Currently undef is used as a don’t-care vector when constructing a vector using a series of insertelement.
However, this is problematic because undef isn’t undefined enough.
Especially, a sequence of insertelement can be optimized to shufflevector, but using undef as its placeholder makes shufflevector a poison-blocking instruction because undef cannot be optimized to poison.
This makes a few straightforward optimizations incorrect, such as:
```
; https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44185
define <4 x float> @insert_not_undef_shuffle_translate_commute(float %x, <4 x float> %y, <4 x float> %q) {
%xv = insertelement <4 x float> %q, float %x, i32 2
%r = shufflevector <4 x float> %y, <4 x float> %xv, <4 x i32> { 0, 6, 2, undef }
ret <4 x float> %r ; %r[3] is undef
}
=>
define <4 x float> @insert_not_undef_shuffle_translate_commute(float %x, <4 x float> %y, <4 x float> %q) {
%r = insertelement <4 x float> %y, float %x, i32 1
ret <4 x float> %r ; %r[3] = %y[3], incorrect if %y[3] = poison
}
Transformation doesn't verify!
ERROR: Target is more poisonous than source
```
I’d like to suggest
1. Using poison as insertelement’s placeholder value (IRBuilder::CreateVectorSplat should be patched too)
2. Updating shufflevector’s semantics to return poison element if mask is undef
Note that poison is currently lowered into UNDEF in SelDag, so codegen part is okay.
m_Undef() matches PoisonValue as well, so existing optimizations will still fire.
The only concern is hidden miscompilations that will go incorrect when poison constant is given.
A conservative way is copying all tests having `insertelement undef` & replacing it with `insertelement poison` & run Alive2 on it, but it will create many tests and people won’t like it. :(
Instead, I’ll simply locally maintain the tests and run Alive2.
If there is any bug found, I’ll report it.

We have a transform in the opposite direction only for the x86 MMX type,
Other types are not handled either way before this patch.
The motivating case from PR45748:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45748
...is the last test diff. In that example, we are triggering an existing
bitcast transform, so we reduce the number of casts, and that should give
us the ideal x86 codegen.

This reverts these two commits
[InstCombine] Turn (extractelement <1 x i64/double> (bitcast (x86_mmx))) into a single bitcast from x86_mmx to i64/double.
[InstCombine] Don't transform bitcasts between x86_mmx and v1i64 into insertelement/extractelement
We're seeing at least one internal test failure related to a
bitcast that was previously before an inline assembly block
containing emms being placed after it. This leads to the mmx
state ending up not empty after the emms. IR has no way to
make any specific guarantees about this. Reverting these patches
to get back to previous behavior which at least worked for this
test.
The _m64 type is represented in IR as <1 x i64>. The x86-64 ABI
on Linux passes <1 x i64> as a double. MMX intrinsics use x86_mmx
type in IR.These things result in a lot of bitcasts in mmx code.
There's another instcombine that tries to turn bitcast <1 x i64>
to double into extractelement and a bitcast.
The combine here tries to reverse this extractelement conversion
if we see an mmx type.
x86_mmx is conceptually a vector already. Don't introduce an extra conversion between it and scalar i64.
I'm using VectorType::isValidElementType which checks for floating point, integer, and pointers to hopefully make this more readable than just blacklisting x86_mmx.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D69964
As the test cases show, we end up with an insert/extract and a
bitcast to/from i64. x86_mmx is for some purposes conceptually a
vector. We shouldn't be adding scalar conversions around it.
Since _m64 is defined as <1 x i64> and intrinsics use x86_mmx
as their input/output these extra scalar operations prevent
the X86 backend from generating good code especially on 32-bit
targets where i64 gets split.
As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

This change was discussed in D15392. It allows us to remove the fold that was added
in:
http://reviews.llvm.org/r255261
...and it will allow us to generalize this fold:
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL112232
while preserving the order of bitcast + extract that it produces and testing shows
is better handled by the backend.
Note that the existing check for "isVectorTy()" wasn't strong enough in general
and specifically because: x86_mmx. It's not a vector, but it's not vectorizable
either. So here we check VectorType::isValidElementType() directly before
proceeding with the transform.

insertelement/extractelement.
I'm not entirely sure this is precisely what we want to do: should we
prefer bitcast(insertelement) or insertelement(bitcast)? Similarly. should we
prefer extractelement(bitcast) or bitcast(extractelement)?
