Some SIMD implementations are not IEEE-754 compliant, for example ARM's NEON.
This patch teaches the loop vectorizer to only allow transformations of loops
that either contain no floating-point operations or have enough allowance
flags supporting lack of precision (ex. -ffast-math, Darwin).
For that, the target description now has a method which tells us if the
vectorizer is allowed to handle FP math without falling into unsafe
representations, plus a check on every FP instruction in the candidate loop
to check for the safety flags.
This commit makes LLVM behave like GCC with respect to ARM NEON support, but
it stops short of fixing the underlying problem: sub-normals. Neither GCC
nor LLVM have a flag for allowing sub-normal operations. Before this patch,
GCC only allows it using unsafe-math flags and LLVM allows it by default with
no way to turn it off (short of not using NEON at all).
As a first step, we push this change to make it safe and in sync with GCC.
The second step is to discuss a new sub-normal's flag on both communitues
and come up with a common solution. The third step is to improve the FastMath
flags in LLVM to encode sub-normals and use those flags to restrict NEON FP.
Fixes PR16275.

Summary:
This function was not taking into account that the
input type could be a vector, and wasn't properly
working for vector types.
This caused an assert when building spec2k6 perlbmk for armv8.

This change turns on by default interleaved access vectorization on ARM,

Summary:
Fix the cost of interleaved accesses for ARM/AArch64.
We were calling getTypeAllocSize and using it to check
the number of bits, when we should have called
getTypeAllocSizeInBits instead.
This would pottentially cause the vectorizer to
generate loads/stores and shuffles which cannot
be matched with an interleaved access instruction.
No performance changes are expected for now since
matching/generating interleaved accesses is still
disabled by default.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.
This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.
* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)
* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.
* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.
* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x
Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by
same crappy python code. I had to manually update a few test cases that
wouldn't fit the script's model (r228970,r229196,r229197,r229198). The
python script just massages stdin and writes the result to stdout, I
then wrapped that in a shell script to handle replacing files, then
using the usual find+xargs to migrate all the files.
update.py:
import fileinput
import sys
import re
ibrep = re.compile(r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr inbounds )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")
normrep = re.compile( r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")

python3 `dirname "$0"`/update.py < "$name" > "$name.tmp" && mv "$name.tmp" "$name"

The actual commands:
From llvm/src:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
From llvm/src/tools/clang:
find test/ -name *.mm -o -name *.m -o -name *.cpp -o -name *.c | xargs -I '{}' ../../apply.sh "{}"
From llvm/src/tools/polly:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
After that, check-all (with llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, lld,
compiler-rt, and polly all checked out).
The extra 'rm' in the apply.sh script is due to a few files in clang's test
suite using interesting unicode stuff that my python script was throwing
exceptions on. None of those files needed to be migrated, so it seemed
sufficient to ignore those cases.

- Instead of setting the suffixes in a bunch of places, just set one master
list in the top-level config. We now only modify the suffix list in a few
suites that have one particular unique suffix (.ml, .mc, .yaml, .td, .py).
- Aside from removing the need for a bunch of lit.local.cfg files, this enables
4 tests that were inadvertently being skipped (one in
Transforms/BranchFolding, a .s file each in DebugInfo/AArch64 and
CodeGen/PowerPC, and one in CodeGen/SI which is now failing and has been
XFAILED).
- This commit also fixes a bunch of config files to use config.root instead of
older copy-pasted code.

We don't have a detailed analysis on which values are vectorized and which stay scalars in the vectorized loop so we use
another method. We look at reduction variables, loads and stores, which are the only ways to get information in and out
of loop iterations. If the data types are extended and truncated then the cost model will catch the cost of the vector
zext/sext/trunc operations.
