GVN-hoist: improve code generation for recursive GEPs
When loading or storing in a field of a struct like "a.b.c", GVN is able to detect the equivalent expressions, and GVN-hoist would fail in the code generation. This is because the GEPs are not hoisted as scalar operations to avoid moving the GEPs too far from their ld/st instruction when the ld/st is not movable. So we end up having to generate code for the GEP of a ld/st when we move the ld/st. In the case of a GEP referring to another GEP as in "a.b.c" we need to code generate all the GEPs necessary to make all the operands available at the new location for the ld/st. With this patch we recursively walk through the GEP operands checking whether all operands are available, and in the case of a GEP operand, it recursively makes all its operands available. Code generation happens from the inner GEPs out until reaching the GEP that appears as an operand of the ld/st. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D22599 llvm-svn: 276841
