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.
