This changes the definition of t2DoLoopStart from
t2DoLoopStart rGPR
to
GPRlr = t2DoLoopStart rGPR
This will hopefully mean that low overhead loops are more tied together,
and we can more reliably generate loops without reverting or being at
the whims of the register allocator.
This is a fairly simple change in itself, but leads to a number of other
required alterations.
- The hardware loop pass, if UsePhi is set, now generates loops of the
form:
%start = llvm.start.loop.iterations(%N)
loop:
%p = phi [%start], [%dec]
%dec = llvm.loop.decrement.reg(%p, 1)
%c = icmp ne %dec, 0
br %c, loop, exit
- For this a new llvm.start.loop.iterations intrinsic was added, identical
to llvm.set.loop.iterations but produces a value as seen above, gluing
the loop together more through def-use chains.
- This new instrinsic conceptually produces the same output as input,
which is taught to SCEV so that the checks in MVETailPredication are not
affected.
- Some minor changes are needed to the ARMLowOverheadLoop pass, but it has
been left mostly as before. We should now more reliably be able to tell
that the t2DoLoopStart is correct without having to prove it, but
t2WhileLoopStart and tail-predicated loops will remain the same.
- And all the tests have been updated. There are a lot of them!
This patch on it's own might cause more trouble that it helps, with more
tail-predicated loops being reverted, but some additional patches can
hopefully improve upon that to get to something that is better overall.

This is split off from D80316, slightly tightening the definition of overloaded
hardwareloop intrinsic llvm.loop.decrement.reg specifying that both operands
its result have the same type.
The code is now in a good enough state to pass the bunch of tests that
I have run (after fixing the bugs), so let's enable it by default.

This provides the low-level support to start using MVE vector types in
LLVM IR, loading and storing them, passing them to __asm__ statements
containing hand-written MVE vector instructions, and *if* you have the
hard-float ABI turned on, using them as function parameters.
(In the soft-float ABI, vector types are passed in integer registers,
and combining all those 32-bit integers into a q-reg requires support
for selection DAG nodes like insert_vector_elt and build_vector which
aren't implemented yet for MVE. In fact I've also had to add
`arm_aapcs_vfpcc` to a couple of existing tests to avoid that
problem.)
Specifically, this commit adds support for:
* spills, reloads and register moves for MVE vector registers
* ditto for the VPT predication mask that lives in VPR.P0
* make all the MVE vector types legal in ISel, and provide selection
DAG patterns for BITCAST, LOAD and STORE
* make loads and stores of scalar FP types conditional on
`hasFPRegs()` rather than `hasVFP2Base()`. As a result a few
existing tests needed their llc command lines updating to use
`-mattr=-fpregs` as their method of turning off all hardware FP
support.

Introduce three pseudo instructions to be used during DAG ISel to
represent v8.1-m low-overhead loops. One maps to set_loop_iterations
while loop_decrement_reg is lowered to two, so that we can separate
the decrement and branching operations. The pseudo instructions are
expanded pre-emission, where we can still decide whether we actually
want to generate a low-overhead loop, in a new pass:
ARMLowOverheadLoops. The pass currently bails, reverting to an sub,
icmp and br, in the cases where a call or stack spill/restore happens
between the decrement and branching instructions, or if the loop is
too large.

Implement the backend target hook to drive the HardwareLoops pass.
The low-overhead branch extension for Arm M-class cores is flexible
enough that we don't have to ensure correctness at this point, except
checking that the loop counter variable can be stored in LR - a
32-bit register. For it to be profitable, we want to avoid loops that
contain function calls, or any other instruction that alters the PC.
This implementation uses TargetLoweringInfo, to query type and
operation actions, looks at intrinsic calls and also performs some
manual checks for remainder/division and FP operations.
I think this should be a good base to start and extra details can be
filled out later.
