As noted in D34071, there are some IR optimization opportunities that could be
handled by normal IR passes if this expansion wasn't happening so late in CGP.
Regardless of that, it seems wasteful to knowingly produce suboptimal IR here,
so I'm proposing this change:
%s = sub i32 %x, %y
%r = icmp ne %s, 0
=>
%r = icmp ne %x, %y
Changing the predicate to 'eq' mimics what InstCombine would do, so that's just
an efficiency improvement if we decide this expansion should happen sooner.
The fact that the PowerPC backend doesn't eliminate the 'subf.' might be
something for PPC folks to investigate separately.

This is the last step needed to avoid regressions for x86 before we flip the switch to allow
expansion of the smallest set of memcpy() via CGP. The DAG version checks for constant strings,
so we need to do that here too.
FWIW, the 2 constant test is not handled by LibCallSimplifier::optimizeMemCmp() because that
code is limited to 8-bit constant arrays. LibCallSimplifier will also fail to optimize some 1
constant tests because its alignment requirements are too strict (shouldn't require alignment
for a constant operand).

In SDAG, we don't expand libcalls with a nobuiltin attribute.
It's not clear if that's correct from the existing code comment:
"Don't do the check if marked as nobuiltin for some reason."
...adding a test here either way to show that there is currently
a different behavior implemented in the CGP-based expansion.

The test diff for PowerPC shows we can better optimize if this case is one block.
For x86, there's would be a substantial difference if CGP expansion was enabled because branches are assumed
cheap and SDAG can't optimize across blocks.
Instead of this:
_cmp_eq8:
movq (%rdi), %rax
cmpq (%rsi), %rax
je LBB23_1
## BB#2: ## %res_block
movl $1, %ecx
jmp LBB23_3
LBB23_1:
xorl %ecx, %ecx
LBB23_3: ## %endblock
xorl %eax, %eax
testl %ecx, %ecx
sete %al
retq
We get this:
cmp_eq8:
movq (%rdi), %rcx
xorl %eax, %eax
cmpq (%rsi), %rcx
sete %al
retq
And that matches the optimal codegen that we get from the current expansion in SelectionDAGBuilder::visitMemCmpCall().
If this looks right, then I just need to confirm that vector-sized expansion will work from here, and we can enable
CGP memcmp() expansion for x86. Ie, we'll bypass the power-of-2 special cases currently optimized in SDAG because we
can lower the IR produced here optimally.

This could be viewed as another shortcoming of the DAGCombiner:
when both operands of a compare are zexted from the same source
type, we should be able to compare the original types.
The effect on PowerPC perf is likely unnoticeable, but there's a
visible regression for x86 if we feed the suboptimal IR for memcmp
expansion to the DAG:
_cmp_eq4_zexted_to_i64:
movl (%rdi), %ecx
movl (%rsi), %edx
xorl %eax, %eax
cmpq %rdx, %rcx
sete %al
_cmp_eq4_better:
movl (%rdi), %ecx
xorl %eax, %eax
cmpl (%rsi), %ecx
sete %al

I'd like to enable CGP memcmp expansion for x86, but the output from CGP would regress the
special cases (memcmp(x,y,N) != 0 for N=1,2,4,8,16,32 bytes) that we already handle.
I'm not sure if we'll actually be able to produce the optimal code given the block-at-a-time
limitation in the DAG. We might have to just avoid those special-cases here in CGP. But
regardless of that, I think this is a win for the more general cases.

3 of the tests were testing exactly the same thing: memcmp(x, y, 16) != 0.
I changed that to test 4, 7, and 16 bytes, so we can see how those differ.

This patch does an inline expansion of memcmp.
It changes the memcmp library call into an inline expansion when the size is
known at compile time and is under a target specified threshold.
This expansion is implemented in CodeGenPrepare and expands into straight line
code. The target specifies a maximum load size and the expansion works by using
this size to load the two sources, compare, and exit early if a difference is
found. It also has a special case when the memcmp result is used in a compare
to zero equality.
