// Split critical edges where the source of the edge is an indirectbr
// instruction. This isn't always possible, but we can handle some easy cases.
// This is useful because MI is unable to split such critical edges,
// which means it will not be able to sink instructions along those edges.
// This is especially painful for indirect branches with many successors, where
// we end up having to prepare all outgoing values in the origin block.
//
// Our normal algorithm for splitting critical edges requires us to update
// the outgoing edges of the edge origin block, but for an indirectbr this
// is hard, since it would require finding and updating the block addresses
// the indirect branch uses. But if a block only has a single indirectbr
// predecessor, with the others being regular branches, we can do it in a
// different way.
// Say we have A -> D, B -> D, I -> D where only I -> D is an indirectbr.
// We can split D into D0 and D1, where D0 contains only the PHIs from D,
// and D1 is the D block body. We can then duplicate D0 as D0A and D0B, and
// create the following structure:
// A -> D0A, B -> D0A, I -> D0B, D0A -> D1, D0B -> D1
// If BPI and BFI aren't non-null, BPI/BFI will be updated accordingly.

/// Given a set of incoming and outgoing blocks, create a "hub" such that every
/// edge from an incoming block InBB to an outgoing block OutBB is now split
/// into two edges, one from InBB to the hub and another from the hub to
/// OutBB. The hub consists of a series of guard blocks, one for each outgoing
/// block. Each guard block conditionally branches to the corresponding outgoing
/// block, or the next guard block in the chain. These guard blocks are returned
/// in the argument vector.
///
/// Since the control flow edges from InBB to OutBB have now been replaced, the
/// function also updates any PHINodes in OutBB. For each such PHINode, the
/// operands corresponding to incoming blocks are moved to a new PHINode in the
/// hub, and the hub is made an operand of the original PHINode.

///
/// Limitations:
/// -----------
/// 1. This assumes that all terminators in the CFG are direct branches (the
///    "br" instruction). The presence of any other control flow such as
///    indirectbr, switch or callbr will cause an assert.
///
/// 2. The updates to the PHINodes are not sufficient to restore SSA
///    form. Consider a definition Def, its use Use, incoming block In2 and
///    outgoing block Out2, such that:
///    a. In2 is reachable from D or contains D.
///    b. U is reachable from Out2 or is contained in Out2.
///    c. U is not a PHINode if U is contained in Out2.
///
///    Clearly, Def dominates Out2 since the program is valid SSA. But when the
///    hub is introduced, there is a new path through the hub along which Use is
///    reachable from entry without passing through Def, and SSA is no longer
///    valid. To fix this, we need to look at all the blocks post-dominated by
///    the hub on the one hand, and dominated by Out2 on the other. This is left
///    for the caller to accomplish, since each specific use of this function
///    may have additional information which simplifies this fixup. For example,
///    see restoreSSA() in the UnifyLoopExits pass.
