// This pass performs the following optimizations:

// - removes unnecessary ptrue intrinsics (llvm.aarch64.sve.ptrue), e.g:
//     %1 = @llvm.aarch64.sve.ptrue.nxv4i1(i32 31)
//     %2 = @llvm.aarch64.sve.ptrue.nxv8i1(i32 31)
//     ; (%1 can be replaced with a reinterpret of %2)

// - optimizes ptest intrinsics where the operands are being needlessly
//   converted to and from svbool_t.

/// The goal of this function is to remove redundant calls to the SVE ptrue
/// intrinsic in each basic block within the given functions.
///
/// SVE ptrues have two representations in LLVM IR:
/// - a logical representation -- an arbitrary-width scalable vector of i1s,
///   i.e. <vscale x N x i1>.
/// - a physical representation (svbool, <vscale x 16 x i1>) -- a 16-element
///   scalable vector of i1s, i.e. <vscale x 16 x i1>.
///
/// The SVE ptrue intrinsic is used to create a logical representation of an SVE
/// predicate. Suppose that we have two SVE ptrue intrinsic calls: P1 and P2. If
/// P1 creates a logical SVE predicate that is at least as wide as the logical
/// SVE predicate created by P2, then all of the bits that are true in the
/// physical representation of P2 are necessarily also true in the physical
/// representation of P1. P1 'encompasses' P2, therefore, the intrinsic call to
/// P2 is redundant and can be replaced by an SVE reinterpret of P1 via
/// convert.{to,from}.svbool.
///
/// Currently, this pass only coalesces calls to SVE ptrue intrinsics
/// if they match the following conditions:
///
/// - the call to the intrinsic uses either the SV_ALL or SV_POW2 patterns.
///   SV_ALL indicates that all bits of the predicate vector are to be set to
///   true. SV_POW2 indicates that all bits of the predicate vector up to the
///   largest power-of-two are to be set to true.
/// - the result of the call to the intrinsic is not promoted to a wider
///   predicate. In this case, keeping the extra ptrue leads to better codegen
///   -- coalescing here would create an irreducible chain of SVE reinterprets
///   via convert.{to,from}.svbool.
///
/// EXAMPLE:
///
///     %1 = <vscale x 8 x i1> ptrue(i32 SV_ALL)
///     ; Logical:  <1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1>
///     ; Physical: <1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0>
///     ...
///
///     %2 = <vscale x 4 x i1> ptrue(i32 SV_ALL)
///     ; Logical:  <1, 1, 1, 1>
///     ; Physical: <1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0>
///     ...
///
/// Here, %2 can be replaced by an SVE reinterpret of %1, giving, for instance:
///
///     %1 = <vscale x 8 x i1> ptrue(i32 i31)
///     %2 = <vscale x 16 x i1> convert.to.svbool(<vscale x 8 x i1> %1)
///     %3 = <vscale x 4 x i1> convert.from.svbool(<vscale x 16 x i1> %2)
