Hal Finkel cd9acde7f3 Use AA in LoadCombine
LoadCombine can be smarter about aborting when a writing instruction is
encountered, instead of aborting upon encountering any writing instruction, use
an AliasSetTracker, and only abort when encountering some write that might
alias with the loads that could potentially be combined.

This was originally motivated by comments made (and a test case provided) by
David Majnemer in response to PR21448. It turned out that LoadCombine was not
responsible for that PR, but LoadCombine should also be improved so that
unrelated stores (and @llvm.assume) don't interrupt load combining.

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))
