This is clearly out-of-scope, but for the record I don’t think it’s hard to find the branch that the loop latch is control dependent on, and the loop metadata could just always reside there. That way, the metadata would only be invalidated if the loop test itself changed. I would do it by looking for a loop exit block that dominates the (unconditional) latch and doesn’t dominate any other loop exits.
