Summary: Widening load in GVN is too early because it will block other optimizations like PRE, LICM. https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=29110 The SPECCPU2006 benchmark impact of this patch: Reference: o2_nopatch (1): o2_patched Benchmark Base:Reference (1) ------------------------------------------------------- spec/2006/fp/C++/444.namd 25.2 -0.08% spec/2006/fp/C++/447.dealII 45.92 +1.05% spec/2006/fp/C++/450.soplex 41.7 -0.26% spec/2006/fp/C++/453.povray 35.65 +1.68% spec/2006/fp/C/433.milc 23.79 +0.42% spec/2006/fp/C/470.lbm 41.88 -1.12% spec/2006/fp/C/482.sphinx3 47.94 +1.67% spec/2006/int/C++/471.omnetpp 22.46 -0.36% spec/2006/int/C++/473.astar 21.19 +0.24% spec/2006/int/C++/483.xalancbmk 36.09 -0.11% spec/2006/int/C/400.perlbench 33.28 +1.35% spec/2006/int/C/401.bzip2 22.76 -0.04% spec/2006/int/C/403.gcc 32.36 +0.12% spec/2006/int/C/429.mcf 41.04 -0.41% spec/2006/int/C/445.gobmk 26.94 +0.04% spec/2006/int/C/456.hmmer 24.5 -0.20% spec/2006/int/C/458.sjeng 28 -0.46% spec/2006/int/C/462.libquantum 55.25 +0.27% spec/2006/int/C/464.h264ref 45.87 +0.72% geometric mean +0.23% For most benchmarks, it's a wash, but we do see stable improvements on some benchmarks, e.g. 447,453,482,400.

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