James Molloy d594ba0815 Reapply r237539 with a fix for the Chromium build.
Make sure if we're truncating a constant that would then be sign extended
that the sign extension of the truncated constant is the same as the
original constant.

> Canonicalize min/max expressions correctly.
>
> This patch introduces a canonical form for min/max idioms where one operand
> is extended or truncated. This often happens when the other operand is a
> constant. For example:
>
> %1 = icmp slt i32 %a, i32 0
> %2 = sext i32 %a to i64
> %3 = select i1 %1, i64 %2, i64 0
>
> Would now be canonicalized into:
>
> %1 = icmp slt i32 %a, i32 0
> %2 = select i1 %1, i32 %a, i32 0
> %3 = sext i32 %2 to i64
>
> This builds upon a patch posted by David Majenemer
> (https://www.marc.info/?l=llvm-commits&m=143008038714141&w=2). That pass
> passively stopped instcombine from ruining canonical patterns. This
> patch additionally actively makes instcombine canonicalize too.
>
> Canonicalization of expressions involving a change in type from int->fp
> or fp->int are not yet implemented.

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

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))
