My recent patch to add support for ISA 2.07 vector pack/unpack
instructions didn't properly check for availability of the vpkudum
instruction when recognizing it as a special vector shuffle case.
This causes us to leave the vector shuffle in place (rather than
converting it to a vector permute) so that it can be recognized later
as a vpkudum, but that pattern is invalid for processors prior to
POWER8. Thus LLVM crashes with an "unable to select" message. We
observed this since one of our buildbots is configured to generate
code for a POWER7.
This patch fixes the problem by checking for availability of the
vpkudum instruction during custom lowering of vector shuffles.
I've added a test case variant for the vpkudum pattern when the
instruction isn't available.

This patch adds support for the following new instructions in the
Power ISA 2.07:
vpksdss
vpksdus
vpkudus
vpkudum
vupkhsw
vupklsw
These instructions are available through the vec_packs, vec_packsu,
vec_unpackh, and vec_unpackl built-in interfaces. These are
lane-sensitive instructions, so the built-ins have different
implementations for big- and little-endian, and the instructions must
be marked as killing the vector swap optimization for now.
The first three instructions perform saturating pack operations. The
fourth performs a modulo pack operation, which means it can be
represented with a vector shuffle, and conversely the appropriate
vector shuffles may cause this instruction to be generated. The other
instructions are only generated via built-in support for now.
Appropriate tests have been added.
There is a companion patch to clang for the rest of this support.
