Clement Courbet 4f713f8431 [SelectionDAG] Allow the user to specify a memeq function.
Summary:
Right now, when we encounter a string equality check,
e.g. `if (memcmp(a, b, s) == 0)`, we try to expand to a comparison if `s` is a
small compile-time constant, and fall back on calling `memcmp()` else.

This is sub-optimal because memcmp has to compute much more than
equality.

This patch replaces `memcmp(a, b, s) == 0` by `bcmp(a, b, s) == 0` on platforms
that support `bcmp`.

`bcmp` can be made much more efficient than `memcmp` because equality
compare is trivially parallel while lexicographic ordering has a chain
dependency.

Analysis Opportunities:

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

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))
