// This file implements divergence analysis which determines whether a branch
// in a GPU program is 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 converge at the immediately post-dominating BB of the paths.
//
// Due to this execution model, some optimizations such as jump
// threading and loop unswitching can be unfortunately harmful when performed on
// divergent branches. Therefore, an analysis that computes which branches in a
// GPU program are divergent can help the compiler to selectively run these
// optimizations.
//
// This file defines divergence analysis which computes a conservative but
// non-trivial approximation of all divergent branches in a GPU program. It
// partially implements the approach described in
//
// Divergence Analysis
// Sampaio, Souza, Collange, Pereira
// TOPLAS '13
//
// The divergence analysis identifies the sources of divergence (e.g., special
// variables that hold the thread ID), and recursively marks variables that are
// data or sync dependent on a source of divergence as divergent.
//
// 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 current 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.
