As discussed in post-commit review in https://reviews.llvm.org/D73501
if the goal of this is to help vectorizer, then we should actually
be teaching vectorizer to do this, because right now this rewrite
is still budget-limited, which isn't what we'd want.
Additionally, while the rest of the patch series was universally profitable,
this particular patch is reportedly (https://reviews.llvm.org/D73501#1905171)
exposing cost-modeling issues on ARM.
So let's just back this particular patch out. Once there's an undo transform,
this could be considered for reintegration.
This reverts commit 44edc6fd2c.
Summary:
Replacing uses of IV outside of the loop is likely generally useful,
but `rewriteLoopExitValues()` is cautious, and if it isn't told to always
perform the replacement, and there are hard uses of IV in loop,
it doesn't replace.
In [[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44668 | PR44668 ]],
that prevents `-indvars` from replacing uses of induction variable
after the loop, which might be one of the optimization failures
preventing that code from being vectorized.
Instead, now that the cost model is fixed, i believe we should be
a little bit more optimistic, and also perform replacement
if we believe it is within our budget.
Fixes [[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44668 | PR44668 ]].

I'm about to enable the new loop predication transform by default. It has the effect of completely destroying many read only loops - which happen to be a super common idiom in our test cases. So as to preserve test coverage of other transforms, disable the new transform where it would cause sharp test coverage regressions.
(This is semantically part of the enabling commit. It's committed separate to ease revert if the actual flag flip gets reverted.)
This patch really contains two pieces:
Teach SCEV how to fold a phi in the header of a loop to the value on the backedge when a) the backedge is known to execute at least once, and b) the value is safe to use globally within the scope dominated by the original phi.
Teach IndVarSimplify's rewriteLoopExitValues to allow loop invariant expressions which already exist (and thus don't need new computation inserted) even in loops where we can't optimize away other uses.

The issue addressed in r363180 is more broadly relevant. For the moment, we don't actually get any of these cases because we a) restrict SCEV formation due to SCEExpander needing to preserve LCSSA, and b) don't iterate between loops.
llvm-svn: 363192
SCEV does not propagate arguments through one-input Phis so as to make it easy for the SCEV expander (and related code) to preserve LCSSA. It's not entirely clear this restriction is neccessary, but for the moment it exists. For this reason, we don't analyze single-entry phi inputs. However it is possible that when an this input leaves the loop through LCSSA Phi, it is a provable constant. Missing that results in an order of optimization issue in loop exit value rewriting where we miss some oppurtunities based on order in which we visit sibling loops.
This patch teaches computeSCEVAtScope about this case. We can generalize it later, but so far we can only replace LCSSA Phis with their constant loop-exiting values. We should probably also add similiar logic directly in the SCEV construction path itself.
