Refresh of the generic scheduling model to use A510 instead of A55.
Main benefits are to the little core, and introducing SVE scheduling information.
Changes tested on various OoO cores, no performance degradation is seen.

We would like to start pushing -mcpu=generic towards enabling the set of
features that improves performance for some CPUs, without hurting any
others. A blend of the performance options hopefully beneficial to all
CPUs. The largest part of that is enabling in-order scheduling using the
Cortex-A55 schedule model. This is similar to the Arm backend change
from eecb353d0e25ba which made -mcpu=generic perform in-order scheduling
using the cortex-a8 schedule model.
The idea is that in-order cpu's require the most help in instruction
scheduling, whereas out-of-order cpus can for the most part out-of-order
schedule around different codegen. Our benchmarking suggests that
hypothesis holds. When running on an in-order core this improved
performance by 3.8% geomean on a set of DSP workloads, 2% geomean on
some other embedded benchmark and between 1% and 1.8% on a set of
singlecore and multicore workloads, all running on a Cortex-A55 cluster.
On an out-of-order cpu the results are a lot more noisy but show flat
performance or an improvement. On the set of DSP and embedded
benchmarks, run on a Cortex-A78 there was a very noisy 1% speed
improvement. Using the most detailed results I could find, SPEC2006 runs
on a Neoverse N1 show a small increase in instruction count (+0.127%),
but a decrease in cycle counts (-0.155%, on average). The instruction
count is very low noise, the cycle count is more noisy with a 0.15%
decrease not being significant. SPEC2k17 shows a small decrease (-0.2%)
in instruction count leading to a -0.296% decrease in cycle count. These
results are within noise margins but tend to show a small improvement in
general.
When specifying an Apple target, clang will set "-target-cpu apple-a7"
on the command line, so should not be affected by this change when
running from clang. This also doesn't enable more runtime unrolling like
-mcpu=cortex-a55 does, only changing the schedule used.
A lot of existing tests have updated. This is a summary of the important
differences:
- Most changes are the same instructions in a different order.
- Sometimes this leads to very minor inefficiencies, such as requiring
an extra mov to move variables into r0/v0 for the return value of a test
function.
- misched-fusion.ll was no longer fusing the pairs of instructions it
should, as per D110561. I've changed the schedule used in the test
for now.
- neon-mla-mls.ll now uses "mul; sub" as opposed to "neg; mla" due to
the different latencies. This seems fine to me.
- Some SVE tests do not always remove movprfx where they did before due
to different register allocation giving different destructive forms.
- The tests argument-blocks-array-of-struct.ll and arm64-windows-calls.ll
produce two LDR where they previously produced an LDP due to
store-pair-suppress kicking in.
- arm64-ldp.ll and arm64-neon-copy.ll are missing pre/postinc on LPD.
- Some tests such as arm64-neon-mul-div.ll and
ragreedy-local-interval-cost.ll have more, less or just different
spilling.
- In aarch64_generated_funcs.ll.generated.expected one part of the
function is no longer outlined. Interestingly if I switch this to use
any other scheduled even less is outlined.
Some of these are expected to happen, such as differences in outlining
or register spilling. There will be places where these result in worse
codegen, places where they are better, with the SPEC instruction counts
suggesting it is not a decrease overall, on average.

Summary:
Currently fast-isel-abort will only abort for regular instructions,
and just warn for function calls, terminators, function arguments.
There is already fast-isel-abort-args but nothing for calls and
terminators.
This change turns the fast-isel-abort options into an integer option,
so that multiple levels of strictness can be defined.
This will help no being surprised when the "abort" option indeed does
not abort, and enables the possibility to write test that verifies
that no intrinsics are forgotten by fast-isel.

shift-right for booleans (i1).
Arithmetic shift-right immediate with sign-/zero-extensions also works for
boolean values. Update the assert and the test cases to reflect that fact.

Logical shift-right immediate with sign-/zero-extensions also works for boolean
values. Update the assert and the test cases to reflect that fact.

Shifts also perform sign-/zero-extends to larger types, which requires us to emit
an integer extend instead of a simple COPY.
Related to PR21594.
llvm-svn: 222257
This change emits a COPY for a shift-immediate with a "zero" shift value.
This fixes PR21594 where we emitted a shift instruction with an incorrect
immediate operand.
llvm-svn: 222247
Shift-left immediate with sign-/zero-extensions also works for boolean values.
Update the assert and the test cases to reflect that fact.
This should fix a bug found by Chad.
llvm-svn: 218275
This uses the target-dependent selection code for shifts first, which allows us
to create better code for shifts with immediates and sign-/zero-extend folding.
Vector type are not handled yet and the code falls back to target-independent
instruction selection for these cases.
This fixes rdar://problem/17907920.
llvm-svn: 216985
This is mostly achieved by providing the correct register class manually,
because getRegClassFor always returns the GPR*AllRegClass for MVT::i32 and
MVT::i64.
Also cleanup the code to use the FastEmitInst_* method whenever possible. This
makes sure that the operands' register class is properly constrained. For all
the remaining cases this adds the missing constrainOperandRegClass calls for
each operand.
llvm-svn: 216225
This fix changes the parameters #r and #s that are passed to the UBFM/SBFM
instruction to get the zero/sign-extension for free.
The original problem was that the shift left would use the 32-bit shift even for
i8/i16 value types, which could leave the upper bits set with "garbage" values.
The arithmetic shift right on the other side would use the wrong MSB as sign-bit
to determine what bits to shift into the value.
This fixes <rdar://problem/17907720>.
llvm-svn: 214788
Currently the shift-immediate versions are not supported by tblgen and
hopefully this can be later removed, once the required support has been
added to tblgen.
