Patch to provide shuffle decodes and asm comments for the sse pslldq/psrldq SSE2/AVX2 byte shift instructions.
Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D5598
llvm-svn: 219738
Update the entire regression test suite for the new shuffles. Remove
most of the old testing which was devoted to the old shuffle lowering
path and is no longer relevant really. Also remove a few other random
tests that only really exercised shuffles and only incidently or without
any interesting aspects to them.
Benchmarking that I have done shows a few small regressions with this on
LNT, zero measurable regressions on real, large applications, and for
several benchmarks where the loop vectorizer fires in the hot path it
shows 5% to 40% improvements for SSE2 and SSE3 code running on Sandy
Bridge machines. Running on AMD machines shows even more dramatic
improvements.
When using newer ISA vector extensions the gains are much more modest,
but the code is still better on the whole. There are a few regressions
being tracked (PR21137, PR21138, PR21139) but by and large this is
expected to be a win for x86 generated code performance.
It is also more correct than the code it replaces. I have fuzz tested
this extensively with ISA extensions up through AVX2 and found no
crashes or miscompiles (yet...). The old lowering had a few miscompiles
and crashers after a somewhat smaller amount of fuzz testing.
There is one significant area where the new code path lags behind and
that is in AVX-512 support. However, there was *extremely little*
support for that already and so this isn't a significant step backwards
and the new framework will probably make it easier to implement lowering
that uses the full power of AVX-512's table-based shuffle+blend (IMO).
Many thanks to Quentin, Andrea, Robert, and others for benchmarking
assistance. Thanks to Adam and others for help with AVX-512. Thanks to
Hal, Eric, and *many* others for answering my incessant questions about
how the backend actually works. =]
I will leave the old code path in the tree until the 3 PRs above are at
least resolved to folks' satisfaction. Then I will rip it (and 1000s of
lines of code) out. =] I don't expect this flag to stay around for very
long. It may not survive next week.

parsing (and latent bug in the instruction definitions).
This is effectively a revert of r136287 which tried to address
a specific and narrow case of immediate operands failing to be accepted
by x86 instructions with a pretty heavy hammer: it introduced a new kind
of operand that behaved differently. All of that is removed with this
commit, but the test cases are both preserved and enhanced.
The core problem that r136287 and this commit are trying to handle is
that gas accepts both of the following instructions:
insertps $192, %xmm0, %xmm1
insertps $-64, %xmm0, %xmm1
These will encode to the same byte sequence, with the immediate
occupying an 8-bit entry. The first form was fixed by r136287 but that
broke the prior handling of the second form! =[ Ironically, we would
still emit the second form in some cases and then be unable to
re-assemble the output.
The reason why the first instruction failed to be handled is because
prior to r136287 the operands ere marked 'i32i8imm' which forces them to
be sign-extenable. Clearly, that won't work for 192 in a single byte.
However, making thim zero-extended or "unsigned" doesn't really address
the core issue either because it breaks negative immediates. The correct
fix is to make these operands 'i8imm' reflecting that they can be either
signed or unsigned but must be 8-bit immediates. This patch backs out
r136287 and then changes those places as well as some others to use
'i8imm' rather than one of the extended variants.
Naturally, this broke something else. The custom DAG nodes had to be
updated to have a much more accurate type constraint of an i8 node, and
a bunch of Pat immediates needed to be specified as i8 values.
The fallout didn't end there though. We also then ceased to be able to
match the instruction-specific intrinsics to the instructions so
modified. Digging, this is because they too used i32 rather than i8 in
their signature. So I've also switched those intrinsics to i8 arguments
in line with the instructions.
In order to make the intrinsic adjustments of course, I also had to add
auto upgrading for the intrinsics.
I suspect that the intrinsic argument types may have led everything down
this rabbit hole. Pretty happy with the result.

instructions in the legalized DAG, and leverage it to combine long
sequences of instructions to PSHUFB.
Eventually, the other x86-instruction-specific shuffle combines will
probably all be driven out of this routine. But the real motivation is
to detect after we have fully legalized and optimized a shuffle to the
minimal number of x86 instructions whether it is profitable to replace
the chain with a fully generic PSHUFB instruction even though doing so
requires either a load from a constant pool or tying up a register with
the mask.
While the Intel manuals claim it should be used when it replaces 5 or
more instructions (!!!!) my experience is that it is actually very fast
on modern chips, and so I've gon with a much more aggressive model of
replacing any sequence of 3 or more instructions.
I've also taught it to do some basic canonicalization to special-purpose
instructions which have smaller encodings than their generic
counterparts.
There are still quite a few FIXMEs here, and I've not yet implemented
support for lowering blends with PSHUFB (where its power really shines
due to being able to zero out lanes), but this starts implementing real
PSHUFB support even when using the new, fancy shuffle lowering. =]

The corresponding CFE patch replaces these intrinsics with vector initializers
in avxintrin.h. This patch removes the LLVM intrinsics from the backend.
We now stop lowering at X86ISD::VBROADCAST custom node rather than lowering
that further to the intrinsics.
The patch only changes VBROADCASTS* and leaves VBROADCAST[FI]128 to continue
to use intrinsics. As explained in the CFE patch, the reason is that we
currently don't generate as good code for them without the intrinsics.
CodeGen/X86/avx-vbroadcast.ll already provides coverage for this change. It
checks that for a series of insertelements we generate the appropriate
vbroadcast instruction.
Also verified that there was no assembly change in the test-suite before and
after this patch.

DomainValues that are only used by "don't care" instructions are now
collapsed to the first possible execution domain after all basic blocks
have been processed. This typically means the PS domain on x86.
For example, the vsel_i64 and vsel_double functions in sse2-blend.ll are
completely collapsed to the PS domain instead of containing a mix of
execution domains created by isel.

Now that we have a first-class way to represent unaligned loads, the unaligned
load intrinsics are superfluous.
