Currently we have a number of tests that fail with -verify-machineinstrs.
To detect this cases earlier we add the option to the testcases with the
exception of tests that will currently fail with this option. PR 27456 keeps
track of this failures.
No code review, as discussed with Hal Finkel.

This patch allows VSX swap optimization to succeed more frequently.
Specifically, it is concerned with common code sequences that occur
when copying a scalar floating-point value to a vector register. This
patch currently handles cases where the floating-point value is
already in a register, but does not yet handle loads (such as via an
LXSDX scalar floating-point VSX load). That will be dealt with later.
A typical case is when a scalar value comes in as a floating-point
parameter. The value is copied into a virtual VSFRC register, and
then a sequence of SUBREG_TO_REG and/or COPY operations will convert
it to a full vector register of the class required by the context. If
this vector register is then used as part of a lane-permuted
computation, the original scalar value will be in the wrong lane. We
can fix this by adding a swap operation following any widening
SUBREG_TO_REG operation. Additional COPY operations may be needed
around the swap operation in order to keep register assignment happy,
but these are pro forma operations that will be removed by coalescing.
If a scalar value is otherwise directly referenced in a computation
(such as by one of the many XS* vector-scalar operations), we
currently disable swap optimization. These operations are
lane-sensitive by definition. A MentionsPartialVR flag is added for
use in each swap table entry that mentions a scalar floating-point
register without having special handling defined.
A common idiom for PPC64LE is to convert a double-precision scalar to
a vector by performing a splat operation. This ensures that the value
can be referenced as V[0], as it would be for big endian, whereas just
converting the scalar to a vector with a SUBREG_TO_REG operation
leaves this value only in V[1]. A doubleword splat operation is one
form of an XXPERMDI instruction, which takes one doubleword from a
first operand and another doubleword from a second operand, with a
two-bit selector operand indicating which doublewords are chosen. In
the general case, an XXPERMDI can be permitted in a lane-swapped
region provided that it is properly transformed to select the
corresponding swapped values. This transformation is to reverse the
order of the two input operands, and to reverse and complement the
bits of the selector operand (derivation left as an exercise to the
reader ;).
A new test case that exercises the scalar-to-vector and generalized
XXPERMDI transformations is added as CodeGen/PowerPC/swaps-le-5.ll.
The patch also requires a change to CodeGen/PowerPC/swaps-le-3.ll to
use CHECK-DAG instead of CHECK for two independent instructions that
now appear in reverse order.
There are two small unrelated changes that are added with this patch.
First, the XXSLDWI instruction was incorrectly omitted from the list
of lane-sensitive instructions; this is now fixed. Second, I observed
that the same webs were being rejected over and over again for
different reasons. Since it's sufficient to reject a web only once, I
added a check for this to speed up the compilation time slightly.

With a previous patch, the VSX swap optimization is able to recognize
the doubleword load-splat idiom that can be implemented using lxvdsx.
However, that does not cover a doubleword splat where the source is a
register. We can implement this using xxspltd (a special form of
xxpermdi). This patch teaches the swap optimization pass about this
idiom.
As a prerequisite, it also permits swap optimization to succeed for
all forms of SUBREG_TO_REG. Previously we were conservative and only
allowed SUBREG_TO_REG when it copied a full register. However, on
reflection any form of SUBREG_TO_REG is safe in and of itself, so long
as an unsafe operation is not performed on its result. In particular,
a widening SUBREG_TO_REG often occurs as an input to a doubleword
splat idiom, particularly in auto-vectorized code.
The doubleword splat idiom is an XXPERMDI operation where both source
registers are identical, and the selection mask is either 0 (splat the
first element) or 3 (splat the second element). To determine whether
the registers are identical, we use the existing mechanism for looking
through "copy-like" operations. That mechanism has a side effect of
marking the XXPERMDI operation as using a physical register, which
would invalidate its presence in a swap-optimized region. This is
correct for the form of XXPERMDI that performs a swap and hence would
be removed, but is not what we want for a doubleword-splat variety of
XXPERMDI. Therefore we reset the physical-register flag on the
XXPERMDI when it represents a splat.
A simple test case is added to verify that we generate the splat and
that we also remove the xxswapd instructions that would otherwise be
associated with the load and store of another operand.
