**TL;DR:** This PR modifies a comparator. The comparator is used in a subsequent call to llvm::stable_sort. Sorting comparators should follow strict weak ordering - in particular, (x < x) should return false. This PR adds a fix to avoid an infinite loop when the inputs to the comparator are equal.
**Details**:
Sometimes when two equivalent tensors passed into the comparator, we encounter infinite looping (at aae2eaae2c/llvm/lib/Transforms/Vectorize/SLPVectorizer.cpp (L4049))
Although it seems like this comparator will never be called with two equivalent pointers, some sanitizers, e.g. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/gcc/+/refs/heads/stabilize-zako-5712.88.B/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/stl_algo.h#360, will add checks for (x < x). When this sanitizer is used with the current implementation, it triggers a comparator check for (x < x) which runs into the infinite loop

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
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.
