In order to enable the preservation of noalias function parameter information after inlining, and the representation of block-level __restrict__ pointer information (etc.), additional kinds of aliasing metadata will be introduced. This metadata needs to be carried around in AliasAnalysis::Location objects (and MMOs at the SDAG level), and so we need to generalize the current scheme (which is hard-coded to just one TBAA MDNode*). This commit introduces only the necessary refactoring to allow for the introduction of other aliasing metadata types, but does not actually introduce any (that will come in a follow-up commit). What it does introduce is a new AAMDNodes structure to hold all of the aliasing metadata nodes associated with a particular memory-accessing instruction, and uses that structure instead of the raw MDNode* in AliasAnalysis::Location, etc. No functionality change intended. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@213859 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
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))
