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.

Summary:
This change is part of a series of commits dedicated to have a single
DataLayout during compilation by using always the one owned by the
module.
This patch is quite boring overall, except for some uglyness in
ASMPrinter which has a getDataLayout function but has some clients
that use it without a Module (llmv-dsymutil, llvm-dwarfdump), so
some methods are taking a DataLayout as parameter.

The vec_sld interface provides access to the vsldoi instruction.
Unlike most of the vec_* interfaces, we do not attempt to change the
generated code for vec_sld based on the endian mode. It is too
difficult to correctly infer the desired semantics because of
different element types, and the corrected instruction sequence is
expensive, involving loading a permute control vector and performing a
generalized permute.
For GCC, this was implemented as "Don't touch the vec_sld"
implementation. When it came time for the LLVM implementation, I did
the same thing. However, this was hasty and incorrect. In LLVM's
version of altivec.h, vec_sld was previously defined in terms of the
vec_perm interface. Because vec_perm semantics are adjusted for
little endian, this means that leaving vec_sld untouched causes it to
generate something different for LE than for BE. Not good.
This back-end patch accompanies the changes to altivec.h that change
vec_sld's behavior for little endian. Those changes mean that we see
slightly different code in the back end when trying to recognize a
VSLDOI instruction in isVSLDOIShuffleMask. In particular, a
ShuffleKind of 1 (where the two inputs are identical) must now be
treated the same way as a ShuffleKind of 2 (little endian with
different inputs) when little endian mode is in force. This is
because ShuffleKind of 1 is defined using big-endian numbering.
This has a ripple effect on LowerBUILD_VECTOR, where we create our own
internal VSLDOI instructions. Because these are a ShuffleKind of 1,
they will now have their shift amounts subtracted from 16 when
recognizing the shuffle mask. To avoid problems we have to subtract
them from 16 again before creating the VSLDOI instructions.
There are a couple of other uses of BuildVSLDOI, but these do not need
to be modified because the shift amount is 8, which is unchanged when
subtracted from 16.

This is a direct port of the code from the X86 backend (r239486/r240361), which
uses the MachineCombiner to reassociate (floating-point) adds/muls to increase
ILP, to the PowerPC backend. The rationale is the same.
There is a lot of copy-and-paste here between the X86 code and the PowerPC
code, and we should extract at least some of this into CodeGen somewhere.
However, I don't want to do that until this code is enhanced to handle FMAs as
well. After that, we'll be in a better position to extract the common parts.
llvm-svn: 242279
If the source of the copy that defines the addend is a physical register, then
its existing live range may not extend to the FMA being mutated. Make sure we
extend the live range of the register to meet the FMA because it will become
its operand in this case.
I don't have an independent test case, but it will be exposed by change to be
committed shortly enabling the use of the machine combiner to do fadd/fmul
reassociation, and will be covered by one of the associated regression tests.

Follow-up r235483, with the corresponding support in PPC. We use a regular call
for symbolic targets (because they're much cheaper than indirect calls).
llvm-svn: 242239
We used to take the address specified as the direct target of the patchpoint
and did no TOC-pointer handling. This, however, as not all that useful,
because MCJIT tends to create a lot of modules, and they have their own TOC
sections. Thus, to call from the generated code to other generated code, you
really need to switch TOC pointers. Make this work as expected, and under
ELFv1, tread the address as the function descriptor address so that the correct
TOC pointer can be loaded.
llvm-svn: 242217
SelectionDAG already had begin/end methods for iterating over all
the nodes, but didn't define an iterator_range for us in foreach

This adds such a method and uses it in some of the eligible places
throughout the backends.
llvm-svn: 242212
PowerPC uses itineraries to describe processor pipelines (and dispatch-group
restrictions for P7/P8 cores). Unfortunately, the target-independent
implementation of TII.getInstrLatency calls ItinData->getStageLatency, and that
looks for the largest cycle count in the pipeline for any given instruction.
This, however, yields the wrong answer for the PPC itineraries, because we
don't encode the full pipeline. Because the functional units are fully
pipelined, we only model the initial stages (there are no relevant hazards in
the later stages to model), and so the technique employed by getStageLatency
does not really work. Instead, we should take the maximum output operand
latency, and that's what PPCInstrInfo::getInstrLatency now does.
This caused some test-case churn, including two unfortunate side effects.
First, the new arrangement of copies we get from function parameters now
sometimes blocks VSX FMA mutation (a FIXME has been added to the code and the
test cases), and we have one significant test-suite regression:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/BenchmarkGame/spectral-norm
56.4185% +/- 18.9398%
In this benchmark we have a loop with a vectorized FP divide, and it with the
new scheduling both divides end up in the same dispatch group (which in this
case seems to cause a problem, although why is not exactly clear). The grouping
structure is hard to predict from the bottom of the loop, and there may not be
much we can do to fix this.
Very few other test-suite performance effects were really significant, but
almost all weakly favor this change. However, in light of the issues
highlighted above, I've left the old behavior available via a
command-line flag.
llvm-svn: 242188
We have a detailed def/use lists for every physical register in

This patch allows VSX swap optimization to succeed more frequently.
Specifically, it is concerned with common code sequences that occur
when copying a scalar floating-point value to a vector register. This
patch currently handles cases where the floating-point value is
already in a register, but does not yet handle loads (such as via an
LXSDX scalar floating-point VSX load). That will be dealt with later.
A typical case is when a scalar value comes in as a floating-point
parameter. The value is copied into a virtual VSFRC register, and
then a sequence of SUBREG_TO_REG and/or COPY operations will convert
it to a full vector register of the class required by the context. If
this vector register is then used as part of a lane-permuted
computation, the original scalar value will be in the wrong lane. We
can fix this by adding a swap operation following any widening
SUBREG_TO_REG operation. Additional COPY operations may be needed
around the swap operation in order to keep register assignment happy,
but these are pro forma operations that will be removed by coalescing.
If a scalar value is otherwise directly referenced in a computation
(such as by one of the many XS* vector-scalar operations), we
currently disable swap optimization. These operations are
lane-sensitive by definition. A MentionsPartialVR flag is added for
use in each swap table entry that mentions a scalar floating-point
register without having special handling defined.
A common idiom for PPC64LE is to convert a double-precision scalar to
a vector by performing a splat operation. This ensures that the value
can be referenced as V[0], as it would be for big endian, whereas just
converting the scalar to a vector with a SUBREG_TO_REG operation
leaves this value only in V[1]. A doubleword splat operation is one
form of an XXPERMDI instruction, which takes one doubleword from a
first operand and another doubleword from a second operand, with a
two-bit selector operand indicating which doublewords are chosen. In
the general case, an XXPERMDI can be permitted in a lane-swapped
region provided that it is properly transformed to select the
corresponding swapped values. This transformation is to reverse the
order of the two input operands, and to reverse and complement the
bits of the selector operand (derivation left as an exercise to the
reader ;).
A new test case that exercises the scalar-to-vector and generalized
XXPERMDI transformations is added as CodeGen/PowerPC/swaps-le-5.ll.
The patch also requires a change to CodeGen/PowerPC/swaps-le-3.ll to
use CHECK-DAG instead of CHECK for two independent instructions that
now appear in reverse order.
There are two small unrelated changes that are added with this patch.
First, the XXSLDWI instruction was incorrectly omitted from the list
of lane-sensitive instructions; this is now fixed. Second, I observed
that the same webs were being rejected over and over again for
different reasons. Since it's sufficient to reject a web only once, I
added a check for this to speed up the compilation time slightly.

r238842 added the TargetRecip system for controlling use of reciprocal
estimates for sqrt and division using a set of parameters that can be set by
the frontend. Clang now supports a sophisticated -mrecip option, and this will
allow that option to effectively control the relevant code-generation
functionality of the PPC backend.
llvm-svn: 241985
This adds support for the 'nest' attribute, which allows the static chain
register to be set for functions calls under non-Darwin PPC/PPC64 targets. r11
is the chain register (which the PPC64 ELF ABI calls the "environment
pointer"). For indirect calls under PPC64 ELFv1, this would normally be loaded
from the function descriptor, but providing an explicit 'nest' parameter will
override that process and use the value provided.
This allows __builtin_call_with_static_chain to work as expected on PowerPC.
llvm-svn: 241984
Force all creators of `MCSubtargetInfo` to immediately initialize it,
merging the default constructor and the initializer into an initializing
constructor. Besides cleaning up the code a little, this makes it clear
that the initializer is never called again later.
Out-of-tree backends need a trivial change: instead of calling:
auto *X = new MCSubtargetInfo();
InitXYZMCSubtargetInfo(X, ...);
return X;
they should call:
return createXYZMCSubtargetInfoImpl(...);
There's no real functionality change here.

Summary:
The target frame lowering's concrete type is always known in RegisterInfo, yet it's only sometimes devirtualized through a static_cast. This change adds an auto-generated static function <Target>GenRegisterInfo::getFrameLowering(const MachineFunction &MF) which does this devirtualization, and uses this function in all targets which can.
This change was suggested by sunfish in D11070 for WebAssembly, I figure that I may as well improve the other targets while I'm here.

At this point, the StringRef-form of GNU Triples should only be used in the

interact with the API (most notably the Module class). The next step is to
replace these Triple objects with the TargetTuple object that will represent

In r241285, I removed the SUBREG_TO_REG restriction from VSX swap
removal, determining that this was overly conservative. We have
another form of the same restriction in that we check for the presence
of implicit subregs in vector operations. As with SUBREG_TO_REG for
partial register conversions, an implicit subreg is safe in and of
itself, provided no other operation makes a lane-sensitive assumption
about the result. This patch removes that restriction, by removing
the HasImplicitSubreg flag and all code that relies on it.
I've added a test case that fails to optimize before this patch is
applied, and optimizes properly with the patch. Test based on a
report from Anton Blanchard.
llvm-svn: 241290
With a previous patch, the VSX swap optimization is able to recognize
the doubleword load-splat idiom that can be implemented using lxvdsx.
However, that does not cover a doubleword splat where the source is a
register. We can implement this using xxspltd (a special form of
xxpermdi). This patch teaches the swap optimization pass about this
idiom.
As a prerequisite, it also permits swap optimization to succeed for
all forms of SUBREG_TO_REG. Previously we were conservative and only
allowed SUBREG_TO_REG when it copied a full register. However, on
reflection any form of SUBREG_TO_REG is safe in and of itself, so long
as an unsafe operation is not performed on its result. In particular,
a widening SUBREG_TO_REG often occurs as an input to a doubleword
splat idiom, particularly in auto-vectorized code.
The doubleword splat idiom is an XXPERMDI operation where both source
registers are identical, and the selection mask is either 0 (splat the
first element) or 3 (splat the second element). To determine whether
the registers are identical, we use the existing mechanism for looking
through "copy-like" operations. That mechanism has a side effect of
marking the XXPERMDI operation as using a physical register, which
would invalidate its presence in a swap-optimized region. This is
correct for the form of XXPERMDI that performs a swap and hence would
be removed, but is not what we want for a doubleword-splat variety of
XXPERMDI. Therefore we reset the physical-register flag on the
XXPERMDI when it represents a splat.
A simple test case is added to verify that we generate the splat and
that we also remove the xxswapd instructions that would otherwise be
associated with the load and store of another operand.
llvm-svn: 241285
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.
