Duncan Sands 1845009290 In which I discover the existence of loops. Threading an operation
over a phi node by applying it to each operand may be wrong if the
operation and the phi node are mutually interdependent (the testcase
has a simple example of this).  So only do this transform if it would
be correct to perform the operation in each predecessor of the block
containing the phi, i.e. if the other operands all dominate the phi.
This should fix the FFMPEG snow.c regression reported by İsmail Dönmez.

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))
