68a80a4436 [SystemZ] Ensure -mno-vx disables any use of vector features
When passing the -vector feature to LLVM (or equivalently the
-mno-vx command line argument to clang), the intent is that
generated code must not use any vector features (in particular,
no vector registers must be used).

However, there are some cases where we still could generate
such uses; these are all related to some of the additional
vector features (like +vector-enhancements-1).  Since none
of those features are actually usable with -vector, just make
sure we disable them all if -vector is given.

b35833b84e [GlobalISel][AMDGPU] Legalize saturating add/subtract
Add support in LegalizerHelper for lowering G_SADDSAT etc. either
using add/subtract-with-overflow or using max/min instructions.

Enable this lowering for AMDGPU so it can be tested. The legalization
rules are still approximate and skips out on using the clamp bit to
treat these as legal, which has never been used before. This also
doesn't yet try to deal with expanding SALU cases.

2f8e6b5f3c [ScheduleDAGRRList] Limit number of candidates to explore.
Currently popFromQueueImpl iterates over all candidates to find the best
one. While the candidate queue is small, this is not a problem. But it
becomes a problem once the queue gets larger. For example, the snippet
below takes 330s to compile with llc -O0, but completes in 3s with this
patch.

define void @test(i4000000* %ptr) {
entry:
  store i4000000 0, i4000000* %ptr, align 4
  ret void
}

This patch limits the number of candidates to check to 1000. This limit
ensures that it never triggers for test-suite/SPEC2000/SPEC2006 on X86
and AArch64 with -O3, while still drastically limiting the compile-time
in case of very large queues.

It would be even better to use a binary heap to manage to queue
(D83335), but some heuristics change the score of a node in the queue
after another node has been scheduled. I plan to address this for
backends that use the MachineScheduler in the future, but that requires
a more careful evaluation. In the meantime, the limit should help users
impacted by this issue.

The patch includes a slightly smaller version of the motivating example
as test case, to guard against the issue.

b2c65beb14 [X86] Rework the "sahf" feature flag to only apply to 64-bit mode.
SAHF/LAHF instructions are always available in 32-bit mode. Early
64-bit capable CPUs made the undefined opcodes in 64-bit mode. This
was changed on later CPUs.

We have a feature flag to control our usage of these instructions.
This feature flag is hooked up to a clang command line option
-msahf/-mno-sahf specifically to give control of the 64-bit mode
behavior.

In the backend X86Subtarget constructor we were explicitly forcing
+sahf into the feature flag string if we were not compiling for
64-bit mode. This was intended to make the predicates always allow
the instructions outside of 64-bit mode. Unfortunately, the way
it was placed into the string allowed -mno-sahf from clang to disable
SAHF instructions in 32-bit mode. This causes an assertion to fire
if you compile a floating point comparison with something like
"-march=pentium -mno-sahf" as our floating point comparison
handling on CPUs that don't support FCOMI/FUCOMI instructions
requires SAHF.

To fix this, this commit restricts the feature flag to only apply to
64-bit mode by ignoring the flag outside 64-bit mode in
X86Subtarget::hasLAHFSAHF(). This way we don't need to mess with
the feature string at all.

0b8fd77ad9 [AMDGPU][MC] Corrected decoding of 16-bit literals
16-bit literals are encoded as 32-bit values. If high 16-bits of the value is 0xFFFF, the decoded instruction cannot be reassembled.

For example, the following code

0xff,0x04,0x04,0x52,0xcd,0xab,0xff,0xff

was decoded as

v_mul_lo_u16_e32 v2, 0xffffabcd, v2

However this literal is actually a 64-bit constant 0x00000000ffffabcd which violates requirements described in the documentation - the truncation is not safe.

This change corrects decoding to make reassembly possible.

a60251d739 [PowerPC] Add linker opt for PC Relative GOT indirect accesses
A linker optimization is available on PowerPC for GOT indirect PCRelative loads.

The idea is that we can mark a usual GOT indirect load:

pld 3, vec@got@pcrel(0), 1
lwa 3, 4(3)

With a relocation to say that if we don't need to go through the GOT we can let
the linker further optimize this and replace a load with a nop.

  pld 3, vec@got@pcrel(0), 1
.Lpcrel1:
.reloc .Lpcrel1-8,R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT,.-(.Lpcrel1-8)
  lwa 3, 4(3)

This patch adds the logic that allows the compiler to add the R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT.

2a6c871596 [InstCombine] Move target-specific inst combining
For a long time, the InstCombine pass handled target specific
intrinsics. Having target specific code in general passes was noted as
an area for improvement for a long time.

D81728 moves most target specific code out of the InstCombine pass.
Applying the target specific combinations in an extra pass would
probably result in inferior optimizations compared to the current
fixed-point iteration, therefore the InstCombine pass resorts to newly
introduced functions in the TargetTransformInfo when it encounters
unknown intrinsics.
The patch should not have any effect on generated code (under the
assumption that code never uses intrinsics from a foreign target).

This introduces three new functions:
TargetTransformInfo::instCombineIntrinsic
TargetTransformInfo::simplifyDemandedUseBitsIntrinsic
TargetTransformInfo::simplifyDemandedVectorEltsIntrinsic

A few target specific parts are left in the InstCombine folder, where
it makes sense to share code. The largest left-over part in
InstCombineCalls.cpp is the code shared between arm and aarch64.

This allows to move about 3000 lines out from InstCombine to the targets.

f8abecf337 [ARM] Extra MVE select(binop) patterns
This is very similar to 243970d03cace2, but handling a slightly
different form of predicated operations. When starting with a pattern of
the form select(p, BinOp(x, y), x), Instcombine will often transform
this to BinOp(x, select(p, y, 0)), where 0 is the identity value of the
binop (0 for adds/subs, 1 for muls, -1 for ands etc). This adds the
patterns that transforms those back into predicated binary operations.

There is also a very minor adjustment to tablegen null_frag in here, to
allow it to also be recognized as a PatLeaf node, so that it can be used
in MVE_TwoOpPattern to easily exclude the cases where we do not need the
alternate transform.

bef56f7fe2 [AArch64][SVE] Correctly allocate scavenging slot in presence of SVE.

* Forces the availability of the base-pointer (x19) when the frame has
  both scalable vectors and variable-length arrays. Otherwise it will
  be expensive to access non-SVE locals.

* In presence of SVE stack objects, it will allocate the emergency
  scavenging slot close to the SP, so that they can be accessed from
  the SP or BP if available. If accessed from the frame-pointer, it will
  otherwise need an extra register to access the scavenging slot because
  of mixed scalable/non-scalable addressing modes.

94e4e37d55 [Thumb] set code alignment for 16-bit load from constant pool
Summary:
[Thumb] set code alignment for 16-bit load from constant pool

LLVM miscompiles this code when compiling for a target with v8.2-A FP16 and the Thumb ISA at -O0:

extern void bar(__fp16 P5);

int main() {
  __fp16 P5 = 1.96875;
  bar(P5);
}

The code section containing main has 2 byte alignment.
It needs to have 4 byte alignment,
because the load literal instruction has an offset from the
load address with the low 2 bits zeroed.

I do not include a test case in this check-in.
llc and llvm-mc do not exhibit this bug. They do not set code section alignment
in the same manner as clang.

84704d989b AMDGPU: Fix not accounting for constantexpr uses of LDS globals
This was failing to add the size of LDS globals that weren't directly
used by an instruction. They could be used by constant expressions
which are transitively used by the function. This requires a better
search, but just abort on this for now for correctness.

5e999cbe8d IR: Define byref parameter attribute
This allows tracking the in-memory type of a pointer argument to a
function for ABI purposes. This is essentially a stripped down version
of byval to remove some of the stack-copy implications in its
definition.

This includes the base IR changes, and some tests for places where it
should be treated similarly to byval. Codegen support will be in a
future patch.

My original attempt at solving some of these problems was to repurpose
byval with a different address space from the stack. However, it is
technically permitted for the callee to introduce a write to the
argument, although nothing does this in reality. There is also talk of
removing and replacing the byval attribute, so a new attribute would
need to take its place anyway.

This is intended avoid some optimization issues with the current
handling of aggregate arguments, as well as fixes inflexibilty in how
frontends can specify the kernel ABI. The most honest representation
of the amdgpu_kernel convention is to expose all kernel arguments as
loads from constant memory. Today, these are raw, SSA Argument values
and codegen is responsible for turning these into loads.

Background:

There currently isn't a satisfactory way to represent how arguments
for the amdgpu_kernel calling convention are passed. In reality,
arguments are passed in a single, flat, constant memory buffer
implicitly passed to the function. It is also illegal to call this
function in the IR, and this is only ever invoked by a driver of some
kind.

It does not make sense to have a stack passed parameter in this
context as is implied by byval. It is never valid to write to the
kernel arguments, as this would corrupt the inputs seen by other
dispatches of the kernel. These argumets are also not in the same
address space as the stack, so a copy is needed to an alloca. From a
source C-like language, the kernel parameters are invisible.
Semantically, a copy is always required from the constant argument
memory to a mutable variable.

The current clang calling convention lowering emits raw values,
including aggregates into the function argument list, since using
byval would not make sense. This has some unfortunate consequences for
the optimizer. In the aggregate case, we end up with an aggregate
store to alloca, which both SROA and instcombine turn into a store of
each aggregate field. The optimizer never pieces this back together to
see that this is really just a copy from constant memory, so we end up
stuck with expensive stack usage.

This also means the backend dictates the alignment of arguments, and
arbitrarily picks the LLVM IR ABI type alignment. By allowing an
explicit alignment, frontends can make better decisions. For example,
there's real no advantage to an aligment higher than 4, so a frontend
could choose to compact the argument layout. Similarly, there is a
high penalty to using an alignment lower than 4, so a frontend could
opt into more padding for small arguments.

Another design consideration is when it is appropriate to expose the
fact that these arguments are all really passed in adjacent
memory. Currently we have a late IR optimization pass in codegen to
rewrite the kernel argument values into explicit loads to enable
vectorization. In most programs, unrelated argument loads can be
merged together. However, exposing this property directly from the
frontend has some disadvantages. We still need a way to track the
original argument sizes and alignments to report to the driver. I find
using some side-channel, metadata mechanism to track this
unappealing. If the kernel arguments were exposed as a single buffer
to begin with, alias analysis would be unaware that the padding bits
betewen arguments are meaningless. Another family of problems is there
are still some gaps in replacing all of the available parameter
attributes with metadata equivalents once lowered to loads.

The immediate plan is to start using this new attribute to handle all
aggregate argumets for kernels. Long term, it makes sense to migrate
all kernel arguments, including scalars, to be passed indirectly in
the same manner.
