The current Intel Atom microarchitecture has a feature whereby
when a function returns early then it is slightly faster to execute
a sequence of NOP instructions to wait until the return address is ready,
as opposed to simply stalling on the ret instruction until
the return address is ready.
When compiling for X86 Atom only, this patch will run a pass,
called "X86PadShortFunction" which will add NOP instructions where less
than four cycles elapse between function entry and return.
It includes tests.
This patch has been updated to address Nadav's review comments
- Optimize only at >= O1 and don't do optimization if -Os is set
- Stores MachineBasicBlock* instead of BBNum
- Uses DenseMap instead of std::map
- Fixes placement of braces

- Add 'UseSSEx' to force SSE legacy insn not being selected when AVX is
enabled.
As the penalty of inter-mixing SSE and AVX instructions, we need
prevent SSE legacy insn from being generated except explicitly
specified through some intrinsics. For patterns supported by both
SSE and AVX, so far, we force AVX insn will be tried first relying on
AddedComplexity or position in td file. It's error-prone and
introduces bugs accidentally.
'UseSSEx' is disabled when AVX is turned on. For SSE insns inherited
by AVX, we need this predicate to force VEX encoding or SSE legacy
encoding only.
For insns not inherited by AVX, we still use the previous predicates,
i.e. 'HasSSEx'. So far, these insns fall into the following
categories:
* SSE insns with MMX operands
* SSE insns with GPR/MEM operands only (xFENCE, PREFETCH, CLFLUSH,
CRC, and etc.)
* SSE4A insns.
* MMX insns.
* x87 insns added by SSE.
2 test cases are modified:
- test/CodeGen/X86/fast-isel-x86-64.ll
AVX code generation is different from SSE one. 'vcvtsi2sdq' cannot be
selected by fast-isel due to complicated pattern and fast-isel
fallback to materialize it from constant pool.
- test/CodeGen/X86/widen_load-1.ll
AVX code generation is different from SSE one after fixing SSE/AVX
inter-mixing. Exec-domain fixing prefers 'vmovapd' instead of
'vmovaps'.

Like V_SET0, these instructions are expanded by ExpandPostRA to xorps /
vxorps so they can participate in execution domain swizzling.
This also makes the AVX variants redundant.

fix bugs exposed by the gcc dejagnu testsuite:
1. The load may actually be used by a dead instruction, which
would cause an assert.
2. The load may not be used by the current chain of instructions,
and we could move it past a side-effecting instruction. Change
how we process uses to define the problem away.

when they are a truncate from something else. This eliminates fully half of all the
fastisel rejections on a test c++ file I'm working with, which should make a substantial
improvement for -O0 compile of c++ code.
This fixed rdar://9297003 - fast isel bails out on all functions taking bools

Before we would bail out on i1 arguments all together, now we just bail on
non-constant ones. Also, we used to emit extraneous code. e.g. test12 was:
movb $0, %al
movzbl %al, %edi
callq _test12
and test13 was:
movb $0, %al
xorl %edi, %edi
movb %al, 7(%rsp)
callq _test13f
Now we get:
movl $0, %edi
callq _test12
and:
movl $0, %edi
callq _test13f

value constraints on them (when defined as ImmLeaf's). This is particularly important
for X86-64, where almost all reg/imm instructions take a i64immSExt32 immediate operand,
which has a value constraint. Before this patch we ended up iseling the examples into
such amazing code as:
movabsq $7, %rax
imulq %rax, %rdi
movq %rdi, %rax
ret
now we produce:
imulq $7, %rdi, %rax
ret
This dramatically shrinks the generated code at -O0 on x86-64.

2. implement rdar://9289501 - fast isel should fold trivial multiplies to shifts
3. teach tblgen to handle shift immediates that are different sizes than the
shifted operands, eliminating some code from the X86 fast isel backend.
4. Have FastISel::SelectBinaryOp use (the poorly named) FastEmit_ri_ function
instead of FastEmit_ri to simplify code.

when we have a global variable base an an index. Instead, just give up on
folding the global variable.
Before we'd geenrate:
_test: ## @test
## BB#0:
movq _rtx_length@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
leaq (%rax), %rax
addq %rdi, %rax
movzbl (%rax), %eax
ret
now we generate:
_test: ## @test
## BB#0:
movq _rtx_length@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
movzbl (%rax,%rdi), %eax
ret
The difference is even more significant when there is a scale
involved.
This fixes rdar://9289558 - total fail with addr mode formation at -O0/x86-64

less trivial things) into a dummy lea. Before we generated:
_test: ## @test
movq _G@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
leaq (%rax), %rax
ret
now we produce:
_test: ## @test
movq _G@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
ret
This is part of rdar://9289558

The basic issue here is that bottom-up isel is matching the branch
and compare, and was failing to fold the load into the branch/compare
combo. Fixing this (by allowing folding into any instruction of a
sequence that is selected) allows us to produce things like:
cmpb $0, 52(%rax)
je LBB4_2
instead of:
movb 52(%rax), %cl
cmpb $0, %cl
je LBB4_2
This makes the generated -O0 code run a bit faster, but also speeds up
compile time by putting less pressure on the register allocator and
generating less code.
This was one of the biggest classes of missing load folding. Implementing
this shrinks 176.gcc's c-decl.s (as a random example) by about 4% in (verbose-asm)
line count.
