Adam Nemet 86dbc2b6d3 [LAA-memchecks 3/3] Introduce pointer partitions for memchecks
This is the final patch that actually introduces the new parameter of
partition mapping to RuntimePointerCheck::needsChecking.

Another API (LAI::getInstructionsForAccess) is also exposed that helps
to map pointers to instructions because ultimately we partition
instructions.

The WIP version of the Loop Distribution pass in D6930 has been adapted
to use all this.  See for example, how
InstrPartitionContainer::computePartitionSetForPointers sets up the
partitions using the above API and then calls to LAI::addRuntimeCheck
with the pointer partitions.

Analysis Opportunities:

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

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))
