AMDGPU currently has a lot of pre-processing code to pre-split
argument types into 32-bit pieces before passing it to the generic
code in handleAssignments. This is a bit sloppy and also requires some
overly fancy iterator work when building the calls. It's better if all
argument marshalling code is handled directly in
handleAssignments. This handles more situations like decomposing large
element vectors into sub-element sized pieces.
This should mostly be NFC, but does change the generated code by
shifting where the initial argument packing instructions are placed. I
think this is nicer looking, since it now emits the packing code
directly after the relevant copies, rather than after the copies for
the remaining arguments.
This doubles down on gfx6/gfx7 using the gfx8+ ABI for 16-bit
types. This is ultimately the better option, but incompatible with the
DAG. Fixing this requires more work, especially for f16.
handleAssignments was assuming every argument type is an MVT, and
assignArg would always fail. This fixes one of the hacks in the
current AMDGPU calling convention code that pre-processes the
arguments.
Confusingly, these were unrelated and had different semantics. The
G_PTR_MASK instruction predates the llvm.ptrmask intrinsic, but has a
different format. G_PTR_MASK only allows clearing the low bits of a
pointer, and only a constant number of bits. The ptrmask intrinsic
allows an arbitrary mask. Replace G_PTR_MASK to match the intrinsic.
Only selects the cases that look like the old instruction. More work
is needed to select the general case. Also new legalization code is
still needed to deal with the case where the incoming mask size does
not match the pointer size, which has a specified behavior in the
langref.
