Ffter commit at rev219046 512-bit broadcasts lowering become non-optimal. Most of tests on broadcasting and embedded broadcasting were changed and they doesn’t produce efficient code.
Example below is from commit changes (it’s the first test from test/CodeGen/X86/avx512-vbroadcast.ll):
define <16 x i32> @_inreg16xi32(i32 %a) {
; CHECK-LABEL: _inreg16xi32:
; CHECK: ## BB#0:
-; CHECK-NEXT: vpbroadcastd %edi, %zmm0
+; CHECK-NEXT: vmovd %edi, %xmm0
+; CHECK-NEXT: vpbroadcastd %xmm0, %ymm0
+; CHECK-NEXT: vinserti64x4 $1, %ymm0, %zmm0, %zmm0
; CHECK-NEXT: retq
%b = insertelement <16 x i32> undef, i32 %a, i32 0
%c = shufflevector <16 x i32> %b, <16 x i32> undef, <16 x i32> zeroinitializer
ret <16 x i32> %c
}
Here, 256-bit broadcast was generated instead of 512-bit one.
In this patch
1) I added vector-shuffle lowering through broadcasts
2) Removed asserts and branches likes because this is incorrect
- assert(Subtarget->hasDQI() && "We can only lower v8i64 with AVX-512-DQI");
3) Fixed lowering tests

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.

tighter, more strict FileCheck assertions. Some of these I really like
as they show case exactly what instruction sequences come out of these
microscopic functionality tests.

need to be updated for the new vector shuffle lowering.
After talking to Adam Nemet, Tim Northover, etc., it seems that testing
MC encodings in the same suite as the basic codegen isn't the right
approach. Instead, we're going to want dedicated MC tests for the
encodings. These encodings are starting to get in my way so I wanted to
cut them out early. The total set of instructions that should have
encoding tests added is:
vpaddd
vsqrtss
vsqrtsd
vmovlhps
vmovhlps
valignq
vbroadcastss
Not too many parts of these tests were even using this. =]

I moved a test from avx512-vbroadcast-crash.ll to avx512-vbroadcast.ll
I defined HasAVX512 predicate as AssemblerPredicate. It means that you should invoke llvm-mc with "-mcpu=knl" to get encoding for AVX-512 instructions. I need this to let AsmMatcher to set different encoding for AVX and AVX-512 instructions that have the same mnemonic and operands (all scalar instructions).
