a bunch more improvements.
Non-lane-crossing is fine, the key is that lane merging only makes sense
for single-input shuffles. Not sure why I got so turned around here. The
code all works, I was just using the wrong model for it.
This only updates v4 and v8 lowering. The v16 and v32 lowering requires
restructuring the entire check sequence.

lanes.
By special casing these we can often either reduce the total number of
shuffles significantly or reduce the number of (high latency on Haswell)
AVX2 shuffles that potentially cross 128-bit lanes. Even when these
don't actually cross lanes, they have much higher latency to support
that. Doing two of them and a blend is worse than doing a single insert
across the 128-bit lanes to blend and then doing a single interleaved
shuffle.
While this seems like a narrow case, it kept cropping up on me and the
difference is *huge* as you can see in many of the test cases. I first
hit this trying to perfectly fix the interleaving shuffle patterns used
by Halide for AVX2.
llvm-svn: 222533
in-lane shuffles that aren't always handled well by the current vector
shuffle lowering.
No functionality change yet, that will follow in a subsequent commit.

between splitting a vector into 128-bit lanes and recombining them vs.
decomposing things into single-input shuffles and a final blend.
This handles a large number of cases in AVX1 where the cross-lane
shuffles would be much more expensive to represent even though we end up
with a fast blend at the root. Instead, we can do a better job of
shuffling in a single lane and then inserting it into the other lanes.
This fixes the remaining bits of Halide's regression captured in PR21281
for AVX1. However, the bug persists in AVX2 because I've made this
change reasonably conservative. The cases where it makes sense in AVX2
to split into 128-bit lanes are much more rare because we can often do
full permutations across all elements of the 256-bit vector. However,
the particular test case in PR21281 is an example of one of the rare
cases where it is *always* better to work in a single 128-bit lane. I'm
going to try to teach the logic to detect and form the good code even in
AVX2 next, but it will need to use a separate heuristic.
Finally, there is one pesky regression here where we previously would
craftily use vpermilps in AVX1 to shuffle both high and low halves at
the same time. We no longer pull that off, and not for any really good
reason. Ultimately, I think this is just another missing nuance to the
selection heuristic that I'll try to add in afterward, but this change
already seems strictly worth doing considering the magnitude of the
improvements in common matrix math shuffle patterns.
As always, please let me know if this causes a surprising regression for
you.

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.

VPBROADCAST.
This has the somewhat expected pervasive impact. I don't know why
I forgot about this. Everything seems good with lots of significant
improvements in the tests.
llvm-svn: 218724
shuffle tests to match that used in the script I posted and now used
consistently in 128-bit tests.
Nothing interesting changing here, just using the label name as the
FileCheck label and a slightly more general comment marker consumption
strategy.

layer of tie-breaking sorting, it really helps to check that you're in
a tie first. =] Otherwise the whole thing cycles infinitely. Test case
added, another one found through fuzz testing.

AVX support.
New test cases included. Note that none of the existing test cases
covered these buggy code paths. =/ Also, it is clear from this that
SHUFPS and SHUFPD are the most bug prone shuffle instructions in x86. =[
These were all detected by fuzz-testing. (I <3 fuzz testing.)
llvm-svn: 218522
v4f64 and v8f32 shuffles when they are lane-crossing. We have fully
general lane-crossing permutation functions in AVX2 that make this easy.
Part of this also changes exactly when and how these vectors are split
up when we don't have AVX2. This isn't always a win but it usually is
a win, so on the balance I think its better. The primary regressions are
all things that just need to be fixed anyways such as modeling when
a blend can be completely accomplished via VINSERTF128, etc.
Also, this highlights one of the few remaining big features: we do
a really poor job of inserting elements into AVX registers efficiently.
This completes almost all of the big tricks I have in mind for AVX2. The
only things left that I plan to add:
1) element insertion smarts
2) palignr and other fairly specialized lowerings when they happen to
apply

256-bit vectors with lane-crossing.
Rather than immediately decomposing to 128-bit vectors, try flipping the
256-bit vector lanes, shuffling them and blending them together. This
reduces our worst case shuffle by a pretty significant margin across the
board.
llvm-svn: 218446
lowering where it only used the mask of the low 128-bit lane rather than
the entire mask.
This allows the new lowering to correctly match the unpack patterns for
v8i32 vectors.
For reference, the reason that we check for the the entire mask rather
than checking the repeated mask is because the repeated masks don't
abide by all of the invariants of normal masks. As a consequence, it is
safer to use the full mask with functions like the generic equivalence
test.
llvm-svn: 218442
pool data being loaded into a vector register.
The comments take the form of:
# ymm0 = [a,b,c,d,...]
# xmm1 = <x,y,z...>
The []s are used for generic sequential data and the <>s are used for
specifically ConstantVector loads. Undef elements are printed as the
letter 'u', integers in decimal, and floating point values as floating
point values. Suggestions on improving the formatting or other aspects
of the display are very welcome.
My primary use case for this is to be able to FileCheck test masks
passed to vector shuffle instructions in-register. It isn't fantastic
for that (no decoding special zeroing semantics or other tricks), but it
at least puts the mask onto an instruction line that could reasonably be
checked. I've updated many of the new vector shuffle lowering tests to
leverage this in their test cases so that we're actually checking the
shuffle masks remain as expected.
Before implementing this, I tried a *bunch* of different approaches.
I looked into teaching the MCInstLower code to scan up the basic block
and find a definition of a register used in a shuffle instruction and
then decode that, but this seems incredibly brittle and complex.
I talked to Hal a lot about the "right" way to do this: attach the raw
shuffle mask to the instruction itself in some form of unencoded
operands, and then use that to emit the comments. I still think that's
the optimal solution here, but it proved to be beyond what I'm up for
here. In particular, it seems likely best done by completing the
plumbing of metadata through these layers and attaching the shuffle mask
in metadata which could have fully automatic dropping when encoding an
actual instruction.
llvm-svn: 218377
the native AVX2 instructions.
Note that the test case is really frustrating here because VPERMD
requires the mask to be in the register input and we don't produce
a comment looking through that to the constant pool. I'm going to
attempt to improve this in a subsequent commit, but not sure if I will
succeed.
llvm-svn: 218347
shuffles using the AVX2 instructions. This is the first step of cutting
in real AVX2 support.
Note that I have spotted at least one bug in the test cases already, but
I suspect it was already present and just is getting surfaced. Will
investigate next.
llvm-svn: 218338
undef in the shuffle mask. This shows up when we're printing comments
during lowering and we still have an IR-level constant hanging around
that models undef.
A nice consequence of this is *much* prettier test cases where the undef
lanes actually show up as undef rather than as a particular set of
values. This also allows us to print shuffle comments in cases that use
undef such as the recently added variable VPERMILPS lowering. Now those
test cases have nice shuffle comments attached with their details.
The shuffle lowering for PSHUFB has been augmented to use undef, and the
shuffle combining has been augmented to comprehend it.
llvm-svn: 218301
trick that I missed.
VPERMILPS has a non-immediate memory operand mode that allows it to do
asymetric shuffles in the two 128-bit lanes. Use this rather than two
shuffles and a blend.
However, it turns out the variable shuffle path to VPERMILPS (and
VPERMILPD, although that one offers no functional differenc from the
immediate operand other than variability) wasn't even plumbed through
codegen. Do such plumbing so that we can reasonably emit
a variable-masked VPERMILP instruction. Also plumb basic comment parsing
and printing through so that the tests are reasonable.
There are still a few tests which don't show the shuffle pattern. These
are tests with undef lanes. I'll teach the shuffle decoding and printing
to handle undef mask entries in a follow-up. I've looked at the masks
and they seem reasonable.
llvm-svn: 218300
These are just test cases, no actual code yet. This establishes the
baseline fallback strategy we're starting from on AVX2 and the expected
lowering we use on AVX1.
Also, these test cases are very much generated. I've manually crafted
the specific pattern set that I'm hoping will be useful at exercising
the lowering code, but I've not (and could not) manually verify *all* of
these. I've spot checked and they seem legit to me.
As with the rest of vector shuffling, at a certain point the only really
useful way to check the correctness of this stuff is through fuzz
testing.
llvm-svn: 218267
input v8f32 shuffles which are not 128-bit lane crossing but have
different shuffle patterns in the low and high lanes. This removes most
of the extract/insert traffic that was unnecessary and is particularly
good at lowering cases where only one of the two lanes is shuffled at
all.
I've also added a collection of test cases with undef lanes because this
lowering is somewhat more sensitive to undef lanes than others.
llvm-svn: 218226
in the high and low 128-bit lanes of a v8f32 vector.
No functionality change yet, but wanted to set up the baseline for my
next patch which will make these quite a bit better. =]
llvm-svn: 218224
lowering when it can use a symmetric SHUFPS across both 128-bit lanes.
This required making the SHUFPS lowering tolerant of other vector types,
and adjusting our canonicalization to canonicalize harder.
This is the last of the clever uses of symmetry I've thought of for
v8f32. The rest of the tricks I'm aware of here are to work around
assymetry in the mask.
llvm-svn: 218216
UNPCKHPS with AVX vectors by recognizing those patterns when they are
repeated for both 128-bit lanes.
With this, we now generate the exact same (really nice) code for
Quentin's avx_test_case.ll which was the most significant regression
reported for the new shuffle lowering. In fact, I'm out of specific test
cases for AVX lowering, the rest were AVX2 I think. However, there are
a bunch of pretty obvious remaining things to improve with AVX...
llvm-svn: 218213
important bits of cleverness: to detect and lower repeated shuffle
patterns between the two 128-bit lanes with a single instruction.
This patch just teaches it how to lower single-input shuffles that fit
this model using VPERMILPS. =] There is more that needs to happen here.
llvm-svn: 218211
generating the test cases to format things more consistently and
actually catch all the operand sequences that should be elided in favor
of the asm comments. No actual changes here.
llvm-svn: 218210
actual support for complex AVX shuffling tricks. We can do independent
blends of the low and high 128-bit lanes of an avx vector, so shuffle
the inputs into place and then do the blend at 256 bits. This will in
many cases remove one blend instruction.
The next step is to permute the low and high halves in-place rather than
extracting them and re-inserting them.
llvm-svn: 218202
under AVX.
This really just documents the current state of the world. I'm going to
try to flesh it out to cover any test cases I plan to improve prior to
improving them so that the delta made by changes is actually visible to
code reviewers.
This is made easier by the fact that I now have a script to automate the
process of producing test cases including the check lines. =]
