The default logic marks them as too expensive.
For example, before this patch we estimated:
cost of 16 for instruction: %r = uitofp <4 x i16> %v0 to <4 x float>
While this translates to:
vmovl.u16 q8, d16
vcvt.f32.u32 q8, q8
All other costs are left to the values assigned by the fallback logic. Theses
costs are mostly reasonable in the sense that they get progressively more
expensive as the instruction sequences emitted get longer.

Fix cost of some "cheap" cast instructions. Before this patch we used to
estimate for example:
cost of 16 for instruction: %r = fptoui <4 x float> %v0 to <4 x i16>
While we would emit:
vcvt.s32.f32 q8, q8
vmovn.i32 d16, q8
vuzp.8 d16, d17
All other costs are left to the values assigned by the fallback logic. Theses
costs are mostly reasonable in the sense that they get progressively more
expensive as the instruction sequences emitted get longer.

I was too pessimistic in r177105. Vector selects that fit into a legal register
type lower just fine. I was mislead by the code fragment that I was using. The
stores/loads that I saw in those cases came from lowering the conditional off
an address.
Changing the code fragment to:
%T0_3 = type <8 x i18>
%T1_3 = type <8 x i1>
define void @func_blend3(%T0_3* %loadaddr, %T0_3* %loadaddr2,
%T1_3* %blend, %T0_3* %storeaddr) {
%v0 = load %T0_3* %loadaddr
%v1 = load %T0_3* %loadaddr2
==> FROM:
;%c = load %T1_3* %blend
==> TO:
%c = icmp slt %T0_3 %v0, %v1
==> USE:
%r = select %T1_3 %c, %T0_3 %v0, %T0_3 %v1
store %T0_3 %r, %T0_3* %storeaddr
ret void
}
revealed this mistake.

By terrible I mean we store/load from the stack.
This matters on PAQp8 in _Z5trainPsS_ii (which is inlined into Mixer::update)
where we decide to vectorize a loop with a VF of 8 resulting in a 25%
degradation on a cortex-a8.
LV: Found an estimated cost of 2 for VF 8 For instruction: icmp slt i32
LV: Found an estimated cost of 2 for VF 8 For instruction: select i1, i32, i32
The bug that tracks the CodeGen part is PR14868.

Increase the cost of v8/v16-i8 to v8/v16-i32 casts and truncates as the backend
currently lowers those using stack accesses.
This was responsible for a significant degradation on
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Trimaran/enc-pc1/enc-pc1
where we vectorize one loop to a vector factor of 16. After this patch we select
a vector factor of 4 which will generate reasonable code.
unsigned char cle[32];
void test(short c) {
unsigned short compte;
for (compte = 0; compte <= 31; compte++) {
cle[compte] = cle[compte] ^ c;
}
}

Adds a function to target transform info to query for the cost of address
computation. The cost model analysis pass now also queries this interface.
The code in LoopVectorize adds the cost of address computation as part of the
memory instruction cost calculation. Only there, we know whether the instruction
will be scalarized or not.
Increase the penality for inserting in to D registers on swift. This becomes
necessary because we now always assume that address computation has a cost and
three is a closer value to the architecture.

Swift has a renaming dependency if we load into D subregisters. We don't have a
way of distinguishing between insertelement operations of values from loads and
other values. Therefore, we are pessimistic for now (The performance problem
showed up in example 14 of gcc-loops).

Changing ARMBaseTargetMachine to return ARMTargetLowering intead of
the generic one (similar to x86 code).
Tests showing which instructions were added to cast when necessary
or cost zero when not. Downcast to 16 bits are not lowered in NEON,
so costs are not there yet.

a TargetMachine to construct (and thus isn't always available), to an
analysis group that supports layered implementations much like
AliasAnalysis does. This is a pretty massive change, with a few parts
that I was unable to easily separate (sorry), so I'll walk through it.
The first step of this conversion was to make TargetTransformInfo an
analysis group, and to sink the nonce implementations in
ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTranformInfo into
a NoTargetTransformInfo pass. This allows other passes to add a hard
requirement on TTI, and assume they will always get at least on
implementation.
The TargetTransformInfo analysis group leverages the delegation chaining
trick that AliasAnalysis uses, where the base class for the analysis
group delegates to the previous analysis *pass*, allowing all but tho
NoFoo analysis passes to only implement the parts of the interfaces they
support. It also introduces a new trick where each pass in the group
retains a pointer to the top-most pass that has been initialized. This
allows passes to implement one API in terms of another API and benefit
when some other pass above them in the stack has more precise results
for the second API.
The second step of this conversion is to create a pass that implements
the TargetTransformInfo analysis using the target-independent
abstractions in the code generator. This replaces the
ScalarTargetTransformImpl and VectorTargetTransformImpl classes in
lib/Target with a single pass in lib/CodeGen called
BasicTargetTransformInfo. This class actually provides most of the TTI
functionality, basing it upon the TargetLowering abstraction and other
information in the target independent code generator.
The third step of the conversion adds support to all TargetMachines to
register custom analysis passes. This allows building those passes with
access to TargetLowering or other target-specific classes, and it also
allows each target to customize the set of analysis passes desired in
the pass manager. The baseline LLVMTargetMachine implements this
interface to add the BasicTTI pass to the pass manager, and all of the
tools that want to support target-aware TTI passes call this routine on
whatever target machine they end up with to add the appropriate passes.
The fourth step of the conversion created target-specific TTI analysis
passes for the X86 and ARM backends. These passes contain the custom
logic that was previously in their extensions of the
ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTransformInfo interfaces.
I separated them into their own file, as now all of the interface bits
are private and they just expose a function to create the pass itself.
Then I extended these target machines to set up a custom set of analysis
passes, first adding BasicTTI as a fallback, and then adding their
customized TTI implementations.
The fourth step required logic that was shared between the target
independent layer and the specific targets to move to a different
interface, as they no longer derive from each other. As a consequence,
a helper functions were added to TargetLowering representing the common
logic needed both in the target implementation and the codegen
implementation of the TTI pass. While technically this is the only
change that could have been committed separately, it would have been
a nightmare to extract.
The final step of the conversion was just to delete all the old
boilerplate. This got rid of the ScalarTargetTransformInfo and
VectorTargetTransformInfo classes, all of the support in all of the
targets for producing instances of them, and all of the support in the
tools for manually constructing a pass based around them.
Now that TTI is a relatively normal analysis group, two things become
straightforward. First, we can sink it into lib/Analysis which is a more
natural layer for it to live. Second, clients of this interface can
depend on it *always* being available which will simplify their code and
behavior. These (and other) simplifications will follow in subsequent
commits, this one is clearly big enough.
Finally, I'm very aware that much of the comments and documentation
needs to be updated. As soon as I had this working, and plausibly well
commented, I wanted to get it committed and in front of the build bots.
I'll be doing a few passes over documentation later if it sticks.
Commits to update DragonEgg and Clang will be made presently.
