// This file implements a general divergence analysis for loop vectorization
// and GPU programs. It determines which branches and values in a loop or GPU
// program are divergent. It can help branch optimizations such as jump
// threading and loop unswitching to make better decisions.
//
// GPU programs typically use the SIMD execution model, where multiple threads
// in the same execution group have to execute in lock-step. Therefore, if the
// code contains divergent branches (i.e., threads in a group do not agree on
// which path of the branch to take), the group of threads has to execute all
// the paths from that branch with different subsets of threads enabled until
// they re-converge.
//
// Due to this execution model, some optimizations such as jump
// threading and loop unswitching can interfere with thread re-convergence.
// Therefore, an analysis that computes which branches in a GPU program are
// divergent can help the compiler to selectively run these optimizations.
//
// This implementation is derived from the Vectorization Analysis of the
// Region Vectorizer (RV). That implementation in turn is based on the approach
// described in
//
//   Improving Performance of OpenCL on CPUs
//   Ralf Karrenberg and Sebastian Hack
//   CC '12
//
// This DivergenceAnalysis implementation is generic in the sense that it does
// not itself identify original sources of divergence.
// Instead specialized adapter classes, (LoopDivergenceAnalysis) for loops and
// (GPUDivergenceAnalysis) for GPU programs, identify the sources of divergence
// (e.g., special variables that hold the thread ID or the iteration variable).
//
// The generic implementation propagates divergence to variables that are data
// or sync dependent on a source of divergence.
//
// While data dependency is a well-known concept, the notion of sync dependency
// is worth more explanation. Sync dependence characterizes the control flow
// aspect of the propagation of branch divergence. For example,
//
//   %cond = icmp slt i32 %tid, 10
//   br i1 %cond, label %then, label %else
// then:
//   br label %merge
// else:
//   br label %merge
// merge:
//   %a = phi i32 [ 0, %then ], [ 1, %else ]
//
// Suppose %tid holds the thread ID. Although %a is not data dependent on %tid
// because %tid is not on its use-def chains, %a is sync dependent on %tid
// because the branch "br i1 %cond" depends on %tid and affects which value %a
// is assigned to.
//
// The sync dependence detection (which branch induces divergence in which join
// points) is implemented in the SyncDependenceAnalysis.
//
// The current DivergenceAnalysis implementation has the following limitations:
// 1. intra-procedural. It conservatively considers the arguments of a
//    non-kernel-entry function and the return value of a function call as
//    divergent.
// 2. memory as black box. It conservatively considers values loaded from
//    generic or local address as divergent. This can be improved by leveraging
//    pointer analysis and/or by modelling non-escaping memory objects in SSA
//    as done in RV.
