Summary:
This is a fix to PR37005.
Essentially, rL328539 ([InstCombine] reassociate loop invariant GEP chains to enable LICM) contains a bug
whereby it will convert:
%src = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %base, <2 x i64> %val
%res = getelementptr inbounds i8, <2 x i8*> %src, i64 %val2
into:
%src = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %base, i64 %val2
%res = getelementptr inbounds i8, <2 x i8*> %src, <2 x i64> %val
By swapping the index operands if the GEPs are in a loop, and %val is loop variant while %val2
is loop invariant.
This fix recreates new GEP instructions if the index operand swap would result in the type
of %src changing from vector to scalar, or vice versa.

This change brings performance of zlib up by 10%. The example below is from a
hot loop in longest_match() from zlib.
do.body:
%cur_match.addr.0 = phi i32 [ %cur_match, %entry ], [ %2, %do.cond ]
%idx.ext = zext i32 %cur_match.addr.0 to i64
%add.ptr = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %win, i64 %idx.ext
%add.ptr2 = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %add.ptr, i64 %idx.ext1
%add.ptr3 = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %add.ptr2, i64 -1
In this example %idx.ext1 is a loop invariant. It will be moved above the use of
loop induction variable %idx.ext such that it can be hoisted out of the loop by
LICM. The operands that have dependences carried by the loop will be sinked down
in the GEP chain. This patch will produce the following output:
do.body:
%cur_match.addr.0 = phi i32 [ %cur_match, %entry ], [ %2, %do.cond ]
%idx.ext = zext i32 %cur_match.addr.0 to i64
%add.ptr = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %win, i64 %idx.ext1
%add.ptr2 = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %add.ptr, i64 -1
%add.ptr3 = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %add.ptr2, i64 %idx.ext
