4i32 shuffles for single insertions into zero vectors lowers to X86vzmovl which was using (v)blendps - causing domain switch stalls. This patch fixes this by using (v)pblendw instead.
The updated tests on test/CodeGen/X86/sse41.ll still contain a domain stall due to the use of insertps - I'm looking at fixing this in a future patch.

Since (v)pslldq / (v)psrldq instructions resolve to a single input argument it is useful to match it much earlier than we currently do - this prevents more complicated shuffles (notably insertion into a zero vector) matching before it.

perform a load to use blendps rather than movss when it is available.
For non-loads, blendps is *much* faster. It can execute on two ports in
Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge, and *three* ports on Haswell. This fixes
one of the "regressions" from aggressively taking the "insertion" path
in the new vector shuffle lowering.
This does highlight one problem with blendps -- it isn't commuted as
heavily as it should be. That's future work though.

lowering to match VZEXT_MOVL patterns.
I hadn't realized that these had sufficient pattern smarts in the
backend to lower zext-ing from the low element of a vector without it
being a scalar_to_vector node. They do, and this is how to match a bunch
of patterns for movq, movss, etc.
There is a weird propensity to end up using pshufd to place the element
afterward even though it means domain crossing (or rather, to use
xorps+movss to zext the element rather than movq) but that's an
orthogonal problem with VZEXT_MOVL that someone should probably look at.

vector to a zero vector for the v2 cases and fix the v4 integer cases to
actually blend from a vector.
There are already seprate tests for the case of inserting from a scalar.
These cases cover a lot of the regressions I've seen in the regression
test suite for the new vector shuffle lowering and specifically cover
the reported lack of using various zext-ing instruction patterns. My
next patch should fix a big chunk of this, but wanted to get a nice
baseline for these patterns in the test cases first.

elements as well as integer elements in order to form simpler shuffle
patterns.
This is the primary reason why we were failing to match some of the
2-and-2 floating point shuffles such as PR21140. Even after fixing this
we need to support some extra patterns in the backend in order to match
the resulting X86ISD::UNPCKL nodes into the correct instructions. This
commit should fix PR21140 and includes more comprehensive testing of
insertion patterns in v4 shuffles.
Not all of the added tests are beautiful. For example, we don't have
clever instructions to insert-via-load in the integer domain. There are
also some places where we aren't sufficiently cunning with our use of
movq and movd, but that's future work.

the same speed as pshufd but we can fold loads into the pmovzx
instructions.
This fixes some regressions that came up in the regression test suite
for the new vector shuffle lowering.
llvm-svn: 218733
cases.
While clearly we don't need the AVX vector width, these ISA extensions
often cause us to select different instructions and we should cover them
even with the narrow vector width.
Also, while here, nuke the stress_test2 contents. There is no reason to
try to FileCheck this entire body when it is mostly a test for
successfully surviving the code generator.

updating script so that they are more thorough and consistent.
Specific fixes here include:
- Actually test VEX-encoded AVX mnemonics.
- Actually use an SSE 4.1 run to test SSE 4.1 features!
- Correctly check instructions sequences from the start of the function.
- Elide the shuffle operands and comment designator in a consistent way.
- Test all of the architectures instead of just the ones I was motivated
to manually author.
I've gone back through and fixed up any egregious issues I spotted. Let
me know if I missed something you really dislike.
One downside to this is that we're now not as diligently using FileCheck
variables for registers. I would be much more concerned with this if we
had larger register usage, but there just aren't that interesting of
register choices here and most of the registers are constrained by the
ABI. Ultimately, I don't think this is likely to be the maintenance
burden for these tests and updating them again should be staright
forward.

instruction for single-vector floating point shuffles. This in turn
allows the shuffles to fold a load into the instruction which is one of
the common regressions hit with the new shuffle lowering.
llvm-svn: 218190
duplication of check lines. The idea is to have broad sets of
compilation modes that will frequently diverge without having to always
and immediately explode to the precise ISA feature set.
While this already helps due to VEX encoded differences, it will help
much more as I teach the new shuffle lowering about more of the new VEX
encoded instructions which can still be used to implement 128-bit
shuffles.
llvm-svn: 218188
tricky case of single-element insertion into the zero lane of a zero
vector.
We can't just use the same pattern here as we do in every other vector
type because the general insertion logic can handle insertion into the
non-zero lane of the vector. However, in SSE4.1 with v4f32 vectors we
have INSERTPS that is a much better choice than the generic one for such
lowerings. But INSERTPS can do lots of other lowerings as well so
factoring its logic into the general insertion logic doesn't work very
well. We also can't just extract the core common part of the general
insertion logic that is faster (forming VZEXT_MOVL synthetic nodes that
lower to MOVSS when they can) because VZEXT_MOVL is often *faster* than
a blend while INSERTPS is slower! So instead we do a restrictive
condition on attempting to use the generic insertion logic to narrow it
to those cases where VZEXT_MOVL won't need a shuffle afterward and thus
will do better than INSERTPS. Then we try blending. Then we go back to
INSERTPS.
This still doesn't generate perfect code for some silly reasons that can
be fixed by tweaking the td files for lowering VZEXT_MOVL to use
XORPS+BLENDPS when available rather than XORPS+MOVSS when the input ends
up in a register rather than a load from memory -- BLENDPSrr has twice
the reciprocal throughput of MOVSSrr. Don't you love this ISA?

lowering to support both anyext and zext and to custom lower for many
different microarchitectures.
Using this allows us to get *exactly* the right code for zext and anyext
shuffles in all the vector sizes. For v16i8, the improvement is *huge*.
The new SSE2 test case added I refused to add before this because it was
sooooo muny instructions.
llvm-svn: 218143
shuffles that are zext-ing.
Not a lot to see here; the undef lane variant is better handled with
pshufd, but this improves the actual zext pattern.
llvm-svn: 218112
There is no purpose in using it for single-input shuffles as
pshufd is just as fast and doesn't tie the two operands. This removes
a substantial amount of wrong-domain blend operations in SSSE3 mode. It
also completes the usage of PALIGNR for integer shuffles and addresses
one of the test cases Quentin hit with the new vector shuffle lowering.
There is still the question of whether and when to use this for floating
point shuffles. It is faster than shufps or shufpd but in the integer
domain. I don't yet really have a good heuristic here for when to use
this instruction for floating point vectors.
llvm-svn: 218038
missing specific checks.
While there is a lot of redundancy here where all-but-one mode use the
same code generation, I'd rather have each variant spelled out and
checked so that readers aren't misled by an omission in the test suite.
llvm-svn: 217765
instructions from the relevant shuffle patterns.
This is the last tweak I'm aware of to generate essentially perfect
v4f32 and v2f64 shuffles with the new vector shuffle lowering up through
SSE4.1. I'm sure I've missed some and it'd be nice to check since v4f32
is amenable to exhaustive exploration, but this is all of the tricks I'm
aware of.
With AVX there is a new trick to use the VPERMILPS instruction, that's
coming up in a subsequent patch.
llvm-svn: 217761
instructions when it finds an appropriate pattern.
These are lovely instructions, and its a shame to not use them. =] They
are fast, and can hand loads folded into their operands, etc.
I've also plumbed the comment shuffle decoding through the various
layers so that the test cases are printed nicely.
llvm-svn: 217758
These are super simple. They even take precedence over crazy
instructions like INSERTPS because they have very high throughput on
modern x86 chips.
I still have to teach the integer shuffle variants about this to avoid
so many domain crossings. However, due to the particular instructions
available, that's a touch more complex and so a separate patch.
Also, the backend doesn't seem to realize it can commute blend
instructions by negating the mask. That would help remove a number of
copies here. Suggestions on how to do this welcome, it's an area I'm
less familiar with.
llvm-svn: 217744
vzext patterns and insert-element patterns that for SSE4 have dedicated
instructions.
With this we can enable the experimental mode in a regression test that
happens to cover some of the past set of issues. You can see that the
new logic does significantly better here on the floating point cases.
A follow-up to this change and the previous ones will hoist the logic
into helpers so it can be shared across element type sizes as in this
particular case it generalizes cleanly.
llvm-svn: 217136
abilities of INSERTPS which are really powerful and come up in very
important contexts such as forming diagonal matrices, etc.
With this I ended up being able to remove the somewhat weird helper
I added for INSERTPS because we can collapse the entire state to a no-op
mask. Added a bunch of tests for inserting into a zero-ish vector.
llvm-svn: 217117
'insertps' patterns.
This replaces two shuffles with a single insertps in very common cases.
My next patch will extend this to leverage the zeroing capabilities of
insertps which will allow it to be used in a much wider set of cases.

target-specific shuffl DAG combines.
We were recognizing the paired shuffles backwards. This code needs to be
replaced anyways as we have the same functionality elsewhere, but I'll
do the refactoring in a follow-up, this is the minimal fix to the
behavior.
In addition to fixing miscompiles with the new vector shuffle lowering,
it also causes the canonicalization to kick in much better, selecting
the smaller encoding variants in lots of places in the new AVX path.
This still isn't quite ideal as we don't need both the shufpd and the
punpck instructions, but that'll get fixed in a follow-up patch.
llvm-svn: 215690
fuzz testing.
The function which tested for adjacency did what it said on the tin, but
when I called it, I wanted it to do something more thorough: I wanted to
know if the *pairs* of shuffle elements were adjacent and started at
0 mod 2. In one place I had the decency to try to test for this, but in
the other it was completely skipped, miscompiling this test case. Fix
this by making the helper actually do what I wanted it to do everywhere
I called it (and removing the now redundant code in one place).
I *really* dislike the name "canWidenShuffleElements" for this
predicate. If anyone can come up with a better name, please let me know.
The other name I thought about was "canWidenShuffleMask" but is it
really widening the mask to reduce the number of lanes shuffled? I don't
know. Naming things is hard.
llvm-svn: 215089
lowering.
For maximum irony, I had already discovered this bug, diagnosed it, and
left FIXMEs about it in the test cases. =[ I just failed to go back over
those until after i had reduced a bootstrap miscompile down to a single
TU, stared at the assembly for an hour, and figured out the bug. Again.
Oh well.

x86 backend.
This sketches out a new code path for vector lowering, hidden behind an
off-by-default flag while it is under development. The fundamental idea
behind the new code path is to aggressively break down the problem space
in ways that ease selecting the odd set of instructions available on
x86, and carefully avoid scalarizing code even when forced to use older
ISAs. Notably, this starts off restricting itself to SSE2 and implements
the complete vector shuffle and blend space for 128-bit vectors in SSE2
without scalarizing. The plan is to layer on top of this ISA extensions
where we can bail out of the complex SSE2 lowering and opt for
a cheaper, specialized instruction (or set of instructions). It also
needs to be generalized to AVX and AVX512 vector widths.
Currently, this does a decent but not perfect job for SSE2. There are
some specific shortcomings that I plan to address:
- We need a peephole combine to fold together shuffles where possible.
There are cases where a previous shuffle could be modified slightly to
arrange for elements to be in the correct position and a later shuffle
eliminated. Doing this eagerly added quite a bit of complexity, and
so my plan is to combine away these redundancies afterward.
- There are a lot more clever ways to use unpck and pack that need to be
added. This is essential for real world shuffles as it turns out...
Once SSE2 is polished a bit I should be able to get interesting numbers
on performance improvements on benchmarks conducive to vectorization.
All of this will be off by default until it is functionally equivalent
of course.
