[LAA] Be more careful when evaluating AddRecs at symbolic max BTC. (#128061)

Evaluating AR at the symbolic max BTC may wrap and create an expression
that is less than the start of the AddRec due to wrapping (for example
consider MaxBTC = -2).

If that's the case, set ScEnd to -(EltSize + 1). ScEnd will get
incremented by EltSize before returning, so this effectively sets ScEnd
to unsigned max. Note that LAA separately checks that accesses cannot
not wrap (52ded672492,
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/127543), so unsigned max
represents an upper bound.

When there is a computable backedge-taken count, we are guaranteed to
execute the number of iterations, and if any pointer would wrap it would
be UB (or the access will never be executed, so cannot alias). It
includes new tests from the previous discussion that show a case we wrap
with a BTC, but it is UB due to the pointer after the object wrapping
(in `evaluate-at-backedge-taken-count-wrapping.ll`)

When we have only a maximum backedge taken count, we instead try to use
dereferenceability information to determine if the pointer access must be in
bounds for the maximum backedge taken count.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
