This commit removes the artificial types <512 x i1> and <1024 x i1>
from HVX intrinsics, and makes v512i1 and v1024i1 no longer legal on
Hexagon.
It may cause existing bitcode files to become invalid.
* Converting between vector predicates and vector registers must be
done explicitly via vandvrt/vandqrt instructions (their intrinsics),
i.e. (for 64-byte mode):
%Q = call <64 x i1> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandvrt(<16 x i32> %V, i32 -1)
%V = call <16 x i32> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandqrt(<64 x i1> %Q, i32 -1)
The conversion intrinsics are:
declare <64 x i1> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandvrt(<16 x i32>, i32)
declare <128 x i1> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandvrt.128B(<32 x i32>, i32)
declare <16 x i32> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandqrt(<64 x i1>, i32)
declare <32 x i32> @llvm.hexagon.V6.vandqrt.128B(<128 x i1>, i32)
They are all pure.
* Vector predicate values cannot be loaded/stored directly. This directly
reflects the architecture restriction. Loading and storing or vector
predicates must be done indirectly via vector registers and explicit
conversions via vandvrt/vandqrt instructions.
This patch lets the llvm tools handle the new HVX target features that
are added by frontend (clang). The target-features are of the form
"hvx-length64b" for 64 Byte HVX mode, "hvx-length128b" for 128 Byte mode HVX.
"hvx-double" is an alias to "hvx-length128b" and is soon will be deprecated.
The hvx version target feature is upgated form "+hvx" to "+hvxv{version_number}.
Eg: "+hvxv62"
For the correct HVX code generation, the user must use the following
target features.
For 64B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length64b"
For 128B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length128b"
Clang picks a default length if none is specified. If for some reason,
no hvx-length is specified to llvm, the compilation will bail out.
There is a corresponding clang patch.
