fold: sqrt(x * x * y) -> fabs(x) * sqrt(y)
If a square root call has an FP multiplication argument that can be reassociated, then we can hoist a repeated factor out of the square root call and into a fabs(). In the simplest case, this: y = sqrt(x * x); becomes this: y = fabs(x); This patch relies on an earlier optimization in instcombine or reassociate to put the multiplication tree into a canonical form, so we don't have to search over every permutation of the multiplication tree. Because there are no IR-level FastMathFlags for intrinsics (PR21290), we have to use function-level attributes to do this optimization. This needs to be fixed for both the intrinsics and in the backend. Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D5787 llvm-svn: 219944
