Chandler Carruth 410eaeb064 [PM] Rewrite the loop pass manager to use a worklist and augmented run ... 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.
