auto-simplier the transform most missed by early-cse is (zext X) != 0 -> X != 0.
This patch adds this transform and some related logic to InstructionSimplify
and removes some of the logic from instcombine (unfortunately not all because
there are several situations in which instcombine can improve things by making
new instructions, whereas instsimplify is not allowed to do this). At -O2 this
often results in more than 15% more simplifications by early-cse, and results in
hundreds of lines of bitcode being eliminated from the testsuite. I did see some
small negative effects in the testsuite, for example a few additional instructions
in three programs. One program, 483.xalancbmk, got an additional 35 instructions,
which seems to be due to a function getting an additional instruction and then
being inlined all over the place.

These were not recommended by my auto-simplifier since they don't fire often enough.
However they do fire from time to time, for example they remove one subtraction from
the final bitcode for 483.xalancbmk.

simplification in fully optimized code. It occurs sporadically in the testsuite, and
many times in 403.gcc: the final bitcode has 131 fewer subtractions after this change.
The reason that the multiplies are not eliminated is the same reason that instcombine
did not catch this: they are used by other instructions (instcombine catches this with
a more general transform which in general is only profitable if the operands have only
one use).
llvm-svn: 123754
simplification present in fully optimized code (I think instcombine fails to
transform some of these when "X-Y" has more than one use). Fires here and
there all over the test-suite, for example it eliminates 8 subtractions in
the final IR for 445.gobmk, 2 subs in 447.dealII, 2 in paq8p etc.

threading of shifts over selects and phis while there. This fires here and
there in the testsuite, to not much effect. For example when compiling spirit
it fires 5 times, during early-cse, resulting in 6 more cse simplifications,
and 3 more terminators being folded by jump threading, but the final bitcode
doesn't change in any interesting way: other optimizations would have caught
the opportunity anyway, only later.

is "X != 0 -> X" when X is a boolean. This occurs a lot because of the way
llvm-gcc converts gcc's conditional expressions. Add this, and a few other
similar transforms for completeness.
llvm-svn: 123372
numbering, in which it considers (for example) "%a = add i32 %x, %y" and
"%b = add i32 %x, %y" to be equal because the operands are equal and the
result of the instructions only depends on the values of the operands.
This has almost no effect (it removes 4 instructions from gcc-as-one-file),
and perhaps slows down compilation: I measured a 0.4% slowdown on the large
gcc-as-one-file testcase, but it wasn't statistically significant.

the original instruction, half the cases were missed (making it not
wrong but suboptimal). Also correct a typo (A <-> B) in the second
chunk.
llvm-svn: 122414
a couple of existing transforms. This fires surprisingly often, for
example when compiling gcc "(X+(-1))+1->X" fires quite a lot as well
as various "and" simplifications (usually with a phi node operand).
Most of the time this doesn't make a real difference since the same
thing would have been done elsewhere anyway, eg: by instcombine, but
there are a few places where this results in simplifications that we
were not doing before.
