FeatureFusion bits was first introduced in
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL253724. for add/load integer fusion for P8.
The only use of `hasFusion` was https://reviews.llvm.org/rL255319.
However, this was removed later in https://reviews.llvm.org/rL280440.
So, there is NO any reference to fusion in code now.
Leaving it there is misleading and confusing, so remove it for now.
We can alwasy add back if we ever support fusion in the future.

The single-constant algorithm produces infinities on a lot of denormal values.
The precision of the two-constant algorithm is actually sufficient across the
range of denormals. We will switch to that algorithm for now to avoid the
infinities on denormals. In the future, we will re-evaluate the algorithm to
find the optimal one for PowerPC.

This patch lays the groundwork for extending the generic machine scheduler by providing a PPC-specific implementation.
There are no functional changes as this is an incremental patch that simply provides the necessary overrides which just
encapsulate the behavior of the generic scheduler. Subsequent patches will add specific behavior.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
The Signal Processing Engine (SPE) is found on NXP/Freescale e500v1,
e500v2, and several e200 cores. This adds support targeting the e500v2,
as this is more common than the e500v1, and is in SoCs still on the
market.
This patch is very intrusive because the SPE is binary incompatible with
the traditional FPU. After discussing with others, the cleanest
solution was to make both SPE and FPU features on top of a base PowerPC
subset, so all FPU instructions are now wrapped with HasFPU predicates.
Supported by this are:
* Code generation following the SPE ABI at the LLVM IR level (calling
conventions)
* Single- and Double-precision math at the level supported by the APU.
Still to do:
* Vector operations
* SPE intrinsics
As this changes the Callee-saved register list order, one test, which
tests the precise generated code, was updated to account for the new
register order.

Summary:
Add a target option AllowRegisterRenaming that is used to opt in to
post-register-allocation renaming of registers. This is set to 0 by
default, which causes the hasExtraSrcRegAllocReq/hasExtraDstRegAllocReq
fields of all opcodes to be set to 1, causing
MachineOperand::isRenamable to always return false.
Set the AllowRegisterRenaming flag to 1 for all in-tree targets that
have lit tests that were effected by enabling COPY forwarding in
MachineCopyPropagation (AArch64, AMDGPU, ARM, Hexagon, Mips, PowerPC,
RISCV, Sparc, SystemZ and X86).
Add some more comments describing the semantics of the
MachineOperand::isRenamable function and how it is set and maintained.
Change isRenamable to check the operand's opcode
hasExtraSrcRegAllocReq/hasExtraDstRegAllocReq bit directly instead of
relying on it being consistently reflected in the IsRenamable bit
setting.
Clear the IsRenamable bit when changing an operand's register value.
Remove target code that was clearing the IsRenamable bit when changing
registers/opcodes now that this is done conservatively by default.
Change setting of hasExtraSrcRegAllocReq in AMDGPU target to be done in
one place covering all opcodes that have constant pipe read limit
restrictions.

PWR9 processor model for instruction scheduling. A subsequent patch will migrate

llvm-svn: 290102
This change enables soft-float for PowerPC64, and also makes soft-float disable
all vector instruction sets for both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. This latter part
is necessary because the PPC backend canonicalizes many Altivec vector types to
floating-point types, and so soft-float breaks scalarization support for many
operations. Both for embedded targets and for operating-system kernels desiring
soft-float support, it seems reasonable that disabling hardware floating-point
also disables vector instructions (embedded targets without hardware floating
point support are unlikely to have Altivec, etc. and operating system kernels
desiring not to use floating-point registers to lower syscall cost are unlikely
to want to use vector registers either). If someone needs this to work, we'll
need to change the fact that we promote many Altivec operations to act on
v4f32. To make it possible to disable Altivec when soft-float is enabled,
hardware floating-point support needs to be expressed as a positive feature,
like the others, and not a negative feature, because target features cannot
have dependencies on the disabling of some other feature. So +soft-float has
now become -hard-float.
Fixes PR26970.

Instead of using two feature bits, one to indicate the availability of the
popcnt[dw] instructions, and another to indicate whether or not they're fast,
use a single enum. This allows more consistent control via target attribute
strings, and via Clang's command line.
llvm-svn: 264690
The A2 cores support the popcntw/popcntd instructions, but they're microcoded,
and slower than our default software emulation. Specifically, popcnt[dw] take
approximately 74 cycles, whereas our software emulation takes only 24-28
cycles.
I've added a new target feature to indicate a slow popcnt[dw], instead of just
removing the existing target feature from the a2/a2q processor models, because:
1. This allows us to return more accurate information via the TTI interface
(I recognize that this currently makes no practical difference)
2. Is hopefully easier to understand (it allows the core's features to match
its manual while still having the desired effect).

This patch adds Hardware Transaction Memory (HTM) support supported by ISA 2.07
(POWER8). The intrinsic support is based on GCC one [1], but currently only the
'PowerPC HTM Low Level Built-in Function' are implemented.
The HTM instructions follows the RC ones and the transaction initiation result
is set on RC0 (with exception of tcheck). Currently approach is to create a
register copy from CR0 to GPR and comapring. Although this is suboptimal, since
the branch could be taken directly by comparing the CR0 value, it generates code
correctly on both test and branch and just return value. A possible future
optimization could be elimitate the MFCR instruction to branch directly.
The HTM usage requires a recently newer kernel with PPC HTM enabled. Tested on
powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
This is send along a clang patch to enabled the builtins and option switch.

Patch by Kit Barton.
Add the vector population count instructions for byte, halfword, word,
and doubleword sizes. There are two major changes here:
PPCISelLowering.cpp: Make CTPOP legal for vector types.
PPCRegisterInfo.td: Added v2i64 to the VRRC register
definition. This is needed for the doubleword variations of the
integer ops that were added in P8.
Test Plan
Test the instruction vpcnt* encoding/decoding in ppc64-encoding-vmx.s
Test the generation of the vpopcnt instructions for various vector
data types. When adding the v2i64 type to the Vector Register set, I
also needed to add the appropriate bit conversion patterns between
v2i64 and the existing vector types. Testing for these conversions
were also added in the test case by passing a different vector type as
a parameter into the test functions. There is also a run step that
will ensure the vpopcnt instructions are generated when the vsx
feature is disabled.

Since ppc64le implies POWER8 as a minimum, it makes sense that the
same features are included. Since the pwr8 processor model will likely
be getting new features until the implementation is complete, I
created a new list to add these updates to. This will include them in
both pwr8 and ppc64le.
Furthermore, it seems that it would make sense to compose the feature
lists for other processor models (pwr3 and up). Per discussion in the
review, I will make this change in a subsequent patch.
In order to test the changes, I've added an additional run step to
test cases that specify -march=ppc64le -mcpu=pwr8 to omit the -mcpu
option. Since the feature lists are the same, the behaviour should be
unchanged.
llvm-svn: 227053
Function pointers under PPC64 ELFv1 (which is used on PPC64/Linux on the
POWER7, A2 and earlier cores) are really pointers to a function descriptor, a
structure with three pointers: the actual pointer to the code to which to jump,
the pointer to the TOC needed by the callee, and an environment pointer. We
used to chain these loads, and make them opaque to the rest of the optimizer,
so that they'd always occur directly before the call. This is not necessary,
and in fact, highly suboptimal on embedded cores. Once the function pointer is
known, the loads can be performed ahead of time; in fact, they can be hoisted
out of loops.
Now these function descriptors are almost always generated by the linker, and
thus the contents of the descriptors are invariant. As a result, by default,
we'll mark the associated loads as invariant (allowing them to be hoisted out
of loops). I've added a target feature to turn this off, however, just in case
someone needs that option (constructing an on-stack descriptor, casting it to a
function pointer, and then calling it cannot be well-defined C/C++ code, but I
can imagine some JIT-compilation system doing so).
Consider this simple test:
$ cat call.c
typedef void (*fp)();
void bar(fp x) {
for (int i = 0; i < 1600000000; ++i)
x();
}
$ cat main.c
typedef void (*fp)();
void bar(fp x);
void foo() {}
int main() {
bar(foo);
}
On the PPC A2 (the BG/Q supercomputer), marking the function-descriptor loads
as invariant brings the execution time down to ~8 seconds from ~32 seconds with
the loads in the loop.
The difference on the POWER7 is smaller. Compiling with:
gcc -std=c99 -O3 -mcpu=native call.c main.c : ~6 seconds [this is 4.8.2]
clang -O3 -mcpu=native call.c main.c : ~5.3 seconds
clang -O3 -mcpu=native call.c main.c -mno-invariant-function-descriptors : ~4 seconds
(looks like we'd benefit from additional loop unrolling here, as a first
guess, because this is faster with the extra loads)
The -mno-invariant-function-descriptors will be added to Clang shortly.

Patch by Kit Barton.
Support for the ICBT instruction is currently present, but limited to
embedded processors. This change adds a new FeatureICBT that can be used
to identify whether the ICBT instruction is available on a specific processor.
Two new tests are added:
* Positive test to ensure the icbt instruction is present when using
-mcpu=pwr8
* Negative test to ensure the icbt instruction is not generated when
using -mcpu=pwr7
Both test cases use the Prefetch opcode in LLVM. They are based on the
ppc64-prefetch.ll test case.

Newer POWER cores, and the A2, support the cmpb instruction. This instruction
compares its operands, treating each of the 8 bytes in the GPRs separately,
returning a 'mask' result of 0 (for false) or -1 (for true) in each byte.
Code generation support is added, in the form of a PPCISelDAGToDAG
DAG-preprocessing routine, that recognizes patterns close to what the
instruction computes (either exactly, or related by a constant masking
operation), and generates the cmpb instruction (along with any necessary
constant masking operation). This can be expanded if use cases arise.

The current VSX feature for PowerPC specifies availability of the VSX
instructions added with the 2.06 architecture version. With 2.07, the
architecture adds new instructions to both the Category:Vector and
Category:VSX instruction sets. Additionally, unaligned vector storage
operations have improved performance.
This patch adds a feature to provide access to the new instructions
and performance capabilities of Power8. For compatibility with GCC,
the feature is controlled via a new -mpower8-vector switch, and the
feature causes the __POWER8_VECTOR__ builtin define to be generated by
the preprocessor.
There is a companion patch for cfe being committed at the same time.

Older Book-E cores, such as the PPC 440, support only msync (which has the same
encoding as sync 0), but not any of the other sync forms. Newer Book-E cores,
however, do support sync, and for performance reasons we should allow the use
of the more-general form.
This refactors msync use into its own feature group so that it applies by
default only to older Book-E cores (of the relevant cores, we only have
definitions for the PPC440/450 currently).
