This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to convert instructions that
take two register operands to those that take a register and immediate if
the necessary operand is produced by a load-immediate. Furthermore, it uses
this infrastructure to perform such conversions twice - first at MachineSSA
and then pre-emit.
There are a number of reasons we may end up with opportunities for this
transformation, including but not limited to:
- X-Form instructions chosen since the exact offset isn't available at ISEL time
- Atomic instructions with constant operands (we will add patterns for this
in the future)
- Tail duplication may duplicate code where one block contains this redundancy
- When emitting compare-free code in PPCDAGToDAGISel, we don't handle constant
comparands specially
Furthermore, this patch moves the initialization of PPCMIPeepholePass so that
it can be used for MIR tests.

The initial implementation of an MI SSA pass to reduce cr-logical operations.
Currently, the only operations handled by the pass are binary operations where
both CR-inputs come from the same block and the single use is a conditional
branch (also in the same block).
Committing this off by default to allow for a period of field testing. Will
enable it by default in a follow-up patch soon.

Summary: Conditional returns were not taken into consideration at all. Implement them by turning them into jumps and normal returns. This means there is a slightly higher performance penalty for conditional returns, but this is the best we can do, and it still disturbs little of the rest.

This patch fixes a verification error with -verify-machineinstrs while expanding __tls_get_addr by not creating ADJCALLSTACKUP and ADJCALLSTACKDOWN if there is another ADJCALLSTACKUP in this basic block since nesting ADJCALLSTACKUP/ADJCALLSTACKDOWN is not allowed.
Here, ADJCALLSTACKUP and ADJCALLSTACKDOWN are created as a fence for instruction scheduling to avoid _tls_get_addr is scheduled before mflr in the prologue (https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=25839). So if another ADJCALLSTACKUP exists before _tls_get_addr, we do not need to create a new ADJCALLSTACKUP.

Chapter 3 of the QPX manual states that, "Scalar floating-point load
instructions, defined in the Power ISA, cause a replication of the source data
across all elements of the target register." Thus, if we have a load followed
by a QPX splat (from the first lane), the splat is redundant. This adds a late
MI-level pass to remove the redundant splats in some of these cases
(specifically when both occur in the same basic block).
This optimization is scheduled just prior to post-RA scheduling. It can't happen
before anything that might replace the load with some already-computed quantity
(i.e. store-to-load forwarding).

This patch adds a pass for doing PowerPC peephole optimizations at the
MI level while the code is still in SSA form. This allows for easy
modifications to the instructions while depending on a subsequent pass
of DCE. Both passes are very fast due to the characteristics of SSA.
At this time, the only peepholes added are for cleaning up various
redundancies involving the XXPERMDI instruction. However, I would
expect this will be a useful place to add more peepholes for
inefficiencies generated during instruction selection. The pass is
placed after VSX swap optimization, as it is best to let that pass
remove unnecessary swaps before performing any remaining clean-ups.
The utility of these clean-ups are demonstrated by changes to four
existing test cases, all of which now have tighter expected code
generation. I've also added Eric Schweiz's bugpoint-reduced test from
PR25157, for which we now generate tight code. One other test started
failing for me, and I've fixed it
(test/Transforms/PlaceSafepoints/finite-loops.ll) as well; this is not
related to my changes, and I'm not sure why it works before and not
after. The problem is that the CHECK-NOT: of "statepoint" from test1
fails because of the "statepoint" in test2, and so forth. Adding a
CHECK-LABEL in between keeps the different occurrences of that string
properly scoped.

If some commits are happy, and some commits are sad, this is a sad commit. It
is sad because it restricts instruction scheduling to work around a binutils
linker bug, and moreover, one that may never be fixed. On 2012-05-21, GCC was
updated not to produce code triggering this bug, and now we'll do the same...
When resolving an address using the ELF ABI TOC pointer, two relocations are
generally required: one for the high part and one for the low part. Only
the high part generally explicitly depends on r2 (the TOC pointer). And, so,
we might produce code like this:
.Ltmp526:
addis 3, 2, .LC12@toc@ha
.Ltmp1628:
std 2, 40(1)
ld 5, 0(27)
ld 2, 8(27)
ld 11, 16(27)
ld 3, .LC12@toc@l(3)
rldicl 4, 4, 0, 32
mtctr 5
bctrl
ld 2, 40(1)
And there is nothing wrong with this code, as such, but there is a linker bug
in binutils (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18414) that will
misoptimize this code sequence to this:
nop
std r2,40(r1)
ld r5,0(r27)
ld r2,8(r27)
ld r11,16(r27)
ld r3,-32472(r2)
clrldi r4,r4,32
mtctr r5
bctrl
ld r2,40(r1)
because the linker does not know (and does not check) that the value in r2
changed in between the instruction using the .LC12@toc@ha (TOC-relative)
relocation and the instruction using the .LC12@toc@l(3) relocation.
Because it finds these instructions using the relocations (and not by
scanning the instructions), it has been asserted that there is no good way
to detect the change of r2 in between. As a result, this bug may never be
fixed (i.e. it may become part of the definition of the ABI). GCC was
updated to add extra dependencies on r2 to instructions using the @toc@l
relocations to avoid this problem, and we'll do the same here.
This is done as a separate pass because:
1. These extra r2 dependencies are not really properties of the
instructions, but rather due to a linker bug, and maybe one day we'll be
able to get rid of them when targeting linkers without this bug (and,
thus, keeping the logic centralized here will make that
straightforward).
2. There are ISel-level peephole optimizations that propagate the @toc@l
relocations to some user instructions, and so the exta dependencies do
not apply only to a fixed set of instructions (without undesirable
definition replication).
The test case was reduced with the help of bugpoint, with minimal cleaning. I'm
looking forward to our upcoming MI serialization support, and with that, much
better tests can be created.
llvm-svn: 237556
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.

The IBM BG/Q supercomputer's A2 cores have a hardware prefetching unit, the
L1P, but it does not prefetch directly into the A2's L1 cache. Instead, it
prefetches into its own L1P buffer, and the latency to access that buffer is
significantly higher than that to the L1 cache (although smaller than the
latency to the L2 cache). As a result, especially when multiple hardware
threads are not actively busy, explicitly prefetching data into the L1 cache is
advantageous.
I've been using this pass out-of-tree for data prefetching on the BG/Q for well
over a year, and it has worked quite well. It is enabled by default only for
the BG/Q, but can be enabled for other cores as well via a command-line option.
Eventually, we might want to add some TTI interfaces and move this into
Transforms/Scalar (there is nothing particularly target dependent about it,
although only machines like the BG/Q will benefit from its simplistic
strategy).

See full discussion in http://reviews.llvm.org/D7491.
We now hide the add-immediate and call instructions together in a
separate pseudo-op, which is tagged to define GPR3 and clobber the
call-killed registers. The PPCTLSDynamicCall pass prior to RA now
expands this op into the two separate addi and call ops, with explicit
definitions of GPR3 on both instructions, and explicit clobbers on the
call instruction. The pass is now marked as requiring and preserving
the LiveIntervals and SlotIndexes analyses, and fixes these up after
the replacement sequences are introduced.
Self-hosting has been verified on LE P8 and BE P7 with various
optimization levels, etc. It has also been verified with the

Unfortunately, even with the workaround of disabling the linker TLS
optimizations in Clang restored (which has already been done), this still
breaks self-hosting on my P7 machine (-O3 -DNDEBUG -mcpu=native).
Bill is currently working on an alternate implementation to address the TLS
issue in a way that also fully elides the linker bug (which, unfortunately,
this approach did not fully), so I'm reverting this now.
llvm-svn: 228460
PowerPC supports pre-increment load/store instructions (except for Altivec/VSX
vector load/stores). Using these on embedded cores can be very important, but
most loops are not naturally set up to use them. We can often change that,
however, by placing loops into a non-canonical form. Generically, this means
transforming loops like this:
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
array[i] = c;
to look like this:
T *p = array[-1];
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
*++p = c;
the key point is that addresses accessed are pulled into dedicated PHIs and
"pre-decremented" in the loop preheader. This allows the use of pre-increment
load/store instructions without loop peeling.
A target-specific late IR-level pass (running post-LSR), PPCLoopPreIncPrep, is
introduced to perform this transformation. I've used this code out-of-tree for
generating code for the PPC A2 for over a year. Somewhat to my surprise,
running the test suite + externals on a P7 with this transformation enabled
showed no performance regressions, and one speedup:
External/SPEC/CINT2006/483.xalancbmk/483.xalancbmk
-2.32514% +/- 1.03736%
So I'm going to enable it on everything for now. I was surprised by this
because, on the POWER cores, these pre-increment load/store instructions are
cracked (and, thus, harder to schedule effectively). But seeing no regressions,
and feeling that it is generally easier to split instructions apart late than
it is to combine them late, this might be the better approach regardless.
In the future, we might want to integrate this functionality into LSR (but
currently LSR does not create new PHI nodes, so (for that and other reasons)
significant work would need to be done).
llvm-svn: 228328
This patch is a third attempt to properly handle the local-dynamic and
global-dynamic TLS models.
In my original implementation, calls to __tls_get_addr were hidden
from view until the asm-printer phase, at which point the underlying
branch-and-link instruction was created with proper relocations. This
mostly worked well, but I used some repellent techniques to ensure
that the TLS_GET_ADDR nodes at the SD and MI levels correctly received
input from GPR3 and produced output into GPR3. This proved to work
badly in the presence of multiple TLS variable accesses, with the
copies to and from GPR3 being scheduled incorrectly and generally
creating havoc.
In r221703, I addressed that problem by representing the calls to
__tls_get_addr as true calls during instruction lowering. This had
the advantage of removing all of the bad hacks and relying on the
existing call machinery to properly glue the copies in place. It
looked like this was going to be the right way to go.
However, as a side effect of the recent discovery of problems with
linker optimizations for TLS, we discovered cases of suboptimal code
generation with this strategy. The problem comes when tls_get_addr is
called for the same address, and there is a resulting CSE
opportunity. It turns out that in such cases MachineCSE will common
the addis/addi instructions that set up the input value to
tls_get_addr, but will not common the calls themselves. MachineCSE
does not have any machinery to common idempotent calls. This is
perfectly sensible, since presumably this would be done at the IR
level, and introducing calls in the back end isn't commonplace. In
any case, we end up with two calls to __tls_get_addr when one would
suffice, and that isn't good.
I presumed that the original design would have allowed commoning of
the machine-specific nodes that hid the __tls_get_addr calls, so as
suggested by Ulrich Weigand, I went back to that design and cleaned it
up so that the copies were properly held together by glue
nodes. However, it turned out that this didn't work either...the
presence of copies to physical registers kept the machine-specific
nodes from being commoned also.
All of which leads to the design presented here. This is a return to
the original design, except that no attempt is made to introduce
copies to and from GPR3 during instruction lowering. Virtual registers
are used until prior to register allocation. At that point, a special
pass is run that identifies the machine-specific nodes that hide the
tls_get_addr calls and introduces the copies to and from GPR3 around
them. The register allocator then coalesces these copies away. With
this design, MachineCSE succeeds in commoning tls_get_addr calls where
possible, and we get nice optimal code generation (better than GCC at
the moment, which does not common these calls).
One additional problem must be dealt with: After introducing the
mentions of the physical register GPR3, the aggressive anti-dependence
breaker sees opportunities to improve scheduling by selecting a
different register instead. Flags must be used on the instruction
descriptions to tell the anti-dependence breaker to keep its hands in
its pockets.
One thing missing from the original design was recording a definition
of the link register on the GET_TLS_ADDR nodes. Doing this was found
to be insufficient to force a stack frame to be created, which led to
looping behavior because two different LR values were stored at the
same address. This appears to have been an oversight in
PPCFrameLowering::determineFrameLayout(), which is repaired here.
Because MustSaveLR() returns true for calls to builtin_return_address,
this changed the expected behavior of
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/retaddr2.ll, which now stacks a frame but
formerly did not. I've fixed the test case to reflect this.
There are existing TLS tests to catch regressions; the checks in
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/tls-store2.ll proved to be too restrictive in the
face of instruction scheduling with these changes, so I fixed that
up.
I've added a new test case based on the PrettyStackTrace module that
demonstrated the original problem. This checks that we get correct
code generation and that CSE of the calls to __get_tls_addr has taken
place.

This MI-level pass was necessary when VSX support was first being developed,
specifically, before the ABI code had been updated to use VSX registers for
arguments (the register assignments did not change, in a physical sense, but
the VSX super-registers are now used). Unfortunately, I never went back and
removed this pass after that was done. I believe this code is now effectively
dead.
llvm-svn: 227767
My original support for the general dynamic and local dynamic TLS
models contained some fairly obtuse hacks to generate calls to
__tls_get_addr when lowering a TargetGlobalAddress. Rather than
generating real calls, special GET_TLS_ADDR nodes were used to wrap
the calls and only reveal them at assembly time. I attempted to
provide correct parameter and return values by chaining CopyToReg and
CopyFromReg nodes onto the GET_TLS_ADDR nodes, but this was also not
fully correct. Problems were seen with two back-to-back stores to TLS
variables, where the call sequences ended up overlapping with unhappy
results. Additionally, since these weren't real calls, the proper
register side effects of a call were not recorded, so clobbered values
were kept live across the calls.
The proper thing to do is to lower these into calls in the first
place. This is relatively straightforward; see the changes to
PPCTargetLowering::LowerGlobalTLSAddress() in PPCISelLowering.cpp.
The changes here are standard call lowering, except that we need to
track the fact that these calls will require a relocation. This is
done by adding a machine operand flag of MO_TLSLD or MO_TLSGD to the
TargetGlobalAddress operand that appears earlier in the sequence.
The calls to LowerCallTo() eventually find their way to
LowerCall_64SVR4() or LowerCall_32SVR4(), which call FinishCall(),
which calls PrepareCall(). In PrepareCall(), we detect the calls to
__tls_get_addr and immediately snag the TargetGlobalTLSAddress with
the annotated relocation information. This becomes an extra operand
on the call following the callee, which is expected for nodes of type
tlscall. We change the call opcode to CALL_TLS for this case. Back
in FinishCall(), we change it again to CALL_NOP_TLS for 64-bit only,
since we require a TOC-restore nop following the call for the 64-bit
ABIs.
During selection, patterns in PPCInstrInfo.td and PPCInstr64Bit.td
convert the CALL_TLS nodes into BL_TLS nodes, and convert the
CALL_NOP_TLS nodes into BL8_NOP_TLS nodes. This replaces the code
removed from PPCAsmPrinter.cpp, as the BL_TLS or BL8_NOP_TLS
nodes can now be emitted normally using their patterns and the
associated printTLSCall print method.
Finally, as a result of these changes, all references to get-tls-addr
in its various guises are no longer used, so they have been removed.
There are existing TLS tests to verify the changes haven't messed
anything up). I've added one new test that verifies that the problem
with the original code has been fixed.

As explained in r204976, because of how the allocation of VSX registers
interacts with the call-lowering code, we sometimes end up generating self VSX
copies. Specifically, things like this:
%VSL2<def> = COPY %F2, %VSL2<imp-use,kill>
(where %F2 is really a sub-register of %VSL2, and so this copy is a nop)
This adds a small cleanup pass to remove these prior to post-RA scheduling.
llvm-svn: 204980
The VSX instruction set has two types of FMA instructions: A-type (where the
addend is taken from the output register) and M-type (where one of the product
operands is taken from the output register). This adds a small pass that runs
just after MI scheduling (and, thus, just before register allocation) that
mutates A-type instructions (that are created during isel) into M-type
instructions when:
1. This will eliminate an otherwise-necessary copy of the addend
2. One of the product operands is killed by the instruction
The "right" moment to make this decision is in between scheduling and register
allocation, because only there do we know whether or not one of the product
operands is killed by any particular instruction. Unfortunately, this also
makes the implementation somewhat complicated, because the MIs are not in SSA
form and we need to preserve the LiveIntervals analysis.
As a simple example, if we have:
%vreg5<def> = COPY %vreg9; VSLRC:%vreg5,%vreg9
%vreg5<def,tied1> = XSMADDADP %vreg5<tied0>, %vreg17, %vreg16,
%RM<imp-use>; VSLRC:%vreg5,%vreg17,%vreg16
...
%vreg9<def,tied1> = XSMADDADP %vreg9<tied0>, %vreg17, %vreg19,
%RM<imp-use>; VSLRC:%vreg9,%vreg17,%vreg19
...
We can eliminate the copy by changing from the A-type to the
M-type instruction. This means:
%vreg5<def,tied1> = XSMADDADP %vreg5<tied0>, %vreg17, %vreg16,
%RM<imp-use>; VSLRC:%vreg5,%vreg17,%vreg16
is replaced by:
%vreg16<def,tied1> = XSMADDMDP %vreg16<tied0>, %vreg18, %vreg9,
%RM<imp-use>; VSLRC:%vreg16,%vreg18,%vreg9
and we remove: %vreg5<def> = COPY %vreg9; VSLRC:%vreg5,%vreg9

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:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/distray/distray
MultiSource/Benchmarks/McCat/08-main/main
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Olden/voronoi/voronoi
MultiSource/Benchmarks/mafft/pairlocalalign
MultiSource/Benchmarks/tramp3d-v4/tramp3d-v4
SingleSource/Benchmarks/CoyoteBench/almabench
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/matmul_f64_4x4
- 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.

A setting in MCAsmInfo defines the "assembler dialect" to use. This is used
by common code to choose between alternatives in a multi-alternative GNU
inline asm statement like the following:
__asm__ ("{sfe|subfe} %0,%1,%2" : "=r" (out) : "r" (in1), "r" (in2));
The meaning of these dialects is platform specific, and GCC defines those
for PowerPC to use dialect 0 for old-style (POWER) mnemonics and 1 for
new-style (PowerPC) mnemonics, like in the example above.
To be compatible with inline asm used with GCC, LLVM ought to do the same.
Specifically, this means we should always use assembler dialect 1 since
old-style mnemonics really aren't supported on any current platform.
However, the current LLVM back-end uses:
AssemblerDialect = 1; // New-Style mnemonics.
in PPCMCAsmInfoDarwin, and
AssemblerDialect = 0; // Old-Style mnemonics.
in PPCLinuxMCAsmInfo.
The Linux setting really isn't correct, we should be using new-style
mnemonics everywhere. This is changed by this commit.
Unfortunately, the setting of this variable is overloaded in the back-end
to decide whether or not we are on a Darwin target. This is done in
PPCInstPrinter (the "SyntaxVariant" is initialized from the MCAsmInfo
AssemblerDialect setting), and also in PPCMCExpr. Setting AssemblerDialect
to 1 for both Darwin and Linux no longer allows us to make this distinction.
Instead, this patch uses the MCSubtargetInfo passed to createPPCMCInstPrinter
to distinguish Darwin targets, and ignores the SyntaxVariant parameter.
As to PPCMCExpr, this patch adds an explicit isDarwin argument that needs
to be passed in by the caller when creating a target MCExpr. (To do so
this patch implicitly also reverts commit 184441.)

The ADD8TLS currently hard-codes the @tls into the assembler string.
This cannot be handled by the asm parser, since @tls is parsed as
a symbol variant. This patch changes ADD8TLS to have the @tls suffix
printed as symbol variant on output too, which allows us to remove
the isCodeGenOnly marker from ADD8TLS. This in turn means that we
can add a AsmOperand to accept @tls marked symbols on input.
As a side effect, this means that the fixup_ppc_tlsreg fixup type
is no longer necessary and can be merged into fixup_ppc_nofixup.

This renames more VK_PPC_ enums, to make them more closely reflect
the @modifier string they represent. This also prepares for adding
a bunch of new VK_PPC_ enums in upcoming patches.
For consistency, some MO_ flags related to VK_PPC_ enums are
likewise renamed.
No change in behaviour.

When asserts are enabled, this adds a verification pass for PPC counter-loop
formation. Unfortunately, without sacrificing code quality, there is no better
way of forming counter-based loops except at the (late) IR level. This means
that we need to recognize, at the IR level, anything which might turn into a
function call (or indirect branch). Because this is currently a finite set of
things, and because SelectionDAG lowering is basic-block local, this can be
done. Nevertheless, it is fragile, and failure results in a miscompile. This
verification pass checks that all (reachable) counter-based branches are
dominated by a loop mtctr instruction, and that no instructions in between
clobber the counter register. If these conditions are not satisfied, then an
ICE will be triggered.
In short, this is to help us sleep better at night.

The old PPCCTRLoops pass, like the Hexagon pass version from which it was
derived, could only handle some simple loops in canonical form. We cannot
directly adapt the new Hexagon hardware loops pass, however, because the
Hexagon pass contains a fundamental assumption that non-constant-trip-count
loops will contain a guard, and this is not always true (the result being that
incorrect negative counts can be generated). With this commit, we replace the
pass with a late IR-level pass which makes use of SE to calculate the
backedge-taken counts and safely generate the loop-count expressions (including
any necessary max() parts). This IR level pass inserts custom intrinsics that
are lowered into the desired decrement-and-branch instructions.
The most fragile part of this new implementation is that interfering uses of
the counter register must be detected on the IR level (and, on PPC, this also
includes any indirect branches in addition to function calls). Also, to make
all of this work, we need a variant of the mtctr instruction that is marked
as having side effects. Without this, machine-code level CSE, DCE, etc.
illegally transform the resulting code. Hopefully, this can be improved
in the future.
This new pass is smaller than the original (and much smaller than the new
Hexagon hardware loops pass), and can handle many additional cases correctly.
In addition, the preheader-creation code has been copied from LoopSimplify, and
after we decide on where it belongs, this code will be refactored so that it
can be explicitly shared (making this implementation even smaller).
The new test-case files ctrloop-{le,lt,ne}.ll have been adapted from tests for
the new Hexagon pass. There are a few classes of loops that this pass does not
transform (noted by FIXMEs in the files), but these deficiencies can be
addressed within the SE infrastructure (thus helping many other passes as well).

PowerPC has a conditional branch to the link register (return) instruction: BCLR.
This should be used any time when we'd otherwise have a conditional branch to a
return. This adds a small pass, PPCEarlyReturn, which runs just prior to the
branch selection pass (and, importantly, after block placement) to generate
these conditional returns when possible. It will also eliminate unconditional
branches to returns (these happen rarely; most of the time these have already
been tail duplicated by the time PPCEarlyReturn is invoked). This is a nice
optimization for small functions that do not maintain a stack frame.

As pointed out by Jakob, we don't need to maintain a separate
register-numbering table. Instead we should let TableGen generate the table for
us from the information (already present) in PPCRegisterInfo.td.
TRI->getEncodingValue is now used to access register-encoding values.
No functionality change intended.
