Hal Finkel c37f502d48 Phi speculation improvement for BasicAA
This is a partial solution to PR14351. It removes some of the special
significance of the first incoming phi value in the phi aliasing checking logic
in BasicAA. In the context of a loop, the old logic assumes that the first
incoming value is the interesting one (meaning that it is the one that comes
from outside the loop), but this is often not the case.  With this change, we
now test first the incoming value that comes from a block other than the parent
of the phi being tested.

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))
