This patch adds support for sign extension for sub 128-bit vectors, such as to v2i32. It concatenates with UNDEF subvectors up to 128-bits, performs the sign extension (i.e. as v4i32) and then extracts the target subvector.
Patch 1/2 of D10589 - the second patch covers the conversion of v2i8/v2i16 to v2f64.

This patch improves support for sign extension of the lower lanes of vectors of integers by making use of the SSE41 pmovsx* sign extension instructions where possible, and optimizing the sign extension by shifts on pre-SSE41 targets (avoiding the use of i64 arithmetic shifts which require scalarization).
It converts SIGN_EXTEND nodes to SIGN_EXTEND_VECTOR_INREG where necessary, that more closely matches the pmovsx* instruction than the default approach of using SIGN_EXTEND_INREG which splits the operation (into an ANY_EXTEND lowered to a shuffle followed by shifts) making instruction matching difficult during lowering. Necessary support for SIGN_EXTEND_VECTOR_INREG has been added to the DAGCombiner.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

The combine that forms extloads used to be disabled on vector types,
because "None of the supported targets knows how to perform load and
sign extend on vectors in one instruction."
That's not entirely true, since at least SSE4.1 X86 knows how to do
those sextloads/zextloads (with PMOVS/ZX).
But there are several aspects to getting this right.
First, vector extloads are controlled by a profitability callback.
For instance, on ARM, several instructions have folded extload forms,
so it's not always beneficial to create an extload node (and trying to
match extloads is a whole 'nother can of worms).
The interesting optimization enables folding of s/zextloads to illegal
(splittable) vector types, expanding them into smaller legal extloads.
It's not ideal (it introduces some legalization-like behavior in the
combine) but it's better than the obvious alternative: form illegal
extloads, and later try to split them up. If you do that, you might
generate extloads that can't be split up, but have a valid ext+load
expansion. At vector-op legalization time, it's too late to generate
this kind of code, so you end up forced to scalarize. It's better to
just avoid creating egregiously illegal nodes.
This optimization is enabled unconditionally on X86.
Note that the splitting combine is happy with "custom" extloads. As
is, this bypasses the actual custom lowering, and just unrolls the
extload. But from what I've seen, this is still much better than the
current custom lowering, which does some kind of unrolling at the end
anyway (see for instance load_sext_4i8_to_4i64 on SSE2, and the added
FIXME).
Also note that the existing combine that forms extloads is now also
enabled on legal vectors. This doesn't have a big effect on X86
(because sext+load is usually combined to sext_inreg+aextload).
On ARM it fires on some rare occasions; that's for a separate commit.

Update the entire regression test suite for the new shuffles. Remove
most of the old testing which was devoted to the old shuffle lowering
path and is no longer relevant really. Also remove a few other random
tests that only really exercised shuffles and only incidently or without
any interesting aspects to them.
Benchmarking that I have done shows a few small regressions with this on
LNT, zero measurable regressions on real, large applications, and for
several benchmarks where the loop vectorizer fires in the hot path it
shows 5% to 40% improvements for SSE2 and SSE3 code running on Sandy
Bridge machines. Running on AMD machines shows even more dramatic
improvements.
When using newer ISA vector extensions the gains are much more modest,
but the code is still better on the whole. There are a few regressions
being tracked (PR21137, PR21138, PR21139) but by and large this is
expected to be a win for x86 generated code performance.
It is also more correct than the code it replaces. I have fuzz tested
this extensively with ISA extensions up through AVX2 and found no
crashes or miscompiles (yet...). The old lowering had a few miscompiles
and crashers after a somewhat smaller amount of fuzz testing.
There is one significant area where the new code path lags behind and
that is in AVX-512 support. However, there was *extremely little*
support for that already and so this isn't a significant step backwards
and the new framework will probably make it easier to implement lowering
that uses the full power of AVX-512's table-based shuffle+blend (IMO).
Many thanks to Quentin, Andrea, Robert, and others for benchmarking
assistance. Thanks to Adam and others for help with AVX-512. Thanks to
Hal, Eric, and *many* others for answering my incessant questions about
how the backend actually works. =]
I will leave the old code path in the tree until the 3 PRs above are at
least resolved to folks' satisfaction. Then I will rip it (and 1000s of
lines of code) out. =] I don't expect this flag to stay around for very
long. It may not survive next week.

No significant change here, just tidying up to have a consistent set of
OS-agnostic vector functionality here.

test file.
This old test had a bunch of functions that were never even checked. =/
The only thing it really did was to make sure that we did something
reasonable in 32-bit mode with SSE4.1. Adding another run line to the
main vector-sext.ll test seems a better way to do that.

of architectures: SSE2, SSSE3, SSE4.1, AVX, and AVX2.
Unfortunately, this exposses the absolute horror of the code we generate
for many of these patterns. Anyone wanting to familiarize themselves
with the x86 backend and improve performance could do a lot of good
sitting down and making these test cases not look so terrible. While the
new vector shuffle code I'm working on well help some, it won't fix all
of the crimes here.

These tests are far and away the best sext and zext tests we have for
vectors. I'm going to merge the other similar tests into them and expand
the ISA coverage.
