[CodeGen/Analysis] Intrinsic llvm.assume should not block tail call optimization

weiguozhi · weiguozhi · commit e03f6a163176 · 2019-08-16T16:26:12.000Z
In function Analysis.cpp:isInTailCallPosition, instructions between call and ret are checked to see if they block tail call optimization. If an instruction is an intrinsic call, only llvm.lifetime_end is allowed and other intrinsic functions block tail call. When compiling tcmalloc, we found llvm.assume between a hot function call and ret, it blocks the optimization. But llvm.assume doesn't generate instructions, it should not block tail call.
