This patch: 1) Improves the cost model for x86 alternate shuffles (originally added at revision 211339); 2) Teaches the Cost Model Analysis pass how to analyze alternate shuffles. Alternate shuffles are a special kind of blend; on x86, we can often easily lowered alternate shuffled into single blend instruction (depending on the subtarget features). The existing cost model didn't take into account subtarget features. Also, it had a couple of "dead" entries for vector types that are never legal (example: on x86 types v2i32 and v2f32 are not legal; those are always either promoted or widened to 128-bit vector types). The new x86 cost model takes into account what target features we have before returning the shuffle cost (i.e. the number of instructions after the blend is lowered/expanded). This patch also teaches the Cost Model Analysis how to identify and analyze alternate shuffles (i.e. 'SK_Alternate' shufflevector instructions): - added function 'isAlternateVectorMask'; - added some logic to check if an instruction is a alternate shuffle and, in case, call the target specific TTI to get the corresponding shuffle cost; - added a test to verify the cost model analysis on alternate shuffles. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@212296 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
