Summary:
Targets often have instructions that can sign-extend certain cases faster
than the equivalent shift-left/arithmetic-shift-right. Such cases can be
identified by matching a shift-left/shift-right pair but there are some
issues with this in the context of combines. For example, suppose you can
sign-extend 8-bit up to 32-bit with a target extend instruction.
%1:_(s32) = G_SHL %0:_(s32), i32 24 # (I've inlined the G_CONSTANT for brevity)
%2:_(s32) = G_ASHR %1:_(s32), i32 24
%3:_(s32) = G_ASHR %2:_(s32), i32 1
would reasonably combine to:
%1:_(s32) = G_SHL %0:_(s32), i32 24
%2:_(s32) = G_ASHR %1:_(s32), i32 25
which no longer matches the special case. If your shifts and extend are
equal cost, this would break even as a pair of shifts but if your shift is
more expensive than the extend then it's cheaper as:
%2:_(s32) = G_SEXT_INREG %0:_(s32), i32 8
%3:_(s32) = G_ASHR %2:_(s32), i32 1
It's possible to match the shift-pair in ISel and emit an extend and ashr.
However, this is far from the only way to break this shift pair and make
it hard to match the extends. Another example is that with the right
known-zeros, this:
%1:_(s32) = G_SHL %0:_(s32), i32 24
%2:_(s32) = G_ASHR %1:_(s32), i32 24
%3:_(s32) = G_MUL %2:_(s32), i32 2
can become:
%1:_(s32) = G_SHL %0:_(s32), i32 24
%2:_(s32) = G_ASHR %1:_(s32), i32 23
All upstream targets have been configured to lower it to the current
G_SHL,G_ASHR pair but will likely want to make it legal in some cases to
handle their faster cases.
To follow-up: Provide a way to legalize based on the constant. At the
moment, I'm thinking that the best way to achieve this is to provide the
MI in LegalityQuery but that opens the door to breaking core principles
of the legalizer (legality is not context sensitive). That said, it's
worth noting that looking at other instructions and acting on that
information doesn't violate this principle in itself. It's only a
violation if, at the end of legalization, a pass that checks legality
without being able to see the context would say an instruction might not be
legal. That's a fairly subtle distinction so to give a concrete example,
saying %2 in:
%1 = G_CONSTANT 16
%2 = G_SEXT_INREG %0, %1
is legal is in violation of that principle if the legality of %2 depends
on %1 being constant and/or being 16. However, legalizing to either:
%2 = G_SEXT_INREG %0, 16
or:
%1 = G_CONSTANT 16
%2:_(s32) = G_SHL %0, %1
%3:_(s32) = G_ASHR %2, %1
depending on whether %1 is constant and 16 does not violate that principle
since both outputs are genuinely legal.

There are two main issues preventing us from generating immediate form shifts:
1) We have partial SelectionDAG imported support for G_ASHR and G_LSHR shift
immediate forms, but they currently don't work because the amount type is
expected to be an s64 constant, but we only legalize them to have homogenous
types.
To deal with this, first we introduce a custom legalizer to *only* custom legalize
s32 shifts which have a constant operand into a s64.
There is also an additional artifact combiner to fold zexts(g_constant) to a
larger G_CONSTANT if it's legal, a counterpart to the anyext version committed
in an earlier patch.
2) For G_SHL the importer can't cope with the pattern. For this I introduced an
early selection phase in the arm64 selector to select these forms manually
before the tablegen selector pessimizes it to a register-register variant.

Other opcodes shouldn't be CSE'd until we can be sure debug info quality won't
be degraded.
This change also improves the IRTranslator so that in most places, but not all,
it creates constants using the MIRBuilder directly instead of first creating a
new destination vreg and then creating a constant. By doing this, the
buildConstant() method can just return the vreg of an existing G_CONSTANT
instead of having to create a COPY from it.
I measured a 0.2% improvement in compile time and a 0.9% improvement in code
size at -O0 ARM64.

Now add a hook in TargetPassConfig to query if CSE needs to be
enabled. By default this hook returns false only for O0 opt level but
this can be overridden by the target.
As a consequence of the default of enabled for non O0, a few tests
needed to be updated to not use CSE (by passing in -O0) to the run
line.

As Roman Tereshin pointed out in https://reviews.llvm.org/D45541, the
-global-isel option is redundant when -run-pass is given. -global-isel sets up
the GlobalISel passes in the pass manager but -run-pass skips that entirely and
configures it's own pipeline.

In preparation for adding support for named vregs we are changing the sigil for
physical registers in MIR to '$' from '%'. This will prevent name clashes of
named physical register with named vregs.
llvm-svn: 323922
Planning to add support for named vregs. This puts is in a conundrum since
physregs are named as well. To rectify this we need to use a sigil other than
'%' for physregs in MIR. We've settled on using '$' for physregs but first we
must repurpose it from external symbols using it, which is what this commit is
all about. We think '&' will have familiar semantics for C/C++ users.

artifacts along with DCE
Legalization Artifacts are all those insts that are there to make the
type system happy. Currently, the target needs to say all combinations
of extends and truncs are legal and there's no way of verifying that
post legalization, we only have *truly* legal instructions. This patch
changes roughly the legalization algorithm to process all illegal insts
at one go, and then process all truncs/extends that were added to
satisfy the type constraints separately trying to combine trivial cases
until they converge. This has the added benefit that, the target
legalizerinfo can only say which truncs and extends are okay and the
artifact combiner would combine away other exts and truncs.
Updated legalization algorithm to roughly the following pseudo code.
WorkList Insts, Artifacts;
collect_all_insts_and_artifacts(Insts, Artifacts);
do {
for (Inst in Insts)
legalizeInstrStep(Inst, Insts, Artifacts);
for (Artifact in Artifacts)
tryCombineArtifact(Artifact, Insts, Artifacts);
} while(!Insts.empty());
Also, wrote a simple wrapper equivalent to SetVector, except for
erasing, it avoids moving all elements over by one and instead just
nulls them out.

This updates the MIRPrinter to include the regclass when printing
virtual register defs, which is already valid syntax for the
parser. That is, given 64 bit %0 and %1 in a "gpr" regbank,
%1(s64) = COPY %0(s64)
would now be written as
%1:gpr(s64) = COPY %0(s64)
While this change alone introduces a bit of redundancy with the
registers block, it allows us to update the tests to be more concise
and understandable and brings us closer to being able to remove the
registers block completely.
Note: We generally only print the class in defs, but there is one
exception. If there are uses without any defs whatsoever, we'll print
the class on all uses. I'm not completely convinced this comes up in
meaningful machine IR, but for now the MIRParser and MachineVerifier
both accept that kind of stuff, so we don't want to have a situation
where we can print something we can't parse.

Since r279760, we've been marking as legal operations on narrow integer
types that have wider legal equivalents (for instance, G_ADD s8).
Compared to legalizing these operations, this reduced the amount of
extends/truncates required, but was always a weird legalization decision
made at selection time.
So far, we haven't been able to formalize it in a way that permits the
selector generated from SelectionDAG patterns to be sufficient.
Using a wide instruction (say, s64), when a narrower instruction exists
(s32) would introduce register class incompatibilities (when one narrow
generic instruction is selected to the wider variant, but another is
selected to the narrower variant).
It's also impractical to limit which narrow operations are matched for
which instruction, as restricting "narrow selection" to ranges of types
clashes with potentially incompatible instruction predicates.
Concerns were also raised regarding MIPS64's sign-extended register
assumptions, as well as wrapping behavior.
See discussions in https://reviews.llvm.org/D26878.
Instead, legalize the operations.
Should we ever revert to selecting these narrow operations, we should
try to represent this more accurately: for instance, by separating
a "concrete" type on operations, and an "underlying" type on vregs, we
could move the "this narrow-looking op is really legal" decision to the
legalizer, and let the selector use the "underlying" vreg type only,
which would be guaranteed to map to a register class.
In any case, we eventually should mitigate:
- the performance impact by selecting no-op extract/truncates to COPYs
(which we currently do), and the COPYs to register reuses (which we
don't do yet).
- the compile-time impact by optimizing away extract/truncate sequences
in the legalizer.

The previous names were both misleading (the MachineLegalizer actually
contained the info tables) and inconsistent with the selector & translator (in
having a "Machine") prefix. This should make everything sensible again.
The only functional change is the name of a couple of command-line options.

Mostly this just means changing the triple from aarch64-apple-ios to the generic
aarch64--. Only one test needs more significant changes, but GlobalISel already
does the right thing so it's ok to just change the checks.

We want each register to have a canonical type, which means the best place to
store this is in MachineRegisterInfo rather than on every MachineInstr that
happens to use or define that register.
Most changes following from this are pretty simple (you need an MRI anyway if
you're going to be doing any transformations, so just check the type there).
But legalization doesn't really want to check redundant operands (when, for
example, a G_ADD only ever has one type) so I've made use of MCInstrDesc's
operand type field to encode these constraints and limit legalization's work.
As an added bonus, more validation is possible, both in MachineVerifier and
MachineIRBuilder (coming soon).
llvm-svn: 281035
More preparation for dropping source types from MachineInstrs: regsters coming
out of already-selected code (i.e. non-generic instructions) don't have a type,
but that information is needed so we must add it manually.
This is done via a new G_TYPE instruction.
