Fix the time regression I introduced in 464.h264ref with
my last patch to this file. The issue there was that all uses of an IV inside a loop are actually references to Base[IV*2], and there was one use outside that was the same but LSR didn't see the base or the scaling because it didn't recurse into uses outside the loop; thus, it used base+IV*scale mode inside the loop instead of pulling base out of the loop. This was extra bad because register pressure later forced both base and IV into memory. Doing that recursion, at least enough to figure out addressing modes, is a good idea in general; the change in AddUsersIfInteresting does this. However, there were side effects.... It is also possible for recursing outside the loop to introduce another IV where there was only 1 before (if the refs inside are not scaled and the ref outside is). I don't think this is a common case, but it's in the testsuite. It is right to be very aggressive about getting rid of such introduced IVs (CheckForIVReuse and the handling of nonzero RewriteFactor in StrengthReduceStridedIVUsers). In the testcase in question the new IV produced this way has both a nonconstant stride and a nonzero base, neither of which was handled before. (This patch does not handle all the cases where this can happen.) And when inserting new code that feeds into a PHI, it's right to put such code at the original location rather than in the PHI's immediate predecessor(s) when the original location is outside the loop (a case that couldn't happen before) (RewriteInstructionToUseNewBase); better to avoid making multiple copies of it in this case. Everything above is exercised in CodeGen/X86/lsr-negative-stride.ll (and ifcvt4 in ARM which is the same IR). llvm-svn: 61178
