-												[dev.ssa] cmd/compile/internal/ssa: remove proven redundant controls.

* It does very simple bounds checking elimination. E.g.
removes the second check in for i := range a { a[i]++; a[i++]; }
* Improves on the following redundant expression:
return a6 || (a6 || (a6 || a4)) || (a6 || (a4 || a6 || (false || a6)))
* Linear in the number of block edges.

I patched in CL 12960 that does bounds, nil and constant propagation
to make sure this CL is not just redundant. Size of pkg/tool/linux_amd64/*
(excluding compile which is affected by this change):

With IsInBounds and IsSliceInBounds

+this -12960 91947416
-this +12960 91978976
+this +12960 91923088

Gain is ~110% of 12960.

Shaves 22k on its own.

* Can we handle IsInBounds better with this? In

is not eliminated.

-												cmd/compile: Repurpose old sliceopt.go for prove phase.

Adapt old test for prove's bounds check elimination.
Added missing rule to generic rules that lead to differences
between 32 and 64 bit platforms on sliceopt test.
Added debugging to prove.go that was helpful-to-necessary to
discover that missing rule.
Lowered debugging level on prove.go from 3 to 1; no idea
why it was previously 3.

-												cmd/compile: extend prove pass to handle constant comparisons

Find comparisons to constants and propagate that information
down the dominator tree.  Use it to resolve other constant
comparisons on the same variable.

So if we know x >= 7, then a x > 4 condition must return true.

This change allows us to use "_ = b[7]" hints to eliminate bounds checks.

Fixes #14900

-												cmd/compile: make prove pass use unsatisfiability

Currently the prove pass uses implication queries. For each block, it
collects the set of branch conditions leading to that block, and
queries this fact table for whether any of these facts imply the
block's own branch condition (or its inverse). This works remarkably
well considering it doesn't do any deduction on these facts, but it
has various downsides:

1. It requires an implementation both of adding facts to the table and
   determining implications. These are very nearly duals of each
   other, but require separate implementations. Likewise, the process
   of asserting facts of dominating branch conditions is very nearly
   the dual of the process of querying implied branch conditions.

2. It leads to less effective use of derived facts. For example, the
   prove pass currently derives facts about the relations between len
   and cap, but can't make use of these unless a branch condition is
   in the exact form of a derived fact. If one of these derived facts
   contradicts another fact, it won't notice or make use of this.

This CL changes the approach of the prove pass to instead use
*contradiction* instead of implication. Rather than ever querying a
branch condition, it simply adds branch conditions to the fact table.
If this leads to a contradiction (specifically, it makes the fact set
unsatisfiable), that branch is impossible and can be cut. As a result,

1. We can eliminate the code for determining implications
   (factsTable.get disappears entirely). Also, there is now a single
   implementation of visiting and asserting branch conditions, since
   we don't have to flip them around to treat them as facts in one
   place and queries in another.

2. Derived facts can be used effectively. It doesn't matter *why* the
   fact table is unsatisfiable; a contradiction in any of the facts is
   enough.

3. As an added benefit, it's now quite easy to avoid traversing beyond
   provably-unreachable blocks. In contrast, the current
   implementation always visits all blocks.

The prove pass already has nearly all of the mechanism necessary to
compute unsatisfiability, which means this both simplifies the code
and makes it more powerful.

The only complication is that the current implication procedure has a
hack for dealing with the 0 <= Args[0] condition of OpIsInBounds and
OpIsSliceInBounds. We replace this with asserting the appropriate fact
when we process one of these conditions. This seems much cleaner
anyway, and works because we can now take advantage of derived facts.

This has no measurable effect on compiler performance.

Effectiveness:

There is exactly one condition in all of std and cmd that this fails
to prove that the old implementation could: (int64(^uint(0)>>1) < x)
in encoding/gob. This can never be true because x is an int, and it's
basically coincidence that the old code gets this. (For example, it
fails to prove the similar (x < ^int64(^uint(0)>>1)) condition that
immediately precedes it, and even though the conditions are logically
unrelated, it wouldn't get the second one if it hadn't first processed
the first!)

It does, however, prove a few dozen additional branches. These come
from facts that are added to the fact table about the relations
between len and cap. These were almost never queried directly before,
but could lead to contradictions, which the unsat-based approach is
able to use.

There are exactly two branches in std and cmd that this implementation
proves in the *other* direction. This sounds scary, but is okay
because both occur in already-unreachable blocks, so it doesn't matter
what we chose. Because the fact table logic is sound but incomplete,
it fails to prove that the block isn't reachable, even though it is
able to prove that both outgoing branches are impossible. We could
turn these blocks into BlockExit blocks, but it doesn't seem worth the
trouble of the extra proof effort for something that happens twice in
all of std and cmd.

Tests:

This CL updates test/prove.go to change the expected messages because
it can no longer give a "reason" why it proved or disproved a
condition. It also adds a new test of a branch it couldn't prove
before.

It mostly guts test/sliceopt.go, removing everything related to slice
bounds optimizations and moving a few relevant tests to test/prove.go.
Much of this test is actually unreachable. The new prove pass figures
this out and doesn't try to prove anything about the unreachable
parts. The output on the unreachable parts is already suspect because
anything can be proved at that point, so it's really just a regression
test for an algorithm the compiler no longer uses.

This is a step toward fixing #23354. That issue is quite easy to fix
once we can use derived facts effectively.

unrelated, it wouldn't get the second one if it hadn't first processed
the first!)

It does, however, prove a few dozen additional branches. These come
from facts that are added to the fact table about the relations
between len and cap. These were almost never queried directly before,
but could lead to contradictions, which the unsat-based approach is
able to use.

There are exactly two branches in std and cmd that this implementation
proves in the *other* direction. This sounds scary, but is okay
because both occur in already-unreachable blocks, so it doesn't matter
what we chose. Because the fact table logic is sound but incomplete,
it fails to prove that the block isn't reachable, even though it is
able to prove that both outgoing branches are impossible. We could
turn these blocks into BlockExit blocks, but it doesn't seem worth the
trouble of the extra proof effort for something that happens twice in
all of std and cmd.

Tests:

This CL updates test/prove.go to change the expected messages because
it can no longer give a "reason" why it proved or disproved a
condition. It also adds a new test of a branch it couldn't prove
before.

It mostly guts test/sliceopt.go, removing everything related to slice
bounds optimizations and moving a few relevant tests to test/prove.go.
Much of this test is actually unreachable. The new prove pass figures
this out and doesn't try to prove anything about the unreachable
parts. The output on the unreachable parts is already suspect because
anything can be proved at that point, so it's really just a regression
test for an algorithm the compiler no longer uses.

This is a step toward fixing #23354. That issue is quite easy to fix
once we can use derived facts effectively.

* It does very simple bounds checking elimination. E.g.
removes the second check in for i := range a { a[i]++; a[i++]; }
* Improves on the following redundant expression:
return a6 || (a6 || (a6 || a4)) || (a6 || (a4 || a6 || (false || a6)))
* Linear in the number of block edges.

I patched in CL 12960 that does bounds, nil and constant propagation
to make sure this CL is not just redundant. Size of pkg/tool/linux_amd64/*

-this +12960 91978976

Gain is ~110% of 12960.

-												cmd/compile: make prove pass use unsatisfiability

Currently the prove pass uses implication queries. For each block, it
collects the set of branch conditions leading to that block, and
queries this fact table for whether any of these facts imply the
block's own branch condition (or its inverse). This works remarkably
well considering it doesn't do any deduction on these facts, but it
has various downsides:

1. It requires an implementation both of adding facts to the table and
   determining implications. These are very nearly duals of each
   other, but require separate implementations. Likewise, the process
   of asserting facts of dominating branch conditions is very nearly
   the dual of the process of querying implied branch conditions.

2. It leads to less effective use of derived facts. For example, the
   prove pass currently derives facts about the relations between len
   and cap, but can't make use of these unless a branch condition is
   in the exact form of a derived fact. If one of these derived facts
   contradicts another fact, it won't notice or make use of this.

This CL changes the approach of the prove pass to instead use
*contradiction* instead of implication. Rather than ever querying a
branch condition, it simply adds branch conditions to the fact table.
If this leads to a contradiction (specifically, it makes the fact set
unsatisfiable), that branch is impossible and can be cut. As a result,

1. We can eliminate the code for determining implications
   (factsTable.get disappears entirely). Also, there is now a single
   implementation of visiting and asserting branch conditions, since
   we don't have to flip them around to treat them as facts in one
   place and queries in another.

2. Derived facts can be used effectively. It doesn't matter *why* the
   fact table is unsatisfiable; a contradiction in any of the facts is
   enough.

3. As an added benefit, it's now quite easy to avoid traversing beyond
   provably-unreachable blocks. In contrast, the current
   implementation always visits all blocks.

The prove pass already has nearly all of the mechanism necessary to
compute unsatisfiability, which means this both simplifies the code
and makes it more powerful.

The only complication is that the current implication procedure has a
hack for dealing with the 0 <= Args[0] condition of OpIsInBounds and
OpIsSliceInBounds. We replace this with asserting the appropriate fact
when we process one of these conditions. This seems much cleaner
anyway, and works because we can now take advantage of derived facts.

This has no measurable effect on compiler performance.

Effectiveness:

There is exactly one condition in all of std and cmd that this fails
to prove that the old implementation could: (int64(^uint(0)>>1) < x)
in encoding/gob. This can never be true because x is an int, and it's
basically coincidence that the old code gets this. (For example, it
fails to prove the similar (x < ^int64(^uint(0)>>1)) condition that
immediately precedes it, and even though the conditions are logically
unrelated, it wouldn't get the second one if it hadn't first processed
the first!)

-												cmd/compile: teach prove to handle expressions like len(s)-delta

When a loop has bound len(s)-delta, findIndVar detected it and
returned len(s) as (conservative) upper bound. This little lie
allowed loopbce to drop bound checks.

It is obviously more generic to teach prove about relations like
x+d<w for non-constant "w"; we already handled the case for
constant "w", so we just want to learn that if d<0, then x+d<w
proves that x<w.

To be able to remove the code from findIndVar, we also need
to teach prove that len() and cap() are always non-negative.

This CL allows to prove 633 more checks in cmd+std. Most
of them are cases where the code was already testing before
accessing a slice but the compiler didn't know it. For instance,
take strings.HasSuffix:

    func HasSuffix(s, suffix string) bool {
        return len(s) >= len(suffix) && s[len(s)-len(suffix):] == suffix
    }

When suffix is a literal string, the compiler now understands
that the explicit check is enough to not emit a slice check.

I also found a loopbce test that was incorrectly
written to detect an overflow but had a off-by-one (on the
conservative side), so it unexpectly passed with this CL; I
changed it to really trigger the overflow as intended.

There are 5293 loop in the main go repository.
A survey of the top most common for loops:

     18 for __k__ := 0; i < len(sa.Addr); i++ {
     19 for __k__ := 0; ; i++ {

    376 for __k__ := range __slice__ {
    685 for __k__, __v__ := range __slice__ {
   2074 for __, __v__ := range __slice__ {

The algorithm to find induction variables handles all cases
with an upper limit. It currently doesn't find related induction
variables such as c * ind or c + ind.

842 out of 22954 bound checks are removed for src/make.bash.
1957 out of 42952 bounds checks are removed for src/all.bash.

Things to do in follow-up CLs:
* Find the associated pointer for `for _, v := range a {}`
* Drop the NilChecks on the pointer.
* Replace the implicit induction variable by a loop over the pointer

Generated garbage can be reduced if we share the sdom between passes.

-												cmd/compile: make prove pass use unsatisfiability

Currently the prove pass uses implication queries. For each block, it
collects the set of branch conditions leading to that block, and
queries this fact table for whether any of these facts imply the
block's own branch condition (or its inverse). This works remarkably
well considering it doesn't do any deduction on these facts, but it
has various downsides:

1. It requires an implementation both of adding facts to the table and
   determining implications. These are very nearly duals of each
   other, but require separate implementations. Likewise, the process
   of asserting facts of dominating branch conditions is very nearly
   the dual of the process of querying implied branch conditions.

2. It leads to less effective use of derived facts. For example, the
   prove pass currently derives facts about the relations between len
   and cap, but can't make use of these unless a branch condition is
   in the exact form of a derived fact. If one of these derived facts
   contradicts another fact, it won't notice or make use of this.

This CL changes the approach of the prove pass to instead use
*contradiction* instead of implication. Rather than ever querying a
branch condition, it simply adds branch conditions to the fact table.
If this leads to a contradiction (specifically, it makes the fact set
unsatisfiable), that branch is impossible and can be cut. As a result,

1. We can eliminate the code for determining implications
   (factsTable.get disappears entirely). Also, there is now a single
   implementation of visiting and asserting branch conditions, since
   we don't have to flip them around to treat them as facts in one
   place and queries in another.

2. Derived facts can be used effectively. It doesn't matter *why* the
   fact table is unsatisfiable; a contradiction in any of the facts is
   enough.

3. As an added benefit, it's now quite easy to avoid traversing beyond
   provably-unreachable blocks. In contrast, the current
   implementation always visits all blocks.

The prove pass already has nearly all of the mechanism necessary to
compute unsatisfiability, which means this both simplifies the code
and makes it more powerful.

The only complication is that the current implication procedure has a
hack for dealing with the 0 <= Args[0] condition of OpIsInBounds and
OpIsSliceInBounds. We replace this with asserting the appropriate fact
when we process one of these conditions. This seems much cleaner
anyway, and works because we can now take advantage of derived facts.

This has no measurable effect on compiler performance.

Effectiveness:

There is exactly one condition in all of std and cmd that this fails
to prove that the old implementation could: (int64(^uint(0)>>1) < x)
in encoding/gob. This can never be true because x is an int, and it's
basically coincidence that the old code gets this. (For example, it
fails to prove the similar (x < ^int64(^uint(0)>>1)) condition that
immediately precedes it, and even though the conditions are logically
unrelated, it wouldn't get the second one if it hadn't first processed
the first!)

It does, however, prove a few dozen additional branches. These come
from facts that are added to the fact table about the relations
between len and cap. These were almost never queried directly before,
but could lead to contradictions, which the unsat-based approach is
able to use.

There are exactly two branches in std and cmd that this implementation
proves in the *other* direction. This sounds scary, but is okay
because both occur in already-unreachable blocks, so it doesn't matter
what we chose. Because the fact table logic is sound but incomplete,
it fails to prove that the block isn't reachable, even though it is
able to prove that both outgoing branches are impossible. We could
turn these blocks into BlockExit blocks, but it doesn't seem worth the
trouble of the extra proof effort for something that happens twice in
all of std and cmd.

Tests:

This CL updates test/prove.go to change the expected messages because
it can no longer give a "reason" why it proved or disproved a
condition. It also adds a new test of a branch it couldn't prove
before.

It mostly guts test/sliceopt.go, removing everything related to slice
bounds optimizations and moving a few relevant tests to test/prove.go.
Much of this test is actually unreachable. The new prove pass figures
this out and doesn't try to prove anything about the unreachable
parts. The output on the unreachable parts is already suspect because
anything can be proved at that point, so it's really just a regression
test for an algorithm the compiler no longer uses.

This is a step toward fixing #23354. That issue is quite easy to fix
once we can use derived facts effectively.

-												cmd/compile: make prove pass use unsatisfiability

Currently the prove pass uses implication queries. For each block, it
collects the set of branch conditions leading to that block, and
queries this fact table for whether any of these facts imply the
block's own branch condition (or its inverse). This works remarkably
well considering it doesn't do any deduction on these facts, but it
has various downsides:

1. It requires an implementation both of adding facts to the table and
   determining implications. These are very nearly duals of each
   other, but require separate implementations. Likewise, the process
   of asserting facts of dominating branch conditions is very nearly
   the dual of the process of querying implied branch conditions.

2. It leads to less effective use of derived facts. For example, the
   prove pass currently derives facts about the relations between len
   and cap, but can't make use of these unless a branch condition is
   in the exact form of a derived fact. If one of these derived facts
   contradicts another fact, it won't notice or make use of this.

This CL changes the approach of the prove pass to instead use
*contradiction* instead of implication. Rather than ever querying a
branch condition, it simply adds branch conditions to the fact table.
If this leads to a contradiction (specifically, it makes the fact set
unsatisfiable), that branch is impossible and can be cut. As a result,

1. We can eliminate the code for determining implications
   (factsTable.get disappears entirely). Also, there is now a single
   implementation of visiting and asserting branch conditions, since
   we don't have to flip them around to treat them as facts in one
   place and queries in another.

2. Derived facts can be used effectively. It doesn't matter *why* the
   fact table is unsatisfiable; a contradiction in any of the facts is
   enough.

3. As an added benefit, it's now quite easy to avoid traversing beyond
   provably-unreachable blocks. In contrast, the current
   implementation always visits all blocks.

The prove pass already has nearly all of the mechanism necessary to
compute unsatisfiability, which means this both simplifies the code
and makes it more powerful.

The only complication is that the current implication procedure has a
hack for dealing with the 0 <= Args[0] condition of OpIsInBounds and
OpIsSliceInBounds. We replace this with asserting the appropriate fact
when we process one of these conditions. This seems much cleaner
anyway, and works because we can now take advantage of derived facts.

This has no measurable effect on compiler performance.

Effectiveness:

There is exactly one condition in all of std and cmd that this fails
to prove that the old implementation could: (int64(^uint(0)>>1) < x)
in encoding/gob. This can never be true because x is an int, and it's
basically coincidence that the old code gets this. (For example, it
fails to prove the similar (x < ^int64(^uint(0)>>1)) condition that
immediately precedes it, and even though the conditions are logically
unrelated, it wouldn't get the second one if it hadn't first processed
the first!)

It does, however, prove a few dozen additional branches. These come
from facts that are added to the fact table about the relations
between len and cap. These were almost never queried directly before,
but could lead to contradictions, which the unsat-based approach is
able to use.

There are exactly two branches in std and cmd that this implementation
proves in the *other* direction. This sounds scary, but is okay
because both occur in already-unreachable blocks, so it doesn't matter
what we chose. Because the fact table logic is sound but incomplete,
it fails to prove that the block isn't reachable, even though it is
able to prove that both outgoing branches are impossible. We could
turn these blocks into BlockExit blocks, but it doesn't seem worth the
trouble of the extra proof effort for something that happens twice in
all of std and cmd.

Tests:

This CL updates test/prove.go to change the expected messages because
it can no longer give a "reason" why it proved or disproved a
condition. It also adds a new test of a branch it couldn't prove
before.

It mostly guts test/sliceopt.go, removing everything related to slice
bounds optimizations and moving a few relevant tests to test/prove.go.
Much of this test is actually unreachable. The new prove pass figures
this out and doesn't try to prove anything about the unreachable
parts. The output on the unreachable parts is already suspect because
anything can be proved at that point, so it's really just a regression
test for an algorithm the compiler no longer uses.

This is a step toward fixing #23354. That issue is quite easy to fix
once we can use derived facts effectively.

well considering it doesn't do any deduction on these facts, but it
has various downsides:

1. It requires an implementation both of adding facts to the table and
   determining implications. These are very nearly duals of each
   other, but require separate implementations. Likewise, the process
   of asserting facts of dominating branch conditions is very nearly
   the dual of the process of querying implied branch conditions.

2. It leads to less effective use of derived facts. For example, the
   prove pass currently derives facts about the relations between len
   and cap, but can't make use of these unless a branch condition is
   in the exact form of a derived fact. If one of these derived facts
   contradicts another fact, it won't notice or make use of this.

This CL changes the approach of the prove pass to instead use
*contradiction* instead of implication. Rather than ever querying a
branch condition, it simply adds branch conditions to the fact table.
If this leads to a contradiction (specifically, it makes the fact set
unsatisfiable), that branch is impossible and can be cut. As a result,

1. We can eliminate the code for determining implications
   (factsTable.get disappears entirely). Also, there is now a single
   implementation of visiting and asserting branch conditions, since
   we don't have to flip them around to treat them as facts in one
   place and queries in another.

2. Derived facts can be used effectively. It doesn't matter *why* the
   fact table is unsatisfiable; a contradiction in any of the facts is
   enough.

3. As an added benefit, it's now quite easy to avoid traversing beyond
   provably-unreachable blocks. In contrast, the current
   implementation always visits all blocks.

The prove pass already has nearly all of the mechanism necessary to
compute unsatisfiability, which means this both simplifies the code
and makes it more powerful.

The only complication is that the current implication procedure has a
hack for dealing with the 0 <= Args[0] condition of OpIsInBounds and
OpIsSliceInBounds. We replace this with asserting the appropriate fact
when we process one of these conditions. This seems much cleaner
anyway, and works because we can now take advantage of derived facts.

This has no measurable effect on compiler performance.

Effectiveness:

There is exactly one condition in all of std and cmd that this fails
to prove that the old implementation could: (int64(^uint(0)>>1) < x)
in encoding/gob. This can never be true because x is an int, and it's
basically coincidence that the old code gets this. (For example, it
fails to prove the similar (x < ^int64(^uint(0)>>1)) condition that
immediately precedes it, and even though the conditions are logically
unrelated, it wouldn't get the second one if it hadn't first processed
the first!)

It does, however, prove a few dozen additional branches. These come
from facts that are added to the fact table about the relations
between len and cap. These were almost never queried directly before,
but could lead to contradictions, which the unsat-based approach is
able to use.

There are exactly two branches in std and cmd that this implementation
proves in the *other* direction. This sounds scary, but is okay
because both occur in already-unreachable blocks, so it doesn't matter
what we chose. Because the fact table logic is sound but incomplete,
it fails to prove that the block isn't reachable, even though it is
able to prove that both outgoing branches are impossible. We could
turn these blocks into BlockExit blocks, but it doesn't seem worth the
trouble of the extra proof effort for something that happens twice in
all of std and cmd.

Tests:

This CL updates test/prove.go to change the expected messages because
it can no longer give a "reason" why it proved or disproved a
condition. It also adds a new test of a branch it couldn't prove
before.

It mostly guts test/sliceopt.go, removing everything related to slice
bounds optimizations and moving a few relevant tests to test/prove.go.
Much of this test is actually unreachable. The new prove pass figures
this out and doesn't try to prove anything about the unreachable
parts. The output on the unreachable parts is already suspect because
anything can be proved at that point, so it's really just a regression
test for an algorithm the compiler no longer uses.

This is a step toward fixing #23354. That issue is quite easy to fix
once we can use derived facts effectively.

-												cmd/compile: make prove pass use unsatisfiability

Currently the prove pass uses implication queries. For each block, it
collects the set of branch conditions leading to that block, and
queries this fact table for whether any of these facts imply the
block's own branch condition (or its inverse). This works remarkably
well considering it doesn't do any deduction on these facts, but it
has various downsides:

1. It requires an implementation both of adding facts to the table and
   determining implications. These are very nearly duals of each
   other, but require separate implementations. Likewise, the process
   of asserting facts of dominating branch conditions is very nearly
   the dual of the process of querying implied branch conditions.

2. It leads to less effective use of derived facts. For example, the
   prove pass currently derives facts about the relations between len
   and cap, but can't make use of these unless a branch condition is
   in the exact form of a derived fact. If one of these derived facts
   contradicts another fact, it won't notice or make use of this.

This CL changes the approach of the prove pass to instead use
*contradiction* instead of implication. Rather than ever querying a
branch condition, it simply adds branch conditions to the fact table.
If this leads to a contradiction (specifically, it makes the fact set
unsatisfiable), that branch is impossible and can be cut. As a result,

1. We can eliminate the code for determining implications
   (factsTable.get disappears entirely). Also, there is now a single
   implementation of visiting and asserting branch conditions, since
   we don't have to flip them around to treat them as facts in one
   place and queries in another.

2. Derived facts can be used effectively. It doesn't matter *why* the
   fact table is unsatisfiable; a contradiction in any of the facts is
   enough.

3. As an added benefit, it's now quite easy to avoid traversing beyond
   provably-unreachable blocks. In contrast, the current
   implementation always visits all blocks.

The prove pass already has nearly all of the mechanism necessary to
compute unsatisfiability, which means this both simplifies the code
and makes it more powerful.

The only complication is that the current implication procedure has a
hack for dealing with the 0 <= Args[0] condition of OpIsInBounds and
OpIsSliceInBounds. We replace this with asserting the appropriate fact
when we process one of these conditions. This seems much cleaner
anyway, and works because we can now take advantage of derived facts.

This has no measurable effect on compiler performance.

Effectiveness:

There is exactly one condition in all of std and cmd that this fails
to prove that the old implementation could: (int64(^uint(0)>>1) < x)
in encoding/gob. This can never be true because x is an int, and it's
basically coincidence that the old code gets this. (For example, it
fails to prove the similar (x < ^int64(^uint(0)>>1)) condition that
immediately precedes it, and even though the conditions are logically
unrelated, it wouldn't get the second one if it hadn't first processed
the first!)

It does, however, prove a few dozen additional branches. These come
from facts that are added to the fact table about the relations
between len and cap. These were almost never queried directly before,
but could lead to contradictions, which the unsat-based approach is
able to use.

There are exactly two branches in std and cmd that this implementation
proves in the *other* direction. This sounds scary, but is okay
because both occur in already-unreachable blocks, so it doesn't matter
what we chose. Because the fact table logic is sound but incomplete,
it fails to prove that the block isn't reachable, even though it is
able to prove that both outgoing branches are impossible. We could
turn these blocks into BlockExit blocks, but it doesn't seem worth the
trouble of the extra proof effort for something that happens twice in
all of std and cmd.

Tests:

This CL updates test/prove.go to change the expected messages because
it can no longer give a "reason" why it proved or disproved a
condition. It also adds a new test of a branch it couldn't prove
before.

It mostly guts test/sliceopt.go, removing everything related to slice
bounds optimizations and moving a few relevant tests to test/prove.go.
Much of this test is actually unreachable. The new prove pass figures
this out and doesn't try to prove anything about the unreachable
parts. The output on the unreachable parts is already suspect because
anything can be proved at that point, so it's really just a regression
test for an algorithm the compiler no longer uses.

This is a step toward fixing #23354. That issue is quite easy to fix

-												cmd/compile: fix CSE with commutative ops

CSE opportunities were being missed for commutative ops. We used to
order the args of commutative ops (by arg ID) once at the start of CSE.
But that may not be enough.

i1 = (Load ptr mem)
i2 = (Load ptr mem)
x1 = (Add i1 j)
x2 = (Add i2 j)

Equivalent commutative ops x1 and x2 may not get their args ordered in
the same way because because at the start of CSE, we don't know that
the i values will be CSEd. If x1 and x2 get opposite orders we won't
CSE them.

Instead, (re)order the args of commutative operations by their
equivalence class IDs each time we partition an equivalence class.

-												cmd/compile: make prove pass use unsatisfiability

Currently the prove pass uses implication queries. For each block, it
collects the set of branch conditions leading to that block, and
queries this fact table for whether any of these facts imply the
block's own branch condition (or its inverse). This works remarkably
well considering it doesn't do any deduction on these facts, but it
has various downsides:

1. It requires an implementation both of adding facts to the table and
   determining implications. These are very nearly duals of each
   other, but require separate implementations. Likewise, the process
   of asserting facts of dominating branch conditions is very nearly
   the dual of the process of querying implied branch conditions.

2. It leads to less effective use of derived facts. For example, the
   prove pass currently derives facts about the relations between len
   and cap, but can't make use of these unless a branch condition is
   in the exact form of a derived fact. If one of these derived facts
   contradicts another fact, it won't notice or make use of this.

This CL changes the approach of the prove pass to instead use
*contradiction* instead of implication. Rather than ever querying a
branch condition, it simply adds branch conditions to the fact table.
If this leads to a contradiction (specifically, it makes the fact set
unsatisfiable), that branch is impossible and can be cut. As a result,

1. We can eliminate the code for determining implications
   (factsTable.get disappears entirely). Also, there is now a single
   implementation of visiting and asserting branch conditions, since
   we don't have to flip them around to treat them as facts in one
   place and queries in another.

2. Derived facts can be used effectively. It doesn't matter *why* the
   fact table is unsatisfiable; a contradiction in any of the facts is
   enough.

3. As an added benefit, it's now quite easy to avoid traversing beyond
   provably-unreachable blocks. In contrast, the current
   implementation always visits all blocks.

The prove pass already has nearly all of the mechanism necessary to
compute unsatisfiability, which means this both simplifies the code
and makes it more powerful.

The only complication is that the current implication procedure has a
hack for dealing with the 0 <= Args[0] condition of OpIsInBounds and
OpIsSliceInBounds. We replace this with asserting the appropriate fact
when we process one of these conditions. This seems much cleaner
anyway, and works because we can now take advantage of derived facts.

This has no measurable effect on compiler performance.

Effectiveness:

There is exactly one condition in all of std and cmd that this fails
to prove that the old implementation could: (int64(^uint(0)>>1) < x)
in encoding/gob. This can never be true because x is an int, and it's
basically coincidence that the old code gets this. (For example, it
fails to prove the similar (x < ^int64(^uint(0)>>1)) condition that
immediately precedes it, and even though the conditions are logically
unrelated, it wouldn't get the second one if it hadn't first processed
the first!)

It does, however, prove a few dozen additional branches. These come
from facts that are added to the fact table about the relations
between len and cap. These were almost never queried directly before,
but could lead to contradictions, which the unsat-based approach is

There are exactly two branches in std and cmd that this implementation
proves in the *other* direction. This sounds scary, but is okay
because both occur in already-unreachable blocks, so it doesn't matter

it fails to prove that the block isn't reachable, even though it is

It mostly guts test/sliceopt.go, removing everything related to slice
bounds optimizations and moving a few relevant tests to test/prove.go.
Much of this test is actually unreachable. The new prove pass figures

parts. The output on the unreachable parts is already suspect because
anything can be proved at that point, so it's really just a regression
test for an algorithm the compiler no longer uses.

This is a step toward fixing #23354. That issue is quite easy to fix

-												cmd/compile: fix CSE with commutative ops

CSE opportunities were being missed for commutative ops. We used to
order the args of commutative ops (by arg ID) once at the start of CSE.
But that may not be enough.

i1 = (Load ptr mem)
i2 = (Load ptr mem)
x1 = (Add i1 j)
x2 = (Add i2 j)

Equivalent commutative ops x1 and x2 may not get their args ordered in
the same way because because at the start of CSE, we don't know that
the i values will be CSEd. If x1 and x2 get opposite orders we won't
CSE them.

Instead, (re)order the args of commutative operations by their
equivalence class IDs each time we partition an equivalence class.

-												cmd/compile: make prove pass use unsatisfiability

Currently the prove pass uses implication queries. For each block, it
collects the set of branch conditions leading to that block, and
queries this fact table for whether any of these facts imply the
block's own branch condition (or its inverse). This works remarkably
well considering it doesn't do any deduction on these facts, but it
has various downsides:

1. It requires an implementation both of adding facts to the table and
   determining implications. These are very nearly duals of each
   other, but require separate implementations. Likewise, the process
   of asserting facts of dominating branch conditions is very nearly
   the dual of the process of querying implied branch conditions.

2. It leads to less effective use of derived facts. For example, the
   prove pass currently derives facts about the relations between len
   and cap, but can't make use of these unless a branch condition is
   in the exact form of a derived fact. If one of these derived facts
   contradicts another fact, it won't notice or make use of this.

This CL changes the approach of the prove pass to instead use
*contradiction* instead of implication. Rather than ever querying a
branch condition, it simply adds branch conditions to the fact table.
If this leads to a contradiction (specifically, it makes the fact set
unsatisfiable), that branch is impossible and can be cut. As a result,

1. We can eliminate the code for determining implications
   (factsTable.get disappears entirely). Also, there is now a single
   implementation of visiting and asserting branch conditions, since
   we don't have to flip them around to treat them as facts in one
   place and queries in another.

2. Derived facts can be used effectively. It doesn't matter *why* the
   fact table is unsatisfiable; a contradiction in any of the facts is
   enough.

3. As an added benefit, it's now quite easy to avoid traversing beyond
   provably-unreachable blocks. In contrast, the current
   implementation always visits all blocks.

The prove pass already has nearly all of the mechanism necessary to
compute unsatisfiability, which means this both simplifies the code
and makes it more powerful.

The only complication is that the current implication procedure has a
hack for dealing with the 0 <= Args[0] condition of OpIsInBounds and
OpIsSliceInBounds. We replace this with asserting the appropriate fact
when we process one of these conditions. This seems much cleaner
anyway, and works because we can now take advantage of derived facts.

This has no measurable effect on compiler performance.

Effectiveness:

There is exactly one condition in all of std and cmd that this fails
to prove that the old implementation could: (int64(^uint(0)>>1) < x)
in encoding/gob. This can never be true because x is an int, and it's
basically coincidence that the old code gets this. (For example, it
fails to prove the similar (x < ^int64(^uint(0)>>1)) condition that
immediately precedes it, and even though the conditions are logically
unrelated, it wouldn't get the second one if it hadn't first processed
the first!)

It does, however, prove a few dozen additional branches. These come
from facts that are added to the fact table about the relations
between len and cap. These were almost never queried directly before,
but could lead to contradictions, which the unsat-based approach is
able to use.

There are exactly two branches in std and cmd that this implementation
proves in the *other* direction. This sounds scary, but is okay
because both occur in already-unreachable blocks, so it doesn't matter

   (factsTable.get disappears entirely). Also, there is now a single
   implementation of visiting and asserting branch conditions, since
   we don't have to flip them around to treat them as facts in one
   place and queries in another.

2. Derived facts can be used effectively. It doesn't matter *why* the
   fact table is unsatisfiable; a contradiction in any of the facts is
   enough.

3. As an added benefit, it's now quite easy to avoid traversing beyond
   provably-unreachable blocks. In contrast, the current
   implementation always visits all blocks.

The prove pass already has nearly all of the mechanism necessary to
compute unsatisfiability, which means this both simplifies the code
and makes it more powerful.

The only complication is that the current implication procedure has a
hack for dealing with the 0 <= Args[0] condition of OpIsInBounds and
OpIsSliceInBounds. We replace this with asserting the appropriate fact
when we process one of these conditions. This seems much cleaner
anyway, and works because we can now take advantage of derived facts.

This has no measurable effect on compiler performance.

Effectiveness:

There is exactly one condition in all of std and cmd that this fails
to prove that the old implementation could: (int64(^uint(0)>>1) < x)
in encoding/gob. This can never be true because x is an int, and it's
basically coincidence that the old code gets this. (For example, it
fails to prove the similar (x < ^int64(^uint(0)>>1)) condition that
immediately precedes it, and even though the conditions are logically
unrelated, it wouldn't get the second one if it hadn't first processed
the first!)

It does, however, prove a few dozen additional branches. These come
from facts that are added to the fact table about the relations
between len and cap. These were almost never queried directly before,
but could lead to contradictions, which the unsat-based approach is
able to use.

There are exactly two branches in std and cmd that this implementation
proves in the *other* direction. This sounds scary, but is okay
because both occur in already-unreachable blocks, so it doesn't matter
what we chose. Because the fact table logic is sound but incomplete,
it fails to prove that the block isn't reachable, even though it is
able to prove that both outgoing branches are impossible. We could
turn these blocks into BlockExit blocks, but it doesn't seem worth the
trouble of the extra proof effort for something that happens twice in
all of std and cmd.

Tests:

This CL updates test/prove.go to change the expected messages because
it can no longer give a "reason" why it proved or disproved a
condition. It also adds a new test of a branch it couldn't prove
before.

It mostly guts test/sliceopt.go, removing everything related to slice
bounds optimizations and moving a few relevant tests to test/prove.go.
Much of this test is actually unreachable. The new prove pass figures
this out and doesn't try to prove anything about the unreachable
parts. The output on the unreachable parts is already suspect because
anything can be proved at that point, so it's really just a regression
test for an algorithm the compiler no longer uses.

This is a step toward fixing #23354. That issue is quite easy to fix
once we can use derived facts effectively.

-												cmd/compile: derive unsigned limits from signed limits in prove

This adds a few simple deductions to the prove pass' fact table to
derive unsigned concrete limits from signed concrete limits where
possible.

This tweak lets the pass prove 70 additional branch conditions in std
and cmd.

This is based on a comment from the recently-deleted factsTable.get:
"// TODO: also use signed data if lim.min >= 0".

-												cmd/compile: in prove, fix fence-post implications for unsigned domain

Fence-post implications of the form "x-1 >= w && x > min ⇒ x > w"
were not correctly handling unsigned domain, by always checking signed
limits.

This bug was uncovered once we taught prove that len(x) is always
>= 0 in the signed domain.

In the code being miscompiled (s[len(s)-1]), prove checks
whether len(s)-1 >= len(s) in the unsigned domain; if it proves
that this is always false, it can remove the bound check.

Notice that len(s)-1 >= len(s) can be true for len(s) = 0 because
of the wrap-around, so this is something prove should not be
able to deduce.

But because of the bug, the gate condition for the fence-post
implication was len(s) > MinInt64 instead of len(s) > 0; that
condition would be good in the signed domain but not in the
unsigned domain. And since in CL105635 we taught prove that
len(s) >= 0, the condition incorrectly triggered
(len(s) >= 0 > MinInt64) and things were going downfall.

When a loop has bound len(s)-delta, findIndVar detected it and
returned len(s) as (conservative) upper bound. This little lie
allowed loopbce to drop bound checks.

It is obviously more generic to teach prove about relations like
x+d<w for non-constant "w"; we already handled the case for
constant "w", so we just want to learn that if d<0, then x+d<w
proves that x<w.

To be able to remove the code from findIndVar, we also need
to teach prove that len() and cap() are always non-negative.

This CL allows to prove 633 more checks in cmd+std. Most
of them are cases where the code was already testing before
accessing a slice but the compiler didn't know it. For instance,
take strings.HasSuffix:

    func HasSuffix(s, suffix string) bool {
        return len(s) >= len(suffix) && s[len(s)-len(suffix):] == suffix
    }

When suffix is a literal string, the compiler now understands
that the explicit check is enough to not emit a slice check.

I also found a loopbce test that was incorrectly
written to detect an overflow but had a off-by-one (on the
conservative side), so it unexpectly passed with this CL; I
changed it to really trigger the overflow as intended.

-												cmd/compile: detect OFORUNTIL inductive facts in prove

Currently, we compile range loops into for loops with the obvious
initialization and update of the index variable. In this form, the
prove pass can see that the body is dominated by an i < len condition,
and findIndVar can detect that i is an induction variable and that
0 <= i < len.

GOEXPERIMENT=preemptibleloops compiles range loops to OFORUNTIL and
we're preparing to unconditionally switch to a variation of this for
 #24543. OFORUNTIL moves the increment and condition *after* the body,
which makes the bounds on the index variable much less obvious. With
OFORUNTIL, proving anything about the index variable requires
understanding the phi that joins the index values at the top of the
loop body block.

This interferes with both prove's ability to see that i < len (this is
true on both paths that enter the body, but from two different
conditional checks) and with findIndVar's ability to detect the
induction pattern.

Fix this by teaching prove to detect that the index in the pattern
constructed by OFORUNTIL is an induction variable and add both bounds
to the facts table. Currently this is done separately from findIndVar
because it depends on prove's factsTable, while findIndVar runs before
visiting blocks and building the factsTable.

Without any GOEXPERIMENT, this has no effect on std or cmd. However,
with GOEXPERIMENT=preemptibleloops, this change becomes necessary to
prove 90 conditions in std and cmd.

-												cmd/compile: don't produce a past-the-end pointer in range loops

Currently, range loops over slices and arrays are compiled roughly
like:

for i, x := range s { b }
  ⇓
for i, _n, _p := 0, len(s), &s[0]; i < _n; i, _p = i+1, _p + unsafe.Sizeof(s[0]) { b }
  ⇓
i, _n, _p := 0, len(s), &s[0]
goto cond
body:
{ b }
i, _p = i+1, _p + unsafe.Sizeof(s[0])
cond:
if i < _n { goto body } else { goto end }
end:

The problem with this lowering is that _p may temporarily point past
the end of the allocation the moment before the loop terminates. Right
now this isn't a problem because there's never a safe-point during
this brief moment.

We're about to introduce safe-points everywhere, so this bad pointer
is going to be a problem. We could mark the increment as an unsafe
block, but this inhibits reordering opportunities and could result in
infrequent safe-points if the body is short.

Instead, this CL fixes this by changing how we compile range loops to
never produce this past-the-end pointer. It changes the lowering to
roughly:

i, _n, _p := 0, len(s), &s[0]
if i < _n { goto body } else { goto end }
top:
_p += unsafe.Sizeof(s[0])
body:
{ b }
i++
if i < _n { goto top } else { goto end }
end:

Notably, the increment is split into two parts: we increment the index
before checking the condition, but increment the pointer only *after*
the condition check has succeeded.

The implementation builds on the OFORUNTIL construct that was
introduced during the loop preemption experiments, since OFORUNTIL
places the increment and condition after the loop body. To support the
extra "late increment" step, we further define OFORUNTIL's "List"
field to contain the late increment statements. This makes all of this
a relatively small change.

This depends on the improvements to the prove pass in CL 102603. With
the current lowering, bounds-check elimination knows that i < _n in
the body because the body block is dominated by the cond block. In the
new lowering, deriving this fact requires detecting that i < _n on
*both* paths into body and hence is true in body. CL 102603 made prove
able to detect this.

The code size effect of this is minimal. The cmd/go binary on
linux/amd64 increases by 0.17%. Performance-wise, this actually
appears to be a net win, though it's mostly noise:

-												cmd/compile/internal/ssa: generalize prove to all booleans

* Refacts a bit saving and restoring parents restrictions
* Shaves ~100k from pkg/tools/linux_amd64,
but most of the savings come from the rewrite rules.
* Improves on the following artificial test case:
func f1(a4 bool, a6 bool) bool {
  return a6 || (a6 || (a6 || a4)) || (a6 || (a4 || a6 || (false || a6)))
}

I patched in CL 12960 that does bounds, nil and constant propagation
to make sure this CL is not just redundant. Size of pkg/tool/linux_amd64/*
(excluding compile which is affected by this change):

With IsInBounds and IsSliceInBounds

+this -12960 91947416
-this +12960 91978976
+this +12960 91923088

Gain is ~110% of 12960.

+this -12960 95492536
-this +12960 95216920

Shaves 22k on its own.

* Can we handle IsInBounds better with this? In
for i := range a { a[i]++; } the bounds checking at a[i]
is not eliminated.
