Older Book-E cores, such as the PPC 440, support only msync (which has the same
encoding as sync 0), but not any of the other sync forms. Newer Book-E cores,
however, do support sync, and for performance reasons we should allow the use
of the more-general form.
This refactors msync use into its own feature group so that it applies by
default only to older Book-E cores (of the relevant cores, we only have
definitions for the PPC440/450 currently).

Summary:
Atomic loads and store of up to the native size (32 bits, or 64 for PPC64)
can be lowered to a simple load or store instruction (as the synchronization
is already handled by AtomicExpand, and the atomicity is guaranteed thanks to
the alignment requirements of atomic accesses). This is exactly what this patch
does. Previously, these were implemented by complex
load-linked/store-conditional loops.. an obvious performance problem.
For example, this patch turns
```
define void @store_i8_unordered(i8* %mem) {
store atomic i8 42, i8* %mem unordered, align 1
ret void
}
```
from

argument of the llvm.dbg.declare/llvm.dbg.value intrinsics.
Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.
The new intrinsics look like this:
declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect

This is purely refactoring. No functional changes intended. PowerPC is the only target
that is currently using this interface.
The ultimate goal is to allow targets other than PowerPC (certainly X86 and Aarch64) to turn this:
z = y / sqrt(x)
into:
z = y * rsqrte(x)
And:
z = y / x
into:
z = y * rcpe(x)
using whatever HW magic they can use. See http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20900 .
There is one hook in TargetLowering to get the target-specific opcode for an estimate instruction
along with the number of refinement steps needed to make the estimate usable.

This patch makes use of AtomicExpandPass in Power for inserting fences around
atomic as part of an effort to remove fence insertion from SelectionDAGBuilder.
As a big bonus, it lets us use sync 1 (lightweight sync, often used by the mnemonic
lwsync) instead of sync 0 (heavyweight sync) in many cases.
I also added a test, as there was no test for the barriers emitted by the Power

The heuristic used by DAGCombine to form FMAs checks that the FMUL has only one
use, but this is overly-conservative on some systems. Specifically, if the FMA
and the FADD have the same latency (and the FMA does not compete for resources
with the FMUL any more than the FADD does), there is no need for the
restriction, and furthermore, forming the FMA leaving the FMUL can still allow
for higher overall throughput and decreased critical-path length.
Here we add a new TLI callback, enableAggressiveFMAFusion, false by default, to
elide the hasOneUse check. This is enabled for PowerPC by default, as most
PowerPC systems will benefit.

For PPC targets, FastISel does not take the sign extension information into account when selecting return instructions whose operands are constants. A consequence of this is that the return of boolean values is not correct. This patch fixes the problem by evaluating the sign extension information also for constants, forwarding this information to PPCMaterializeInt which takes this information to drive the sign extension during the materialization.

On MachO, and MachO only, we cannot have a truly empty function since that
breaks the linker logic for atomizing the section.
When we are emitting a frame pointer, the presence of an unreachable will
create a cfi instruction pointing past the last instruction. This is perfectly
fine. The FDE information encodes the pc range it applies to. If some tool
cannot handle this, we should explicitly say which bug we are working around
and only work around it when it is actually relevant (not for ELF for example).
Given the unreachable we could omit the .cfi_def_cfa_register, but then
again, we could also omit the entire function prologue if we wanted to.

Inline asm may specify 'U' and 'X' constraints to print a 'u' for an
update-form memory reference, or an 'x' for an indexed-form memory
reference. However, these are really only useful in GCC internal code
generation. In inline asm the operand of the memory constraint is
typically just a register containing the address, so 'U' and 'X' make
no sense.
This patch quietly accepts 'U' and 'X' in inline asm patterns, but
otherwise does nothing. If we ever unexpectedly see a non-register,
we'll assert and sort it out afterwards.
I've added a new test for these constraints; the test case should be
used for other asm-constraints changes down the road.

When I recommitted r208640 (in r216898) I added an exclusion for TargetConstant
offsets, as there is no guarantee that a backend can handle them on generic
ADDs (even if it generates them during address-mode matching) -- and,
specifically, applying this transformation directly with TargetConstants caused
a self-hosting failure on PPC64. Ignoring all TargetConstants, however, is less
than ideal. Instead, for non-opaque constants, we can convert them into regular
constants for use with the generated ADD (or SUB).

Original commit message:
This changes the order in which FastISel tries to materialize a constant.
Originally it would try to use a simple target-independent approach, which
can lead to the generation of inefficient code.
On X86 this would result in the use of movabsq to materialize any 64bit
integer constant - even for simple and small values such as 0 and 1. Also
some very funny floating-point materialization could be observed too.
On AArch64 it would materialize the constant 0 in a register even the
architecture has an actual "zero" register.
On ARM it would generate unnecessary mov instructions or not use mvn.
This change simply changes the order and always asks the target first if it
likes to materialize the constant. This doesn't fix all the issues
mentioned above, but it enables the targets to implement such
optimizations.

This implements PPCTargetLowering::getTgtMemIntrinsic for Altivec load/store
intrinsics. As with the construction of the MachineMemOperands for the
intrinsic calls used for unaligned load/store lowering, the only slight
complication is that we need to represent a larger memory range than the
loaded/stored value-type size (because the address is rounded down to an
aligned address, and we need to conservatively represent the entire possible
range of the actual access). This required adding an extra size field to
TargetLowering::IntrinsicInfo, and this was done in a way that required no
modifications to other targets (the size defaults to the store size of the
provided memory data type).
This fixes test/CodeGen/PowerPC/unal-altivec-wint.ll (so it can be un-XFAILed).

Unfortunately, our use of the SDNode class hierarchy for INTRINSIC_W_CHAIN and
INTRINSIC_VOID nodes is somewhat broken right now. These nodes sometimes are
used for memory intrinsics (those with MachineMemOperands), and sometimes not.
When not, the nodes are not created as instances of MemIntrinsicSDNode, but
rather created as some other subclass of SDNode using DAG::getNode. When they
are memory intrinsics, they are created using DAG::getMemIntrinsicNode as
instances of MemIntrinsicSDNode. MemIntrinsicSDNode is a subclass of
MemSDNode, but prior to r214452, we had a non-self-consistent setup whereby
MemIntrinsicSDNode::classof on INTRINSIC_W_CHAIN and INTRINSIC_VOID would
return true but MemSDNode::classof on INTRINSIC_W_CHAIN and INTRINSIC_VOID
would return false. In r214452, MemSDNode::classof was changed to return true
for INTRINSIC_W_CHAIN and INTRINSIC_VOID, which is now self-consistent. The
problem is that neither the pre-r214452 logic and the post-r214452 logic are
really right. The truth is that not all INTRINSIC_W_CHAIN and INTRINSIC_VOID
nodes are instances of MemIntrinsicSDNode (or MemSDNode for that matter), and
the return value from classof needs to reflect that. This was broken before
r214452 (because MemIntrinsicSDNode::classof always returned true), and was
broken afterward (because MemSDNode::classof also always returned true), and
will now be correct.
The minimal solution is to grab one of the SubclassData bits (there is one left
for MemIntrinsicSDNode nodes) and use it to store whether or not a particular
INTRINSIC_W_CHAIN or INTRINSIC_VOID is really an instance of
MemIntrinsicSDNode or not. Doing this allows both MemIntrinsicSDNode::classof
and MemSDNode::classof to return the correct answer for the underlying object
for both the memory-intrinsic and non-memory-intrinsic cases.
This fixes the problem that r214452 created in the SelectionDAGDumper (thanks
to Matt Arsenault for pointing it out).
Because PowerPC does not implement getTgtMemIntrinsic, this change breaks

This patch refactors code generation of vector comparisons.
This fixes a wrong code-gen bug for ISD::SETGE for floating-point types,
and improves generated code for vector comparisons in general.
Specifically, the patch moves all logic deciding how to implement vector
comparisons into getVCmpInst, which gets two extra boolean outputs
indicating to its caller whether its needs to swap the input operands
and/or negate the result of the comparison. Apart from implementing
these two modifications as directed by getVCmpInst, there is no need
to ever implement vector comparisons in any other manner; in particular,
there is never a need to perform two separate comparisons (e.g. one for
equal and one for greater-than, as code used to do before this patch).

When generating unaligned vector loads, we need to search for other loads or
stores nearby offset by one vector width. If we find one, then we know that we
can safely generate another aligned load at that address. Otherwise, we must
generate the next load using an offset of the vector width minus one byte (so
we don't read off the end of the allocation if the base unaligned address
happened to be aligned at runtime). We had previously done this using only
other vector loads and stores, but did not consider the PowerPC-specific vector
load/store intrinsics. Now we'll also consider vector intrinsics. By itself,
this change is a feature enhancement, but is a necessary step toward fixing the

This is a follow-up to the activity in the bug at
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=18663 . The underlying issue has
to do with how the KILL pseudo-instruction is handled. I defer to
Hal/Jakob/Uli for additional details and background.
This will disable the (bad?) assert, add an associated fixme comment,
and add a pair of tests.
The code change and the pr18663-2.ll test are copied from the referenced
bug. That test does not immediately fail in my environment, but I have
added the pr18663.ll test which does.
(Comment from Hal)
to provide everyone else with some context, this assert was not bad when
it was written. At that time, we only generated KILL pseudo instructions
around subregister copies. This logic, unfortunately, had its own problems.
In r199797, the relevant logic in MachineCopyPropagation was replaced to
generate KILLs for other kinds of copies too. This change in semantics broke
this now-problematic assumption in AggressiveAntiDepBreaker. The
AggressiveAntiDepBreaker really needs a proper cleanup to deal with the
change, but removing the assert (which just allows the function to return
false) is a safe conservative behavior, and should do for the time being.

Because the PowerPC vmrgh* and vmrgl* instructions have a built-in
big-endian bias, it is necessary to swap their inputs in little-endian
mode when using them to implement a vector shuffle. This was
previously missed in the vector LE implementation.
There was already logic to distinguish between unary and "normal"
vmrg* vector shuffles, so this patch extends that logic to use a third
option: "swapped" vmrg* vector shuffles that are used for little
endian in place of the "normal" ones.
I've updated the vec-shuffle-le.ll test to check for the expected
register ordering on the generated instructions.
This bug was discovered when testing the LE and ELFv2 patches for
safety if they were backported to 3.4. A different vectorization
decision was made in 3.4 than on mainline trunk, and that exposed the
problem. I've verified this fix takes care of that issue.

The old behavior could cause arbitrarily bad memory usage in the DAG
combiner if there was heavy traffic of adding nodes already on the
worklist to it. This commit switches the DAG combine worklist to work
the same way as the instcombine worklist where we null-out removed
entries and only add new entries to the worklist. My measurements of
codegen time shows slight improvement. The memory utilization is
unsurprisingly dominated by other factors (the IR and DAG itself
I suspect).
This change results in subtle, frustrating churn in the particular order
in which DAG combines are applied which causes a number of minor
regressions where we fail to match a pattern previously matched by
accident. AFAICT, all of these should be using AddToWorklist to directly
or should be written in a less brittle way. None of the changes seem
drastically bad, and a few of the changes seem distinctly better.
A major change required to make this work is to significantly harden the
way in which the DAG combiner handle nodes which become dead
(zero-uses). Previously, we relied on the ability to "priority-bump"
them on the combine worklist to achieve recursive deletion of these
nodes and ensure that the frontier of remaining live nodes all were
added to the worklist. Instead, I've introduced a routine to just
implement that precise logic with no indirection. It is a significantly
simpler operation than that of the combiner worklist proper. I suspect
this will also fix some other problems with the combiner.
I think the x86 changes are really minor and uninteresting, but the
avx512 change at least is hiding a "regression" (despite the test case
being just noise, not testing some performance invariant) that might be
looked into. Not sure if any of the others impact specific "important"
code paths, but they didn't look terribly interesting to me, or the
changes were really minor. The consensus in review is to fix any
regressions that show up after the fact here.
Thanks to the other reviewers for checking the output on other
architectures. There is a specific regression on ARM that Tim already
has a fix prepped to commit.

This patch adds infrastructure support for passing array types
directly. These can be used by the front-end to pass aggregate
types (coerced to an appropriate array type). The details of the
array type being used inform the back-end about ABI-relevant
properties. Specifically, the array element type encodes:
- whether the parameter should be passed in FPRs, VRs, or just
GPRs/stack slots (for float / vector / integer element types,
respectively)
- what the alignment requirements of the parameter are when passed in
GPRs/stack slots (8 for float / 16 for vector / the element type
size for integer element types) -- this corresponds to the
"byval align" field
Using the infrastructure provided by this patch, a companion patch
to clang will enable two features:
- In the ELFv2 ABI, pass (and return) "homogeneous" floating-point
or vector aggregates in FPRs and VRs (this is similar to the ARM
homogeneous aggregate ABI)
- As an optimization for both ELFv1 and ELFv2 ABIs, pass aggregates
that fit fully in registers without using the "byval" mechanism
The patch uses the functionArgumentNeedsConsecutiveRegisters callback
to encode that special treatment is required for all directly-passed
array types. The isInConsecutiveRegs / isInConsecutiveRegsLast bits set
as a results are then used to implement the required size and alignment
rules in CalculateStackSlotSize / CalculateStackSlotAlignment etc.
As a related change, the ABI routines have to be modified to support
passing floating-point types in GPRs. This is necessary because with
homogeneous aggregates of 4-byte float type we can now run out of FPRs
*before* we run out of the 64-byte argument save area that is shadowed
by GPRs. Any extra floating-point arguments that no longer fit in FPRs
must now be passed in GPRs until we run out of those too.
Note that there was already code to pass floating-point arguments in
GPRs used with vararg parameters, which was done by writing the argument
out to the argument save area first and then reloading into GPRs. The
patch re-implements this, however, in favor of code packing float arguments
directly via extension/truncation, BITCAST, and BUILD_PAIR operations.
This is required to support the ELFv2 ABI, since we cannot unconditionally
write to the argument save area (which the caller might not have allocated).
The change does, however, affect ELFv1 varags routines too; but even here
the overall effect should be advantageous: Instead of loading the argument
into the FPR, then storing the argument to the stack slot, and finally
reloading the argument from the stack slot into a GPR, the new code now
just loads the argument into the FPR, and subsequently loads the argument
into the GPR (via BITCAST). That BITCAST might imply a save/reload from
a stack temporary (in which case we're no worse than before); but it
might be implemented more efficiently in some cases.
The final part of the patch enables up to 8 FPRs and VRs for argument
return in PPCCallingConv.td; this is required to support returning
ELFv2 homogeneous aggregates. (Note that this doesn't affect other ABIs
since LLVM wil only look for which register to use if the parameter is
marked as "direct" return anyway.)

This is a minor improvement in the ELFv2 ABI. In ELFv1, DWARF CFI
would represent a saved CR word (holding CR fields CR2, CR3, and CR4)
using just a single CFI record refering to CR2. In ELFv2 instead,
each of the CR fields is represented by its own CFI record. The
advantage is that the compiler can now chose to save just a single
(or two) CR fields instead of all of them, if those are the only ones
that actually need saving. That can lead to more efficient code using
mf(o)crf instead of the (slow) mfcr instruction.
Note that this patch does not (yet) implement this more efficient
code generation, but it does implement the part that is required to
be ABI compliant: creating multiple CFI records if multiple CR fields
are saved.

The ELFv2 ABI reduces the amount of stack required to implement an
ABI-compliant function call in two ways:
* the "linkage area" is reduced from 48 bytes to 32 bytes by
eliminating two unused doublewords
* the 64-byte "parameter save area" is now optional and need not be
present in certain cases (it remains mandatory in functions with
variable arguments, and functions that have any parameter that is
passed on the stack)
The following patch implements this required changes:
- reducing the linkage area, and associated relocation of the TOC save
slot, in getLinkageSize / getTOCSaveOffset (this requires updating all
callers of these routines to pass in the isELFv2ABI flag).
- (partially) handling the case where the parameter save are is optional
This latter part requires some extra explanation: Currently, we still
always allocate the parameter save area when *calling* a function.
That is certainly always compliant with the ABI, but may cause code to
allocate stack unnecessarily. This can be addressed by a follow-on
optimization patch.
On the *callee* side, in LowerFormalArguments, we *must* track
correctly whether the ABI guarantees that the caller has allocated
the parameter save area for our use, and the patch does so. However,
there is one complication: the code that handles incoming "byval"
arguments will currently *always* write to the parameter save area,
because it has to force incoming register arguments to the stack since
it must return an *address* to implement the byval semantics.
To fix this, the patch changes the LowerFormalArguments code to write
arguments to a freshly allocated stack slot on the function's own stack
frame instead of the argument save area in those cases where that area
is not present.

This patch builds upon the two preceding MC changes to implement the
basic ELFv2 function call convention. In the ELFv1 ABI, a "function
descriptor" was associated with every function, pointing to both the
entry address and the related TOC base (and a static chain pointer
for nested functions). Function pointers would actually refer to that
descriptor, and the indirect call sequence needed to load up both entry
address and TOC base.
In the ELFv2 ABI, there are no more function descriptors, and function
pointers simply refer to the (global) entry point of the function code.
Indirect function calls simply branch to that address, after loading it
up into r12 (as required by the ABI rules for a global entry point).
Direct function calls continue to just do a "bl" to the target symbol;
this will be resolved by the linker to the local entry point of the
target function if it is local, and to a PLT stub if it is global.
That PLT stub would then load the (global) entry point address of the
final target into r12 and branch to it. Note that when performing a
local function call, r2 must be set up to point to the current TOC
base: if the target ends up local, the ABI requires that its local
entry point is called with r2 set up; if the target ends up global,
the PLT stub requires that r2 is set up.
This patch implements all LLVM changes to implement that scheme:
- No longer create a function descriptor when emitting a function
definition (in EmitFunctionEntryLabel)
- Emit two entry points *if* the function needs the TOC base (r2)
anywhere (this is done EmitFunctionBodyStart; note that this cannot
be done in EmitFunctionBodyStart because the global entry point
prologue code must be *part* of the function as covered by debug info).
- In order to make use tracking of r2 (as needed above) work correctly,
mark direct function calls as implicitly using r2.
- Implement the ELFv2 indirect function call sequence (no function
descriptors; load target address into r12).
- When creating an ELFv2 object file, emit the .abiversion 2 directive
to tell the linker to create the appropriate version of PLT stubs.
