The previous rev (r310208) failed to account for overflow when subtracting the
constants to see if they're suitable for shift/lea. This version add a check
for that and more test were added in r310490.
We can convert any select-of-constants to math ops:

For this patch, I'm enhancing an existing x86 transform that uses fake multiplies
(they always become shl/lea) to avoid cmov or branching. The current code misses
cases where we have a negative constant and a positive constant, so this is just
trying to plug that hole.
The DAGCombiner diff prevents us from hitting a terrible inefficiency: we can start
with a select in IR, create a select DAG node, convert it into a sext, convert it
back into a select, and then lower it to sext machine code.
Some notes about the test diffs:
1. 2010-08-04-MaskedSignedCompare.ll - We were creating control flow that didn't exist in the IR.
2. memcmp.ll - Choose -1 or 1 is the case that got me looking at this again. We could avoid the
push/pop in some cases if we used 'movzbl %al' instead of an xor on a different reg? That's a
post-DAG problem though.
3. mul-constant-result.ll - The trade-off between sbb+not vs. setne+neg could be addressed if
that's a regression, but those would always be nearly equivalent.
4. pr22338.ll and sext-i1.ll - These tests have undef operands, so we don't actually care about these diffs.
5. sbb.ll - This shows a win for what is likely a common case: choose -1 or 0.
6. select.ll - There's another borderline case here: cmp+sbb+or vs. test+set+lea? Also, sbb+not vs. setae+neg shows up again.
7. select_const.ll - These are motivating cases for the enhancement; replace cmov with cheaper ops.
Assembly differences between movzbl and xor to avoid a partial reg stall are caused later by the X86 Fixup SetCC pass.

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:

See r230786 and r230794 for similar changes to gep and load
respectively.
Call is a bit different because it often doesn't have a single explicit
type - usually the type is deduced from the arguments, and just the
return type is explicit. In those cases there's no need to change the
IR.
When that's not the case, the IR usually contains the pointer type of
the first operand - but since typed pointers are going away, that
representation is insufficient so I'm just stripping the "pointerness"
of the explicit type away.
This does make the IR a bit weird - it /sort of/ reads like the type of
the first operand: "call void () %x(" but %x is actually of type "void
()*" and will eventually be just of type "ptr". But this seems not too
bad and I don't think it would benefit from repeating the type
("void (), void () * %x(" and then eventually "void (), ptr %x(") as has
been done with gep and load.
This also has a side benefit: since the explicit type is no longer a
pointer, there's no ambiguity between an explicit type and a function
that returns a function pointer. Previously this case needed an explicit
type (eg: a function returning a void() function was written as
"call void () () * @x(" rather than "call void () * @x(" because of the
ambiguity between a function returning a pointer to a void() function
and a function returning void).
No ambiguity means even function pointer return types can just be
written alone, without writing the whole function's type.
This leaves /only/ the varargs case where the explicit type is required.
Given the special type syntax in call instructions, the regex-fu used
for migration was a bit more involved in its own unique way (as every
one of these is) so here it is. Use it in conjunction with the apply.sh
script and associated find/xargs commands I've provided in rr230786 to
migrate your out of tree tests. Do let me know if any of this doesn't
cover your cases & we can iterate on a more general script/regexes to
help others with out of tree tests.
About 9 test cases couldn't be automatically migrated - half of those
were functions returning function pointers, where I just had to manually
delete the function argument types now that we didn't need an explicit
function type there. The other half were typedefs of function types used
in calls - just had to manually drop the * from those.

Similar to gep (r230786) and load (r230794) changes.
Similar migration script can be used to update test cases, which
successfully migrated all of LLVM and Polly, but about 4 test cases
needed manually changes in Clang.
(this script will read the contents of stdin and massage it into stdout
- wrap it in the 'apply.sh' script shown in previous commits + xargs to
apply it over a large set of test cases)

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")

This is mostly to test the waters. I'd like to get results from FNT
build bots and other bots running on non-x86 platforms.
This feature has been pretty heavily tested over the last few months by
me, and it fixes several of the execution time regressions caused by the
inlining work by preventing inlining decisions from radically impacting
block layout.
I've seen very large improvements in yacr2 and ackermann benchmarks,
along with the expected noise across all of the benchmark suite whenever
code layout changes. I've analyzed all of the regressions and fixed
them, or found them to be impossible to fix. See my email to llvmdev for
more details.
I'd like for this to be in 3.1 as it complements the inliner changes,
but if any failures are showing up or anyone has concerns, it is just
a flag flip and so can be easily turned off.
I'm switching it on tonight to try and get at least one run through
various folks' performance suites in case SPEC or something else has
serious issues with it. I'll watch bots and revert if anything shows up.
