Teach DAGCombine to fold fold (sra (trunc (sr x, c1)), c2) -> (trunc (sra x, c1+c2) when c1 equals the amount of bits that are truncated off.
This happens all the time when a smul is promoted to a larger type. On x86-64 we now compile "int test(int x) { return x/10; }" into movslq %edi, %rax imulq $1717986919, %rax, %rax movq %rax, %rcx shrq $63, %rcx sarq $34, %rax <- used to be "shrq $32, %rax; sarl $2, %eax" addl %ecx, %eax This fires 96 times in gcc.c on x86-64. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@124559 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

-We miss an optzn when lowering divide by some constants. For example:
- int test(int x) { return x/10; }
-
-We produce:
-
-_test: ## @test
-## BB#0: ## %entry
- movslq %edi, %rax
- imulq $1717986919, %rax, %rax ## imm = 0x66666667
- movq %rax, %rcx
- shrq $63, %rcx
-** shrq $32, %rax
-** sarl $2, %eax
- addl %ecx, %eax
- ret
-
-The two starred instructions could be replaced with a "sarl $34, %rax". This
-occurs in 186.crafty very frequently.
