Newer ppc supports unaligned memory access, it reduces the cost of unaligned memory access significantly. This patch handles this case in PPCTTIImpl::getMemoryOpCost.
This patch fixes pr31492.

This is resubmit of r292680, which was reverted by r293092. The internal application failures were actually caused by a source code bug.

This reverts commit r292680. It is causing significantly worse
performance and test timeouts in our internal builds. I have already
routed reproduction instructions your way.

This patch corresponds to review:

It changes the legalization strategy for illegal vector types from integer
promotion to widening. This only applies for vectors with elements of width
that is a multiple of a byte since we have hardware support for vectors with
1, 2, 3, 8 and 16 byte elements.
Integer promotion for vectors is quite expensive on PPC due to the sequence
of breaking apart the vector, extending the elements and reconstituting the
vector. Two of these operations are expensive.
This patch causes between minor and major improvements in performance on most
benchmarks. There are very few benchmarks whose performance regresses. These
regressions can be handled in a subsequent patch with a DAG combine (similar
to how this patch handles int -> fp conversions of illegal vector types).

Pre-P8, when we generate code for unaligned vector loads (for Altivec and QPX
types), even when accounting for the combining that takes place for multiple
consecutive such loads, there is at least one load instructions and one
permutation for each load. Make sure the cost reported reflects the cost of the
permutes as well.
llvm-svn: 246807
I'm adding a regression test to better cover code generation for unaligned
vector loads and stores, but there's no functional change to the code
generation here. There is an improvement to the cost model for unaligned vector
loads and stores, mostly for QPX (for which we were not previously accounting
for the permutation-based loads), and the cost model implementation is cleaner.
llvm-svn: 246712
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))

BasicTTI::getMemoryOpCost must explicitly check for non-simple types; setting
AllowUnknown=true with TLI->getSimpleValueType is not sufficient because, for
example, non-power-of-two vector types return non-simple EVTs (not MVT::Other).
llvm-svn: 206150
This provides more realistic costs for the insert/extractelement instructions
(which are load/store pairs), accounts for the cheap unaligned Altivec load
sequence, and for unaligned VSX load/stores.
Bad news:
MultiSource/Applications/sgefa/sgefa - 35% slowdown (this will require more investigation)
SingleSource/Benchmarks/McGill/queens - 20% slowdown (we no longer vectorize this, but it was a constant store that was scalarized)
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/pcompress2/pcompress2 - 2% slowdown
Good news:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/ary3 - 54% speedup
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/ary - 40% speedup
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Ptrdist/ks/ks - 35% speedup
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/neural/neural - 30% speedup
MultiSource/Benchmarks/TSVC/Symbolics-flt/Symbolics-flt - 20% speedup
Unfortunately, estimating the costs of the stack-based scalarization sequences
is hard, and adjusting these costs is like a game of whac-a-mole :( I'll
revisit this again after we have better codegen for vector extloads and
truncstores and unaligned load/stores.
llvm-svn: 205658
When a vector type legalizes to a larger vector type, and the target does not
support the associated extending load (or truncating store), then legalization
will scalarize the load (or store) resulting in an associated scalarization
cost. BasicTTI::getMemoryOpCost needs to account for this.
Between this, and r205487, PowerPC on the P7 with VSX enabled shows:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/PAQ8p/paq8p: 43% speedup
SingleSource/Benchmarks/BenchmarkGame/puzzle: 51% speedup
SingleSource/UnitTests/Vectorizer/gcc-loops 28% speedup
(some of these are new; some of these, such as PAQ8p, just reverse regressions
that VSX support would trigger)
llvm-svn: 205495
This provides a place to add customized operation cost information and
control some other target-specific IR-level transformations.
The only non-trivial logic in this checkin assigns a higher cost to
unaligned loads and stores (covered by the included test case).
