Revert "[SCEV] Remove premature assert. PR46786"
Since then, the SCEV pointer handling as been improved,
so the assertion should now hold.

This reverts commit b96114c1e1,

Nikita Popov 33146857e9 [IR] Consider non-willreturn as side effect (PR50511)
This adjusts mayHaveSideEffect() to return true for !willReturn()
instructions. Just like other side-effects, non-willreturn calls
(aka "divergence") cannot be removed and cannot be reordered relative
to other side effects. This fixes a number of bugs where
non-willreturn calls are either incorrectly dropped or moved. In
particular, it also fixes the last open problem in
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50511.

I performed a cursory review of all current mayHaveSideEffect()
uses, which convinced me that these are indeed the desired default
semantics. Places that do not want to consider non-willreturn as a
sideeffect generally do not want mayHaveSideEffect() semantics at
all. I identified two such cases, which are addressed by D106591
and D106742. Finally, there is a use in SCEV for which we don't
really have an appropriate API right now -- what it wants is
basically "would this be considered forward progress". I've just
spelled out the previous semantics there.

Philip Reames 4a3dc7dc9a [SCEV] Fix bug involving zero step and non-invariant RHS in trip count logic
Eli pointed out the issue when reviewing D104140. The max trip count logic makes an assumption that the value of IV changes. When the step is zero, the nowrap fact becomes trivial, and thus there's nothing preventing the loop from being nearly infinite. (The "nearly" part is because mustprogress may disallow an infinite loop while still allowing 999999999 iterations before RHS happens to allow an exit.)

This is very difficult to see in practice. You need a means to produce a loop varying RHS in a mustprogress loop which doesn't allow the loop to be infinite. In most cases, LICM or SCEV are smart enough to remove the loop varying expressions.

Philip Reames a99d420a93 [SCEV] Fix unsound reasoning in howManyLessThans
This is split from D105216, it handles only a subset of the cases in that patch.

Specifically, the issue being fixed is that the code incorrectly assumed that (Start-Stide) < End implied that the backedge was taken at least once. This is not true when e.g. Start = 4, Stride = 2, and End = 3. Note that we often do produce the right backedge taken count despite the flawed reasoning.

The fix chosen here is to use an alternate form of uceil (ceiling of unsigned divide) lowering which is safe when max(RHS,Start) > Start - Stride.  (Note that signedness of both max expression and comparison depend on the signedness of the comparison being analyzed, and that overflow in the Start - Stride expression is allowed.)  Note that this is weaker than proving the backedge is taken because it allows start - stride < end < start.  Some cases which can't be proven safe are sent down the generic path, and we do end up generating less optimal expressions in a few cases.

Credit for coming up with the approach goes entirely to Eli.  I just split it off, tweaked the comments a bit, and did some additional testing.

Eli Friedman 9c4baf5101 [ScalarEvolution] Strictly enforce pointer/int type rules.
Rules:

1. SCEVUnknown is a pointer if and only if the LLVM IR value is a
   pointer.
2. SCEVPtrToInt is never a pointer.
3. If any other SCEV expression has no pointer operands, the result is
   an integer.
4. If a SCEVAddExpr has exactly one pointer operand, the result is a
   pointer.
5. If a SCEVAddRecExpr's first operand is a pointer, and it has no other
   pointer operands, the result is a pointer.
6. If every operand of a SCEVMinMaxExpr is a pointer, the result is a
   pointer.
7. Otherwise, the SCEV expression is invalid.

I'm not sure how useful rule 6 is in practice.  If we exclude it, we can
guarantee that ScalarEvolution::getPointerBase always returns a
SCEVUnknown, which might be a helpful property. Anyway, I'll leave that
for a followup.

This is basically mop-up at this point; all the changes with significant
functional effects have landed.  Some of the remaining changes could be
split off, but I don't see much point.

There are two issues with the current implementation of computeBECount:

1. It doesn't account for the possibility that adding "Stride - 1" to
Delta might overflow. For almost all loops, it doesn't, but it's not

2. It doesn't account for the possibility that Stride is zero. If Delta
is zero, the backedge is never taken; the value of Stride isn't
relevant. To handle this, we have to make sure that the expression
returned by computeBECount evaluates to zero.

To deal with this, add two new checks:

1. Use a variety of tricks to try to prove that the addition doesn't
overflow.  If the proof is impossible, use an alternate sequence which
never overflows.
2. Use umax(Stride, 1) to handle the possibility that Stride is zero.

Eli Friedman 7ac1c7bead Recommit [ScalarEvolution] Make getMinusSCEV() fail for unrelated pointers.
As part of making ScalarEvolution's handling of pointers consistent, we
want to forbid multiplying a pointer by -1 (or any other value). This
means we can't blindly subtract pointers.

There are a few ways we could deal with this:
1. We could completely forbid subtracting pointers in getMinusSCEV()
2. We could forbid subracting pointers with different pointer bases
(this patch).
3. We could try to ptrtoint pointer operands.

The option in this patch is more friendly to non-integral pointers: code
that works with normal pointers will also work with non-integral
pointers. And it seems like there are very few places that actually
benefit from the third option.

As a minimal patch, the ScalarEvolution implementation of getMinusSCEV
still ends up subtracting pointers if they have the same base.  This
should eliminate the shared pointer base, but eventually we'll need to
rewrite it to avoid negating the pointer base. I plan to do this as a
separate step to allow measuring the compile-time impact.

This doesn't cause obvious functional changes in most cases; the one
case that is significantly affected is ICmpZero handling in LSR (which
is the source of almost all the test changes).  The resulting changes
seem okay to me, but suggestions welcome.  As an alternative, I tried
explicitly ptrtoint'ing the operands, but the result doesn't seem
obviously better.

I deleted the test lsr-undef-in-binop.ll becuase I couldn't figure out
how to repair it to test what it was actually trying to test.

[SCEV] Support single-cond range check idiom in applyLoopGuards.
This patch extends applyLoopGuards to detect a single-cond range check
idiom that InstCombine generates.

It extends applyLoopGuards to detect conditions of the form
(-C1 + X < C2). InstCombine will create this form when combining two
checks of the form (X u< C2 + C1) and (X >=u C1).

In practice, this enables us to correctly compute a tight trip count
bounds for code as in the function below. InstCombine will fold the
minimum iteration check created by LoopRotate with the user check (< 8).

    void unsigned_check(short *pred, unsigned width) {
        if (width < 8) {
            for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
                pred[x] = pred[x] * pred[x];
        }
    }

As a consequence, LLVM creates dead vector loops for the code above,

Eli Friedman 8f3d16905d [ScalarEvolution] Ensure backedge-taken counts are not pointers.
A backedge-taken count doesn't refer to memory; returning a pointer type
is nonsense. So make sure we always return an integer.

The obvious way to do this would be to just convert the operands of the
icmp to integers, but that doesn't quite work out at the moment:
isLoopEntryGuardedByCond currently gets confused by ptrtoint operations.
So we perform the ptrtoint conversion late for lt/gt operations.

The test changes are mostly innocuous. The most interesting changes are
more complex SCEV expressions of the form "(-1 * (ptrtoint i8* %ptr to
i64)) + %ptr)". This is expected: we can't fold this to zero because we
need to preserve the pointer base.

The call to isLoopEntryGuardedByCond in howFarToZero is less precise
because of ptrtoint operations; this shows up in the function
pr46786_c26_char in ptrtoint.ll. Fixing it here would require more
complex refactoring.  It should eventually be fixed by future
improvements to isImpliedCond.

Philip Reames 38540d71c7 [SCEV] Compute exit counts for unsigned IVs using mustprogress semantics
The motivation here is simple loops with unsigned induction variables w/non-one steps. A toy example would be:
for (unsigned i = 0; i < N; i += 2) { body; }

Given C/C++ semantics, we do not get the nuw flag on the induction variable. Given that lack, we currently can't compute a bound for this loop. We can do better for many cases, depending on the contents of "body".

The basic intuition behind this patch is as follows:
* A step which evenly divides the iteration space must wrap through the same numbers repeatedly. And thus, we can ignore potential cornercases where we exit after the n-th wrap through uint32_max.
* Per C++ rules, infinite loops without side effects are UB. We already have code in SCEV which relies on this.  In LLVM, this is tied to the mustprogress attribute.

Together, these let us conclude that the trip count of this loop must come before unsigned overflow unless the body would form a well defined infinite loop.

A couple notes for those reading along:
* I reused the loop properties code which is overly conservative for this case. I may follow up in another patch to generalize it for the actual UB rules.
* We could cache the n(s/u)w facts. I left that out because doing a pre-patch which cached existing inference showed a lot of diffs I had trouble fully explaining. I plan to get back to this, but I don't want it on the critical path.

[NFC] ScalarEvolution: apply SSO to the ExprValueMap value
ExprValueMap is a map from SCEV * to a set-vector of (Value *, ConstantInt *) pair,
and while the map itself will likely be big-ish (have many keys),
it is a reasonable assumption that each key will refer to a small-ish
number of pairs.

In particular looking at n=512 case from
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50384,
the small-size of 4 appears to be the sweet spot,
it results in the least allocations while minimizing memory footprint.

While that test may be an edge worst-case scenario,
https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/compare.php?from=dee85d47d9f15fc268f7b18f279dac2774836615&to=98a57e31b1947d5bcdf4a5605ac2ab32b4bd5f63&stat=instructions
agrees that this also results in improvements in the usual situations.
