The PowerPC backend, somewhat embarrassingly, did not generate an
optimal-length sequence of instructions for a 32-bit bswap. While adding a
pattern for the bswap intrinsic to fix this would not have been terribly
difficult, doing so would not have addressed the real problem: we had been
generating poor code for many bit-permuting operations (by which I mean things
like byte-swap that permute the bits of one or more inputs around in various
ways). Here are some initial steps toward solving this deficiency.
Bit-permuting operations are represented, at the SDAG level, using ISD::ROTL,
SHL, SRL, AND and OR (mostly with constant second operands). Looking back
through these operations, we can build up a description of the bits in the
resulting value in terms of bits of one or more input values (and constant
zeros). For each bit, we compute the rotation amount from the original value,
and then group consecutive (value, rotation factor) bits into groups. Groups
sharing these attributes are then collected and sorted, and we can then
instruction select the entire permutation using a combination of masked
rotations (rlwinm), imm ands (andi/andis), and masked rotation inserts
(rlwimi).
The result is that instead of lowering an i32 bswap as:
rlwinm 5, 3, 24, 16, 23
rlwinm 4, 3, 24, 0, 7
rlwimi 4, 3, 8, 8, 15
rlwimi 5, 3, 8, 24, 31
rlwimi 4, 5, 0, 16, 31
we now produce:
rlwinm 4, 3, 8, 0, 31
rlwimi 4, 3, 24, 16, 23
rlwimi 4, 3, 24, 0, 7
and for the 'test6' example in the PowerPC/README.txt file:
unsigned test6(unsigned x) {
return ((x & 0x00FF0000) >> 16) | ((x & 0x000000FF) << 16);
}
we used to produce:
lis 4, 255
rlwinm 3, 3, 16, 0, 31
ori 4, 4, 255
and 3, 3, 4
and now we produce:
rlwinm 4, 3, 16, 24, 31
rlwimi 4, 3, 16, 8, 15
and, as a nice bonus, this fixes the FIXME in
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/rlwimi-and.ll.
This commit does not include instruction-selection for i64 operations, those
will come later.

If we have an add (or an or that is really an add), where one operand is a
FrameIndex and the other operand is a small constant, we can combine the
lowering of the FrameIndex (which is lowered as an add of the FI and a zero
offset) with the constant operand.
Amusingly, this is an old potential improvement entry from
lib/Target/PowerPC/README.txt which had never been resolved. In short, we used
to lower:
%X = alloca { i32, i32 }
%Y = getelementptr {i32,i32}* %X, i32 0, i32 1
ret i32* %Y
as:
addi 3, 1, -8
ori 3, 3, 4
blr
and now we produce:
addi 3, 1, -4
blr
which is much more sensible.

PowerPC has a conditional branch to the link register (return) instruction: BCLR.
This should be used any time when we'd otherwise have a conditional branch to a
return. This adds a small pass, PPCEarlyReturn, which runs just prior to the
branch selection pass (and, importantly, after block placement) to generate
these conditional returns when possible. It will also eliminate unconditional
branches to returns (these happen rarely; most of the time these have already
been tail duplicated by the time PPCEarlyReturn is invoked). This is a nice
optimization for small functions that do not maintain a stack frame.

As Chris points out, this can now be removed!
TODO: check if the associated section on viterbi's inner loop can also be removed.

"sext cond" instead of a select. This simplifies some instcombine
code, matches the policy for zext (cond ? 1 : 0 -> zext), and allows
us to generate better code for a testcase on ppc.

the code generated is not wonderful. This turns a miscompilation into
a code quality bug (noted in the ppc readme). This fixes PR642, which
is over 2 years old (!). Nate, please review this.

The algorithm it used before wasn't 100% correct, we now use an iterative
expansion model. This fixes assembler errors when compiling 403.gcc with
tail merging enabled.
Change the way the branch selector works overall: Now, the isel generates
PPC::BCC instructions (as it used to) directly, and these BCC instructions
are emitted to the output or jitted directly if branches don't need
expansion. Only if branches need expansion are instructions rewritten
and created. This should make branch select faster, and eliminates the
Bxx instructions from the .td file.

cmpw cr0, r7, r3
ble cr0, LBB1_5 ;bb25
LBB1_8: ;bb17
cmpw cr0, r8, r5
bgt cr0, LBB1_2 ;bb
which is just as good as crnand.
