This patch removes hidden codegen flag -print-schedule effectively reverting the
logic originally committed as r300311
(https://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=revision&revision=300311).
Flag -print-schedule was originally introduced by r300311 to address PR32216
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32216). That bug was about adding "Better
testing of schedule model instruction latencies/throughputs".
These days, we can use llvm-mca to test scheduling models. So there is no longer
a need for flag -print-schedule in LLVM. The main use case for PR32216 is
now addressed by llvm-mca.
Flag -print-schedule is mainly used for debugging purposes, and it is only
actually used by x86 specific tests. We already have extensive (latency and
throughput) tests under "test/tools/llvm-mca" for X86 processor models. That
means, most (if not all) existing -print-schedule tests for X86 are redundant.
When flag -print-schedule was first added to LLVM, several files had to be
modified; a few APIs gained new arguments (see for example method
MCAsmStreamer::EmitInstruction), and MCSubtargetInfo/TargetSubtargetInfo gained
a couple of getSchedInfoStr() methods.
Method getSchedInfoStr() had to originally work for both MCInst and
MachineInstr. The original implmentation of getSchedInfoStr() introduced a
subtle layering violation (reported as PR37160 and then fixed/worked-around by
r330615).
In retrospect, that new API could have been designed more optimally. We can
always query MCSchedModel to get the latency and throughput. More importantly,
the "sched-info" string should not have been generated by the subtarget.
Note, r317782 fixed an issue where "print-schedule" didn't work very well in the
presence of inline assembly. That commit is also reverted by this change.

This is the planned follow-up to D52997. Here we are reducing horizontal vector math codegen
by default. AMD Jaguar (btver2) should have no difference with this patch because it has
fast-hops. (If we want to set that bit for other CPUs, let me know.)
The code changes are small, but there are many test diffs. For files that are specifically
testing for hops, I added RUNs to distinguish fast/slow, so we can see the consequences
side-by-side. For files that are primarily concerned with codegen other than hops, I just
updated the CHECK lines to reflect the new default codegen.
To recap the recent horizontal op story:
1. Before rL343727, we were producing hops for all subtargets for a variety of patterns.
Hops were likely not optimal for all targets though.
2. The IR improvement in r343727 exposed a hole in the backend hop pattern matching, so
we reduced hop codegen for all subtargets. That was bad for Jaguar (PR39195).
3. We restored the hop codegen for all targets with rL344141. Good for Jaguar, but
probably bad for other CPUs.
4. This patch allows us to distinguish when we want to produce hops, so everyone can be
happy. I'm not sure if we have the best predicate here, but the intent is to undo the
extra hop-iness that was enabled by r344141.

This patch implements a pass that optimizes condition branches on x86 by
taking advantage of the three-way conditional code generated by compare
instructions.
Currently, it tries to hoisting EQ and NE conditional branch to a dominant
conditional branch condition where the same EQ/NE conditional code is
computed. An example:
bb_0:
cmp %0, 19
jg bb_1
jmp bb_2
bb_1:
cmp %0, 40
jg bb_3
jmp bb_4
bb_4:
cmp %0, 20
je bb_5
jmp bb_6
Here we could combine the two compares in bb_0 and bb_4 and have the
following code:
bb_0:
cmp %0, 20
jg bb_1
jl bb_2
jmp bb_5
bb_1:
cmp %0, 40
jg bb_3
jmp bb_6
For the case of %0 == 20 (bb_5), we eliminate two jumps, and the control height
for bb_6 is also reduced. bb_4 is gone after the optimization.
This optimization is motivated by the branch pattern generated by the switch
lowering: we always have pivot-1 compare for the inner nodes and we do a pivot
compare again the leaf (like above pattern).
This pass currently is enabled on Intel's Sandybridge and later arches. Some
reviewers pointed out that on some arches (like AMD Jaguar), this pass may
increase branch density to the point where it hurts the performance of the
branch predictor.

Summary:
This function turns (X >> C1) & C2 into a BMI BEXTR or TBM BEXTRI instruction. For BMI BEXTR we have to materialize an immediate into a register to feed to the BEXTR instruction.
The BMI BEXTR instruction is 2 uops on Intel CPUs. It looks like on SKL its one port 0/6 uop and one port 1/5 uop. Despite what Agner's tables say. I know one of the uops is a regular shift uop so it would have to go through the port 0/6 shifter unit. So that's the same or worse execution wise than the shift+and which is one 0/6 uop and one 0/1/5/6 uop. The move immediate into register is an additional 0/1/5/6 uop.
For now I've limited this transform to AMD CPUs which have a single uop BEXTR. If may also might make sense if we can fold a load or if the and immediate is larger than 32-bits and can't be encoded as a sign extended 32-bit value or if LICM or CSE can hoist the move immediate and share it. But we'd need to look more carefully at that. In the regression I looked at it doesn't look load folding or large immediates were occurring so the regression isn't caused by the loss of those. So we could try to be smarter here if we find a compelling case.

Summary:
Previously most CPUs inherited cmov support through Feature64Bit(or FeatureCMPXCHG16HB implying Feature64Bit) or FeatureSSE1.
This has the surprising side effect that -mattr=-cmov causes an assert to fire in 64-bit mode because it clears the Feature64Bit. Or in 32-bit mode, -mattr=-cmov disables any sse/avx features which seems surprising.
This patch removes the implication and instead updates hasCMOV in X86Subtarget to check SSE1 or is64Bit in addition to the regular cmov flag. This should keep most things working the way they did before. I don't believe there is a way to specific "-cmov" directly from clang so this should only effect our lower level tools.
This does stop -mattr=cx16(cmpxchg16b) from implying cmov is enabled via the 64bit flag as you can see from one of the changed tests. But that was a 32-bit test so I don't know why it enabled cx16 anyway.
For the other test I had to add -sse to override the new sse check in hasCMOV.

subtarget features for indirect calls and indirect branches.
This is in preparation for enabling *only* the call retpolines when
using speculative load hardening.
I've continued to use subtarget features for now as they continue to
seem the best fit given the lack of other retpoline like constructs so
far.
The LLVM side is pretty simple. I'd like to eventually get rid of the
old feature, but not sure what backwards compatibility issues that will
cause.
This does remove the "implies" from requesting an external thunk. This
always seemed somewhat questionable and is now clearly not desirable --
you specify a thunk the same way no matter which set of things are
getting retpolines.
I really want to keep this nicely isolated from end users and just an
LLVM implementation detail, so I've moved the `-mretpoline` flag in
Clang to no longer rely on a specific subtarget feature by that name and
instead to be directly handled. In some ways this is simpler, but in
order to preserve existing behavior I've had to add some fallback code
so that users who relied on merely passing -mretpoline-external-thunk
continue to get the same behavior. We should eventually remove this
I suspect (we have never tested that it works!) but I've not done that
in this patch.

This patch adds a new function attribute "required-vector-width" that can be set by the frontend to indicate the maximum vector width present in the original source code. The idea is that this would be set based on ABI requirements, intrinsics or explicit vector types being used, maybe simd pragmas, etc. The backend will then use this information to determine if its save to make 512-bit vectors illegal when the preference is for 256-bit vectors.
For code that has no vectors in it originally and only get vectors through the loop and slp vectorizers this allows us to generate code largely similar to our AVX2 only output while still enabling AVX512 features like mask registers and gather/scatter. The loop vectorizer doesn't always obey TTI and will create oversized vectors with the expectation the backend will legalize it. In order to avoid changing the vectorizer and potentially harm our AVX2 codegen this patch tries to make the legalizer behavior similar.
This is restricted to CPUs that support AVX512F and AVX512VL so that we have good fallback options to use 128 and 256-bit vectors and still get masking.
I've qualified every place I could find in X86ISelLowering.cpp and added tests cases for many of them with 2 different values for the attribute to see the codegen differences.
We still need to do frontend work for the attribute and teach the inliner how to merge it, etc. But this gets the codegen layer ready for it.

Summary:
First, we need to explain the core of the vulnerability. Note that this
is a very incomplete description, please see the Project Zero blog post
for details:
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2018/01/reading-privileged-memory-with-side.html
The basis for branch target injection is to direct speculative execution
of the processor to some "gadget" of executable code by poisoning the
prediction of indirect branches with the address of that gadget. The
gadget in turn contains an operation that provides a side channel for
reading data. Most commonly, this will look like a load of secret data
followed by a branch on the loaded value and then a load of some
predictable cache line. The attacker then uses timing of the processors
cache to determine which direction the branch took *in the speculative
execution*, and in turn what one bit of the loaded value was. Due to the
nature of these timing side channels and the branch predictor on Intel
processors, this allows an attacker to leak data only accessible to
a privileged domain (like the kernel) back into an unprivileged domain.
The goal is simple: avoid generating code which contains an indirect
branch that could have its prediction poisoned by an attacker. In many
cases, the compiler can simply use directed conditional branches and
a small search tree. LLVM already has support for lowering switches in
this way and the first step of this patch is to disable jump-table
lowering of switches and introduce a pass to rewrite explicit indirectbr
sequences into a switch over integers.
However, there is no fully general alternative to indirect calls. We
introduce a new construct we call a "retpoline" to implement indirect
calls in a non-speculatable way. It can be thought of loosely as
a trampoline for indirect calls which uses the RET instruction on x86.
Further, we arrange for a specific call->ret sequence which ensures the
processor predicts the return to go to a controlled, known location. The
retpoline then "smashes" the return address pushed onto the stack by the
call with the desired target of the original indirect call. The result
is a predicted return to the next instruction after a call (which can be
used to trap speculative execution within an infinite loop) and an
actual indirect branch to an arbitrary address.
On 64-bit x86 ABIs, this is especially easily done in the compiler by
using a guaranteed scratch register to pass the target into this device.
For 32-bit ABIs there isn't a guaranteed scratch register and so several
different retpoline variants are introduced to use a scratch register if
one is available in the calling convention and to otherwise use direct
stack push/pop sequences to pass the target address.
This "retpoline" mitigation is fully described in the following blog
post: https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/7625886
We also support a target feature that disables emission of the retpoline
thunk by the compiler to allow for custom thunks if users want them.
These are particularly useful in environments like kernels that
routinely do hot-patching on boot and want to hot-patch their thunk to
different code sequences. They can write this custom thunk and use
`-mretpoline-external-thunk` *in addition* to `-mretpoline`. In this
case, on x86-64 thu thunk names must be:
```
__llvm_external_retpoline_r11
```
or on 32-bit:
```
__llvm_external_retpoline_eax
__llvm_external_retpoline_ecx
__llvm_external_retpoline_edx
__llvm_external_retpoline_push
```
And the target of the retpoline is passed in the named register, or in
the case of the `push` suffix on the top of the stack via a `pushl`
instruction.
There is one other important source of indirect branches in x86 ELF
binaries: the PLT. These patches also include support for LLD to
generate PLT entries that perform a retpoline-style indirection.
The only other indirect branches remaining that we are aware of are from
precompiled runtimes (such as crt0.o and similar). The ones we have
found are not really attackable, and so we have not focused on them
here, but eventually these runtimes should also be replicated for
retpoline-ed configurations for completeness.
For kernels or other freestanding or fully static executables, the
compiler switch `-mretpoline` is sufficient to fully mitigate this
particular attack. For dynamic executables, you must compile *all*
libraries with `-mretpoline` and additionally link the dynamic
executable and all shared libraries with LLD and pass `-z retpolineplt`
(or use similar functionality from some other linker). We strongly
recommend also using `-z now` as non-lazy binding allows the
retpoline-mitigated PLT to be substantially smaller.
When manually apply similar transformations to `-mretpoline` to the
Linux kernel we observed very small performance hits to applications
running typical workloads, and relatively minor hits (approximately 2%)
even for extremely syscall-heavy applications. This is largely due to
the small number of indirect branches that occur in performance
sensitive paths of the kernel.
When using these patches on statically linked applications, especially
C++ applications, you should expect to see a much more dramatic
performance hit. For microbenchmarks that are switch, indirect-, or
virtual-call heavy we have seen overheads ranging from 10% to 50%.
However, real-world workloads exhibit substantially lower performance
impact. Notably, techniques such as PGO and ThinLTO dramatically reduce
the impact of hot indirect calls (by speculatively promoting them to
direct calls) and allow optimized search trees to be used to lower
switches. If you need to deploy these techniques in C++ applications, we
*strongly* recommend that you ensure all hot call targets are statically
linked (avoiding PLT indirection) and use both PGO and ThinLTO. Well
tuned servers using all of these techniques saw 5% - 10% overhead from
the use of retpoline.
We will add detailed documentation covering these components in
subsequent patches, but wanted to make the core functionality available
as soon as possible. Happy for more code review, but we'd really like to
get these patches landed and backported ASAP for obvious reasons. We're
planning to backport this to both 6.0 and 5.0 release streams and get
a 5.0 release with just this cherry picked ASAP for distros and vendors.
This patch is the work of a number of people over the past month: Eric, Reid,
Rui, and myself. I'm mailing it out as a single commit due to the time
sensitive nature of landing this and the need to backport it. Huge thanks to
everyone who helped out here, and everyone at Intel who helped out in
discussions about how to craft this. Also, credit goes to Paul Turner (at
Google, but not an LLVM contributor) for much of the underlying retpoline
design.

This change applies to places where we would turn 128/256-bit code into 512-bit in order to get a wider element type through sext/zext. Any 512-bit types that already existed in the IR/DAG will be left that way.
The width preference has no effect on codegen behavior when the target does not have AVX512 enabled. So AVX/AVX2 codegen cannot be limited via this mechanism yet.
If the preference is lower than 256 we may still use a 256 bit type to do the operation. Constraining to 128 bits makes it much more difficult to support some operations. For many of these cases we need to change element width while keeping element count constant which is easiest done by switching between 256 and 128 bit.
The preference is only obeyed when AVX512 and VLX are available. This means the preference is not obeyed for KNL, but is obeyed for SKX, Cannonlake, and Icelake. For KNL, the only way to do masked operation is on 512-bit registers so we would have to completely disable masking to obey the preference. We would also lose support for gather, scatter, ctlz, vXi64 multiplies, etc. This may change in the future, but this simplifies the initial implementation.

This will cause the vectorizers to do some limiting of the vector widths they create. This is not a strict limit. There are reasons I know of that the loop vectorizer will generate larger vectors for.

Previously prefetch was only considered legal if sse was enabled, but it should be supported with 3dnow as well.
The prfchw flag now imply at least some form of prefetch without the write hint is available, either the sse or 3dnow version. This is true even if 3dnow and sse are explicitly disabled.
Similarly prefetchwt1 feature implies availability of prefetchw and the the prefetcht0/1/2/nta instructions. This way we can support _MM_HINT_ET0 using prefetchw and _MM_HINT_ET1 with prefetchwt1. And its assumed that if we have levels for the write hint we would have levels for the non-write hint, thus why we enable the sse prefetch instructions.
I believe this behavior is consistent with gcc. I've updated the prefetch.ll to test all of these combinations.

As mentioned in D38318 and D40865, modern Intel processors prefer to combine multiple shuffles to a variable shuffle mask (PSHUFB/VPERMPS etc.) instead of having multiple stage 'fixed' shuffles which put more pressure on Port 5 (at the expense of extra shuffle mask loads).
This patch provides a FeatureFastVariableShuffle target flag for Haswell+ CPUs that prefers combining 2 or more fixed shuffles to a single variable shuffle (default is 3 shuffles).

Summary:
These instructions zero the non-scalar part of the lower 128-bits which makes them different than the FMA3 instructions which pass through the non-scalar part of the lower 128-bits.
I've only added fmadd because we should be able to derive all other variants using operand negation in the intrinsic header like we do for AVX512.
I think there are still some missed negate folding opportunities with the FMA4 instructions in light of this behavior difference that I hadn't noticed before.
I've split the tests so that we can use different intrinsics for scalar testing between the two. I just copied the tests split the RUN lines and changed out the scalar intrinsics.
fma4-fneg-combine.ll is a new test to make sure we negate the fma4 intrinsics correctly though there are a couple TODOs in it.
