This "itinerary class map" in PPCSchedule.td is incomplete and
redundant with the actual code. As it provides no value, we've
decided to remove it.
No functional change.

isel is actually a cracked instruction on the P7/P8, and must start a dispatch
group. The scheduling model should reflect this so that we don't bunch too many
of them together when possible.
Thanks to Bill Schmidt and Pat Haugen for helping to sort this out.

This adds a scheduling model for the POWER7 (P7) core, and enables the
machine-instruction scheduler when targeting the P7. Scheduling for the P7,
like earlier ooo PPC cores, requires considering both dispatch group hazards,
and functional unit resources and latencies. These are both modeled in a
combined itinerary. Dispatch group formation is still handled by the post-RA
scheduler (which still needs to be updated for the P7, but nevertheless does a
pretty good job).
One interesting aspect of this change is that I've also enabled to use of AA
duing CodeGen for the P7 (just as it is for the embedded cores). The benchmark
results seem to support this decision (see below), and while this is normally
useful for in-order cores, and not for ooo cores like the P7, I think that the
dispatch slot hazards are enough like in-order resources to make the AA useful.
Test suite significant performance differences (where negative is a speedup,
and positive is a regression) vs. the current situation:

These are 99.5% confidence intervals from 5 runs per configuration. Regarding
the choice to turn on AA during CodeGen, of these results, four seem
significantly in favor of using AA, and one seems significantly against. I'm
not making this decision based on these numbers alone, but these results
seem consistent with results I have from other tests, and so I think that, on
balance, using AA is a win.

In preparation for adding scheduling definitions for the POWER7, split some PPC
itinerary classes so that the P7's latencies and hazards can be better
described. For the most part, this means differentiating indexed from non-index
pre-increment loads and stores. Also, differentiate single from
double-precision sqrt.
No functionality change intended (except for a more-specific latency for
single-precision sqrt on the A2).
llvm-svn: 195980
Instead of sharing functional unit names between the various PPC itineraries,
give each core its own unit names prefixed with the core name. This follows
the convention used by other backends (such as ARM), and removes a non-obvious
ordering dependency between the various PPCSchedule*.td files.
No functionality change intended.

This adds the IIC_ prefix to the instruction itinerary class names, giving the
PPC backend a naming convention for itinerary classes that is more consistent
with that used by the X86 and ARM backends.
Instruction scheduling in the PPC backend needs a bunch of cleanup and
improvement (especially for the ooo cores). This is just a preliminary step.
No functionality change intended.

Slight reorganisation of PPC instruction classes for scheduling. No
functionality change for existing subtargets.
- Clearly separate load/store-with-update instructions from regular loads and stores.
- Split IntRotateD -> IntRotateD and IntRotateDI
- Split out fsub and fadd from FPGeneral -> FPAddSub
- Update existing itineraries

This adds a full itinerary for IBM's PPC64 A2 embedded core. These
cores form the basis for the CPUs in the new IBM BG/Q supercomputer.

Loads and stores can have different pipeline behavior, especially on
embedded chips. This change allows those differences to be expressed.
Except for the 440 scheduler, there are no functionality changes.
On the 440, the latency adjustment is only by one cycle, and so this
probably does not affect much. Nevertheless, it will make a larger
difference in the future and this removes a FIXME from the 440 itin.
