Devang Patel e9e16c5f52 Today, the language front ends produces llvm.dbg.* intrinsics, used to encode arguments' debug info, in order any way, most of the times. However, if a front end mix-n-matches llvm.dbg.declare and llvm.dbg.value intrinsics to encode debug info for arguments then code generator needs a way to find argument order.
Use 8 bits from line number field to keep track of argument ordering while encoding debug info for an argument. That leaves 24 bit for line no, DebugLoc also allocates 24 bit for line numbers. If a function has more than 255 arguments then rest of the arguments will be ordered by llvm.dbg.* intrinsics' ordering in IR.

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))
