PowerPC supports pre-increment load/store instructions (except for Altivec/VSX
vector load/stores). Using these on embedded cores can be very important, but
most loops are not naturally set up to use them. We can often change that,
however, by placing loops into a non-canonical form. Generically, this means
transforming loops like this:
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
array[i] = c;
to look like this:
T *p = array[-1];
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
*++p = c;
the key point is that addresses accessed are pulled into dedicated PHIs and
"pre-decremented" in the loop preheader. This allows the use of pre-increment
load/store instructions without loop peeling.
A target-specific late IR-level pass (running post-LSR), PPCLoopPreIncPrep, is
introduced to perform this transformation. I've used this code out-of-tree for
generating code for the PPC A2 for over a year. Somewhat to my surprise,
running the test suite + externals on a P7 with this transformation enabled
showed no performance regressions, and one speedup:
External/SPEC/CINT2006/483.xalancbmk/483.xalancbmk
-2.32514% +/- 1.03736%
So I'm going to enable it on everything for now. I was surprised by this
because, on the POWER cores, these pre-increment load/store instructions are
cracked (and, thus, harder to schedule effectively). But seeing no regressions,
and feeling that it is generally easier to split instructions apart late than
it is to combine them late, this might be the better approach regardless.
In the future, we might want to integrate this functionality into LSR (but
currently LSR does not create new PHI nodes, so (for that and other reasons)
significant work would need to be done).

PowerPC supports pre-increment floating-point load/store instructions, both r+r

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.

The return value's address must be returned in %rax.
i.e. the callee needs to copy the sret argument (%rdi)
into the return value (%rax).
This probably won't manifest as a bug when the caller is LLVM-compiled
code. But it is an ABI guarantee and tools expect it.

We should be setting UnrollingPreferences::MaxCount to MAX_UINT instead
of UnrollingPreferences::Count.
Count is a 'forced unrolling factor', while MaxCount sets an upper
limit to the unrolling factor.
Setting Count to MAX_UINT was causing the loop in the testcase to be
unrolled 15 times, when it only had a maximum of 4 iterations.

The llvm.SI.end.cf intrinsic is used to mark the end of if-then blocks,
if-then-else blocks, and loops. It is responsible for updating the
exec mask to re-enable threads that had been masked during the preceding
control flow block. For example:
s_mov_b64 exec, 0x3 ; Initial exec mask
s_mov_b64 s[0:1], exec ; Saved exec mask
v_cmpx_gt_u32 exec, s[2:3], v0, 0 ; llvm.SI.if
do_stuff()
s_or_b64 exec, exec, s[0:1] ; llvm.SI.end.cf
The bug fixed by this patch was one where the llvm.SI.end.cf intrinsic
was being inserted into the header of loops. This would happen when
an if block terminated in a loop header and we would end up with
code like this:
s_mov_b64 exec, 0x3 ; Initial exec mask
s_mov_b64 s[0:1], exec ; Saved exec mask
v_cmpx_gt_u32 exec, s[2:3], v0, 0 ; llvm.SI.if
do_stuff()
LOOP: ; Start of loop header
s_or_b64 exec, exec, s[0:1] ; llvm.SI.end.cf <-BUG: The exec mask has the
same value at the beginning of each loop
iteration.
do_stuff();
s_cbranch_execnz LOOP
The fix is to create a new basic block before the loop and insert the
llvm.SI.end.cf there. This way the exec mask is restored before the
start of the loop instead of at the beginning of each iteration.

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.

Summary: When evaluating floating point instructions in the inliner, ask the TTI whether it is an expensive operation. By default, it's not an expensive operation. This keeps the default behavior the same as before. The ARM TTI has been updated to return back TCC_Expensive for targets which don't have hardware floating point.

We were previously doing a post-order traversal and operating on the
list in reverse, however this would occasionaly cause backedges for
loops to be visited before some of the other blocks in the loop.
We know use a reverse post-order traversal, which avoids this issue.
The reverse post-order traversal is not completely ideal, so we need
to manually fixup the list to ensure that inner loop backedges are
visited before outer loop backedges.

This associates movss and movsd with the packed single and packed double
execution domains (resp.). While this is largely cosmetic, as we now
don't have weird ping-pong-ing between single and double precision, it
is also useful because it avoids the domain fixing algorithm from seeing
domain breaks that don't actually exist. It will also be much more
important if we have an execution domain default other than packed
single, as that would cause us to mix movss and movsd with integer
vector code on a regular basis, a very bad mixture.

This is the simplest form of bit-math based blending which only fires
when we are blending with zero and is relatively profitable. I've only
enabled this path on very specific lowering strategies. I'm planning to
widen its applicability in subsequent patches, but so far you'll notice
that even though we get fewer shufps instructions, we *still* do the bit
math in the FP execution port. I'm looking into why this is still
happening.

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
