select Cond, C +/- 1, C --> add(ext Cond), C -- with a target hook.
This is part of the ongoing process to obsolete D24480. The motivation is to
canonicalize to select IR in InstCombine whenever possible, so we need to have a way to
undo that easily in codegen.
PowerPC is an obvious winner for this kind of transform because it has fast and complete
bit-twiddling abilities but generally lousy conditional execution perf (although this might
have changed in recent implementations).
x86 also sees some wins, but the effect is limited because these transforms already mostly
exist in its target-specific combineSelectOfTwoConstants(). The fact that we see any x86
changes just shows that that code is a mess of special-case holes. We may be able to remove
some of that logic now.
My guess is that other targets will want to enable this hook for most cases. The likely
follow-ups would be to add value type and/or the constants themselves as parameters for the
hook. As the tests in select_const.ll show, we can transform any select-of-constants to
math/logic, but the general transform for any 2 constants needs one more instruction
(multiply or 'and').
ARM is one target that I think may not want this for most cases. I see infinite loops there
because it wants to use selects to enable conditionally executed instructions.

This bug was introduced with:
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL296699
There may be a way to loosen the restriction, but for now just bail out
on any opaque constant.
The tests show that opacity is target-specific. This goes back to cost
calculations in ConstantHoisting based on TTI->getIntImmCost().

This is part of the ongoing attempt to improve select codegen for all targets and select
canonicalization in IR (see D24480 for more background). The transform is a subset of what
is done in InstCombine's FoldOpIntoSelect().
I first noticed a regression in the x86 avx512-insert-extract.ll tests with a patch that
hopes to convert more selects to basic math ops. This appears to be a general missing DAG
transform though, so I added tests for all standard binops in rL296621
(PowerPC was chosen semi-randomly; it has scripted FileCheck support, but so do ARM and x86).
The poor output for "sel_constants_shl_constant" is tracked with:

The motivation for filling out these select-of-constants cases goes back to D24480,
where we discussed removing an IR fold from add(zext) --> select. And that goes back to:
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL75531https://reviews.llvm.org/rL159230
The idea is that we should always canonicalize patterns like this to a select-of-constants
in IR because that's the smallest IR and the best for value tracking. Note that we currently
do the opposite in some cases (like the cases in *this* patch). Ie, the proposed folds in
this patch already exist in InstCombine today:
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/master/lib/Transforms/InstCombine/InstCombineSelect.cpp#L1151
As this patch shows, most targets generate better machine code for simple ext/add/not ops
rather than a select of constants. So the follow-up steps to make this less of a patchwork
of special-case folds and missing IR canonicalization:
1. Have DAGCombiner convert any select of constants into ext/add/not ops.
2 Have InstCombine canonicalize in the other direction (create more selects).

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.

Original message:
The attached is the fix to radar://11663049. The optimization can be outlined by following rules:
(select (x != c), e, c) -> select (x != c), e, x),
(select (x == c), c, e) -> select (x == c), x, e)
where the <c> is an integer constant.
The reason for this change is that : on x86, conditional-move-from-constant needs two instructions;
however, conditional-move-from-register need only one instruction.
While the LowerSELECT() sounds to be the most convenient place for this optimization, it turns out to be a bad place. The reason is that by replacing the constant <c> with a symbolic value, it obscure some instruction-combining opportunities which would otherwise be very easy to spot. For that reason, I have to postpone the change to last instruction-combining phase.
The change passes the test of "make check-all -C <build-root/test" and "make -C project/test-suite/SingleSource".
Original message since r165661:
My previous change has a bug: I negated the condition code of a CMOV, and go ahead creating a new CMOV using the *ORIGINAL* condition code.
