Fixes PR30730.
This is a re-commit of a pulled commit. The commit was pulled because some
software projects contained uses of Altivec vectors that violated alignment
requirements. Known issues have now been fixed.

This commit caused some miscompiles that did not show up on any of the bots.
Reverting until we can investigate the cause of those failures.

This patch corresponds to review:

The new lxvx/stxvx instructions do not require the swaps to line the elements
up correctly. In order to select them over the lxvd2x/lxvw4x instructions which
require swaps, the patterns for the old instruction have a predicate that
ensures they won't be selected on Power9 and newer CPUs.

Currently we have a number of tests that fail with -verify-machineinstrs.
To detect this cases earlier we add the option to the testcases with the
exception of tests that will currently fail with this option. PR 27456 keeps
track of this failures.
No code review, as discussed with Hal Finkel.

This patch adds a new SSA MI pass that runs on little-endian PPC64
code with VSX enabled. Loads and stores of 4x32 and 2x64 vectors
without alignment constraints are accomplished for little-endian using
lxvd2x/xxswapd and xxswapd/stxvd2x. The existence of the additional
xxswapd instructions hurts performance in comparison with big-endian
code, but they are necessary in the general case to support correct
semantics.
However, the general case does not apply to most vector code. Many
vector instructions are lane-insensitive; they do not "care" which
lanes the parallel computations are performed within, provided that
the resulting data is stored into the correct locations. Thus this
pass looks for computations that perform only lane-insensitive
operations, and remove the unnecessary swaps from loads and stores in
such computations.
Future improvements will allow computations using certain
lane-sensitive operations to also be optimized in this manner, by
modifying the lane-sensitive operations to account for the permuted
order of the lanes. However, this patch only adds the infrastructure
to permit this; no lane-sensitive operations are optimized at this
time.
This code is heavily exercised by the various vectorizing applications
in the projects/test-suite tree. For the time being, I have only added
one simple test case to demonstrate what the pass is doing. Although
it is quite simple, it provides coverage for much of the code,
including the special case handling of copies and subreg-to-reg
operations feeding the swaps. I plan to add additional tests in the
future as I fill in more of the "special handling" code.
Two existing tests were affected, because they expected the swaps to
be present, but they are now removed.

TableGen had been nicely generating code to print a number of instructions using
shorter aliases (and PowerPC has plenty of short mnemonics), but we were not
calling it. For some of the aliases we support in the parser, TableGen can't
infer the "inverse" alias relationship, so there is still more to do.
Thus, after some hours of updating test cases...
llvm-svn: 235616
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]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

With the foregoing three patches, VSX instructions can be used for
little endian. This patch removes the restriction that prevented
this, and re-enables the test cases from the first three patches.
llvm-svn: 223792
This patch addresses the inherent big-endian bias in the lxvd2x,
lxvw4x, stxvd2x, and stxvw4x instructions. These instructions load
vector elements into registers left-to-right (with the first element
loaded into the high-order bits of the register), regardless of the
endian setting of the processor. However, these are the only
vector memory instructions that permit unaligned storage accesses, so
we want to use them for little-endian.
To make this work, a lxvd2x or lxvw4x is replaced with an lxvd2x
followed by an xxswapd, which swaps the doublewords. This works for
lxvw4x as well as lxvd2x, because for lxvw4x on an LE system the
vector elements are in LE order (right-to-left) within each
doubleword. (Thus after lxvw2x of a <4 x float> the elements will
appear as 1, 0, 3, 2. Following the swap, they will appear as 3, 2,
0, 1, as desired.) For stores, an stxvd2x or stxvw4x is replaced
with an stxvd2x preceded by an xxswapd.
Introduction of extra swap instructions provides correctness, but
obviously is not ideal from a performance perspective. Future patches
will address this with optimizations to remove most of the introduced
swaps, which have proven effective in other implementations.
The introduction of the swaps is performed during lowering of LOAD,
STORE, INTRINSIC_W_CHAIN, and INTRINSIC_VOID operations. The latter
are used to translate intrinsics that specify the VSX loads and stores
directly into equivalent sequences for little endian. Thus code that
uses vec_vsx_ld and vec_vsx_st does not have to be modified to be
ported from BE to LE.
We introduce new PPCISD opcodes for LXVD2X, STXVD2X, and XXSWAPD for
use during this lowering step. In PPCInstrVSX.td, we add new SDType
and SDNode definitions for these (PPClxvd2x, PPCstxvd2x, PPCxxswapd).
These are recognized during instruction selection and mapped to the
correct instructions.
Several tests that were written to use -mcpu=pwr7 or pwr8 are modified
to disable VSX on LE variants because code generation changes with
this and subsequent patches in this set. I chose to include all of
these in the first patch than try to rigorously sort out which tests
were broken by one or another of the patches. Sorry about that.
The new test vsx-ldst-builtin-le.ll, and the changes to vsx-ldst.ll,
are disabled until LE support is enabled because of breakages that
occur as noted in those tests. They are re-enabled in patch 4/4.

This patch enables the vec_vsx_ld and vec_vsx_st intrinsics for
PowerPC, which provide programmer access to the lxvd2x, lxvw4x,
stxvd2x, and stxvw4x instructions.
New LLVM intrinsics are provided to represent these four instructions
in IntrinsicsPowerPC.td. These are patterned after the similar
intrinsics for lvx and stvx (Altivec). In PPCInstrVSX.td, these
intrinsics are tied to the code gen patterns, with additional patterns
to allow plain vanilla loads and stores to still generate these
instructions.
At -O1 and higher the intrinsics are immediately converted to loads
and stores in InstCombineCalls.cpp. This will open up more
optimization opportunities while still allowing the correct
instructions to be generated. (Similar code exists for aligned
Altivec loads and stores.)
The new intrinsics are added to the code that checks for consecutive
loads and stores in PPCISelLowering.cpp, as well as to
PPCTargetLowering::getTgtMemIntrinsic().
There's a new test to verify the correct instructions are generated.
The loads and stores tend to be reordered, so the test just counts
their number. It runs at -O2, as it's not very effective to test this
at -O0, when many unnecessary loads and stores are generated.
I ended up having to modify vsx-fma-m.ll. It turns out this test case
is slightly unreliable, but I don't know a good way to prevent
problems with it. The xvmaddmdp instructions read and write the same
register, which is one of the multiplicands. Commutativity allows
either to be chosen. If the FMAs are reordered differently than
expected by the test, the register assignment can be different as a
result. Hopefully this doesn't change often.
There is a companion patch for Clang.
