This patch extends the optimization in CodeGenPrepare that moves a sign/zero
extension near a load when the target can combine them. The optimization may
promote any operations between the extension and the load to make that possible.
Although this optimization may be beneficial for all targets, in particular
AArch64, this is enabled for X86 only as I have not benchmarked it for other
targets yet.
** Context **
Most targets feature extended loads, i.e., loads that perform a zero or sign
extension for free. In that context it is interesting to expose such pattern in
CodeGenPrepare so that the instruction selection pass can form such loads.
Sometimes, this pattern is blocked because of instructions between the load and
the extension. When those instructions are promotable to the extended type, we
can expose this pattern.
** Motivating Example **
Let us consider an example:
define void @foo(i8* %addr1, i32* %addr2, i8 %a, i32 %b) {
%ld = load i8* %addr1
%zextld = zext i8 %ld to i32
%ld2 = load i32* %addr2
%add = add nsw i32 %ld2, %zextld
%sextadd = sext i32 %add to i64
%zexta = zext i8 %a to i32
%addza = add nsw i32 %zexta, %zextld
%sextaddza = sext i32 %addza to i64
%addb = add nsw i32 %b, %zextld
%sextaddb = sext i32 %addb to i64
call void @dummy(i64 %sextadd, i64 %sextaddza, i64 %sextaddb)
ret void
}
As it is, this IR generates the following assembly on x86_64:
[...]
movzbl (%rdi), %eax # zero-extended load
movl (%rsi), %es # plain load
addl %eax, %esi # 32-bit add
movslq %esi, %rdi # sign extend the result of add
movzbl %dl, %edx # zero extend the first argument
addl %eax, %edx # 32-bit add
movslq %edx, %rsi # sign extend the result of add
addl %eax, %ecx # 32-bit add
movslq %ecx, %rdx # sign extend the result of add
[...]
The throughput of this sequence is 7.45 cycles on Ivy Bridge according to IACA.
Now, by promoting the additions to form more extended loads we would generate:
[...]
movzbl (%rdi), %eax # zero-extended load
movslq (%rsi), %rdi # sign-extended load
addq %rax, %rdi # 64-bit add
movzbl %dl, %esi # zero extend the first argument
addq %rax, %rsi # 64-bit add
movslq %ecx, %rdx # sign extend the second argument
addq %rax, %rdx # 64-bit add
[...]
The throughput of this sequence is 6.15 cycles on Ivy Bridge according to IACA.
This kind of sequences happen a lot on code using 32-bit indexes on 64-bit
architectures.
Note: The throughput numbers are similar on Sandy Bridge and Haswell.
** Proposed Solution **
To avoid the penalty of all these sign/zero extensions, we merge them in the
loads at the beginning of the chain of computation by promoting all the chain of
computation on the extended type. The promotion is done if and only if we do not
introduce new extensions, i.e., if we do not degrade the code quality.
To achieve this, we extend the existing “move ext to load” optimization with the
promotion mechanism introduced to match larger patterns for addressing mode
(r200947).
The idea of this extension is to perform the following transformation:
ext(promotableInst1(...(promotableInstN(load))))
=>
promotedInst1(...(promotedInstN(ext(load))))
The promotion mechanism in that optimization is enabled by a new TargetLowering
switch, which is off by default. In other words, by default, the optimization
performs the “move ext to load” optimization as it was before this patch.
** Performance **
Configuration: x86_64: Ivy Bridge fixed at 2900MHz running OS X 10.10.
Tested Optimization Levels: O3/Os
Tests: llvm-testsuite + externals.
Results:
- No regression beside noise.
- Improvements:
CINT2006/473.astar: ~2%
Benchmarks/PAQ8p: ~2%
Misc/perlin: ~3%
The results are consistent for both O3 and Os.

On X86, the Intel asm parser tries to match all memory operand sizes when
none is explicitly specified. For LEA, which doesn't really have a memory
operand (just a pointer one), this results in multiple successful matches,
one for each memory size. There's no error because it's same opcode, so
really, it's just one match. However, the tablegen'd matcher function
adds opcode/operands to the passed MCInst, and this results in multiple
duplicated operands.
This commit clears the MCInst in the tablegen'd matcher function.
We sometimes clear it when the match failed, so there's no expectation of
keeping the previous content anyway.

This is a fix for PR21709 ( http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21709 ).
When we have 2 consecutive 16-byte loads that are merged into one 32-byte vector,
we can use a single 32-byte load instead.
But we don't do this for SandyBridge / IvyBridge because they have slower 32-byte memops.
We also don't bother using 32-byte *integer* loads on a machine that only has AVX1 (btver2)
because those operands would have to be split in half anyway since there is no support for
32-byte integer math ops.

The PowerPC backend, somewhat embarrassingly, did not generate an
optimal-length sequence of instructions for a 32-bit bswap. While adding a
pattern for the bswap intrinsic to fix this would not have been terribly
difficult, doing so would not have addressed the real problem: we had been
generating poor code for many bit-permuting operations (by which I mean things
like byte-swap that permute the bits of one or more inputs around in various
ways). Here are some initial steps toward solving this deficiency.
Bit-permuting operations are represented, at the SDAG level, using ISD::ROTL,
SHL, SRL, AND and OR (mostly with constant second operands). Looking back
through these operations, we can build up a description of the bits in the
resulting value in terms of bits of one or more input values (and constant
zeros). For each bit, we compute the rotation amount from the original value,
and then group consecutive (value, rotation factor) bits into groups. Groups
sharing these attributes are then collected and sorted, and we can then
instruction select the entire permutation using a combination of masked
rotations (rlwinm), imm ands (andi/andis), and masked rotation inserts
(rlwimi).
The result is that instead of lowering an i32 bswap as:
rlwinm 5, 3, 24, 16, 23
rlwinm 4, 3, 24, 0, 7
rlwimi 4, 3, 8, 8, 15
rlwimi 5, 3, 8, 24, 31
rlwimi 4, 5, 0, 16, 31
we now produce:
rlwinm 4, 3, 8, 0, 31
rlwimi 4, 3, 24, 16, 23
rlwimi 4, 3, 24, 0, 7
and for the 'test6' example in the PowerPC/README.txt file:
unsigned test6(unsigned x) {
return ((x & 0x00FF0000) >> 16) | ((x & 0x000000FF) << 16);
}
we used to produce:
lis 4, 255
rlwinm 3, 3, 16, 0, 31
ori 4, 4, 255
and 3, 3, 4
and now we produce:
rlwinm 4, 3, 16, 24, 31
rlwimi 4, 3, 16, 8, 15
and, as a nice bonus, this fixes the FIXME in
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/rlwimi-and.ll.
This commit does not include instruction-selection for i64 operations, those
will come later.

Debug info marks the first instruction without the FrameSetup flag
as being the end of the function prologue. Any CFI instructions in the
middle of the function prologue would cause debug info to end the prologue
too early and worse, attach the line number of the CFI instruction, which
incidentally is often 0.

Summary: x86 allows either ordering for the LOCK and DATA16 prefixes, but using GCC+GAS leads to different code generation than using LLVM. This change matches the order that GAS emits the x86 prefixes when a semicolon isn't used in inline assembly (see tc-i386.c comment before define LOCK_PREFIX), and helps simplify tooling that operates on the instruction's byte sequence (such as NaCl's validator). This change shouldn't have any performance impact.

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}

PPCTargetLowering::DAGCombineExtBoolTrunc contains logic to remove unwanted
truncations and extensions when dealing with nodes of the form:
zext(binary-ops(binary-ops(trunc(x), trunc(y)), ...)
There was a FIXME in the implementation (now removed) regarding the fact that
the function would abort the transformations if any of the non-output operands
of a SELECT or SELECT_CC node would need to be promoted (because they were
also output operands, for example). As a result, we continued to generate
unnecessary zero-extends for code such as this:
unsigned foo(unsigned a, unsigned b) {
return (a <= b) ? a : b;
}
which would produce:
cmplw 0, 3, 4
isel 3, 4, 3, 1
rldicl 3, 3, 0, 32
blr
and now we produce:
cmplw 0, 3, 4
isel 3, 4, 3, 1
blr
which is better in the obvious way.

r223862 tried to also combine base-updating load/stores.
r224198 reverted it, as "it created a regression on the test-suite
on test MultiSource/Benchmarks/Ptrdist/anagram by scrambling the order
in which the words are shown."
Reapply, with a fix to ignore non-normal load/stores.
Truncstores are handled elsewhere (you can actually write a pattern for
those, whereas for postinc loads you can't, since they return two values),
but it should be possible to also combine extloads base updates, by checking
that the memory (rather than result) type is of the same size as the addend.
Original commit message:
We used to only combine intrinsics, and turn them into VLD1_UPD/VST1_UPD
when the base pointer is incremented after the load/store.
We can do the same thing for generic load/stores.
Note that we can only combine the first load/store+adds pair in
a sequence (as might be generated for a v16f32 load for instance),
because other combines turn the base pointer addition chain (each
computing the address of the next load, from the address of the last
load) into independent additions (common base pointer + this load's
offset).

On PPC64, we end up with lots of i32 -> i64 zero extensions, not only from all
of the usual places, but also from the ABI, which specifies that values passed
are zero extended. Almost all 32-bit PPC instructions in PPC64 mode are defined
to do *something* to the higher-order bits, and for some instructions, that
action clears those bits (thus providing a zero-extended result). This is
especially common after rotate-and-mask instructions. Adding an additional
instruction to zero-extend the results of these instructions is unnecessary.
This PPCISelDAGToDAG peephole optimization examines these zero-extensions, and
looks back through their operands to see if all instructions will implicitly
zero extend their results. If so, we convert these instructions to their 64-bit
variants (which is an internal change only, the actual encoding of these
instructions is the same as the original 32-bit ones) and remove the
unnecessary zero-extension (changing where the INSERT_SUBREG instructions are
to make everything internally consistent).
