depending on the address space for GPU targets.
This only adds the argument, and does not update

We've had and clang has used the use-soft-float attribute for some
time now so have the backends set a subtarget feature based on
a particular function now that subtargets are created based on
functions and function attributes.
For the one middle end soft float check go ahead and create
an overloadable TargetLowering::useSoftFloat function that
just checks the TargetSubtargetInfo in all cases.
Also remove the command line option that hard codes whether or
not soft-float is set by using the attribute for all of the

add the attribute in the one case that showed up.

PR22883 was caused the matching operands copying the whole of the operand flags

number as the constraint id. This has been fixed by looking up the matched
operand and taking it from there.

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

Many target cannot perform and/or on the CPU flags and therefore the
right side should be choosen to avoid materializign the i1 flags in an
integer register. If the target can perform this operation efficiently
we normalize to the left form.

Summary:
In PNaCl, most atomic instructions have their own @llvm.nacl.atomic.* function, each one, with a few exceptions, represents a consistent behaviour across all NaCl-supported targets. Unfortunately, the atomic RMW operations nand, [u]min, and [u]max aren't directly represented by any such @llvm.nacl.atomic.* function. This patch refines shouldExpandAtomicRMWInIR in TargetLowering so that a future `Le32TargetLowering` class can selectively inform the caller how the target desires the atomic RMW instruction to be expanded (ie via load-linked/store-conditional for ARM/AArch64, via cmpxchg for X86/others?, or not at all for Mips) if at all.
This does not represent a behavioural change and as such no tests were added.

This lets us avoid a few copies that are otherwise hard to get rid of.
The way this is done is, the custom-inserter looks at the following
instruction for another CMOV, and replaces both at the same time.
A previous version used a new CMOV2 opcode, but the custom inserter
is expected to be able to return a different basic block anyway, which
means it's OK - though far from ideal - to alter that block's contents.
Explicitly document that, in case it ever makes a difference.

The combine that forms extloads used to be disabled on vector types,
because "None of the supported targets knows how to perform load and
sign extend on vectors in one instruction."
That's not entirely true, since at least SSE4.1 X86 knows how to do
those sextloads/zextloads (with PMOVS/ZX).
But there are several aspects to getting this right.
First, vector extloads are controlled by a profitability callback.
For instance, on ARM, several instructions have folded extload forms,
so it's not always beneficial to create an extload node (and trying to
match extloads is a whole 'nother can of worms).
The interesting optimization enables folding of s/zextloads to illegal
(splittable) vector types, expanding them into smaller legal extloads.
It's not ideal (it introduces some legalization-like behavior in the
combine) but it's better than the obvious alternative: form illegal
extloads, and later try to split them up. If you do that, you might
generate extloads that can't be split up, but have a valid ext+load
expansion. At vector-op legalization time, it's too late to generate
this kind of code, so you end up forced to scalarize. It's better to
just avoid creating egregiously illegal nodes.
This optimization is enabled unconditionally on X86.
Note that the splitting combine is happy with "custom" extloads. As
is, this bypasses the actual custom lowering, and just unrolls the
extload. But from what I've seen, this is still much better than the
current custom lowering, which does some kind of unrolling at the end
anyway (see for instance load_sext_4i8_to_4i64 on SSE2, and the added
FIXME).
Also note that the existing combine that forms extloads is now also
enabled on legal vectors. This doesn't have a big effect on X86
(because sext+load is usually combined to sext_inreg+aextload).
On ARM it fires on some rare occasions; that's for a separate commit.

While, generally speaking, the process of lowering arguments for a patchpoint
is the same as lowering a regular indirect call, on some targets it may not be
exactly the same. Targets may not, for example, want to add additional register
dependencies that apply only to making cross-DSO calls through linker stubs,
may not want to load additional registers out of function descriptors, and may
not want to add additional side-effect-causing instructions that cannot be
removed later with the call itself being generated.
The PowerPC target will use this in a future commit (for all of the reasons
stated above).

type (in addition to the memory type).
The *LoadExt* legalization handling used to only have one type, the
memory type. This forced users to assume that as long as the extload
for the memory type was declared legal, and the result type was legal,
the whole extload was legal.
However, this isn't always the case. For instance, on X86, with AVX,
this is legal:
v4i32 load, zext from v4i8
but this isn't:
v4i64 load, zext from v4i8
Whereas v4i64 is (arguably) legal, even without AVX2.
Note that the same thing was done a while ago for truncstores (r46140),
but I assume no one needed it yet for extloads, so here we go.
Calls to getLoadExtAction were changed to add the value type, found
manually in the surrounding code.
Calls to setLoadExtAction were mechanically changed, by wrapping the
call in a loop, to match previous behavior. The loop iterates over
the MVT subrange corresponding to the memory type (FP vectors, etc...).
I also pulled neighboring setTruncStoreActions into some of the loops;
those shouldn't make a difference, as the additional types are illegal.
(e.g., i128->i1 truncstores on PPC.)
No functional change intended.

The existing code provided for specifying a global loop alignment preference.
However, the preferred loop alignment might depend on the loop itself. For
recent POWER cores, loops between 5 and 8 instructions should have 32-byte
alignment (while the others are better with 16-byte alignment) so that the
entire loop will fit in one i-cache line.
To support this, getPrefLoopAlignment has been made virtual, and can be
provided with an optional MachineLoop* so the target can inspect the loop
before answering the query. The default behavior, as before, is to return the
value set with setPrefLoopAlignment. MachineBlockPlacement now queries the
target for each loop instead of only once per function. There should be no
functional change for other targets.

If the control flow is modelling an if-statement where the only instruction in
the 'then' basic block (excluding the terminator) is a call to cttz/ctlz,
CodeGenPrepare can try to speculate the cttz/ctlz call and simplify the control
flow graph.
Example:
\code
entry:
%cmp = icmp eq i64 %val, 0
br i1 %cmp, label %end.bb, label %then.bb
then.bb:
%c = tail call i64 @llvm.cttz.i64(i64 %val, i1 true)
br label %end.bb
end.bb:
%cond = phi i64 [ %c, %then.bb ], [ 64, %entry]
\code
In this example, basic block %then.bb is taken if value %val is not zero.
Also, the phi node in %end.bb would propagate the size-of in bits of %val
only if %val is equal to zero.
With this patch, CodeGenPrepare will try to hoist the call to cttz from %then.bb
into basic block %entry only if cttz is cheap to speculate for the target.
Added two new hooks in TargetLowering.h to let targets customize the behavior
(i.e. decide whether it is cheap or not to speculate calls to cttz/ctlz). The
two new methods are 'isCheapToSpeculateCtlz' and 'isCheapToSpeculateCttz'.
By default, both methods return 'false'.
On X86, method 'isCheapToSpeculateCtlz' returns true only if the target has
LZCNT. Method 'isCheapToSpeculateCttz' only returns true if the target has BMI.

The type promotion helper does not support vector type, so when make
such it does not kick in in such cases.
Original commit message:
[CodeGenPrepare] Move sign/zero extensions near loads using type promotion.
This patch extends the optimization in CodeGenPrepare that moves a sign/zero
extension near a load when the target can combine them. The optimization may
promote any operations between the extension and the load to make that possible.
Although this optimization may be beneficial for all targets, in particular
AArch64, this is enabled for X86 only as I have not benchmarked it for other
targets yet.
** Context **
Most targets feature extended loads, i.e., loads that perform a zero or sign
extension for free. In that context it is interesting to expose such pattern in
CodeGenPrepare so that the instruction selection pass can form such loads.
Sometimes, this pattern is blocked because of instructions between the load and
the extension. When those instructions are promotable to the extended type, we
can expose this pattern.
** Motivating Example **
Let us consider an example:
define void @foo(i8* %addr1, i32* %addr2, i8 %a, i32 %b) {
%ld = load i8* %addr1
%zextld = zext i8 %ld to i32
%ld2 = load i32* %addr2
%add = add nsw i32 %ld2, %zextld
%sextadd = sext i32 %add to i64
%zexta = zext i8 %a to i32
%addza = add nsw i32 %zexta, %zextld
%sextaddza = sext i32 %addza to i64
%addb = add nsw i32 %b, %zextld
%sextaddb = sext i32 %addb to i64
call void @dummy(i64 %sextadd, i64 %sextaddza, i64 %sextaddb)
ret void
}
As it is, this IR generates the following assembly on x86_64:
[...]
movzbl (%rdi), %eax # zero-extended load
movl (%rsi), %es # plain load
addl %eax, %esi # 32-bit add
movslq %esi, %rdi # sign extend the result of add
movzbl %dl, %edx # zero extend the first argument
addl %eax, %edx # 32-bit add
movslq %edx, %rsi # sign extend the result of add
addl %eax, %ecx # 32-bit add
movslq %ecx, %rdx # sign extend the result of add
[...]
The throughput of this sequence is 7.45 cycles on Ivy Bridge according to IACA.
Now, by promoting the additions to form more extended loads we would generate:
[...]
movzbl (%rdi), %eax # zero-extended load
movslq (%rsi), %rdi # sign-extended load
addq %rax, %rdi # 64-bit add
movzbl %dl, %esi # zero extend the first argument
addq %rax, %rsi # 64-bit add
movslq %ecx, %rdx # sign extend the second argument
addq %rax, %rdx # 64-bit add
[...]
The throughput of this sequence is 6.15 cycles on Ivy Bridge according to IACA.
This kind of sequences happen a lot on code using 32-bit indexes on 64-bit
architectures.
Note: The throughput numbers are similar on Sandy Bridge and Haswell.
** Proposed Solution **
To avoid the penalty of all these sign/zero extensions, we merge them in the
loads at the beginning of the chain of computation by promoting all the chain of
computation on the extended type. The promotion is done if and only if we do not
introduce new extensions, i.e., if we do not degrade the code quality.
To achieve this, we extend the existing “move ext to load” optimization with the
promotion mechanism introduced to match larger patterns for addressing mode
(r200947).
The idea of this extension is to perform the following transformation:
ext(promotableInst1(...(promotableInstN(load))))
=>
promotedInst1(...(promotedInstN(ext(load))))
The promotion mechanism in that optimization is enabled by a new TargetLowering
switch, which is off by default. In other words, by default, the optimization
performs the “move ext to load” optimization as it was before this patch.
** Performance **
Configuration: x86_64: Ivy Bridge fixed at 2900MHz running OS X 10.10.
Tested Optimization Levels: O3/Os
Tests: llvm-testsuite + externals.
Results:
- No regression beside noise.
- Improvements:
CINT2006/473.astar: ~2%
Benchmarks/PAQ8p: ~2%
Misc/perlin: ~3%
The results are consistent for both O3 and Os.

** Motivating Example **
Let us consider an example:
define void @foo(i8* %addr1, i32* %addr2, i8 %a, i32 %b) {
%ld = load i8* %addr1
%zextld = zext i8 %ld to i32
%ld2 = load i32* %addr2
%add = add nsw i32 %ld2, %zextld
%sextadd = sext i32 %add to i64
%zexta = zext i8 %a to i32
%addza = add nsw i32 %zexta, %zextld
%sextaddza = sext i32 %addza to i64
%addb = add nsw i32 %b, %zextld
%sextaddb = sext i32 %addb to i64
call void @dummy(i64 %sextadd, i64 %sextaddza, i64 %sextaddb)
ret void
}
As it is, this IR generates the following assembly on x86_64:
[...]
movzbl (%rdi), %eax # zero-extended load
movl (%rsi), %es # plain load
addl %eax, %esi # 32-bit add
movslq %esi, %rdi # sign extend the result of add
movzbl %dl, %edx # zero extend the first argument
addl %eax, %edx # 32-bit add
movslq %edx, %rsi # sign extend the result of add
addl %eax, %ecx # 32-bit add
movslq %ecx, %rdx # sign extend the result of add
[...]
The throughput of this sequence is 7.45 cycles on Ivy Bridge according to IACA.
Now, by promoting the additions to form more extended loads we would generate:
[...]
movzbl (%rdi), %eax # zero-extended load
movslq (%rsi), %rdi # sign-extended load
addq %rax, %rdi # 64-bit add
movzbl %dl, %esi # zero extend the first argument
addq %rax, %rsi # 64-bit add
movslq %ecx, %rdx # sign extend the second argument
addq %rax, %rdx # 64-bit add
[...]
The throughput of this sequence is 6.15 cycles on Ivy Bridge according to IACA.
This kind of sequences happen a lot on code using 32-bit indexes on 64-bit
architectures.
Note: The throughput numbers are similar on Sandy Bridge and Haswell.
** Proposed Solution **
To avoid the penalty of all these sign/zero extensions, we merge them in the
loads at the beginning of the chain of computation by promoting all the chain of
computation on the extended type. The promotion is done if and only if we do not
introduce new extensions, i.e., if we do not degrade the code quality.
To achieve this, we extend the existing “move ext to load” optimization with the
promotion mechanism introduced to match larger patterns for addressing mode
(r200947).
The idea of this extension is to perform the following transformation:
ext(promotableInst1(...(promotableInstN(load))))
=>
promotedInst1(...(promotedInstN(ext(load))))
The promotion mechanism in that optimization is enabled by a new TargetLowering
switch, which is off by default. In other words, by default, the optimization
performs the “move ext to load” optimization as it was before this patch.
** Performance **
Configuration: x86_64: Ivy Bridge fixed at 2900MHz running OS X 10.10.
Tested Optimization Levels: O3/Os
Tests: llvm-testsuite + externals.
Results:
- No regression beside noise.
- Improvements:
CINT2006/473.astar: ~2%
Benchmarks/PAQ8p: ~2%
Misc/perlin: ~3%
The results are consistent for both O3 and Os.

Add an option to disable optimization to shrink truncated larger type
loads to smaller type loads. On SI this prevents using scalar load
instructions in some cases, since there are no scalar extloads.
