Chandler Carruth c0d18b6696 Fix ValueTracking to conclude that debug intrinsics are safe to
speculate. Without this, loop rotate (among many other places) would
suddenly stop working in the presence of debug info. I found this
looking at loop rotate, and have augmented its tests with a reduction
out of a very hot loop in yacr2 where failing to do this rotation costs
sometimes more than 10% in runtime performance, perturbing numerous
downstream optimizations.

This should have no impact on performance without debug info, but the
change in performance when debug info is enabled can be extreme. As
a consequence (and this how I got to this yak) any profiling of
performance problems should be treated with deep suspicion -- they may
have been wildly innacurate of debug info was enabled for profiling. =/
Just a heads up.

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

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))
