Kit Barton d4eb73c00e This patch adds ABI support for v1i128 data type.
It adds v1i128 to the appropriate register classes and checks parameter passing
and return values.

This is related to http://reviews.llvm.org/D9081, which will add instructions
that exploit the v1i128 datatype.

Bill Schmidt fe723b9a6d [PPC64LE] Remove unnecessary swaps from lane-insensitive vector computations
This patch adds a new SSA MI pass that runs on little-endian PPC64
code with VSX enabled. Loads and stores of 4x32 and 2x64 vectors
without alignment constraints are accomplished for little-endian using
lxvd2x/xxswapd and xxswapd/stxvd2x. The existence of the additional
xxswapd instructions hurts performance in comparison with big-endian
code, but they are necessary in the general case to support correct
semantics.

However, the general case does not apply to most vector code. Many
vector instructions are lane-insensitive; they do not "care" which
lanes the parallel computations are performed within, provided that
the resulting data is stored into the correct locations. Thus this
pass looks for computations that perform only lane-insensitive
operations, and remove the unnecessary swaps from loads and stores in
such computations.

Future improvements will allow computations using certain
lane-sensitive operations to also be optimized in this manner, by
modifying the lane-sensitive operations to account for the permuted
order of the lanes. However, this patch only adds the infrastructure
to permit this; no lane-sensitive operations are optimized at this
time.

This code is heavily exercised by the various vectorizing applications
in the projects/test-suite tree. For the time being, I have only added
one simple test case to demonstrate what the pass is doing. Although
it is quite simple, it provides coverage for much of the code,
including the special case handling of copies and subreg-to-reg
operations feeding the swaps. I plan to add additional tests in the
future as I fill in more of the "special handling" code.

Two existing tests were affected, because they expected the swaps to
be present, but they are now removed.

Hal Finkel 6a778fb7c2 [PowerPC] Remove canFoldAsLoad from instruction definitions
The PowerPC backend had a number of loads that were marked as canFoldAsLoad
(and I'm partially at fault here for copying around the relevant line of
TableGen definitions without really looking at what it meant). This is not
right; PPC (non-memory) instructions don't support direct memory operands, and
so there is nothing a 'foldable' instruction could be folded into.

Noticed by inspection, no test case.

The one thing we might lose by doing this is ability to fold some loads into
stackmap/patchpoint pseudo-instructions. However, this was untested, and would
not obviously have worked for extending loads, and I'd rather re-add support
for that once it can be tested.

Hal Finkel e3d2b20c2b [PowerPC] VSX stores don't also read
The VSX store instructions were also picking up an implicit "may read" from the
default pattern, which was an intrinsic (and we don't currently have a way of
specifying write-only intrinsics).

This was causing MI verification to fail for VSX spill restores.

Bill Schmidt 10f6eb91a0 [PowerPC 2/4] Little-endian adjustments for VSX insert/extract operations
For little endian, we need to make some straightforward adjustments in
the code expansions for scalar_to_vector and vector_extract of v2f64.
First, scalar_to_vector must place the scalar into vector element
zero.  However, our implementation of SUBREG_TO_REG will place it into
big-element vector element zero (high-order bits), and for little
endian we need it in the low-order bits.  The LE implementation splats
the high-order doubleword into the low-order doubleword.

Second, the meaning of (vector_extract x, 0) and (vector_extract x, 1)
must be reversed for similar reasons.

A new test is added that tests code generation for insertelement and
extractelement for both element 0 and element 1.  It is disabled in
this patch but enabled in patch 4/4, for reasons stated in the test.

Bill Schmidt fae5d71584 [PowerPC 1/4] Little-endian adjustments for VSX loads/stores
This patch addresses the inherent big-endian bias in the lxvd2x,
lxvw4x, stxvd2x, and stxvw4x instructions.  These instructions load
vector elements into registers left-to-right (with the first element
loaded into the high-order bits of the register), regardless of the
endian setting of the processor.  However, these are the only
vector memory instructions that permit unaligned storage accesses, so
we want to use them for little-endian.

To make this work, a lxvd2x or lxvw4x is replaced with an lxvd2x
followed by an xxswapd, which swaps the doublewords.  This works for
lxvw4x as well as lxvd2x, because for lxvw4x on an LE system the
vector elements are in LE order (right-to-left) within each
doubleword.  (Thus after lxvw2x of a <4 x float> the elements will
appear as 1, 0, 3, 2.  Following the swap, they will appear as 3, 2,
0, 1, as desired.)   For stores, an stxvd2x or stxvw4x is replaced
with an stxvd2x preceded by an xxswapd.

Introduction of extra swap instructions provides correctness, but
obviously is not ideal from a performance perspective.  Future patches
will address this with optimizations to remove most of the introduced
swaps, which have proven effective in other implementations.

The introduction of the swaps is performed during lowering of LOAD,
STORE, INTRINSIC_W_CHAIN, and INTRINSIC_VOID operations.  The latter
are used to translate intrinsics that specify the VSX loads and stores
directly into equivalent sequences for little endian.  Thus code that
uses vec_vsx_ld and vec_vsx_st does not have to be modified to be
ported from BE to LE.

We introduce new PPCISD opcodes for LXVD2X, STXVD2X, and XXSWAPD for
use during this lowering step.  In PPCInstrVSX.td, we add new SDType
and SDNode definitions for these (PPClxvd2x, PPCstxvd2x, PPCxxswapd).
These are recognized during instruction selection and mapped to the
correct instructions.

Several tests that were written to use -mcpu=pwr7 or pwr8 are modified
to disable VSX on LE variants because code generation changes with
this and subsequent patches in this set.  I chose to include all of
these in the first patch than try to rigorously sort out which tests
were broken by one or another of the patches.  Sorry about that.

The new test vsx-ldst-builtin-le.ll, and the changes to vsx-ldst.ll,
are disabled until LE support is enabled because of breakages that
occur as noted in those tests.  They are re-enabled in patch 4/4.

Bill Schmidt 729547847f [PowerPC] Add vec_vsx_ld and vec_vsx_st intrinsics
This patch enables the vec_vsx_ld and vec_vsx_st intrinsics for
PowerPC, which provide programmer access to the lxvd2x, lxvw4x,
stxvd2x, and stxvw4x instructions.

New LLVM intrinsics are provided to represent these four instructions
in IntrinsicsPowerPC.td.  These are patterned after the similar
intrinsics for lvx and stvx (Altivec).  In PPCInstrVSX.td, these
intrinsics are tied to the code gen patterns, with additional patterns
to allow plain vanilla loads and stores to still generate these
instructions.

At -O1 and higher the intrinsics are immediately converted to loads
and stores in InstCombineCalls.cpp.  This will open up more
optimization opportunities while still allowing the correct
instructions to be generated.  (Similar code exists for aligned
Altivec loads and stores.)

The new intrinsics are added to the code that checks for consecutive
loads and stores in PPCISelLowering.cpp, as well as to
PPCTargetLowering::getTgtMemIntrinsic().

There's a new test to verify the correct instructions are generated.
The loads and stores tend to be reordered, so the test just counts
their number.  It runs at -O2, as it's not very effective to test this
at -O0, when many unnecessary loads and stores are generated.

I ended up having to modify vsx-fma-m.ll.  It turns out this test case
is slightly unreliable, but I don't know a good way to prevent
problems with it.  The xvmaddmdp instructions read and write the same
register, which is one of the multiplicands.  Commutativity allows
either to be chosen.  If the FMAs are reordered differently than
expected by the test, the register assignment can be different as a
result.  Hopefully this doesn't change often.

There is a companion patch for Clang.

Bill Schmidt 1ca69fa64d [PowerPC] Initial VSX intrinsic support, with min/max for vector double
Now that we have initial support for VSX, we can begin adding
intrinsics for programmer access to VSX instructions.  This patch adds

implementing intrinsics for minimum and maximum for the vector double
data type.

The LLVM portion of this is quite straightforward.  There is a

Bill Schmidt 9c54bbd791 [PATCH] Support select-cc for VSFRC when VSX is enabled
A previous patch enabled SELECT_VSRC and SELECT_CC_VSRC for VSX to
handle <2 x double> cases.  This patch adds SELECT_VSFRC and
SELECT_CC_VSFRC to allow use of all 64 vector-scalar registers for the
f64 type when VSX is enabled.  The changes are analogous to those in
the previous patch.  I've added a new variant to vsx.ll to test the
code generation.

(I also cleaned up a little formatting in PPCInstrVSX.td from the
previous patch.)

Bill Schmidt 61e652334f [PowerPC] Support select-cc for VSX
The tests test/CodeGen/Generic/select-cc.ll and
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/select-cc.ll both fail with VSX enabled.  The
problem is that the lowering logic for the SELECT and SELECT_CC
operations doesn't currently support the VSX registers.  This patch
fixes that.

In lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCInstrInfo.td, we have pseudos to handle this
for other register classes.  Similar pseudos are added in
PPCInstrVSX.td (they must be there, because the "vsrc" register class
definition appears there) for the VSRC register class.  The
SELECT_VSRC pseudo is then used in pattern matching for SELECT_CC.

The rest of the patch just adds logic for SELECT_VSRC wherever similar
logic appears for SELECT_VRRC.

There are no new test cases because the existing tests above test
this, along with a variant in test/CodeGen/PowerPC/vsx.ll.

After discussion with Hal, a future patch will add similar _VSFRC
variants to override f64 type handling (currently using F8RC).

Bill Schmidt 2d1128acb2 [PowerPC] Enable use of lxvw4x/stxvw4x in VSX code generation
Currently the VSX support enables use of lxvd2x and stxvd2x for 2x64
types, but does not yet use lxvw4x and stxvw4x for 4x32 types.  This
patch adds that support.

As with lxvd2x/stxvd2x, this involves straightforward overriding of
the patterns normally recognized for lvx/stvx, with preference given
to the VSX patterns when VSX is enabled.

In addition, the logic for permitting misaligned memory accesses is
modified so that v4r32 and v4i32 are treated the same as v2f64 and
v2i64 when VSX is enabled.  Finally, the DAG generation for unaligned
loads is changed to just use a normal LOAD (which will become lxvw4x)
on P8 and later hardware, where unaligned loads are preferred over
lvsl/lvx/lvx/vperm.

A number of tests now generate the VSX loads/stores instead of
lvx/stvx, so this patch adds VSX variants to those tests.  I've also
added <4 x float> tests to the vsx.ll test case, and created a
vsx-p8.ll test case to be used for testing code generation for the
P8Vector feature.  For now, that simply tests the unaligned load/store
behavior.

This has been tested along with a temporary patch to enable the VSX
and P8Vector features, with no new regressions encountered with or
without the temporary patch applied.

Bill Schmidt cb34fd09cd [PPC64] VSX indexed-form loads use wrong instruction format
The VSX instruction definitions for lxsdx, lxvd2x, lxvdsx, and lxvw4x
incorrectly use the XForm_1 instruction format, rather than the
XX1Form instruction format.  This is likely a pasto when creating
these instructions, which were based on lvx and so forth.  This patch
uses the correct format.

The existing reformatting test (test/MC/PowerPC/vsx.s) missed this
because the two formats differ only in that XX1Form has an extension
to the target register field in bit 31.  The tests for these
instructions used a target register of 7, so the default of 0 in bit
31 for XForm_1 didn't expose a problem.  For register numbers 32-63
this would be noticeable.  I've changed the test to use higher
register numbers to verify my change is effective.

Hal Finkel 5c0d1454d6 [PowerPC] Handle VSX v2i64 SIGN_EXTEND_INREG
sitofp from v2i32 to v2f64 ends up generating a SIGN_EXTEND_INREG v2i64 node
(and similarly for v2i16 and v2i8). Even though there are no sign-extension (or
algebraic shifts) for v2i64 types, we can handle v2i32 sign extensions by
converting two and from v2i64. The small trick necessary here is to shift the
i32 elements into the right lanes before the i32 -> f64 step. This is because
of the big Endian nature of the system, we need the i32 portion in the high
word of the i64 elements.

For v2i16 and v2i8 we can do the same, but we first use the default Altivec
shift-based expansion from v2i16 or v2i8 to v2i32 (by casting to v4i32) and
then apply the above procedure.

Hal Finkel 19be506a5e [PowerPC] Add subregister classes for f64 VSX values
We had stored both f64 values and v2f64, etc. values in the VSX registers. This
worked, but was suboptimal because we would always spill 16-byte values even
through we almost always had scalar 8-byte values. This resulted in an
increase in stack-size use, extra memory bandwidth, etc. To fix this, I've
added 64-bit subregisters of the Altivec registers, and combined those with the
existing scalar floating-point registers to form a class of VSX scalar
floating-point registers. The ABI code has also been enhanced to use this
register class and some other necessary improvements have been made.

First, v2f64 vector extract had not been declared legal (and so the existing

scalar_to_vector, should really be a regclass copy, not a subregister
operation, because the VSX registers directly hold both the vector and scalar data.

Hal Finkel 27774d9274 [PowerPC] Initial support for the VSX instruction set
VSX is an ISA extension supported on the POWER7 and later cores that enhances
floating-point vector and scalar capabilities. Among other things, this adds
<2 x double> support and generally helps to reduce register pressure.

The interesting part of this ISA feature is the register configuration: there
are 64 new 128-bit vector registers, the 32 of which are super-registers of the
existing 32 scalar floating-point registers, and the second 32 of which overlap
with the 32 Altivec vector registers. This makes things like vector insertion
and extraction tricky: this can be free but only if we force a restriction to
the right register subclass when needed. A new "minipass" PPCVSXCopy takes care
of this (although it could do a more-optimal job of it; see the comment about
unnecessary copies below).

Please note that, currently, VSX is not enabled by default when targeting
anything because it is not yet ready for that.  The assembler and disassembler
are fully implemented and tested. However:

 - CodeGen support causes miscompiles; test-suite runtime failures:

 - The lowering currently falls back to using Altivec instructions far more
   than it should. Worse, there are some things that are scalarized through the
   stack that shouldn't be.

 - A lot of unnecessary copies make it past the optimizers, and this needs to
   be fixed.

 - Many more regression tests are needed.

Normally, I'd fix these things prior to committing, but there are some
students and other contributors who would like to work this, and so it makes
sense to move this development process upstream where it can be subject to the
regular code-review procedures.
