It improves the code generated for converting a scalar to a vector value. With
direct moves from GPRs to VSRs, we no longer require expensive stack operations
for this. Subsequent patches will handle the reverse case and more general
operations between vectors and their scalar elements.

It adds the various FMA instructions introduced in the version 2.07 of
the ISA along with the testing for them. These are operations on single
precision scalar values in VSX registers.

Following up on the VSX single precision loads and stores added earlier, this
adds support for elementary arithmetic operations on single precision values
in VSX registers. These instructions utilize the new VSSRC register class.
Instructions added:
xsaddsp
xsdivsp
xsmulsp
xsresp
xsrsqrtesp
xssqrtsp
xssubsp

It adds a new register class to the PPC back end to contain single precision
values in VSX registers. Additionally, it adds scalar loads and stores for
VSX registers.

Match binutils by supporting the optional register name prefix for new vector
registers ("vs" for VSX registers and "q" for QPX registers).

TableGen had been nicely generating code to print a number of instructions using
shorter aliases (and PowerPC has plenty of short mnemonics), but we were not
calling it. For some of the aliases we support in the parser, TableGen can't
infer the "inverse" alias relationship, so there is still more to do.
Thus, after some hours of updating test cases...

It adds direct move instructions to/from VSX registers to GPR's. These are
exploited for FP <-> INT conversions.

The VSX instruction definitions for lxsdx, lxvd2x, lxvdsx, and lxvw4x
incorrectly use the XForm_1 instruction format, rather than the
XX1Form instruction format. This is likely a pasto when creating
these instructions, which were based on lvx and so forth. This patch
uses the correct format.
The existing reformatting test (test/MC/PowerPC/vsx.s) missed this
because the two formats differ only in that XX1Form has an extension
to the target register field in bit 31. The tests for these
instructions used a target register of 7, so the default of 0 in bit
31 for XForm_1 didn't expose a problem. For register numbers 32-63
this would be noticeable. I've changed the test to use higher
register numbers to verify my change is effective.

As a first step towards real little-endian code generation, this patch
changes the PowerPC MC layer to actually generate little-endian object
files. This involves passing the little-endian flag through the various
layers, including down to createELFObjectWriter so we actually get basic
little-endian ELF objects, emitting instructions in little-endian order,
and handling fixups and relocations as appropriate for little-endian.
The bulk of the patch is to update most test cases in test/MC/PowerPC
to verify both big- and little-endian encodings. (The only test cases
*not* updated are those that create actual big-endian ABI code, like
the TLS tests.)
Note that while the object files are now little-endian, the generated
code itself is not yet updated, in particular, it still does not adhere
to the ELFv2 ABI.

VSX is an ISA extension supported on the POWER7 and later cores that enhances
floating-point vector and scalar capabilities. Among other things, this adds
<2 x double> support and generally helps to reduce register pressure.
The interesting part of this ISA feature is the register configuration: there
are 64 new 128-bit vector registers, the 32 of which are super-registers of the
existing 32 scalar floating-point registers, and the second 32 of which overlap
with the 32 Altivec vector registers. This makes things like vector insertion
and extraction tricky: this can be free but only if we force a restriction to
the right register subclass when needed. A new "minipass" PPCVSXCopy takes care
of this (although it could do a more-optimal job of it; see the comment about
unnecessary copies below).
Please note that, currently, VSX is not enabled by default when targeting
anything because it is not yet ready for that. The assembler and disassembler
are fully implemented and tested. However:
- CodeGen support causes miscompiles; test-suite runtime failures:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/distray/distray
MultiSource/Benchmarks/McCat/08-main/main
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Olden/voronoi/voronoi
MultiSource/Benchmarks/mafft/pairlocalalign
MultiSource/Benchmarks/tramp3d-v4/tramp3d-v4
SingleSource/Benchmarks/CoyoteBench/almabench
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/matmul_f64_4x4
- The lowering currently falls back to using Altivec instructions far more
than it should. Worse, there are some things that are scalarized through the
stack that shouldn't be.
- A lot of unnecessary copies make it past the optimizers, and this needs to
be fixed.
- Many more regression tests are needed.
Normally, I'd fix these things prior to committing, but there are some
students and other contributors who would like to work this, and so it makes
sense to move this development process upstream where it can be subject to the
regular code-review procedures.
