if it can be implemented in 3 or fewer discrete altivec instructions, codegen it as such. This implements Regression/CodeGen/PowerPC/vec_perf_shuffle.ll git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@27748 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

//===- README_ALTIVEC.txt - Notes for improving Altivec code gen ----------===//

Implement PPCInstrInfo::isLoadFromStackSlot/isStoreToStackSlot for vector
|
|
registers, to generate better spill code.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|

|
Altivec support. The first should be a single lvx from the constant pool, the
|
|
second should be a xor/stvx:
|
|
|
|
void foo(void) {
|
|
int x[8] __attribute__((aligned(128))) = { 1, 1, 1, 17, 1, 1, 1, 1 };
|
|
bar (x);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
#include <string.h>
|
|
void foo(void) {
|
|
int x[8] __attribute__((aligned(128)));
|
|
memset (x, 0, sizeof (x));
|
|
bar (x);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
Altivec: Codegen'ing MUL with vector FMADD should add -0.0, not 0.0:
|
|
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8763
|
|
|
|
When -ffast-math is on, we can use 0.0.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
Consider this:
|
|
v4f32 Vector;
|
|
v4f32 Vector2 = { Vector.X, Vector.X, Vector.X, Vector.X };
|
|
|
|
Since we know that "Vector" is 16-byte aligned and we know the element offset
|
|
of ".X", we should change the load into a lve*x instruction, instead of doing
|
|
a load/store/lve*x sequence.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
There are a wide range of vector constants we can generate with combinations of
|
|
altivec instructions.
|
|
|
|
Examples, these work with all widths:
|
|
Splat(+/- 16,18,20,22,24,28,30): t = vspliti I/2, r = t+t
|
|
Splat(+/- 17,19,21,23,25,29): t = vsplti +/-15, t2 = vsplti I-15, r=t + t2
|
|
Splat(31): t = vsplti FB, r = srl t,t
|
|
Splat(256): t = vsplti 1, r = vsldoi t, t, 1
|
|
|
|
Lots more are listed here:

|
|
|
|
This should be added to the ISD::BUILD_VECTOR case in
|
|
PPCTargetLowering::LowerOperation.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
FABS/FNEG can be codegen'd with the appropriate and/xor of -0.0.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
For functions that use altivec AND have calls, we are VRSAVE'ing all call
|
|
clobbered regs.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
Implement passing vectors by value.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

GCC apparently tries to codegen { C1, C2, Variable, C3 } as a constant pool load
|
|
of C1/C2/C3, then a load and vperm of Variable.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
We currently codegen SCALAR_TO_VECTOR as a store of the scalar to a 16-byte
|
|
aligned stack slot, followed by a load/vperm. We should probably just store it
|
|
to a scalar stack slot, then use lvsl/vperm to load it. If the value is already
|
|
in memory, this is a huge win.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
Do not generate the MFCR/RLWINM sequence for predicate compares when the
|
|
predicate compare is used immediately by a branch. Just branch on the right
|
|
cond code on CR6.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
We need a way to teach tblgen that some operands of an intrinsic are required to
|
|
be constants. The verifier should enforce this constraint.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
Implement multiply for vector integer types, to avoid the horrible scalarized
|
|
code produced by legalize.
|
|
|
|
void test(vector int *X, vector int *Y) {
|
|
*X = *X * *Y;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
extract_vector_elt of an arbitrary constant vector can be done with the
|
|
following instructions:
|
|
|
|
vTemp = vec_splat(v0,2); // 2 is the element the src is in.
|
|
vec_ste(&destloc,0,vTemp);
|
|
|
|
We can do an arbitrary non-constant value by using lvsr/perm/ste.
