[SimpleLoopUnswitch] Fix introduction of UB when hoisted condition may be undef or poison
Summary:
Loop unswitch hoists branches on loop-invariant conditions. However, if this
condition is poison/undef and the branch wasn't originally reachable, loop
unswitch introduces UB (since the optimized code will branch on poison/undef and
the original one didn't)).
We fix this problem by freezing the condition to ensure we don't introduce UB.
We will now transform the following:
while (...) {
if (C) { A }
else { B }
}
Into:
C' = freeze(C)
if (C') {
while (...) { A }
} else {
while (...) { B }
}
This patch fixes the root cause of the following bug reports (which use the old loop unswitch, but can be reproduced with minor changes in the code and -enable-nontrivial-unswitch):
