Summary:
Transform
pow(C,x)
To
exp2(log2(C)*x)
if C > 0, C != inf, C != NaN (and C is not power of 2, since we have some fold for such case already).
log(C) is folded by the compiler and exp2 is much faster to compute than pow.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.
llvm-svn: 358546
Expand the simplification of `pow(exp{,2}(x), y)` to all FP types.
This improvement helps some benchmarks in SPEC CPU2000 and CPU2006, such as
252.eon, 447.dealII, 453.povray. Otherwise, no significant regressions on
x86-64 or A64.

Fix the issue of duplicating the call to `exp{,2}()` when it's nested in
`pow()`, as exposed by rL340462.

Prepatory patch before changing LibCallSimplifier to use the FMF.
Also, tighten the CHECK lines and give the tests more meaningful names.
Similar changes to:

llvm-svn: 257481
This patch adds optional fast-math-flags (the same that apply to fmul/fadd/fsub/fdiv/frem/fcmp)
to call instructions in IR. Follow-up patches would use these flags in LibCallSimplifier, add
support to clang, and extend FMF to the DAG for calls.
Motivating example:
%y = fmul fast float %x, %x
%z = tail call float @sqrtf(float %y)
We'd like to be able to optimize sqrt(x*x) into fabs(x). We do this today using a function-wide
attribute for unsafe-math, but we really want to trigger on the instructions themselves:
%z = tail call fast float @sqrtf(float %y)
because in an LTO build it's possible that calls with fast semantics have been inlined into a
function with non-fast semantics.
The code changes and tests are based on the recent commits that added "notail":
