This is a retry of rL340135 (reverted at rL340136 because of gcc host compiler crashing)
with 2 changes:
1. Move the code into a helper to reduce code duplication (and hopefully work-around the crash).
2. The original commit had a formatting bug in the docs (missing an underscore).
Original commit message:
This exposes the LLVM funnel shift intrinsics as more familiar bit rotation functions in clang
(when both halves of a funnel shift are the same value, it's a rotate).
We're free to name these as we want because we're not copying gcc, but if there's some other
existing art (eg, the microsoft ops that are modified in this patch) that we want to replicate,
we can change the names.
The funnel shift intrinsics were added here:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D49242
With improved codegen in:
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL337966https://reviews.llvm.org/rL339359
And basic IR optimization added in:
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL338218https://reviews.llvm.org/rL340022
...so these are expected to produce asm output that's equal or better to the multi-instruction
alternatives using primitive C/IR ops.
In the motivating loop example from PR37387:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37387#c7
...we get the expected 'rolq' x86 instructions if we substitute the rotate builtin into the source.
