Arnold Schwaighofer 3d5f96ee1b BasicAA: Recognize cyclic NoAlias phis
Enhances basic alias analysis to recognize phis whose first incoming values are
NoAlias and whose other incoming values are just the phi node itself through
some amount of recursion.

Example: With this change basicaa reports that ptr_phi and ptr_phi2 do not alias
each other.

bb:
 ptr = ptr2 + 1

loop:
  ptr_phi = phi [bb, ptr], [loop, ptr_plus_one]
  ptr2_phi = phi [bb, ptr2], [loop, ptr2_plus_one]
  ...
  ptr_plus_one = gep ptr_phi, 1
  ptr2_plus_one = gep ptr2_phi, 1

This enables the elimination of one load in code like the following:

extern int foo;

int test_noalias(int *ptr, int num, int* coeff) {
  int *ptr2 = ptr;
  int result = (*ptr++) * (*coeff--);
  while (num--) {
    *ptr2++ = *ptr;
    result +=  (*coeff--) * (*ptr++);
  }
  *ptr = foo;
  return result;
}

Part 2/2 of fix for PR13564.

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

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))
