Sameer Sahasrabuddhe 0fe61ecc2c CycleInfo: Introduce cycles as a generalization of loops
LLVM loops cannot represent irreducible structures in the CFG. This
change introduce the concept of cycles as a generalization of loops,
along with a CycleInfo analysis that discovers a nested
hierarchy of such cycles. This is based on Havlak (1997), Nesting of
Reducible and Irreducible Loops.

The cycle analysis is implemented as a generic template and then
instatiated for LLVM IR and Machine IR. The template relies on a new
GenericSSAContext template which must be specialized when used for
each IR.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
================================

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM,
a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers,
optimizers, and runtime environments.

LLVM is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of
the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.

Please see the documentation provided in docs/ for further
assistance with LLVM, and in particular docs/GettingStarted.rst for getting
started with LLVM and docs/README.txt for an overview of LLVM's
documentation setup.

If you are writing a package for LLVM, see docs/Packaging.rst for our
suggestions.
