This adds support for the QPX vector instruction set, which is used by the
enhanced A2 cores on the IBM BG/Q supercomputers. QPX vectors are 256 bytes
wide, holding 4 double-precision floating-point values. Boolean values, modeled
here as <4 x i1> are actually also represented as floating-point values
(essentially { -1, 1 } for { false, true }). QPX shares many features with
Altivec and VSX, but is distinct from both of them. One major difference is
that, instead of adding completely-separate vector registers, QPX vector
registers are extensions of the scalar floating-point registers (lane 0 is the
corresponding scalar floating-point value). The operations supported on QPX
vectors mirrors that supported on the scalar floating-point values (with some
additional ones for permutations and logical/comparison operations).
I've been maintaining this support out-of-tree, as part of the bgclang project,
for several years. This is not the entire bgclang patch set, but is most of the
subset that can be cleanly integrated into LLVM proper at this time. Adding
this to the LLVM backend is part of my efforts to rebase bgclang to the current
LLVM trunk, but is independently useful (especially for codes that use LLVM as
a JIT in library form).
The assembler/disassembler test coverage is complete. The CodeGen test coverage
is not, but I've included some tests, and more will be added as follow-up work.

I increased the AddedComplexity for these instructions to 500 to ensure they are generated instead of issuing other VSX instructions.

Patch by Kit Barton.
Add the vector count leading zeros instruction for byte, halfword,
word, and doubleword sizes. This is a fairly straightforward addition
after the changes made for vpopcnt:
1. Add the correct definitions for the various instructions in
PPCInstrAltivec.td
2. Make the CTLZ operation legal on vector types when using P8Altivec
in PPCISelLowering.cpp
Test Plan
Created new test case in test/CodeGen/PowerPC/vec_clz.ll to check the
instructions are being generated when the CTLZ operation is used in
LLVM.
Check the encoding and decoding in test/MC/PowerPC/ppc_encoding_vmx.s
and test/Disassembler/PowerPC/ppc_encoding_vmx.txt respectively.

Patch by Kit Barton.
Add the vector population count instructions for byte, halfword, word,
and doubleword sizes. There are two major changes here:
PPCISelLowering.cpp: Make CTPOP legal for vector types.
PPCRegisterInfo.td: Added v2i64 to the VRRC register
definition. This is needed for the doubleword variations of the
integer ops that were added in P8.
Test Plan
Test the instruction vpcnt* encoding/decoding in ppc64-encoding-vmx.s
Test the generation of the vpopcnt instructions for various vector
data types. When adding the v2i64 type to the Vector Register set, I
also needed to add the appropriate bit conversion patterns between
v2i64 and the existing vector types. Testing for these conversions
were also added in the test case by passing a different vector type as
a parameter into the test functions. There is also a run step that
will ensure the vpopcnt instructions are generated when the vsx
feature is disabled.

Fill out our support for the floating-point status and control register
instructions (mcrfs and friends). As it turns out, these are necessary for
compiling src/test/harness_fp.h in TBB for PowerPC.

Newer POWER cores, and the A2, support the cmpb instruction. This instruction
compares its operands, treating each of the 8 bytes in the GPRs separately,
returning a 'mask' result of 0 (for false) or -1 (for true) in each byte.
Code generation support is added, in the form of a PPCISelDAGToDAG
DAG-preprocessing routine, that recognizes patterns close to what the
instruction computes (either exactly, or related by a constant masking
operation), and generates the cmpb instruction (along with any necessary
constant masking operation). This can be expanded if use cases arise.

Add assembler support for the fixed-point cache-inhibited load/store
instructions. These are hypervisor-level only, so don't get too excited ;)

The attn instruction is not part of the Power ISA, but is documented in the A2
user manual, and is accepted by the GNU assembler for the A2 and the POWER4+.

Adds code generation support for dcbtst (data cache prefetch for write) and
icbt (instruction cache prefetch for read - Book E cores only).
We still end up with a 'cannot select' error for the non-supported prefetch
intrinsic forms. This will be fixed in a later commit.
Fixes PR20692.

when let can do the same thing. Keep the 64bit variants as codegen-only.
While they have a different register class, the encoding is the same for
32bit and 64bit mode. Having both present would otherwise confuse the
disassembler.

VSX is an ISA extension supported on the POWER7 and later cores that enhances
floating-point vector and scalar capabilities. Among other things, this adds
<2 x double> support and generally helps to reduce register pressure.
The interesting part of this ISA feature is the register configuration: there
are 64 new 128-bit vector registers, the 32 of which are super-registers of the
existing 32 scalar floating-point registers, and the second 32 of which overlap
with the 32 Altivec vector registers. This makes things like vector insertion
and extraction tricky: this can be free but only if we force a restriction to
the right register subclass when needed. A new "minipass" PPCVSXCopy takes care
of this (although it could do a more-optimal job of it; see the comment about
unnecessary copies below).
Please note that, currently, VSX is not enabled by default when targeting
anything because it is not yet ready for that. The assembler and disassembler
are fully implemented and tested. However:
- CodeGen support causes miscompiles; test-suite runtime failures:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/distray/distray
MultiSource/Benchmarks/McCat/08-main/main
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Olden/voronoi/voronoi
MultiSource/Benchmarks/mafft/pairlocalalign
MultiSource/Benchmarks/tramp3d-v4/tramp3d-v4
SingleSource/Benchmarks/CoyoteBench/almabench
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/matmul_f64_4x4
- The lowering currently falls back to using Altivec instructions far more
than it should. Worse, there are some things that are scalarized through the
stack that shouldn't be.
- A lot of unnecessary copies make it past the optimizers, and this needs to
be fixed.
- Many more regression tests are needed.
Normally, I'd fix these things prior to committing, but there are some
students and other contributors who would like to work this, and so it makes
sense to move this development process upstream where it can be subject to the
regular code-review procedures.

The tests for the disassembler were adapted from the encoder tests, and for the
most part, the output from the disassembler matches that encoder-test inputs.
There are some places where more-informative mnemonics could be produced
(notably for the branch instructions), and those cases are noted in the tests
with FIXMEs.
Future work includes:
- Generating more-informative mnemonics when possible (this may also be done
in the printer).
- Remove the dependence on positional "numbered" operand-to-variable mapping
(for both encoding and decoding).
- Internally using 64-bit instruction variants in 64-bit mode (if this turns
out to matter).
