Fix PR 17368: disable vector mul distribution for square of add/sub for ARM
Generally, it is desirable to distribute (a + b) * c to a*c + b*c for ARM with VMLx forwarding, where a, b and c are vectors. However, for (a + b)*(a + b), distribution will result in one extra instruction. With distribution: x = a + b (add) y = a * x (mul) z = y + b * y (mla) Without distribution: x = a + b (add) z = x * x (mul) This patch checks if a mul is a square of add/sub. If yes, skip distribution. llvm-svn: 191410
