Bob Wilson c38b636e6e Make sure always-inline functions get inlined. <rdar://problem/12423986>
Without this change, when the estimated cost for inlining a function with
an "alwaysinline" attribute was lower than the inlining threshold, the
getInlineCost function was returning that estimated cost rather than the
special InlineCost::AlwaysInlineCost value. That is fine in the normal
inlining case, but it can fail when the inliner considers the opportunity
cost of inlining into an internal or linkonce-odr function. It may decide
not to inline the always-inline function in that case. The fix here is just
to make getInlineCost always return the special value for always-inline
functions. I ran into this building clang with libc++. Tablegen failed to
link because of an always-inline function that was not inlined. I have been
unable to reduce the testcase down to a reasonable size.

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

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))
