Benjamin Kramer e723bb10b0 X86: When lowering shl_parts, don't emit shift amounts larger than the bit width.
While it's safe for the X86-specific shift nodes, dag combining will
kill generic nodes. Insert an AND to make it safe, isel will nuke it
as x86's shift instructions have an implicit AND.

Fixes PR16108, which contains a contraption to hit this case in between
constant folders.

Andrew Trick 8bb0a251fd Evict local live ranges if they can be reassigned.
The previous change to local live range allocation also suppressed
eviction of local ranges. In rare cases, this could result in more
expensive register choices. This commit actually revives a feature
that I added long ago: check if live ranges can be reassigned before
eviction. But now it only happens in rare cases of evicting a local
live range because another local live range wants a cheaper register.

The benefit is improved code size for some benchmarks on x86 and armv7.

I measured no significant compile time increase and performance
changes are noise.

Andrew Trick 8485257d6d Allocate local registers in order for optimal coloring.
Also avoid locals evicting locals just because they want a cheaper register.

Problem: MI Sched knows exactly how many registers we have and assumes
they can be colored. In cases where we have large blocks, usually from
unrolled loops, greedy coloring fails. This is a source of
"regressions" from the MI Scheduler on x86. I noticed this issue on
x86 where we have long chains of two-address defs in the same live
range. It's easy to see this in matrix multiplication benchmarks like
IRSmk and even the unit test misched-matmul.ll.

A fundamental difference between the LLVM register allocator and
conventional graph coloring is that in our model a live range can't
discover its neighbors, it can only verify its neighbors. That's why
we initially went for greedy coloring and added eviction to deal with
the hard cases. However, for singly defined and two-address live
ranges, we can optimally color without visiting neighbors simply by
processing the live ranges in instruction order.

Other beneficial side effects:

It is much easier to understand and debug regalloc for large blocks
when the live ranges are allocated in order. Yes, global allocation is
still very confusing, but it's nice to be able to comprehend what
happened locally.

Heuristics could be added to bias register assignment based on
instruction locality (think late register pairing, banks...).

Intuituvely this will make some test cases that are on the threshold
of register pressure more stable.

Stephen Lin f799e3f944 Convert CodeGen/*/*.ll tests to use the new CHECK-LABEL for easier debugging. No functionality change and all tests pass after conversion.
This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
    sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.

Benjamin Kramer 05cc93964a When the legalizer is splitting vector shifts, the result may not have the right shift amount type.
Fix that by adding a cast to the shift expander. This came up with vector shifts
on sse-less X86 CPUs.

   <2 x i64>       = shl <2 x i64> <2 x i64>
-> i64,i64         = shl i64 i64; shl i64 i64
-> i32,i32,i32,i32 = shl_parts i32 i32 i64; shl_parts i32 i32 i64

Now we cast the last two i64s to the right type. Fixes the crash in PR14668.

Preston Gurd 48ccc4df0b This patch adds X86 instruction itineraries for non-pseudo opcodes in
X86InstrCompiler.td.
 
It also adds –mcpu-generic to the legalize-shift-64.ll test so the test
will pass if run on an Intel Atom CPU, which would otherwise
produce an instruction schedule which differs from that which the test expects.

Benjamin Kramer d05a0c6c42 LegalizeIntegerTypes: Reorder operations in the "big shift by small amount" optimization, making the lives of later passes easier.

Benjamin Kramer 0c281a7deb LegalizeIntegerTypes: Reenable the large shift with small amount optimization.
To avoid problems with zero shifts when getting the bits that move between words
we use a trick: first shift the by amount-1, then do another shift by one. When
amount is 0 (and size 32) we first shift by 31, then by one, instead of by 32.

Also fix a latent bug that emitted the low and high words in the wrong order
when shifting right.

Fixes PR12113.
