Since (v)pslldq / (v)psrldq instructions resolve to a single input argument it is useful to match it much earlier than we currently do - this prevents more complicated shuffles (notably insertion into a zero vector) matching before it.

Patch to allow (v)blendps, (v)blendpd, (v)pblendw and vpblendd instructions to be commuted - swaps the src registers and inverts the blend mask.
This is primarily to improve memory folding (see new tests), but it also improves the quality of shuffles (see modified tests).

This trades a (register-renamer-friendly) movaps for a floating point
/ integer domain cross. That is a very bad trade, even on architectures
where domain crossing is relatively fast. On any chip where there is
even a cycle stall, this is a Very Bad Idea. It doesn't even seem likely
to cause a spill to be introduced because the reason for the copy is to
destructively shuffle in place.
Thanks to Ben Kramer for fixing a bug in this code that my new shuffle
lowering exposed and highlighting that perhaps it should just go away.

the various ways in which blends can be used to do vector element
insertion for lowering with the scalar math instruction forms that
effectively re-blend with the high elements after performing the
operation.
This then allows me to bail on the element insertion lowering path when
we have SSE4.1 and are going to be doing a normal blend, which in turn
restores the last of the blends lost from the new vector shuffle
lowering when I got it to prioritize insertion in other cases (for
example when we don't *have* a blend instruction).
Without the patterns, using blends here would have regressed
sse-scalar-fp-arith.ll *completely* with the new vector shuffle
lowering. For completeness, I've added RUN-lines with the new lowering
here. This is somewhat superfluous as I'm about to flip the default, but
hey, it shows that this actually significantly changed behavior.
The patterns I've added are just ridiculously repetative. Suggestions on
making them better very much welcome. In particular, handling the
commuted form of the v2f64 patterns is somewhat obnoxious.
llvm-svn: 219033
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.
llvm-svn: 218985
lowering to match VZEXT_MOVL patterns.
I hadn't realized that these had sufficient pattern smarts in the
backend to lower zext-ing from the low element of a vector without it
being a scalar_to_vector node. They do, and this is how to match a bunch
of patterns for movq, movss, etc.
There is a weird propensity to end up using pshufd to place the element
afterward even though it means domain crossing (or rather, to use
xorps+movss to zext the element rather than movq) but that's an
orthogonal problem with VZEXT_MOVL that someone should probably look at.
llvm-svn: 218977
vector to a zero vector for the v2 cases and fix the v4 integer cases to
actually blend from a vector.
There are already seprate tests for the case of inserting from a scalar.
These cases cover a lot of the regressions I've seen in the regression
test suite for the new vector shuffle lowering and specifically cover
the reported lack of using various zext-ing instruction patterns. My
next patch should fix a big chunk of this, but wanted to get a nice
baseline for these patterns in the test cases first.
llvm-svn: 218976
matching and lowering 64-bit insertions.
The first problem was that we weren't looking through bitcasts to
discover that we *could* lower as insertions. Once fixed, we in turn
weren't looking through bitcasts to discover that we could fold a load
into the lowering. Once fixed, we weren't forming a SCALAR_TO_VECTOR
node around the inserted element and instead were passing a scalar to
a DAG node that expected a vector. It turns out there are some patterns
that will "lower" this into the correct asm, but the rest of the X86
backend is very unhappy with such antics.
This should fix a few more edge case regressions I've spotted going
through the regression test suite to enable the new vector shuffle
lowering.
llvm-svn: 218839
that keep cropping up in the regression test suite.
This also addresses one of the issues raised on the mailing list with
failing to form 'movsd' in as many cases as we realistically should.
There will be corresponding patches forthcoming for v4f32 at least. This
was a lot of fuss for a relatively small gain, but all the fuss was on
my end trying different ways of holding the pieces of the x86 fragment
patterns *just right*. Now that it works, the code is reasonably simple.
In the new test cases I'm adding here, v2i64 sticks out as just plain
horrible. I've not come up with any great ideas here other than that it
would be nice to recognize when we're *going* to take a domain crossing
hit and cross earlier to get the decent instructions. At least with AVX
it is slightly less silly....

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

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.
llvm-svn: 218710
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.

single-input shuffles with doubles. This allows them to fold memory
operands into the shuffle, etc. This is just the analog to the v4f32
case in my prior commit.
llvm-svn: 218193
floating point types and use it for both v2f64 and v2i64 single-element
insertion lowering.
This fixes the last non-AVX performance regression test case I've gotten
of for the new vector shuffle lowering. There is obvious analogous
lowering for v4f32 that I'll add in a follow-up patch (because with
INSERTPS, v4f32 requires special treatment). After that, its AVX stuff.
llvm-svn: 218175
There is no purpose in using it for single-input shuffles as
pshufd is just as fast and doesn't tie the two operands. This removes
a substantial amount of wrong-domain blend operations in SSSE3 mode. It
also completes the usage of PALIGNR for integer shuffles and addresses
one of the test cases Quentin hit with the new vector shuffle lowering.
There is still the question of whether and when to use this for floating
point shuffles. It is faster than shufps or shufpd but in the integer
domain. I don't yet really have a good heuristic here for when to use
this instruction for floating point vectors.
llvm-svn: 218038
when SSE4.1 is available.
This removes a ton of domain crossing from blend code paths that were
ending up in the floating point code path.
This is just the tip of the iceberg though. The real switch is for
integer blend lowering to more actively rely on this instruction being
available so we don't hit shufps at all any longer. =] That will come in
a follow-up patch.
Another place where we need better support is for using PBLENDVB when
doing so avoids the need to have two complementary PSHUFB masks.
llvm-svn: 217767
These are super simple. They even take precedence over crazy
instructions like INSERTPS because they have very high throughput on
modern x86 chips.
I still have to teach the integer shuffle variants about this to avoid
so many domain crossings. However, due to the particular instructions
available, that's a touch more complex and so a separate patch.
Also, the backend doesn't seem to realize it can commute blend
instructions by negating the mask. That would help remove a number of
copies here. Suggestions on how to do this welcome, it's an area I'm
less familiar with.
llvm-svn: 217744
support transforming the forms from the new vector shuffle lowering to
use 'movddup' when appropriate.
A bunch of the cases where we actually form 'movddup' don't actually
show up in the test results because something even later than DAG
legalization maps them back to 'unpcklpd'. If this shows back up as
a performance problem, I'll probably chase it down, but it is at least
an encoded size loss. =/
To make this work, also always do this canonicalizing step for floating
point vectors where the baseline shuffle instructions don't provide any
free copies of their inputs. This also causes us to canonicalize
unpck[hl]pd into mov{hl,lh}ps (resp.) which is a nice encoding space
win.
There is one test which is "regressed" by this: extractelement-load.
There, the test case where the optimization it is testing *fails*, the
exact instruction pattern which results is slightly different. This
should probably be fixed by having the appropriate extract formed
earlier in the DAG, but that would defeat the purpose of the test.... If
this test case is critically important for anyone, please let me know
and I'll try to work on it. The prior behavior was actually contrary to
the comment in the test case and seems likely to have been an accident.
llvm-svn: 217738
support for MOVDDUP which is really important for matrix multiply style
operations that do lots of non-vector-aligned load and splats.
The original motivation was to add support for MOVDDUP as the lack of it
regresses matmul_f64_4x4 by 5% or so. However, all of the rules here
were somewhat suspicious.
First, we should always be using the floating point domain shuffles,
regardless of how many copies we have to make as a movapd is *crazy*
faster than the domain switching cost on some chips. (Mostly because
movapd is crazy cheap.) Because SHUFPD can't do the copy-for-free trick
of the PSHUF instructions, there is no need to avoid canonicalizing on
UNPCK variants, so do that canonicalizing. This also ensures we have the
chance to form MOVDDUP. =]
Second, we assume SSE2 support when doing any vector lowering, and given
that we should just use UNPCKLPD and UNPCKHPD as they can operate on
registers or memory. If vectors get spilled or come from memory at all
this is going to allow the load to be folded into the operation. If we
want to optimize for encoding size (the only difference, and only
a 2 byte difference) it should be done *much* later, likely after RA.
llvm-svn: 217332
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.
