Add a if-conversion optimization that allows 'true' side of a diamond to be
unpredicated. That is, turn
subeq r0, r1, #1
addne r0, r1, #1
into
sub r0, r1, #1
addne r0, r1, #1
For targets where conditional instructions are always executed, this may be
beneficial. It may remove pseudo anti-dependency in out-of-order execution
CPUs. e.g.
op r1, ...
str r1, [r10] ; end-of-life of r1 as div result
cmp r0, #65
movne r1, #44 ; raw dependency on previous r1
moveq r1, #12
If movne is unpredicated, then
op r1, ...
str r1, [r10]
cmp r0, #65
mov r1, #44 ; r1 written unconditionally
moveq r1, #12
Both mov and moveq are no longer depdendent on the first instruction. This gives
the out-of-order execution engine more freedom to reorder them.
This has passed entire LLVM test suite. But it has not been enabled for any ARM
variant pending more performance evaluation.
