Teresa Johnson 9fd063832c [ThinLTO] Use per-summary flag to prevent exporting locals used in inline asm
Summary:
Instead of using the workaround of suppressing the entire index for
modules that call inline asm that may reference locals, use the
NoRename flag on the summary for any locals in the llvm.used set, and
add a reference edge from any functions containing inline asm.

This avoids issues from having no summaries despite the module defining
global values, which was preventing more aggressive index-based
optimization. It will be followed by a subsequent patch to make a
similar fix for local references in module level asm (to fix PR30610).

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

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))
