This patch builds on http://reviews.llvm.org/D5598 to perform byte rotation shuffles (lowerVectorShuffleAsByteRotate) on pre-SSSE3 (palignr) targets - pre-SSSE3 is only enabled on i8 and i16 vector targets where it is a more definite performance gain.
I've also added a separate byte shift shuffle (lowerVectorShuffleAsByteShift) that makes use of the ability of the SLLDQ/SRLDQ instructions to implicitly shift in zero bytes to avoid the need to create a zero register if we had used palignr.

getTargetConstant should only be used when you can guarantee the instruction
selected will be able to cope with the raw value. BUILD_VECTOR is rather too
generic for this so we should use getConstant instead. In that case, an
instruction can still consume the constant, but if it doesn't it'll be
materialised through its own round of ISel.
Should fix PR21352.

new vector shuffle lowering.
This is loosely based on a patch by Marius Wachtler to the PR (thanks!).
I refactored it a bi to use std::count_if and a mutable array ref but
the core idea was exactly right. I also added some direct testing of
this case.
I believe PR21137 is now the only remaining regression.

and MOVSD nodes for single element vector inserts.
This is particularly important because a number of patterns in the
backend detect these patterns and leverage them to simplify things. It
also fixes quite a few of the insertion bad code examples. However, it
regresses a specific area: when available, blendps and blendpd are
*dramatically* faster than movss and movsd respectively. But it doesn't
really work to form the blend logic first because the blends *aren't* as
crazy efficient when the data is coming from memory anyways, and thus
will have a movss or movsd regardless. Also, doing that would block
a bunch of the patterns that this is designed to hit.
So my plan is to go into the patterns for lowering MOVSS and MOVSD and
lower them via blends when available. However that's a pretty invasive
restructuring so it will need to be a follow-up patch.
I have already gone into the patterns to lower MOVSS and MOVSD from
memory using MOVLPD, etc. Without that, several of the test cases
I already have regress.

This has the somewhat expected pervasive impact. I don't know why
I forgot about this. Everything seems good with lots of significant

cases.
While clearly we don't need the AVX vector width, these ISA extensions
often cause us to select different instructions and we should cover them
even with the narrow vector width.
Also, while here, nuke the stress_test2 contents. There is no reason to
try to FileCheck this entire body when it is mostly a test for
successfully surviving the code generator.

updating script so that they are more thorough and consistent.
Specific fixes here include:
- Actually test VEX-encoded AVX mnemonics.
- Actually use an SSE 4.1 run to test SSE 4.1 features!
- Correctly check instructions sequences from the start of the function.
- Elide the shuffle operands and comment designator in a consistent way.
- Test all of the architectures instead of just the ones I was motivated
to manually author.
I've gone back through and fixed up any egregious issues I spotted. Let
me know if I missed something you really dislike.
One downside to this is that we're now not as diligently using FileCheck
variables for registers. I would be much more concerned with this if we
had larger register usage, but there just aren't that interesting of
register choices here and most of the registers are constrained by the
ABI. Ultimately, I don't think this is likely to be the maintenance
burden for these tests and updating them again should be staright
forward.

of widening masks.
We can't widen a zeroing mask unless both elements that would be merged
are either zeroed or undef. This is the only way to widen a mask if it
has a zeroed element.
Also clean up the code here by ordering the checks in a more logical way
and by using the symoblic values for undef and zero. I'm actually torn
on using the symbolic values because the existing code is littered with
the assumption that -1 is undef, and moreover that entries '< 0' are the
special entries. While that works with the values given to these
constants, using the symbolic constants actually makes it a bit more
opaque why this is the case.
llvm-svn: 218575
that managed to elude all of my fuzz testing historically. =/
Something changed to allow this code path to actually be exercised and
it was doing bad things. It is especially heavily exercised by the
patterns that emerge when doing AVX shuffles that end up lowered through
the 128-bit code path.
llvm-svn: 218540
undef in the shuffle mask. This shows up when we're printing comments
during lowering and we still have an IR-level constant hanging around
that models undef.
A nice consequence of this is *much* prettier test cases where the undef
lanes actually show up as undef rather than as a particular set of
values. This also allows us to print shuffle comments in cases that use
undef such as the recently added variable VPERMILPS lowering. Now those
test cases have nice shuffle comments attached with their details.
The shuffle lowering for PSHUFB has been augmented to use undef, and the
shuffle combining has been augmented to comprehend it.

lowering to support both anyext and zext and to custom lower for many
different microarchitectures.
Using this allows us to get *exactly* the right code for zext and anyext
shuffles in all the vector sizes. For v16i8, the improvement is *huge*.
The new SSE2 test case added I refused to add before this because it was
sooooo muny instructions.
llvm-svn: 218143
to undef lanes as well as defined widenable lanes. This dramatically
improves the lowering we use for undef-shuffles in a zext-ish pattern
for SSE2.
llvm-svn: 218115
Not sure why I only did SSSE3 here. Also, I've left out some of the SSE2
ones because the shuffles are so absurd it's not worth transcribing
them. Will try to fix them to be sane and then check them.
llvm-svn: 218114
to the new vector shuffle lowering code.
This allows us to emit PMOVZX variants consistently for patterns where
it is a viable lowering. This instruction is both fast and allows us to
fold loads into it. This only hooks the new lowering up for i16 and i8
element widths, mostly so I could manage the change to the tests. I'll
add the i32 one next, although it is significantly less interesting.
One thing to note is that we already had some tests for these patterns
but those tests had far less horrible instructions. The problem is that
those tests weren't checking the strict start and end of the instruction
sequence. =[ As a consequence something changed in the lowering making
us generate *TERRIBLE* code for these patterns in SSE2 through SSSE3.
I've consolidated all of the tests and spelled out the madness that we
currently emit for these shuffles. I'm going to try to figure out what
has gone wrong here.
llvm-svn: 218102
PALIGNR. This just adds it to the v8i16 and v16i8 lowering steps where
it is completely unmatched. It also introduces the logic for detecting
rotation shuffle masks even in the presence of single input or blend
masks and arbitrarily undef lanes.
I've added fairly comprehensive tests for the matching logic in v8i16
because the tests at that size are much easier to write and manage.
I've not checked the SSE2 code generated for these tests because the
code is *horrible*. It is absolute madness. Testing it will just make
the test brittle without giving any interesting improvements in the
correctness confidence.

shuffle lowering for integer vectors and share it from v4i32, v8i16, and

Ironically, the SSE2 v16i8 code for this is now better than the SSSE3!
=] Will have to fix the SSSE3 code next to just using a single pshufb.

This combine is essentially combining target-specific nodes back into target
independent nodes that it "knows" will be combined yet again by a target
independent DAG combine into a different set of target-independent nodes that
are legal (not custom though!) and thus "ok". This seems... deeply flawed. The
crux of the problem is that we don't combine un-legalized shuffles that are
introduced by legalizing other operations, and thus we don't see a very
profitable combine opportunity. So the backend just forces the input to that
combine to re-appear.
However, for this to work, the conditions detected to re-form the unlegalized
nodes must be *exactly* right. Previously, failing this would have caused poor
code (if you're lucky) or a crasher when we failed to select instructions.
After r215611 we would fall back into the legalizer. In some cases, this just
"fixed" the crasher by produces bad code. But in the test case added it caused
the legalizer and the dag combiner to iterate forever.
The fix is to make the alignment checking in the x86 side of things match the
alignment checking in the generic DAG combine exactly. This isn't really a
satisfying or principled fix, but it at least make the code work as intended.
It also highlights that it would be nice to detect the availability of under
aligned loads for a given type rather than bailing on this optimization. I've
left a FIXME to document this.
Original commit message for r215611 which covers the rest of the chang:
[SDAG] Fix a case where we would iteratively legalize a node during
combining by replacing it with something else but not re-process the
node afterward to remove it.
In a truly remarkable stroke of bad luck, this would (in the test case
attached) end up getting some other node combined into it without ever
getting re-processed. By adding it back on to the worklist, in addition
to deleting the dead nodes more quickly we also ensure that if it
*stops* being dead for any reason it makes it back through the
legalizer. Without this, the test case will end up failing during
instruction selection due to an and node with a type we don't have an
instruction pattern for.
It took many million runs of the shuffle fuzz tester to find this.
llvm-svn: 216537
broken logic for merging shuffle masks in the face of SM_SentinelZero
mask operands.
While these are '-1' they don't mean 'undef' the way '-1' means in the
pre-legalized shuffle masks. Instead, they mean that the shuffle
operation is forcibly zeroing that lane. Reflect this and explicitly
handle it in a bunch of places. In one place the effect is equivalent
but much more clear. In the rest it was really weirdly broken.
Also, rewrite the entire merging thing to be a more directy operation
with a single loop and just doing math to map the indices through the
various masks.
Also add a bunch of asserts to try to make in extremely clear what the
different masks can possibly look like.
Finally, add some comments to clarify that we're merging shuffle masks
*up* here rather than *down* as we do everywhere else, and thus the
logic is quite confusing.
Thanks to several different people for sending test cases, and for
Robert Khasanov for an initial attempt at fixing.
llvm-svn: 215687
input node after manually adding it to the worklist and using CombineTo.
Once we use CombineTo the input node may have been deleted. Despite this
being *completely confusing* and somewhat broken, the only way to
"correctly" return from a DAG combine after potentially deleting the
input node is to return *that exact node*....
But really, this code should just never have used CombineTo. It won't do
what it wants (returning the node as mentioned above just causes the
combine to infloop). The correct way to combine away a casted load to
a load of the correct type is to RAUW the chain directly and then return
the loaded value to replace the actual value node.
I managed to find this with the vector shuffle fuzzer even though it
clearly has nothing at all to do with vector shuffles and rather those
happen to trigger a load of a constant pool that hits this combine *just
right*. I've included the test as it is small and a nice stress test
that the infrastructure isn't asserting.

use of PACKUS. It's cleaner that way.
I looked at implementing clever combine-based folding of PACKUS chains
into PSHUFB but it is quite hard and doesn't seem likely to be worth it.
The most annoying part would be detecting that the correct masking had
been done to use PACKUS-style instructions as a blend operation rather
than there being any saturating as is indicated by its name. We generate
really nice code for what few test cases I've come up with that aren't
completely contrived for this by just directly prefering PSHUFB and so
let's go with that strategy for now. =]
llvm-svn: 214707
patterns of v16i8 shuffles.
This implements one of the more important FIXMEs for the SSE2 support in
the new shuffle lowering. We now generate the optimal shuffle sequence
for truncate-derived shuffles which show up essentially everywhere.
Unfortunately, this exposes a weakness in other parts of the shuffle
logic -- we can no longer form PSHUFB here. I'll add the necessary
support for that and other things in a subsequent commit.
llvm-svn: 214702
I spent some time looking into a better or more principled way to handle
this. For example, by detecting arbitrary "unneeded" ORs... But really,
there wasn't any point. We just shouldn't build blatantly wrong code so
late in the pipeline rather than adding more stages and logic later on
to fix it. Avoiding this is just too simple.
llvm-svn: 214680
lowering with a small addition to it and adding PSHUFB combining.
There is one obvious place in the new vector shuffle lowering where we
should form PSHUFBs directly: when without them we will unpack a vector
of i8s across two different registers and do a potentially 4-way blend
as i16s only to re-pack them into i8s afterward. This is the crazy
expensive fallback path for i8 shuffles and we can just directly use
pshufb here as it will always be cheaper (the unpack and pack are
two instructions so even a single shuffle between them hits our
three instruction limit for forming PSHUFB).
However, this doesn't generate very good code in many cases, and it
leaves a bunch of common patterns not using PSHUFB. So this patch also
adds support for extracting a shuffle mask from PSHUFB in the X86
lowering code, and uses it to handle PSHUFBs in the recursive shuffle
combining. This allows us to combine through them, combine multiple ones
together, and generally produce sufficiently high quality code.
Extracting the PSHUFB mask is annoyingly complex because it could be
either pre-legalization or post-legalization. At least this doesn't have
to deal with re-materialized constants. =] I've added decode routines to
handle the different patterns that show up at this level and we dispatch
through them as appropriate.
The two primary test cases are updated. For the v16 test case there is
still a lot of room for improvement. Since I was going through it
systematically I left behind a bunch of FIXME lines that I'm hoping to
turn into ALL lines by the end of this.
llvm-svn: 214628
shuffle lowering: match shuffle patterns equivalent to an unpcklwd or
unpckhwd instruction.
This allows us to use generic lowering code for v8i16 shuffles and match
the unpack pattern late.
llvm-svn: 212705
combine into half-shuffles through unpack instructions that expand the
half to a whole vector without messing with the dword lanes.
This fixes some redundant instructions in splat-like lowerings for
v16i8, which are now getting to be *really* nice.
llvm-svn: 212695
that splat i8s into i16s.
Previously, we would try much too hard to arrange a sequence of i8s in
one half of the input such that we could unpack them into i16s and
shuffle those into place. This isn't always going to be a cheaper i8
shuffle than our other strategies. The case where it is always going to
be cheaper is when we can arrange all the necessary inputs into one half
using just i16 shuffles. It happens that viewing the problem this way
also makes it much easier to produce an efficient set of shuffles to
move the inputs into one half and then unpack them.
With this, our splat code gets one step closer to being not terrible
with the new experimental lowering strategy. It also exposes two
combines missing which I will add next.
llvm-svn: 212692
shuffles specifically for cases where a small subset of the elements in
the input vector are actually used.
This is specifically targetted at improving the shuffles generated for
trunc operations, but also helps out splat-like operations.
There is still some really low-hanging fruit here that I want to address
but this is a huge step in the right direction.
llvm-svn: 212680
essentially a DAG combine that never gets a chance to run.
We might typically expect DAG combining to remove shuffles-of-splats and
other similar patterns, but we don't get a chance to run the DAG
combiner when we recursively form sub-shuffles during the lowering of
a shuffle. So instead hand-roll a really important combine directly into
the lowering code to detect shuffles-of-splats, especially shuffles of
an all-zero splat which needn't even have the same element width, etc.
This lets the new vector shuffle lowering handle shuffles which
implement things like zero-extension really nicely. This will become
even more important when I wire the legalization of zero-extension to
vector shuffles with the new widening legalization strategy.
llvm-svn: 212444
lowering for v16i8.
ASan and some bots caught this bug with existing test cases. Fixing it
even fixed a miscompile with one of the test cases. I'm still a bit
suspicious of this test case as I've not taken a proper amount of time
to think about it, but the fix here is strict goodness.
llvm-svn: 211976
These show up really frequently, not the least with actual splats. =] We
lowered these quite badly before. The new code path tries to widen i8
shuffles to i16 shuffles in a splat-like way. There are still some
inefficiencies in our i16 splat logic though, so we aren't really done
here.
Also, for certain patterns (bit of a gather-and-splat) we still
generate pretty silly code, and I've left a fixme for addressing it.
However, I'm not actually worried about this code pattern as much. The
old shuffle lowering generates a 29 instruction monstrosity for it that
should execute much more slowly.
llvm-svn: 211974
a bootstrap.
I managed to mis-remember how PACKUS worked on x86, and was using undef
for the high bytes instead of zero. The fix is fairly obvious.
llvm-svn: 211922
x86 backend.
This sketches out a new code path for vector lowering, hidden behind an
off-by-default flag while it is under development. The fundamental idea
behind the new code path is to aggressively break down the problem space
in ways that ease selecting the odd set of instructions available on
x86, and carefully avoid scalarizing code even when forced to use older
ISAs. Notably, this starts off restricting itself to SSE2 and implements
the complete vector shuffle and blend space for 128-bit vectors in SSE2
without scalarizing. The plan is to layer on top of this ISA extensions
where we can bail out of the complex SSE2 lowering and opt for
a cheaper, specialized instruction (or set of instructions). It also
needs to be generalized to AVX and AVX512 vector widths.
Currently, this does a decent but not perfect job for SSE2. There are
some specific shortcomings that I plan to address:
- We need a peephole combine to fold together shuffles where possible.
There are cases where a previous shuffle could be modified slightly to
arrange for elements to be in the correct position and a later shuffle
eliminated. Doing this eagerly added quite a bit of complexity, and
so my plan is to combine away these redundancies afterward.
- There are a lot more clever ways to use unpck and pack that need to be
added. This is essential for real world shuffles as it turns out...
Once SSE2 is polished a bit I should be able to get interesting numbers
on performance improvements on benchmarks conducive to vectorization.
All of this will be off by default until it is functionally equivalent
of course.
