[InstCombine] transform masking off of an FP sign bit into a fabs() intrinsic call (PR24886)
This is a partial fix for PR24886: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24886 Without this IR transform, the backend (x86 at least) was producing inefficient code. This patch is making 2 assumptions: 1. The canonical form of a fabs() operation is, in fact, the LLVM fabs() intrinsic. 2. The high bit of an FP value is always the sign bit; as noted in the bug report, this isn't specified by the LangRef. Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D13076 llvm-svn: 249702
