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.
I noticed during patch preparation that the macro __VSX__ was not
previously predefined when the power8-vector or direct-move features
are requested. This is an error, and I've corrected that here as
well.
Appropriate tests have been added.
There is a companion patch to llvm for the rest of this support.
llvm-svn: 237500
This patch adds builtin support for xvdivdp and xvdivsp, along with a
new test case. The builtins are accessed using vec_div in altivec.h.
Builtins are listed (mostly) alphabetically there, so inserting these
changed the line numbers for deprecation warnings tested in
test/Headers/altivec-intrin.c.
There is a companion patch for LLVM.
llvm-svn: 221984
The use of the vec_lvsl and vec_lvsr interfaces are discouraged for
little endian targets since Power8 hardware is a minimum requirement,
and Power8 provides reasonable performance for unaligned vector loads
and stores. Up till now we have not provided "correct" (i.e., big-
endian-compatible) code generation for these interfaces, as to do so
produces poorly performing code. However, this has become the source
of too many questions.
With this patch, LLVM will now produce compatible code for these
interfaces, but will also produce a deprecation warning message for
PPC64LE when one of them is used. This should make the porting direction
clearer to programmers. A similar patch has recently been committed to
GCC.
This patch includes a test for the warning message. There is a companion
patch that adds two unit tests to projects/test-suite.
