Nikita Popov 00b5ecab5d [ValueTracking] Compute range for abs without nsw
This is a small followup to D59511. The code that was moved into
computeConstantRange() there is a bit overly conversative: If the
abs is not nsw, it does not compute any range. However, abs without
nsw still has a well-defined contiguous unsigned range from 0 to
SIGNED_MIN. This is a lot less useful than the usual 0 to SIGNED_MAX
range, but if we're already here we might as well specify it...

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
