Implements the various TTI functions to enable constant hoisting on PPC. The
only significant test-suite change is this:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/VersaBench/bmm/bmm - 20% speedup
(which essentially reverses the slowdown from r206120).
llvm-svn: 206141
This provides more realistic costs for the insert/extractelement instructions
(which are load/store pairs), accounts for the cheap unaligned Altivec load
sequence, and for unaligned VSX load/stores.
Bad news:
MultiSource/Applications/sgefa/sgefa - 35% slowdown (this will require more investigation)
SingleSource/Benchmarks/McGill/queens - 20% slowdown (we no longer vectorize this, but it was a constant store that was scalarized)
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/pcompress2/pcompress2 - 2% slowdown
Good news:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/ary3 - 54% speedup
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/ary - 40% speedup
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Ptrdist/ks/ks - 35% speedup
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/neural/neural - 30% speedup
MultiSource/Benchmarks/TSVC/Symbolics-flt/Symbolics-flt - 20% speedup
Unfortunately, estimating the costs of the stack-based scalarization sequences
is hard, and adjusting these costs is like a game of whac-a-mole :( I'll
revisit this again after we have better codegen for vector extloads and
truncstores and unaligned load/stores.

PPCTTI::getMemoryOpCost will now make use of BasicTTI::getMemoryOpCost to
calculate the base cost of the memory access, and then adjust on top of that.
There is no functionality change from this modification, but it will become
important so that PPCTTI can take advantage of scalarization information for which
BasicTTI::getMemoryOpCost will account in the near future.

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.

the stack of the analysis group because they are all immutable passes.
This is made clear by Craig's recent work to use override
systematically -- we weren't overriding anything for 'finalizePass'
because there is no such thing.
This is kind of a lame restriction on the API -- we can no longer push
and pop things, we just set up the stack and run. However, I'm not
invested in building some better solution on top of the existing
(terrifying) immutable pass and legacy pass manager.

subsequent changes are easier to review. About to fix some layering
issues, and wanted to separate out the necessary churn.
Also comment and sink the include of "Windows.h" in three .inc files to
match the usage in Memory.inc.

The PowerPC A2 core greatly benefits from aggressive concatenation unrolling;
use the new getUnrollingPreferences to enable this by default when targeting
the PPC A2 core.

On certain architectures we can support efficient vectorized version of
instructions if the operand value is uniform (splat) or a constant scalar.
An example of this is a vector shift on x86.
We can efficiently support
for (i = 0 ; i < ; i += 4)
w[0:3] = v[0:3] << <2, 2, 2, 2>
but not
for (i = 0; i < ; i += 4)
w[0:3] = v[0:3] << x[0:3]
This patch adds a parameter to getArithmeticInstrCost to further qualify operand
values as uniform or uniform constant.
Targets can then choose to return a different cost for instructions with such
operand values.
A follow-up commit will test this feature on x86.

PPC ISA 2.06 (P7, A2, etc.) has a popcntd instruction. Add this instruction and
tell TTI about it so that popcount-loop recognition will know about it.

Thanks to help from Nadav and Hal, I have a more reasonable (and even
correct!) approach. This specifically penalizes the insertelement
and extractelement operations for the performance hit that will occur
on PowerPC processors.
llvm-svn: 174725
Certain vector operations don't vectorize well with the current
PowerPC implementation. Element insert/extract performs poorly
without VSX support because Altivec requires going through memory.
SREM, UREM, and VSELECT all produce bad scalar code.
There's a lot of work to do for the cost model before
autovectorization will be tuned well, and this is not an attempt to
address the larger problem.
llvm-svn: 174660
This provides a place to add customized operation cost information and
control some other target-specific IR-level transformations.
The only non-trivial logic in this checkin assigns a higher cost to
unaligned loads and stores (covered by the included test case).
