In r241285, I removed the SUBREG_TO_REG restriction from VSX swap
removal, determining that this was overly conservative. We have
another form of the same restriction in that we check for the presence
of implicit subregs in vector operations. As with SUBREG_TO_REG for
partial register conversions, an implicit subreg is safe in and of
itself, provided no other operation makes a lane-sensitive assumption
about the result. This patch removes that restriction, by removing
the HasImplicitSubreg flag and all code that relies on it.
I've added a test case that fails to optimize before this patch is
applied, and optimizes properly with the patch. Test based on a
report from Anton Blanchard.

With a previous patch, the VSX swap optimization is able to recognize
the doubleword load-splat idiom that can be implemented using lxvdsx.
However, that does not cover a doubleword splat where the source is a
register. We can implement this using xxspltd (a special form of
xxpermdi). This patch teaches the swap optimization pass about this
idiom.
As a prerequisite, it also permits swap optimization to succeed for
all forms of SUBREG_TO_REG. Previously we were conservative and only
allowed SUBREG_TO_REG when it copied a full register. However, on
reflection any form of SUBREG_TO_REG is safe in and of itself, so long
as an unsafe operation is not performed on its result. In particular,
a widening SUBREG_TO_REG often occurs as an input to a doubleword
splat idiom, particularly in auto-vectorized code.
The doubleword splat idiom is an XXPERMDI operation where both source
registers are identical, and the selection mask is either 0 (splat the
first element) or 3 (splat the second element). To determine whether
the registers are identical, we use the existing mechanism for looking
through "copy-like" operations. That mechanism has a side effect of
marking the XXPERMDI operation as using a physical register, which
would invalidate its presence in a swap-optimized region. This is
correct for the form of XXPERMDI that performs a swap and hence would
be removed, but is not what we want for a doubleword-splat variety of
XXPERMDI. Therefore we reset the physical-register flag on the
XXPERMDI when it represents a splat.
A simple test case is added to verify that we generate the splat and
that we also remove the xxswapd instructions that would otherwise be
associated with the load and store of another operand.

When adding little-endian vector support for PowerPC last year, I
inadvertently disabled an optimization that recognizes a load-splat
idiom and generates the lxvdsx instruction. This patch moves the
offending logic so lxvdsx is once again generated.
This pattern is frequently generated by the vectorizer for scalar
loads of an effective constant. Previously the lxvdsx instruction was
wrongly listed as lane-sensitive for the VSX swap optimization (since
both doublewords are identical, swaps are safe). This patch fixes
this as well, so that vectorized code using lxvdsx can now have swaps
removed from the computation.
There is an existing test (@test50) in test/CodeGen/PowerPC/vsx.ll
that checks for the missing optimization. However, vsx.ll was only
being tested for POWER7 with big-endian code generation. I've added
a little-endian RUN statement and expected LE code generation for all
the tests in vsx.ll to give us a bit better VSX coverage, including
what's needed for this patch.

This patch adds support for the following new instructions in the
Power ISA 2.07:
vpksdss
vpksdus
vpkudus
vpkudum
vupkhsw
vupklsw
These instructions are available through the vec_packs, vec_packsu,
vec_unpackh, and vec_unpackl built-in interfaces. These are
lane-sensitive instructions, so the built-ins have different
implementations for big- and little-endian, and the instructions must
be marked as killing the vector swap optimization for now.
The first three instructions perform saturating pack operations. The
fourth performs a modulo pack operation, which means it can be
represented with a vector shuffle, and conversely the appropriate
vector shuffles may cause this instruction to be generated. The other
instructions are only generated via built-in support for now.
Appropriate tests have been added.
There is a companion patch to clang for the rest of this support.

The initial code drop for VSX swap optimization permitted the
optimization only when all operations in a web of related computation
are lane-insensitive. For some lane-sensitive operations, we can
still permit the optimization provided that we make adjustments to
those operations. This patch adds special handling for vector splats
so that their presence doesn't kill the optimization.
Vector splats are lane-sensitive since they identify by number a
vector element to be used as the source of a splat. When swap
optimizations take place, the desired vector element will move to the
opposite doubleword of the quadword vector. We thus replace the index
I by (I + N/2) % N, where N is the number of elements in the vector.
A new test case is added to test that swap optimization succeeds when
vector splats are present, and that the proper input element is used
as the source of the splat.
An ancillary change removes SH_BUILDVEC as one of the kinds of special
handling that may be required by VSX swap optimization. From
experience with GCC, I had expected to need some modifications for
vector build operations, but I did not find that to be the case.

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.
