing one component
without the other seems nearly intractable.

arguments much like the CGSCC pass manager.
This is a major redesign following the pattern establish for the CGSCC layer to
support updates to the set of loops during the traversal of the loop nest and
to support invalidation of analyses.
An additional significant burden in the loop PM is that so many passes require
access to a large number of function analyses. Manually ensuring these are
cached, available, and preserved has been a long-standing burden in LLVM even
with the help of the automatic scheduling in the old pass manager. And it made
the new pass manager extremely unweildy. With this design, we can package the
common analyses up while in a function pass and make them immediately available
to all the loop passes. While in some cases this is unnecessary, I think the
simplicity afforded is worth it.
This does not (yet) address loop simplified form or LCSSA form, but those are
the next things on my radar and I have a clear plan for them.
While the patch is very large, most of it is either mechanically updating loop
passes to the new API or the new testing for the loop PM. The code for it is
reasonably compact.
I have not yet updated all of the loop passes to correctly leverage the update
mechanisms demonstrated in the unittests. I'll do that in follow-up patches
along with improved FileCheck tests for those passes that ensure things work in
more realistic scenarios. In many cases, there isn't much we can do with these
until the loop simplified form and LCSSA form are in place.

Summary:
The current loop complete unroll algorithm checks if unrolling complete will reduce the runtime by a certain percentage. If yes, it will apply a fixed boosting factor to the threshold (by discounting cost). The problem for this approach is that the threshold abruptly. This patch makes the boosting factor a function of runtime reduction percentage, capped by a fixed threshold. In this way, the threshold changes continuously.
The patch also simplified the code by reducing one parameter in UP.

This implements PGO-driven loop peeling.
The basic idea is that when the average dynamic trip-count of a loop is known,
based on PGO, to be low, we can expect a performance win by peeling off the
first several iterations of that loop.
Unlike unrolling based on a known trip count, or a trip count multiple, this
doesn't save us the conditional check and branch on each iteration. However,
it does allow us to simplify the straight-line code we get (constant-folding,
etc.). This is important given that we know that we will usually only hit this
code, and not the actual loop.
This is currently disabled by default.
