Stefan Pintilie a60251d739 [PowerPC] Add linker opt for PC Relative GOT indirect accesses
A linker optimization is available on PowerPC for GOT indirect PCRelative loads.

The idea is that we can mark a usual GOT indirect load:

pld 3, vec@got@pcrel(0), 1
lwa 3, 4(3)

With a relocation to say that if we don't need to go through the GOT we can let
the linker further optimize this and replace a load with a nop.

  pld 3, vec@got@pcrel(0), 1
.Lpcrel1:
.reloc .Lpcrel1-8,R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT,.-(.Lpcrel1-8)
  lwa 3, 4(3)

This patch adds the logic that allows the compiler to add the R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header

Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of

Nemanja Ivanovic 6995e5dae7 [PowerPC] Convert r+r instructions to r+i (pre and post RA)
This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to convert instructions that
take two register operands to those that take a register and immediate if
the necessary operand is produced by a load-immediate. Furthermore, it uses
this infrastructure to perform such conversions twice - first at MachineSSA
and then pre-emit.

There are a number of reasons we may end up with opportunities for this
transformation, including but not limited to:
- X-Form instructions chosen since the exact offset isn't available at ISEL time
- Atomic instructions with constant operands (we will add patterns for this
  in the future)
- Tail duplication may duplicate code where one block contains this redundancy
- When emitting compare-free code in PPCDAGToDAGISel, we don't handle constant
  comparands specially

Furthermore, this patch moves the initialization of PPCMIPeepholePass so that
it can be used for MIR tests.

Hiroshi Inoue 6989caa931 [PowerPC] fix potential verification error on __tls_get_addr

Here, ADJCALLSTACKUP and ADJCALLSTACKDOWN are created as a fence for instruction scheduling to avoid _tls_get_addr is scheduled before mflr in the prologue (https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=25839). So if another ADJCALLSTACKUP exists before _tls_get_addr, we do not need to create a new ADJCALLSTACKUP.

Hal Finkel fc35391f2b [PowerPC] Add a late MI-level pass for QPX load/splat simplification
Chapter 3 of the QPX manual states that, "Scalar floating-point load
instructions, defined in the Power ISA, cause a replication of the source data
across all elements of the target register." Thus, if we have a load followed
by a QPX splat (from the first lane), the splat is redundant. This adds a late
MI-level pass to remove the redundant splats in some of these cases
(specifically when both occur in the same basic block).

This optimization is scheduled just prior to post-RA scheduling. It can't happen
before anything that might replace the load with some already-computed quantity
(i.e. store-to-load forwarding).

Bill Schmidt 34af5e1c76 [PowerPC] Add an MI SSA peephole pass.
This patch adds a pass for doing PowerPC peephole optimizations at the
MI level while the code is still in SSA form.  This allows for easy
modifications to the instructions while depending on a subsequent pass
of DCE.  Both passes are very fast due to the characteristics of SSA.

At this time, the only peepholes added are for cleaning up various
redundancies involving the XXPERMDI instruction.  However, I would
expect this will be a useful place to add more peepholes for
inefficiencies generated during instruction selection.  The pass is
placed after VSX swap optimization, as it is best to let that pass
remove unnecessary swaps before performing any remaining clean-ups.

The utility of these clean-ups are demonstrated by changes to four
existing test cases, all of which now have tighter expected code
generation.  I've also added Eric Schweiz's bugpoint-reduced test from
PR25157, for which we now generate tight code.  One other test started
failing for me, and I've fixed it
(test/Transforms/PlaceSafepoints/finite-loops.ll) as well; this is not
related to my changes, and I'm not sure why it works before and not
after.  The problem is that the CHECK-NOT: of "statepoint" from test1
fails because of the "statepoint" in test2, and so forth.  Adding a
CHECK-LABEL in between keeps the different occurrences of that string
properly scoped.

Hal Finkel 8340de142c [PowerPC] Add extra r2 read deps on @toc@l relocations
If some commits are happy, and some commits are sad, this is a sad commit. It
is sad because it restricts instruction scheduling to work around a binutils
linker bug, and moreover, one that may never be fixed. On 2012-05-21, GCC was
updated not to produce code triggering this bug, and now we'll do the same...

When resolving an address using the ELF ABI TOC pointer, two relocations are
generally required: one for the high part and one for the low part. Only
the high part generally explicitly depends on r2 (the TOC pointer). And, so,
we might produce code like this:

.Ltmp526:
        addis 3, 2, .LC12@toc@ha
.Ltmp1628:
        std 2, 40(1)
        ld 5, 0(27)
        ld 2, 8(27)
        ld 11, 16(27)
        ld 3, .LC12@toc@l(3)
        rldicl 4, 4, 0, 32
        mtctr 5
        bctrl
        ld 2, 40(1)

And there is nothing wrong with this code, as such, but there is a linker bug
in binutils (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18414) that will
misoptimize this code sequence to this:
        nop
        std     r2,40(r1)
        ld      r5,0(r27)
        ld      r2,8(r27)
        ld      r11,16(r27)
        ld      r3,-32472(r2)
        clrldi  r4,r4,32
        mtctr   r5
        bctrl
        ld      r2,40(r1)
because the linker does not know (and does not check) that the value in r2
changed in between the instruction using the .LC12@toc@ha (TOC-relative)
relocation and the instruction using the .LC12@toc@l(3) relocation.
Because it finds these instructions using the relocations (and not by
scanning the instructions), it has been asserted that there is no good way
to detect the change of r2 in between. As a result, this bug may never be
fixed (i.e. it may become part of the definition of the ABI). GCC was
updated to add extra dependencies on r2 to instructions using the @toc@l
relocations to avoid this problem, and we'll do the same here.

This is done as a separate pass because:
 1. These extra r2 dependencies are not really properties of the
    instructions, but rather due to a linker bug, and maybe one day we'll be
    able to get rid of them when targeting linkers without this bug (and,
    thus, keeping the logic centralized here will make that
    straightforward).
 2. There are ISel-level peephole optimizations that propagate the @toc@l
    relocations to some user instructions, and so the exta dependencies do
    not apply only to a fixed set of instructions (without undesirable
    definition replication).

The test case was reduced with the help of bugpoint, with minimal cleaning. I'm
looking forward to our upcoming MI serialization support, and with that, much
better tests can be created.

Bill Schmidt fe723b9a6d [PPC64LE] Remove unnecessary swaps from lane-insensitive vector computations
This patch adds a new SSA MI pass that runs on little-endian PPC64
code with VSX enabled. Loads and stores of 4x32 and 2x64 vectors
without alignment constraints are accomplished for little-endian using
lxvd2x/xxswapd and xxswapd/stxvd2x. The existence of the additional
xxswapd instructions hurts performance in comparison with big-endian
code, but they are necessary in the general case to support correct
semantics.

However, the general case does not apply to most vector code. Many
vector instructions are lane-insensitive; they do not "care" which
lanes the parallel computations are performed within, provided that
the resulting data is stored into the correct locations. Thus this
pass looks for computations that perform only lane-insensitive
operations, and remove the unnecessary swaps from loads and stores in
such computations.

Future improvements will allow computations using certain
lane-sensitive operations to also be optimized in this manner, by
modifying the lane-sensitive operations to account for the permuted
order of the lanes. However, this patch only adds the infrastructure
to permit this; no lane-sensitive operations are optimized at this
time.

This code is heavily exercised by the various vectorizing applications
in the projects/test-suite tree. For the time being, I have only added
one simple test case to demonstrate what the pass is doing. Although
it is quite simple, it provides coverage for much of the code,
including the special case handling of copies and subreg-to-reg
operations feeding the swaps. I plan to add additional tests in the
future as I fill in more of the "special handling" code.

Two existing tests were affected, because they expected the swaps to
be present, but they are now removed.

Hal Finkel e5aaf3f2cd [PowerPC] Loop Data Prefetching for the BG/Q
The IBM BG/Q supercomputer's A2 cores have a hardware prefetching unit, the
L1P, but it does not prefetch directly into the A2's L1 cache. Instead, it
prefetches into its own L1P buffer, and the latency to access that buffer is
significantly higher than that to the L1 cache (although smaller than the
latency to the L2 cache). As a result, especially when multiple hardware
threads are not actively busy, explicitly prefetching data into the L1 cache is
advantageous.

I've been using this pass out-of-tree for data prefetching on the BG/Q for well
over a year, and it has worked quite well. It is enabled by default only for
the BG/Q, but can be enabled for other cores as well via a command-line option.

Eventually, we might want to add some TTI interfaces and move this into
Transforms/Scalar (there is nothing particularly target dependent about it,
although only machines like the BG/Q will benefit from its simplistic
strategy).
