This patch includes the following updates to the load/store refactoring effort introduced in D93370:
- Update various VSX patterns that use to "force" an XForm, to instead just XForm.
This allows the ability for the patterns to compute the most optimal addressing
mode (and to produce a DForm instruction when possible)
- Update pattern and test case for the LXVD2X/STXVD2X intrinsics
- Update LIT test cases that use to use the XForm instruction to use the DForm instruction

Relaxing superclass constraint for VSX register classes helps reducing
32-byte spills and copies when register pressure is high.
In test case affected, some of them introduces more copies due to new
allocation order. However, this patch should not be the root cause, and
we may be able to fix it in other places of register allocation.

Extend shuffle canonicalization and conversion of shuffles fed by vectorized
scalars to big endian subtargets. For big endian subtargets, loads and direct
moves of scalars into vector registers put the data in the correct element for
SCALAR_TO_VECTOR if the data type is 8 bytes wide. However, if the data type is
narrower, the value still ends up in the wrong place - althouth a different
wrong place than on little endian targets.
This patch extends the combine that keeps values where they are if they feed a
shuffle to big endian targets.

This is currently performed in SelectionDAGLegalize, here we make it also
happen in LegalizeVectorOps, allowing a target to lower the SETCC condition
codes first in LegalizeVectorOps and then lower to a custom node afterwards,
without having to duplicate all of the SETCC condition legalization in the
target specific lowering.
As a result of this, fixed length floating point SETCC nodes can now be
properly lowered for SVE.

If SETO/SETUO aren't legal, they'll be expanded and we'll end up
with 3 comparisons.
SETONE is equivalent to (SETOGT || SETOLT)
so if one of those operations is supported use that expansion. We
don't need both since we can commute the operands to make the other.
SETUEQ can be implemented with !(SETOGT || SETOLT) or (SETULE && SETUGE).
I've only implemented the first because it didn't look like most of the
affected targets had legal SETULE/SETUGE.

This rewrites big parts of the fast register allocator. The basic
strategy of doing block-local allocation hasn't changed but I tweaked
several details:
Track register state on register units instead of physical
registers. This simplifies and speeds up handling of register aliases.
Process basic blocks in reverse order: Definitions are known to end
register livetimes when walking backwards (contrary when walking
forward then uses may or may not be a kill so we need heuristics).
Check register mask operands (calls) instead of conservatively
assuming everything is clobbered. Enhance heuristics to detect
killing uses: In case of a small number of defs/uses check if they are
all in the same basic block and if so the last one is a killing use.
Enhance heuristic for copy-coalescing through hinting: We check the
first k defs of a register for COPYs rather than relying on there just
being a single definition. When testing this on the full llvm
test-suite including SPEC externals I measured:
average 5.1% reduction in code size for X86, 4.9% reduction in code on
aarch64. (ranging between 0% and 20% depending on the test) 0.5%
faster compiletime (some analysis suggests the pass is slightly slower
than before, but we more than make up for it because later passes are
faster with the reduced instruction count)
Also adds a few testcases that were broken without this patch, in
particular bug 47278.

and 0671a4c508. It also adjust some
test expectations.
We currently miss a number of opportunities to emit single-instruction
VMRG[LH][BHW] instructions for shuffles on little endian subtargets. Although
this in itself is not a huge performance opportunity since loading the permute
vector for a VPERM can always be pulled out of loops, producing such merge
instructions is useful to downstream optimizations.
Since VPERM is essentially opaque to all subsequent optimizations, we want to
avoid it as much as possible. Other permute instructions have semantics that can
be reasoned about much more easily in later optimizations.
This patch does the following:
- Canonicalize shuffles so that the first element comes from the first vector
(since that's what most of the mask matching functions want)
- Switch the elements that come from splat vectors so that they match the
corresponding elements from the other vector (to allow for merges)
- Adds debugging messages for when a shuffle is matched to a VPERM so that
anyone interested in improving this further can get the info for their code

The 2nd loop calculates spill costs but reports free registers as cost
0 anyway, so there is little benefit from having a separate early
loop.
Surprisingly this is not NFC, as many register are marked regDisabled
so the first loop often picks up later registers unnecessarily instead
of the first one available in the allocation order...

Currently we produce a bunch of unnecessary code when emitting the
prologue/epilogue for spills/restores. Namely, if the load from stack
slot/store to stack slot instruction is an X-Form instruction, we will
always produce an LIS/ORI sequence for the stack offset.
Furthermore, we have not exploited the P9 vector D-Form loads/stores for this
purpose.
This patch address both issues.
Specifying the D-Form load as the instruction to use for stack spills/reloads
should be safe because:
1. The stack should be aligned according to the ABI
2. If the stack isn't aligned, PPCRegisterInfo::eliminateFrameIndex() will
check for the offset being a multiple of 16 and will convert it to an
X-Form instruction if it isn't.

Most of the PowerPC64 code generation for the ELF ABI is already PIC.
There are four main exceptions:
(1) Constant pointer arrays etc. should in writeable sections.
(2) The TOC restoration NOP after a call is needed for all global
symbols. While GNU ld has a workaround for questionable GCC self-calls,
we trigger the checks for calls from COMDAT sections as they cross input
sections and are therefore not considered self-calls. The current
decision is questionable and suboptimal, but outside the scope of the
change.
(3) TLS access can not use the initial-exec model.
(4) Jump tables should use relative addresses. Note that the current
encoding doesn't work for the large code model, but it is more compact
than the default for any non-trivial jump table. Improving this is again
beyond the scope of this change.
At least (1) and (3) are assumptions made in target-independent code and
introducing additional hooks is a bit messy. Testing with clang shows
that a -fPIC binary is 600KB smaller than the corresponding -fno-pic
build. Separate testing from improved jump table encodings would explain
only about 100KB or so. The rest is expected to be a result of more
aggressive immediate forming for -fno-pic, where the -fPIC binary just
uses TOC entries.
This change brings the LLVM output in line with the GCC output, other
PPC64 compilers like XLC on AIX are known to produce PIC by default
as well. The relocation model can still be provided explicitly, i.e.
when using MCJIT.
One test case for case (1) is included, other test cases with relocation
mode sensitive behavior are wired to static for now. They will be
reviewed and adjusted separately.

This patch implements all the overloads for vec_xl_be and vec_xst_be. On BE,
they behaves exactly the same with vec_xl and vec_xst, therefore they are
simply implemented by defining a matching macro. On LE, they are implemented
by defining new builtins and intrinsics. For int/float/long long/double, it
is just a load (lxvw4x/lxvd2x) or store(stxvw4x/stxvd2x). For char/char/short,
we also need some extra shuffling before or after call the builtins to get the
desired BE order. For int128, simply call vec_xl or vec_xst.

This patch adds support for the "vector count trailing zeroes",
"vector compare not equal" and "vector compare not equal or zero instructions"

vector negation to use XXLNOR (when VSX is enabled) so as not to increase
register pressure (previously this was done with a splat immediate of all
ones followed by an XXLXOR). This was done because the altivec.h
builtins (patch to follow) use vector negation and the use of an additional
register for the splat immediate is not optimal.

It changes the legalization strategy for illegal vector types from integer
promotion to widening. This only applies for vectors with elements of width
that is a multiple of a byte since we have hardware support for vectors with
1, 2, 3, 8 and 16 byte elements.
Integer promotion for vectors is quite expensive on PPC due to the sequence
of breaking apart the vector, extending the elements and reconstituting the
vector. Two of these operations are expensive.
This patch causes between minor and major improvements in performance on most
benchmarks. There are very few benchmarks whose performance regresses. These
regressions can be handled in a subsequent patch with a DAG combine (similar
to how this patch handles int -> fp conversions of illegal vector types).

This patch adds a pass for doing PowerPC peephole optimizations at the
MI level while the code is still in SSA form. This allows for easy
modifications to the instructions while depending on a subsequent pass
of DCE. Both passes are very fast due to the characteristics of SSA.
At this time, the only peepholes added are for cleaning up various
redundancies involving the XXPERMDI instruction. However, I would
expect this will be a useful place to add more peepholes for
inefficiencies generated during instruction selection. The pass is
placed after VSX swap optimization, as it is best to let that pass
remove unnecessary swaps before performing any remaining clean-ups.
The utility of these clean-ups are demonstrated by changes to four
existing test cases, all of which now have tighter expected code
generation. I've also added Eric Schweiz's bugpoint-reduced test from
PR25157, for which we now generate tight code. One other test started
failing for me, and I've fixed it
(test/Transforms/PlaceSafepoints/finite-loops.ll) as well; this is not
related to my changes, and I'm not sure why it works before and not
after. The problem is that the CHECK-NOT: of "statepoint" from test1
fails because of the "statepoint" in test2, and so forth. Adding a
CHECK-LABEL in between keeps the different occurrences of that string
properly scoped.

I was looking at some vector code generation and kept seeing
unnecessary vector copies into the Altivec half of the VSX registers.
I discovered that we overlooked v4i32 when adding the register classes
for VSX; we only added v4f32 and v2f64. This means that anything that
canonicalizes into v4i32 (which is a LOT of stuff) ends up being
forced into VRRC on its way to VSRC.
The fix is one line. The rest of the patch is fixing up some test
cases whose code generation has changed as a result.
This seems like it would be a good candidate for backport to 3.7.

When adding little-endian vector support for PowerPC last year, I
inadvertently disabled an optimization that recognizes a load-splat
idiom and generates the lxvdsx instruction. This patch moves the
offending logic so lxvdsx is once again generated.
This pattern is frequently generated by the vectorizer for scalar
loads of an effective constant. Previously the lxvdsx instruction was
wrongly listed as lane-sensitive for the VSX swap optimization (since
both doublewords are identical, swaps are safe). This patch fixes
this as well, so that vectorized code using lxvdsx can now have swaps
removed from the computation.
There is an existing test (@test50) in test/CodeGen/PowerPC/vsx.ll
that checks for the missing optimization. However, vsx.ll was only
being tested for POWER7 with big-endian code generation. I've added
a little-endian RUN statement and expected LE code generation for all
the tests in vsx.ll to give us a bit better VSX coverage, including
what's needed for this patch.
