Divergence analysis for GPU programs
Summary: Some optimizations such as jump threading and loop unswitching can negatively affect performance when applied to divergent branches. The divergence analysis added in this patch conservatively estimates which branches in a GPU program can diverge. This information can then help LLVM to run certain optimizations selectively.
