Duncan Sands 526c80bae4 Speculatively revert commits 142790 and 142843 to see if it fixes
the dragonegg and llvm-gcc self-host buildbots.  Original commit
messages:
- Reapply r142781 with fix. Original message:

  Enhance SCEV's brute force loop analysis to handle multiple PHI nodes in the
  loop header when computing the trip count.

  With this, we now constant evaluate:
    struct ListNode { const struct ListNode *next; int i; };
    static const struct ListNode node1 = {0, 1};
    static const struct ListNode node2 = {&node1, 2};
    static const struct ListNode node3 = {&node2, 3};
    int test() {
      int sum = 0;
      for (const struct ListNode *n = &node3; n != 0; n = n->next)
        sum += n->i;
      return sum;
    }

- Now that we look at all the header PHIs, we need to consider all the header PHIs
when deciding that the loop has stopped evolving. Fixes miscompile in the gcc
torture testsuite!

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
