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.

There are currently two schemes for mapping instruction operands to
instruction-format variables for generating the instruction encoders and
decoders for the assembler and disassembler respectively: a) to map by name and
b) to map by position.
In the long run, we'd like to remove the position-based scheme and use only
name-based mapping. Unfortunately, the name-based scheme currently cannot deal
with complex operands (those with suboperands), and so we currently must use
the position-based scheme for those. On the other hand, the position-based
scheme cannot deal with (register) variables that are split into multiple
ranges. An upcoming commit to the PowerPC backend (adding VSX support) will
require this capability. While we could teach the position-based scheme to
handle that, since we'd like to move away from the position-based mapping
generally, it seems silly to teach it new tricks now. What makes more sense is
to allow for partial transitioning: use the name-based mapping when possible,
and only use the position-based scheme when necessary.
Now the problem is that mixing the two sensibly was not possible: the
position-based mapping would map based on position, but would not skip those
variables that were mapped by name. Instead, the two sets of assignments would
overlap. However, I cannot currently change the current behavior, because there
are some backends that rely on it [I think mistakenly, but I'll send a message
to llvmdev about that]. So I've added a new TableGen bit variable:
noNamedPositionallyEncodedOperands, that can be used to cause the
position-based mapping to skip variables mapped by name.

Support to the IAS was added to actually parse and handle the complex SO
expressions. However, the object file lowering was not updated to compensate
for the fact that the shift operand may be an absolute expression.
When trying to assemble to an object file, the lowering would fail while
succeeding when emitting purely assembly. Add an appropriate test.
The test case is inspired by the test case provided by Jiangning Liu who also
brought the issue to light.

I personally build with these settings enabled all the time, and it
is clearer to see the actual warning flags (e.g., -Wuninitialized)
get passed by Xcode rather than seeing -Wno-uninitialized followed
by -Wall (the latter canceling out the former) and figuring out
what is going on.
Xcode will ignore build settings it doesn't understand, so this will
work on possibly older versions of Xcode that don't support all
of these settings.

for use with C++11 range-based for-loops.
The gist of phase 1 is to remove the skipInstruction() and skipBundle()
methods from these iterators, instead splitting each iterator into a version
that walks operands, a version that walks instructions, and a version that
walks bundles. This has the result of making some "clever" loops in lib/CodeGen
more verbose, but also makes their iterator invalidation characteristics much
more obvious to the casual reader. (Making them concise again in the future is a
good motivating case for a pre-incrementing range adapter!)
Phase 2 of this undertaking with consist of removing the getOperand() method,
and changing operator*() of the operand-walker to return a MachineOperand&. At
that point, it should be possible to add range views for them that work as one
might expect.

As an example that was not actually being used, it suffered from a slow bitrot.
The two main issues with it were that it had no cmake support and
included a copy of the autoconf directory. The reality is that
autoconf is not easily composable. The lack of composabilty is why we
have clang options in llvm's configure. Suggesting that users include
a copy of autoconf/ in their projects seems a bad idea.
We are also in the process of switching to cmake, so pushing autoconf
to new project is probably not what we want.

This makes the mapping consistent with other CU->X mappings in the
MCContext, helping pave the way to refactor all these values into a
single data structure per CU and thus a single map.
I haven't renamed the data structure as that would make the patch churn
even higher (the MCLineSection name no longer makes sense, as this
structure now contains lines for multiple sections covered by a single
CU, rather than lines for a single section in multiple CUs) and further
refactorings will follow that may remove this type entirely.
For convenience, I also gave the MCLineSection value semantics so we
didn't have to do the lazy construction, manual delete, etc.
(& for those playing at home, refactoring the line printing into a
single data structure will eventually alow that data structure to be
reused to own the debug_line.dwo line table used for type unit file name
resolution)

Chandler voiced some concern with checking this in without some

Extend what's currently done for shift because the HW performs this masking
implicitly:
(rotl:i32 x, (and y, 31)) -> (rotl:i32 x, y)
I use the newly factored out multiclass that was only supporting shifts so
far.
For testing I extended my testcase for the new rotation idiom.

On ELF and COFF an alias is just another name for a position in the file.
There is no way to refer to a position in another file, so an alias to
undefined is meaningless.
MachO currently doesn't support aliases. The spec has a N_INDR, which when
implemented will have a different set of restrictions. Adding support for
it shouldn't be harder than any other IR extension.
For now, having the IR represent what is actually possible with current
tools makes it easier to fix the design of GlobalAlias.

This replaces the llvm-profdata tool with a version that uses the
recently introduced Profile library. The new tool has the ability to
generate and summarize profdata files as well as merging them.

This provides a library to work with the instrumentation based
profiling format that is used by clang's -fprofile-instr-* options and
by the llvm-profdata tool. This is a binary format, rather than the
textual one that's currently in use.
The tests are in the subsequent commits that use this.

This allows us to generate table lookups for code such as:
unsigned test(unsigned x) {
switch (x) {
case 100: return 0;
case 101: return 1;
case 103: return 2;
case 105: return 3;
case 107: return 4;
case 109: return 5;
case 110: return 6;
default: return f(x);
}
}
Since cases 102, 104, etc. are not constants, the lookup table has holes
in those positions. We therefore guard the table lookup with a bitmask check.

The peephole (shift x, (and y, 31)) -> (shift x, y) is repeated for each
integer type and each shift variant.
To improve this a new multiclass is added that covers all integer types. The
shift patterns are now instantiated from this. I am planning to add new
instances for rotates as well.
No functional change intended:
* test/CodeGen/X86/shift-and.ll provides coverage
* Compared the expanded tablegen output and matched up the defs for these
Pat<>s before and after
