We now no longer need alias analysis - the cases that alias analysis would
handle are now handled as accesses with a large dependence distance.
We can now vectorize loops with simple constant dependence distances.
for (i = 8; i < 256; ++i) {
a[i] = a[i+4] * a[i+8];
}
for (i = 8; i < 256; ++i) {
a[i] = a[i-4] * a[i-8];
}
We would be able to vectorize about 200 more loops (in many cases the cost model
instructs us no to) in the test suite now. Results on x86-64 are a wash.
I have seen one degradation in ammp. Interestingly, the function in which we
now vectorize a loop is never executed so we probably see some instruction
cache effects. There is a 2% improvement in h264ref. There is one or the other
TSCV loop kernel that speeds up.

This class checks dependences by subtracting two Scalar Evolution access
functions allowing us to catch very simple linear dependences.
The checker assumes source order in determining whether vectorization is safe.
We currently don't reorder accesses.
Positive true dependencies need to be a multiple of VF otherwise we impede
store-load forwarding.

Sets of dependent accesses are built by unioning sets based on underlying
objects. This class will be used by the upcoming dependence checker.

Use ScalarEvolution's getBackedgeTakenCount API instead of getExitCount since
that is really what we want to know. Using the more specific getExitCount was
safe because we made sure that there is only one exiting block.
No functionality change.

We check that instructions in the loop don't have outside users (except if
they are reduction values). Unfortunately, we skipped this check for
if-convertable PHIs.
Fixes PR16184.

- llvm.loop.parallel metadata has been renamed to llvm.loop to be more generic
by making the root of additional loop metadata.
- Loop::isAnnotatedParallel now looks for llvm.loop and associated
llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access
- document llvm.loop and update llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access
- add support for llvm.vectorizer.width and llvm.vectorizer.unroll
- document llvm.vectorizer.* metadata
- add utility class LoopVectorizerHints for getting/setting loop metadata
- use llvm.vectorizer.width=1 to indicate already vectorized instead of
already_vectorized
- update existing tests that used llvm.loop.parallel and
llvm.vectorizer.already_vectorized

The Value pointers we store in the induction variable list can be RAUW'ed by a
call to SCEVExpander::expandCodeFor, use a TrackingVH instead. Do the same thing
in some other places where we store pointers that could potentially be RAUW'ed.
Fixes PR16073.

We only want to check this once, not for every conditional block in the loop.
No functionality change (except that we don't perform a check redudantly
anymore).

InstCombine can be uncooperative to vectorization and sink loads into
conditional blocks. This prevents vectorization.
Undo this optimization if there are unconditional memory accesses to the same
addresses in the loop.

We used to give up if we saw two integer inductions. After this patch, we base
further induction variables on the chosen one like we do in the reverse
induction and pointer induction case.
Fixes PR15720.

Use the widest induction type encountered for the cannonical induction variable.
We used to turn the following loop into an empty loop because we used i8 as
induction variable type and truncated 1024 to 0 as trip count.
int a[1024];
void fail() {
int reverse_induction = 1023;
unsigned char forward_induction = 0;
while ((reverse_induction) >= 0) {
forward_induction++;
a[reverse_induction] = forward_induction;
--reverse_induction;
}
}

A computable loop exit count does not imply the presence of an induction
variable. Scalar evolution can return a value for an infinite loop.
Fixes PR15926.

The two nested loops were confusing and also conservative in identifying
reduction variables. This patch replaces them by a worklist based approach.
llvm-svn: 181369
We were passing an i32 to ConstantInt::get where an i64 was needed and we must
also pass the sign if we pass negatives numbers. The start index passed to
getConsecutiveVector must also be signed.
Should fix PR15882.
