Lang Hames de7ab801cc Add a natural stack alignment field to TargetData, and prevent InstCombine from
promoting allocas to preferred alignments that exceed the natural
alignment. This avoids some potentially expensive dynamic stack realignments.

The natural stack alignment is set in target data strings via the "S<size>"
option. Size is in bits and must be a multiple of 8. The natural stack alignment
defaults to "unspecified" (represented by a zero value), and the "unspecified"
value does not prevent any alignment promotions. Target maintainers that care
about avoiding promotions should explicitly add the "S<size>" option to their
target data strings.

Jakob Stoklund Olesen 98ee37d878 Remove obsolete README_SSE note.
We are generating movaps for all XMM register copies, including scalar
floating point values. This is known to be at least as good as movss and movsd
for all known architectures up to and including Nehalem because it avoids a
partial register stall.

The SSEDomainFix pass will switch movaps to movdqa when appropriate (i.e., when
operands come from the integer unit). We don't now that switching movaps to
movapd has any benefit.

The same applies to andps -> pand.

Evan Cheng f31f288863 The memory alignment requirement on some of the mov{h|l}p{d|s} patterns are 16-byte. That is overly strict. These instructions read / write f64 memory locations without alignment requirement.

Evan Cheng 3fc2372d3a - Fix a x86 vector isel bug: illegal transformation of a vector_shuffle into a

Evan Cheng 1120279ae6 Instead of a vector load, shuffle and then extract an element. Load the element from address with an offset.
pshufd $1, (%rdi), %xmm0

Chris Lattner b6387c8a74 Finish implementing a readme entry: when inserting an i64 variable
into a vector of zeros or undef, and when the top part is obviously
zero, we can just use movd + shuffle.  This allows us to compile
vec_set-B.ll into:

_test3:
	movl	$1234567, %eax
	andl	4(%esp), %eax
	movd	%eax, %xmm0
	ret

instead of:

_test3:
	subl	$28, %esp
	movl	$1234567, %eax
	andl	32(%esp), %eax
	movl	%eax, (%esp)
	movl	$0, 4(%esp)
	movq	(%esp), %xmm0
	addl	$28, %esp
	ret

into:
	movl	$1, %eax
	movd	%eax, %xmm0

Chris Lattner d2b8a36f0e One readme entry is done, one is really easy (Evan, want to investigate
eliminating the llvm.x86.sse2.loadl.pd intrinsic?), one shuffle optzn
may be done (if shufps is better than pinsw, Evan, please review), and
we already know about LICM of simple instructions.
