An irreducible SCC is one which has multiple "header" blocks, i.e., blocks
with control-flow edges incident from outside the SCC. This pass converts an
irreducible SCC into a natural loop by introducing a single new header
block and redirecting all the edges on the original headers to this
new block.
This is a useful workaround for a limitation in the structurizer
which, which produces incorrect control flow in the presence of
irreducible regions. The AMDGPU backend provides an option to
enable this pass before the structurizer, which may eventually be
enabled by default.

For each natural loop with multiple exit blocks, this pass creates a
new block N such that all exiting blocks now branch to N, and then
control flow is redistributed to all the original exit blocks.
The bulk of the tranformation is a new function introduced in
BasicBlockUtils that an redirect control flow from a set of incoming
blocks to a set of outgoing blocks via a common "hub".
This is a useful workaround for a limitation in the structurizer which
incorrectly orders blocks when processing a nest of loops. This pass
bypasses that issue by ensuring that each natural loop is recognized
as a separate region. Since the structurizer is a region pass, it no
longer sees a nest of loops in a single region, and instead processes
each "level" in the nesting as a separate region.
The AMDGPU backend provides a new option to enable this pass before
the structurizer, which may eventually be enabled by default.

Summary:
Most libraries are defined in the lib/ directory but there are also a
few libraries defined in tools/ e.g. libLLVM, libLTO. I'm defining
"Component Libraries" as libraries defined in lib/ that may be included in
libLLVM.so. Explicitly marking the libraries in lib/ as component
libraries allows us to remove some fragile checks that attempt to
differentiate between lib/ libraries and tools/ libraires:
1. In tools/llvm-shlib, because
llvm_map_components_to_libnames(LIB_NAMES "all") returned a list of
all libraries defined in the whole project, there was custom code
needed to filter out libraries defined in tools/, none of which should
be included in libLLVM.so. This code assumed that any library
defined as static was from lib/ and everything else should be
excluded.
With this change, llvm_map_components_to_libnames(LIB_NAMES, "all")
only returns libraries that have been added to the LLVM_COMPONENT_LIBS
global cmake property, so this custom filtering logic can be removed.
Doing this also fixes the build with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
and LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON.
2. There was some code in llvm_add_library that assumed that
libraries defined in lib/ would not have LLVM_LINK_COMPONENTS or
ARG_LINK_COMPONENTS set. This is only true because libraries
defined lib lib/ use LLVMBuild.txt and don't set these values.
This code has been fixed now to check if the library has been
explicitly marked as a component library, which should now make it
easier to remove LLVMBuild at some point in the future.
I have tested this patch on Windows, MacOS and Linux with release builds
and the following combinations of CMake options:
- "" (No options)
- -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON
- -DLLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON
- -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON

This reverts commit r371584. It introduced a dependency from compiler-rt
to llvm/include/ADT, which is problematic for multiple reasons.
One is that it is a novel dependency edge, which needs cross-compliation
machinery for llvm/include/ADT (yes, it is true that right now
compiler-rt included only header-only libraries, however, if we allow
compiler-rt to depend on anything from ADT, other libraries will
eventually get used).
Secondly, depending on ADT from compiler-rt exposes ADT symbols from
compiler-rt, which would cause ODR violations when Clang is built with
the profile library.

So we have unrolled the outer loop, then jammed the two inner loops into

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

The existing LoopRotation.cpp is implemented as one of loop passes instead of
being a utility. The user cannot easily perform the loop rotation selectively
(or on demand) under different optimization level. For example, the loop
rotation is needed as part of the logic to convert a loop into a loop with
bottom test for a transformation. If the loop rotation is simply added as a
loop pass before the transformation, the pass is skipped if it is compiled at
–O0 or if it is explicitly disabled by the user, causing the compiler to
generate incorrect code. Furthermore, as a loop pass it will rotate all loops
instead of just the relevant loops.
We provide a utility interface for the loop rotation so that the loop rotation
can be called on demand. The changeset is as follows:
- Create a new file lib/Transforms/Utils/LoopRotationUtils.cpp and move the main
implementation of class LoopRotate into this file.
- Create a new file llvm/include/Transform/Utils/LoopRotationUtils.h with the
interface LoopRotation(...).
- Original LoopRotation.cpp is changed to use the utility function LoopRotation
in LoopRotationUtils.cpp. This is done in the same way community did for

intended to be a non-functional change, letting non-pgo-driven passes share a
common implementation with the existing pgo-driven pass.
The common utilities are used to conditionally promote indirect call sites to
direct call sites. They perform the underlying transformation, and do not
consider profile information. The pgo-specific details (e.g., the computation
of branch weight metadata) have been left in the indirect call promotion pass.

Clang implements the -finstrument-functions flag inherited from GCC, which
inserts calls to __cyg_profile_func_{enter,exit} on function entry and exit.
This is useful for getting a trace of how the functions in a program are
executed. Normally, the calls remain even if a function is inlined into another
function, but it is useful to be able to turn this off for users who are
interested in a lower-level trace, i.e. one that reflects what functions are
called post-inlining. (We use this to generate link order files for Chromium.)
LLVM already has a pass for inserting similar instrumentation calls to
mcount(), which it does after inlining. This patch renames and extends that
pass to handle calls both to mcount and the cygprofile functions, before and/or
after inlining as controlled by function attributes.
