Making use of VFP / NEON floating point multiply-accumulate / subtraction is
difficult on current ARM implementations for a few reasons.
1. Even though a single vmla has latency that is one cycle shorter than a pair
of vmul + vadd, a RAW hazard during the first (4? on Cortex-a8) can cause
additional pipeline stall. So it's frequently better to single codegen
vmul + vadd.
2. A vmla folowed by a vmul, vmadd, or vsub causes the second fp instruction to
stall for 4 cycles. We need to schedule them apart.
3. A vmla followed vmla is a special case. Obvious issuing back to back RAW
vmla + vmla is very bad. But this isn't ideal either:
vmul
vadd
vmla
Instead, we want to expand the second vmla:
vmla
vmul
vadd
Even with the 4 cycle vmul stall, the second sequence is still 2 cycles
faster.
Up to now, isel simply avoid codegen'ing fp vmla / vmls. This works well enough
but it isn't the optimial solution. This patch attempts to make it possible to
use vmla / vmls in cases where it is profitable.
A. Add missing isel predicates which cause vmla to be codegen'ed.
B. Make sure the fmul in (fadd (fmul)) has a single use. We don't want to
compute a fmul and a fmla.
C. Add additional isel checks for vmla, avoid cases where vmla is feeding into
fp instructions (except for the #3 exceptional case).
D. Add ARM hazard recognizer to model the vmla / vmls hazards.
E. Add a special pre-regalloc case to expand vmla / vmls when it's likely the
vmla / vmls will trigger one of the special hazards.
Enable these fp vmlx codegen changes for Cortex-A9.

Add a avoidWriteAfterWrite() target hook to identify register classes that
suffer from write-after-write hazards. For those register classes, try to avoid
writing the same register in two consecutive instructions.
This is currently disabled by default. We should not spill to avoid hazards!
The command line flag -avoid-waw-hazard can be used to enable waw avoidance.

when they are a truncate from something else. This eliminates fully half of all the
fastisel rejections on a test c++ file I'm working with, which should make a substantial
improvement for -O0 compile of c++ code.

Before we would bail out on i1 arguments all together, now we just bail on
non-constant ones. Also, we used to emit extraneous code. e.g. test12 was:
movb $0, %al
movzbl %al, %edi
callq _test12
and test13 was:
movb $0, %al
xorl %edi, %edi
movb %al, 7(%rsp)
callq _test13f
Now we get:
movl $0, %edi
callq _test12
and:
movl $0, %edi
callq _test13f

is, it assumes addresses are 64-bit aligned (which should be the more common
case). If the alignment is found not to be aligned, then getOperandLatency()
would adjust the operand latency computation by one to compensate for it.

the generated FastISel. X86 doesn't need to generate code to match ADD16ri8
since ADD16ri will do just fine. This is a small codesize win in the generated
instruction selector.

simplifying them and exposing more information to tblgen. It would be nice
if other target authors adopted this as well, particularly arm since it has fastisel.

kind of predicate: one that is specific to imm nodes. The predicate function
specified here just checks an int64_t directly instead of messing around with
SDNode's. The virtue of this is that it means that fastisel and other things
can reason about these predicates.

structure and fix some fixmes. We now have a TreePredicateFn class
that handles all of the decoding of these things. This is an internal
cleanup that has no impact on the code generated by tblgen.

2. implement rdar://9289501 - fast isel should fold trivial multiplies to shifts
3. teach tblgen to handle shift immediates that are different sizes than the
shifted operands, eliminating some code from the X86 fast isel backend.
4. Have FastISel::SelectBinaryOp use (the poorly named) FastEmit_ri_ function
instead of FastEmit_ri to simplify code.

when we have a global variable base an an index. Instead, just give up on
folding the global variable.
Before we'd geenrate:
_test: ## @test
## BB#0:
movq _rtx_length@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
leaq (%rax), %rax
addq %rdi, %rax
movzbl (%rax), %eax
ret
now we generate:
_test: ## @test
## BB#0:
movq _rtx_length@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
movzbl (%rax,%rdi), %eax
ret
The difference is even more significant when there is a scale
involved.
