phi is on lhs of a comparison op.
For the following testcase,
L1:
%t0 = add i32 %m, 7
%t3 = icmp eq i32* %t2, null
br i1 %t3, label %L3, label %L2
L2:
%t4 = load i32, i32* %t2, align 4
br label %L3
L3:
%t5 = phi i32 [ %t0, %L1 ], [ %t4, %L2 ]
%t6 = icmp eq i32 %t0, %t5
br i1 %t6, label %L4, label %L5
We know if we go through the path L1 --> L3, %t6 should always be true. However
currently, if the rhs of the eq comparison is phi, JumpThreading fails to
evaluate %t6 to true. And we know that Instcombine cannot guarantee always
canonicalizing phi to the left hand side of the comparison operation according
to the operand priority comparison mechanism in instcombine. The patch handles
the case when rhs of the comparison op is a phi.
