Post-commit feedback for d69c4372bf says the output
may vary between pass managers. This is hopefully a
quick fix, but we might want to investigate how to
better solve this type of problem.
The FileCheck lines in these files are auto-generated and complete,
so there's very little upside (less CHECK lines) from running
-instcombine on them and violating the expected test layering
(optimizer developers shouldn't have to be aware of clang tests).
Running opt passes like this makes it harder to make changes such as:
D93817
This patch adjusts the following ARM/AArch64 LLVM IR intrinsics:
- neon_bfmmla
- neon_bfmlalb
- neon_bfmlalt
so that they take and return bf16 and float types. Previously these
intrinsics used <8 x i8> and <4 x i8> vectors (a rudiment from
implementation lacking bf16 IR type).
The neon_vbfdot[q] intrinsics are adjusted similarly. This change
required some additional selection patterns for vbfdot itself and
also for vector shuffles (in a previous patch) because of SelectionDAG
transformations kicking in and mangling the original code.
This patch makes the generated IR cleaner (less useless bitcasts are
produced), but it does not affect the final assembly.

This patch upstreams support for BFloat Matrix Multiplication Intrinsics
and Code Generation from __bf16 to AArch64. This includes IR intrinsics. Unittests are
provided as needed. AArch32 Intrinsics + CodeGen will come after this
patch.
This patch is part of a series implementing the Bfloat16 extension of
the
Armv8.6-a architecture, as detailed here:

The bfloat type, and its properties are specified in the Arm
Architecture
